214k World of Warcraft Gold Limit
Here my jaw still stuck in the jaw dropped position of someone being able to afford the Ashes of Alar mount for 190k gold. You can only image my surprise now to find out that World of Warcraft does indeed have a limit.

8 Free Tools to Help a WoW Gatherer Make Gold
Farming gold in World of Warcraft is something I hate doing. I prefer making gold via Auction House as it takes less time. However some people who are in a rush to get their epic flying mounts, and will do both methods to speed things up a bit.
I used to raid quite often, however due to my real life work schedule I would always have to go on a waiting list to get into any raids. While I waited I was usually outside gathering herbs or mining stuff close by to at least think that I’m doing something productive. I found a few add ons to the World of Warcraft game that made gathering a little easier for me.

Would You Buy a $900 Mount For World of Warcraft?
My answer would be a quick ‘HELL NO’, but some people are willing to dish out that much or more. The above picture is the Ashes of Alar mount, which is an extremely rare drop. Teza from World of Raids reported that this mount went for an astonishing 190,000 gold on a Chinese server. No not a typo that’s 190,000 gold, enough to buy a guild of 30 players their Epic mount training costs. That’s not a small amount of chump change. Remember I was surprised when someone said they had they had made 58k gold when the season 3 Arena gear came out?

World of Warcraft and Politics Dont Mix
The current buzz in the World of Warcraft world is the Ron Paul campaign march from Ironforge to Stormrage. Game politics had a interesting write up about the whole ordeal, and it looks like there was quite a showing. I’m glad that I don’t play on that server normally due to the fact that because of this march the queues to enter the otherwise quiet server was around 400 at the time of the march.
So what happened with the march?

Took a While, but I Finally Hit 20,000 World of Warcraft Gold
It took a little longer than I thought to reach this next goal, but I was finally able to reach 20,000 gold again in World of Warcraft. Real life work has been burning me out by the time I get home so I haven’t even been logging in for the 30-45 minutes daily to rack this amount up.
The Season 3 patch was quite a big sales day which raised the World of Warcraft auction house prices by quite a bit. The prices of some items have still not come back down since that patch was released, so that’s great for people playing the auction houses. With school/college out there will be more people playing, so a greater demand of goods to be sold this winter break.
Back at the end of October I had hit 14,000 before Sparter increased its commissions. I thought that with the commission rates doubling to 20% the gold rates would go back up to compensate. However if you look at this widget below you’ll notice, that the World of Warcraft gold to dollar rate has been steadily decreasing. You can click on the full graph link to see a larger version of this graph.
So after hitting this amount, I decided to drop my rates to try to move some of this WoW gold inventory before the year’s up. I plan to move about half of it, so roughly 10k. Maybe I’ll pick up a Nintendo Wii or something for my kid before the new years.
With Blizzard planning the release of the expansion Wrath of the Lich King, and even more levels/quests. The price per 1,000 gold is just going to drop more so I’ll need to cash out while the rates are still high. Its either that or buy some friends their epic mounts for Xmas.
