Gold Issue with RAF

[Eastt]

So, im RAFing myself for the second time... this time i dont have an 80 to support my alts with. What did you guys do with money on a new server?

[Ogloo]

NO INSTANCES!!!

if u dont do instances ull have a load butt of money.. also!, on the main (the one screen ur always looking at), pick up herb, mining, or both.. (just the gathering.. others are not good waste of time), and as u lvl, to pick up all the nodes as u go, when u hit 80, ull be right at 450. Just keep putting the herbs in the bank, and then sell them all at 80.. Ull get like 5k gold..+..

As of right now (my group or 3), is 72.. from lvl 70-71.5 i made 1.5k gold.. as the quests give me more and more, around 76+, I will have even more gold from these quests, and ill end up with around 20k gold (i have a 4th toon that will be added soon), from all the quests and greens and stuff.

Hope this helps..

I got tons of gold from instances mostly from vendoring everything. I did not gather so i don't know how it compares. The downside is that it takes a damn long time to loot everything in an instance.

Be selective about what spells/abilities you buy until after you get past 60. If you are a caster, just buy the new versions of your most powerful damage spells, and if you can rez, just buy the cheapest one to have it. If your class has a travel form, try to get along using it until much higher level.

ah yeh!.. thats what i didnt do in instances.. loot.. i never ever ever did loot.. i guess that could of helped. thats why i went to quests because i was broke as poot

buy essential spells and abilities only. don't waste money on stuff your never gonna use.

When I moved servers I didnt have any assets to use. I was poor till outlands. My druids still dont have any feral skills purchased at level 71. When you get to outlands and the quest rewards go from 40s t 2g and up it all changes. At 60 I think I had 8g to my name after buying all the new spells. By level 64 I had all my spells (-feral) and epic land mounts. You just level too fast on too few of quests and rewards to buy it all pre 60 with RAF.

I started out with a class that needed the smallest amount of cash to survive:

WARLOCKS!

With a 5xWarlock team, I was able to get along, only buying new Corruption, CoA and Shadowbolt for offense, the void did the hard work and eventually the felguard. but the cash that team saved, was passed on to the next team to make their life easier. I also used all cloth drops to get tailoring up, so my teams had bags.

• At least one slave should have skinng (/assist focus /cast Skinning).
• Primary should have herb and mining which should be maintained (leveled).
• Slave should have herb or mining for tracking purposes only, dont bother maintaining its level.
• Bank/Mule/AH toons should not be underestimated. Cloth is a great market, and most db combos include healers so FA becomes someone trival.
• Im sure theres more... Im just lazy.
