My Strategy
There are many ways to make gold in WoW:
Grinding, Tradeskills, Etc.
However none are as effective as Reselling . or “ Buying low and selling High ” .
This strategy can be applied to any MMORPG, I started doing it in Everquest years ago, it worked well for me back then and it has worked very well for me in WoW as well. I have made somewhere in the ballpark of 80,000g in the 7 months that I have been playing WoW spending only around 30 minutes per day on average buying and selling.
I sold a good portion of that gold, and the rest I spent on friends, and myself. I was able to keep all my (and a couple of my close friends) characters in the very best blues and purples as I leveled them (I had all the BoE tier 1 epics from molten core in my bank when I was in my 40's), buy mounts at 40, and epic mounts at 60, power level all my tradeskills to 300 in a matter of hours, even powerlevel many factions through turn-ins of BoE items purchased in AH. Allowing me to buy other races epic mounts among other rewards. I got all 1,200 tickets for darkmoon fair in an afternoon buying all the turning mats on AH. I also was able to create an army of twinks all decked out in the best gear, and best enchants money can buy. And I still have so much gold I don't even know what to do with it. And the best part is that it was SO EASY! I laugh every time I think of someone grinding for hours on end to make a few gold .
Ok enough of that lets talk about what we need to do to prepare to make some money!
First we need to downlaod and install a few indespensible tools:
Tools
Auctioneer
Download here:
http://auctioneeraddon.com/dl/
This is the most current version as of 8/28:
http://auctioneeraddon.com/dl/AuctioneerCo...rpack-3.6.1.zip
or http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=135853
Auctioneer is included with many UI mods already, but if you do not have it, go download it, it is the single most important tool to have for making gold in wow.
Auctioneer scans the auction hall and records all of the items and their prices into a searchable database for you. This allows you to do two things:
1) spot items that are listed for too low of a price
2) buy said items and sell for a profit.
Installation: Unzip the package so that the two folders 'auctioneer' and 'enhtooltip' reside in your
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns directory.
This is what the auction house windows looks like with Auctioneer succesfully installed:
Shopping list http://www.fizzwidget.com/shoppinglist/
Shopping list is an add-on that works in conjunction with Auctioneer; It allows you to create a list of items which you can search for in your auctioneer scans. This allows you to search your scans for specific items rather than just search by price.
Why is this good? Because some items are very rare, which means they are not listed in AH very often. If something is not listed often then Auctioneer may have never seen the item before in a scan and thus would not report it in your search results as a good buy. For example I have Antenna of Invigoration In my shopping list and it came up in a shopping list report one day for 150g. Auctioneer did not report that as a good buy because it had never seen it in a scan before. I knew ahead of time that the item was valuable which is why I had put it in my shopping list. I bought and resold that item the same day for 1,500g.
Shopping List is also useful for finding tradskill items you use a lot.
CT mail http://www.ctmod.net/downloads.ct
Download the CT_MailMod package. CT Mail Mod allows you to auto-open all the mail in your mailbox. Very handy when you are dealing with 100+ emails a day with gold from sold auctions, items to re-list from expired auctions, and items from new purchases.
Simply click 'open all' and it will automaticaly open all your mail and put the items into your bags.
Your mailbox will look like this with ctmail mod installed:
Lootlink http://www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/addons-...s-lootlink.html
Lootlink stores clickable links to every item that is ever linked in public channels or on people that you inspect. It is very handy for getting links to rare items to add to your Shopping List.
Bring up the lootlink window once it is installed by typing /ll or /lootlink
Linkeratior http://www.fizzwidget.com/linkerator/
Is a good alternative to lootlink also.
It keeps track of links that you see, then to retrieve the link you simply type the text version of it.
For example you woudl type [krol blade] and on your screen woudl actualy apear [Krol Blade]
as a clickable link
*update*
In order to install any of these mods in warcraft all you have to do is unzip them into:
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons
or whereever you have wow installed, that is the default location though.
If the addon does not apear when you log in to wow, you probably do not have it unzipped into the correct location. Check and make sure it is in the addons directory.
If you get an error saying that you do not have enough memory to run the mod, then do the following:
log into warcraft and at the character selection screen click the 'addons' button, then in the uper right hand corner notice the box labled 'Script Memory(MB)' I believe the default number is 48, change it to a few MB higher than what it is set for , say 64mb for example. then click OK and try to log in again.
