In Search of Fortune: Nothing New

Welcome to ‘In Search of Fortune’, a monthly series where I discuss my gold goals and in-game money making strategies.

So, I may have missed a month in there somewhere. Unfortunately, it’s because it was a slow month… months. Really, isn’t the whole Shadowlands expansion a little slow, though? For me, not terribly slow in terms of gold making, I’m still hitting almost 600k per month in profit, just, well, nothing that different from the last post. There are a couple of things, though, that I wanted to highlight. So continue reading for some interesting examples flips from my mailbox and my TSM breakdown screen for the past 3 months.

How to Complete Fragment Summon Events

Last fragment event was the first one I really noticed existing. I went for it. I failed miserably. However, I learned from it. Well, mostly I learned that I had no idea how to successfully complete one of those events, so I started doing some research. From there, I made a plan. And from that implementing that plan through this even, I discovered my limitations. This isn’t a guide for a whale or a years-in-the-game veteran. This is a guide for how to do this the first time or maybe first couple of times with 100% success. I’ll break down what stages you need to farm, how much to save up and how to prepare. TL:DR at the bottom.

Gamer Art: March 2021

Check out March’s Featured Gamer Art, a monthly column of art that I’ve found found in the past few weeks. Art can include paintings, drawings, digital art, physical crafts, cosplay and more.

So… this was kind of a weird month. Typically, as I exist online over the course of the month I save links to these pictures as a preliminary edit of this post. When I’m ready to make the post, I download the images, upload them here, add those links to these pics, etc. Well, this month, almost half of the art I had found has been removed for one reason or another. So this one is a little light, but, I guess we’ll make do. This month’s Gamer Art is mostly World of Warcraft Oriented, but we have some Pokemon art and a Resident Evil Cosplay to mix things up.

New Player Mastery Guide

So, I’ve been dabbling in Raid: Shadow Legends for a couple of months now. I’m free to play with the exception of a few dollars of google balance that was available to me because of the Google Rewards survey app. As a result, gems, energy, and silver are very limited. Early on, I made quite a few mistakes with how I chose to spend those resources. In this post, I’ll give a very simple overview of how to approach champion masteries. Should you use gems to unlock? Should you use energy on the minotaur boss? Read on to find out.

Shadowlands Patch 9.1: What We Got Right & What’s Coming Instead

So… we made some predictions about patch 9.1. While we got more right than wrong, it seems, there was a couple areas we completely missed the mark on. Read on to see what we got right, what we got wrong, what’s still unknown and our thoughts on 9.1 release date now.

Gamer Art: February 2021

Check out February’s Featured Gamer Art, a monthly column of art that I’ve found found in the past few weeks. Art can include paintings, drawings, digital art, physical crafts, cosplay and more.

This month I had enough cool cosplay I found that I was tempted to make a separate section for that alone, I didn’t, but feedback on that idea would be welcome. Also, most websites that I see featuring art and cosplay tend to have a bunch of bricks of text about each, typically I don’t care about what the author thinks or has to say about the character backgrounds and just want to see the art… but is that what everyone else would like? More to comment on, I’m sure. Finally, check the end of this for a video of a cool tattoo. It’s embedded, but doesn’t fit into my normal formatting. See ya next month.
