Last TSM Groups before Dragonflight

Dear lovely Patrons,

I hope you are as excited for Dragonflight as I am? I'm planning on taking my time through the initial phase, enjoying the art and the story and generally absorbing everything including having a play with professions!

My main focus is going to be on my NA Let's Play series, so you will be able to follow my progress there and as soon as I have some TSM groups and operations, I be certainly adding them here.

For my EU account, I have pretty much reduced mu...

Let's Play Early Access

Dear wonderful Patrons!

Exciting times are ahead with Dragonflight just around the corner! I'm excited to announce the return of the Let's Play series over on Lightbringer NA!!

Here is an early access link to the video which will go live later today once I've done the thumbnail and everything.

I'm going to use this series to go through my prep for Dragonflight, how I'm going to make my gold and what things to look out for on the way. 

Over on EU, I'm busy clearing...

Stock Reductions - Everything Must Go!

Dear lovely Patrons!

Dragonflight is getter ever closer and with Wrath Classic tempting many away, the retail scene is very sparse right now. I'm taking steps to reduce my stock and continue to dump all my commodities.

You can see what I've been doing in the chart here - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1svYRaqbwuTw6IN5ciikgCpFKFoJA-Otb6FM_...

Commodity Professions

Dear awesome Patrons!

It's been a crazy day emptying 3 guild banks of hoarded materials! 

I've been splitting my profession groups into those that are commodities and those that are regular server crafts. I'm leaving the commodities ones just on mass sell stock at any cost (except vendor sell) and the others I'm posting as usual. I'm not recrafting anything just yet.

It's temporary for now, but works while I transition into the new markets. I don't expect much profit fr...

Let the great purge begin!

Dear wonderful Patrons!

The Auction House has been crumbling to it's foundations today and markets are completely wild right now. All commodities are so much cheaper, my personal plan is to do a complete purge and reset.

I'm selling all my hoarded stuff from multiple guild banks. I can't rely on SmartAvgBuy or even DBMarket at this point, so I'm making the most of instant sales and putting all commodities on manually using the WoWUI to watch out for bait prices!!

My plan aft...

Temporary 12 Hour Posting

Dear Lovely Patrons!

With the combined AH coming this reset, auctions set to expire during reset get a dialog warning they will be cancelled early which makes it hard to post using TSM.

I've changed all my 48h and 24h auctions to 12h temporarily, so I can still post before reset using TSM and updated the master profile here.

Once the new AH goes live, I'll be rethinking commodity flipping as it's not likely to be viable for gold making with so many auctions on. 

I...

Thrall

Dear wonderful Patrons!

Thankyou for your continuing support! As a thankyou, here is a high resolution scan of my latest drawing - Thrall! I have another drawing started of Genn which I hope to share progress over on Twitter soon.

I am having a great time testing out Dragonflight Alpha, professions are looking really good at this point. In retail, I continue to sporadically post and relist my auctions and the gold is ticking through nicely. I hope it is the same for you all using ...

Sylvanas Windrunner

Dear wonderful Patrons!

I hope you are excited for Dragon Flight this year! I can't believe it's going to be this soon! As promised, here is the high resolution scan of Sylvanas that I've been drawing over the past couple of weeks...

I hope you enjoy!

Much love, 

Sam

June Master Profile

Dear Lovely Patrons!

Thankyou for another month of support! It really means the world to me and I hope what I offer in return goes some way as exchange for your hard earned money. I have an update for the Master Profile ...

Thankyou so much for your continued support! I have picked up the drawing bug again and finished off Zappy Boi! Here is a high resolution version for you to use as a background or whatever.

I hope you enjoy!

Retail Glyph Update

Dear Lovely Patrons!

Welcome to May and thankyou for your continued support and a warm welcome to new members! 

I've been busy filling out my Master Profile with all the Glyphs from Inscription! I think this is a nice diverse market with lots of potential. I've not collected them all myself yet, but have started the journey filling the gaps on Stabadan. 

I have also integrated my flipping profile for commodities into the main shopping tab, so keep an eye out if you...

More crafter's marks added

Dear wonderful Patrons,

Now that Progenitor Essentia prices have settled down, I've started making 262 gear and have updated my groups to include them all for all armour crafting professions. I still add a manual Air Sail to everything and I think it helps. I've already sold a full set of ilvl 87 speed gear. I've made a special operation for those that adds a flat 5k to the price as they are so cheap to make, but are really useful when levelling 50-60!

Other changes is to no longe...

Happy April Patrons!

Dear lovely Patrons, this is no April fools! I have an update for you on the master profile..

I've got all my armour crafters to Honored with the Enlightened finally! Not all Rank 7 slots are unlocked my end, but I've included them all in the profile. Rings still seem the strongest of what I can craft so far, although I hear Leather belts are doing well atm for Rogues!

With the Mage Tower now permanent, I've been seeing some sales in Crafted Gladiators gear, particularly leather. ...

More 9.2 Master Profile Additions

Dear lovely Patrons!

The progression of 9.2 continues at my casual pace! I had a brief stop in rep to make sure I got flying unlocked and now I have Honored on Briggit & Erfen, my Jewelcrafter & Leatherworker!!

I've updated the profile to include Rank 7s on those with just blacksmithing left. The Rank 7 rings in particular seem to be selling, they are the only ones I've sold so far without cancel scanning. The Crafter's marks gear with enhancements is still in flux until T...

Tailor at Honored!

Dear Patrons,

I was so excited at getting Honored on Samadan today I wanted to share with you a quick update to the Master profile with how I'm making the most of it.

- All Rank 7 Tailoring Legendaries are in.
- 200 & 230 Shadowlace gear is out (maybe save them for later)
- 233 & 87 Shadowlace Speed Set Groups have been created to cater for fresh 50s & 60s
- 262 Shadowlace gear is not in yet as the Prog Essentia is too expensive and I'm saving for legendaries ...

9.2 Updates

Dear Lovely Patrons!

9.2 is proving to be a lot of fun with all the new recipes and content! I hope it has been for you too? I've been slowly chipping away at Honored rep on my main 4 armour crafters. I'm not there yet, I only have limited time, so have been focusing on story, world boss and the occasional rares if I find them plus daily & world quests if I have the time.

A big improvement to getting around is making speed sets with the air-sail engineering Progenitor enhancem...

Samadan's Master Profile - February 2022

Dear wonderful Patrons,

9.2 is almost upon us and I'm frantically scrabbling to get ready with legendaries. I'm not there yet, but have nearly maxed Cloth and am working on Leather when gold allows. Good job all the other diverse bits are helping feed the gold sink that is legendaries. I hope my gamble pays off!

I've filled out my master profile to include all current legendaries and all variations of crafter's marks in preparation for the rush to gear up. As soon as I have the ne...

I've Gone on Holiday! (sneak peek)

Dear wonderful Patrons!

Here is a sneek peak of what i've been up to ...

Jahwakening has gone on holiday to Draenor! I desperately needed mats for legendaries and this was the most cost effective way to do it. 

Video incoming this weekend talking all about it :)

Much love,

Gul'Dan

Dear Lovely Patrons,

I'd like to share with you all my latest artwork - Gul'Dan! This is a high resolution scan of the original, perfect for desktop backgrounds or printing out if you like. 

Thankyou for your continued support, it means the world to me and I hope this goes some way in paying that back <3

I'm thinking of doing ebay auctions of the originals of some of my artwork, do you think that's something you'd be interested in?

Much love,

January 2022 Pastebin update

Dear wonderful Patrons!

Many thanks again for your continued support. I've been ticking away at my groups while making the decision to do more legendaries! It's expensive, and I've already spent over a million gathering materials and maxing out Jewelcrafting. 

I've updated my groups to include all Rank 1-6 Legendaries for cloth & JC, I'll update LW and Blacksmithing soon. I'm only crafting to sell Rank 4's and 6s at the moment. All the others are purely for xp and selling...

Grommash Hellscream

Dear lovely Patrons,

Another year and I am eternally thankful for all your support. I've been doing more drawing lately and wanted to share with you the full resolution scan of my Grommash Hellscream art. Feel free to use it as a desktop background or print it out if you like. 

In other WoW news, I'm taking the plunge and investing in more legendaries for 9.2. I already have a few cloth and getting there with the jewelcrafting. Next up is leather, I'll see how far I get with ...

Mage Tower is Kicking Off!

Dear lovely Patrons!

The sales from the Mage Tower are really hotting up! I've had half a million in sales the past 2 days. If you have professions that can make the Pandaria Crafted Dreadful PVP gear, then I highly encourage you to make some items to sell. For Alchemy, the BfA Flasks seem to be doing well and Jewelcrafting, the Primal Diamonds are selling. I picked those up easily enough by collecting Ancient Guo-lai keys and then opening the Caches.

I've updated my groups to inc...

Samadan's Master Profile - December 2021

Dear lovely Patrons,

Thankyou so much for bearing with me and supporting me through Patreon, it makes such a huge difference you wouldn't believe.

I have an update of my master profile for you! I've been making tweaks along the way, but the most major update is added a bunch of Crafted Dreadful variations for Blacksmithing and Leatherworking using Relic IV and V according to the Wowhead guide for the mage tower ...

Dear lovely Patrons!

You may have seen my tweet from last night sharing my finished Varian sketch. As promised, here is a full resolution scan if you want a version to print for yourselves...

I'll be doing a public giveaway (not on Patreon) of the original sketch later, so watch out for that if you're interested.

Your support is always appreciated,

Much love,

Time

Dear wonderful Patrons!

Thankyou so much for your continued support, it really does make a huge difference, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Apologies for being so quiet these past month or 2, I've been busy settling into my new job and lots of IRL family bits have been taking a lot of my attention and my WoW time has suffered as a result.

I've been chipping away at my groups in the background, I have way too many operations at the moment and my next plan is to remo...

Updated Profiles

Dear wonderful Patrons!

This is a 3 in 1 post with TSM Groups and operations for Retail and Classic!! I've updated the main Master Profile I use for Shadowlands for my gold making and also have two flipping profiles! One for Retail and one for Burning Crusade Classic!

The changelog for the Master Profile since last time is as follows...

- Increased Shadowghast Ingot Crafting quantity to 100

- Changed Flipping AvgBuy Operation to first (instead of max) for Max & Nor...

Rough Master Profile

Dear wonderful Patrons!

It's been quite the month! I realise I've not been as active on the WoW front given my distraction into Minecraft, so I thought it was about time I shared the latest iteration of my groups and operations that I've been using over the past month..

It's still pretty rough, and I've not cleaned through all the operations, so there are a lot of duplicates. I suggest making a new profile and pasting in there if you want to use it in it's current form.

I ha...

Activision / Blizzard

Dear wonderful Patrons, 

I'm sure many of you will have seen the latest news about Activision/Blizzard and I am deeply saddened by what has been going on. My thoughts go out to all those who were victims of such horrible abuse.

The gold making community has been the most wonderful and supportive community I've had the pleasure to be a part of and all your support here to me personally has been an incredible testimony to that kindness. I thank you dearly.

Most of the con...
