Post Your Gold Making tips here + a few of my guides

TheDoc

Introduction

I've been getting alot of PM's asking about gold making tips, and it sosmething I get over a number of forums I use. First of lets get one thing straight, I'm in no way the best at doing this. I'm only in the Ah game a month, but in that time I've made a lot of gold, but more importantly I have gathered a vast knowledge of markets, resources and skills to put to use to make me gold.

I'm going to write a comprahensive guide that can be used by the experience player or the novice, to help get gold. With the impending downtime and casualness of end of expansion, playing the AH can be very rewarding and fun, and can get you well prepared for the new expansion.

I'm going to cut the article into numerous parts but all will focus on the AH, professions discussions, flipping, mods to use, little tips and tricks etc.

I'm going to start of with the basics of professions and what you can do with them. (Note that I do not run all professions, so further developement is welcome from others)

I'd encourage discussion and debate, input and wisdom from all angels can only help make a better resource for us and others to use in the future.

Posts will be edited with material updates, charts and graphs to help better explain the concept in the coming hours,days,weeks.


Proffessions

Proffesions are your bread and butter money makers. You can pick two on your character and there are two categories of professions. I won't go into anal detail of every proff, but outline the main items that sell.

Gathering
these proffesions are feeders to others. They cannot be powerleved as such, and require the character to gather materials from the world around them. These materials can then be manipulated, used towards other proffesions or sold raw. These proffs are mining, herbalism and skinning.

Trade proffs
These proffs involve making items for characters to use, or items that can be used in other proffesions. They include Enchanting, Jewelcrafting, Engineering, Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Alchemy, Tailoring, Inscription

Gathering
Mining
Mining is a solid gathering proffesion to utilise through your levelling process and end game. Low level materials like mithril and fel iron ore still sell for a signifcant amount on the AH. Mining materials tie into a number of other proffesions and have some good output at endgame.

Titansteel bars
These used to sell for between 150-200g each, as they had a 24 hour cooldown. They now however have no cooldown. This had led to the price dropping due to the increase in supply. Titan bars are bread and butter material in most 226 and 245 crafted gear for mail and plate wearers. They are also used in a number of other crafted gear. They are most commonly bought for new alts gearing up.

Saronite ore
Saronite ore is available easily. An hour famring should get you plenty of stacks. The price has dropped since the arrival of ICC, going for roughly 15 g a stack. This price drop though, has led to alot of miners giving up farming. Miners who have stuck with getting Saronite have seen their stack count increase since ICC's release. These are bought by JC's performing saronite shuffles, other miners to smelt into titanium and for 70-80 crafted sets.

Titanium Ore
Titty ore is a must get resource for every miner. A stack of 20 sells for usually 150-200g, and there is never enough supply for demand. The nodes can be scarce at times, but the reward is there, an hour farming session should yield atleast two stacks, but commonly up to 4. Titanium ore is used for titansteel creation and the titanium shuffle for Jewelcrafters.

Smelting for a free
Miners can turn raw ore into bars. This is a requirement for most crafting sets, that the ore be turned into bars. It is not common for someone in trade to be looknig for a miner to smelt some bars. If you are hanging around waiting for a raid start or a friend, keep an eye on people lokonig for a miner to smelt titansteel. Offer your services in trade. Remember that titinsteel still sells for about 90-100g a bar, whilst a stack of titanium goes for 150g and yields 6 titansteels( with added matts of eternals). You are a better option for players then buying titansteel outright.

Herbalism

Gathers herbs from around the world used in the creation of flasks,pots, elixirs and inscription glyphs and offhands.

Herbalism doesnt give many bonuses like mining, however as a herbalist your raw materials sell alot higher. Frost lotus, lichbloom and icethorn are always in demand and sell for a decent amount. Old world herbs sell for an insanely large amount.

Scan your AH to see what herbs sell most, then take an hour out to go grab a few stacks and make a good amount of gold. Icecrown is an easy spot to build up large amounts of icethorn,lichbloom and frost lotus.

Skinning

Skinning provides matts used in creating armour among other things. I dont run with a skinner so I'd encourage someone else perhaps with some experience to throw their two cents in.

Saronites go for bout 500-600g on my server at the moment, you should get the gold to get them easy in no time.

Primordial saronite goes for 1-1.2k on my server. Medium pop RP server with a weird AH :S

I got maxed JC and Mining. Having been moving much cut gems lately as Raw Gems went up in price but JC sellers haven't adjusted their price upwards.

I have 1.2k atm after buying some primordial saronite and raid flasks. Tempted to try flipping but i'm not 100% confident in it. I'm going to watch the wow confidential videos for tips.

Jewelcrafting

Jewelcrafting used to be one of the most expensive profesisons to level, and yielded the most profit. It is still a quality professions. It produces gems for gear, which is always in demand. Unfortunately due to the advent of easy badges and the increase in honour rewarded , the gem market has taken a ahrd hit, but it is still an absolute money maker.

Stock management and posting
Gems are the most common item to get undrecut. I'd advise putting them up for 12 hour auctions, at a maximum of three a cut. You dont want to put 10 of a cut up, because not only might you only sell 1, if you get undercut, your loosing out on 9 or 10 potential sales, instead of just 1-2.
12 hour auction timing
3-4 max of each cut

Basic gem flipping

You see a cardinal ruby on the AH, uncut, for 80g. You realise you can cut it and make 140g. So you buy the gem, cut it and relist. This is gem flipping.

You buy the gem with the intention of making it better, and selling it higher. This is essential for what we want to achieve.

Epic gems
Your bread and butter. You take and epic gem and cut it into a cut gem. This now gives the gem stats to add to gear. Gems are colour co-ordinated and some gems fit two colours. What is essential to know is what colour gems give what.
You need to spend 4 dalaran token to buy a cut pattern, and you get these tokens from the daily quest, 10 titanium powder or damaged necklaces. Early on in your JC career, its best to try take the most basic patterns, and get one of each colour to cover yourself.

Its essential to read up on classes to see what spec uses what gem.

Here is a list of each gem and a short comment on each.

Eye of Zuul
Green gem. These are a low cost gem, usually costing about 50g uncut. They are pretty cheap and they dont sell for an awful lot. They are one of the most unused epic gem ingame. There are however some very rare pvp cuts and pve cuts that entise some specs.

I'd advise only buying these if you can see decent profit coming from them. My opaque cuts get me 160g a gem, so its worth my while picking up some of these a week.

Note this gem provides two stats and is not a pure stat gem.

Cardinal Ruby
Used to be the powerhouse of gems. This gem, when cut proivdes pure stats ( 20str, 20armp etc). However with the gem crash, rubies took the hardest hit. The gem usually sells for about 90-100 uncut, but the cuts usually only pull in a max 50g profit.

Best cuts?
Bold cardinal ruby [ dk,warrior and ret paladins stack these]
Fractured cardinal ruby [ hunters and rogues eat these with some fury warriors]
Runed cardinal ruby [ mostly anyone who casts a spell uses these]
Delicate cardinal ruby [ hunters and rogues ]

King's Amber
The new powerhouse gem. Also a pure gem ( 20int, 20 haste etc). This gem usually goes uncut for about 90g but can yield income of over 180-200g a cut. I'd advise making this your most important gem.

Best cuts?
**forget names will edit later**
+20 int [all holy paladins use these]
+20 haste [ shamans love these]
+20 hit [ for new dinged characters with epics]
+20 defense rating [ tanks ]

Majestic Zircon
The tanking gem. This gem gets cut into 20 stam which is used by every tank in every slot. Other then that the cuts vary drastically. I would maybe loko at grabbing a couple a week, as the uncut version is rather expensive. You will get roughly 20-30g profit from each cut, but will always sell.

Best cuts?
Solid majestic zircon [ all tanks use these]

Ametrine
Another gem that got hit hard in the crash. Ametrines are another double stat gem ( sp crit, sp haste etc). They used to be the biggets profit maker but like cardinal rubies have taken a hit hard. Ametrines should cost you about 80g uncut and the cuts will grab you between 20-40g profit.

Best cuts?
Reckless Ametrine [ mages stack these along with warlocks and resto/balance druids]
Inscribed Ametrine [ dk's were mad for these, might have changed]
Potent ametrine [ balance druid essentials]


Dreadstone
Dreadstones are another double stats gem. Dreadstones are one of the most profitable ones you can get oddly. They have some really good cuts spread across all specs. The uncut gem will set you back 80g but you will make mostly 50g profit a cut.

Best cuts?
Regal Dreadstone
Purfified Dreadstone
Royal Dreadstone
Balanced dreadstone

****Note****
There is possibly loads of more better or good cuts, these are the ones I have found best around my server.

Saronite shuffle
Saronite ore, costs 15g a stack. Pick these up and prospect. The matts you get can sell for more then 25g so your making a profit. You can also use the green gems to craft certain rings and necklaces that vendor for up to 4g making this a decent profit. Bit time consuming and low return for my liking.

Titanium shuffle
The monster and the BESt way a JC will make money. Titanium ore used to cost 250-300g. Nowadays you can pick it up for 150g a stack, but the profit is still the same!.Prospecting titanium ore gives you the chance of an epic gem, titanium poweder, green and blue gems. Now lets see what we get for our 150g.

Epic gem = 120g ( average estimate)
Titanium powder x8 = 180g ( 10 of these gets you a Dal token)
Blue gems = 15g
Green gems = 5g

Lets take this example. From 1 stack of prospecting you get.
Epic gem, 8 green gems, 3 rare gems, 8 titanium powder.

That is about 400g. So you have made 250g profit. Do that on 5 stacks... you feeling me?
This is the money maker imo, and where I make thousands. If you see someone always selling alot of titanium ore, then ingame mail them, ask can you cut a deal for buying maybe 5-10 stacks a week at maybe 120g a stack, and your profit gets higher.

At first use the titanium powder to get yourself some more patterns. You will still break even after selling the powder, but youll get your patterns faster and get into taking full return faster.


Jc'ing is powerhouse to make money in if you play it right. At times youll have alot of inventory but it needs patience. Set your threshold ( the price you wont go under) and you will make money I assure you.

This proffession takes up the most bag space apart from inscription and requires alot of bank and mailbox running.

You will also notice that outside of prospecting Titty ore, you arnt getting massive income per gem cut.

The idea is you build up your inventory from flipping uncut gems and the gems you get from titty crushing.

1 gem might get you 40g profit, but ten gets you 400, and you get the picture.

Also note that gems sell best on a Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The best time is from 9pm- 1am and on saturday afternoon.

This is when most raids take place, and buying gems happens after raid.

Keep an eye on trade. There are alot of folk stockpiling gems from honour to sell of in a lump. What they dont realise is their potential value. You will regularly see someone selling 10 gems for 700-800g or 20 for 1500g. Whisper them, try get their price down a little lower then buy them up.

If you dont have patterns, but realise a certain pattern sells for loads and you have the gems, go find a JC'er with the pattern, give him his tip then you go sell it and make the profit.

Tailoring

Tailoring is based mainly around gear crafting but has some pretty nice off pieces that sell for alot. Tailoring is a bitch to max out and requires alot of investment to gain good stock levels, but the pay off is good.

Speciality cloths
These consist of Ebonweave,Spellweave and Moonshroud. They used to sell very well, unfortunately the cooldown was removed so their price shattered. They still however sell for a decent amount and sell faster. They are used in all the cloth ulduar, toc and icc crafted patterns.
I wouldnt advise making these for sale, they still require eternals which arnt always cheap. Have a look on your server and see if its worthy but I doubt it.

Crafted items
This isnt really your bread and butter, but an option none the less. With the fall in price of special cloth and the removal of cooldowns, and the obvious price drop in frozen orbs, crafted gear might be worth a punt.

Bejeweled wizard bracers
are still incredible for warlocks, mages and shadow priests outside of ICC 25 and heroic gear. The matts arnt that drowning, and you should expect 2000g minimum for a pair.
Ulduar boots and belt
Matts for these are relatively cheap, and they are still quality items. Available in crit or haste variations of each, these should cost a couple of hundred gold but net you over 2000g a craft.
Merlins Robes
Casters wet dream at ding. Merlins robe are a little pricey to make but you should definitely get back about 4000g.
ICC patterns
Expensive to make, hwoever some servers have seen a primo saronite crash. Might cost a few thousand to make, but you should receive a good chunk back. Frostwoven leggings go for about 10-12k on my server with the deathfrost boots getting about 6k. Not a bad return.

All of the above except the icc patterns are items aimed at new alts. They will remain with the player until they reach icecrown so players will part the few thousand since they wont replace them anytime soon.

Leg enchants
Big money earner. Every cloth wearer needs these leg enchants. come in two brands, brilliant or saphire. One with sp spirit, the other with sp stam. Matts for these are not too expensive, but they sell for about 200g a pop. You are looking at about 50g profit on each, and they usually sell pretty fast.

Bags
Bread and butter. When you made your alt whats the first thing you did when you got to a mailbox? Picked up your bags you jsut bought? Yes. The world and its mother goes amd for bags. Heres a rundown on the main ones.

Netherweave bags
Your main bag. These sell so fast you wont be able to keep stock. Go for between 12-17g each, and cost about 4 gold to make if even. The quantity you will shift will make you a severe amount of gold. Remember, cataclysm is coming, alot of new worgens and goblins.

Frostweave bags
When a character hits 80 they replace their netherweave with these. Matt cost is a little higher, but they sell for between 40-70g a piece. Slower moving then netherweave but you should see 3 move in a day.

Glacial bag
Your big bag. Has a cooldown and requires some speciality cloth to make. Goes for 500g on my server and theres no other tailor that bothers making them. Make it every week. Its a once off 500 g a week that everyone could use .

Abyssal bag
This one is under the radar. This bag is for warlock only, but if you play an afflic warlock you know whats so annoying, bag space gone to shards. This is a 32 slot bag for warlocks, earned from exalted rep with the ebon blade faction. Matts are relatively cheap comapred to the return. You should net between 300-500g a bag depending on how many competitors you have on your server.


Tailoring can be a chore to make money from. It takes alot of matts. It does however return high income and the items sell very quickly. With the massiv eprice drops in frostweave and netherweave, and the drop in price of specialist cloth, there is definitly big money to be made here.

TheDoc

Enchanting

Ask anyone who ever made a truck of money and they will all have something in common. "We have enchanters". Enchanting is a chore to powerlevel, and its a high cost material professions, but the steady flow of items outbound and the stady high flow of income makes it worthwile.

Weapon and armour vellums
These are required to post scrolls onto the AH. You cast your enchant onto the scroll in your bag and it makes it for you. SCROLLS HAVE NO DEPOSIT FEE ON THE AH. Major benefit when your posting loads of scrolls. Weapon and amrour scrolls cost pennies these days so buy in stacks of 20 and repurchase when you need.

Weapon enchants
These are the big earner for you. They are high cost but yield high profit. These patterns cost 4 dream shards each to learn. Dream shards cost about 5 gold on my server, so 20g for a high value pattern is nothing... here are your major ones
Beserking
Used by every melee class on every weapon. These sell for between 500-700g,
Mongoose
Still used today by many a player, price is varying
Black magic
Mages and warlocks love this. EJ calls black magic better then spellpower on mainhand, so these will sell for about 350-400g each.
Spellpower mainhand/staff
Every caster that doesnt want black magic wants this. Again goes for between 300g and up

Stock depends on yourself, like I said the matt cost can be high, but the return is huge. I usually put 2 of each up on the AH with one in my bags incase I sell both.

Armour enchants
Another big earner. Cost isnt as high as weapons but neither is the return. However its a much more constant flow. Uses armour vellums.
+10 stats
Pretty much everyone ingame uses this. I'd normally shift 2-3 a day. go for between 150-250g
Armsman gloves
Expertise on gloves. Used by most melee classes. Expertise is always a nuisance for them. Sells for about 250g
Tuskars vitaly/icewalker
The two main boot enchants everyone uses. Should nab you over a 100g each.

These are your big ones. however do invest into the speed on cloak, defense on chest and other enchants as they present themselves.

Being able to do most enchants, lets you lurk trade. In some downtime before raid starts its not uncommon for me to net about 100g from just gathering tips from people wanting enchants. 100g from me clicking a button, sure thing pal

DE Matts

Here is another big earner potentially, although the advent of the DE option in dungeons etc has nerfed this substantially. DE'ing green and blue items will give you infinite dust and dream shards and essences. DE'ing epics give you abyss crsystalls. You can abyss shatter, and get dust and shards from epics. Dont ever do this!!!!

Dream shard go for about 5g now on most high pop realms. With DE'ing green items and buying these, you can have your main patters in no time.

Infinite dust doesnt sell much, but its your bread and butter matt so you might aswell hang onto these.

Abyss crystals go for about 30-40g a pop. Definitely save these for your weapon enchants.

Leaving it there for now, holy **** that passed some nice time in work

Hopefully it stimulates some discussion, debate, and life in this forum

Flipping

Flipping is the art of buying something cheap and re-selling it to make profit. Flipping applies to absolutely every market. The best way to flip is using auctioneers tool "Resale".

Flipping is a risky business. You can play it small buying items for a few gold and selling them a few gold more. But you can invest 5k gold into flipping and see a return of 20k. Flipping is the fastest way to make gold, with little effort, but this is countered by the risk that something jsut wont sell.

Make sure that every day you log in with auctionner you open the AH and type

/auc getall

This is the new scan feature and takes 3-6 minutes. Do this daily and youll get more accurate pricing reports.

How do I flip?

Market familiarity
This is the most absic art of flipping and one you develop over time. This essentially boils down to you identifying something that is cheaper then usual, and you make a call. Heres some examples.

1) You notice a cardinal ruby , uncut, is selling for 80g. You know you can turn it into a Bold Cardinal ruby and make 150g. So you buy it, cut it and flip it. Job done.

2) You notice a stack of infinite dust going for cheaper then normal. You buy the dust, collect it and just relist it. Easy work job done.

3) You notice as you go to post oe of your gems, that theres someone selling Reckless ametrines for 80g each, when you sell yours for 150g. You buy out their reckless ametrines, colelct and resell. Easy work job done.

This is the easiest way of flipping. It is also the most safest because you know what you are dealing with, its the mats and items you deal with every week.

"Resale" flipping
Here comes the risky part. Auctioneer has a mod called "resale" built in. This scans the AH for items it recognises that are below normal pricing. The accuracy of the scan is better the more you scan the auction house.

So you open the search tab on the bottom and select resale form the options on the left.
Top left of this screen you will see search parameters. Enter the amount of profit you want and hit search on the bottom left.

To test, type in 500g profit and search. This will scan the AH and display to you, all the items that if you buyout and sell at normal price, you will make up to 500g profit. There is a column that shows potential profit from flipping this item.

The danger in doing this however is that there is no guarantee you will sell these flipped items. As they might be alien to you, you also wont know whats the going price. Hovering over the item will show a box at the bottom showing how many times auctioneer saw the item and what it sold for on average. This is indispensible to making your decision.

To start flipping this way start small. Type in 50 profit, then get used to using the modd and the process involved. See if your making your profits then gradually build up.

I have a testing character that only flips the AH. He had a 100g starting pot, he now sits at 3k gold after a week from just flipping low level items.

The main thing to understand is the more money you have to invest into flipping, the more you will make out of it.

Be careful and be smart when doing it and you should see a massive return. A recent example I had of flipping?

Yesterday I bought a 226 hunter belt. I bought it for 400g after "Resale" flagged it as potential profit. I sold the belt for 2500 gold within 12 hours of relist. So for just buying something and flipping, a 20 seconds process, I made 2100 gold.

Imagine you did a flip like that five times a week? Thats 10k gold, for what? For just investing 2000 gold , pretty easy hu ? Flipping does have its risks and I have been bitten ( I bought a pair of icc25 boe wrists for holy paladins for 3k with the notion they would go for 10k, im still trying to sel lthem 3 weeks in) but when you look back on your flipping over a month period you should have made a large amount.

The things to look for are ulduar and toc crafting patterns, iLevel 226,245 crafted items, and pretty much anything resale shows.

When you look at the item you are about to buy, MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE AUCTIONEER TOOLTIP. It will tell you how many it has seen sold, and what value they went for.

EXAMPLE OF A BAD FLIP

You see Resale shows and item that you can buy for 3k that sells for 10 normally. You just buy it and relist it at 10k. Your confused, you have been putting this up for 4 weeks and no one is biting, whats wrong?

WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE FLIP?

You didnt check Auctioneers tooltip on the item, if you did, youd see auctioneer has only seen the item sell once. That means i nthe time you have been using auctioneer and the auction house, there has been one item put up. That doesnt mean rarity, that means it wasnt worth selling for most people. You have jsut been stung.

EXAMPLE OF A GOOD FLIP

Resale shows a crafted pattern at a 200g buyout. You hover over it and the auctioneer tooltip reveals it has seen the pattern sell over 60 times for 1200 gold. You buy the pattern and relist it for 1000g. It sells within a few hours.

Notice how you dropped the price by 200g of the average. Your still making profit, dont get greeedy. A flip works best the least amount of time you have it in your bags. You made 800g quickly, good job!

Gummy Panda

Great tips doc!

I'm going to grab quick king's amber pattern tonight. I overlooked it but king's amber sale for 90g and the +20 haste cut sells for 200g. Nice amount of profit.

I made a decent amount from gem flipping and saronite shuffle last night.

2 Espressi

That's some very impressive work TD, thank you for sharing!
I need to start watchign the ore/bar price ratio, up to now I'd been taking it for granted that the bars were worth more, but ores seem to be creeping up in value at the moment as well.

Regarding the Gems, Shammy likes :
+20 Haste yellow Gem - Quick Kings Amber
+10 Haste +12SP Orange Gem - Reckless Ametrine

TechnoPool

anyone way ive done the last while is to watch the JC'ing daily and what green gem you need to make the item, then i stick around 15-20 of each or w/e one it is on the ah for around 8-10g , not much but usually brings in around 200g or so extra a day and takes 30 seconds to do.

Nehaxak

In regards Leatherworking - on my hunter I bought the Lunar Eclipse Robes (Leather Healing Chestpiece) from the AH for 100g.
Mats are 8 x Crusader Orbs, 8 x Arctic Fur, 24 x Heavy Borean Leather, 20 x Eternal Life.

I've been selling the completed Lunar Eclipse Robes for 5,500g the last few weeks (when I'm bothered!) after I've added cheap gems and a cheap chest enchant to it.
You should be able to buy the complete mats for around 1,000g if not less, depending on your server, so 4,500g profit minus the AH cut.

ravydavygravy

I've took the plunge as well, but started small - the only valuable thing I can make now is Titansteel, so I buy the mats as cheap as possible on the AH (no time to farm), make the bars and sell them - profit is not huge, but its a good way to start - to make a bar, the mats cost ~75-80g on our realm and the bars sell for 110-120g each. Sometimes the price of the bars drop to 95g when the AH gets flooded, but I stick to my guns and place bulk lots of 5 bars for 550g - they seem to sell anyways. I'll also buy up stuff thats < 100g, and resell it - small profit, but keeps the general price up.

Once my confidance in buying/selling is up, I may reroll my skinning as a crafting profession, and see how that goes. Seems like there is major profit to be made on epic crafted gear.

I'll have a relook at that over the coming week or so.

Me and my money making partner reworking out markets, revaluating prices etc. Can possibly release some more detailed information alright, see how it goes and you might get an update

Gummy Panda

Doc,

What addons do you use for AH?

Do you use an addon to check for undercuts or do you just wait out your auctions hoping that the person who has undercut you sells quickly?

Had a massive post done up yesterday, really indepth.

Netowrk in work crashed and i lost the post and literally freaked out.

I'll do it up again tonight.

I've also started a blog ( gay)

http://n3rdl1f3.wordpress.com

I plan to update it regularly with many things, but I'm putting up a WoW section with a gold making subsection with tips etc, that I'll keep updated with new stuff.

I'll do up a little addon guide when I get home today since im not doing anything else

Gummy Panda

Anyone else's AH just die a death?

Mine has really slowed down. Stuff that sells fast is taking an age to sell even with decent undercutting.

I think it's the summer holidays and people winding down before cata.

I'm going to throw it on my blog, I ****ing forget half the stuff I wrote which is really annoying.

I'll be writing a little piece on addons and how to use them effectively, I'll post here when its done.

My AH hasnt slowed down, its just had severe price crashes. I decided to make leggings of woven death to see their sell speed, put em on the AH and very slow to move, I'm the only guy with them on the AH at 8.5k gold and just non movers.

We had a very slow week due to my partner crashing the glyph market on purpose, and with me tieing up gold in those legs and having a pretty poor weeks trading, we pulled in only 5k.

However if the legs sell, that profit goes to 13k and would be our best week, crazy isnt it.

Mobile / web AH is out of beta now too so no more free AH checking in work! €2.99 pm boo!

Na nothing quite as in depth as that! Maybe what addons you use for auctions. Have been looking around websites for a few suggestions but they are usually out of date.

And maybe any tips or hints to find out what are the big sellers/most profitable items on your realm. Obviously the prices in the AH in each realm differs so what might be profitable in one is not in another. Is there a method to figuring these items out? Is it trial and error, or luck or is there method for figuring it out? I find it easy enough to get to the 2k mark just questing and buying & selling but struggling to make real profits.

Not that much to ask! Lol

Yeah have Tailoring and Enchanting. I was stupidly leveling my Enchanting by enchanting my own stuff. I know this is ok at the lower levels but have started putting some on vellums and they are selling fairly well. I'm finding that the last few levels of enchanting to be expensive, on 435 at the moment.

Have one more point to finish tailoring. Of the things you have already recommended for tailoring which would be the best to make with not a lot of money (bags aside making them whenever I can).

Sorry for all the questions but the guide inspired me to see if I could make a bit of money in WoW as an aside from questing!

Oh and thanks for the answers and guides

I've been trying to make a afew quid with Titansteel bars over the last few weeks, but any time I get over 5k I start spending it on silly stuff. I think I managed to get the [Superior] achievement entirely though the AH...

This blog has a few interesting ideas, depends again on your server prices, but well worth a look.
