The Fastest Way I Know To Level 11 Characters



(Quick personal note: April and I were blessed to have a hearty and healthy baby girl come into our lives on Dec 10, 2013. She is our first and, as any parent can tell you, babies take up a lot of time. The results are totally worth the effort but if you notice things slowing down a bit here at Power Word: Gold just know we're busy helping "level up" the cutest level one you've ever seen.)

With 11 new characters (and 22 new professions) to level in the next month I thought I'd go over something I briefly touched on in Episode 77 of the podcast: The most efficient way to level 11 new characters.

In the podcast I mentioned that Recruit-a-Friend was likely going to factor into my strategy. In this post I'm going to explain how I'm planning to use Recuit-a-Friend to level 11 new characters as fast as I can.

Planning Out 22 New Profession Slots



My realm was connected to another on Monday and, besides the server "holy wars" going on in trade chat, the world has not ended.

After doing my normal gold-making routine (I'm not changing any prices until a week after the connection) I decided to create 11 new characters on the new realm.

11 new characters means 22 new profession slots. But which do I choose and where do I put them? Read on for some of my initial thoughts.

New Subreddit For The Power Word: Gold Community


A new subreddit has been created for readers, viewers, listeners, supporters, and fans of Power Word: Gold (AKA "The Power Word: Gold Nation").

/R/PWGNation is a subreddit built to let all everyone in the Power Word: Gold community come together to share and discuss gold-making ideas, ask and answer gold-making questions, and interact directly with me (Jim).

Its main purpose is to be a meeting place where people who enjoy Power Word: Gold can come together, share and socialize.

Being a "text post only" subreddit, /r/pwgnation is not designed for (and does not allow) self-promotion (including by Power Word: Gold itself).

I plan to be very active on the subreddit and the current moderators plan to add additional moderators picked directly from The Power Word: Gold Nation.

Head over to http://www.reddit.com/r/pwgnation and subscribe, submit ideas and questions, and enjoy yourself. If you want to easily keep tabs on new content you can also subscribe to the /r/PWGNation RSS feed.

My Current Gold-Making Roster Of Characters



With Connected Realms (possibly) coming my way the idea of adding 11 more characters is becoming a real possibility. With that in mind I thought I'd take some time today to go over my current gold-making roster of characters.

I'll be breaking the info into three main sections: professions, cooldowns and general gold-making activities. In doing so I hope to expose a bit more information about my own personal gold-making techniques. Read on for more.

Pet Sales by Kassandra [Hatchery Post]


Kassandra writes:

"Lately I have been dabbling with pet sales.  One of the things I like best about selling pets is the deposit on auctioning a caged pet is low, a mere one silver to run a twenty-four hour auction.  It would take me a hundred listings before I even lost a single gold piece."

Warlords of Draenor - Gold-Making and Beyond



In case you've been hiding under a rock and haven't heard Blizzcon was this last weekend and we got to learn about World of Warcraft's next expansion "Warlords of Draenor". Warlords is going to be set on Draenor 35 years in the past (you know, before being exploded and turned into Outlands).

While there is going to be lots of news and media in the lead up to the expansion release (which I'm predicting will be late-ish 2014) I thought I'd take some time to highlight a few of the new features that us gold-makers will be interested in. Read on past the jump for more.

You See Connected Realms, I See 11 More Alts



It looks like my realm is planned to be connected in the future. How do I feel about this? For an altoholic like me it's kinda like Christmas!

A few of the things I get with a new realm connecting to mine:

  • Ability to level 11 more alts while keeping them in my personal guild.
  • Use alt leveling to level my Horde guild.
  • Finally use all the heirlooms I've collected over the years.
  • More alts with daily profession cooldowns to feed my main crafting alts.
  • More buyers for my items.
  • Fresh virgin inventory to buy in some of my favorite markets.
  • Did I mention more alts?!

I don't fear the connection anymore. I welcome it.

How has your connected realm been since connecting?

Oct 21 Connected Realm Population Changes


Yesterday we did a post entitled New Connected Realms - Population And Auction House Analysis where we analyzed some the statistics and economies of a few of the realms that became Connected Realms today.

In today's follow-up post I wanted to do a bit more analysis on the realm population of not only the Connected Realms but also World of Warcraft realm populations in general.

New Connected Realms - Population and Auction House Analysis



Since first hearing about "Connected Realms" many of us gold-makers have wondered if and when our realms would become connected and how that would effect our economies.

Tomorrow (October, 21 2013) some of the first realms will become "Connected Realms". This means that for all intents and purposes all essential game systems, including the auction house, will be shared between the Connected Realms.

We spoke with Blizzard Technical Director Marco Koegler about connected realms in The Power Word: Gold Podcast Episode #071. Back then Marco let us know it would be a manual selection process. Head past the jump for more data and analysis.

A Guide To Grouper - Generate TSM Groups From Item Web Links



We've created a tool for creating importable TradeSkillMaster (TSM) groups from almost any webpage that includes links to World of Warcraft items. The tool has been fully updated to work with TradeSkillMaster 2.0's new group import format. It's called Grouper.

Grouper is based off of SLAGIT which was created by our longtime livestream viewer Rootfix and has been hosted at Power Word: Gold for a good while. Grouper can always be found by using the "Grouper" link at the top of Power Word: Gold. Read on for our guide on how to use Grouper to speed up your importable TSM group creation.

Full 83-84 MoP Armor TradeSkillMaster Importable Lists


About a month ago it occurred to me that if I had a list of every desirable 83-84 Mists of Pandaria armor and suffix in the game and was able to import that list into TradeSkillMaster that I would be able to greatly simplify not only the selling of items in my 83-84 market items but also make buying them easier.

My goal was to build such a set of master lists I could import into TradeSkillMaster groups. Once I had created a groups using this lists I could then build TSM shopping operations to search for the items and TSM Auctioning Operations to sell these items. All this with out ever having to spend time adding newly purchased items one by one into TSM groups by hand.

Read on past the jump for more info on how I create the lists and, more importantly, the lists themselves for you import into TradeSkillMaster and use yourself.

If At First You Don't Succeed, Subreddit Again.



I'm up entirely too late on the day before we have to finish packing but I wanted to let people know that after what happened with my reddit shadowban and the transfer of moderation of /r/WoWGoldMaking to someone else I had resigned myself to laughing at cat pictures and taking a "step back".

Then I realized that that would be a terrible idea.

Instead I created a new subreddit for World of Warcraft gold-making discussion entitled /r/GoldMakingDiscussion.

If you were a fan of /r/WoWGoldMaking head over to /r/GoldMakingDiscussion and subscribe.

So what's different about /r/GoldMakingDiscussion? No links allowed. the subreddit is a text ("self") post only subreddit.

People are not allowed to link to anything as part of a submission. There is no way in hell that I'm going to let myself or anyone else who uses the subreddit get shadowbanned from reddit because they chose to post links to their own content.

If you want to post your own content on reddit I'm sure you can find other subreddits to do it on.

That said if you do decide to be part of the new subreddit please read the rules on the sidebar. The moderators and I are serious about them. (Also they are going to be fleshed out as time goes along.)

Anyway I need to sleep. Head over and subscribe and lets build a great place for people to discuss World of Warcraft gold-making (again).

The Curious Case of /r/WoWGoldMaking


I think reddit is one of the best websites/communities out there. That's the reason I chose to start the /r/WoWGoldMaking subreddit over 2 years ago. Over the last 2+ years I think the subreddit has grown into an awesome resource for the gold-making community.

I was (and still am) proud of what we (meaning the community not the goofy "royal" we I'm so fond of) created over there. It was a place where people could ask questions, share their blog posts and discuss gold-making in general.

Imagine my surprise when I received a reddit message letting me know that the subreddit had been requested to be turned over to another redditor.

By surprise I mean utter shock and a fair amount of freaking out. What was happening? Why was this person asking to have the subreddit turned over to them? Most of all why wasn't my reddit user page (/r/fluxdada) showing up? Read on for more about what happened (from my perspective at least).

Addon Mastery - A New Place To Ask Gold-Making Addon Questions


If you have questions about World of Warcraft gold-making addons that you'd like answered (or if you're someone who has great knowledge of gold-making addons) we're proud to introduce our latest project: Addon Mastery.

Addon Mastery is a new question and answer site that we've created (currently in beta) specifcally to help answer questions people have about gold-making addons.

With the introduction of TradeSkillMaster 2.0 the volume of gold-making addon questions has never been higher.

If you have gold-making addon questions (or answers) we invite you to head over to AddonMastery.com (see update below), sign up for a free account and ask away.

Think of Addon Mastery as a Yahoo! Answers (or if you're more nerdy a Stack Overflow) for gold-making addons.

We're excited to see how the community grows over at Addon Mastery. Even more importantly we're excited to have a new way for the gold-making community to find answers to their addon questions.

Update: As of 9.30.13 we've decided to discontinue AddonMastery.com as an addon questions and answer site. We appreciate all who took place in the beta. AddonMastery.com may return in some form in the future. Until then if you have addon or gold-making questions a good place to ask is /r/GoldMakingDiscussion.

Blizzard's Macro Koegler Economy & Patch 5.4 Interview Transcript


We were lucky enough to be able to interview Marco Koegler, Technical Director for World of Warcraft at Blizzard, on Episode 071 of The Power Word: Gold Podcast.

During the interview we discussed topic ranging from how Connected Relams will be chosen in Patch 5.4, how Connected Realms may affect the in-game economy, how Blizzard developers work with the in-game economy and a discussion of the default auction house interface.

Marco shared a lot of really great (and often very candid) insight into Blizzard's development process with much of it relating directly to gold-making. Thanks again to Marco for doing the interview. It was great.

Below is a transcript of the entire interview.

TradeSkillMaster 2.0 Survival Guide & Theory



YouTube: TradeSkillMaster (TSM) 2.0 Survival Guide & Theory - How To Setup And Use

Starting to use TradeSkillMaster 2.0 can feel like someone came into your garage, stole all your tools and replaced them with a sealed cardboard box full of new ones.

The new tools seem strange. Off. They don't quite fit on your pegboard the same way the old ones did. Some of them are similar enough to make sense right away. Others you honestly have no idea what they do.

In this "Survival Guide" video I walk through the basic theory behind TradeSkillMaster 2.0 and the way works compared to TradeSkillMaster 1.0. I also show where to locate some of the most commonly used features of TSM 2.0.

TradeSkillMaster 2.0 - Groups & Sub-Groups Explained



I think is is important to give a visual metaphor for how groups and sub-groups work in TradeSkillMaster (TSM) 2.0 because it can seem confusing.

The video after the jump goes into great detail to explain the metaphor and help you understand what is happening when adding and removing items from groups and sub-groups. Read on for more theory and the video.

Low-Power Mode For The Next Month Or So



We (meaning April and I) are going to be moving soon and in order to give us enough time to prepare (isn't moving the worst!) as well as carve out a bit of time for a few other projects that that require special focus I'll be putting Power Word: Gold into "low-power" mode for the next month or so.

I do have some content that has already been created that will be released over the next few weeks. As for new content there will likely not be many updates until sometime in early to mid September.

I will will keep an eye on things like Twitter and Facebook but if things seem a bit quiet it is because we're busy doing fun stuff like packing boxes and cleaning out dust bunnies.

Have a great summer and we'll see you in September!
