In Search of Fortune: Shadowlands (1.5 million gold in 4 weeks)

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

The beginning of an expansion in World of Warcraft is an important time to set the pace for how that expansion will go for you. You pick a main character to play, the role you’re playing, covenants (this time at least) and, in a way, your play style. Assuming you don’t have unlimited time, opportunity cost says you’re likely going to have to sacrifice one area for another. In my case, in making sure I was leveled and ready for the same content as friends, I had to forgo some of the crazy early money making tactics. The first couple of days see ridiculous prices and I could easily have made double or more what I have so far if I didn’t spend my time leveling and in dungeons. That being said, I’ve still made close to 1.5 million in total profits in under a month

In this post, I’ll break down where my 1.5 million gold profit has come from and what I’ll be doing in the near future to continue it.

Shadowlands Predictions Pt 1: The Great Vault, patch 9.1, our 2nd Legendary, and the Real Villains of SL.

This post is a content gamble. Either I provide the world a new means of bashing my stupid ideas or am proven a reliable source of speculation for future content. As the title says, in this post we’ll talk about some likely problems with the upcoming great vault (unrelated to my previous complaints about it), when I think 9.1 will release, when we’ll get a end legendary to equip and who the real villains of the expansion are.

Shadowlands Story Leveling Experience

The expansion is out and while end game tends to be the main focus of the game, leveling is still where it starts. How is the leveling experience this time around? In this post, I’ll talk about the introduction, the maw, each of the zones, and how long it took us, plus my overall opinion of it. Hint: It wasn’t terribly long, but it felt like it in some places. Also, slight spoilers in here.

Mage Main & Covenant Choice for Shadowlands

Straw Poll Results

The straw poll results are in. Looks like I’m going mage. To be fair, the decision wasn’t just made – particularly given that mage has been leading the poll essentially the whole time. It was interesting to see DK come from behind to tie for second place. Now… I was originally just planning on using this poll for main, but, given that I’m probably going to play 3-4 total characters (alt friendliness pending), AND I wanted to play one of each armor type (mostly for those sweet legendary sets), this poll sets up an ideal top 4.

I’ll likely make a post about the others later, but this one will go into, just a little bit, about my specialization and covenant choices. Information about Mage Covenant choices, specs, with some links to pertinent information and videos are below.
