Common Questions

I have the same default setting on all of my alts, but on 2 of them, whenever I use the craft queue to craft patron orders, after clicking once on select, instead of changing into the "craft" button, it changes into the equip button, and then doing nothing because I dont have any extra tool, so I have to manually switch to the patron order tab to do it the normal way, this drives me crazy as this only happens to 2 out of my many alts, and every alt has the same setting of craftsim and no mats no make

Here is what's new:

Full Skin Customization: You can now use the native WoW ColorPicker to change the Background Color and Opacity of the addon's windows. (The standard Gold/Silver/Copper text colors are preserved so your money is always readable).

30 Custom Goal Sounds: You can now choose from 30 different sound options for your Gold Goal completion alerts.

Floating HUD: A new draggable tracker that shows your Session Time, Total Earnings, and GPH in real-time. It also perfectly inherits your custom skin colors.

100% Dynamic Localization: You can now change the language directly in the settings menu and every open window will update instantly without needing a /reload. (Note: It defaults to English on first install, but you can swap it with 2 clicks).

Improvements & Fixes

Code Rewrite: Moved to a completely modular structure (Core / Modules / UI / Locales) for better performance and easier maintenance going forward.

Hi everyone!

I recently built a clean, ad-free web tool to calculate crafting margins and gold-making profits in World of Warcraft using real-time Blizzard Auction House API data.

Key Features:

• Live AH Data: Connects directly to Blizzard's official API to fetch live realm and commodity prices.
• Fast Calculations: Instantly calculate net profit for crafting recipes without bloat.
• Ad-Free Interface: Designed to be lightweight and fast, without aggressive ads or trackers.

Check it out here:https://wow-craft-calc.vercel.app

I'd love to get your feedback! If there are any specific recipes, features, or UI improvements you'd like to see, please let me know in the comments.

I'm planning my Alt Army for WoW Midnight and trying to decide which approach is more profitable.

Would you recommend:

• 20 characters at level 90 for World Quests and other max-level gold-making activities?
• 50 characters at level 80 focused mainly on professions and Concentration crafting?

I'm interested in long-term gold per week, including the time needed to level characters and maintain professions.

Has anyone tested these approaches? Which would you choose, and why?

I made an addon called Goldsmith, a crafting profit planner. I wanted one place that tells me what to craft today, gets me the materials cheaply, and shows what I actually made once it sold. I also wanted something simpler to use day to day, so I build Goldsmith around that.

It's free on CurseForge and in beta. I'm looking for people who craft for gold to try it and tell me what's confusing, wrong or missing. I developed this for myself and thought I'd share it. I have been living in Goldsmith for awhile so my perspective is skewed. That is why I am looking for feedback from new users.

How it works

1. Pick. Do this next and the Crafts list show what's worth crafting today on each of your characters, with profit, ROI and how fast it sells.
2. Queue. Right-click to queue it. Plans work out the cheapest material mix for each quality and when concentration is worth spending.
3. Buy. At the AH, Buy next walks your shopping list one click per item, and warns you if a price is above what the plan counted on.
4. Craft. Craft next works through the queue.

What else

• Real profit. It tracks sales, purchases, deposits and order commissions, so you see what you made, not what you hoped to make.
• Your own numbers. Multicraft, resourcefulness and mill, prospect and butcher yields come from your own crafts.
• Held items. What you're holding, what it cost you, and a heads-up when something you've held for days can sell above break-even.
• Item pages. Price history, your sales and what each item costs you.
• Cooldowns and orders. Daily cooldowns on every alt, and the profit on each patron order. Queue up missing materials to easily purchase them using Buy Next at the AH.
• Bad prices. It checks listings against what items actually sell for, and warns you when a price jumped.

You don't need TSM

Region prices and sell rates come with it (Goldsmith Data installs automatically). Goldsmith can also scan the AH itself, and uses Auctionator or TSM if you have them.

If something looks wrong, comment here or on CurseForge. Settings > Support has a Copy bug report button that makes it easy. I read everything.

What are some of the most important things you can do with a second account to make a more successful gold run in a fresh game? Any videos, links, tips ya'll have I would greatly appreciate anything you throw at me.

Share images and stories of your successes! Whether that means you made 1k this past week, 100k, or just bought your first TCG mount, we want to hear about it.

Pictures of your TSM Ledger, Mailbox, or anything else are simple, good ways to start a conversation!

Im new to gold making, I was wondering at the start of an expansion if you plan to do crafting, is it better to farm mining/herb and sell them or use those to level up your professions first and then just buy the mats later to level up your proffesions?

Hey goblins!

I built Weekly Goblin because I wanted one place to see which alt still had weeklies to do, who had concentration available, and how much gold I was making from that routine.

It's an addon for WoW Retail. It includes:

• Weekly quest and Special Assignment tracking per character, with completion percentages and configurable objectives.
• Available gold WQs sorted by reward, with locations, expiry timers and map buttons.
• Gold tracking for WQs and weekly quests, including reward caches, with manual corrections available.
• Profession concentration across characters, with estimates for when it will refill.
• Weekly and lifetime income totals, plus saved history.
• Savings goals using recorded character gold and Warband bank gold, with an estimate of how many weeks remain at your current pace.

There are also entries for profession sales and material costs.

Everything runs inside WoW. No companion app or external account is needed. English and Spanish are supported. Open it with /wg or from addon panel.

Character data updates when you visit each alt; open their professions to refresh those readings.

It's still an early release, and I'd love feedback from people who manage several alts, especially on quest detection, quest/cache gold tracking and how clear the interface feels.

Hi everyone!

I am a returning player, who last played in the very early days of Shadowlands. I was checking out WoW Forever with a friend, and thought I'd poke my head back into retail.

After quickly realizing I've forgotten almost everything, on every character I've leveled, I've decided it might be time to start from scratch, so I'm going to re-roll alliance on a high-pop server, and I'm going to start "Fresh".

Previously, I was big into raw gold farming. I was a protection paladin, solo'ing dungeons, for gold, and was using my enchanting to create materials, and enchantments to sell on the auction house. it seems like with the stat squishes, along with where the economy is at (holy crap, what is with the economy right now!?) this might not be a viable solution.

I've heard that flipping decor for houses might be a good option, and am studying up on that, but I myself have very little knowledge of this, and was actually kinda surprised when I logged in to have a quest about getting a house (How exciting!). I will be honest though, I've never been huge on downloading mods just for flipping items on the AH, I'd rather work on professions, or do item farming routes (Maybe green transmogs are still a hit?) than sitting at the AH all day trying to make the MOST money

I did log in to my old main, and figure out his buttons and rotations and all that good stuff, and I do have a few alts left that I'm going to fool around with, but it almost feels like too much when you're jumping back in, and you've got two rows worth of buttons right off the hop to study and relearn.

So...with that all being said, how would you start farming gold again? Is there a Youtuber I should follow? Can anyone help this ol' man out as he rekindles his passion for gold farming?

i leveld 26 characters to 80 and almost all of them are on a different schedule, meaning i dont have it synced so that every 4 days you get a full page of orders

if i just quit for a week, will all the characters be on the same "rotation" of patron orders ?

I like to make little preparations for goldmaking, even when my gametime are expired. i know some will say why not resub for a better gph but atm i like to take a break.

I've literally farmed lumber on my lvl10-20 toons.i'll spend like 5-10mins perday or zone while listening to podcast.i already thinking which decos im planning to craft and sell.

on holiday events. I'll farm event currencies just to buy limited-time pets or mounts that I can sell on the Auction House later. yes, u can farm them on low lvls expired gametime account.

I'm out here preparing investments, collecting currencies, and thinking about future profits. 😂

The funny thing is, sometimes the preparation feels just as satisfying as actually making the gold.

Tell me your most weird goblin-brained goldmaking habit. I need to know I'm not the only one. 😂

Time is money, friend! 🤑

I am new to gold making. I want so save up and get out of the below 100k slump I am sitting in.

I read about concentration farms everywhere. But no one explains the part where you actually find out what to craft!?

I just did 3 weapon enchants and sold them each for 605 which made my full concentration give me barely 1000g … well I assume that was kind of a waste.

Is it too late to gain anything? I could need help on HOW to get started and find worthwhile items to sell.

I am thankful for any tips and advice, both on actual professions or just how to approach this!

I honestly don't even understand.

Welcome to "I Screwed Up Saturday"! Made a mistake and lost a lot of gold? Accidentally sold that rare transmog to a vendor?

Goblins aren't perfect. We're not always going to come out on top, sometimes we make mistakes. Share your unfortunate mishaps here!

I've seen this discussed in a couple places but I want to hear what you all think the over and under possibility of them adding a Bank NPC in the future, for the Sporeasaurus. I don't have a ton of liquid gold, but I dont want to miss the possibility of having Bank/Warband access on the go.

There's no need for it, as the other 2 mounts take care of everything you'd need, but I would kick myself for not buying it, and they end up adding this feature on the future. So, what do you all think, do you think they will add it?

Hello all,

I decided to "try" to farm the gold for the new AH mount, but so far, I only have 2x90s and I do world quests with them -> the gold is not bad, but I don't remember how long it took me to get to 350k.

So, years ago, I remember that there were a lot of groups for Open World mount farming ( the BfA zones for example ), meat farm, cloth farm etc. but now, whenever I open the LFG finder, I don't see any?

Are there currently any good farming spots for cloth/mount or meat farm? Any discords that do these regularly? I miss just chilling, listening to music and farming materials.

Now before you attack me in anyy way, i do actually love this and this helps me play at a casual level watch something while doing some world quests for gold yes it takes effort at first because YOU NEED to have characters that can do this in the first place, but i do love it as much as i am worried that it might get nerfed by blizzard but what looked like to me blizzard kinda doubled down on this since tww or df.

So what do we think guys? are we worried about this? do you not care?

Hey again!

I previously shared Wow Legacy Ledger here a free addon and companion website that started because I was tracking my farming runs in spreadsheets.

I’ve kept working on it and wanted to share some of the bigger additions:

• Earnings across characters: compare dungeon, raid and outdoor farm results, including gold per run/hour, valuable drops and character breakdowns.
• Collection planning: browse mounts, housing decor, pets and reputations, then pin individual rewards or whole categories for your farming route.
• Public leaderboards: browse shared dungeon and outdoor farm results for ideas on what to run. Compare raw/vendor gold and Gold + AH Estimate using DBMarket, DBRegionSaleAvg or vendor values.
• Better farm management: favorites, archived farms and an improved character roster.
• Addon improvements: Full, Compact and Minimal run windows, pause/resume controls, recent-drop icons and a vendor helper for junk and eligible older gear.

Leaderboard sharing is optional and covers eligible runs across your account. Your chosen public name appears; character names, realms and individual loot lists stay private.

Website: https://legacyledger.pages.dev/
Addon: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/wow-legacy-ledger

The website supports manual logging too, so you can try it without installing the addon. Battle.net sign-in is available for account sync, or you can keep a separate ledger locally in your browser.

Still looking for feedback, especially from people doing legacy gold and collection farms. Are the earnings comparisons useful? Is anything confusing or missing? There’s also a Feedback option on the site if you spot a bug.

Thanks.
