Its nice having every profession covered by your team. I have 450 of everything except BS on my guys, and I hardly spent anything leveling them -- just gathered mats as I leveled, and whenever my bags were full of ore/skins/herbs/etc I would powerlevel something until my bags were empty again. I rarely ever sold stuff on the AH, instead anything extra I sent to alts (who had their own guild banks) and stored it all -- I have a herb alt, a ore alt, and a enchant mats alt.

Now I'm leveling a DK, and I'm making him a JC/BS. I haven't bought anything from the AH yet, instead I just had him join my "ore alt" guild and he breaks out of the guild bank whatever he needs to level. I think he's 200 BS and 220 JC right now, and I'm probably going to go need to do a few hours of ore-mining in Ungoro to get him to the next skill level, but I'm in no rush (the DK is only level 62 lol). I have stored away probably 400 stacks of saronite ore so once he does hit 350 it'll be easymode leveling him in both to 450. I do have 30k+ gold so I could easily buy everything I need, but I hate giving other people gold in WoW :)

imo the most important thing is having a herbalist, skinner, and miner on your team. You don't even need to gather as you level, just when you hit 60, 70, or 80 spend a few hours on each just running around farming/leveling - altho leveling skinning as you level your team is a good, since you don't even need to switch screens to skin -- use macro like /cast [target=focustarget] Skinning

See, but a lot of people don't realize how much "a few hours of each" is costing you.

Sure, I could spend 4 hours getting all the mats I need (probably take a lot longer than this) to level BS from 0-450, and another 4 hours for JC, etc etc. Or, I could run Dailies for 4 hours and get 4000+g and have enough to level JC from 0-450 on 2 characters.

Its all perogative of course though :)

I'm curious - how do you make the 4K from heroics? Even if you DE all the items that drop I can't imagine that adding up to 4K? I think I need to hurry up and get my DK to 80. :P

But I agree, once you have a team at 80, you're usually better off doing dailies and buying the mats, rather than going out and farming them yourself. Of course I have seen mats pumped up to ridiculous prices on the AH on occsaion, so your milage may vary.

Huh? I said dailies, not heroics :) I can make 1300g doing icecrown dailies in < 1.5hrs.

Now I want to see a video of that! ;p

Why? Many people do this. You can do 17 dailies in ice crown in less than 1.5 hours, most of these are worth 13.X gold some are worth 22.X gold (x 5 for 5 boxers). Also you get miscellaneous items to sell, DE, etc, while doing them. Pretty simple math :)

Sorry must have misread your post. :pinch:

One thing I think I should point out though - capping out your dailies (i.e. doing 25/25) will net you around 1700 gold...so 4K in 4 hours, while possible, isn't going to be in one session. It will be accross 3 days...unless you have multiple teams at 80.

Cheers,
S.

I've selected what I think are the most efficient quests in Icecrown and have been doing them on two level 80 teams every day for a few weeks now.

Takes me about 80 minutes to finish 9 13g dailies and 2 22g dailies on 10 toons - right at 1500g per day. Both teams have epic flyers and now that I have two decent computers I run both teams at the same time. Cuts about 15 minutes off what my time when I was running them seperately.

They've all gotten the Bread Winner acheivement (make 10,000g from quests) and I only have 10K across all my toons. Makes me realize how much money I've blown since Wrath came out. :huh:

My wife would be proud.

Oh, and now I have another team at 77 with regular flyers - they'll be making the daily circuit too when I've got enough money to get them epic flyers. Then I can blow 2250g per day instead of 1500g! Woot!

Oh, and one more thing before the OP's original topic got detoured by the money making talk - you had a question about running heroics. Like many others, my two teams are running heroics daily. But of my 10 level 80 toons, only one has a profession - one of my tanks is an enchanter. So no worries - no matter which professions you select (or don't select), you'll be able to run heroics with no problem.
