Hello! Welcome to the 348th edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up!
This week we talk about casual gold making and some easy ways to make a bit of gold on the side to pay for repairs. We also look at ways to make gold during the next Anniversary Event and take a deeper look at the profit margins of maxed out Thaumaturgy. Plus, we discuss gold deflation and the effects on the economy.
My name is Samadan and I'll be your guide through the World of Gold Making!
