It's been an exciting and busy 4 months since the Power Word: Gold blog came into existence. I've met so many awesome people and learned so much. Today however while we were recording this week's Podcast something was missing. I couldn't quite put my finger on it...

There are times when adding an item link to your barking macros can mean the difference between making the sale and getting passed over. Most of us should know how to add an item link if we're barking in trade to sell one item (hold Shift+Left Click the item in your bag) but what...

Recent news from the Patch 4.2 Public Test Realm (PTR) that the vendor price for uncut uncommon Cataclysm gems has being reduced from 5 gold each to 50 silver (See "Patch 4.2 PTR: Uncut green gems vendor price reduced") has lead many to wonder: "What is the new vendor...

In this short video I go over a few advanced espionage tactics for those trying to find an advantage making sales in heavily camped markets such as glyphs of cut gems. If you can't be online more than your competition you have to be more creative than your competiton. In this example I use the /tar command along with raid markers to help track my main glyph competition. Find...

We here at Power Word: Gold are always looking for new and interesting ways to compare ourselves to other gold makers. The struggle to see who has the largest gold epeen is never ending. Like the Highlander said "There can be only one master of gold". With that in mind...

A very common question I get asked is "How do I set up auctioning groups in TradeSkillMaster." TradeSkillMaster (or TSM) is a very powerful addon but it can be intimidating at first. I made this video as a step-by-step guide to setting up auctioning groups for those players new to the addon. I hope it will answer many of those questions and allow players to get up and...

This is a short informal "chat" style video (inspired heavily by Faid's "Fadian Slip" videos). Its main purpose being a quick 10 minute chat about what ever gold-making subject strikes my fancy. I'm considering doing these on a weekly basis to allow me a bit more freedom to share more "free-form" thoughts and ideas.  The visual part of the video (me doing my glyph routine)...

Today I wanted to go over the basics of setting up "Shopping Lists" in the Auctionator addon. Shopping lists are a great way to keep an eye on items and markets that are important to your gold-making efforts. I use Auctionator Shopping Lists multiple times a day to check my most...

In this video I demonstrate how I utilize the Potion of Treasure Finding to help motivate and focus my skinning sessions. While I'm not one to harp on "gold per hour" it was nice to see that I was able to get around 3000g worth of materials in this one hour farming session. Full video notes (and more grinding spots) after the jum...

The Undermine Journal is a treasure trove of valuable information for anyone  interested in making gold in World of Warcraft. Unfortunately for many of us it can also seem large (and often overwhelming) sea of information threatening to drown us in numbers. Today I...
