Finding a Niche on your Server- Puzzled Part Deux?!

Hey folks! May today bring you many a happy hotfix! I got an email that I would like to share with you, as there are some great tips for the beginner goldmaker found within. A month and a half in to the gold game, and Mike is already passing up some folks that have been in the game for some time. There are a few highlights here, and he even reminded me about a few things that have been on the

Part III- Cataclysm Rare Spawns- The Addon- NPC Scan

For part III, I am covering two things.One, it's the final part of the series, and two, this is my monthly contribution to Cold's Gold Factory.

Got Mill? Milling Search Made Easy With TSM

Ok, ok. I know some of you folks stay away from TSM like the plague. And once again, I really don't blame you. It is definitely an add-on that I love to hate. For those that don't want to mess with it to "find" mats in the AH (when making glyphs), there is an easier way...When you open up TSM from your Auction House screen, you can look to the right "window" that appears and mouse down till you

Gatherer Addon- An Oldie But A Goodie

A bit back, when we got lucky [thanks Blizz] with the Whiptail spawns going crazy, I made a post (4.0.6- Herbalism After Hotfix) on my little route that I was making a killing off of. There was a comment that asked about what addon I used to get the "timer" on the spawns. Thanks to our little "Gatherer" addon, I was able to get some extremly accurate information on the spawnrates. Upon a "

Goldmaking After Darkmoon Faire- Alto's "How To"

First off, I want to thank everyone that commented on yesterday's post. It was a very tough decision, and the winner is......Well, I can't tell you yet, I said Wednesday! I also wanted to thank Brouck for his post dedicated to me, "The Best Blog (post) Ever!". It means alot that someone cares that much to post something like that. Alright, with that outta the way, Let's rock on!With the end of

--Alto vs. TSM-- Who threw in the Towel?

I am feeling that you guys are ready for another deathmatch. This time, I am getting in the ring with TSM. This addon called me out around a week ago, and I took the challenge....Let me explain:I have been using Auctionator for basically all of my buying and selling for quite some time now. I have hit a few posts on my what's and why's of doing this, for instance my "Alto's Ritual" post where I

Alto vs. OreCrusher- "The Death Match"

Ore Crusher. It is a fairly new addon, so I figured to test it out a few days back (a blog hit on it, but I can't recall who or where I saw it- if it was you, holler in comments please so I can give you credit. *Edit- It was over at Trading With Zoxy- OreCrusher- Prospecting Addon). As I was writing this, midway through I took a break to read up on blogging, and Smudger did a post on his blog,

JMTC Carnival - How You Can Make Gold With Limited Playtime

This is my monthly post for JMTC's Blogging Carnival. If you aren't familiar, take a few and go over there to check out some of the previous month's posts. Great information there, so go read up!I feel that alot of the raiders are (for the most part) left in the dust when it comes to AH tips. So you don't have a "capped" profession. You barely have enough time to log in, hit the AH for your pots/

Having Issues With Auctionator? 2.8.8 Download Available on Curse

FYI- For the past few days, there was a message for me upon login:As with most messages that appear, I thought nothing of it. Until I logged into my AH toon, and Auctionator starting going crazy. I would toss an item up for sale, and get a completely different item on the bottom. Weird. So I decided to go to Curse to get the new download (they are safe, but you still want to have your security

WoW Podcast- Auction House Junkies- Plus Alto's AH Guide for Scribes

We have all been waiting for the Tuesday podcast by some great bloggers, Capped by Cata and Cold's Gold Factory. And it was a hit. There is something about reading about making gold, then there is hearing about it. They covered some great information there, don't hesitate to check it out: Auction House Junkies Podcast: Episode 1. I know I am already a loyal viewer of both their blogs, and now of

JMTC Carnival- What mistakes I have learned from playing the AH

First off, I would like to thank blogs like JMTC for giving me motivation for starting this one. So, with that said, lets roll.....Mistake #1- Not using an addon: Auctioneer, Auctionator, etc are instrumental in assisting your selling/buying on the AH. If you are not familiar with addons, I will not go into detail, there are too many great posts out there on how to's. Worst case, there's always
