TGIF – Bastion of Twilight

TGIF – The Gold I Find, because Hells Yes I’m broke.

If there’s one thing that stays constant through the years, it’s that the toughest time to make gold is at the end of an expansion. Profession swag like gear and potions tends to go down because people either don’t play as much, or are already geared up. They may need stuff for alts, but by and large you’re not going to be raking in the cash like you were before.

Farming for gold can be a little more lucrative, depending on how and where you’re doing it. Transmog gear is always going to be worth something, and the raw mats you pick up also tend to sell. If you decide that you want to do some farming, you need to find somewhere that you can run through quickly, yet still produces drops that will make you gold on the Auction House.

Bastion of Twilight is ambitious, but it can also be quite lucrative. If this is your first time farming, or I don’t know, maybe you’ve been away from WoW for a year and forgot how your abilities work, BoT might not be the best zone to get your feet wet in. What you’ll find is that those wet feet are soaked with piss and blood. Yours.

If you have the gear for it, or just want to feel like a rock star killing green elite mobs at level 90, BoT can be a nice place to hang out.

Mobile Armory Now Free

Hey, World of Warcraft players!   You know how you’ve been chatting with your guildmates on you iPhone or Android device while cruising down the highway?  You remember thinking how amazing technology can be, letting you interact with these people who were currently logged into WoW, while you yourself were obviously NOT in-game,  all while speeding toward the intersection hoping to beat the red light?

(Editor’s Note:  Seriously, don’t do that people.  That shit is reckless and dangerous.  Plus, try explaining to the cops that you rear-ended that family of five because you were talking about what class your Panda was going to be.  Sodomy via taser is nothing to sneeze at, folks.  It does the opposite of tickle.)

Remember feeling minor regret at having to pay a couple of bucks a month for the privilege of being able to waste even more free time in WoW?

Well you can squash that minor regret like the cat you drove over while you were reposting your Peacebloom on the AH!  The Mobile AH just went FULLY FREE TO USE baby!
