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.

In Search of Fortune: Slow and Steady

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

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

Near the end of November, 2019, it was discovered (then confirmed) that the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur would no longer be purchasable in Shadowlands outside of a rare spawn on the black market auction house. Prior to this point, I had assumed I’d eventually get the mount, as gold inflation and whatnot tends to devalue old vendor items. I wasn’t, though, passionate about the mount. Sure, it would be nice, but… 5 million gold? Then, the news that it was going… extinct. Admittedly, I still didn’t care a lot. But there was this slight… annoyance. “I had plans for that”, I thought. Sure, not important plans, but, plans. Sometime after that, I wondered “could I even get it if I wanted?”. Well, sure I could, right? Suddenly my gold-making ego was self-challenged! Can I earn 5 million gold before Shadowlands (prepatch, even, I eventually learn)?
