After patch 1.10 I figured I needed to update several of the addons that I use that were broken after the patch. One of the main addons that I use is Auctioneer. There are some really nice new features that I'm glad to see in the version that I am now using.

I especially like that now I am able to specify how and when Auctioneer loads. There are options for load manually, load always and load when at the auction house. This lets the mod take up less memory while the game is running and if I happen to want to turn off Auctioneer's extra display features I can do that as well.

Another new feature is the countdown for scanning the auction house. The Auctioneer mod now sports a handy new countdown to let you know how long a scan will take. Now you can know if you've got time for a cup of coffee or time to vacuum the house.

I've successfuly used Auctioneer in WOW to accumulate enough gold for my level forty mount in under three weeks. That was starting from zero gold at the beginning. It really makes your pricing and auction activities much more efficient. If you can price an item right the first time you will save yourself time and gold from not sold items. Auctioneer is also great to let you know which items go well at the auction house and which ones you should just dump at the nearest vendor.

All of you out there interested in making gold efficiently in WOW should check out the Auctioneer mod. It's really a great time saver and info tool.

I discuss the auctioneer mod and how it helped me earn close to 90 gold in a little over two weeks.

Auctioneer is an extremely helpful mod for the gold strapped World of Warcraft character. It allows you to scan the auction house and construct a price database that will let you choose which road you would like to take to virtual riches.

Here's my reccomended path.

1. As soon as you have Auctioneer installed and you've logged in, type /Auctioneer load always. This makes sure that Auctioneer is always running for this character.

2. Once Auctioneer is running proceed directly to your nearest auction house.

3. Select your favorite auctioneer and right click on them.

4. Click the "Scan" button on the auction interface. This will take a while but the good thing is that the newest version of Auctioneer gives you an estimated time to complete as well as a count down.

5. Find something external from the game to occupy you for the next few minutes. Once the scan is complete you are ready to begin your rapid ascent to wealth.

6. Begin by exploring your inventory. Hovering over items in your bags will now give you suggested sale prices. You can see if you have any buried treasure in your current inventory. Auctioneer will also let you know how competive your sale price is. Hint! If you are undercutting your items are much more likely to sell.

7. Start listing your items in the auction house. The key to success here is pricing correctly. With Auctioneer this is taken care of for you. Your items will sell faster and you will not mistakenly underprice items that can bring you a hefty profit.

8. Enjoy your new found wealth!

I discuss the Gatherer Mod.

Gatherer is priceless. It saves you countless hours of scavenging the countryside looking for resources to mine or harvest. The gist of it is that when you mine, pick herbs, or even discover caches of treasure they are marked on your map and mini-map. When you return to an area in the future you can quickly spot any previously noted resources and speedily harvest your bounty.

This is much better than scratching your head trying to remember which rock that odd Mithril deposit was hidden behind.
