Uncommon Ilvl 232 BoEs:
Today’s blog post will cover the Uncommon Ilvl 232 BoE market. These armor pieces are for level 60 characters and can significantly increase a player’s stats/tertiary stats.
Shadowlands
Shadowlands Crafter’s Mark IV Gear
Shadowlands Crafter’s Mark IV Gear:
Today I want to enlighten (pun intended) you on the profitability of crafting and selling the Shadowlands Crafter’s Mark IV gear in Dragonflight. For those unsure, these are the ilvl 233 armor/jewelry pieces from Shadowlands professions.
Importantly, the Crafter’s Mark IV recipe is locked behind prerequisites; if you haven’t done them already, they are well worth the effort, even today!

Shadowlands Legendary Transmog
Shadowlands Legendary Transmog:
I can confirm this evening that Blizzard has made it possible to craft /purchase Shadowlands Legendary Transmog and collect its appearance. Although it wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes, it is available on the PTR (Public Test Realm).
Flawless Battle-Stone
Flawless Battle-Stone:
If you’re an avid Battle Pet player within World of Warcraft, you’ll be familiar with the Flawless Battle-Stone. Due to these stones being Bind on Equip, they’ve proven to be a valuable commodity to flip at the Auction House. I’ve recently shown my readers that you can make substantial profit margins from flipping Flawless Battle-Stones.

The Winds of Wisdom:
Blizzard has just released news that they’ve reintroduced the leveling buff, Winds of Wisdom. If you recall a blog post I created in March 2020, you’d know how significant this buff was, as it applied a 100% increase to experience gains. Sadly, this time around, the buff isn’t as significant.
Shadowlands Patch 9.2.5 Release Date
Shadowlands Patch 9.2.5 Release Date!
The Shadowlands patch 9.2.5 release date will be on May 31st for North American players, and the day after, June 1st for European players. There isn’t much content in this patch, hence the prompt release.
Gold-Making in Patch 9.2
Patch 9.2:
For our friends across the pond, it would appear that patch 9.2 has successfully been completed ahead of schedule; the long wait for new content is finally over!
Players within the E.U region will have a slightly longer wait until tomorrow (23.02.22), but I’m sure the wait will be worth it, especially if you plan to play!
For those of you participating, Zereth Mortis awaits you and a lot of new content to keep you occupied. As with every patch, there are a lot of new gold-making opportunities, so don’t miss out – unless you’re me!
What To Do?
If you’re somewhat unsure what all the fuss is about, maybe you’re unsure what to do, or you need a helping hand getting accustomed to life in Zereth Mortis, please do consider checking out Wowhead’s guide.
Patch 9.2: Zereth Mortis Zones Guides.
Gold-Making in Patch 9.2?
Sadly, time will prevent me from participating in much (if not any) of the new patch. I can’t commit any extra time that I didn’t have to begin with, meaning my opportunities to delve into the new markets is non-existent.
Dealing with new commodities and markets requires time and effort, especially in busy realms where undercutting is prevalent. Realistically, I know I can’t compete, so I manage my time efficiently, concentrating on Old World markets instead.
Today (22.02.22), my Old World markets have seen me hit a new high of 118,268,854 gold – so who needs new gold-making content anyway?! 😂
Recommendations:
As a helping hand, I have some excellent recommendations for you if you require some 9.2 gold-making guides. These guys made an absolute killing throughout Shadowlands, and I’m sure patch 9.2 will be no different.
I’ve added helpful links below to their social media/streaming platforms so be sure to check them out!
Hikons:
With almost 700 million gold at his disposal, Hikons went from strength to strength during Shadowlands. Much of his gold was made via Darkmoon Card/Trinkets and playing on multiple realms crafting and selling legendaries.
Be sure to check out Hikons on Twitch as he goes through his routines.
WTBGold:
If you’re already following @ryanaeckles on Twitter, you’ll know he’s invested a lot of time on the PTR getting acquainted with life on Zereth Mortis. You can find most of his guides on his YouTube channel.
TheLazyGoldmaker:
Again, there’s not much to add if you’re already aware of TheLazyGoldmaker. He made an absolute mint, crafting and selling legendaries, and collected some excellent milling data ahead of the release of Shadowlands for those looking to deal in Darkmoon Cards.
Manthieus:
Someone I noticed at the beginning of Shadowlands but has proven to be an excellent gold-maker. Again, another one that did exceptionally well within the legendary market.
He has some in-depth guides on YouTube; give them a watch!
Samadan:
He shares his gold-making journey and offers some helpful guides regarding the TSMaddon. Samadan also covers the gold-making catchup on Wowhead; this is important, as this will highlight many of the new gold-making opportunities that will become prevalent in the coming weeks.
Updates:
I’ll update any new information here, be sure to check back!

Shadowlands Patch 9.2 – Eternity’s End
Shadowlands Patch 9.2 – Eternity’s End
This evening, we got our first look at patch 9.2 with the developer preview: Shadowlands Patch 9.2 – Eternity’s End. We’re traveling to a new zone: Zereth Mortis, and it looks great!
Also teased is, Sepulcher of the First Ones – the new raid, the long-awaited return of Tier Sets, and updates to professions, which is excellent news for gold makers! Blizzard blue post below with further details.
Developer Preview – Eternity’s End
I’ve added the video via World of Warcraft’s Youtube channel. Be sure to offer any feedback on their channel.
Remember to take advantage of the new World of Warcraft Community Council, where you can offer feedback and potential improvements to the game’s development team.
Datamining via Wowhead:
For more developments on patch 9.2, keep your eyes peeled over at Wowhead, where they’ll datamine the new content from the PTR. Be prepared for plenty of spoilers!
New: Character Boost to Level 60!
Also announced today (under the radar), is the ability to purchase a character boost, to boost a character to level 60 (was level 50). This removes the need to level within Shadowlands!
If you’ve held off to purchase this character service (waiting for this change), now is the best time to do it, and get a quick foothold in Shadowlands! Remember to take advantage of Wowhead’s guide on progressing quickly with an alt in Shadowlands 9.1.5!
What did you think the developer preview? Are you Excited about Shadowlands – Eternity’s End? What are you looking forward to the most?
World Event – Brewfest
World Event: Brewfest
Monday, 20th September (yesterday) saw the long-awaited return of the world event: Brewfest. Participating in the activities available to us during this event gives us many opportunities to make a substantial amount of gold.
Solo Island Expeditions in Patch 9.1.5
Solo Queue for Island Expeditions in 9.1.5
Finally, we’ve confirmation that as of patch 9.1.5, it will be possible to queue solo into Island Expeditions. Currently, as of today, you’d need to queue for Island Expeditions with two other players (a team of three) and queue up from the Expedition Table.
When patch 9.1.5 releases, those struggling to create groups, or finding players wanting to farm Island Expedition Transmog efficiently, can do so alone.
Blizzard’s blue post, confirming the addition in patch 9.1.5!
When Will Patch 9.1.5 Release:
There has been no date set for the release, but many people online feel it could be around October. So, maybe expect this to release in or around Hallow’s End, the World Event that starts on the 18th of October.
There’s no addition of the 9.1.5 patch on the Public Test Realm just yet, but keep your eyes peeled!
The Affect on GoldMakers:
With the announcement of players able to queue solo into Island Expeditions, be prepared for an influx of Transmog to reach your Auction House after the new patch hits.
Currently, demand for Island Expedition Transmog is pretty high, and with the low supply of Transmog on many realms, prices are obscene; this is excellent for Goblins.
Soon, the supply will increase with the new changes, forcing Goblins to reduce their valuations to guarantee that sale; this will ultimately benefit the customer.
Be sure to adjust promptly, to stay ahead of your competitors!
What Should I Do With My Stock:
If you’re like me and have set up an inventory full of Island Expedition Transmog to sell, and the news today concerns you, start offloading excess items in preparation for the new patch.
When the new patch comes and the Transmog supply increases, you could be stuck with stock; you can’t sell.
Before patch 9.1, I did advise Goblins to consider the size of their inventory, with the possibility of the solo queue coming in 9.1. As we know, the solo queue didn’t happen in patch 9.1, but, with any luck, some of you may have reduced your stock already, as I did!
High-Ticket Items:
If you’re somewhat unsure about reducing your inventory and confident that high-ticket items will hold their value, by all means, hold out.
I’ll add a list of items below that I regard as high-ticket Transmog.
- Dragonriders Harness
- Duskhaven Jacket
- Duskhaven Top Hat
- Firekin Amice
- Firekin Robes
- Helm of the Tranquil Paths
- Leggings of the Tranquil Paths
- Plundered Barbed-Edge Dagger
- Plundered Biting Shot Longbow
- Plundered Blade of the Northern Kings
- Plundered Flamecaster Stave
- Razorfin Breastplate
- Razorfin Helm
- Razorfin Shoulderguards
- Stinkrot Smasher
- Vest of the Tranquil Paths
- Wild Marauder Chainmail
- Wild Marauder Helm
- Wild Marauder Pauldrons
Please be aware that this list is subjective, and you may consider items on this list differently. Adjust accordingly and follow your own instincts.
Things to Consider:
It’s worth noting at this point, that although the solo queue will be available in patch 9.1.5, there’s no other news regarding Island Expeditions at this point. Some things worth noting are Drop Rates, Seafarer’s Dubloons, and Salvage Crates. If there are adjustments to these, Transmog may be difficult to obtain again.
Drop Rates:
At the end of your Island Expedition, you will receive loot based on your performance and objectives completed. There’s no information yet, to suggest whether Blizzard will adjust these drop rates on loot obtained. Sometimes, Blizzard will make adjustments on loot, when content is made easier to complete.
Seafarer’s Dubloons:
Seafarer’s Dubloons were added in Island Expeditions to offer players an alternative option to acquire loot, which they were unsuccessful to obtain at the end of their Island Expedition runs. Blizzard could adjust the amount of Dubloons obtained and make it slower to purchase Salvage Crates, etc.
Salvage Crates:
Based on the maps available on that given week, players could spend Dubloons on Salvage Crates. The Salvage Crates would dictate specific loot within. Again, if Blizzard were to adjust the loot tables, drop chance, or the amount of Dubloons needed, this could have a negative effect on Transmog acquired.
An Excellent Guide:
If you’d like a guide, showing the rewards obtained from completing Island Expeditions, then please consider checking this one out from Sanghelios. They give a lot of information on the Salvage Crates and maps needed to obtain specific items. Check it out, and be sure to offer any feedback.
Conclusion:
Many of the comment sections on Wowhead and Facebook already show how happy players are with this news. With players able to efficiently solo queue to farm Island Expeditions, Transmog, which had dwindled in supply, will drastically increase come patch 9.1.5!
It’s imperative that if you don’t want to be lumbered with an inventory full of Island Expedition Transmog, that you consider offloading now. I’ve been doing so since patch 9.1, since Blizzard’s first hint at a solo queue change!
Be sure to check your TSM groups and your operations. In the coming weeks, you will notice changes in the prices as players look to offload their stock!
Please also monitor the potential of any changes mentioned in the Things to Consider segment of this blog. If there are any changes here that could affect drop rates etc, this could have an effect on future Transmog obtained.
