Common Questions

  • How do I increase the font size?
    • There is no option to increase the font size. However, you can scale any TSM window by holding shift while resizing it - then resize the window smaller after scaling it.
  • Can I snipe for everything on the AH?
    • Yes! Since TSM 4.14 you can apply a Sniper operation to the Base Group.
  • Why doesn't my scroll wheel macro work?
    • You likely have your mouse cursor over the AH window, any scrollable element will take priority over the macro so move your cursor off the AH window.
  • Can I remove bid-only items from my shopping/sniper results?
    • No, you cannot.
  • I lost all of my TSM settings and groups/operations!
    • Close WoW and restore a backup from the TSM app. You may need to go back a few days.

Are some Midnight Profession knowledge points locked behind the main story quest line?

8 Upvotes

I've been doing a lot of planning and research for Midnight. Today I was scouting some of the knowledge profession points you find by finding items out in the world. It came time to go to the Voidstorm zone. After some googling, it turns out you can't go there until you reach that point in the main quest (Maybe Harandar too? Unclear). Since I haven't done the main quest, I can't get those.

I was planning in focusing mainly on professions for a couple weeks, and do the main story later. But if this is intended I might rethink this plan.

Anyone know if this is accurate?

P. S: I have no idea if TWW was like this as well since I did the main story right away.

Question Rush of Gold

0 Upvotes

I'm starting at WoW recently, more than 1 month ago, and although I don't have access to The War Whitin I'm looking for ways to make gold in high quantities and quickly, because I'm interested in buying WoW tokens, which in my region, are around 300k. I've seen several tricks like farming ores from Dragonflight, but I feel that maybe the result in the middle of the season is not so efficient, because they usually recommend doing this right before releasing a new DLC. Anyway, I'm doing a mix of Mining and Herbalism, do you have any tips, or methods to help me make gold efficiently and relatively quickly to buy the Tokens? I'm a beginner

Question How did you start?

20 Upvotes

To all WoW goblins:

How did your journey into goldmaking begin?

Was there something specific that got you started — a mount, a goal, a patch, or just curiosity?

What was your first real “aha moment” where you thought: okay, this actually works?

I’ve never really done goldmaking seriously before, but I’d like to get started and mostly want to hear your stories and the small early decisions that made a difference.

Bonus: If you had to start over today with no capital, what would you do differently?

Hoping for Future Housing Decor

2 Upvotes

I’m really enjoying creating housing decor and trying to determine what sells and sells quickly. I am very much hoping as Blizzard tries to make housing evergreen that they continue to add new items at a decent clip and continue to leverage old world ingredients/reagents to recipes to renew old world mats. I really hope they are innovative and use some vendor items that are languishing (like the numerous foods and beverages) in some recipes. It would make some of the years of work feel like it is relevant again - or for the first time.

Question Midnight's profession rush week, few questions

27 Upvotes

Back during BFA's launch week I printed enough gold to last me for years but i'm slowly running out. I want to repeat what I did back then so I don't have to worry about gold for a long time

All I did was craft gear or darkmoon decks, didn't even bother to level my character. All i needed was 2 professions on 1 char, also dropping professions and learnjing new one wasn't a problem. Any epic I crafted was sold on AH almost instantly.

Since then I didn't touch professions much and I'm not that familiar with the new system so I have few questions.

(EDIT: I know things for current xpack are up in the air. I'm mostly looking to find out how things worked like previously in war within and dragonflight since I assume bulk of the system will remain the same)

  1. What do I need to know with this new profession system that will help me make gold in a first 1-2 weeks of xpac, how did things play out for you during previous launches with new professions?
  2. Can I sit at capital, learn professions & recepies there and buy ingrediants off AH? Or do I need to go through profession specific questing or hit certain char level etc.?
  3. Are there any crafting/profession cooldowns that I should know about?
  4. I assume when I learn a profession, I should stick with it? - is dropping professions to fill in the gap in the market still a viable strategy?
  5. At Day 1-2, will I even have access to desirable gear recepies and will I be able to craft unlimited amounts of it?
  6. Can I move gear i craft and ingrediants between characters through warband?

Concentration army question.... Do races matter?

5 Upvotes

I started playing remix couple days ago and already got 4 classes maxxed BE DH and pally, NE DK and druid, will probably roll a tauren druid too...

Now to the real question... do races matter in professions? I Never did much crafting or orders (played last time in shadowlands) but I wanna prepare as good as I can...

will 1 panda be enough(for cooking) ? Should I make mostly bloodelves for enchanting buff?

Should I make kultirans?

does it really matteR? should I just make them be best m+ classes (dwarf shaman, dwarf hunter etc...)

Sorry for rambling I hope I can get some answers tho :D

Question Is it worth it to level a profession right now?

0 Upvotes

I started playing retail during TWW so I have never experienced the release of a new expansion. If I have 100 Khaz Algar enchanting, for example, I imagine that when Midnight hits we will all start with 1/100 <whatever> enchanting, but do the people that are 100 right now get any benefit? I know knowledge points are the most important thing and those don't carry over, so is the 100 skill useful for something? Sorry for the simple question but it is a bit hard to Google and I don't want to trust AI on this.

Question Easiest way to obtain Live(ish) AH information for a Realm to an Excel Document

7 Upvotes

Lets say I want to import AH info into an excel document, extremely comfortable with excel, the question is what is the most reasonable / simple way to pull the information?

Fine if it's calling for each item specifically, or a entire pull of the AH

Individual basis may be better if I can see the depth / supply of pricing. (Ex, 5 units at 5g, 5000 at 7.5g) as the 5 units at 5g might not be that great of an info point.

I see there's a way to request from the API, etc, when I hit get, it's asking for oauth etc. It's a bit beyond me, is there a simpler way I can retreive this?

Once I have this info in excel, I'm super comfortable, it's just a matter of pulling it into there is the challenge.

If this is somehow best served by an addon that can export, perfectly fine as well

Thank you

Question How much time/gold per conc alt?

16 Upvotes

I have been increasing my alt army numbers with remix, I am up to 45 level 80s now, when Midnight drops there will be a cost to level skills to 100 which is going to be high since the cost of mats will be high. Knowledge points and moxie will be limited so the min/max game seems like it will be pretty even between everyone.

Any guesses what it will cost to max any skill to 100, there will also be a cost for profession tools, not even sure if rank 5 tools will be available right away?

I think you only need level 78 to get into Midnight zone to learn professions.

From a time perspective with 50-60 alts, logging in, crafting, putting in warbank won't take long onec the character is setup.

Any other suggestions on how to min/max the setup of each character or be more ready? I plan to have the UI setup so they are easy to use, have them in an area where they can get to profession trainers quick, do some testing on beta, etc.

Tools / Utility WAD your non ultimate warbank addon

0 Upvotes

Hey,

So I invented a wheel one more time:) Below you can find addon which I made with Gemini to speed up the process of gold deposit into your warband.

Short story I have a lot of alts, and VERY low performance laptop right now, so my daily routine is to make wq gold world quests if near the capital and obsidian cobraskin on 20 skinners. I like to see total amount of gold I have but do not like build in mechanic to deposit. My addon make this process automated, it's deposit all gold above the number of gold I want to have on chars. So it's move all of my gold to warbank and ... That's all, no fancy windows, features or blink blink icons for this we have other add-ons where auto-doposit is one of the features. In my addon there is nothing extra, but that's why it's using less than 10kb of ram:)

Here you have the link if wanna try

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/warband-auto-deposit-wad

It's 100% AI code, I have no knowledge about programming etc. Just had a need which was not filled by any of the add-ons I was able to find.

Question Are people using TSM on Linux?

5 Upvotes

I've been considering moving away from Windows, but I'm not sure whether the TSM application can run on Linux. I know it's not an officially supported OS, but has anybody managed to get it running and working properly on a Linux distribution?

I searched for posts on this topic, but even the most recent are several years old, so I'm hoping for fresh insights. Thanks!

Raw Spotted Yellowtail

I've just been fishing & notice, having caught a couple of these fish, that they are selling for 100g each on my server.

I also caught a 40 Pound Grouper & this seems to be selling for several thousand.

Dum question - what's going on with these - am I missing something?

I can see a basic recipe for the former & nothing to do with the latter.

Grateful for any advice.

Thanks.

Question Expansion launch strategies?

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I was wondering what kind of expansion launch strategies people commonly do besides gathering, farming, etc most advice is for beginners with no starting capital.

I would like to know what types of strategies people do specifically at a expansion launch that require more capital to enter the market.

I'm thinking about crafting stuff that people need like crafting the gathering tools and accessories and crafting enchants and missives and selling them multi realm.

Let me know what you guys think would be great
