What can honestly beat a herbalism/miner in wintergrasp for G/Hr?

I have been looking through the addons at curse.com and wowinterface.com for an AH addon for selecting multiple auctions.

I have been looking through the addons at curse.com and wowinterface.com for an AH addon for selecting multiple auctions.

i'm not sure which addon it exactly is, i asume auctioneer. But it does come with the 'full package' you can download at auctioneer.net. It has an 'simplebuyout' feature, which let's you buyout and auction with a single mouseclick on the auction.

The "Appraiser" function of auctioneer allows for "batch" posting.

Basically, set an item up for posting.
Choose the duration (a default can be set), pricing method (or enter a value for fixed prices), and be sure to check "enable batch posting".
Choose the stack size (how many sold as a single auction) and the number of stacks sold at once.
Below this, you can check "only", which limits how many are up at once maximum.

There's a button which if you click it nothing happens, but it gets you a message.
Alt + Clicking the button, will refresh the auction house for each item which you have checked for batch posting.
Alt + Ctrl + Shift + Clicking, will auto list (as configured) each item which has been selected for batch posting.

The only thing I cannot do with auctioneer, which I'd like to is...
Remove every auction of one item, if I want to undercut someone.

If you can't be bothered to read the post, at least don't make assumptions about the poster.

First of all yes, the money you make from farming heroics is server dependent, but so is material farming. Obviously I have only my own server to reference, so this is what I base my calculations on:

- Abyss crystals sell for 20-25g each
- Average value of a blue item is 6g (with the 3-4g blue items effectively worth 5g, which is the server price for dream shards)
- Average value of a disenchanted green non-weapon item is 10-11g - average value of a green weapon item is 20g
- You spend you emblems on either ametrines, dreadstones or eye of zul which cost 10 emblems. These can be sold raw for 90-100g on average, although I can usually sell cut dreadstones for 140-150g.

- One run yields about 40g in grey/white items
- One run yields 5 green items, which is roughly 70g
- One run yields 4 blue items, which is roughly 24g
- One run yields 1 epic item, which is rougly 22g (more for ToC/ICC instances, but for simplicity I haven't included those)
- One run yields on average 6 x 5 = 30 emblems, which is 3 gems, which is roughly 300-450g depending on server and prices
- One run yields 14g x 5 = 70g in cash (using lfg tool)

That totals 526-676g per run (depending on gem prices). If you can run 4 instances per hour, that's roughly 2100-2700g per hour - of course less if you can average 3-3.5 instances per hour.

That's the steady income part. Add to that epic BoE drops (like hilts), sale of primordial saronite (800-900g in like 10-15 minutes), tradeskill items etc. etc. I'd still prefer the passive moneymakers (tailoring / gems) any day, but if you insist on a boring grind, I think heroics are currently more efficient for a multiboxer.

The all-time favourite is of course the AH if you know how to play it. I'll gladly admit that even though I read all the AH-rider weblogs and know how to make money like that in theory, I find it boring as hell and prefer the steady income of cooldowns (especially now that I'm mostly focusing on my raid-char anyway).

This is what i do, people should pay attention to this if you cant be botherd to play around with ah for hours.

even better when hilts drop, that gph stastic just shot up

So a note on this post, over the last week my server's economy is crashing, I am thinking it may have to do with the Lich King being released and now people are rethinking their long term plans. Battered Hilts have dropped from 20k down to 12k (and even then are sitting in the AH for days) and Dream Shards have dropped from 12g to 6g. A lot of mats are just not selling at all, it seems like some people are just dumping mats on the market at crazy low prices just to get rid of them.
The question would be, on all your past experiences will these mats come back in price or is this the new pricing going forward? I have not monitored this sort of drop closely before and so have no reference point.

Dream shards etc inflated because of the new LFGsystem, pretty obvious i'd say. I don't think that price will go up again. Same goes for other wotlk enchanting mats.

Hilts prices were high in the beginning since demand > supply. Now it's getting to an even point, which will probably be below 12k. Don't think that price will rise again either.

[Gorkette]

Agreed. At the moment demand > supply. Possible supply shortage will occur again after Cataclysm and everyone moves out of Northrend. Much like how BC enchanting mats are now.
