Noblegarden, WoW’s version of Easter, is back with us… and this year it brings a powerful new gold-making opportunity. The event runs from Sunday April 8th through Saturday April 14th (ends at 3am server time on April 15).

I’ve posted a new video guide for the event, updated for 2012. Since Noblegarden runs for just a week, you’ll want to check out the new video right away, and find out how to profit from the new tradeable status of the Spring Rabbit vanity pet.

• Noblegarden Event Gold Guide

I’ve also got tips there for you on trading the other items unique to this event, although their potential for profit has been reduced drastically over the past couple of years:

• Elegant Dress
• White Tuxedo Shirt
• Black Tuxedo Pants

Plus some help if you’re having difficulty gathering Brightly Colored Eggs and Noblegarden Chocolates (currency for buying the unique Noblegarden items) due to competition from other gold-hungry players

Enjoy!

This year’s Feast of Winter Veil has begun: it opened today (Thursday Dec 15th), and it runs through to December 31st. And once again, the frenzy around Small Eggs is providing some great gold-making opportunities!

I’ve updated the Winter Veil “Profit Pump” page with live action from the 2011 auction house, showing a powerful technique you can use to stay ahead of your competitors, without contributing to the inevitable downward spiral of prices. Check out the new update video on the Winter Veil event page:

And of course, don’t forget all the other gold-making opportunities that come along with Winter Veil:

• Deeprock Salt
• Winter Garb
• Red and Green Helper Boxes
• Snowman Kit
• Jingling Bell
• Winter Veil specialty patterns and recipes (Plans: Edge of Winter etc.)
• Preserved Holly
• Snowballs
• Greatfather’s Winter Ale

New video: looking at the “Other Realms” scatter chart at The Undermine Journal to get a quick grasp of the overall market for an item across all servers. This is a great way to spot opportunities, where an item may be trading outside its “normal” range on your auction house.

• Tools: The Undermine Journal (TUJ)

In this particular example, I demonstrate using the scatter chart to see what’s happening with the Disgusting Oozeling, a rare drop pet that may be changing value due to a possible increase in availability. The item is too scarce to judge any new trends by observing a single auction house, but the all-realms overview at TUJ will tell the story.
