AI Summary

This video explains how to make gold in World of Warcraft Midnight by cross-realm crafting, using tailoring as an example. The method involves crafting gear items for cheap (under 10 gold) and selling them on other realms for 1,000–5,000 gold each, leveraging the war bank and addons like TSM and Auctionator. The host emphasizes high profit margins per item and slow sales, aiming for 150k+ gold per hour.

[00:01]
Cross-realm crafting as top gold method

Cross-realm crafting is one of the best gold making methods in terms of gold per time, using stackable items that are server-specific (not region-wide).

[00:45]
Using tailoring as an example

Tailoring gear pieces cost less than 10 gold to craft but sell for 1,000–2,000 gold each. The markup is massive, though sales are slower than materials.

[02:32]
Combining crafting with flipping

The video focuses on crafting, not flipping. Crafting is strong because crafts use region-wide materials, so you always get the cheapest price, then sell on realms with high prices.

[03:36]
Step-by-step: crafting and distribution

First decide which items to craft (e.g., garments). Use Auctionator to create a shopping list, craft five of each item for five different realms.

[04:45]
Max rank is essential

Sell only max rank (rank 5) items. You need a profession setup with max skill, blue gear, and specialization nodes to guarantee rank 5. Use CraftSim to simulate.

[06:42]
Using TSM to manage groups and transfer

Create a new TSM group (e.g., 'Midnight Crafts'), add items with item level, set restock quantity to 1. Use '/tsm bankui' to move items to war bank.

[08:07]
Best bank alt: level 10 Vulpera

A level 10 Vulpera with brutosaur is ideal because it spawns in Orgrimmar, with access to guild bank, mailbox, auctioneer, and war bank in one spot.

[08:32]
Posting on a new realm

Open war bank on the alt, press 'short fall to bags' to pull one of each item not yet posted. Use a TSM operation with minimum price = 100% DBRegionMarketAvg.

[10:09]
Slow sales and high profit margins

Do not post on realms where prices are too low. Aim for high profit per item (e.g., 1,200+ gold). Rule of thumb: 1 minute per item yields 150k+ gold/hour if profit is high.

[14:04]
Scaling: how many realms and reposting

Post once every 48 hours without cancel scanning. For cancel scanning, limit to 50–60 items per realm to avoid lag. More realms and more frequent reposting increase sales.

Cross-realm crafting is a powerful, sustainable gold making method that requires minimal daily effort once set up. Focus on high-profit items, use addons to streamline, and don't chase fast sales.

Tutorial Checklist

1 00:45 Choose a crafting profession (e.g., tailoring) and decide which gear items to craft.
2 03:36 Use Auctionator to create a shopping list for the items and buy materials (including vendor items).
3 04:29 Craft the items, ensuring you have the profession setup to produce max rank (rank 5) gear.
4 06:42 Create a new TSM group (e.g., 'Midnight Crafts') and add the crafted items with item level.
5 07:25 Set TSM operations: restock quantity to 1, and apply the group to the war bank. Move items to war bank via '/tsm bankui'.
6 08:07 Log into a bank alt (e.g., level 10 Vulpera with brutosaur) and open war bank. Press 'short fall to bags' to pull one of each unposted item.
7 08:59 Set up a TSM posting operation with minimum price = 100% DBRegionMarketAvg. Run a post scan; if items are too cheap on that realm, move them back to war bank.
8 11:35 Repeat on multiple realms. Focus on realms where items post at high profit margins. Do not post on realms with low prices.
9 14:04 Repost every 48 hours (or cancel scan with 50–60 items per realm). The more realms you use, the more sales you get.

[00:01] million gold every week with cross realm selling and in today's video I'm going to show you how you can easily get started with cross realm crafting and make a lot of gold very very easily. Cross realm crafting is going to be one

[00:16] of the best gold making methods in terms of how much gold you make per time to show you how you can easily do this with the help of add-ons to simplify the process a lot and be able to scale this how much you want to yourself. Some of

[00:32] per day on this. Some of you maybe want to spend an hour per day on this. It all depends on who you are and it's also of course going to determine how much gold you are making. But let's get started immediately and in this video we are

[00:45] going to use tailoring as an example. You can do this with any crafting profession that can craft something that is selling on the server specific auction house. And how to determine if something is selling on the server

[00:57] anything that's in your bag and is stackable. For example, this fish has seven stacks. This is on the region wide auction house. If it is something that takes one slot each. For example, this tailoring robe. This is selling on the

[01:11] basically means that it will have a different prices depending on what server you play on. So how do we utilize this with tailoring? We are crafting the garments here, the gear. Crafting gear in tailoring is super cheap. It cost

[01:26] like less than 10 gold to craft one of these pieces as you can see and I am selling them mostly for around one to two thousand gold per craft. That is an insane markup as you can see. If you craft something for 10 gold, sell it for

[01:39] two thousand gold, that is a lot of profit per item. Of course, this is items that is not going to sell like a material because a material you can sell day. Gears like this you're not going to be able to sell tens of thousands of

[01:53] these gear pieces every day. That is obvious. But what is really good is that it takes you so little time to craft one of these gear pieces, transfer it to another realm, and post it, and then keep on reposting it until it sells. And

[02:06] these gears sell really, really good right now. And this is just an example gears, you can sell green profession equipment, you can sell blue profession equipment, you can sell toys, you can sell crafted mounts, you can sell like

[02:19] items that you can sell cross realm that is still selling, and you can mark it this up with insane prices. And if you scale this, you're going to be able to make so much gold. What I'm doing is I'm basically combining this with flipping,

[02:32] In today's video, we just cover crafting. Flipping is a different thing where you buy items cheap and sell them for more. But, in today's video, we focus on the crafting side, which is also really, really good. Because why

[02:45] crafting and distributing to different realms is so good is because most of the crafts that you're doing is using items that are on the region wide auction house, which basically means that you're always, no matter what server you play

[02:57] on, able to craft this at the cheapest possible price. And then you can transfer the item in the war bank to another realm where it sells for 2,000 gold and sell it there. What server you craft on doesn't matter, but what server

[03:09] price of the items that you sell. So, it's really good. Just a quick little this lately, like if you've been on my streams and such, is because this is so good gold. It's forever going to be like one of the best gold making methods.

[03:22] It's going to be any farm, any crafting of like consumables and stuff, and talking a lot about this now is because gold making in Midnight is hard. Mass crafting really, really hard. This way of making gold really, really easy. But,

[03:36] let's get into the juicy stuff now. Basically, how to craft gears and distribute them to other realms and sell them there. So, first of all, decide example, we're going to craft the garments. So, what I do then is I have

[03:49] have to have. I'm just using these to like make a craft queue here with items that I want to craft. So I just add them to the list here like this. Now we have a list of items that we want to craft. Now I want to craft five of each items

[04:03] because I'm going to sell those items on at least five different realms. So I will be putting five crafts here into every crafts and then simply I can use the create auctionator shopping list here to make a shopping list. I will be

[04:16] the way in the description below. So here we go. Now it made a list for me automatically inputting how many of the quantities I need to buy. So I'm just course this is vendor items. You can buy them from the vendor if you want to. I

[04:29] simple and it doesn't matter cuz it's so little gold. Now all I do is I um of course craft these items. And what is very important with these items is that the lesser ranks of the items that you're crafting is going to be worthless

[04:45] and that is not what you want to sell. You want to sell the max rank items. And what I'm going to say quickly here is if you want to support me and like what I do and also get access to my cross realm crafting guide over on Patreon where I'm

[04:57] right now as of making this video also working on profession setups like the minimalistic profession setups for all of different crafting all different and stuff. You can check that out in the description and the pinned comment. But

[05:11] you need a setup to craft them at max rank five. And in tailoring we can go through really quick what you need to make it at quality five. It's actually a little bit annoying in tailoring because tailoring has a lot of different nodes

[05:25] with skill points. You need max skill in the profession. You need a blue gear. You need fiber arts so you get a lot of skill points from that. Then you need a from that as well. All you need basically in tailoring is just a skill

[05:38] points because you don't need any stats for this cuz if you have resourcefulness here you can resourcefulness an item that's worth one gold or two three gold. need stats for this. All you really need is the skill points you can guarantee

[05:51] concentration. So, just prioritize getting the skill points and the setup arts. Then you need fabric specialist cuz that is also giving skill. Depending on where you are later in terms of skill points, depending on what setup you

[06:04] already have, I think Sideray Refinery is good cuz that gives skill, 35 skill be really important. So, if you set up from fresh, you need this. But if you're with a lot of skill already, and then you don't really have to worry. You can

[06:17] always use simulation mode here in CraftSim to simulate like the nodes here, what happens if I put 30 points into Fashion Genius here, for example. rank five, that's going to be easy and straightforward. I'm going to have

[06:29] guides for that for most professions on Patreon, together with my step-by-step But enough talking about that right now, let's craft all of our items. Okay, so all items has been crafted. I'm sorry for my messy bag, but here we have all

[06:42] of our items. For this YouTube video, I'm quickly making a new TSM just to show you here how you can do it. Simply make a new group here in TSM, call it Midnight Crafts. This is a very minimalistic setup, but this is all you

[06:56] to do any special stuff, but this is really all you need. Add all of your items to your group. Make sure you have selected item level here if it is midnight stuff that you are crafting because those are item level dependent

[07:10] level. When you have added them as the item level to the group, go to operations. You can use the default method here. Restock quantity, just put to one. You don't need to change anything here. Then you apply down here

[07:25] to your group that you crafted with your items, and now you can simply transfer and put into your group to the warband bank by just pressing move to bank. The bank by just pressing move to bank. The command for showing this thing here is

[07:39] command for showing this thing here is {slash} TSM {space} bank UI. And then What I recommend you to do then is just press auctioning up here. It's going to recommend going to auctioning. Now we have transferred all our items to the

[07:53] to post them and how to quickly take on one of my sellers here, which you might can see is a level 10 vulpera. Just a quick note, if you have the brutosaur, level 10 vulpera is the best

[08:07] bank alt because you spawn in Orgrimmar. You just have to fly to Valley of Wisdom and here you can stand without moving having access to guild bank, mailbox, auctioneer, and also your war bank. So just just a quick note. And vulpera has

[08:19] best bank as well. But when you have moved to another character, you simply have to open the war bank again and press short fall to bags. This will pull press short fall to bags. This will pull now one of each item from your war bank

[08:32] to your bag that you have currently not posted on the auction house on this character and is not already in your bag. So that is really really good and after you press this button. And now I have all of the items that we just

[08:46] crafted in my bag and now we are going to post them on the auction house and to do this we need a quick little operation here in a TSM. And for this video I'm just going to make it very very simple. This is how the operation looks. You can

[08:59] also of course once again little bit of a shout out to my patron. You can find my TSM profiles and everything for cross realm crafting and cross realm flipping as well how it can work if you want to do it like this example. But here we

[09:13] simply take minimum price 100% DB region market average. You don't really need to know what this means. It just means that if you have an item with TSM, you can see the region market value average. This is the price that it will now use

[09:26] This is the price that it will now use as minimum price. So if you try to post items on this realm and the items that you're trying to post is too cheap on this realm, it will say cheapest auction below mean price. And that just means

[09:40] that the price of these items is too bad on this realm. And that is completely expected on a lot of realms. And that is why you simply just put them back in the war bank then and sell them on another realm. So, what you want to have, of

[09:54] different realm groups. I recommend checking raider.io for realm groups. I can link that in the description as well. But, it is totally expected to have many of your items not posted everywhere. And this is very important.

[10:09] You're not looking for fast sales when you do this. Because, if you have too small profit per crafted item, it's not going to be worth it to do this. A rule of thumb we can say is it takes 1 minute to craft one item, transfer it, and post

[10:26] it enough times for it to sell. And if we take that 1 minute times 60, we have a full hour, right? And if that is only 100 gold profit on that item, then we will only have a gold per hour of 6K per hour, which is really bad. We don't want

[10:42] to have 6K per hour doing this. Then we can just farm or whatever else. We're looking for great gold per hour. And that is why we don't post our auctions when they are too cheap, because we don't want to make 6K per hour. We want

[10:54] to make 150K gold per hour or more. We always want to make sure that we don't try to do this in a weird way that I know that a lot of people will want to do because they want like quicker sales and they want to see sales. But, sales

[11:06] efficient, cuz then it's just a waste of time. So, it's really important to stay on top of having high profit margins on your crafted items. And with that said, don't be scared or don't be sad when you see cheapest auction below mean price,

[11:20] Of course, you're not going to see it like this on every realm, like all of good, right? But, that is at least very good to know, so you don't go for quick time at 100 gold per hour. You might as well dance in Goldshire or whatever. And

[11:35] since nothing was posted on this realm now then in this example, we simply just move it back by pressing move to war man back like that. All of our items is now moved back to the war man back. Now we just simply log in to another realm and

[11:47] run a post scan there as well. And I know that a lot of you is going to wonder like what realms is best to sell at. I am under the impression that there others. In my opinion, that's a myth. That's what people want to think. They

[12:01] That is not true. We are selling slow selling items. Everything is up to RNG. What we can say though is lower population realms on average will have higher prices and slower sales. The higher the population is, the lower

[12:15] price will be and maybe faster sales. So that's like a rule of thumb. Like the profit per time spent is in my opinion most likely going to be quite the same, you know. So don't worry about what realms you pick. I don't. I just pick

[12:30] same realm group as I said earlier. So now we're on another realm. Once again, be as detailed as possible by the way. I'm sorry for that, but I just want you can do this and make so much gold. And as you can see here, we are now getting

[12:45] some green text here. Courtly wrist getting posted for 5,000 gold. Ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching. Our other items here are getting posted for a lot of gold as you can see here as well. If we sell an item here, it's extremely good profit.

[12:58] It's like 1,200 profit minimum. And if we take that 1 minute, 1,200 gold for 1 minute, that is going to be about, I don't know, 780k per hour something like that. Even if that is feeling low doing

[13:11] this, we could set higher gold for those items as well. But then we will have to do a lot more work with our TSM and divide the items into groups and stuff to like make sure that we get those higher hard gold per item. And we don't

[13:24] some of the items is going to weigh it up. If we sell this wrist it's 5K be a lot. What we don't want to be after is getting those low value sales, and I'm just saying that a lot because I know a lot of you guys want to see the

[13:38] can sell this for 200 gold profit. I just want to see sales." That is not the just what I'm trying to push, so you don't end up doing this and it's bad because this should literally be a game

[13:52] changer for you if you're not making a lot of gold yet and you want to make a lot of gold. So, with that said, now you know how to do this. What I can say is just like how much sales you're going to get, I can't promise you. What I can say

[14:04] you're going to sell. The more realms you sell on, the more you're going to sell. The more often you repost, the more you're going to sell. On my realms, I'm not even cancel scanning. I'm posting once every 48 hours and leaving

[14:18] the items, and then I repost them in 48 hours. If you want to do this like and repost, what I recommend is do not than 50 to 60 items per realm because then you're going to be throttled and lag a lot when cancel scanning, so have 50 to

[14:31] 60 items per realm if you're going to be cancel scanning and reposting. And if more gold, but you're going to spend more time doing it, so it's all up to you. But just know that you can craft 100 items, put them on a few characters,

[14:44] post them once per day, once per week, whatever, you're going to make a lot of you get sales, you're going to be happy because you know that you have made so much profit per sale that you have made. So, I hope this video was informative. I

[14:57] hope I have opened up your eyes to cross realm crafting because this is one of the best gold making methods right now, guys. Please, if you enjoy what I do, the channel. Also, let me know in the comments if you're doing this, if you're

[15:09] any questions, just let me know. And sign up on the Patreon if you want to support your brother a little bit extra. Much love. Goodbye.
