Yesterday I officially hit the gold cap – the official limit at which point your character cannot receive any more gold. How much exactly? This much:

If anyone trades me even a copper, or if I try to take money from auctions from my mailbox, I get the following error message:

I thought in honor of this milestone I’d share some statistics based on my last 12 months of auctions data. Although my record keeping (via beancounter) is quite complete I’m missing all my raptor pet sales which I’d estimate as being around 100k.

My best sellers

A few interesting things here. You’ll notice that around August I stopped making gold by buying/reselling Abyss crystals. At the same time the market on the 40 stamina to bracer enchant collapsed. Why? The Argent Tournament patch was introduced, and the sudden flood of Abyss Crystals (from the 5-man) onto the market saw prices drop from 120g to 20g and under!

My most profitable week

I’ve had some good weeks, and I’ve had some really good weeks. My best week in the last 12 months was the 7th-13th June with approximately 35k in profit. The big spike day here was partly due to some Darkmoon Decks I’d hung onto from throughout the previous month leading up to the faire.

Where to from here? Well I’m probably sitting at around 230k at the moment so it’ll no doubt be time to spend a small amount on a few things I’ve been avoiding like the Kirin’tor ring and a chopper. From there I guess I’ll probably keep going…300k here I come!

Got any specific questions on how I did it? Hit me up with a comment below!
