Love is in the Air

Love is in the Air. Valentine is coming and that means time to make some more gold to fall in love with!
You might have noticed already that this patch came with a new item: Lovely Charm Bracelet.
This obtain can be obtained by killing any mob that gives xp normally. You can obtain this Bracelet's if you have a Lovely Charm Collector's Kit wich can be obtained for the Peddlefeet-like npc's in every capital city. 
If you have the Kit you don't need to loot the mobs to obtain the bracelets, just by simple killing they will appear in your inventory. The reason people want this Bracelet is because you can turn them in for Love Tokens wich you need for the Achievements.
Some tips on grinding getting those:
Good luck with farming and hope u can cash in some coins!

Rerolling Alliance? Get some starting money

If you reroll one of the first things you need is bags, and bags cost money.

This specific post assumes you are an human of any class. What you want to do is pick up Skinning here at Helene Peltskinner and don't forgot to buy a skinning knife.
If you have played Alliance before the Stonefield Farm shouldn't be an new name for you. This map shows the place I mean:

 

The mobs that are there are Stonetusk Boar's wich have a 75% of dropping a Chunk of Boar Meat wich often sells for 3-10g per stack on the Auction House. Combining this with skinning this should yield you an unbelievable amount of gold for a ~ level 5-10 character. Don't forgot to buy some 16 slotters for the money, because bag space = gold.


Pristine Black Diamond

 Sorry for not posting in two days, real life was very busy, but here I am with an item wich is out for some time and know really worth alot.

Pristine Black Diamond I am talking about. This item is needed for the achievement Insane in the Membrane.
The worth on most servers is around 300g, but I've even bought them for 1g - 100g and sold up to 600g.
So really add this item to your Auctioneer Snatch List or Auctionator Buy List and watch it daily, every under the 100g should be bought right away!

What if the ICC is done and Cataclysm is coming?

It won't take extremely long or Icecrow Citadel will be done and the Lich King will be killed. When the last wing opens there will be a rush for all kinds of raid supplies, Flasks, Gems and enchants, demand will exceed supply on alot of servers. But what when the rush on all that is gone? Will the prices go down or will they keep steady because people want to level their alts to ICC gear too? My guess would be that prices would slowly go down till they reach a down point when Cataclysm release date is announced.

When Cataclysm finally hits I suggest you to sell all the new cloth (like Frostweave in WotLK) and try to save as much herbs and ores as u can. If you are on a high progressed server there soon will be a rush to all the raid supplies. I remember the beginning of WotLK when I bought Frost Lotus for 5g each, they are worth 60g now. Same goes for the new Titanium Ore. Raw mats for raid stuff will be cheap in the beginning and will slowly go up and cloth and meat etc will slowly go down like it was with WotLK. This is what I think atleast

What is the right price?

Lot's of people wonder this when they start playing on the Auction House.
Shortest way to tell this is this: The price at wich you can afford making profit on the item.
Let's take a deeper look into that. For example let's take Glyphs. You are an smart Auctioneer and you buy your raw mats always very cheap, resulting into a total cost of 1,5g per Glyph to make, yet glyphs vary from 5-100g each. Your profit might be higher if you post at 50g but the volume you sell most likely will be lower.
My personal favorite method will be a deep undercut in such a case. We saw the costs are 1,5g, in this case I would post 1 or 2 glyphs of each for around 5g each. This way your competition might think you are just a noob who just wanted a quick sale and the will buy you out to get the price back up to 50g or even 100g. You just made 6g on your two glyphs, but there are over 300 glyphs, that's 1800g profit by just looking dumb (and yes, these situations really happen). If you do this daily, keeping the price low your competion will most likely will give up wich will give u a lone right to sell, keeping the price so low will people make your stuff buy earlier because a respec will be alot cheaper and since you have no competitors or only few you will also sell in a larger volume. This method is hated by alot of people, that's why you should have a bank alt to do this ;)
Also make sure u have a minimum margin, like for example 20g on Epic Gems or maybe 3g per Glyph, know the prices of your raw mats and go get rich.

Get the maximum out of your profession

An important factor to get the maximum amount of gold is to get the maximum amount out of your professions.
Professions often have little niches wich still can yield alot of gold.
Here's a quick summary:
  • Alchemy
    First thing you think about will be Flasks. Ever considered to transmute Primal Might, Titanium or Arcanite Bar?
  • Blacksmithing
    You won't need the iLvl 264 patterns to get some money out of this. Hot sellers are Eternal Belt Buckle or Titanium Chains 
  • Enchanting
    Prices of Infinite Dust or Greater Cosmic Essence very low on your server? Try to get some Arcane Dust, this guide might help you find stuff to DE: Click here
    Also making scrolls is a good idea
  • Inscription
    Too much AH campers and can't sell any glyphs? Try making Runescroll of Fortitude or Vellums 
  • Jewelcrafting
    Alot of undercutters taking epic gems to a low level? Try green or blue gems, often abonden markets or low populated markets with still a high demand. Also read my Guaranteed money with Jewelcrafting post 
  • Leatherworking
    No need for the high level patterns. Leg armors or making green stuff for disenchant will be a good idea
  • Tailoring
    Also no need for the high level patterns. Netherweave bag sell like hot cakes. Try to buy out all Netherweave Cloth for a X amount of gold so your competition will have a hard time making bags as cheap as you will do.
  • Mining
    You won't always need to farm. Saronite Ore is often dumped cheap on the Auction House by Chinese farmers, consider smelten it to bars and maybe make Eternal Belt Buckles of it

Gearscore, yes or no?

A total different post today, Gearscore. Most likely know to you all, heard in /2 whole day long.
Personally I hate Gearscore, the only thing the gearscore addon does is making a sum of your item levels. This means that people with high item level healing and dps gear would be earlier invited because their gearscore is higher than a normal player with average gear and knows how to play.
Also the Gearscore addon does not calculate gems and enchants. So if you have Ulduar 25 gear completely enchanted and gemmed you won't get into a ICC 10 group
My way of people that ask for Gearscore is like this: LFM ICC10, you must have done it before and already have all the drops so we can disenchant to epics.
What wonders me is the people that ask for Gearscore and stats. Why would you ask for stats if there gearscore is 5400?

My favorite addon for Gear is the Elitist Group Addon. This addon also calculates gems and enchants and sees if the gear is right for your spec, so no healers with tanking gear wich you have a chance of getting in your Gearscore group.
















What are your thoughts on Gearscore?

Have more than one character.

One of the most important things to make an enormous amount of gold on World of Warcraft is to have more then one character. You can only take two professions per character means you can only expand in two markets. If you have various character means you can do various professions daily's.
Let's take Jewelcrafting and Alchemy. If you have 5 level 65+ characters with all Jewelcrafting/Alchemy you could do the following:
  • 5x Icy prism = 5x chance on epic gem
  • 5x Daily Dragon Eye = 500g per day
  • 5x Epic gem transmute = 750g per day without the proc. If you have 1 Elixir Master and rest Transmute you could even make more gems per day. I take 150g per epic gem, but with your Jewelcrafter you could make gems that would probably sell for 200g each that would be 1000g per day doing almost nothing.
This is an guaranteed 1500g per day wich is 10,500g per week only spending 30 minutes per day. That's an average of 2300g per hour!

I don't really recommend taking only Alchemy and Jewelcrafting but try to split all crafting and gathering professions between your alts so you can compete in any market.

Below vendor cost on the Auction House.

Another make some guarenteed money post, can be much, can be a little depending on what you are used to, awesome if you just rerolled and need some gold.

Do a fast getall scan with Auctioneer (http://auctioneeraddon.com/)
Open your Auctioneer window and press the >> button








Do a vendor search with Auctioneer
Your next step will be to click on the search tab on the bottom.
Then click on Vendor and click search in the left bottom.




















Purchase all
The last step is to purchase all items, if you have Allow bids like I do you won't have the item right away. Auctioneer automaticly chooses to buy out or bid so don't worry about it.




















Spam the purchase in the left bottom to bid/buy all. You can use this macro to confirm Auctioneer that you want to buy:
/run if (AucAdvancedBuyPromptYes) then AucAdvancedBuyPromptYes:Click() end

Guaranteed money with Jewelcrafting.

You have Jewelcrafting at skill level 350 and want to level it higher and make money?
Here's a little trick.

You will need:
  • Huge Citrine, Sun Crystal or Bloodstone for 1g or less each
  • Eternal Earth for 5g or less each
You are gonna make:
Why these?
Let's do some math. Mats for each are 1 gem and 2 Crystallized Earth (5g/5 = 1g per 2)
If you get these mats for the prices I listed the costs will be 2g per Jewelry, but look at the vendor price, 3g14s wich is 1g14s per. This is always guaranteed money unless your vendor doesn't like you anymore.

Sell-O-Matic.
Download this addon: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/sell-o-matic.aspx
Now go to Esc > Interface > Addons and click Add item and add the items there to auto sell them to a vendor. Craft you bag full, open a vendor and auto profit :)











With a big supply of gems and Eternal Earth you should be able to make atleast 500g per hour.

Goodluck

    Massive Gold Blueprint review


    Massive Gold Blueprint


    Overview

    What is the Massive Gold Blueprint?
    Simple said, in my opinion of the most advanced, updated, complete and detailed World of Warcraft gold making guide?
    And not just a guide, a whole serious with over 30 hours (atleast!) of video material!

    This guide works with Pipelines. What is a Pipeline you ask?
    A Pipeline is an item you know exactly what the price is, how often it sells, what the demand is, when it sells and what the supply is.
    Let's take a look at this video to make it all a bit more clear:


    Not convinced? This guide also makes clear that undercutting is just a myth. You don't need to undercut to get gold, you need to know what people are willing to pay, and they won't care if the item is 5g cheaper then they willing to pay. If they are willing to pay 20g, you will sell the item for 20g even though people will undercut the item till is at 10g. And that is excactly the moment you will buy. And no this is not setting up a monopoly, a monopoly guy will buy all items out and will try to sell the item for 30g, but less people are willing to buy then because it will be better for them to farm or let a friend craft that specific item. Let's take a look at another of the so many video's:






    Another great thing is that you don't need a level 80, don't need to have professions and don't need to farm!

    That should have convinced you, didn't it?
    Here's a last best deal!

    Rerolling on another server? Pick up Enchanting!

    'Enchanting you say?' Yes I did, most people say it's the most expensive profession to level and they are right, it is extremely expensive to powerlevel, mostly because the pre-wotlk are extremely expensive now. Let's see what we will need for this:
    • An level 5 character with enchanting (a character that you plan on leveling with)
    • The Auctioneer Addon (http://auctioneeraddon.com/)
      Follow the instructions on that site to download it, by the time you read this the direct link might be outdated already. And make sure it's installed when you start this.
    • A couple gold wich you can gain with farming some boar meat or mine a few ores.
    Doesn't sound to complicated does it?

    Next step will be the Auction House. Walk to the Auction House with your character and open the Auctioneer.
    Click the double arrow (>>) button on top of the Auctioneer window twice to do a fast scan of all items and takes an average of the items posted, it is wise to do this a couple days in a row to make sure you didn't accidently scanned some overpriced items.







    Now go to the Search tab in the bottom of the Auctioneer window and click on disenchant.











    Here you see a couple things:
    • Use costum levels
      This an important one, take the upper slider for the minimum disenchanting needed for the item and the bottom one to your maximum skill, 250 in my case.
    • Allow bids - Allow Buy outs
      A little explanation on this one. Let's say you have an item that disenchants in 5 Strange Dust for average (The Auctioneer addon knows this) and 5 Strange Dust sell for 5g. The item is priced at 3,8g buyout and 1g bid. If you don't have Allow bids enabled it would simply ignore this item, but if you have it enabled it would almost automaticly bid for you.
    • Min discount
      Continue the above example. Let's say that the item was priced on 3,5g wich an average disenchant of 5 Strange Dust worth 5g. If you still have the discount at 50% it would ignore this item, but if you put it at like 80% it would have found it, but since Auctioneer only knows the averages of an item it could also disenchant in 3 or 4 Strange Dust, wich would only break you even when you sold it on the Auction House. So just keep it at 50% and you will be fine.
    The last step would be to click the 'Search' bottom in the left bottom. After clicking on it it should give you a window looking like this:












    Now you want to clear out the Auction House by bidding and buy out all the cheap stuff. Auctioneer automaticly chooses bid or buyout so don't worry about that. Then after you spammed Purchase you might wanna put the following macro on your action bar and spam it too so you don't have to click the yes button over and over to confirm that you actually wanna buy.
    /run if (AucAdvancedBuyPromptYes) then AucAdvancedBuyPromptYes:Click() end
    Well your last step would be disenchant everything and sell it on the Auction House, make sure you don't flood to much and put up for 48 hour since you have no fees.
