In this video I go over how to use the (Beta) TradeSkillMaster Web APIs (Stormspire post explaining the feature) to download a .csv of my realm auction house pricing data and build a Google Drive Sheets spreadsheet that allows me to access and manipulate that data to do things like:

• Quickly show prices for multiple items on the AH in one look.
• Quickly show prices for any list of item names or item IDs.
• Be able to do things like calculate material costs for items.
• See which crafted items are selling for the most and the cost per mat etc.

We're happy to say that Grouper has been updated to work with links from the newly relaunched Undermine Journal!

Grouper is the fastest way to build TSM-importable shopping lists from places like the Undermine Journal Deals, Unusuals, and Wowuction Bargain Hunter pages.

In addition it's layout had been made responsive so it will look and work better at various screen sizes.

As always you can find Grouper by using the "Grouper" link in the top menu here at Power Word: Gold.

If you've never use Grouper before check out our Guide To Grouper and our post Using TradeSkillMaster and WoWuction To Quickly Find Bargains.

Now get our there and snag those deals before someone else does!

If you're like me and buying lots of items from your Garrison Trading Post vendor you might have noticed it is very annoying to have to click each and confirm buying each 5 stack or ore (for example).

I decided to use good old /framestack (or /fstack) command to see if I could build a macro that would click all those buttons for me…and it worked! Head past the jump for the macros and how I made them.

After tweeting that I was looking at the new TradeSkillMaster Application beta I was asked by a reader to post up some screenshots. Today I'll be giving you a brief overview of the current beta release of the new TradeSkillMaster Application.

The new application has some really neat tricks up its sleeve as well as a whole new backend that is quite exciting. This is a large departure from the previous application and puts it much more on par with services like The Undermine Journal and WoWuction. Read on for more.

A livestream viewer saw me using the bag to bank swap macros while doing my glyph selling routine. I thought I'd post them here so everyone can get the use.

Thanks to Faid of ClockworkRiot for sharing these macros with me. Eseven also pointed me to this post on The Consortium that had similar macros. Head past the jump for the macros.

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.

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.

If you're like me you love reddit but it can be hard to stay up to date on all your subreddits. In order to help myself stay up do date on the /r/GoldMakingDiscussion subreddit I decided to make an RSS feed for it.

This allowed me to not only add it to my RSS reader (Feedly) but also the the Power Word: Gold blogroll (in the right sidebar) and build an IFTTT recipe to email myself when a new item is posted to /r/GoldMakingDiscussion.

Head past the jump for two RSS feeds that will allow you to subscribe to get updated on new posts to /r/GoldMakingDiscussion.

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.

TradeSkillMaster Custom Pricing Sources can be a bit complicated so today I thought I would share a few of my favorites as well as explain them thoroughly.

Head past the jump for explanations of some of our most-used pricing sources.

Image Source: Warcraft Looks

This is a list containing all the items that were posted in Shannon's Transmog Shopping List's For TSM post. Thanks to Shannon, Faid and Keelhaul for helping create the original lists.

I added all the groups from Shannon's into one giant group as well as removing some characters that were no longer valid to import into TRadeSkillMaster 2.0 ("s1@" and "$@" aren't needed).

Importable list past the jump.

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.

Sometimes it's the small things that make you the most happy. Such is the case with an addon called iSold. I've been using it for over a year now and it never fails to being a smile to my face.

What Does It Do?

iSold does one simple thing. It plays a classic cash register "cha-ching" sound effect whenever you get a item sale notice in your chat box.

No matter how many times I've heard this effect and check to see what has sold it never gets old.

Why Should I Download It?

Besides the small dopamine release of getting a sale it can also help you know when you've made a sale so you can immediately restock the sold item.

Where Do You Get It?

iSold can be downloaded from the iSold page on Curse.

What happens when two gold-makers spend entirely too much time (and have entirely too much fun) playing around with gold-making spreadsheets?

In this impromptu livestream Erogroth and I go over his Calculating Enchanting Material Costs & The Enchantment Shuffle as well as look at the raw spreadsheet data that can be dowloaded from Wowuction.com (under Resources>Data Export>Data Export for Manual Use). We also dream up ways that this data could be manipulated for profit.

Watch WoW Gold-Making! Jim and Erogroth's Spreadsheet Madness on YouTube or head past the jump for the embedded version.

We're proud to announce that Power Word: Gold is the new home of the SLAGIT: The TSM Shopping List & Auction Group Import Tool.

SLAGIT was created by our longtime livestream viewer Rootfix and can be found at the "SLAGIT" link at the top of Power Word: Gold. Read on for our guide on how to use SLAGIT to speed up your TSM group and shopping list creation.

As we mentioned on The Power Word: Gold Podcast Episode 059 we've been exported data from the WoWuction.com Bargain Hunter Reports and importing it into temporary TradeSkillMaster shopping lists to quickly search for bargains.

Read past the jump for the complete step-by-step tutorial on how you can do this yourself.

In this quick video we show how to use a spreadsheet and The Undermine Journal data to calculate the median and average prices for completed items on the Black Market Auction House.

This can be helpful if you are thinking about bidding on a BMAH item but want to be careful not to over pay and not under pay. I also show how to find out if it has sold on your AH recently and for how much.
