In the post "Build 18566: Garrison and Profession Shifts" BlizzPro's Crow (@unlimitedBLACK) gives us some further observations and insights on how garrisons and professions are coming together (and working together) in the Warlords of Draenor beta.

Read on past the jump for a few excerpts and my thoughts on the changes.

In this quick video we show you where to find Korda Torros a rare spawn in Kun-Lai Summit who drops the BOP item Forager's Gloves. The gloves make mining, herbing, skinning and archeology faster in Mists of Pandaria zones.

Today's guest post was written by Kyrum. If you'd like the chance to see your own gold-making guest post appear on Power Word: Gold email the post text, title, images (attached) and your public name/pseudonym to [email protected] with "Submission" in the subject line. 

If you are like me and farm dungeons you probably realized that even if you run into a dungeon with some fancy Netherweave Bags, or Embersilk bags, that it is inevitable that you are going to run out of bag space sooner or later, fly back or hearthstone back to a vendor to sell all your junk items, put stuff in your bank. So on and so forth.

So the story begins with me. At the time I was a lvl 88 protection pally needing to get some Netherweave.
I went on my dragon (everyone has one now don't they?) to go over to the old Burning Crusade dungeon called The Blood Furnace. If your newer to the game or just don't know where that is we got links. Read past the jump for more.

You may have seen my first video about farming Lovely Charms in Throne of the Tides. Well, I'm back at it and in this video I show an alternative spot I am using to not only farm Lovely Charms but also make some nice extra gold by drinking a Potion of Treasure Finding and selling the items I get in Tiny Treasure Chests. While it isn't as fast as the Throne of the Tides spot it is much more lucrative from a guaranteed-gold perspective.

This farming spot is called "Fractured Front" and is in western Deepholm.  You will see large numbers of Troggs fighting Dwarfs and Golems. Those Troggs are your targets. The video is from my perspective as a hunter but this can be farmed by pretty much any class. The first place I learned about this spot was in the comments on our "Trash Dash" post.

World of Warcraft Patch 4.3 is now available for testing on the Public Test Realm (PTR) and with new PTRs comes people who "mine" the data contained in these new patches to bring us lots of new and exciting information.

In the last few days there has been a flurry of new information about the profession changes and additions that will most likely be introduced in Patch 4.3. The two most thorough are "Patch 4.3 - PTR Build 14732 - Spell Changes, New Items, Maps, and More!" at Wowhead News and "Patch 4.3 on PTR" at MMO Champion.

After the jump I'm going to be doing my best to break down the epic gem information which was recently made available via this datamining and analyze what it could mean to us as gold-makers. I'll also be giving a few ideas on how the datamined information matches up with epic gem information given in recent interviews.

Episode 019 of The Power Word: Gold Podcast. Your host flux brings you the latest World of Warcraft gold-making news, tips and strategies from this last few weeks.

In this week's episode flux discusses how he's been making gold this week, the news of epic gems in 4.3 and what it means to gold-making, posts of the week, preparing for Patch 4.3 and much more. And now, on with the show!

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 we've devised a fool-proof strategy for seeing who has the biggest sack...of gold. Introducing the "Treasure Potion Trash Dash"! The last server-independent gold-making contest you'll ever need. We'll go over the rules and our initial (and massive) results after the jump

I'm sorry. I can't let you do that.

Sorry for the slightly misleading title. I did make 5k gold in Netherstorm in one week except that it was 4 years ago. This is my entry into Cold's Gold Blogging Carnival for March 2011 entitled "What Was Your Defining Moment?".

Gather around children because Old Grandpa Flux is going to tell you a story about making gold back in the day. Back in a time when flying mounts were slower than ground mounts.

Back in a time when we fed our pets Roasted Clefthoof and the Track Treasure was actually useful! Pull up a seat and settle in as we take a trip down memory lane.

Northrend: Still cold!

While listening to the JMTC meeting one thing that caught my ear was the fact that on a few servers the price for Frostweave Cloth as well as Infinite Dust was quite high.

This makes me wonder if it is time to start looking into making gold by looking back to Northrend. If so what should we be looking? It might be time to dust off a few old LK gold making tricks.

Oh easy Whiptail. We hardly knew thee.

Just a quick note that the "Patch 4.0.6 Hotfixes - February 14" were posted today and should lay to rest any speculation on whether the Whiptail spawn rates were intentional.

Official note:

• Herbalism
• Whiptail was spawning too quickly in Uldum after patch 4.0.6. The spawn time has been reduced.

This is sure to make some of us sad but it should be interesting to see how the market adjusts (again). (Also if they 'reduced' the spawn time doesn't that mean it will spawn faster? lol)

Credit for finding this spot goes to Alto.

Whiptail Mail

So I woke up this morning to find that the spawns for Whiptail (and Volatile Life) in Uldum are still popping insanely fast. (As originally reported by Nerf Faids.) I had thought this might get hotfixed but as of this writing it hasn't. So what is a poor druid herbalists to do? Ride this pony into the ground.

That raises the question, If someone like us stumbles upon an opportunity like tons and tons of Whiptail and Volatile Life what is the best way to utilize it to make gold?

Like many of you I have all professions available to me and so the question becomes what is the best possible use for these herbs and spices...erm...lifes?

That's a lot of fish!

A recent post over at Auction House Addict about patch 4.0.6 reminded me I wanted to make a quick post about what I am calling the "Murglesnout Gambit".

What You may ask is the "Murglenout Gambit"? And wth is a Murglesnout? Tthe Murglesnout is a fish that has been able to be fished up but had no corresponding cooking recipe. Up until this point the only real use for these has been a cheap food for certain hunter pets.

When I got wind that a new recipe was being added in 4.0.6 I started snapping these little guys up for a few silver a piece. I am hoping that when Murglesnout are able to be cooked into Scalding Murglesnout via the new Recipe: Scalding Murglesnout the price for these will go up.
