Samadan10.1.5 Is Upon Us! a few changes that are particularly pertinent to gold makingpatch notes this week

ITEMS AND REWARDS

CROSS-REALM TRADING

Players will now be able to trade items and gold directly to characters on other realms in their region. Previously this was limited to things like conjured items or eligible raid/dungeon loot, but all those cross-realm restrictions will now be lifted. Play with your friends and trade whatever you want to whoever you want!

Updated some legacy raids to drop bind-on-equip items more often when running them solo.

Developers' note: We found that some legacy raids had a very low BoE drop rate, so this change is to make farming those transmog items easier.

Slightly increased the frequency of all mounts that appear in the Black Market Auction House and added Battle for Azeroth dungeon and raid mounts to the list of possible auctions.

PROFESSIONS

There is now an Apprentice Crafter and Gatherer near the Crafting Orders vendors of Valdrakken. Adventurer's who have fully specialized into their professions can trade in excess profession knowledge for Artisan's Mettle.
Frozen Runes can now be found along the walls of Naxxramas for players interested in crafting legacy Frost Resist patterns.
Players who have completed the quest "The Gordok Ogre Suit" can now acquire the recipe for the Gordok Ogre Suit if their Classic Tailoring or Leatherworking skill is at least 275 by speaking with Knot Thimblejack inside of Dire Maul.
Blacksmithing

The legacy plans for Truesilver Champion, The Shatterer, and Masterwork Stormhammer can now be purchased from Ironus Coldsteel in Eon's Fringe after completing his questline.

Cooking

Roland, your befriended Recipe Rat, will now train a player's other characters the recipes for Deviously Deviled Eggs and Charitable Cheddar without needing to locate him again in Zskera Vaults or Zaralek Cavern.

Inscription

New Glyph: Glyph of the Shath'Yar – Shadow Priests can once again speak Shath'Yar while in Voidform. The Inscription recipe has a chance to drop from N'Zoth the Corruptor in Nya'lotha, the Waking City raid.

Leatherworking

The legacy patterns for Deviate Scale Cloak, Deviate Scale Gloves, and Deviate Scale Belt can now sometimes be found within Stuffed Deviate Scale Pouches which drop from Druids of the Fang inside Wailing Caverns.
The legacy patterns for Girdle of Insight, Mongoose Boots, Swift Flight Bracers, Chromatic Cloak, Hide of the Wild, and Shifting Cloak can now sometimes be found within Knot Thimblejack's Cache for players who acquire the Gordok Shackle Key within Dire Maul.

We have been developing AH trading searches throughout dragonflight and now with the announcement that marketable items can be traded across server I think these searches are going to be very useful.

For example here's a search that shows you the best dragonflight items to buy on one server to sell on another.

We also have an Ultra Fast API based sniper that can find deals to snipe across all realms mere seconds after the blizzard ah api data updates! Which will be perfect now that you can instantly move gold to whatever realm potential snipes are in!

Going further we just finished developing a whole set of pet arbitrage trading tools for more efficient trading of pets across servers. These same tools can also support all non-commodities after the patch drops!

I feel the Region Wide Undercut Check is going to be especially useful for managing many alts!

We are currently looking for some players to help me test it and get it ready for the new patch.

My current set of tools include:

An "Estimated Pet Marketshare" that lets you view all TSM sale rates in one page, to find fast selling pets to trade. We already have marketshare searches that use TSM sale data to find Dragonflight Items and Legacy Items to sell.
A "Shopping List Search" search for finding which servers have the best deals for buying pets, ordering all server listing prices and quantities of all realms together in one list by order of price.
An "Export Search" to finding the best servers to sell items on by highest ah price and highest WoW Progress population size (letting you filter out low pop realms).
An "Import Search" for finding the best items to buy on other servers and sell on your home server, for when you need to move gold back to your home server and consolidate to buy a wow token. Alternatively if you sell on every realm this shows you the best items to sell on each individual realm.
A Region Wide Undercut Check made with our own addon that can check undercuts on all alts across all realms in one page! It also lets you sort by item value if you don't want to spend much time undercutting, but still want to keep tabs on your most valuable auctions.
This one looks for the best discounts anywhere https://temp.saddlebagexchange.com/bestdeals

All tools currently support pets and dragonflight items. Legacy item support is on its way!

If you are a React JS dev and want to help us build these tools into our open source project check us out on github and reach out to us on discord, we need all the help we can get to get these ready for july 11th!

The team are looking for more Addon Lua, React js and Python devsThe Why Behind Gold MakingPenguin2gtGold Making in Hardcore?what will gold making look like in Classic Hardcore?
Just curious how you all think professions will pan out in the new hardcore update.

I feel like blacksmiths, tailors, etc will really be able to rake in some dough as the risk of dying for quests/dungeons may no longer outweigh simply paying for a decent gear bump.

This is exciting because it has potential to open a new style of economy in the game, that could be more in line with how these professions historically functioned in society.

Will there be a greater demand from players in getting early gear and potions to help them out?

How will they fund such purchases?

Will players start to funnel gold/items to a bank alt in case they die?

Will we see level 60s farming lower dungeons for gear?

How will bots/RMT be dealt with?

Professions that rely on other professions should see a healthy trade between them.

Will the Player to Player dynamic be more or less supportive of each other?

Will we see players creating "Trade Characters" that wander the lower areas selling directly to players that are struggling?

Comment by EsploratoreMore brutosaurs? How, since it's bugged and doesn't spawn on bmah since years?Comment by thorr69More brutosaurs? How, since it's bugged and doesn't spawn on bmah since years?Comment by Olympus3129Excited about being able to mail my gold cross realm sad the goblins are going to ruin the entire economy of the game not just a server :(Comment by ElunarioI expect that massive lags come back to the AH when 10.1.5 goes live, similar like on DF release. Blizzard should block AH APIs for third party addons like TSM for a week or two until the situation is stable, since they only tested these changes on a small PTR population. The massive API polls of these addons made the AH lags on DF release even worse.Comment by xXHellscreamXxAccording to comments and TSM data it seems like we’re coming up on 2 years and half of this mount not ever appearing on the BMAH.There has also never been a single documented/recorded by addons case of anyone getting the Bruto from the Unclaimed BMAH Container despite the hotfix in shadowlands that happened that we were told was to add back to BMAH rotation and to the unclaimed container droptable as well.

I can’t think of any other time in WoW where a mount purchased from a vendor was removed with the end of that current expansion.
2 million gold Bloodfang Cocoon spider mount was not removed after legion.
Transmog Yak wasn’t removed after MoP.
Repair mount wasn’t removed after WotLK

And then we have blizzard say slightly increased the frequency of all mounts that appear in the Black Market Auction House we don't know how much 1 %, 2% , 0.002% what a jokeComment by ScaryfoxIt's awesome to hear about such good changes for once!Comment by KimedThey should just make one gigantic auction house across all serversComment by ThoorinThey don't really say what that cross-realm trading thing means, but if this extends to mail, it's big. I could buy some prohibitively expensive plans elswhere! Even if it's just trading, then still, I could buy and have a trusty friend take them off me and mail or trade to my alts.

Will see, *!@#$%^&*s have screwed us on these things many times, so not getting my hopes up just yet.Comment by neopatraAt this point, after 2.5 years of Brutosaur not showing at all, despite Blizzard expressly declaring it will move to BMAH, they need to compensate the players that tried 2.5 years every night to get it, and make the chances for it very high, or just return it to vendor.

Blizzard's behavior in this matter so far was a spit in the face of the players. I hope they will really fix it at last.
