Leveling ImprovementsIf you choose to level up a new Allied Race—or if you ever just want to play something new—we’re making some improvements to the leveling experience that will allow you to more fully explore the conflicts and stories in the game’s leveling zones. Building on Legion’s level-scaling, we’re expanding the level ranges that each zone in classic Azeroth (and beyond) supports. This means you’ll be able to group with a wider range of friends and allies, while also being able to enjoy your favorite zones longer. Each of these scaling zones will have a wide range of levels it can support.On an even larger scale, we also want players to have the freedom to choose between different expansions’ content as they level up. So, for example, both Outland and Northrend might scale from levels 60–80, allowing a player to level exclusively in one expansion’s content, or to bounce back and forth between the two as they prefer.We’ll also be adjusting the rewards that can be earned from quests and dungeons, so that they scale in the same manner as the zones themselves. Our goal is to create a truly flexible experience throughout the world of Azeroth so that the choice of how you experience it is yours.We want to get these improvements into your hands as soon as possible, so you’ll start to see the initial stages of these changes in just a few weeks as Patch 7.3.5 rolls out to the Public Test Realm.

Reckles aka WTBGoldWoW Q&A Panel

Q: How are loot drop rates from world mobs going to work with new level scaling bands?
A: Scaling zones is going back through 12 years of history and trying to figure that all out. Basically the philosophy is if it drops from something now, it should still drop that item in the future.

Tessuto di SetaDid you attend BlizzCon or watch with the Virtual Ticket? What did you think of the announcements? If you're not already actively playing Legion are you planning on returning for WoW Classic or Battle for Azeroth?

Blizzard

It’s been an epic few days for World of Warcraft, including the announcement of the Battle for Azeroth expansion at BlizzCon, but there’s one more announcement we didn’t get to: when you’ll be able to enter Antorus, the Burning Throne. We’ve now finalized the upcoming raid’s release schedule and are pleased to share it with you today!

Antorus, the Burning Throne Release Schedule
• November 28: Normal and Heroic difficulties
• December 5: Mythic difficulty and Raid Finder wing 1
• December 19: Raid Finder wing 2
• January 2: Raid Finder wing 3
• January 16: Raid Finder wing 4

Additionally, Legion PvP Season 5 will end and Season 6 will begin the same day that Antorus opens on Normal and Heroic difficulty (November 28).

Good luck!

"I'm buying cheap Obliterum but I don't have great expectations for the price going up. The gems have really ruined the market, and the potential ilvl of those goods is too low to be desirable. But they still sell, and there is a chance that Blizzard will make them relevant still.
Flasks and herbs seem like safe bets. Especially with bots having a hard time getting back online.
920+ ilvl 110 boes are still selling well. Fresh 110s have a hard time completing content and people are always looking to fill that one slot where they have a crappy piece of gear. On my server at least."

/u/AcuteSyphilis shares their perspective

Enchanting mats/shuffle mats.
Obliterum (through health potions)
Hexweave bags

"I've been shuffling for what has been damn near an impossible amount. There's been a massive influx of materials on (US) Illidan, and I've been shuffling ~20-50k materials/day. I have appx 3M worth of enchanting materials stockpiled. I also already have existing trade deals for when the raid drops, so i can start to sell off materials in bulk.
Sad thing is, if I didn't bother to buy up the materials (along with a few others) then we'd have experienced a total market crash on enchanting materials. Its quite miserable, actually. That being said, once the new tier is done and I've sold off my materials, I'm out of the game. Don't want to get stuck with tens of thousands of materials for an expansion that's going to end after this raid."

The Lazy Goldmakerrecent blog postEnchantingJewelcraftingCookinghttp://thelazygoldmaker.com/antorus-release-date-confirmed-time-stockHow are you preparing for the release of Antorus? Will this be your first raid tier as a gold-maker? If not, what are your expectations compared to previous raid releases?/u/notslashroar outlines some major differences in the economic side of the game

No server transfers, character boosts, tokens, battle pets, etc. Leveling is long and slow, and those all raise the barrier of entry significantly.
Fewer crafting professions (no inscription, JC) = more competition in each of the other crafting markets. No prospecting or milling for side profits either.
Loot was not shared for gathering (no multi tap nodes, no multibox gathering farming)
Zones didn't do cross-server phasing/sharding. You were stuck with the competition. So for example if you are farming and there are 5 other people farming, you are getting very little
The reduced farming productivity also means that there are just far fewer mats. That means fewer mats to buy for crafting (and to sell crafted items) and fewer mats to farm and do the same.
There was no such thing as transmog, so transmog sales aren't really a thing except on RP servers
I doubt there will be a way to get TCG stuff in the classic servers, so no TCG mount dupes or sales.
No kind of "passive income" such as garrisons/etc to add money to the market
Things like respecs, repairs, and AH posting price (for failed/canceled auctions) will be a much higher percentage of gold drained from the market than what you are used to.

Overall, there are fewer markets, less supply, more competition, everything's more tedious (like enchants), everything costs more in proportion to the value of items, and it is harder to get any kind of starting capital. It's also possible that the addon API won't support something as robust as TSM.

people have been reminiscing on what they did as a goblin in Vanilla WoW/u/Praetorox

Gosh the days of Vanilla gold making.

Rifugio dei Mordilegno rep grind. Then unlock the two agility weapon enchants = PROFITWOAHPROFIT if you had enchanting.
TWINKS!!!!! Wooooo the 10-19 Twink bracket was the real deal folks. If you can get ahold of a Shadowfang sword from Shadowfang Keep you can go ahead and retire.
The +15 strength to a weapon and the +22 intellect to a 2H weapon enchants from the Fratellanza del Torio were lucrative as well.
Disgusting Oozeling Non Combat pet. It was used to remove debuffs so it had a lot of priority for raiders.

/u/Hovamania remembers their methods

Back in Vanilla: I've never played private servers so I'm unsure if things have changed, but this is what I did.

Perla Dorata farming was a big one during the begining days.
Anything that was involved in the Lingotto d'Arcanite Process.
Selling the act of crafting a rare recipe (I used to charge Mats + 100g per Elmo Cuor di Leone, which was huge $$ back in the day)
Depending on the life cycle of the server - Anything that is used to make Raid consumables has huge potential. Herbalism and Alchemy paired together. If you're more into flipping - Buying out the materials and potions / flasks on a Monday, and relisting for a Tuesday (Reset day) can net huge profits.

Did you play Vanilla WoW? Do you plan on checking out WoW Classic when it's released? Were you a gold-maker in Vanilla, if so what did you do to make gold?check out the stream VoDbefore the beta begins later this monthWatch live video from GumdropsTSM on www.twitch.tvBlood Money Web AppSangue di SargerasSargerite Primordiale/u/cyberskunk

I saw this post requesting an update to my webapp and it didn't seem too hard to do so I've updated the blood-money webapp to support this (spelling Sargerite correctly was tricky however).
Here's an informal changelog:

Now includes best prices for primal sargerite. These are shown at the bottom of the page below the blood prices. (CSS isn't my strong point, so if someone wants to suggest a different layout I could try it)
Added a little subnote for Pozione del Potere Prolungato that it's alchemy only. Should reduce confusion for people who don't see it on the trader. Also this'll let me add more items like this if appropriate.
Icons are now retrieved from Blizzard's new media server which actually supports SSL, which should get rid of some scary browser warnings.
As requested I've updated the app to also calculate the trade-in value for Obliterum Primordiale. It also tells you the cost of the obliterum that goes into it (in blood-money I calculate all prices as the 5th percentile of buyout), though my web-design skills are still hot garbage. The good news is that I did this in such a way that it should be easy(er) to add crafting recipes to the calculations now if that ever becomes relevant.
