When RaF started I decided to take the plunge and go from 5 boxing to 10 boxing. I made 5 more lvl 70 toons so now I have:

5 x S3 Geared shamans
1 x Holy Priest
4 x Arcane Mages

But to be honest im not finding a whole lot to farm with these 10 toons that I couldnt do already with my 5 shamans.

I'm considering moving these 5 new toons back to my shaman accounts and going back to just 5 accounts. Any ideas? What can a 10 boxer do that a 5 boxer cant to try to raise the gold bar, my goal is 5k gold a day.

Ni Hao indeed -- the 'retail price' on 5000G is ~$91, at least according to the L1 warrior jumping up and down like a Jack Russell terrier in the SW AH.

You'll starve to death in Kirkland, WA on that sort of salary.

Since RAF I've played around with the idea of 10 boxing I got some groups going just been busy to finish them to 70. Been working on getting a lot of toons to 60 and waiting on the patch. Only thing I could think of that you could do with your 10man for extra gold is twice the dailies.

I'm doing 10 and it hurts,and i'm not seeing a tremendous benefit in having 5 more TBH.
But RAF is RAF without it I doubt i'd be doing it. ;)

I think the only thing you can do with 10 accounts that you cant do with 5 accts and 10+ 70s is either PvP domination (in terms of sheer killing power) and 10 man raids. If 5 boxing dps is enough for you, 5 accts with multiple characters on each is perfect. If you want to attempt 10 man raids, 10 man world pvp (dailies would be nice with 10) and more flexibility in terms of what toons you can bring to 5 mans (i.e. have a mage,druid, and a priest outside instance portals for buffs, or swap out different toons for different parts (like 5 dps for trash, holy trinity for bosses) etc.

I only added 3 RAF accounts, and kept 2 of my originals, and I will most likely only end up with 6 accounts total. I may think of 10 boxing once i have a couple teams at 70, but it would only so i could do all of the WotLK 10 man raid content without having to find a group.

Well, you could take a gathering skill on all 10 and occupy all the nodes in some areas.
For example there are 6 Adamantite and 6 Mana Thistle deposits on IQD, you could park a miner / herbalist on each one -- a couple are located close enough you could an herb/ore node with 1 char. But I doubt it would get you 5K even if you stood there all day.

My way is to grind karazhan boss's for badges of justice then take these BOJ to the sunwell isle and cash them in for the epic gems you would normally only get from running blacktemple.
So thats 10 gems @ about 300g a piece!

hope that helps go towards your ideas.

Just thinking out loud here.... If you can earn 2000gold a day and sell it to a gold selling website you could earn some nice side money. I have no idea how much they pay for the gold. You may be able to make 12k real money just doing daily quest with your guys. Then you can tell people you just purchased a 2009 Yamaha R1 by doing daily quest in wow. That would be funny.

You would be Exalted in Yamaha Faction.

Please do not discuss the buying/selling of gold here. As far as I remember, that is against the TOS and the forum rules here.

I am not telling him to sell gold. I know its against the rules. It was a funny thought that I would never suggest anyone to actually do.
