How to Make Money after 6.1?

[Wubsie]

I can also confirm this to be accurate for EU as well, although it appears that our profits are slightly lower. I run a total of 24 barns currently. I 10-box, but only 8 accounts have access to lvl 3 barns, so as the mathematically gifted among you might surmise, it's 3 teams with 8 toons trapping. It is very quick to get the traps with so many toons. basically one cast and the mobs are ready to be trapped. While pulling more the main problem is being able to trap fast enough without killing them. I do my trapping every 3-4 days or so.

Currently this is yielding around 6500 Fur and 624 Savage bloods from one set of work orders, and on my realm's current prices that is the equivalent of around 65k about twice a week, or 130k per week. On top of it, I'll do my weekly kills of Kazzak on all 30, meaning around 300 Felblight (around 24k) and occasionally kill the token rares in Tanaan Jungle on a single team when I'm bored at home. I average about 4-5 tokens from killing all four, or around 17-22k. I would say I do that maybe 2-3 times a week, so that is anywhere from 34k to 66k on average.

I do run Cata heroics still, but they tend to get a bit tedious so I occasionally skip out on them on some teams. Especially since I've now hit the token cap (qq blizz fix pls) and can only use gold to pay for 2 of the accounts. I should always do them since with a 10-box it's an easy 35k per team, but I don't want to play the game just to grind.

Oh and one more thing to note:

The Eye of Observation could still be good profit on some realms. It's a pet that drops from a world mob that takes 5 characters to activate. Easy enough to kill, but the unlocking and low-ish drop rate give us a slight advantage on it. I've sold numerous copies of the pet at 7-8k each. The mob is lootable once per day.

My server (Chamber of Aspects eu) is dead and has been flagged for new players.. nothing sells. I need to find another server.

Alrighty! I have added up how much gold I made this week with my raid routine. Total for the week - 23,280g. Breakdown below.


Took roughly two hours to clear these instances with a 5x hunter team. Vendored pretty much everything. Each instance took around 20-30 minutes to complete - including travel time.

250g x 5 from bosses + ~130 from drops
1,380g total

Still making 100k+ a week from Barns and felblights. I have 4 teams this week.. i just checked my mail and had 76K and only sold half my stuff so far. It will be a 150K week im guessing. I also have two of the mounts to sell, so far, from the holiday dailies. They are selling for 50K right now.. im going to wait until after the wintervale dailies are gone to sell mine.

What do you need that much for? Sitting at around 100k, got bored and stopped farming it.

You dont pay for your subs with tokens? Most here do and I need 38k per account per month.

What kind of time investment am I looking at to start barns fresh? I guess I don't even know what barns are...

^^^this ..plus it's fun! when it stops being fun.. ill do somthing else. And it has very little time investment, once you have teams set up with lvl3 barns. With the holiday dailies, im spending more time than normal..a few hours a day to cycle the dailies on 4 teams + the trapping, and tagging of Kaz once a week.

If you want to pay for game time with ingame tokens, chances are there is a more effective way than to just farm/craft on your own realm.

My main realm is Kazzak-Eu, one of biggest pve servers out there. I've a fairly nice pile of gold here. Champion's honor goes typicall between 10 and 15k, a couple of weeks ago they were even as low as 8k. Temporal crystal have been selling anywhere from 50 to 80g per. Checked a couple of other big realms, and the prices fluctuate a lot. On Outland-Eu the champion's honor badges are in big demand and go for 20-25k, with spikes to 30k. Temporal crystals go for near 200g per here. Bought what I could with my gold on kazzak, transferred a low lvl over to outland and doubled my gold pretty much that I was gonna spend on tokens (since they are the same price on every realm in your zone).

So for spending 1x 20 euro I got nearly 40 months of play time for free.

So I'm sitting on about 6 million gold at the moment. I don't do dailies and I don't grind old dungeons for gold.

I buy cheap herbs off the AH (less than a gold each) and use it on a few scribes (I think I have 6 scribes) to make stacks of ink. Once a month I make omen cards in bulk and flip them. I flip something like 10-15k cards and gross 50k+ gold. Flipping is tedious but doing it on 5 toons while watching tv or something isn't as bad.

With the help of some garrison addons (Garrison Mission Manager and Master Plan) and an inn I recruited many followers with scavenging and they bring all the resources to the yard. With a trading post, I use those resources to get any materials I need to keep all the level 3 crafting huts on all my toons going.

I run a couple of barns but I could do more. I'm often lazy and couldn't be bothered to go out and trap wolves half the time. I trade in primal spirits for bloods. I roll the blood as well as the piles of felblight I get from Kazzak into upgrade tokens. I use an alchemist to transmute the sorc elements into whatever I need, it's generated in bulk by my various profession huts working non-stop.

I easily do 100-200k of upgrade tokens a week. This will dry up eventually, though maybe not, as people will want to upgrade items for the new transmog system in the future.

I have a ton of tailors to put all that barn fur to work with, I have the capability to whip up a hexweavebagocalypse and completely crash that market if I felt like it. Instead I list a few bags here and there and have outfitted all of my teams with all hexweave bags. I also have friends who I buy fur and other resources from if I'm too lazy to do my barns (because I'd rather give my gold to friends than strangers).

I periodically gather 20 stacks of crit/haste/mastery/multistrike green quality gems and turn them into blue ones with my JCs and list them on the AH in small quantities. If the prices go too low you don't have to list. Just wait for it to go back up again. Tues/Wed/Thur nights are the best time to post this.

I've got 33 of my ever-increasing arsenal (I'm transitioning from 3box to 5box atm) of 100s sitting at 675 ilevel with a majority of their followers also at 675.
I've accomplished this via War Mills/salvage yards (for followers) and doing premade Ashran or other such tomfoolery (baleful + apexis shards, LFR, whatever). A couple thousand honor gets you some nice 700+ ilevel gear, it doesn't take long to reach 675. (With the premade group I run with, there's a lot of comradery and it's generally not an intolerable ragefest.)

Why 675? In a recent patch they added special missions available once per week.
http://www.wowhead.com/mission=682/o...imilarmissions You can see them here.
Some of the rewards aren't worth that much anymore, like the pets and the toy, but others still sell for some (Ogre cache, rep token, mount, 300% xp potion) while others sell for a nice amount (the honor/conq token sells for ~15kish on my server). The setup takes a little effort, but on a good week you're bringing in a few hundred thousand gold for clicking a button.

I go through my salvage crates on toons once or twice a month and take anything that is lower than level 60 and sells for more than 100g on my server and throw it on the AH and vend almost everything else (there are a few exceptions, the transmog market on my server is really fubar or I'd make much more).

For prices, crafting, and auctioning, I'm rocking Trade Skill Master 3 with the external app. The app downloads my AH signatures regularly so I don't need to scan, I always know how much things are worth, and I have queues set up so one the one or two visits to each toon per week I quickly get their crafting done. I'd suggest hitting up Stormspire and watching some tutorials. TSM is a bit weird to set up but once you've got everything set up and you get used to it, it's quite smooth.

Don't undercut too much, a silver or two is fine and won't tank the market. Do 2-3 ah reposts per day, I do one in the morning, one when I get home from class, and one before bed. Be patient, it will often sell for your asking price, you just have to wait for it.

You may want to look at old crafting patterns and see if anyone is listing the items and how much they're selling for. If there's something that isn't listed very often, you might want to try making one. For a while I was selling Bloodvine Lenses for 12k gold. I was also selling crafted mail chest and belt (Felstalker) for 11k each, slow moving, but the felstalker chest/belt matches the outfit that Lady Liadrin's little hunter things wear out in Talador and people who want to dress their hunters up in that outfit will buy it. (I get air by farming it with a gas sucker up thing and/or slaughtering elementals up at the throne, and/or transmuting water to air.)

One quirk I've noticed about the AH, at least on my server, is people will buy my Felblight/Savage Blood when I put it on the AH in spite of it being 30-50g more expensive per item than the lowest price. What am I doing? I'm listing my items in stacks of 15. Enchanting crystals? Stacks of 15. People HAAAAATE clicking buy multiple times and it seems like they'll pay substantially more to get their instant gratification now instead of having to click and count.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
