If you have any experience with programming or spreadsheets it should be fairly easy to grasp. To start understanding TSM I suggest heading to one of these video guide series, or you can just experiment with stuff if you prefer to learn on your own. Most of these are plug and play and ensures that you can get started with very little time spent. You can also find Sheyrah’s very extensive TSM setup here.

It will help you make generic rules for posting auctions and purchasing materials. Without it I would not bother with gold making at all. Tradeskillmaster is THE gold making addon. Just go ahed and make a new character if you don’t have a spare alt. Most of my bankers are level 10 as that means they can be restored. Posting all your auctions from the same character ensures you can use the bag space as effectively as possible as well as utilizing your time and mailbox to avoid hassle. Your dedicated bank alt is the hub of your gold making empire. There are some activities that are pre-requisites for effective gold making. In fact I mostly think that spending any meaningful time on the undermine journal or wowuction is fairly wasted. Gold making is something you “learn on the job”. People get way too caught up in optimizing the details before taking any action. Analysis paralysisĪnalysis paralysis is a common “affliction”. Reading this post on the woweconomy subreddit inspired me to go a bit more in depth into how I would approach goblining if I was just starting out today. I have already covered this very superficially in my post on the journey to master goblin. Getting started as a new goblin is the most intimidating thing for a lot of you guys.
