Would you consider having all character slots on a single realm?

The max you can have on a single realm is 12 currently, but thinking about it there should be no reason that they can't raise the cap. Ion will talk and see if they can just raise the cap.

/u/CarbonatedFalcon agrees and suggests raising the cap of 50 instead

This would be a nice QoL change, but I think it would be better if they'd just increase the current limit to maybe double what it currently is, as well as increase the overall cap per account because that's the bigger problem for me at this point. I even try and purge most characters I'm not using for anything, but with the handful of name placeholders and the sheer amount of characters I can't get rid of for one reason or another, 50 has become too low. Admittedly I'm more of an altoholic than most people I would guess, but still.

I don't think it would have a very significant impact on game economy -- the worst damage you could do I think would be having X many more alchemists or whatever with daily CDs, but that's a lot of effort and upkeep and if someone wants to have 50 alchemists or something, more power to them I guess.

Can we get a way to transfer War Resources from mains to alts?

That seems like it makes sense. That's something they can do.

Do you miss running missions at-scale for gold-making? If it were possible to generate gold consistently through missions but requiring 10, 20 or 50 characters, would you do it?Goblin Crash Course/u/PravusTheMage shared part two of their "So, you wanna to be a goblin" posts on reddit this weekon the original post

Hello everyone, my name is Pravus and as of this day I have a total of 140M gold earned, and an average of 5-15M auction value on my main realms. Currently, I main ~50 realms, while I have at least an auction/bid on all EU realms. The reasoning behind me making this post, is the increase of people looking forward to get into this part of the game and have basic questions that are not easy to be found in one post all together and/or can't be found at all and result into repetitive posts in this Subreddit and/or the Discord of said Subreddit. This is Part Two of my series So, you wanna be a Goblin., and things mentioned there will be avoided to be included on this part. You can check out Part One here.

"Ok, I have the gold, now what?"

Well done! You're ready to get into the most fun part of being a Goblin! First of all, what Find your Market means. The ideal scenario would be to find something that you can obtain cheap, be able to sell and be the only one selling. Sadly, this is not a dream world, so the next best scenario is to find something you can safely invest in, make profit out from it and requires as less time/effort as possible.

Flipping: The most common, and most likeable method of gold making by the most people in the community, as, if done correctly, can generate massive amount of profits, but the downside is that it can be risky, so you need to know your market, something that can be achieved by researching and studying the market in question. Items to be flipped can be anything from materials to BoEs, from Flasks to Mounts. Anything can be flipped but experience and research of the realm you're into is required to avoid losing gold.
Note: Using Search Strings will make this method effortless and more reliable to be achieved when used with The Undermine Journal by comparing TSM Data with TUJ Data

Crafting: Sadly, not much experience to input in this part, as I avoid BFA crafting since it doesn't generate as much profit as I want to make it, will as less effort as possible. I can't get my self into sittin' in front of Scrapper and going through thousands and thousands of items to make gold, but my personal opinion is irrelevant as this might be something you don't mind doing and your realm pricing is ideal to give you the motivation to go through that process. That been said, I highly recommend on researching Old Content crafting, as you may find less competition and more profits with less effort than Current Content crafting, one of my best favorite being Crafted Mounts.

Shuffle: Also an easy way to make some quick gold, but as I'm not into it I decided to mention it here and provide links to more detailed guides.

Which strategy is most profitable for you? Do you combine all three equally or focus on one method more than others? Do you prefer a different gold-making strategy like farming?Tailoring Deep DiveOur friend SamadanPlaysWoW has shared some very useful insight on his approach specifically to the Tailoring ProfessionSamadan talks though his thought processes

Hello! I'd like to share with you my thoughts on Tailoring and how it has been successful for me in BfA.. I'll caveat all of this with Servers vary and your own experience will be different. I'm on Shadowsong EU, a Medium pop server connected with Aszune.

First up, a little background and context about me... I've been a long-time player since Vanilla Beta, but took a big break between Pandaria and the start of Legion. My gold making journey started 18 months ago and has been my focus ever since! I play on average about 8-10 hours a week and stream at the same time, so my time is split between playing and talking. I usually make about 10-40k gold a day. My main character Samadan takes up 95% of my play time and he has the professions Enchanting and Tailoring with Cooking and Fishing secondaries.

I've made a Pastebin of all my Tailoring Groups and Operations - You are welcome to import it and take whatever you find useful and "tailor" it to your own needs :)

The main seller for me right now is Sinister Gear. So far I've sold Cloaks - 37, Boots - 20, Belt - 18, Pants - 16, Bracers - 14, Mittens - 13

Average sale price is 6,678g, Crafting cost around 2-3k which represents about 413k profit in the month they have been out.

I had pre-empted getting the rank 2 & 3 by collecting Marks of Honor before they came out. This was done with a mix of BGs and Arena Skirmishes along with Brawl quests whenever they came up for the extra 5 Marks. Also, thanks to CmdrBond on my stream there is a Legion Order Hall mission "a good dust up" that rewards 1 MoH as a bonus. It's worth looking out for. You don't even need to visit your Order Hall to check it using this macro ..

Expulsom
When it comes to getting Expulsom, I use the Tidespray Bracer method. I disenchant the blues and scrap the greens. I use a price string for Exulsom based on getting on average 1 Exulsom every 6.5 bracers I scrap -

(10 * avgBuy(i:152576) + 4 * VendorBuy(i:159959)) * 6.5

Sac des abysses when profitable and I have a good stock of Satin des abysses, Flags for turn-ins when they are up Bannière de combat : rapidité de ralliement and Bannière de combat : défense de phalange

Previous Expansions
Then there is a whole load of Old World stuff I have been selling or thinking about selling. I'll list them here, but I go into more detail in the video below ..

Since BfA came out, Tailoring has served me very well for making gold. Better than Enchanting as I have a healthy mix of Old World and New Expansion things that are selling consistently. Profits on Enchanting are much harder to come by.

How has Tailoring as a profession fared for you in Battle for Azeroth? Have you participated in PvP content to get all of your rank 2 and 3 recipes? How many bags have you sold?Buyer's Guide - A Discord Bot/u/UnlockedSound has shared the latest version of a Discord bot for gold-makers

/u/Heanthor and I have continued work on the Buyer's Guide discord bot! For those who didn't see our first post, Buyer's Guide is a discord bot that allows for quickly querying economic information about auctionable items and the costs of creation for craftables. We've updated the bot with new recipes and have made some changes to make sure keeps working (and working better and more accurately).

Updates:

The bot has been updated to include 8.1 recipes
addressed some inconsistencies in bg command math
Fully working with EU and US servers

Some example uses:

Look up the price of akunda's bite (!p akunda's bite)

See the margins on swamp fish 'n chips (!bg swamp fish 'n chips)

Get detailed nested recommendations for crafting captain's feasts (!bg+ bountiful capt)
We are continuing to work on expanding the bots features including a system to calculation the market value on BoP materials to help individuals determine the best way to invest these limited resources.

If you'd like to check it out, just click here to add the bot to your server and once added use !realm to set your realm and if you have any questions or comments let us know.
