I have a week left of game time left before i stop playing until cataclysm comes out. I just spent 5k on epic flying mount and now im skint:cry: Any1 good some good tips on how to grind some good money?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
pick up mining,skinning. Fly around gathering said materials in your epic mount. Put them in AH. Profit.
Yeah mining is the real business. People will pay mad money for that Saronite.Xavier_12
Actually, saronite is sold at dirt cheap price. I've seen 30-35g buyout prices, and a stack of 20 bars is vendored for 25g.
You can make much more money with enchanting, inscription or jewelcrafting.
Also, if you don't dislike PvP too much, purple gems are worth 120-150 gold each and you can buy them for 10k honor.
I know how to make almost effortless gold. And I can say it ain't in skinning or mining. I tried that and it is very time consuming. I was thinking, there got to be a way to make money without wasting alot of time grinding some veins and skinning mobs. And I as player was a very good grinder. I even grinded over 1000 saronite in one day, but the fact was that it took more then 5 hours to obtain, surely not effortless. Tried skinning, when with my paladin to borean, taking massive amounts of those bulls near the horde starting place. Wasn't worth the time, even tho I got alot of skinning materials.
If you have the time, then mining is probably what you want to do. Using gathermate (or whatever the addon was, some database on veins.) and routes addon, search for info how to config it. At that point you'll have a fast route that goes through alot of veins in smartest possible way.
The real deal is in AH. You can make tons of gold by just being AH smart, but it takes some time to learn and you need to play with scanners and stuff. I wasn't really into that, too complex.
JC and enchanting(on main or alts). If you want to get rich, that is the way to do it. I bought my stuff from the AH and the streets/general chat, no mining or something dull like that. The thing you want to do is these:
[Bloodstone Band] - 1 Bloodstone, 10 Crystallyzed Earth
[Crystal Chalcedony Amulet] - 1 Chalcedony, 10 Crystallyzed Earth
[Crystal Citrine Necklace] - 1 Huge Citrine, 10 Crystallyzed Earth
[Sun Rock Ring] - 1 Sun Crystal, 10 Crystallized Earth
Then you make a macro:
/disenchant
/use Bloodstone Band
/useChalcedony Amulet
/use Citrine Necklace
/use Sun Rock Ring
At first I bough saronite and prospected my gems. But I found that it wasn't really worth it, since you would get shadow crystal and whatnot. So I just directly started buying the trash gems that I wanted. And these bastards was cheap. So I bought Blood, chalc, cit and sun from AH, including eternal earths for crystallyzed earth. I made some buying macros, like buying blood, chalc, cit, sun 1g each and eternal earths like 5g each. (the macro wasn't that simple as explained here) Well the prices varied from 1g to 2g for the gems, but I prefered to buy for 1g or 1.5g and people sold. As for the eternal earth, the price varied alot on my server, but it was always a good profit anyhow, sometimes the prices was 10g each, which was bad. I never went buying over 10g for a eternal earth. If you are lucky on your server, the prices can be minimal. 1000g is a good starting money for this.
So when you got your mats, you just simply make your jewels, send em to your alt with enchanting or do it yourself. You will make alot of these, so I suggest having a enchanting alt, I had lv 62 dk with enchanting. You only need 350 in enchanting to disenchant. What you get from these varies, 1 to 2 infinite dust or 1 to 2 Lesser Cosmic Essence and lesser dream shard? Don't remember the name. The lesser ones you can combine into greater or to a dream shard if you like. All you need to know is how to sell these, know the prices of these enchanting mats, it aint that hard. I usually sold 20 infi dust for 80 to +100g. All depended on where the prices was. Somehow enchanting is something that is use alot and the mats aren't that easy to obtain, that what makes it a good market to sell.
Sometimes I made over 2kg in one night, of course that is excluding the expenses for the mats. But trust me, I always made more money then what I bought the mats for. This can be time consuming, but it doesn't require you to spend loads of hours to get 1000 saronite from mining. Once I disenchanted for 45 mins, that was some crazy batch I had at that time. I had loads of enchanting mats at that point, over 2000 infinite dust.
I don't play WoW anymore, you can read about it in this thread if interested. (http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=27295916&msg_id=321534184#321534184) I made around 160kg by this method. But that is calced for about 8 months. And I usually only made money when I needed.
Actually, I didn't see that you wanted to make money 1 week, mining and skinning, though I would only focus on mining. JC and Ench was more if you wanted to make money more effortless, but if you only have 1 week left, I don't see the point in going with JC and ench.
JC and enchanting have the highest general profit margins at 80, but cost a **** to skill up. Mining, skinning, and herbalism are easy ways to make money while you level up. Blacksmithing and engineering allow you to make HUGE profits on a few items, but the mats for them are somewhat hard to come by.
I'm. How to make gold? Stop playing WoW, use the money to invest in Mining, in Africa. You might make some real gold.rmfd341
Those foreign "investment opportunities" are scams. You'd be just as much the fool to spend your WoW money on that kind of thing.
1. Professions: mining and enchanting
2. Dailies and mining, as someone said...simply by doing the Icecrown dailies and Sholozar Basin dailies (for oracles rep), you can get a boatload of saronite, gems, and titanium by proximity. Add to that the few hundred gold dailies yield in reward and loot, and its a good formula.
3. Enchanting is tough to level, but if you just grind various dungeons at low level for greens, you can level it to 400 pretty easy. Once you get to 400, just do Northrend dailies, or even buy cheap green items and disenchant them. It just takes time.
4. Dont vendor, use auction house for everything. EVERYTHING. If you can make 10 silver on AH versus 5 silver vendoring it, put it on AH...it adds up.

Dear Sir or Madame,
I am an exiled African prince of the nation of Nigeria. My family and I are requesting a contribution of 5,000.00 dollars so we can go in and mine for gold. This investment will have a return of over over 5,000,000.00 dollars! Please send it in an envelope, cash only.
Play the AH. It takes certain time to get used to, but believe me it's worth it. Throw in mining skinning etc. to make an extra few bucks.
If you like to PvP then you also have the choice to obtain honor points to buy uncut gems(10k honor requirement per gem) and selling them on the AH. Doing daily heroics and raid weeklies can also provide emblems of frost to trade in for primordial saronites(23 emblems of frost requirement) which sells really well on the ah. Either of these does not require a profession to accomplish.
Tip: Be careful not to flood or amplify the ah with the exact same item due to you risk the chance of really lowering the value of that specific item.
Undercutting is also important to obtain quick profits or even a profit in some cases. But by undercutting you have to avoid selling a item to low compared to what others are selling the item for because people will then try to undercut your item lowering the value of that specific item.
Nevertheless, gold is quite easy to make TC once you understand how the AH works. With the advice I shared to you I personally managed enough gold to buy a Travelers Mammoth, Sulfuron ingots for my legendary hammer ect. while still enjoying PvP simultaneously. Marvelous!
