Now is the last chance to spend Titan Residuum in World of Warcraft. You should definitely do this to make a good amount of gold.
What is Titan Residuum? Titan Residuum is a currency that players could earn during Battle for Azeroth. It was obtained from the weekly “Mythic+” chest and from disassembling Azerite gear. Players could then use the Residuum to buy equipment of their choice. This way, the perfect Azerite gear could be farmed specifically.
What happens to the Residuum? With the launch of Shadowlands, the currency will automatically be converted to gold, but at a pretty modest rate. For every Titan Residuum, you will receive exactly 1 Silver. So, if you have accumulated 20,000 Titan Residuum, you will receive a letter with 200 gold. A pretty bad deal.
What should you do instead? Instead of waiting for the launch of Shadowlands, you should spend your Titan Residuum now. Buy the cheapest chest for 175 Residuum from the Azerite vendor in Boralus (Alliance) or Dazar’alor (Horde). This can be sold for about 70-80 gold pieces.
Instead of 1 gold and 75 silver, you get a whopping 70 to 80 gold.
If you have 20,000 Residuum, that totals almost 8,500 gold pieces – compared to the 200 gold you would receive through the automatic conversion.
Using a Macro makes it even easier: Many, like the YouTuber Hazelnutty, also use a macro to simplify the purchase of Azerite gear. The macro buys one of the Azerite items and uses it immediately to create a piece of armor. This saves time.
The macro looks like this in the English client:
/run BuyMerchantItem(3)
/use Relinquished Azerite Chestpiece
For the German client, this macro works like this:
/run BuyMerchantItem(3)
/use Aufgegebener Azeritbrustharnisch
Make sure before using that the chest piece is indeed in position 3 with the vendor for you. If the vendor offers you other items – like essences – you need to adjust the number, for example to 5.
Anyone who still has Residuum lying around should promptly spend it. Because with the launch of Shadowlands, you might miss out on several thousand gold pieces.
How much gold have you made from selling Residuum items?
