Common Questions

  • How do I increase the font size?
    • There is no option to increase the font size. However, you can scale any TSM window by holding shift while resizing it - then resize the window smaller after scaling it.
  • Can I snipe for everything on the AH?
    • Yes! Since TSM 4.14 you can apply a Sniper operation to the Base Group.
  • Why doesn't my scroll wheel macro work?
    • You likely have your mouse cursor over the AH window, any scrollable element will take priority over the macro so move your cursor off the AH window.
  • Can I remove bid-only items from my shopping/sniper results?
    • No, you cannot.
  • I lost all of my TSM settings and groups/operations!
    • Close WoW and restore a backup from the TSM app. You may need to go back a few days.

Question Start of expansion learning

14 Upvotes

Im new to gold making, I was wondering at the start of an expansion if you plan to do crafting, is it better to farm mining/herb and sell them or use those to level up your professions first and then just buy the mats later to level up your proffesions?

Tools / Utility I made Weekly Goblin to track weekly gold routine, Gold WQ and concentration across my alts

0 Upvotes

Hey goblins!

I built Weekly Goblin because I wanted one place to see which alt still had weeklies to do, who had concentration available, and how much gold I was making from that routine.

It's an addon for WoW Retail. It includes:

  • Weekly quest and Special Assignment tracking per character, with completion percentages and configurable objectives.
  • Available gold WQs sorted by reward, with locations, expiry timers and map buttons.
  • Gold tracking for WQs and weekly quests, including reward caches, with manual corrections available.
  • Profession concentration across characters, with estimates for when it will refill.
  • Weekly and lifetime income totals, plus saved history.
  • Savings goals using recorded character gold and Warband bank gold, with an estimate of how many weeks remain at your current pace.

There are also entries for profession sales and material costs.

Everything runs inside WoW. No companion app or external account is needed. English and Spanish are supported. Open it with /wg or from addon panel.

Character data updates when you visit each alt; open their professions to refresh those readings.

It's still an early release, and I'd love feedback from people who manage several alts, especially on quest detection, quest/cache gold tracking and how clear the interface feels.

Discussion Returning after 6 years, what strategy would you use to start making gold?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am a returning player, who last played in the very early days of Shadowlands. I was checking out WoW Forever with a friend, and thought I'd poke my head back into retail.

After quickly realizing I've forgotten almost everything, on every character I've leveled, I've decided it might be time to start from scratch, so I'm going to re-roll alliance on a high-pop server, and I'm going to start "Fresh".

Previously, I was big into raw gold farming. I was a protection paladin, solo'ing dungeons, for gold, and was using my enchanting to create materials, and enchantments to sell on the auction house. it seems like with the stat squishes, along with where the economy is at (holy crap, what is with the economy right now!?) this might not be a viable solution.

I've heard that flipping decor for houses might be a good option, and am studying up on that, but I myself have very little knowledge of this, and was actually kinda surprised when I logged in to have a quest about getting a house (How exciting!). I will be honest though, I've never been huge on downloading mods just for flipping items on the AH, I'd rather work on professions, or do item farming routes (Maybe green transmogs are still a hit?) than sitting at the AH all day trying to make the MOST money

I did log in to my old main, and figure out his buttons and rotations and all that good stuff, and I do have a few alts left that I'm going to fool around with, but it almost feels like too much when you're jumping back in, and you've got two rows worth of buttons right off the hop to study and relearn.

So...with that all being said, how would you start farming gold again? Is there a Youtuber I should follow? Can anyone help this ol' man out as he rekindles his passion for gold farming?

Can i "reset" patron order schedule?

10 Upvotes

i leveld 26 characters to 80 and almost all of them are on a different schedule, meaning i dont have it synced so that every 4 days you get a full page of orders

if i just quit for a week, will all the characters be on the same "rotation" of patron orders ?

Discussion How Addicted Are You to Goldmaking?

23 Upvotes

I like to make little preparations for goldmaking, even when my gametime are expired. i know some will say why not resub for a better gph but atm i like to take a break.

I've literally farmed lumber on my lvl10-20 toons.i'll spend like 5-10mins perday or zone while listening to podcast.i already thinking which decos im planning to craft and sell.

on holiday events. I'll farm event currencies just to buy limited-time pets or mounts that I can sell on the Auction House later. yes, u can farm them on low lvls expired gametime account.

I'm out here preparing investments, collecting currencies, and thinking about future profits. 😂

The funny thing is, sometimes the preparation feels just as satisfying as actually making the gold.

Tell me your most weird goblin-brained goldmaking habit. I need to know I'm not the only one. 😂

Time is money, friend! 🤑

Question Struggling to find worthwhile crafts. How to approach?

12 Upvotes

I am new to gold making. I want so save up and get out of the below 100k slump I am sitting in.

I read about concentration farms everywhere. But no one explains the part where you actually find out what to craft!?

I just did 3 weapon enchants and sold them each for 605 which made my full concentration give me barely 1000g … well I assume that was kind of a waste.

Is it too late to gain anything? I could need help on HOW to get started and find worthwhile items to sell.

I am thankful for any tips and advice, both on actual professions or just how to approach this!

Your predictions on whether or not they add a Banker NPC for the new mount

27 Upvotes

I've seen this discussed in a couple places but I want to hear what you all think the over and under possibility of them adding a Bank NPC in the future, for the Sporeasaurus. I don't have a ton of liquid gold, but I dont want to miss the possibility of having Bank/Warband access on the go.

There's no need for it, as the other 2 mounts take care of everything you'd need, but I would kick myself for not buying it, and they end up adding this feature on the future. So, what do you all think, do you think they will add it?

Question Open world farming?

8 Upvotes

Hello all,

I decided to "try" to farm the gold for the new AH mount, but so far, I only have 2x90s and I do world quests with them -> the gold is not bad, but I don't remember how long it took me to get to 350k.

So, years ago, I remember that there were a lot of groups for Open World mount farming ( the BfA zones for example ), meat farm, cloth farm etc. but now, whenever I open the LFG finder, I don't see any?

Are there currently any good farming spots for cloth/mount or meat farm? Any discords that do these regularly? I miss just chilling, listening to music and farming materials.

Discussion Let's be real, what do we think about this wq alt army and is it gonna get nerfed?

0 Upvotes

Now before you attack me in anyy way, i do actually love this and this helps me play at a casual level watch something while doing some world quests for gold yes it takes effort at first because YOU NEED to have characters that can do this in the first place, but i do love it as much as i am worried that it might get nerfed by blizzard but what looked like to me blizzard kinda doubled down on this since tww or df.

So what do we think guys? are we worried about this? do you not care?

Tools / Utility Wow Legacy Ledger Update: Farming Companion Website & Addon

0 Upvotes

Hey again!

I previously shared Wow Legacy Ledger here a free addon and companion website that started because I was tracking my farming runs in spreadsheets.

I’ve kept working on it and wanted to share some of the bigger additions:

  • Earnings across characters: compare dungeon, raid and outdoor farm results, including gold per run/hour, valuable drops and character breakdowns.
  • Collection planning: browse mounts, housing decor, pets and reputations, then pin individual rewards or whole categories for your farming route.
  • Public leaderboards: browse shared dungeon and outdoor farm results for ideas on what to run. Compare raw/vendor gold and Gold + AH Estimate using DBMarket, DBRegionSaleAvg or vendor values.
  • Better farm management: favorites, archived farms and an improved character roster.
  • Addon improvements: Full, Compact and Minimal run windows, pause/resume controls, recent-drop icons and a vendor helper for junk and eligible older gear.

Leaderboard sharing is optional and covers eligible runs across your account. Your chosen public name appears; character names, realms and individual loot lists stay private.

Website: https://legacyledger.pages.dev/
Addon: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/wow-legacy-ledger

The website supports manual logging too, so you can try it without installing the addon. Battle.net sign-in is available for account sync, or you can keep a separate ledger locally in your browser.

Still looking for feedback, especially from people doing legacy gold and collection farms. Are the earnings comparisons useful? Is anything confusing or missing? There’s also a Feedback option on the site if you spot a bug.

Thanks.

Question Is the fungal strider mount actually feasibly possible for a newbie?

16 Upvotes

I'm currently playing Midnight for the first time and have just discovered the sporebearer fungal strider mount and it is EASILY my favourite mount in the game, however 7M gold is genuinely insane. I've been playing on and off since War Within and have put a good amount of time into the game but I think I've only made about 200k gold across all of my characters, if even. I've seen that the mount is only obtainable until the next expansion drops, so my question is is it actually possible for me to obtain that much gold before the next expansion, without spending hundreds on wow tokens? I'm willing to put time in and learn the best gold making strats, but I just want to know if this is an achievable goal first. Ty :)

Question Is Housing Decor worth it to craft and Sell?

3 Upvotes

I have skinnging/lwing on my main. It's 95% for crafting my own items. I've got my hands on a few decor recipes recently and curious if that is a potential income stream?

Seems like housing is a niche experience for folks so not sure if it's worth the mats. Curious about anyone's experience directly. Thanks!
