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

[Ualaa]

I'm basically doing 15 dailies per toon, not 24.
So that accounts for the gold discrepancy between the routes.

I'm essentially following the Icecrown portion of the guide posted a while back.
Chilkoot of Medihv, was the poster; not sure the d-b.com user.

All my flyers are 280%, and then the add in the Pally aura for the main team only.
First team is ~4500 GS, the other teams aren't much more geared then dinged 80th in quest/AH blues.

I hate farming, but i would rather do dailies, almost 1850 gold in just about 45 mins on main team(all my toons have 310% mounts), and about 55 mins on on one of my 3 off teams, so in 4 hours i could have around 7500 gold from dailies+greens and misc items, plus 2k from transmutes(if the gems dont proc, all my alchs are transmute spec), and another w/e amount of gold from my 5 tailor transmutes.
That's over 10k gold in 5 hours.
So no Herbalism+dealing with ah is not the best gold maker for a boxer.

Not everyone has 4 teams at 80 to do dailies every day, not to mention that is just as grindy as farming herbs/ore. I understand you are saying how you personally make money. But in a per hour basis you are making 2k, every 4 days and a little less per hour other times. If people are in a similar situation to yourself then obviously they can do that but for people with one or two teams there is no better way to get more money per hour mathematically. Also the startup costs for getting 20 characters with alchemy + tailoring can be pretty expensive in it's own right. If you have 20 characters to do dailies on obviously it would only take about a week to get the money to do so.

Again. What professions can make more per hour than this without having every character you own have a proc it can use once a day? Dailies do not count as it can only be done once a day per team. I'm asking this on a SINGLE TEAM basis, NOT for 20+ characters.

Ever since I've been able to run the PvP dailies in Grizzly Hills, I've done them on a daily basis to both gain the xp to level my team up faster plus for the fast cash. I know it ain't much, but it can be fast also and I can get around 20g+ from just the gold portion of the quest turnins. Not sure how much a lvl 80 would get from these, I haven't checked wowhead yet, but could be a good looking into. Just run the kill quests there instead of the collections ones and don't bother with the one where you gotta sink the ship after taking over the harbor. I also run the one on the west side of GH from the camp where you gotta burn the troll bodies up near the Drak'Tharon steps. I toss the molitov's on different spots on each toon to get the kills, but still good xp+gold for me right now. I'll add my list of dailies I've been running for both leveling and gold here after I log back into my toons.

One thing I have been thinking about tho. I know that a tapped out JC can make good money off grinding BGs and spending HPs on mats. I've tried this on one of my Rets that has Enchanting. I've grinded the Grizzly Hills dailies and spent the extra coins on the gear there and DE them to get the shards. Would a full team with both JC and Ench both make damn good money? With the armor/weapon vellums from Inscriptionists, I've managed to level up pretty easy from DEing almost all greens and non usable blues from instance runs by enchanting these scrolls and either using them for my teams or selling them on the AH. But, will the PvP gear DE at all? If so, would it be worth it?

But in a per hour basis you are making 2k, every 4 days.

transmute cd is 20h

[Naysayer]

i dunno. grinding resource nodes just seems stupid as a multiboxer. any solo player can do it just as effectively, but they can't do multiple daily quests at the same time or pop multiple transmute cooldowns, which is what we specialize in.

you go enjoy your retarded resource grind fighting bots and other mindless resource node grinders for 6 hours a day, just to equal what I make in an hour while you keep telling me that transmutes and 15 characters worth of easy dailies doesn't count and that you win WoW.

if i don't even feel like playing WoW for a day i can log in and make thousands within a few minutes and log back out. resource grinding is for tards. it will seriously make your brain melt.

[Naysayer]

i dont even understand why this is being debated.

[Gorkette]

Agreed @Naysayer. I cannot understand why someone would want to grind nodes for 5 hours. I will take my daily runs and multiple transmutes and day of the year.

I also cannot see how the economy would not completely crash with you dumping that much volume in there each day.

[Khatovar]

@Naysayer - But dude, I can totally make like thousands farming Silk Cloth out of SM with my team! That's like a gold a stack and I can clear all 4 instances to avoid the reset cap!

@Shodokan - I don't know that your obsession for theorycrafting money is all about. This game has been out forever, people know how to make money. You want to discuss something, fine, but don't sit here telling people who have multiple teams and money to throw around for epic fliers, AH-leveled tradeskills, BOE epics or anything else they could possibly want, and still have a hefty nest egg that their means of earning "doesn't count". This is the same thing as you other "money" thread. You don't want help or learn, you just want to be right or lauded as some sort of hero, and that color looks ugly on everyone.

[boxblizzard]

my previous money maker was mining/engineer, was raking 1200 /hr. but i have noticed recently alot of unusual activity like above. nodes disappearing and no one is there.

this has really pissed me off, include having alot of heavy competition, even at early hours of the morning there is still people hard at work.

i cant keep up with the brain dead...

im just making gold now from heroic farming, seems to be a safe source of income for now, not the fastest but at least were stacking it using a brain

[Fuzzyboy]

What's the point? After discovering alchemy transmutes, I've long ago stopped doing anything for gold. It takes about 5 minutes to do my daily 8 transmutes and mail them to my JC'er to cut and put on the AH.

Even if 2k / hr was theoretically possible my zooming between nodes for hours, why would you want to? Seriously, once you've bought the basic gear, you're out of stuff to spend money on, unless you put a really high price on vanity gadgets like motorcycles and vendor-mammoths.

Yeah, I know, that's not why you asked, so kind of off-topic, but let me ask another question. Why is it relevant? Especially here.
