Welcome back to the transmog gold farming series! This week has been a series of wins, with multiple significant sales accumulating to quite a decent sum. Just a week ago, I achieved my biggest week with a total of 222,312g made. Yet, with a bit of luck, I’ve somehow beat that record in this following week and have officially have crossed the 1 million total gold mark.

What I Farmed This Week
This week I farmed the following:
- Sunwell Plateau for 50 runs in 2 hours 15 minutes
- Sludge Fen for 1 hour 0 minutes
- Deadmines for 5 runs in 19 minutes
- Gnomeregan for 15 runs in 1 hour 20 minutes
Total time transmog gold farming this week = 4 hours 54 minutes
As you’ll see from my sales last week and this week, the schematics that drop here in Sunwell Plateau have been selling like hotcakes on my realm. So I was restocking them as long as they were selling.
This is probably due to the new profession achievements that were introduced in 10.1.7, so if you’re reading this early on I’d highly recommend farming here. Just search up “Sunwell Plateau Trash Farm” and follow the routes, don’t kill the bosses though since it is a raid.
I came back to Sludge Fen this week to restock on some items that have sold. Great fast selling gear like the barbaric, ceremonial, bloodspattered and war torn can drop here so whenever I’m low on those I just drop by here.
With the introduction of previously removed items in 10.1.7 I decided to check out Deadmines this week to farm some of these items such as the Defias Rapier and Metalworking Gloves.
However I quickly found that the items were way too common and after only 5 runs and had 2 Defias Rapiers and a bunch of other items. Due to this I decided the removed items from Deadmines were too common to be worth anything and didn’t farm further.
Despite this there were some items that I picked up that were definitely good additions to my auction house so I may come back to pick those up later on.
A dungeon that I’ve not farmed so far in this series. I decided to stop by here this week to begin learning the route and accessing a new loot pool to expand my transmog stock. There are some super items like the Hotshot Pilot Gloves that can drop here so it’ll be a good addition to the farming list.

Gold Earned
This week I made a total of 359,331g from transmog gold farming and have officially passed the 1 million total gold mark here is the breakdown:
- ~344,638g from transmog sales in 45 items
- ~1203g from trade goods
- 5095g from raw gold + vendored gold
So a whopping 359,331g in one week! That smashes my previous best week (last week) by 137,019g. To be honest as I was reaching the end of the week I was willing those sales through so that I could pass the 1 million gold mark and luckily I made it past by about 8000g.
Transmog Sales Breakdown
Here is the transmog sales breakdown for this week:
| Price Range | Items Sold | Gold Made |
| 0g-500g | 8 | ~2,125g |
| 500g-1000g | 5 | ~1,919g |
| 1000g-10,000g | 20 | ~40,341g |
| 10,000g-100,000g | 11 | ~299,705g |
| 100,000g-Max Gold | 0 | 0 |
So clearly a week made up of high ticket sales with the 10,000g-100,000g bracket pulling a total of 299,705g in 11 items. That’s an average of 27,245g made per item sold in this price range this week.

The biggest sale this week was for the “Schematic: Hyper-Magnified Moon Specs” for 76,421g from Sunwell which is now the biggest item sold so far in this series. The previous biggest item being the “Caniki’s Cane of Command” from Iron Docks for 74,966g in week 3.
So another week with Sunwell schematics making up the bulk of the sales. If we look past these sales however, some rather interesting sales were made this week. The Doomdorged Straightedge which dropped for me in week 3 sold. Back then its market value was a crazy 85,000g so it has dropped quite a bit since then.
Some island expedition gear sold this week with 2 of my Dragonrider’s Harness from last week selling and a Spiritbough Belt from week 5. The Dragonrider’s gear dropped in market value from last week but interestingly the Spiritbough belt actually rose in value since week 5.
Next Weeks Goals
Given that the Sunwell schematics are still selling I’ll continue restocking them until the sales slow down. I’m also looking to explore other farms next week so maybe I’ll so some Shadowfang Keep and some more Gnomeregan, which I did a bit of this week.
Wrap Up
To end this week I have a total of 1062 transmog items up on the auction house with a market value of ~14.7 million gold.
| Price Range | Total Items |
| 0g-500g | 306 |
| 500g-1000g | 207 |
| 1000g-10,000g | 461 |
| 10,000g-100,000g | 68 |
| 100,000g-Max Gold | 19 |
Gold Per Hour Calculations
| Criteria | Total Time | Gold Made | Gold Per Hour (GPH) |
| Total time farmed this week | 4 hours 54 minutes | 359,331g | ~73,332g |
| Total time farmed this week + total posting time* | 6 hours 24 minutes | 359,331g | ~56,145g |
| Total time farmed this series | 50 hours 17 minutes | 1,008,636g | ~20,060g |
Another great week has further boosted the GPH of the entire series with it now crossing the 20,000g mark. This will likely continue to change in the following weeks but overall for transmog gold farming I peronally think that’s starting to look decent.
Since I’ve ended the week with essentially 1 million gold, it’s rather interesting to see that it took about 50 hours over the course of 7 weeks to hit this milestone. A large bulk of that gold being made over the last few weeks as sales ramped up.
That’s it for this week thanks again for stopping by. As always if you have any questions or recommendations please feel free to leave a comment below. If you are also transmog gold farming I hope your sales are going well, see you next week!
