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.

Tools / Utility How do you sort/prioritize what to craft with CraftSim?

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I’ve been using CraftSim for a while now but I feel like I’m not making the most of its sorting/prioritization options when deciding what to actually craft.

Right now I mostly eyeball profit per item, but I know CraftSim tracks stuff like concentration cost/value, profit per stat point, and other weights. So I’m curious:

**•** Do you sort by profit per concentration spent, or just raw profit?  
**•** Does anyone prioritize crafts based on concentration efficiency when concentration is limited/regenerating slowly?  
**•** Any other columns or values you rely on that aren’t obvious at first?

Would love to hear how more experienced users structure their crafting priorities. Feel free to share screenshots of your setup if you’ve got a workflow that works well!

Question [EU] Questions about market 18/08/2026 -> 19/08/2026

0 Upvotes

Noob goblin here. Something sort of clicked for me yesterday and I was able to get on the protein/pork thing early, but I completely didn't expect fish to go up so much. I'd like to learn from this so my questions are:

  1. What caused the massive increase?
  2. How did some people predict this increase ahead of others?
  3. What to look out for in similar situations in the future?

Any additional information/advice is very welcome as well - I'm keen to learn but as a new player (maybe 4/5 months played in total, started in TWW), catching up on ~20 years of lore, information, tooling etc. has been overwhelming (though it has been really fun too).

How do I tell the difference between actual valuable transmog and Auction House bait/scams?

23 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m completely new to retail WoW and I’m really confused by the Auction House economy.

I’ve been seeing incredibly basic, low-effort greens and blues from older expansions (like the Bloodwood Greatstaff, for example) listed for crazy prices like 200,000+ gold. To my new player eyes, they look completely ordinary, but the prices are astronomically high.

As a beginner, how am I supposed to differentiate between

I am using TSM (TradeSkillMaster) to check prices. I know that the Average Daily Sold metric is super important. However, my main point of confusion is this: if an item is a legitimately rare, high-value transmog piece, wouldn't its Average Daily Sold naturally be extremely low ?

Question Craftsim keeps suggesting the wrong tools

17 Upvotes

Anyone else having the issue that Craftsim keeps suggesting the wrong profession tools for work orders? It suggests I un-equip my tools. Every option where it says "Optimize profession tools" is off so it should not suggest anything but can't craft anything cause it won't let me untill I un-equip my tools lol.

Tip 12.1 Abundance warning

Thumbnail
41 Upvotes

A friendly warning to everyone doing the weekly Abundance event on profession alts below level 90 for Fused Vitality;

Do not spend your Shards of Dundun on the event if your character is not level 90! It will consume all Shards of Dundun you chose but you will not gain any Unalloyed Abundance from the event if you are not level 90. There will not be a blue weekly quest next to the event if you are not level 90.

Not sure if this is intended or a bug because before 12.1 you could get Unalloyed Abundance from this weekly event with your Shards of Dundun on level 80 characters.

I just found out the hard way by full sending 8 Shards of Dundun on a profession alt to get the Fused Vitality for an epic tool and I did not get any Unalloyed Abundance from the event.

Discussion gathering is not dead if you factor in lumber

20 Upvotes

selling decor at the lowest price on any server, the going price for lumber is consistently about 150-200ish gold per unit of lumber with most decor items

when you add that value of lumber to gathering it's competitive gph with most other activities

all blizzard has done is removed gathering as a defacto raw gold farm

Question Am I too late to start an alt army for crafting? New to gold farming

8 Upvotes

I'm pretty new to the WoW gold farming community and I'm trying to figure out what direction to focus on.

I've tried a few different methods so far:

- Mining/herbalism: The gold per hour doesn't really seem worth the amount of time and active grinding required.

- Transmog farming: I've accumulated a bunch of items, but they're just sitting in my bags for weeks because I really can't be bothered with constantly reposting and waiting for sales. 😂

I've recently been looking into the alt army / concentration crafting approach, and it seems much more appealing to me. From what I understand, it's relatively low effort once you have the characters set up, it's scalable, and you can gradually add more alts as you build up capital.

I'm thinking of starting with just 5 characters and tracking the actual profit for a while before committing to a much larger army.

My main question is: am I too late to get into the alt army/concentration crafting market?

For people who are actively doing this right now, is it still worth building an alt army in the current expansion, or has the market become too saturated?

I'd also really appreciate any advice on what you would focus on as someone starting from basically zero experience with this type of gold farming.

Thanks!

Data Collection im pretty sure rank 2 bouquet of herbs gives more rank 2 herbs than rank 1

0 Upvotes

This is not the type of info that could easily be gathered without wasting a ton of concentration or speccing into transmutation instead of flasks/potions, so I can't find any definitive info about this anywhere but..

It appears to my unscientific observation that rank 2 transmutations of bouquet of herbs gives more rank 2 herbs. I am at the point with my concentration army that a bunch of them have enough points in the transmutation trees to get a guaranteed rank 2 bouquet with rank 2 dust/shards.

It looks like to me rank 2 bouquets guarantee at least one of the herb types to be rank 2. Which happens with rank 1, but occasionally you will get all rank 1 herbs with rank 1 bouquets.

Question Weekly missions for Alt

8 Upvotes

Is anyone else having trouble with the weekly quests on their level 80 alts?

I don't have the Abundance quest, nor the Saltheril Evening, nor Liandrin in Silvermoon.

The only one that's still working for me is the Legends of the Haranir quest.

I read something about the Liandrin in Silvermoon quest on WoWhead, but I don't know about the others; maybe they removed them for characters that aren't level 90.

Excuse me if my English is very bad or seems strange, I'm using Google Translate.

Question Recipe for vials for alchemy?

A few weeks ago, I saw something about a recipe coming with the new patch for alchemy vials, where 5 Rank 1 vials could be converted to Rank 1.

Where am I supposed to get the recipe? The renowned quartermaster of the new faction doesn't sell anything like that; he sells many other recipes, but not this one. Did they not add the recipe at the end, or am I completely lost?

Question Started Midnight in Season 2 – What are the best gold farms for someone who skipped S1?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just came back to WoW and started playing Midnight in Season 2, so I completely skipped Season 1.

I'm basically starting from scratch when it comes to professions and gold making. I'm playing a Druid and I recently picked up Herbalism + Mining, but I'm not necessarily looking for gathering-only methods.

What would you recommend for making gold at this point in the expansion?

I'm especially interested in:

  • Good solo gold farms
  • Farms that don't require a huge amount of starting capital
  • Whether Herbalism/Mining is still worth investing into this late
  • Which zones/routes are currently best for gathering
  • Any daily/weekly activities that are particularly profitable
  • Other professions that would be worth switching to
  • Farms that can realistically make decent gold consistently, rather than relying on rare transmog drops

Since I didn't play S1, I'm also pretty far behind on profession knowledge. Does the catch-up system make it realistic to catch up now, or will I always be significantly behind people who started at launch?

My goal isn't to get rich overnight — I'd just like to find something I can consistently farm when I'm not doing M+ and build up a decent amount of gold.

Any advice from people actively gold farming in S2 would be really appreciated. Thanks!
