Classic Cata - Mining and Herbalism at the same time

Hi there, just returning after a couple of months to start a druid with Mining and herbalism as professions. My knowledge was that it wasn‘t possible to track both at the same time and you have to use a macro to make it happen. So I tried unsuccessfully the following (or the german expressions as I am playing with a german clien):

/castsequence Find Minerals, Find Herbs
or
/castsequence [nocombat] Find Herbs, Find Minerals
or
/cast Find Minerals /cast Find Herbs
or
/run local i = MiniMapTrackingIcon:GetTexture();if i == 136025 then CastSpellByName("Find Herbs") else CastSpellByName("Find Minerals") end

I am able to check both searches in the mini map menu. But as soon as I close the menu and reopen it again only 1 is checked and working.
And I can‘t find a spell in the spell book anymore to simply draw it to the cast bar.
Is the addon ‘tracking switcher‘ working because I can‘t find it in the curseforge app anymore.

Can anymore please reveal the secret to me how to make it happen in 2025? Thanks in advance.

BoE farms worth it? Old Raids? Xmog farms?

Hey all. I do enjoy farming old raids for xmogs and boe’s. I haven’t done it for awhile and was wondering if this is still a good way to make gold? What raids would you suggest running?

Wands in enchanting.

Should I be putting knowledge into wands for my knowledge tree? Do wands still sell or are they not as important as they once were. I’ve recently started back up since Cata, but have never been a wand user.

New-ish player just trying to learn how to make gold.

Hey all, title basically. I just wanna learn how to make some gold to just buy the new expac because I dont feel like giving blizzard any more money than I already have. Literally any advice at all is appreciated.

I've done a bit of my own research and I came across a youtuber called Extracify, who seems to know quite a bit about gold making, but I'm still very ignorant when it comes to the topic.

Edit: I am on Moonguard US. Forgot to mention that.

Profaned Tinderbox price in season 2

I have a lot of Profaned Tinderbox from spending all my Undercoin before season 2. Will the price for delve items in season 2 go up because of new crafted gear, or will it go down, because people will do more delves?

Where do I even start

Hopefully some of you are happy to share some knowledge my way!

I've played wow since BC but never really done anything with professions or gold making. Just passively got my gold from farming old content for transmog etc. Now feel I should start building some gold as I've just started feeling the love for wow again.

So where would you suggest I start? I have about 100k in my join bank an army of alts (5 level 80 rest 70) and no professions.

Currently playing Retail of Silvermoon EU. Not raiding only doing LFR as a casual with one friend who recently started playing.

Anything would be greatly appreciated :)

Looking for a searchable auction house in browser

Sorry if this question is redundant, but I can't seem to find one anywhere. JPWorgen, Auctiongoblin, undermine exchange, atlasforge gg, all haven't been updated in over a month. Looking for one that tracks SoD and hopefully Classic Anniversary realms.

I did it.

With a goal and a dream to collect the full T3 set for warriors, I finally achieved it this week.

BMAH didn’t work with my work schedule (everything closed while I was at work) - so I did the Naxx route.

With a combined insight from you all, I went from 60k to 2.8M - enough to buy out the vendor mats needed for T3. It took 6 months with no idea on making gold, to having enough without buying tokens.

I know it’s neither efficient, nor optimal, but consistency drove me. I got my full Dreadnaught based on the skills I learned here and I couldn’t be happier.

Thanks for everything, you’ve made a 20 year old dream come true!

Crafting old stuff but useful / soldable

Yo the idea behind it is simple, what do you craft from old expansions to boost your sales in AH? Any specific mounts like the chopper or nothing really interesting to grind there for new player?

Hybrid professions

So i recently learned that hybrid gathering and crafting on one toon is not ideal, which is super big news to me, but does this really include skinning and leatherworking? im curious because i see so many people who do this, and im a lil tired of my mining/ bs combo. also tired of going to every mining node and mining, while skinning, youre already there where you killed the skinnable mobs. if it means anything, this is on my main who ill be playing with 90% of the time. I just want a small gold intake to recover repair and transmog costs with occasional orders.

Enchanting in classic anniversary?

Recently hit 300 and managed to grab most of the enchants. I’m attempting to make my gold back but other enchanters seem to be using an add on or weak aura to auto invite.. Anyone have a good way to compete with them?

Just came back looking for a simple farm to ease back into gold making.

Covenant Mission Board Pet Charms still a thing?

I have seen people who said the pet charms have been nerfed and others say they haven't so I am hoping a fresh thread can give me a definitive answer.

I was absent from shadowlands so just started setting up my covenant mission board last week, but I haven't seen any yet.

Any auction house data from 2019 Classic available anywhere?

Basically title, tried a few websites out and they don't have data that goes back that far. Assuming it does not exist but worth a try to ask on this sub

Auto (and fast) dungeon queue/leave macro

/script C_PartyInfo.LeaveParty()

/click MicroMenuButton_LFG_Clicker

/click LFDQueueFrameFindGroupButton

/click LFDRoleCheckPopupAcceptButton

/click LFGDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton

Paste the above, name it whatever, any icon.

This will (on-click of macro button):

  1. Auto-Leave the current dungeon
  2. Automatically requeue you for the dungeon you were just in

It really speeds up my cloth farming in Darkflame Cleft

My Brother and me playing on the same IP adress on ONE Battlenet through 2 licenses - I moved out, what now?

As the title says. My Brother and me have been playing WoW on the same B.net through 2 different licenses (WoW 1 & WoW 2) on 2 different computers BUT on the same adress for quite some time - fully legally. Now, I´ve moved out and therefore live on a totally different adress than him. Can we continue playing like that as before? I´ve read through countless forums on B.net and here on Reddit and there are people who say this is totally fine and again others that say this is account sharing and therefore risking a ban. It was originally his account and I really don´t want to risk to get a ban and lose a decade old progress.

Common Questions

  • How do I increase the font size?
    • There is no option to increase the font size. However, you can scale any TSM window by holding shift while resizing it - then resize the window smaller after scaling it.
  • Can I snipe for everything on the AH?
    • Yes! Since TSM 4.14 you can apply a Sniper operation to the Base Group.
  • Why doesn't my scroll wheel macro work?
    • You likely have your mouse cursor over the AH window, any scrollable element will take priority over the macro so move your cursor off the AH window.
  • Can I remove bid-only items from my shopping/sniper results?
    • No, you cannot.
  • I lost all of my TSM settings and groups/operations!
    • Close WoW and restore a backup from the TSM app. You may need to go back a few days.

Cross-realm AH question

I recently returned to retail wow and discovered I have an item worth over 400k on my realm, while the lowest price on the EU region is around 300k. Should I list it at the EU lowest to ensure it sells, since the AH is somewhat cross-realm because of the warband gold bank transferring?
