I know i keep saying I'm only going to post once a week, but I've been doing a whole lot of nothing and i find enjoyment in writing. So I'm back with a small list of guidelines i found helpful to follow when i was starting out in the Auction House. In the video above i go over these briefly(sorry if i was too quiet, it was late and people were sleeping), but here they are for those of you who want to be able to read them at your own pace.
Spending
Don't be afraid to spend 80-90% of yout total gold.
But make sure to leave yourself enough gold in reserve to recover from a mistake.
What do i buy?
Anything commonly used in professions.
Other needed items like herbs, ore, enchanting materials, and cloth for example.
When should i scan? How often?
Try to scan at least once a day, but if possible three scans daily is what i find to be most successful.
Spread out your scans! Three scans five minutes apart won't do much good in the long run.
Remember don't neglect your guild and main character to scan the Auction House, scanning comes after after those things.
Common Myths
"Making gold using the Auction House is time consuming and hard!" Really this isn't true, once you learn the methods used to make gold you can repeat them daily to make more and more gold.
"I need a lot of gold to successfully use the Auction House!" Again, this is just simply untrue. On my level 25 druid i turned 5 gold into around 2,300 gold in just one week, and that was mainly using the Netherweave Cloth guide i posted earlier.
"I need to be a high level to make a lot of gold!" Nope! Just remember what i said about my level 25 druid!
Should i spend what I've made so far?
As a general rule i wait until I've made at least 1000 goldbefore i start to spend any money on things i want.
Don't spend your money as you make it! You won't get anywhere!
Have Fun!
Don't treat the Auction House as if it's a job,do it only when you feel like it.
Take breaks if you get bored of the routine you've started, the Auction House won't go anywhere!
So there you go everyone, i hope that helps if you were having trouble deciding how much you should spend, or how often you should scan. I'll be back soon with another update!
Well i figured for my second post i would start with a simple tip to make you some gold using the Auction House. Very frequently i use this method to make upwards of 50g in return for less than 10-20 minutes of my time. Before you go and try this, take note of how much gold you currently have so you can see how much you really make. So here is what you need to do:
Frequently check the Auction House for FULL STACKS(20) of Netherweave Cloth
Buy any complete stack priced under 3 gold. Do not buy any stacks priced exactly at 3 gold or you will make no profit.
After purchase, take all the cloth you bought and turn them in to Heavy Netherweave Bandage (you will need a First Aid skill of at least 325 to make these)
Vendor all of the bandages you just made
Simple as that.
Ill be back with another tip in one week, until then, use these tips to make more gold!
Hey there, many people search the web for easy ways to make gold in WoW, and 90% of the time you find sites that want you to pay ridiculous amounts of money to view there guide. Well i say screw that, you don't even need those long drawn-out guides to make great gold in WoW.
It's really simple, ill post here once a week with a new way you can make gold in just a few minutes each day. Some weeks i won't have a new method and ill update you on ones we previously went over, but i am hoping to keep you as up to date as possible on my own gold amounts. So let's get this going.
The first thing your going to need is Auctioneer Advanced its an add on for WoW that will make your gold making 10 times easier. Go download it at www.AuctioneerAddon.com .
Now that you have the key piece of the puzzle, log onto WoW and create a new character, walk him/her to a city with an auction house, open it up and you'll notice a bunch of new buttons on your Auction House window, ignore them all and click Scan. It's going to take on average 13 minutes for the scan to complete so continue reading this as it scans. Ill break down what your going to do from here in steps:
Everyday log onto this new character and scan the Auction House, do this when you have the time you don't want to be rushed.
After the scan is done click the SEARCH tab at the bottom of the window, a bunch of new stuff comes up, here is what you need to do to get everything going, you only have to do this once and it gets saved.
On the left side click SEARCHERS from there select VENDOR. In the main box set the minimum profit to 1 copper. Leave the "Min. Discount" alone. Also make sure only ALLOW BUYOUT is checked, you don't want the ALLOW BIDS on.
Click DISENCHANT on the left side. Set the Minimum Profit to 1 gold.Check the "Use Custom Levels" box, and then drag the "Minimum Skill" bar until it hits 300.
Next drag the "Maximum Skill" bar all the way to 375. Make sure ONLY "Allow Buyouts" is checked, and also check the box next to "Subtract Auction Fees"
At the top of the current window type in a name, something like "Main Scan" and click Save.
Your done. Everything is now ready to begin making decent amounts of gold. I say "decent" because your not going to be instantly rich, our first goal is to hit a couple thousand gold so we can begin more actively using auctioneer. "So now what? You said i am ready to go, but what do i do?" Well, if you recently scanned the Auction House then go to the search tab, click Searchers, then Vendor and click SEARCH.
The search is done, click the PURCHASE button at the bottom of the screen until there are no more items in the list.
Click YES on all those boxes that pop up, its just confirming you want to buy all those items
Go to your mailbox, take all the items out. Go to the nearest vendor and SELL THEM ALL.
After that you probably made a grand total of 1-3 gold. Not much but doing this a few times daily adds up. The next thing your going to do is go back to the Auction House, open it up and go back to the Search tab, this time though, your going to select DISENCHANT from the left side. Once you do, click SEARCH.
Wait for items to populate the list and sort them by price, lowest to highest by clicking the tiny "buyout" box at the top of all the items.
Buy any items that are UNDER 6g buyout. Buy them all, don't be scared.
Collect these items from the mail and stash them in your bank.
Find an enchanter that is level l 300 or higher and ask him to DISENCHANT all those items, offer him a small tip in return, but don't go too high or it will affect your profits.
Afterward you should have a good amount of "INFINITE DUST" ,"LESSER COSMIC ESSENCE" and on occasion "GREATER COSMIC ESSENCE".
Take these new items to the auction house and select the POST tab. Drag an item your going to sell into the box at the top left. Auctioneer should suggest a price for you, don't change it.
Click "Create Auction" and repeat doing this until you have everything out of your bags and onto the auction house.
Now you wait. The best thing to do is go farm some gold the old fashioned way on your main, or level up if your not yet 80. After a few hours log back onto your auction house character and check if anything has sold yet, once it all does you will have much more gold than you started with and you can repeat the whole process of searching, disenchanting and listing again.
Good luck guys, future posts won't be so long and boring, this one is like that because it involves so much setup. Ill be back in a week to talk about cloth. See ya then.
