Easter break

Well, i decided to take a few days off from WoW during the Easter holly days. So most probably my next post will be on the Tuesday or so.

Until then i wish you good luck in your adventures around Azeroth and happy Easter.

What a business

Today i felt the competition... hard. I was outbid in like a few minutes after i bided. It seems that slowly the bid days are over, however i am trying to gather as much as i can to start putting up for some crafted epics that sell. I am making a list of them and hopefully i will make some progress in that direction. Anyhow a little over 100g difference since the last day. I was hoping for a lot more.

It is weird to see a market so dead on some servers and one so active like this one. A fact stands constant no matter the server: There are and there will be allways dumb people.

One thing i like about auctioneer is that you can search for items that can be sold to vendors for profit. And i am still to find the server that does not bring at least 5 items to be sold for profit to vendors :) . Most of them are old Jewelcrafting stones like Star of Elune, Nightseye, etc. But it is amazing how some put 20 Stars of Elune for 20g BO and they sell for 60 g to vendor. Check out the Wowhead price for them. AH price 2g, vendor is 3g . Most common price i see is 4 - 5g a piece, but there are still stupid people that will undercut under vendor price just to sell it to a player. I guess they dont really like right clicking a vendor or something :)

Tomorrow i am going to try something funny in regards to above stupidity. Untill then have a great evening and come again tomorrow.

Best wishes,

Nice day

Well, i know.. i play with addons way to much, but still i can't help it. As you can see i am trying a font addon (ClearFont2) and while is working like a charm for every other addon it doesn't seem to like BigPicture.

Well, you can see how this turns out. There is a total of 453 g total on this character. There is another 50 or so on the one selling pets, and 20 and something on the Death Kinght.

So far so good, but i did some mistakes that brought me back a little. I am now forced to sell arround 5 stacks of Nightmare Wine and i am not happy about it. This could drag me back a lot, however they will sell eventually.

A few tips to anyone who wants to start this:
1. No matter how low you start dont get to cocky when you reach like 2 - 300g and jump into buying all the stuff auctioneer tells you would make profit on. Think!
2. Try to bid more and buyout less at the begining. It is more time consuming but is much more awarding.
3. Go for things that sell like warm bread: Raw materials
4. Try profit from proffession made items . Find one that sells good, and buy slowly all the materials as long as they are underpriced. Pay 10 for a craft and make profits of over 50 - 60% .

Well that's it for today. With some luck i shall get arround 1000g in 3 days.

Total Wealth - 265g

So i made it. Over 200g total in just 2 days.

Auctioneer is improving getting more accurate data with each scan. However no ground shaking deals so far, but since the server is a full one, i would expect other "business man" to interfere.

I am trying in the same time to level up 2 professions on the Death Knight. I will reaveal which are those later on :)

In the mean time the target will be a character total of minimum of 400g by tomorrow evening, which should be attainable.

This is arround of 15 - 20 minutes / day scan, bid and post job, and as long as you have the right tools (addons) and an open mind is easy as cake.

I am using the following addons:
Auctioneer
MarketWatcher
EasyMail

and some other i can't remember right now.

Until tomorrow,

Not much

Well , i manage to reach a hundred and something gold. Not very happy about it, but still.

I took the DK to Thrall (last DK quest) and then i parked him on Ogrimmar. He will buy stuff from all over azeroth :D

The booty bay orc is a female warlock and she is doing fine so far. Sold one Crimson Snake and made about 8g profit over it. Still there is much to work on that side.

The Thunderbluff Tauren is a druid, on which i will gather all the gold. He is doing fine so far, but still the money are still to come.

Hopefully by tomorrow i will reach 200 and something :)


Untill then,

Home sweet home?

Today i am creating a new character on a server i dont have any other characters and will start my experiment. Basically what i want to do is to maximize through concret calculation the amount of gold i can make through a month of playing.
The process of doing so has several steps:
1. Create a DK level up to 58 until i can get all FP
2. Create a level 1 character Orc and move it to Booty Bay
3. Create a level 1 Tauren and move it to Thunder Bluff

The DK will gather all the stuff i need from vendors: Pets, Recipes, Rare Items, etc
The Orc will just sit in Booty Bay and sell horde only stuff and buy cheap alliance only stuff
The Tauren will just sit in Thunder Bluff and scan AH with Auctioneer 2 - 3 times a day

I will also post each day a screenshot taken from the morning of the Auctioneer estimates (how many bids, how many auctions, how much gold worth, etc)

Wish me luck :)
