Buying using The Undermine Journal in WoW Dragonflight

As a general rule of thumb, if the item is lower or equal to the average daily price, it’s usually a good time to buy, but if it’s higher, it’s a good idea to wait. Ultimately, whether you purchase an item or not is really up to you and what you want.

As a seller, The Undermine Journal can help you make gold by showing you what items are out of stock and what their average selling rate is. This also applies to mounts and Transmogs. 

For example, if you’re specializing in Leatherworking, you can navigate to the Leatherworking tab and see what items are in stock and which ones need to be restocked. The specific specialization tabs give you an idea of what items you can craft that need to be replenished on the market and how much they could be worth.

One of the fantastic features of this website is that when you click on an item, it will take you to a page that shows you the historical data of the item on your Auction House. While it may look daunting, there are a few sections you should look at, specifically the Price Heat Map and the Quantity Heat Map.
