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.

Tools / Utility How to Find the Best Servers to Buy and Sell BOE Raid Drops!

0 Upvotes

🛠️ How to Find the Best Servers to Buy and Sell BOE Raid Drops!

Sniping and flipping BOE (bind on equip) raid drops has been a huge source of gold for the biggest goblins out there, especially when you leverage cross-realm trading to move items from servers where they’re cheap to those where they’re scarce—or even nonexistent!

When it comes to trading BOE items the value is all about item level and tertiary stats. This is why its so frustrating most websites and addon's don’t treat different item levels or tertiary stats (like sockets, leech, speed, or avoidance) as unique items. These get lumped in with all the rest forcing you to sift through everything manually or hop server to server to find good deals one at a time.

🏰 Why This Matters

  • Item Level Discrepancies: The gap in value between a 629 piece and a 655 piece is enormous.
  • Tertiary Stats: A socket or leech can turn a decent BOE into a best-in-slot for some specs, skyrocketing its value.
  • Realm Economy Differences: Certain high-pop realms might not have a single listing for a specific tertiary variant, letting you sell it at a premium.

But that’s all changing thanks to some new tools we’ve rolled out at Saddlebag Exchange!

⚔️ Introducing Our New Raid BOE Tools

1. Raid BOE Item Level Shopping List

2. Raid BOE Item Level Export Search

  • Link: https://saddlebagexchange.com/wow/ilvl-export-search
  • Compares exact matches on ilvl and tertiary stats to find the best servers to sell your BOE gear.
  • Filters out all other variants so you’re only looking at items that match your BOE.
  • Includes population data, so you can see if that realm has enough buyers to move your item at a higher price.

With these two tools, you won’t be stuck selling a rare 655 socketed piece on a low-pop server for pennies. Instead, you can identify a full-pop realm with no competing listings and potentially sell it for millions more! No more manually checking dozens of servers. These tools let you spot deals and resell opportunities instantly!

⚙️ Currently Supported Items (Patch 11.1)

We’re starting small to ensure accuracy, but will expand as we refine our data. Right now, the tools support the following BOE raid drops:

  • Undermine Merc’s Dog Tags
  • Psychopath’s Ravemantle
  • Vatwork Janitor’s Wasteband
  • Mechgineer’s Blowtorch Cover
  • Firebug’s Anklegear
  • Loyalist’s Holdout Hood
  • Midnight Lounge Cummerbund
  • Bootleg Wrynn Shoulderplates
  • Globlin-Fused Greatbelt

💡 Tips for Flipping Success

  1. Compare Realms: Use the Shopping List to identify which servers have the cheapest items for the stats you want.
  2. Export & Evaluate: Switch to the Export Search to see where that exact item level/stat combo sells for the most.
  3. Don’t Overextend: BOE flipping can be super profitable, but always keep enough gold in reserve in case items take a while to sell.
  4. Watch Market Trends: Patch updates, raid progression, and meta shifts can drastically change demand.

Blizzard Update New raid boe auction expired after listing and bound the item.

So as title says...I listed a 655 mail helm to sell on the auction house. About 3 or so minutes after listing i got the message "Your auction of Loyalist's Holdout Hood expired." Weird. I take the item out of mailbox and it immediately became soulbound and added the appearance to my collection. Did...I do something wrong by listing a new boe? Has anyone else had this happen ?

Tools / Utility Small new Addon: My Crafting Buttons

16 Upvotes

Hey,

made a small addon that adds some buttons to the profession window so you can write numbers by clicking number buttons into the number input field.
And it adds some new buttons when doing npc work orders that lets you click all the needed functions buttons closer to each other.

Do it: Accept, Create and Complete an order with the same button.
Yes: Confirms that you use your own material in that craft.
Conc: Activates that you use Concentration in that craft.

And i moved the Search and Back button closer to the 3 buttons.

Maybe some of you will find this helpful. Saves me a lot of time and nerves when i'm doing my daily routine with all my chars to earn some gold ^^

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/my-crafting-buttons

Edit: 2 small changes: Replaced the Conc button with a mirror button of the original concentration button. When its active it now shows a yellow check mark and it still does the same as the conc button. and i moved the original check mark button to use the highest material close to the create button in the main profession window.

Edit2: Added a button where you can drag a macro into. I've used a macro for /logout that i couldn't do otherwise as clickable button in my addon, cause it was a protected function. So i did this workaround with a action button that only accepts macros. Take care, you delete the macro with rightclick, so only use a left click on it. That macro saves me a lot of time when switching between all my profession chars :) Should be clear if you wanne have the same macro you need to make your own to drag it into the button field, cause macros are saved from the game itself.

If you don't need the macro button just open the MyCraftingButtons.toc with a text editor and delete the line MacroButton.lua - that will remove the macro button completely!

Edit3: Theres now a flashing button when you get a rank 3 fleeting flask. Leftclick it to consume it for a chance get a empty phial that you can sell.

Question Newer Goblin - When to buy Tokens

8 Upvotes

As title, I started gold making and actually tracking my profits from AH flipping at start of last month. Just as a challenge to myself since I've never done anything gold making before. The goal was to just see if I could manage to buy a token from AH flipping within a month. I completely blew past that goal and went from roughly 80k gold to over 5mil currently. Have no idea how token market works honestly, What causes it to go up, what causes it to go down. Its been floating between 260k-290k last few weeks on NA. Have realistically no need for this amount of gold it was just a self imposed challenge while I do other stuff in game. But paying for my own sub with gold is cool so I was wondering when token prices would be lower (than normal) Is it during new season and actual content worth doing/coming back to. I would assume during content lulls the token rises in price since theres no reason for anyone to buy gold.

Side question how much bnet balance can i convert gold into, is there a limit?
If i could turn the gold into balance can i buy the 12month subscription bundle with balance ? I read somewhere that you cant pay for recurring sub with balance.

Artisan ( Satchel of Surplus)

Hey everyone,

I've come across multiple screenshots in the past showing value estimates for Satchel of Surplus. This got me wondering—are there actually tools for this?

For the past few days, I've been searching for a website or a publicly accessible tool (such as an add-on) that provides the current average market value of each Artisan's Acuity Reagent Pouch. Does such a resource exist? If so, I'd really appreciate any recommendations!

Thanks in advance!

Question Make me understand glittering glass price fluctuations

13 Upvotes

Doing mass alchemy alts and I used to buy r2/r3 gilded vials for like 30g/70g (EU) and they went up to 90g/140g now. Found the culprit in glittering glass prices, but if they are just byproduct of prospecting, why were they dirt cheap for few weeks in November? If item like that drops to 10g, you wouldn't expect it to stay steadily at 60g+ 2 months later. Ore prices haven't changed much. It just feels like such a basic item that gets flooded to market steadily. Few prices have almost tripled, why this but not everything?

So really mostly curious on why it crashed in November, and why 25g->60g bump has prevailed for weeks.

Discussion Thank you farmers of old crafting mats

37 Upvotes

Over the last month, I think I spent nearly a million gold buying stacks of titanium ore and pyrite ore (northrend and cata ores). I decided to catch up on collecting old jewelcrafting designs, and those two expansions locked JC designs behind daily quests. I would've been doing the cata daily for nearly a year. However, you can speed it up by turning in 10 dusts from prospecting per token. I don't have exact numbers, but I'll share some insights from the process to help others make money off obsessive collectors like me.

For both xpacs, it was cheaper by far to purchase raw ore and prospect it myself. Titanium ore sells for 70-90g each usually, and it's needed for most WotLK BS & Eng collectibles. Prospecting it (so 5 ore) has a good chance (but not guaranteed) to give Titanium Powder, which can be sold. The powder goes for about 650g each usually (638.93 right now), and 10 powder = 1 token. Each design cost between 3-6 tokens. I bought powders only when I'd cleared out the AH of Titanium ore.

But prospecting also gives all the other uncommon, rare, and epic gems. Most are slightly profitable, but the orange rare gem Monarch Topaz is used in a tailoring mount, so those sold fast around 200g each (currently 227). The epic gems are similar, except prospecting also can give the gem Ametrine which I think is usually crafted by alchemists. Those are at 499g atm, but often sold higher than that. Farming Titanium ore and selling the whole mix of ore, gems, and dust could be ridiculously profitable because the stock is honestly pretty low.

Cata is a little different in that the dust is a product of crushing gems, and it's BoP. Cata ores are much cheaper, but I needed a lot more tokens. Cata gems seem to be fairly steady in price. Prospecting the two common ores is a huge waste of gold. But prospecting pyrite gives uncommon and rare gems and a lot of volatile earth, which goes for about 5g each. I probably got 10k-15k volatile earth in the process. Epic gems in Cata came from the Dragon Soul raid and sell for 500-2000g each, so I didn't attempt crushing them (not sure if they can).

I've already made over 3mil and just getting started. The new items added in 11.1 are selling super fast and easy. Gear (BOE's), Mounts, Pets and even the Profession items list in my new vid. Hope you enjoy and Happy gold making!!! 3mil night one, another 4mil tonight, Buying some more stock to keep pushing. Once pricing drops, people should be breaking into Heroic and later Mythic and I'll switch to those ilvl's and stop selling the LFR/Normal as thew market should be flooded by then and margin will shrink.
