Who SERIOUSLY wants a guide to making gold as a boxer?

[Shodokan]

Full breakdown of every profession with up to date information. Boxer specific aspects etc....

If i get enough yes please then i'll write one over the next few days. Svpr can vouch that some basic tips i gave him help quite a bit. I will not write it in a manner to demean anyone and will go into implicit details and what is best and why. It will all be based on my server's economy but it can easily be translated to other economic models as well (higher, lower prices etc)

If i'm going to spend the time on this, it will be the be all end all of "how to make gold" on this message board. I'll update it once again after every major content patch as well.

But if it will not be used i'm not going to waste 10-12 hours writing step by step instructions and explaining everything in full, just not worth the effort.

So people understand. I don't "try" to make gold other than leveling all my alts. But i pull in around 15k per day or more. I've broken 450+k in less than 2 months. Because of that i'm now paid up for all 5 accounts through december and have hilts for all my toons (including 1 for my prot paladin's alt set, and 4 for shaman yet to be used, and 3 for mages yet to be used)

So how much would people appreciate this type of thing? Instead of having to look through all the gold help blogs and guides all over the place.

[EaTCarbS]

If you are up to it, I know I would appreciate it =)

[Ualaa]

Well, am definitely interested in gold and how others make theirs.
There's always room for improvement, or new things to try.

[Slats]

I would read what you have to write and evalute it on what I already do to see if there is room for improvement. If its simple to just have 40 JC's and 40 Alchemists - I dont really consider that anything special. However if your playing several major markets and doing to competively with an advantage from boxing then I'm curious to see your strategy.

As you said, as long as you dont write something that treats people like idiots. I was one of the original people who was not fond of your initial maturity or posting style when your arrived here.

[Drommon]

I would read it and probably use it. I don't get much time to play so anything helps really.

[angeldeelite]

i would very much like it if you made a boxer specific gold guide :D
I'm not poor by game terms but i think in boxer terms im a hobo lol

[zenga]

I'm currently at 4k a day without much effort, but making 10k a day takes a lot of effort/luck. So i'm really interested to read up on how to improve that. Though the most important thing for such I guide i believe is that its needs to be scalable i(f you have 40000 transmuters, than someone with 10 should also be able to use it).

I'm really interested on how i can make better use of my blacksmith, leatherworker, tailor, miner, enchanter, ... besides the obvious transmuter & jc'r.

[Maleick]

Could you include someone like me that has four shamans but no gold? :p

[Velassra]

I wouldn't mind seeing how you do it either.

[Seldum]

I always read stuff like that. I love to read how people make their gold. All tips and hits are welcome.

[Kedash00]

same, i'd love to see how others do it, transmutes are boring but require little effort, sometimes i wanna play the economy part of the game just for a change from killing stuff

[Tonuss]

I think it would be great, particularly as a general guide that individuals can tailor to their specific server and situation.

[Fat Tire]

http://i534.photobucket.com/albums/ee346/ddiamonddc/not-sure-if-serious.jpg

[Shodokan]

Alright. I'll start writing it today.

It will not include anything going into "omg do 32 alchemists like mes!" There might be a little area explaining why something like that helps but it certainly is not necessary.

[ghonosyph]

YES YES PLEASE! :D i'm making a few hundred gold a day and need more to help gear up the teams i currently plays, lol it sucks not having enough gold to get what you need for a team!

[JackBurton]

That would sure be nice.

[heyaz]

are you actually gonna make the guide this time or just get everyone excited and forget about it? :)

[Shodokan]

Unlike last time people know i'm not talking out my ass and are supportive. So i have a reason to.

[Littleburst]

Imo, an exell spreadsheet of a list of mats costs vs AH prices is very simple and might help a lot of people. But i guess i'm not the average player, since i do know my way around the AH and can't say i've read anything new the last couple of months. Would still read it and see if i do find anything new :)

There are no "new" ways to make money, there never really are. It's just using what you get to make the most profit from it (from heroics for example)

[Grondir]

I'd be interested. There's no such thing as too much gold ;)

[Moorea]

Because of that i'm now paid up for all 5 accounts through december

What are you saying ? That you sell gold to pay for your subs ?

[Myc]

Helpfull tips would be awesome.

^^^
this, i was wondering why nobody was asking that. that's the impression i got

[Ualaa]

In another thread, Svpernova asked a couple of people to not mention specifics regarding in-game gold to people in exchange for game cards. A few people had posted they basically do that, which while not involving actual cash, is still a game currency for something with a real world value.

[Tdog]

I always read stuff like that. I love to read how people make their gold. All tips and hits are welcome.Same. I don't always necessarily use their guides step by step but I always learn something and it often helps me improve my own routine.

[thefunk]

Hehe I found one of those gold guides online from rapidshare ( I'm not one to pay for them) and what it basically amounts to is to download auctionator Addon and a few maps of minig routes. And they charge $60 for the priviledge (sp?) so my advice is don't bother with them.

[JackBurton]

I'd love to see a comprehensive guide. with all the tips compliled from all the forums i've read. right now i just make gold doing as many dailies as i can manage before i get burnt out. nets me about 2k a day max.

[Catamer]

sure,
I really don't try to make gold myself mostly because I have to have a goal, like getting cycles on all of my toons or getting hilts on all of the. I think making 15k/day would be great when I need the boost to buy something.

I have 5x JC + 5x Alchemy myself, I have 5x tailoring but they nerfed that into worthless so I would only need 3 of them.

[pinotnoir]

I would love a guide as long as it doesnt tell people to make a billion alchemist to succeed. If you can make a guide for a 5 box team that would be great. I am not looking to be the Bill Gates of wow. I just want enough gold to buy what I need.

[Fat Tire]

The biggest problem with guides is that they can become outdated by the time they are published.

[Shodokan]

this is true

[drevil]

But i pull in around 15k per day or more.

wuuuw.. that's pretty impressiv .. what's your main source?

[Shodokan]

wuuuw.. that's pretty impressiv .. what's your main source?

Mixture of blacksmithing, tailoring, leatherworking, enchanting and gems

BS stuff sells best though and for highest profit.

[wyofiddler]

I would also love to see this.

Someone said they aren't rich by boxer standards... I would love to make enough to buy epic flying skill for the first time ever, that's how little gold I've seen in my whole time in wow. I would love to finally make enough to buy hilts and the like.

[Shodokan]

Mmk. Well it will not be released for atleast a week unless i find time throughout the week to write some more.

I have three papers, 2 presentations, homework, studying over the next week, and the following week i have reading days(studying) and then exams for the following 4-5 days.

So... fuck my life >_> I'll do a little each night though and try to get it out as soon as i can.

[Toned]

Definately would like to see it :P

[Myc]

oo thought of this.. you and prega team up to make the ULTIMATIUM gold thread. lol =p
j/k
one other problem tho with posting things is more people using same methods there is a chance it could be come less profitable. ...and these forums aren't private. (tho boxing gold making is a tad bid different)

but like I said before would be nice to know more.

[zenga]

LOL that shit is too funny... ROFLMAO!!

I would like to read I guide on how to make gold, I did have a couple of sources where I learned some great techniques for looking at the AH market to know what to sell and buy but that only net me about 40k. and took over a month to do.:eek:

[Bloodcloud]

http://www.saveourlittlevillage.org/files/shared/bigstockphoto_Check_Yes_431128.jpg

[Ellay]

I'd be interested in reading it over :) I know I blow through gold like it's going out of style when I have it. Heh. :(

[Boylston]

I would love to see some sort of a guide.

I have an alt who makes Flasks and another who makes Netherweave bags to sell. Both are reasonably competitive markets, but I do OK there. Alchemy goes in spurts, but it's still a consistent money-maker. I manage to fund my repairs/gems/enchants/upkeep costs for my solo + a 5-Box team without dipping in the hole, but I certainly didn't have oodles of cash laying around to buy hilts immediately for the new team, etc etc.

I think I'd *MOST* be interested in seeing some of the best activities to make money that involved actually playing your team and running PvE content. I've heard you comment about making X gold / hour running heroics, but I'd love to see the breakdown of what you're selling/looting/DEing/etc to get there.

I'm not interested so much in maximizing gold/day as I am making a fair amount of gold with my team while still doing something reasonably enjoyable. Farming random heroics is more dynamic to me than grinding the same 20 quests/day...

[kate]

Is there a daily questing guide that's aimed towards multi-boxers? If not, I'll try to make something reasonably efficient.

[SaraiE]

I would definitely love to read this. I am piss poor in-game.

Thanks!

I wanna know your other sources aside from your transmuters and gems/primordials/orbs from badges. If it's Dailies then I might not try it but since there's a rocket 2 seater mount I'll think about it

Yes I need your guide!

[jinkobi]

Haven't you heard? Alliance is the new horde :eek: Faction transfers ftw! I know tons of my horde buddies switched to Alliance and even some people I disliked went horde! WOOT!

On my server you can't make crap for $$$ horde side. Their auction house is dead and what's in there is so overpriced it just isn't worth it. Funneling goods to the horde auction house from alliance I could probably make a fortune... Too bad i'm so lazy!

But yeah... tons of things i've done and or doing I couldn't do as horde on my server. Like when my team first hit 80 buying them all crafted epics which allowed me to go right into heroics. Uhhmm The Insane title where I got tons of things for it from the AH that would have been impossible hordeside.

Sorry to ramble on here, lol...

[Ualaa]

Selling (unlimited supply) alliance pets, on the horde AH... is about 8k a month.
Selling (unlimited supply) horde pets, on the alliance AH... is about 500g a month.

Not sure why, the discrepancy.

I do have a single horde team, still rather low level (22nd).
But they have 22k towards their mount fund, thanks to alliance pets and transfering via the neutral AH.

I could tell you why, but I would be accused of stereotyping. :D

I certainly would like a guide. I make a few hundred a day but nothing close to what ppl here are getting.

[Alptraum]

whats the status of this awesome guide? I was reading this forum drooling as Im looking to gear up 3 seperate teams and any money making ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated 5x mages, 5x druids, 5x shammys all flat broke hehe.

Am I understanding this correctly ? You made over 450k gold in less than 2 months, then used the gold to pay up all 5 accounts thru December ?

So you sold the gold for cash, to pay for your accounts ? Isn't that a blatant violation of the ToS ?

yes, it's been discussed before and will come up again I'm sure. I don't even know why he bothers telling us he's breaking the ToS, attention seeking maybe?

but yea icould use one i need something to do till CAT hits, when i hit 80 on my first team:D

[Zub]

technically, the ingame gold (as everything ingame) belongs to Blizzard, whereas the game code belong to whoever purchased them.

Buying codes with ingame gold is pretty much like buying stuff with someone else's money. I would be pretty surprised if that was allowed..

Then again i haven't seen the second set of rules yet :-)

You're trading an ingame currency for something outside the game. as far as i know that's not allowed.

It's not allowed and that has been covered time and time again by Blues. This has been the case for some time.

As this is referring to a Game Card, as in you purchased pre-paid time for a World of Warcraft account — and therefore it is only a real-world currency reference, and are unable to do anything with it in-game — I would recommend avoiding doing this. This could very easily be considered the same thing as purchasing gold for real world currency — as you essentially are.

Just to reiterate:

Selling time cards for in-game gold is in violation of our Terms of Use and can result in account action up to account closure. Please refrain from participating in such sales and let us know if you witness any such transactions by opening an in-game petition.

Don't ever cross RL and ingame things, Schubert.

Game Cards are a RL item, ingame gold is well - ingame.

Not to mention this is ripe for scamming.


It is NOT the same as trading the INGAME code for a TCG mount or item

The TCG loot cards have a code (RL code) that is turned into an in-game code when you enter it online. The RL code can't be sold for gold, but the in-game code can be.

The game time cards only have a RL code, no conversion to an in-game code, so that is why they're not allowed yet the loot card in-game code is.

While unsupported, selling the loot code used in-game to redeem an in-game reward from the collectible card game is not considered in violation of our policies at this time. Selling a gametime code in-game, however, is in violation of our policies as this is not an in-game transaction; please refrain from participating in such transactions.

[Shodokan]

Regardless of if blizzard supports it or it is blatantly against the terms of service... people get refunded day in and day out for buying faulty time-codes or cd-keys. If it was a bannable offense then those people's accounts would be closed and not have their in game currency reimbursed.

If you all don't feel comfortable doing it, don't.

[crowdx]

You inferred in your original posts here on the forums when you start boxing that you had been banned before? Correct?Incorrect?
It would seem that your current attitude to the rules or interpretation of the ToS could end in the same way.
It would be a shame to get banned after all the work you have put into your teams.

[Iceorbz]

It's kind of hard to say it works only for TCG mounts, since that "in game code" has value, and gold has a RMT value as well. Blizzard just put a spin on it, really think it out it's all the same shit, different box. In the end -- who the hell really cares? All the QQ and stuff, I would wager money that 90% of this forum is in violation of some sort of TOS breech, naming policy anyone? Stop giving people a hard time just to bust their nuts please, there is really good info in some of these threads.
