Multiboxing Gold Tips (Not Dailies)

[heyaz]

Once you get epic flying and crafted gear all made i don't think there is really that much need for gold.

I would disagree - epic gems and enchants will run you a lot especially if you get a lot of upgrades. I just spent about 3000g just enchanting/gemming my weapon and shield. Other pieces cost anywhere from 1000-3000g to gem/enchant for the whole group.

Not to mention some of the level 245 (or whatever) boe and crafted pieces you can buy for 7-10k, stuff for my tank for example. I could see dropping 50-100k on that kind of stuff, especially if you want to try out other specs.

Gems I could see costing alot. But If you are running a 5 box team with out a enchanter to de all the crap you come across you should make one. I haven't been boxing as long as I was in BC but my enchanter still has a bunch of high level bc enchanting mats. Running ToC is a really fast way to rack up alot of upgrades if you are just starting out and a lot of abysses crystals.

You run out of crap to disenchant when you mostly pvp

Another money maker I have found is just running 80 instances for badges and doing daily BGs/WG for honour. Converting these excess badges and honour into epic gems, cutting them and AHing them keeps me going without having to dailies etc. A run of 5 WG quests with a win gives close to 20k honour for 5 toons which equates to 10 epic gems. I normally grab rubies and cut them, put them on AH for 180-200g.

For intance runs I find the 5 boss instances the best, which I can now do in 30-35minutes, netting 5x5=25 badges or another 2.5 combination gems which I again cut and AH for 180-200g. These gems in raw form tend to go for a lot less on AH, but if you cut them well, they can sell for as much as the pure colour gems. This cash comes on top of the DE gear etc, BoEs that drop throughout the run of course.

This may not be as fast money as a set of dailies, but you can do it for a good portion of the day without getting as bored and it is generally repeatable. If I do it on the weekends I can make an extra 20% on my gems also.

On a side note I agree, you can never have too much gold. When all 5(10) of your toons have full craftable ToC gear, epic flyers, vendor mounts, Dal rings etc. then maybe you won't need much and your existing capital is enough to generate an income to sustain consumables, Even at this stage however, you can buy the ToC BoE recipes for all of your professions and blow another 50k. I am nowhere near achieving this currently and I think by the time I do, there will be a whole new batch of gold sinks available.

I have an alt addiction. I have made a few noob teams.. keep them in BoA gear and best blues/greens i can find ( even though they out level them in a few days ) I never have enough money hehe! And i make tons of it.

not if professions from your other slaves cover it, i havent bought one gem or mats for any enchant, Im lucky enough to get some crusader orbs from guild bank if i need them, but they're cheap anyway(600g a piece).
Also from my prof my daily inc is about ~3k ish(7-9x200g, 5x100g, 5x 400g every 4 days), for few months it was that plus +/- 4k from dailies(2 teams).
I also run few ToC and disenchant stuff from there, thats 5 abyss for 10-12 mins of work(40-45g a piece).
A dedicated boxer can make around 10k a day easy, and keep that up for months(it gets boring after few months)

Wait, so epic gems and enchanting mats spawn from nothing if you have professions? And crusader orbs appear in your bank? You missed my point - which was that I disagree that once you have epic flyers and crafted gear you no longer need currency. And by currency I mean anything- gold, time, mats you transwhatever from a profession cooldown, or crusader orbs you found for free.

Pretty much, other than rubies gem cost me under 25g, rubies are 60, that includes gem+eternal for transmute. Enchanting mats are all provided by ToC and random daily heroic.
I can get free orbs from my guild, but the one whole piece that i got made from them i paid for. I didnt miss your point in past few weeks I havent spend more than 200 a day on my whole team(and they have all best enchants and all epic gems), I dont even buy water since I have a mage outside my main team to do that.

you haven't spent gold because you farmed the rest or transmuted stuff... exactly what I just said in the last post. You're arguing my point for me.

I would advise you to re read it all. You said you spent 3k on enchants and crap, i said if you have professions, you wouldn't pay a penny for those. Thats was whole point You buy mats for 50g, transmute and make 220g, i wouldn't call that farming.
While you cant live on zero gold, 100g a day per 5 is plenty(if youre active, doing bgs/heroics etc).
Just need to set up Your professions correctly.
