Gold Boosts from Dreamsurges - Economy Weekly Wrap-Up
Welcome to the 296th edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up! In this blog post, we have some exciting tips and updates for all the gold makers out there. We'll be discussing a great tip for maximizing gold from World Quests using the new Dreamsurge events introduced in patch 10.1.7. We'll also be diving into the recent additions to the WorthIt addon, a helpful tool for solo farmers. And finally, we'll be exploring the results of two months of transmog farming. So, let's get started!
More Gold From Dreamsurge Magpies
With the introduction of Dreamsurges in patch 10.1.7, there is a specific buff called Dreamsurge Magpies that has caught the attention of gold makers. This buff, when active, triples the gold rewards from World Quests, despite the tooltip indicating a +100% increase. This means that you can earn a significant amount of gold by completing World Quests during this buff. It's important to note that Dragonriding Purses do not receive this bonus. So, if you're looking to maximize your gold earnings, keep an eye out for the Dreamsurge Magpies buff and take advantage of it while it's active.
How to Make the Most of Dreamsurge Magpies
- Park an alt in the Dreamsurge zone to easily monitor the buff.
- Utilize the half-hour duration of the buff to complete World Quests on multiple characters.
- Take advantage of the World Quest bonus week, such as The World Awaits event, to further boost your gold earnings.
Gold World Quests are a reliable way to build up your gold reserves and cover your regular expenses in the game. So, don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to maximize your gold earnings!
New Farms Added to WorthIt Addon
If you're looking for new farming opportunities and need guidance on where to go and what to expect, the WorthIt addon is a fantastic resource. DalaGG, the creator of the addon, has been hard at work over the past couple of months adding a plethora of new farms to the addon.

Results of 2 Months of Transmog Farming
There is a common misconception that transmog items never sell quickly, and it can be discouraging for gold makers who are impatient for results. However, u/SearchForLoot has been conducting weekly summaries of their transmog farming results on the r/woweconomy subreddit, and after 8 weeks of data, it's worth revisiting their findings.
This week, Sunwell Plateau schematics continued to generate significant sales, with one of them setting a new record as the highest-priced item sold so far. After week 8, u/SearchForLoot plans to conclude their updates at week 10, as they believe they have answered the initial questions they set out to answer regarding gold earnings and time investment in transmog farming.
What Was Farmed This Week?
Here is a breakdown of the farming activities in week 8:
Location | Total Runs | Total Time |
Sunwell Plateau | 30 | 1 hour 18 minutes |
Razorfen Downs | 20 | 1 hour 8 minutes |
Shadowfang Keep | 10 | 36 minutes |
Saltstone Cave | - | 2 hours 0 minutes |
In total, 5 hours and 2 minutes were spent farming during week 8. Notable drops include several valuable transmog items from Sunwell Plateau and Razorfen Downs. The total gold earned for the week reached a new record of 377,252g, the highest for any week so far, and the overall gold earned for the 8-week period stands at 1,385,888g.
Transmog Sales Breakdown
Here is a breakdown of the sales based on price ranges:
Price Range | Items Sold | Gold Made |
0g-500g | 144 | 119,119g |
500g-1,000g | 106 | 106,010g |
1,000g-10,000g | 243 | 34,133g |
10,000g-100,000g | 52 | 50,942g |
100,000g-Max Gold | 26 | 265,977g |
It's interesting to note that there were more sales in the lower price ranges this week, though the 10,000g-100,000g range still accounted for the highest gold earnings. The highest-priced item sold during week 8 was the Schematic: Justicebringer 3000 Specs, which fetched a staggering 116,158g.
