Hey all,

As indicated in the thread I linked earlier, the scope of the work needed to fix this is pretty massive. We still don't have an ETA on a fix, but didn't assume we'd have it fixed by now either.

I don't have all of the technical details, as I am not a developer, but I'd like to at least partially put this into perspective for you. Guilds and the Auction House are tied into the very fabric of the realms you are on. Because of this, it makes it difficult to perform the level of changes we need to fix this without potentially causing realm instability. We totally understand how important guilds and the auction house are to the economy and enjoyment of the realm. If this were a simple fix, believe me when I say the devs would already have it done.

There have been changes to guilds and auction houses in the past, but this is on a whole other level. Whatever is done will take time and testing to ensure that the changes don't make gameplay/realm stability worse. I sincerely appreciate your patience throughout this. If we do get more information, we'll certainly let you in on what we know. For the time being, thanks for keeping us up to date on what you're experiencing.

The Forgotten Techniques of Kul Tiras/Zandalar items now properly restore recipes that were learned and subsequently unlearned.
Fixed a bug preventing some Draenor profession books from properly teaching all introductory recipes.

Aromatisches Fischöl/u/nikodante laments on the BfA launch on reddit

I made millions at the start of Legion. The armguards for the Obliterum quest made me quite rich. Max level blue gear generally sold well. Raw materials made me a cool million when raids launched.

In BFA, I really don't see how I am going to make that much gold from professions. I have LWing and all the gathering (skinning, herbing, mining) profs at max level. I have JC and Inscription in the high hundreds...But there is no gold.

Blue gems are selling between 300-1500g. Constantly undercut. Materials more expensive than the end product. My LWer can make blue PvP gear and blue bows, none of which seem to sell at all because they are equal to WQ rewards and there's no item level requirement for dungeons. The only way I am making small amounts of gold at the moment is with contracts. With the constant undercutting, I feel I may even be better off saving the herbs and selling them when the raid launches. Over all, I feel professions are massively underwhelming. As someone who doesn't raid and only plays WoW to level profs on my alt army, I am rapidly losing interest.

Am I missing something obvious here or are professions really that useless in BFA?

/u/LullabyGaming describes

During Legion, gold making became much much more actively pursued than ever before.

This place blew up in usercount, the /u/gumdropsEU posts on wowhead and all the folks regularly pointing people towards /r/woweconomy on the main /r/wow sub.

So, more and more people became actively interested in farming gold. I would guesstimate that BfA has 5-10x more people looking after gold than any expansion launch before. This saturates trade goods and crafting professions. On top of that, multiple professions are entirely useless currently.

WoW Economy & TSM Discord server/r/woweconomy subreddit/u/KunfusedJarrodo disagrees and is optimistic on the future of BfA gold-making

This is such a short sighted observation.

Not only are we in the first patch of a new expansion (we can plan on getting at least 3 main content patches that drastically change the game) but we haven't even gone a full week yet. The expansion dropped 5 days ago. Some people haven't even logged in yet because of work.

Things will change. I would shy away from making such a big generalist comment because you haven't been able to make 10 million gold yet.

People will stop competing in professions. The hard core raiders probably took a few days off for the launch and since there isn't a ton to do they are leveling professions and trying to make gold just like you. Once raids start they will stop and they will go back to just forking over gold to the real goblins who never stopped.

Be patient. Raids aren't even here yet and you even admitted you made tons of gold from that.

The armguards were a one off thing. Good job on jumping on it, be on the look out for the next thing

BregThey left a note on the subreddit to let the community know

Hey, all. With a new expansion coming out and the economy being turned on its head, I'm taking blood-money down since it's no longer going to be very relevant. Just posting this as a clarification for those wondering. I expect that TUJ will keep their similar page running.

Thanks to those who used the site. Hope it was useful. --sqrlp

thank youHow has the launch of BfA treated you so far? Did you have issues on launch? What have you focused on in the first few days? How much gold have you made so far, if any?The Lazy Goldmaker

Hey guys!

I just finished the new BfA version of my spreadsheet. I know a lot of you have been using my Legion spreadsheet to help make your crafting decisions.

It is currently in a 0.9 BETA version. I have grabbed the recipe data from wowhead's BfA database.

There might errors and changes since I collected the recipe data, so use it with some caution in the beginning. Since the dataset currently does not include any of the new item data there will probably be some issues with the calculations as well.

There are some features that are missing currently:

Milling rates
Prospecting rates
Rank 3 alchemy proc rates
Expulsom cost calculations

Most of these rely on data we will have to confirm after launch so I'll be adding them as soon as we get some decent samples of actual live data.

I've also added a new feature that let's you modify the price source. You can pick two price sources and choose a weighted average between them to get what you want.

The spreadsheet should be very simple to use as you only need to add your tradeskillmaster API key and it does all the heavy lifting for you. I'll be adding the rest of the functionality as soon as I can as well as write up a full guide for anyone not familiar with the spreadsheet.

If you just want to download it or get at it you can find the links and basic instructions for setting it up on my blog at: https://thelazygoldmaker.com/battle-for-azeroth-spreadsheet

Keep in mind that it will not show data until the new items start getting pricing data in TSM, which will not be instant after launch.

Good luck and happy hunting in the new expansion!

Have you grabbed the spreadsheet yet? Which profession appears to be most profitable on your server?SchimmerschuppeNebelschuppeWhat have you been farming for in BfA? Did you get any crazy titanforged loot that you sold for a million gold? What kind of quantity per hour are you getting for materials?Torack has prepared groups with and without operations for BfA items to import in TSM4 check them out here

These groups include BfA additions only. I have added Operations to all groups, but you may disagree with some assessments I did. Please do not blindly trust what I did.

I updated all Crafting groups to come with Operations. Beware that you may not agree with the assessments I made for Crafting and Auctioning. Also, it's sometimes not trivial to judge without live experience of how valuable and fluid some items will be. For Auctioning I use the custom sheymin, sheynorm, and sheymax price sources from Sheyrah's TSM groups. You can find instructions on how to add these at the bottom of this pastebin. Note that it's currently still necessary to add them manually.

I did not add Operations for Raw Materials, because I only mail them to the corresponding characters for crafting. I don't plan on selling them directly at the moment.

Aryxa has also prepared some group imports without operations for your customisation preferences in TSM4

I have noticed a few requests for BfA groups. Listed below are all of my current BoE and Trade Good groups. Each has been updated to include BfA items.

The list of currently known issues in TradeSkillMaster 4 is listed on the TSM site and is regularly updated.#tradeskillmasterWoW Economy Discord server/r/woweconomy subredditDiscord serverstreaming live on Twitch@GumdropsEU
