Kaliope recently wrote about the mechanics of Leatherworking cooldowns on the Patch 5.4 Public Test Realm. Based on their observations it seems the act of daily cooldowns teaching new PVP and PVE recipied will continue in 5.4.

I just wanted to give a few tips to people looking to make gold from these recipes. Head past the jump for my advice.

MMO Champion has posted new data-mined information from the Patch 5.4 PTR. Read on past the jump for some new profession information Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Tailoring and Enchanting.

One of the most common questions people as me in my livestreams is "What do you spend all that gold on?".

While it seems they envision someone buying Spectral Tigers or spending gold-cap on Mimiron's Head from the Black Market Auction house the reality is much less glamorous.

Has past the jump for what I actually spend my gold on.

The Theramore scenario hits live realms today (already live in EU) and the scenario requires item level 353 to queue.

With sweet iLevel 384 heads and weapons being handed out like candy, I'm making sure that I'm crafting and/or flipping cheap iLevel 377 Vicious Embersilk and Vicious Fireweave PVP items. These are often items used by people looking to boost the item level of their characters in order to get into higher dungeons (and now scenarios).

If you have a Tailor you might look into this market and see if there are gaps and/or cheap (30-60g) items that can be flipped for a better price today. If you have a Jewelcrafter, Leatherworker or Blacksmith you might also look into the Vicious Jewelry, Leather, Mail and Plate items as well.

Here are the Auctionator searches I'm using to look for these items:

Vicious Emb
Vicious Fire

I'm selling most items for 650g each with the exception of wrists and belts which I sell for 450g.

Will they all sell? We'll see. If not I can always disenchant them for Heavenly Shards.


(Secret Bonus Tip: Hunter's will be getting new i384 guns today. Be sure to stock the AH with Flintlock Woodchuckers.)

After doing a Black Rock Depths run on my 85 I ended up with Runecloth. A lot of Runecloth. Indeed the AOE looting system that was introduced in Patch 5.0.4 has made running old instances much quicker. If you don't have to bend down to loot every mob you can simply round up a whole bunch of groups, AOE them down and click once to loot them all.

That wasn't what caught my attention. What caught my attention was the prices for Runecloth on my server which seemed far lower than I remembered. Read on past the jump for a bit of analysis on how AOE looting is changing the face of the cloth markets as we know them.

One of the most commonly asked questions on my livestreams is "what professions should I take". I've given this a lot of thought and today I'll be going over my "perfect world" list of professions based on how many characters you have to work with. Read on past the jump for the list.

While working on one of my two tailors today I made a fairly startling discovery. The economics of creating Dreamcloth have completely changed. I first heard rumblings about this via @ssmith0911 and @msherretz on twitter. Basically the way I made Dreamcloth before Patch 4.3 very well may be a thing of the past.

I've been selling off my stocks of Dreamcloth as spell threads and had planned on simply making more the way I always had. I'm glad I didn't. Read on past the jump for my analysis of things every tailor should consider before making one more piece of Dreamcloth.

Today's guest post was written by Power Word: Gold reader and /r/WoWGoldMaking community member Texl. If you've reached a gold-making milestone and would like to share your experiences with the Power Word: Gold readers send us an email at [email protected].


One million gold! Six months ago the most I'd ever seen at once was about 50k, so hitting this milestone was quite a rush.

What started out as a plan to collect enough gold to buy up pieces for the then-rumored caster legendary soon became an interest in itself - I found making gold quite enjoyable, to the point where probably half of my play time was involved in gold-making pursuits. Now, I find myself out of game reading gold-making blogs and forums as much as raid strategy and class gameplay tips.

What you're all probably most interested in, though, is how I did it. I don't think I've done anything that would surprise seasoned gold-makers but after the jump you'll find my commentary on what I found effective (and not-so-effective) by profession.

This cave in Nagrand (southwest of the Halaa PVP area) has turned out to be one of the best places to farm Netherweve Cloth in Outland I've found.

More details after the jump.
