Hey guys, it has been a while since I have seriously botted, and it seems to me that people are now buying battlechests and doing dungeon suicide runs? I actually have 9 battlechests from my last botting escapade, and I have used 1 to start leveling a DK to 90. I am only botting to fill my main's GB up with gold for the next expansion, or until all my chests get banned. I was wondering if anyone is successful ONLY USING battlechest accounts, and if they could share any tips. Should I try 24/7? I heard there is less risk if you max out at 16 hours. There more I read about people getting banned within 2-14 days, I think I may just go with old world mats and AH them or make stuff with them and sell it. Any tips will be helpful! Thanks, Terrorforprez
Very hard to answer. It feels like blizzard has stepped up is game since the ban wave and monitor more. Things may be slightly Calmer now. Generally suicide bots get banned faster from my experience than a few months ago. If I run the same profile over 4-5 hours I feel this flags me as I seem to get banned faster than if I swap profiles and zones. I find running dungeons 3 hours, grinding 3 hours and then gathering 3 hours in a mixture lasts longer than running one profile. But I've seen people 24/7 dungeons and survive for a good while.
Yeah I understand that they are banning often, but I am sitting here with 9 battlechests, and a main with 0 gold, so I have to give it a shot haha. Yeah I see suicide bots not lasting long, but I think if I do the pattern that you outline, and add another 3 hr shift for 12 hrs/day botting, and randomizing the times between 2.5-3.5 hours per shift with a break in between 2 shifts I think I could make my bot last a while. How much gold are you making per day? If I have to assume it's ~750g/hr, 12k/day just wondering if I could get lucky and run suicide bots for about a week 16 hours a day if I could have a very good ROI. Do you mean queuing up as a tank with 4 randoms? or making 5 accounts and doing randoms? Or randomizing a dungeon and traveling to its instance? With 4 randoms that seems to be very risky, 5 accounts it seems to be almost the same as suiciding, or running with 1 bot, and traveling to a dungeon instance actually might not seem like a bad idea now that I think of it, but it would certainly be a huge chunk of time traveling between them, so maybe 2 dungeons before traveling to the next one?
If you want a basically 0% banrate and you can make profiles yourself. Just level a bunch of rogues and pickpocket around mop. some places can get you over 800gph like this still if you know what you are doing. If you can't make your own profiles you could look into the profileless pickpocket bot in the store. I ran 30+ accounts like this 24/7 for at least 5 months before the software detection hit me pretty hard. Haven't been botting since then but I netted at least 300-500k/day (accumulatively not each ) with all my accounts accross a couple different realms. GL Avoid writing your pickpocket profiles around quest zones if you try this method.
I used battlechests for a while and would farm gold in a low level dungeon I made a profile for. I made sure to use a dungeon that no one else on my server used for botting. This went smooth for about a month with 25 accounts, but they all got auto-banned for economy reasons. I found that WoD accounts last though, I think battlechest accounts are monitored for gold farming more. I wrote an article on my experience with using battlechests to bot. Read it at: Why did 25 out of 27 of my wow bots get banned?
Great article! Yeah I will try WoD if my battlechest does not yield the results I would like it to. I have had the bot going for about 4 days now, so it only has 26 days of free time left. I will try to see if I could get a WoD key with the time that I have, and save it for another account that I can boost to 90, then see if I can get ~25k for another month of gametime on my bot account. I do not think I want to scale as much as you did, though it would be fun, I am just trying to get a great amount before the next xpak. Thank you!! Terrorforprez
I definitely 100% would not spam run dungeons. My friend just had 2 accounts banned within the first week of doing that, before he had any real profit at all to show from it.
take just one of those battle chests and upgrade it... get level 100, doing so will net you about 10kG maybe more.... then go g et a private script in tanaan.... in 2 days i've made almost 300k gold....
Alright, I was going to see if I could make ~80k (idk how much WoD keys are going for) and buy a chest doing that from my battlechest account before the 30 days is up. Leveling does yield a lot of money, and the only problem of me doing tanaan jungle with private scripts is that I have not done tanaan jungle, idk how to make gold from it, and if it is a early thing or if it will be consistent. Also i would not know who to go for for private scripts.
Making gold in Tanaan is really really easy. You just farm Felblights all day long and get really really rich. Don't know how long the prices will stay up, but atm it's around 10k gold an hour on my server. I have a profile for it in the farming section, although that one is public.
Just got quoted 260k for a WoD key. There must be a more sane way to get it. (I'd rather pay cash at that rate)
hey bro Just do what i do 1 account and lv 100 and take minning and skinning in taraan i made 88k in 2 days i sell then bye x30 for 12k
Thanks for the input guys! I am now going to run a 90 bot and 100 in tanaan, they are both still leveling at the moment. Yeah, gold sellers are selling gold for ~$0.57/k i think, so that would be the equivalent of ~$180. Insane lol. With my earnings gold I may purchase more WoD keys if it is really profitable, or I might just save for gear runs/stuff for my main, or I may equip all 11 100s on my main account with max level inscription/other crafting profession to invest money in early game herbs for cards! The possibilities are endless!
