Is there anyway in which I can make more than 20k gold?

[Deleted]

I am not a greedy player but I have never had more than 10k gold in my entire time on World of Warcraft, at this precise moment I have 3k spread across 3 level 85's. Here are my character's:

Warrior: 525 Engineering, 525 Skinning
Mage: 525 Mining, 350 tailoring
Paladin: 250 JC, 200 mining

so i'm just wondering is there any tips on how to make it past 20k anything to look for on the AH which may be below 3k which I can sell for a profit?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Also my first post on this forum

Edit: Also I play on Frostmane EU.

cba to delete parts of post but i think the post should stay, but please read Attendances post proving my math is flawed cus i didnt quite think it through (IM WRONG HE IS RIGHT!)
a stack of elementium ore goes for 104g yesterday when i check ah. i think you get atleast 5 ores per node, and atleast 1 node per minute with a 310%flying.
so 4 minutes = 100g
20,000/100=200minutes.
so 3 hours and 20 minutes farming ores to get 20k.
depends per server, but you might get better nodes too, or less in totalt, but i think this math can help you

IMPORTANT AS FUCK!

noticed you're leveling a JC. get him up as quickly as you can with the things you mine. you wont have to spend more then those 3 k + mined mats to get 525. and JC+mining right now will net me 20k per hour if i do it right. so please, get jc maxed.

That sounds like a very good idea, I think Elementium ore goes quite well on my server, thanks Catan

nps another tip (way to late now and wont help you before another 8-12 months) stack up on ores, gems and every kind of mats you can get before a new patch comes.

in 4.2, ele ores went for 10g or lower a stack. now they're 10x higher, and if you prospect them with jc they can make you atleast 15x your starting 10g back. ( get the gems, cut them etc)
some guys spend 200k on mats, and made more then 600k and possibly 1 million within the first week.

Where did you learn to do math - there is no way you can make 20k gold in just over 3 hours farming ore.


5 ore per node (seems high to me - but maybe you're lucky) + 1 node per minute (sounds about right if the bots are not active) = 5 ore per minute or 300 ore per hour = 15 stacks per hour.

15 stacks x 104g per stack = 1,560 gold per hour

20,000 / 1560 = approx. 12 hours and 50 minutes

(a stack of elementium ore goes for 104g yesterday when i check ah. i think you get atleast 5 ores per node, and atleast 1 node per minute with a 310%flying.
so 4 minutes = 100g
1 HOUR = 60 MINUTES = 60min/4min = 15 stacks/hour = 1500g
20,000/100=200minutes. (Only if you can earn 100g per minute - your own math said it would take 4 minutes so multiply your result by 4 and you get 12-13 hours)
so 3 hours and 20 minutes farming ores to get 20k.)

[Martinussen]

well my math on the nodes could easily be off, cus i havent mined since the patch that gave you all ores in one mine back in icc
seems like you're calculating close to 4x higher then i do, but you also say that im "imaginay mining" 4times more then i should/could, so i bet you're right, but the rest of my post is true as my dick is red.

[Constantino]

you went from 4min earning 100g to doing 20,000/100g=200minutes...

no, that would be 200 STACKS, and each stack takes 4minutes. IE 800Minutes. which is 13+ hours, and very optomistic on the rate of nodes and ore/node.

Farming is a surefire way to make gold, no doubt about it. painfully boring and relatively inefficient in a gold/hourofyourtime kind of way... but it works in all servers for any toon without any special addons or other learning curve.

you would get some volatiles... so thats something too. match herbalism with the mining and you'll be most efficient.

Exaggerate much? Even when you do it right it won't earn you that much, not ever.

To the OP. Your profs aren't really the sort that will make you loads without putting in effort. I mean you've got mining there, so that's farm farm farm, and even then the bots will come along with there 200 stacks and undercut you. JC is a good one to have if you've got enchanting. At the minute i'm (and a lot of others) using JC, Alchemy, and Enchating to make gold, and lots of it. Buy up loads of cheap obsidium ore, prospect it and transmute the carnelians into ruby's, make JC rings and necks with all the other uncommon gems from the prospecting, and disenchant those and sell the celestial essences and heavenly shards. That's the best and quickest way to achieve what you want, you can turn 5k worth of ore into 20k profit in one evening, though you don't have the means to do so with those profs. Best advice would be to take up some new professions.

It varies from server to server. What you need to do is choose a couple of things you might be able to grind, before you grind look at the AH for a week or two and see if they are selling, and also what the prices go to. Often the prices of ore etc go stupidly cheap during the night but are expensive during the day. If ore/herbs are expensive on your server, grind them and sell durin the day, if bots overrun your server making the prices too cheap for you to bother grinding them, just buy them from the bots late at night and make potions/flasks/jc bracelets and diss them. Biggest Tip is try a few things, if you get your gold from only 1 source and the market crashes for a few days/weeks than it's a bit bad but if you can switch to doing something else for a while it's really cool. Biggest way to make money is not to spend it. Don't buy enchants from the AH, check if raw gems are cheaper than the ones u need, take advantage of your guildies to enchant you with your mats cut your gems. I don't mind doing any of this for guildies because it saves so much gold, sometimes enchants that take 2 dust and a lesser celestial are over 200g on the ah.

Just do dailies... farm ore ... that's the low risk approach.

FISHING. like you say, you aint greedy, neither am i, so this works for me. pick up fishing, go to TB and stay in the non pvp zone. get into the river and swim through it fishing up all the fathom eel. i spent about an hour over 2 days fishing them up and made 4k. sells for 200g a stack. doesnt take long. nets some cash at very little effort. also herb if you herbalist.

[Darkfriend]

None of these are any good. Sure they make cash, but very slow and not very interesting. But none of your professions are any good for cash. Get BS on at least one toon. PVP sets and buckles are good cash. I've sold ~57k worth of belt buckles alone since 4.3.

combine it with (dis)enchanting and alchemy (transmuter) and ull easily do that. ofc u wount get stuff sold in 1 hour, but for 1 hours work you can easily make 20k from jc.

buy 80 stacks of elementium ore, prospect it, transmute carnelians to infernos, make rings/necks with teh green gems(nightstones etc.)
then disenchant those, transmute infernos cut the remains and put on ah. if its a decently populated server, you will get atleast 70% sold without re-undercutting, and just letting it stay on ah for 12h.

if u wanna make extra much, then buy the ores on monday or sunday, maybe 100-200 stacks depending on how much u can afford and how much there is on ah. do the enchanting transmuting and cutting, then wait until wednesday around 14-15 on the afternoon, then put it up on ah, and ull get rich

made alot of money like this, then i realised i didnt really have anything to buy anymore, lol. got all the valor items for my alts, got all the mounts i can buy, and there are no boe's worth using from ds, so atm im just spending it on epic gems making like 10-20k/week when im boored, but its not that fun when u have nothing to save up to:P

edit: irt darkfriend: beltbuckles are indeed a good profit too. much better at start of 4.3 though, nowdays it has slowed down ALOT.

[Deleted]

make an alt, get it geared enough for heroics and/or LFR, farm VP to cap after a patch comes out- sell the BoEs. there is always people who will pay shit loads to get the epics early.
if you have multiple alts and can be bothered to get them capped for like 2weeks after a patch its a very good way of making gold.you'd prob seen them selling for 25-30k on trade sometimes. not bad for a couple of dungeons.

keep track of incoming changes like changes to drop rates, and stuff like maelstrom shatter and you can make quite a bit. you'd be surprised how many people didn't know about maelstrom shatter. made quite a bit selling power torrent and other enchants after dragon soul came out.(had something stupid like 50 maelstroms stockpiled from troll heroics..)

I'm not insanely rich but I make enough to get by by doing this stuff and I don't spend obsence amounts of time farming stuff

kinda realise now this is in professions lol. yes transmuting gems you prospect is a good way, make sure u pick up transmutation master talents too. sometimes u can get x3 inferno ruby etc. prices are high since the epics arrived too

everyone and their sister is doing the ore shuffle and neck DE...

narrow margins on most servers.

I know you can make lots of gold like that, but the guy i quoted was talking about farming ore and having mining and JC as profs in his post. With the right professions (the ones you mention) you don't even need to farm to make lots of gold. And as i eluded to earlier, with the amount of bots around at the minute gathering professions are becoming worthless.

[dexx]

Do you have a friend on Wow who can help you? Make an alt on his account on the opposite faction. Look through both faction's auction houses for items that differ hugely in price. Buy the cheap ones and use the neutral AH to sell it across to the other faction. Now sell it for good profit. Companion pets in particular work well.

[Mawler]

Pick up herbalism, get it to 525, fly to Uldum and fly circles around the place mining Pyrite, Elementium, while picking Cinderbloom and Whiptail. In an hour or so I can have 20 stacks of Elementium Ore and sell them for 99g buyout each. Then on top I have my Pyrite which sells for 150g a stack. Lots of money in that!

[Jackkernaut]

If you have Skinning and LW you can farm Grim Batol and make DPS leg enchants, they sell quite well.
