This week sees a major update to our favourite gold making addon TradSkillMaster with new tracking of cross realm gold. We have details on the Naxx secret crafting recipes along with news of the return of the Mobile Auction House!
My name is Samadan and I’ll be your guide through the World of Gold Making!
TSM 4.13 Release
The team behind TradeSkillMaster have been hard at work updating the addon to work better with Dragonflight Professions and Cross Realm trading now that 10.1.5 has been released.
With the launch of patch 10.15 we are introducing version 4.13 of TSM with a number of improvements to Dragonflight profession support and other additions we think you’ll love.
4.13 Profession Updates
Iterating on the things introduced in 4.12, we have continued to improve profession support including:
- Adding support for Dragonflight salvaging for milling and prospecting
- Adding support for crafting inspiration to show potential cost and profit of a crafted item that is not guaranteed
- Improving the Optional Reagent flow further from the modal introduced in 4.12 to an in-line editor when a recipe is selected, allowing quicker access to add embellishments and finishing reagents
Region-wide support in 10.1.5
With the introduction of direct trading between any characters for gold and items on any realm in a given region, we are also very excited to expand on TSM cross-faction support added in 4.12 to cover region-wide tracking and reporting.
In 4.13, and if the option is enabled in the TSM General Settings, addon information such as inventory and accounting data will be available on any realm in your region. That way you can reference what you paid for an item and see how many you have on any realm from any other realm.
This will also include gold quantity and gold history, so your TSM Dashboard will cover all realms in your region if you’re actively using the addon on multiple realms!
To manage Accounting Data, the option to remove old sales and purchases has been modified to support an input instead of a predefined list in the Accounting Settings. If you’re making use of this feature and experience some performance issues it’s recommended to purge older data (which won’t affect your gold charts).
Custom String Performance Enhancements
Some TSM users have created some monster Custom Strings for all kinds of Operations and material prices. We’ve spent some time optimizing how Custom Strings are calculated to improve performance for very large or complex Custom Strings in very large profiles. This should also reduce the number of errors encountered when using TSM with some content creator profiles.
Grouping pets by level
We are also introducing ‘item level’ grouping for Pets in 4.13, where the pet item level translates to the level of the pet. When you’re grouping items by ‘item level’ they will be treated differently when shopping and posting through operations vs pets of other levels that are not grouped for example.
This are great additions to the AH powerhouse addon especially for those who trade accross multiple realms and need to be able to track stock.
Absolute love these new features @TSMAddon, it now takes a fraction of a second to give me a very approximate value of current stock across every EU/US server pic.twitter.com/6YSJlYPHLJ

Unlock Guide for Secret T3 Crafting
Manthieus has put together a great guide on how to get the secret ancient patterns and tier 3 crafting patterns..
The gold making opportunities here have been fun to see as people have been stocking up on old world materials since this was discovered. The Secret Finding Discord has a document with a link to a spreadsheet that lists the quantities of materials required.
There is also a full guide here on Wowhead.
Just look at the price of one material Righteous Orbs as they were bought up and then subsequently dumped back on the AH …

There’s also a great opportunity for those with the legacy Drop Dead, Gorgeous achievement as they are the only ones able to craft the special reagents needed as others will be looking for this via Work Orders …
Companion App Auction House Returns
A rather surprise announcement was the return of the Auction House for the Companion App …
The WoW Companion App has been updated to include the ability to sell your wares on the go. Stock up on items you need or sell off items you don’t on the go. Here’s what you can do:
- Browse and view current auctions
- Buy auctions
- Search for auctions
- Add and remove items from your Favorites list
- Post items from your inventory for sale
- View and cancel your listed auctions
This is a massive quality of life improvement for those that are not always able to be at their computer and want to list a few auctions from inventory. You can’t open your mail and collect auctions to relist though, so it’s only really for the odd item you have in stock.
Hazel’s Guide to Crafting Professions
Hazelnuttygames has put together a comprehensive guide how she has been making gold using professions using mainly the AH and not work orders…
She goes through the process of using Craftsim paired with Auctionator to get up to date prices to work out what’s profitable and then shows how to maximize profits with specializations, gear and skill. Well worth a watch!
We Broke It
One of the major features we covered last week was the upcoming Cross Realm Trading. It was active for a little bit, but then things broke and it has been temporarily disabled..
Cross Realm Trading has been temporarily disabled while we address an issue causing realm instability. An update will be provided when this feature is re-enabled. Thank you for your patience.
Hopefully it will be back soon and we can shift items about more easily!
