Well having a "friend" level your characters for you is kinda lame, and 4 SETS of toons at that? WTH

Directly after that comment you skip all of lv70-80 and start talking about farming toc and hilts?

I'll watch and hell you'll probably prove me an ass, but from what I gather you have don't have any characters as of right now? I don't see any guild/character links in your name, so your starting completely fresh? Honestly if you were such a big success already on this server, re-open those accounts for a foot hold.

Also, whats happened to all this money you obtained over the last 3 years? Why have you not built upon that and stayed there?
Did you burn out? Just seems pointless to start completely fresh.

Anyhow I wish you luck, you'll probably teach my me a thing or two.

I was banned for retarded reasons which I've discussed with a few people on here and don't feel like explaining again. I lost approximately 120,000 gold and 6 level 80s on my main account that were all geared. I quit for 5 months because of the ban, but i'm coming back again to multi-box.

I skip 70-80 talk because there is no need for it. The only thing to it is questing and taking the time to do that, i do not plan on instancing to 80.

I don't buy the 30k gold when you hit 80 bit. 1-60 you will be negative 180g or so because with RAF you will level faster than you can loot to buy your spells. 60-70 questing you will only end up with about 800-900g per toon by the time you hit 70. Subtract spells, the cost to 60, and flying. You will be about broke even. That leaves 6k gold to earn per toon in 10 levels of Northrend. Not counting -5k gold for Northrend flying

Sure you can make a dime or two with tradeskills but not that much unless that is all you do instead of level to 80. There are just not enough rocks to find, berries to pick, animals to skin, or shinys to disenchant unless you dedicate a lot of time to just that.

Some of your points are good, but i'm lucky enough to have friends who will pay for my initial group's skills to 60, bags, normal + epic + normal flying. Flying is not necessary to level to 80 as every zone in the game besides Storm Peaks and Icecrown can be done without it. Even then you can use the "loaner" ones if you decide to use those areas to begin with. So that negates MOST of my costs. I do not plan on getting epic flying as it's going to be pointless since i will not be using gathering professions. Gold made in outland will be ~ 1k which leads to northrend's quests for ~ 5k or more depending on the amount of quests done and rewards chosen.

Warning, theory crafting based on sales of all items per day
Dedicating time to trade skills isn't necessary either. Especially with alchemy/JC. If i choose to use tailoring it will take approximately 1.5 hours every 4 days to go about making all the cloth (summoning or moving characters from locations with an overgeared character). If 1.5 hours is too much time every 4 days for an extra... 8,000 gold worth then... i dunno what is worth that amount of time. Time to create all gems would be the amount of time to login/out and create gems and ship to bank alt... So maybe 3 minuets per group of 5... so that is daily less than an hour for... ~ 3400 gold (most gems sell for 100-120 on illidan UN CUT) minus costs of mats (about 1k) is ~ 2400 profit that assumes no transmutation procs. The only time necessary to be dedicated is level the characters to 65... which really isn't all that much time since they are going to be leveled eventually anyway. Since most groups will not be groups of 5 you can just boost them on your main paladin (which i will have a ret offset for) but prot will more than be fine. It takes approximately 1 hour per level from 60-65 boosting. So that is 5 hours per group (and i will have leather BOA gear so anyone leather to plate levels faster)

Total time invested: Approximately 50 hours played to get all groups to 65. And then about an hour or so after all materials are bought to power level a profession. So yes that is a lot of time to put into it. But if you think about it in the long run... making an extra ~8,000 gold per week for 30 minuets of work per day (more if you have tailoring/jc) and upwards to ~15000 per week (assuming 2x tailoring per week or icy prisms to get mats for alchemy + dragons eyes/possible epic gems)

This position is highly coveted and has been taken for years. I'll put you on the list should the existing smart ass fail to perform their duties.

I was banned once for a 'stupid' reason: tricking people into afking out of AV.

PROTIP: Don't break the rules!

It had nothing to do with tricking people to afk out of backgrounds or anything "bad." You can assume as you wish though.


PROTIP TAKEN. >_>
