Swishco Ventures

Hey there, everyone. I realize I've been pretty scarce lately. Diablo 3 managed to suck me back in with Reaper of Souls, and I've also been playing some Infamous: Second Son on the side. I don't ...

Greetings, gold makers. I hope you've all been having a great week, what with the unexpected boon of WoD pre-orders, and the boosted 90s that come with them, going live. I've definitely been havi...

Just a quick post to make sure you know that today marked the start of pre-orders for Warlord of Draenor. Those that pre-order (as well as those who purchase one separately) get their level 90 bo...

As gold makers, our biggest threat may not be what you think it is. It's not competition. It's not markets collapsing. It's not a bot constantly undercutting. It's the threat of stagnation, of ge...

So, as many of you know, it's been a while since I was last active in gold making. When I left, the game was still in the doldrums of patch 5.3. Throne of Thunder and the Thunder Isle were gettin...

Long time, no see, gold makers. As I sit here writing this post, I'm painfully aware that it's been almost 8 months since I last wrote anything on this blog. That in itself isn't so remarkable. I...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2014/03/where-have-i-been.html

Evening, folks. I apologize that it's been longer than expected since my last post, but you know how that pesky "real life" thing can get. My time for WoW in general got sporadic for a bit, and w...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2013/07/20-days-of-gold-making-day-4-cautionary.html

This may not be news to many, but your most precious resource in the gold making game (and in general) isn't some ultra-rare item or some esoteric bit of knowledge. It's time, plain and simple. E...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2013/06/dont-fear-undercutter.html

So, just a quick update before hopefully more posts to follow. I'm not dead, nor have I quit WoW, nor have I quit gold making. It's just been a combination of being busy with college and, honestl...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2013/06/not-dead-again.html

This post will be relatively short and sweet, as I'm actually finding myself with a ton to do in-game right this moment, but I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I logged on tonight to fi...

Hey there, gold fans!  First of all, apologies are in order.  I know I've been a bit scarce lately.  Part of that's been class work getting heavy, but most of it was just plain not logging on ...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2013/03/52-round-up.html

Greetings, gold fans!  I apologize for my absence, but I'm afraid my class load was hitting me harder than usual.  Still, things have calmed down a bit, so it seems like a good idea to continue...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2013/02/gooooooooooaals-20-days-of-gold-making.html

Evening, gold fans.  Like many out there in the blogging community, I sometimes experience a shortage of that most important element:  topics.  I've lost count of the number of times I've been...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2013/01/20-days-of-gold-making-day-1-better.html

Greetings, gold fans!  I can't help but feel I've left you in the cold again.  A few weeks ago, I announced my new project for the new year...then promptly proceeded to post absolutely nothing ...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2013/01/everything-is-learning-experience.html

Long time, no see, gold fans!  I'd definitely like to apologize for my extended absence.  Things have just been so busy with the holidays.  Combine that with the fact that there hasn't been an...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2013/01/happy-new-year-new-project-unfolds.html

Greetings, gold fans!  I apologize for being fairly quiet, but to be honest, it's been a slow week, especially for a Fair week (more on that a little further in).  When it's a slow week, the go...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2012/11/weekly-sales-summary-11092012.html

Greetings, gold fans!  I know I'm a little late on this week's sales summary, and for that, I apologize.  To be quite honest, I just wasn't in the mood to blog yesterday.  It may sound immatur...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2012/11/weekly-sales-summary-11022012.html

Remember my sales summary post last Thursday, when I said that at the pace I was going, I'd be gold capped in about two weeks?  Since then, I'd been noticing myself outpacing that, to the point...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2012/10/gold-capped.html

Hey there, gold fans!  Just a quick weekly sales summary today, like I promised you earlier in the week.  I can go on and on about what's been making me a profit, but a picture really is worth...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2012/10/weekly-sales-summary-1025.html

Greetings, gold fans!  I hope we're all having fun out there in Pandaria (even if the mass of dailies starts to feel more and more like work).  Amidst all of that fun beyond the Mists, however,...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2012/10/mop-profession-round-up.html

That's right!  I'm still here!  I'll admit to feeling a bit guilty that it's been almost a month since Mists of Pandaria has come out, and I'm only now writing my first blog post about it.  Th...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2012/10/im-not-dead-mists-of-pandaria-so-far_20.html

Welcome back, gold fans!  First of all, hey, I'm not dead!  Yay!  I think, like a lot of bloggers, I just haven't had a lot to write about.  The patch came and went, and now we're just waitin...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2012/09/to-level-or-not-to-level-matter-of.html

Hey there, gold fans!  Just a quick reminder tonight for those of you like me who are shuffling professions around or otherwise trying to skill up before Mists.  The Darkmoon Faire is in town, ...

http://swishcoventures.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-darkmoon-faire-and-you-psa.html

Greeting, gold fans!  As most of you are hopefully aware, this Tuesday (Wednesday for the EU) was Patch 5.0.4, the pre-expansion patch for Mists of Pandaria.  After a bit of a rocky start with ...

Greetings, gold fans!  Just a quick update on glyphs in patch 5.0.4.  As suspected, the Ink Trader no longer trades for Blackfallow Ink, instead demanding the new Ink of Dreams (which is unobta...
