Joe from Your WoW Moneycast podcast invited me to be interviewed on their podcast. This 50+ minute interview has quite a bit of information on what I've been up to, why I've been away, If I see myself coming back, and what my predictions are for Legion.

Listen to the episode here (my interview starts around 20 minutes in): Your WoW Moneycast - Show 159: Havah Nice Day Jim

Thanks to Joe and the crew for having me on!

Been a reader of PW:Gold for quite some time, and it was the articles by The Mogfather that infected me with the Goblin virus.

Guess that I was lucky to be first on my server to notice the possibilities of Xmog and it went really well, from a couple 10’s K gold to half a million in 5-6 months, was really awesome.

YouTube: Using TSM To Make & Sell Glyphs Pt.1 - How To by Jim Younkin


After reading Faid's How to Compete in Glyphs post over at ClockworkRiot I got fired up to jump back into the glyph market. I decided I wanted to record the experience of setting up my entire glyph creation and selling set up for posterity.

I was lucky enough to have Faid join me to help me for each step along the way. If you've ever wanted a complete soup-to-nuts explanation on how to properly set up a large glyph operation these two video (clocking in at a combined 3 hours) are about as good as it gets.

Again my gratitude to Faid for sharing her considerable glyph selling knowledge and her patience with helping me get it set up. Part 1 is above. Head past the jump for Part 2.

Episode 088 of The Power Word: Gold Podcast. We bring you the latest World of Warcraft gold-making tips, tricks and strategies.

In this episode your host Jim Younkin and guest Faid discuss Faid's return, the removal of realm first profession achievements, how to run a glyph market , and much more. And now… on with the show!

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.

Today's guest post was written by reader Sueshi. You can find them on twitter at @brocampaign.

World of Warcraft is a multi-faceted game and people’s motivations for playing are as diverse as the players themselves. Whether it’s raiding, pet battling, PvP, or gold-making it is challenging to master every aspect of this game.

When attempting to forge a new market or discover a new gold making “secret”, it is important to have an understanding of “why”? Why do players want it and why is it needed? Read on past the jump for a very interesting market I was able find.
