[XXile]

Has anyone bought the guide or knows where all the spots are to where you can make 60 gold an hour.....sorry for asking i just dont want to pay money for that shit.

[Kenyan]

get a proffesion, like mining, and sell the shit at the AH. I friend of mine made 300gold in one night mining and selling mithril.

i play on the quel'dor(sp) server.

Gnomes kick ass

[SIKKENT]

That's not possible even with bots. Even the most hardcore of the hardcore couldn't make that much.

HAHAHHAHAHAH

Omg ... lol.

Well gratz for her i guess ... :uhoh:

[Deadsoul]

I hear enchanting's the best way. To be honest, selling things like raw materials can vary greatly in how well they'll sell depending on the server. I've read, for example, that while on one server an arcanite bar would sell for about 30g, on another server a bar would sell for between 50-60g. There really isn't an easy way to grind up your gold really fast unless you have a gimmick, and even then it probably won't last very long.

[Krippled By Kush]

Just buy it its cheaper then ever now.

HAHAHHAHAHAH

Omg ... lol.

she got banned a loss for both parties lololololololololololololol.


Shes ugly ftw

[Zuken]

tailoring dude. all i gotta say

i make Netherweave bags and sell them for 12g a piece. it makes great money since in Nagrand Netherweave is very easy to aquire. i now have 890g and im lvl 66. i'll easily be able to buy a flying mount and probably have an epic mount soon after.


other than that, simple grinding and selling loot you get would be the fastest way to get money. enchanting, as mentioned above, is a good way to make money if you just sell the matierals, but if you want to get it high, it cost a ton of cash. from 1 to 375 i'd assume around 5000 to 6000 gold. i'm tailoring/enchanting and i know for a fact tailoring probably costs...well...around 30 or 40 gold to get to 375. probly less

[P0iletTaper]

is it posible to sell wow gold on the net as an occupation? how much would you make?

[rand0m]

she got banned a loss for both parties lololololololololololololol.


Shes ugly ftw

Banned lol, now that sucks.

Do it like real life, supply and demand. You need to either be one of the first/only people on the server with some awesome new enchant, therefore monopolizing the market (and if there's anyone else with that same enchant as you, set up a deal and don't sell for anything lower than a set price)

OR

Whore the AH. You need money to get money. Observe the AH a lot, see the prices go up and down and begin to learn what's a good deal and what isn't. When you see things going lower than they should be, buy it and sell it higher. If you see any competition at a reasonable or lower price, buy it and sell it higher. Monopolize a certain good in the AH and leave no choices for the engineer or enchanter that needs a certain item, and make them buy your stuff. You should also have "bait" goods. For example, buy all of a certain enchant, put them at like 12g a piece (yours being the only ones in the AH) and then go on a different char and put two or 3 of the same item for 9 or 10g, making it seem like it's a good deal when the real price is maybe 7g. Remember to always buy things that are in demand.

Quel'dorei? That's the server I'm on.

my names sgtbilko, lv 26 or 27 rogue gnome, my bro is a lv 25 mage. ltsmash (from simpsons)

Haven't played more than 4 hours this past week though.

[L4NC3R]

What the hell is so important about virtual gold, that people are willing to pay actual money for it?

[break3r]

I could make 60g an hour before TBC in EPL Tyrs Hand. I can make 120g per hour mining.

The most efficient ways of earning gold in WoW is just constantly killing the same shit over, and over, and over, and over, for hours. Some people decide they'd rather kill $20 than grind for like 20 hours. Not ME, but some people do.

[Kenyan]

^^^ actually its using your profession to sell the shit you make in the auction house. but thats nit picking though :bigwink:

just sold 100wool and 80 linen for about 1/2 what i couldve easyily gotten, kinda sad:banghead:

[Dayve]

The reason people are willing to pay real money for virtual money is because the game is so fucking addictive. I started playing last November, late November/early December, i'm a 67 paladin on Zenedar in the EU servers, and i'm hooked, totally...

The whole point of the game is to become powerful enough to beat anybody that might want to challenge you, and rich enough to be able to make anything you want happen, at the click of a mouse button... And to do this you need LOTS of money, but to get to that point where the world (of warcraft) is your oyster, you need to invest lots of time and money, and you'll also need friends.

The problem with proffessions is that you have to spend a hell of a lot of money and time to make the higher level shit... Tailoring, Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, you need to buy the materials to make the high level shit, and it takes time and money, and maybe you can sell it and make 10g or so profit... It's hardly worth the time or money. Same with enchanting, the materials for the highest level enchantments (the most popular and in demand ones) are so expensive it's unbelievable... Most people usually buy the materials for the enchant they need, find an enchanter and won't pay him more than 10g for the enchant they want... 10g a few times a day just doesn't cut it, there are hundreds of high level enchanters on every server, and hundreds of every other proffession... You constantly have to lower your prices to get deals, and this ensures that proffessions are the most inefficient way of making money.

The more effecient proffessions are mining and herbalism. You mine the metal, pick the flowers, sell the shit at the auction house... You spend no money getting the stuff and get lots of money back from selling them because people are lazy and don't want to spend time farming the materials they need themselves. Mining and herbalism are a great way to make money... When i first started playing, i mined copper... I first started by putting 20 bars in at 50 silver... I noticed they sold VERY quickly, and barely anybody else was doing it... So i started putting up the price... Eventually i was pulling 5 gold for a stack of 20, it seemed like an endless source of easy money.. But then people picked up on it, and i was forced to lower the price time and time again... So many people were doing what i was doing, a 20 stack went down to less than 1g again, and i was back to square one...

But by this time i could mine the better stuff, mithril especially was a MASSIVE money maker when i was doing that... But again, people picked up on it... 30g a stack when i started, now they go for around 7g a stack...

Same with gold and silver. Finding a gold or silver mine back in the day was like a gift from god... Even if you only got 1 or 2 hits you knew it was an instant garanteed 4-5 gold... But again, gold and silver became worthless as people started copying what i did.

The best two ways to make money in WoW is simply play the game... Do quests... In the outland, you get 5g+ per quest, and beasties often drop stuff for you to sell, netherweave cloth especially drops a lot, that goes for 5g a stack... But the price will go down eventually.

My favourite way of making money is trotting. The most popular items are low-mid end cloth and leather items... Mages, Warlocks and ESPECIALLY Rogues are very abundant in my server, a lot of those types of characters... So you troll through the auction house at cloth and leather items... You see something awesome that isn't selling for much... Buy it and sell it for more than what you paid. It's a gamble but if you know what you're doing you'll make lotsa money.

But even i buy gold from the Chinese... Bought 1200 last week... Got 400 left...

[break3r]

What the hell is so important about virtual gold, that people are willing to pay actual money for it?

Because people can spend days/weeks/years trying to get something or use real life money to buy it and only waste a few hours of work.

For example:

Say 1000 gold takes 2 weeks to get.
Someone sells 1000 gold for $50 USD
I can make that in 3 hours of work.
You choose. 3 hours wasted or 2 weeks? Time is money.

great plan and everything your only flaw is that most of these turds you buy out will try and always out do you, and if your mats dont sell well your wasting money buy putting them up for auction.

thx everyone

[Muggin]

I've made a private wow server and I need some people to test it with me. Those interested will need WoW and The Burning Crusade v2.0.12.

To play, please pm me with the desired account user name and password.

Next, in the pm i give back will be the realmlist.wtf file

Access your World of Warcraft folder and replace the realmlist.wtf file that's already in there with the one I gave you. (Make sure to backup original to play on normal wow servers)

Once connected you will be a level 3 GM making you level 255 with the ability to create and wear any armor and weapons you want. All the way to tier 6. I'm doing this for testing purposes and I need to figure out what things are not working.

~This invitation is only for those that read this post. I only need the first 5-10 people that respond, Thank you.

[Anti Flag]

stop playing wow that game sucked.

[Zuken]

stop playing wow that game sucked.

thats it...thats your comment...really. btw you cant put a game in past tense if millions of people still play it

have you played WoW?

[break3r]

I played wow for 1 year and I say it sucks because you cant do anything by yourself. You have to rely on other people. If you cant play for raids you might as well not bother playing at all. So if you need to sleep or work, forget it.

well thats why blizz made 20 and 25 mans now instead of 40 because getting 40 people for a raid is quite hard to do in the first place. but you dont have to raid to do everything...you can 5 man most instances even in The Outlands. besides that, pvp gets some of the best gear in the game and i know pugs suck, but hey, its something you can do by yourself.

questing i'd say is also a kind of "by yourself thing" unless its a group quest which usually only requires two people...how hard is it to find another person really. grinding is a good way to make some extra spending cash and fast levels

half that the game can be soloed. raids and instances and a few quest are the only thing that can be 1 maned.

[Xerosnake90]

I have to say, a majority of Wow players are fucking pathetic. Actually paying 50 bucks for a game and than paying 15 bucks a month to play is just fucking stupid. If I was blizzard I'd laugh my ass off at how rich I am and how millions of people are getting owned every fuckin month. But hell, your choice.

I used to think the exact same thing. But since I'm playing (started late january, slow leveler though) I actually came back from that idea. You have to put the 15 bucks a month in perspective here. If you see it as a hobby or a spare time activity in general 15 bucks is not that much. Compare it to the expense of other hobbies and spare time fillers. Let's say you rent a movie every two days or you're paying for some movie channel or something, it has essentially the same price. Granted, if you only play like 10 hours a month, it is a complete waste of money.

I used to play Guild Wars because of the "buy and don't pay monthly fee" idea, but to be honest, compared to WoW the game sucks (and I played the three chapters for a bit more than a year).

However, I must say the fun factor of WoW (at least for me) has a lot to do with the guild you are in.

In any case, for me it beats watching TV :)


But even i buy gold from the Chinese... Bought 1200 last week... Got 400 left...

To be honest, I always had problems understanding this. It's a game dude :) I never had any money problems in WoW actually. Granted I'm not the richest person around, but I could get my mount at 40 with money to spare. My char is running around in mostly decent blue gear (he in his mid 40s so don't start about epics). Mostly because I save up money, get PvP gear and run instances for gear. Take my time to keep an eye on good selling potions (alchemist) and basicly playing the game. Personaly I wouldn't have a good gameplay experience if I wouldn't have played for the items I'm using.

But back on topic. For money making in WoW, be a bit patient and like said before, have at least one gathering profession in the begining. Also, install auctioneer add-on saves you a lot of effort in setting good prizes at AH. But if you want everything from the start, want a lot of gold and so on as fast as possible, I don't think the gameplay formula for WoW is suited for you and I don't think any MMORPG will suit you to be honest.

Just my thoughts....
