Making money

[Xraptorx]

I just dinged 85 and have the following professions maxed on active chars:

Enchanting and mining
jewelcrafting
inscription and herbalism
tailoring and skinning


On 2 other chars, I have alchemy leveled to max.
I just downloaded tradeskill master and will configure and play with it, but wondering if there is some general advice on how to make money given my professions and 5 boxing capabilities

I do not have the riding skill trained for super fast mounts yet (280 or 310%) and could use some money. My average ilev is around 360 on the chars. Not yet enough for LFR.

So what is the best way to make the 25,000 gold needed to train the higher level riding skills?

If you like to PVP you can sell greater celestial essences (400 honor) for generally around 89-120 gold depending on your server. I sell 50-100 a week on mine from doing my daily random BG (500 honor) and any weekend BGs. Just something to think about if you are capped for honor already. If you are a PVEer you can sell JP and VP BOE items. So make sure you do your RDF each week on each toon.

I'll second that.

I've made close to 70K so far, on the Greater Celestial Essences.



Long term, you want Alchemy and/or Tailoring (but Alchemy is King) on every character.
Because of the passive daily transmute.

In the current expansion, level them up to 75th level.
And get their Alchemy to the point where they can do Transmute Elements.
Park most of the team at the Pinnacle summoning stone, in Uldum.
Have one member (same account as your AH toon) in Org/SW and bound there.
Buy Volatile Life (the cheapest) in 75's (15 per toon, 5 toons per team = 75 per team), and mail to the toon in SW/Org.
Log that toon in, retrieve the mail, have the toons at the stone summon them, distribute the Volatile Life.
Mouse broadcast, to have them all do the transmute at the same time (in Uldum, you always get Volatile Air, which is the most valuable Volatile).
Trade back to the SW/Org toon, and have only that toon hearth home.
Mail the Volatile Air to the AH toon.

With 37 alchemists, in two and a half months (just over an hour per day), I made 800,000 gold.

Every expansion there's something similar.

Buy ore. Prospect on all toons at once, profit :P

Just run through heroics, disenchant the loot, sell on AH.

Use Potion of Treasure Finding.

Sell mounts from the current event.... 900k in a week so far.

You should really hold on to them. Sell them in a month or so instead.

In a month their value will only go up about 10k or so... and most people seem to be holding them. At about 14k gold an hour i can't really see not selling them to hit a mill.

How much are you selling them for?

On my server I see them in trade for 5-7k
