Hello! Welcome to the 296th edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up!
This week we have a great tip for the new Dreamsurge events to get the most out or World Quest gold as well as another deep dive into transmog sales. There is also a major update to the WorthIt addon, a must for solo farmers out there.
