How to Find Items That Are Actually Worth Selling/Crafting | Shadowlands | WoW Gold Making Guide

[@aDellara]

Dont really think that I understood all the information you gave, but was so amazed by your voice, it was so nice to listen, thank you

[@Radcliff-1026]

Very good information that i needed and will put to use thank you. I would really love to see a video like this on old world stuff and your view points on that. I really struggle with trying to find that balance in what will sell and what is profitable in stuff like alchemy, jewelcrafting, etc when it comes to old world stuff.

[@psykotedy4590]

These are metrics people should absolutely be looking at! I have stacks of potions and food that I crafted last year that still haven't moved (they'll be vendored sometime this week), and while I've never been as consciously analytical about my crafting GPH, I have removed items simply because I haven't had time to craft them and see the profit number barely move. Something else folks should take into consideration is tethering their selling prices to the region market average. I have had to go through multiple operations and factor in the region market average because there's no competition on my AH, and the the min/normal/max prices start to tick up because I'm controlling the market value. This might be only a low pop realm problem, but I could see it maybe being good for people to be aware of. Finally, the edit was good imo. Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought you spliced things together for any reason other than necessity to keep the flow going.

[@Penguinr2gt]

Thanks so much Psyko! The region avg is definitely a great tip, I see the same issue on my medium pop in the old world markets. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and I’m glad the video was enjoyable!

[@Paweł_Szałek]

The issue that you have mentioned is important especially in case of less popular products. Even if there is competition, often there is only one ridiculously overpriced auction

[@Kuuzana]

thanks for the video! really helpfull

[@cameroncushman8314]

Penguin! A great follow up to this is to show the ways to go about utilizing TSM to purchase the items needed to have all the materials to craft all these items in your queue ( As show in the video.) Is there a way to go about mass purchasing all the items needed at the cheapest prices to craft all of these items? Also, does this crafting queue remain if you switch characters that have the other professions needed?

[@Penguinr2gt]

Hey yea! I linked a TSM tutorial that focuses on exactly how to use the restock system (and will answer those questions for you) in the description! Feel free to check that out

[@pumatrap416]

Yes the queue is for all characters being tracked by TSM. Also, the crafter selected on the gathering tab will be the one used to populate the task list if you use that; took me a while to figure that out when I first started using TSM. Keep that in mind if you have more than 1 crafter with the same profession, because it seems to want to split the load between them if you don't deselect that profession for all but the crafter you want to actually use

[@cameroncushman8314]

@@Penguinr2gt Thank you! I have since figured out how to do this and utilize it properly!

[@BeethoD]

I start leveling tailoring and leather working, I struggle a bit getting into the old content to find the trainers and I'm only level 15 😋 but crafting items with good sell rate I'm already seeing a small return of my investment.

[@Penguinr2gt]

Level 15 is definitely rough, once you get higher level you will be able to make some gold alot easier

[@BeethoD]

@@Penguinr2gt I know, in September I have my second half of my vacation, and I have many many characters to level up at least to level 50.

[@opmami]

Hello penguin, great video! Im into crafted transmog and lot of items dont show sale rate, does it mean that they dont sell or just not enough data?

[@Penguinr2gt]

Lots of items have lost their sale rate due to the AH merge and data being messed up. It should recover for later, but in general no Sale Rate just means that it hasn’t been seen/sold in the past 2 weeks. So could be a great item just not crafted a ton or it could be a bad one

[@kaizengaming0313]

Penguin, I almost have my 2nd and 3rd characters 60. Once I do would it be worth funneling most of my gold to them to max their professions (thus making more income?) Or should I continue stockpiling gold through gathering (my only 60 has mining/herb)?

[@Penguinr2gt]

Grab yourself more professions and work on crafting some items. The more sources of income, the faster you’ll gain gold

[@drdirr]

Wouldn’t you be able to make a crafting operation string that takes the sale rate and profit into account such that you don’t have to manually always do this process? I’m no coder but wouldn’t it be possible with a logic function? If sale rate is lower than 0.10 and or profit lower than 20g per potion don’t restock or something like that?!

[@Penguinr2gt]

Yep you are exactly right! I cover this exact thing in my TSM logic Function tutorial if you are interested. This video is more to understand the reasoning behind doing something like that/people who don’t use TSM

[@drdirr]

@@Penguinr2gt yeah I just finished watching it :D thank you! I’m tinkering on a nested logic function to “automate” going through what farmed xmog is worth posting for me and what crafted I wish to restock based on dbminbuyout and dbsalerate - is that something you use yourself?

[@Penguinr2gt]

@@drdirr Yea you definitely can! I personally would not use dbminbuyout, I would use dbmarket or a mix of dbmarket/dbregionmarketavg for Farmed Tmog related pricing

[@drdirr]

@@Penguinr2gt yeah your probably right, I’ve been hearing that a lot of places :) I guess it will make more sense when I get a bit more used to the semantics and see it in practice :)

[@Penguinr2gt]

In short, dbminbuyout is unstable and NOT the current price on the AH (which many people who start using TSM think). It was the cheapest price on the AH whenever TSM scanned, that price could be 30 minutes to 12 hrs old depending on last scan. Dbmarket is the avg 14 day price (weighed so yesterdays price counts for more than the price 13 days ago) so it’s a lot more stable

[@Miridafeo]

I did this a few times using the restock que. Still have to go thru when I use it as it will list things that are not profitable. I'm guessing at the time it was but by time I get everything to craft sometimes they are no longer profitable.

[@Penguinr2gt]

By Default, TSM will use the dbminbuyout value of the Crafted item to help determine profit, if that number is really inflated and eventually falls back down to normal, it can cause you to have items crafted that you really shouldnt have

[@SilentKME]

When I import your free profile onto new characters I get a ton of AH errors due to the "crafting" part of the operation. How can I fix this on characters that aren't able to craft those items so I can post them on the AH?

[@Penguinr2gt]

If you are in the discord there is a FAQ that has a list of possibilities, most of the time its just that you need to remind TSM that you can craft them by opening up your TSM profession menus again after importing the profile.

[@SilentKME]

@@Penguinr2gt thanks!!

[@GeneralofGodsEarthlyArmy]

I watched your beginners guide to TSM yesterday on my daily commute (by bus I wasn’t driving😉). Gotta go through it again while having it open. Very helpful. This video too. Thanx for your willingness to share and teach.

[@Penguinr2gt]

Thanks Ian! Stay safe haha

[@Toffetoffe85]

So hard to sell stuff i dont know if ppl docent know how the new AH works or just bots thats keeps undercutting. But Nice video

[@Penguinr2gt]

Thanks Toff, and yes, definitely in the SL markets on the higher pop servers, you really need to be cancel scanning to increase your overall daily sales

Each time i see Longboi i see my personal failure. Im so mad at my self that i dont have it. And im also mad at blizzard that they made it BMAH only.
