This last week was a good solid week for me gold-wise. Even with a slight detour to put some time into Rift I was still able to make some good gold in WoW.

As a little atta-boy for myself I reached over 60k this week. This is the most gold I've ever had at one time and it feels good.

In this weeks recap I'm going to be talking about what worked, what didn't, what was new and what to look forward to.

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.

One of these things is not like the other.

So I got sidetracked while writing a post (which will be out sometime in the near future) by the fact that one of my toons had a rather strange number floating around in their Statistics > Character > Wealth screen. Can you pick it out? (Hint: I don't think -2014179932 copper is right.)

While at first I thought it was somewhat comical. "I earned so much gold that I broke the World of Warcraft!" (aka "Breaking WoW: Like a Boss!") It wasn't all that useful.

I knew I wasn't quite savvy enough to figure this particular problem out. What was an auctioneer to do?

The start of something good.

We are proud to introduce Rift Stalker, the newest member to the FluxBlog  Network. Rift Stalker will bring you the latest news, opinion and commentary on Rift.

Also if you are interested in the economy of Rift we plan to write extensively about the economy of Rift. We plan to bring you up to date tips, tricks and strategies for making profit in Rift.

Good day for Zephyrite.

Yesterday I wrote a rather long winded guide for using TSM to help set up gems for JC daily sales.
(I ended up topping 6k in gem sales that day as well with the lions share coming from Zephyrite.)

Today I decided to take it easy on you, our dear readers, and make this a short one.

Reader Apprentice Trader (check out their new gold blog at The Apprentice Trader) asked the following questions in a comment about yesterday's post.

Popular girl.

Today I am going to be detailing how I set up TradeSkillMaster in order to maximize the profit gained from selling gems required for the jewelcrafting daily quests.

If you are a Jewelcrafter you already know that the Jewelcrafting daily quests provide us with the chance to make huge sums of gold multiple times a week.

If you haven't been taking advantage of this opportunity then today's your day to learn so let's dig in!

Instead of the cross, the Albatross

If you've been in the gold making business for any length of time I'm sure you've encountered an 'albatross'.

From Wikipedia: "The word 'albatross' is sometimes used metaphorically to mean a psychological burden that feels like a curse. It is an allusion to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798)."

Today I'm going to talk about the things that we acquire in our gold making efforts that seem to stick around forever. No matter how hard we try they just seem to be there every time we log in mocking us.

Dirty deeds...

How many people do you think blindly follow what their auction addons tell them to put their items up for? How many players follow the price of things (like ore) closely enough to know if something will be profitable or not?

The answer to the above questions is me. I do both of those things. The question is how can we use the people's tendency to do the first to our advantage? Today I'm going to talk about a technique I call 'poisoning the well'.
