[Advice] How to increase the efficiency of my farming

Hi guys!

Basically I run a small 4 bot farm (all on different servers).

Currently they generate 25k per week each (i generally sell on the same day each week).

What i do is:

Farm with wintergrasp switcher OR safeprofile 24/7.
Post everything on the AH in the morning and again in the evening (12h auctions).
Smelt ALL saronite and vendor.
Prospect titanium and sell raw gems.

All of this and only 25k a week (per account)?




Any advice on improving my turnover?

Thanks in advance, Jack

 

get a second profession

 

I have a JC, Enchanter and Alch. Is it worth spending the time crafting instead of farming?

 

If you want to get the total max out of your farmed stuff you have to do something with it JC, Enchanting, Alch...but if you don't want to spend that time you just sell the stuff..

 

What do you do regarding the other proffs? I've tried selling flasks etc but the raw mats go for more on this server :/

 

Wait a second, can anyone explain more noobie style what he means by those steps?

Farm with wintergrasp switcher OR safeprofile 24/7.
Post everything on the AH in the morning and again in the evening (12h auctions).
Smelt ALL saronite and vendor.
Prospect titanium and sell raw gems.

How do you farm in wintergrasp? Which profile do you use? What do you farm for?
Why only 12h auctions?
Do you mean you sell your saronite to vendors?
The prospect Im good with.

 

Have Mining and Herb as a 'base' and depending on your server, the mats and/or chants for enchanting could be worth alot, the same goes for leather/leatherworking, alchemy (for flasks, transmutations of bars/gems) and so on so forth. you have a good solid base I wouldn't worry about changingin it too much. Might look at setting up a 'side' farm for trying new things. Then as you can establish your own proof of concept, migrate it into your initial farming group. That way your not taking an even bigger risk if you know what i mean.

 

Hope that helped you out.

 

Thanks guys,

I'll take a look into some of the crafting proffessions (that im less familiar with) and get back to you!

Enchanting can be good as it supplies you with an extra base of mats to sell, extra gold, minimal effort.

 

25k per week is like 3500 gold per day.You could get 4500 g max with more time spent(professions(JC,enchanting), staying on the ah etc), but 3500 is very good, I would say that is not bad at all. If you want more $$$ you should get more accounts.

 

I've been thinking about this and as others have posted, the trouble with getting crafting professions is that you need to spend the time crafting. I want to spend as little time as possible so selling the mats would be the way to go for me, perhaps using a JC or alchemist for prospecting and cutting, and transmuting the saronite into titanium bars.

Just remember Cata is coming and all of todays raiding flasks, food, enchants, gems etc are going worth a lot less soon.
