Anyway to transfer gold from alliance to horde? (30k)

[Mokoi]

You should probably not put 1 gray up for 30k. Maybe put it up for like 50g, then something else for 50g and so on. It will take long but it should set a flag like 30k would.

these are the posts I suggest we steer away from. Skirting Blizzards policies is not one of the practices we should be encouraging or engaging in.

thats all I meant. I don't know for sure if they ban or disregard cross faction trading of gold, but deliberately trying to float under the radar should not be the goal. talking to a GM and confirming what is legal and what is not should be encouraged and not anything shady, this community is under enough fire as it is.

I transfer Primals or other hot times from side to side.

Check AH on each side if they are lower on one side buy them here , thansfer to other side sell for profit

works great

The only thing to watch for are AH bots that sometimes snatch these things up. I've seen numerous CS forum postings about this when someone gets their loot bought up for cheap by someone else or an AH bot. There's nothing they can do if this happens.

I believe sniping falls under the "If you are happy incurring such costs while transferring your gold over, then you are of course free to do so" the CM's were mentioning

So it's ok to trade your cash cross-faction.

Excellent. That's all we needed to know. Nice one Kadaan.

I don't think there is a problem using the neutral AH to transport money from one account to another as long as you own them both. One of the purposes of the neutral AH is to sell stuff across factions and that's what you'd be doing. I can't see there is anything "illegal" going on if you own both accounts.

If don't have to spend your gold in a hurry I would try and avoid the neutral auction house taking 15% of your gold you could check both faction AHs for, say, Large Brilliant Shards or Black Lotus or something like that. Buy them on one side and sell them on the other side. You could even make a little profit if you are lucky. The risky part is getting them through the neutral AH since you want to put them up there at a low price, like 1 copper, and buy them at the low price (leaving the neutral AH with 15% of 1 copper). Of course this is more time consuming than accepting a 15% "loss".

Yup, that's been confirmed, and I'm going to keep posting that link because it's a thread-closer so far as I can tell and any further discussion about the legality or otherwise will just confuse people who come across this thread as a result of a search.

Not that many people seem to bother actually searching, but... well, ever the optimist

Hi,

I have been farming alot of gold on my "old" account (alliance) and got around 31.000 gold atm. Everything was getting quite boring and felt i was time for a change, so desided to reroll horde and try multiboxing (which is going nice).

Anyway, only thing i miss from my alliance characters is all the gold. Is there a way to get that gold transfered to my new horde characters?

horde account
1) download auctioneer
2) Acquire 100 pieces of (one) type cloth
3) With acutioner use the tab marked "set auction" and drag 1 stach of cloth into the window set to (x1) piece and set buyout to 300g. Afther that remove the quantity filiter and hit enter.
- what this will do is put on the ah 100 pieces of cloth for 300g each = 30,000g

Allinace account
1) After the horde has put up the 100 piece of cloth using auctioner open tha AH window
2) Filter out the cloth type and put gold threshold buyout to 300g. and hit enter
- this will buy every piece of (cloth type) marked at 300g.

You can complete this transaction in about 2-3 minutes tops and is fully automated. If you think 300g is too high just use more cloth ie 200 cloth at 150g per piece.

Or you could do it in 2 seconds, with no mods, just by putting a single grey item on the AH for 30,000 gold, since it's been confirmed that cross-faction trading of your own gold is fine and there's no need to structure the transaction to avoid attention

Just for my own clarification, how can an AH bot buy my stack of silk (listed at the VERY reasonable price of 5,000 gold pieces), and me not be happy. Granted, my fairly affluent toon on the other faction didn't get the chance to buy the stack of silk, but I happen to have 3 lucky pieces of mageweave going for 3,000 gold each... only moderately higher than the current going price.

If I missed that "AH bot" alert on Auctioneer telling me to set the price at the last 3 day AH Bot buyout number, then I am definitely not using Auctioneer to it's fullest capability.

I am only slightly tongue in cheek on this. Where does this go wrong?

Thank you in advance for the education!

this thread seriously made me giggle...

I'm a member of an endgame guild - however I no longer raid. The other members, are currently on KJ, and has been farming BT for months (server firsts, all down the line from Gruul to M'uru).

We buy consumables and enchanting mats from Alliance AH on our realm, cause the prices are more favourable due to higher alliance population. And I shit you not, we transfer 100k gold+ every month, most often in the form of mats though.

Sometimes, people reroll on our server, from alliance to horde, or vice versa. They often want their accumulated wealth with them, and we setup a trade (provided we know the person). Last time, was about 42k gold, that he had on alliance, and wanted on horde. That's a good trade, seeing as we skip the 15% AH fee.

And I cannot put it simpler than this: if you did not obtain your gold through botting or goldspam/selling companies, you are free to trade, treat or destroy it any way you like.

"but this looks like a way to avoid the 15% fee, would this not piss off blizzard ?" - answer: NO, why on earth would it ? both people doing a trade like this, are putting up 42k gold to a "stranger" and one of them have to press accept first....

it's a risk, which might feel even more daunting than neutral AH sinking 15% of your fortune...

anyways, we've traded gold and stuff crossfaction since the guild was formed in december. 2005. Same officer been doing it all the time, so an estimate would be, he's traded more than a million gold.
