Oh! Thanks for asking, it’s been going quite well, actually.
I started up pretty late and I definitely didn’t cash in on the early cataclysm
craze, but I’m still quite the craftsman when it comes to earning Warcraft
gold. When I started playing, I went on a big spending spree and bought plenty
of vanity items, as well as some utility stuff like the Dalaran teleporter
ring, epic flying for most of my alts, etc. This dropped me to around 120
thousand gold, but now I’m back at around 220k. I started out slow, because I
needed to acquire some critical crafting recipes first, but over the last week
or two, I have been steadily earning around 5000 gold per day, for about 20
minutes of work.
.
When it comes to addons, I have replaced most of mine with
just one suite – the Trade Skill Master. It handles milling, disenchanting, mats
shopping, crafting, posting, mailing, and pretty much everything else. Only two
other gold related addons I use are the Auctionator as a better interface than
the standard one for when I need to buy or sell something manually and maybe
Ark Inventory, just to keep things nicely sorted.
When it comes to professions, my biggest money maker by far
is enchanting. I have no idea why that is, since jewelcrafting and inscription
usually get ahead, but I’m guessing it’s realm related. I probably have very
little competition in that area. The second runner up would probably be
jewelcrafting, then blacksmithing, then inscription. However, I get by far the
best ratio of work+investment to profit from inscription. I get the feeling
that if I worked hard to get most glyph recipes and really make a stockpile, I
would earn a lot. Leatherworking and alchemy would be my weakest professions,
and I completely gave up on Engineering, since pets rarely sell and it takes too
much time to buy the materials.
All in all, I’m the king (well, maybe a duke) of Warcraft
gold on my worthless realm and things will only get better.
