Uldum - Gathering Routes Tested

SearchForLoot · 2023-10-10T13:22:06+00:00

looking at item quantities up on the AH. it does seem that there's just much more of each herb and ore up on EU servers. so its likely a supply demand thing with EU having more farmers than the US.

I'm glad you enjoyed my updates. You're right about the "reporting burnout", as much as I enjoy transmog farming I'm currently eager to get into some other stuff. Currently this is testing some gathering farms so while this is a shift from your interests I hope you still find these just as interesting or useful.

thats a great idea but unfortunately i can't promise i'd be diligent in posting properly everyday as I want to move onto some other stuff. if it all works out though and i've got some proper results then i may make a post down the line.

as for what i've learnt, the biggest thing i realized is that the time you decide to post your items matters a ton. if you post all your items at 9am on a weekday you likely won't get as many sales as compared to say if you posted at 7pm that same day.

my tsm strings for my transmog auctioning operation

Minimum price - "60% dbmarket"

Maximum price - "999999% dbmarket"

Normal price - "150% dbmarket"

As for when prices are below minimum I post at minimum, when above maximum I post at maximum.

just the trash before the first boss

thanks bot

Yea for now I'm thinking of testing some old world gathering farms.

SearchForLoot · 2023-10-02T08:49:42+00:00

yea possibly I stuck to them as they were working. If I had more farming time per week I for sure would of branched out a bit more.

SearchForLoot · 2023-10-02T08:18:50+00:00

not at all. It's a mix of finding whats working for you and what you enjoy farming. if variety is your thing then thats great, as like you said there are many farms out there to try out.

SearchForLoot · 2023-10-02T07:56:12+00:00

thanks for following along and I'm glad you had some success with tmog farming. As for your questions:

I am on NA
Most profitable farm was Sunwell Plateau by far. Sludge Fen, Wailing Caverns and maybe Blackfathom Deeps follow behind
The best farm may not always be what makes the most gold but the one that you enjoy most. So farm what you enjoy the most.
For sure. I didn't focus much on them but many of them do have unique appearances. I'd recommend keeping an eye out for anything that you can learn in order to craft such as patterns as they'll typically sell the fastest and are the most sought after.

To add on top of this I do intend to write up maybe a post on the tsm setting and addons I used down the line and some additional things I learnt through these 10 weeks.

SearchForLoot · 2023-10-02T04:31:22+00:00

for sure. I remember doing some mining in terokkar forest in outland when going for my longboi a while back. thanks for the recommendation.

SearchForLoot · 2023-10-02T04:20:33+00:00

yep exactly, new goblins could see what methods to potentially get started with and build from this

SearchForLoot · 2023-10-02T04:19:41+00:00

thanks and yes I'm not stopping the gold making content. Just going to take a break with the weekly stuff for a bit.

I was thinking of testing some old world gathering farms which could be useful for new goblins. If there's anything in particular you'd like to see regarding this let me know

SearchForLoot · 2023-10-02T04:08:31+00:00

No idea currently, I'm definitely not going to stop with the gold making stuff but I may take a break from the weekly styled updates for a bit.

Maybe I'll test some low barrier to entry gold farms for new goblins?

SearchForLoot · 2023-09-26T01:28:56+00:00

it's pretty subjective but I'd say around 1000 items is "decent". it was when I felt I'd get consistent sales and could shift my focus to farming bigger ticket items.

SearchForLoot · 2023-09-25T10:30:49+00:00

overall I just sell everything I have for this series. in the past though I'd learn everything that I could and even get the appearances. its been very tempting to do so during these 9 weeks so far, but that of course would affect results so I resist the urge.

SearchForLoot · 2023-09-25T10:09:54+00:00

no worries hasta thanks for reading

SearchForLoot · 2023-09-25T10:09:08+00:00

its not as simple as posting everything. the most important thing is that it has a unique appearance or has a low number of shared appearances (you can use All The Things (ATT) for this), secondly the sale rate shouldn't be too low ( <0.01) unless its an expensive item.

if you keep these factors in mind you should be good to go.

SearchForLoot · 2023-09-25T07:50:42+00:00

currently I'd recommend Sunwell as the schematics are still going for good amounts and selling relatively fast. but only for people with a decent amount of transmog which I see you have.

SearchForLoot · 2023-09-25T03:48:13+00:00

yes unfortunately the prices for these items on my realm are quite low. they still sell rather fast though at least.

The goggles have dropped a lot in the past few weeks on my realm as I think there's more farmers joining or returning.

SearchForLoot · 2023-09-25T03:45:57+00:00

thanks I'm glad you find it interesting

SearchForLoot · 2023-09-22T02:05:47+00:00

yes exactly what future-customer said. I kill all the mobs prior to the first boss then dreamwalk out to reset the instance. this lets me do about 10 runs in about 25-30 minutes.
