Over the last few days I got enough cash off mining herb to buy an epic flyer and have 10-11k on the side that I wanna sell to gold sites. I wanna get at least 50k. I'm worried about getting banned since I throw up masses of saronite and herbs, but since its a huge server will anyone notice? Should I invest maybe 5-6k on an inscriptor and jcer? If so, what should I make? Should I just prospect and mill, or should I actually make things?
Never ever throw up large amounts of Herbs/Minings. If you do, use Bank alts and spread it out between atleast 2 - 3 bank alts depending on how much your putting. And using Inscription / JC allows you to bring in more gold because you use mats to create stuff that sell for more. My farmer uses: Mining Herbing My main has: Eng Jewelcrafting This brings me in roughly 40k a week (I don't bot every day or farm every day, just when I feel like it)
I use two alts to sell everything. How do you make money with eng? Or do you just auction herbs and prospect ores?
I think Glyphs do fairly well on their own. Most glyphs cost you very little to craft. Maybe 2g each maximum for the 2 ink glyphs, then you can sell it for say 5g, thats over 100% proffit, just with the cheap selling glyphs. Many glyphs on my server go for 15-35g, so prety sure the gold is good from glyphs alone. And you can sell maybe 100 a day easy if you price them right. Cards i've never tried, too much risk for reward. One way i think is to grab herbalism and GB, use any herbs you dont sell with inscription/alchemy and sell flasks/glyphs.
There's this one clown on my server that is surely going to bring a load of heat on himself. I'll be putting my 15-20 stacks of whatever up, undercutting by 50s. To have this idiot put over 50 stacks up, undercutting by 50%!! I hope it ain't you? Lol. We have war with the rare pets too. Only he goes crazy and slashes the price in half as usual.
haha no i undercut by 5%, using auctioneer. so throwing up maybe 3k worth of different stuff, say 80 of each herb and maybe 400 saronite is safe?
The guys with more experiance would know for sure. I try to not have more than 200 auctions rolling on any one account. You have to be wise IMO though. Selling 1000's of herbs from a bank toon with no herber on that account is a bit unbelievable if you were to get looked at. I'm leveling more alts to filter it out as much as poss. As I don't want too many links to my main account. That sucker is in full T10! (264) hehe.
bump. I dont wanna spend you know 2 hours a day making glyphs that people want to make 10% more profit, what else can I do?
Dude, there is a 100 different ways to go about it. Look it up on the thread, there is a guide being made on how to do such stuff. It has information that can help you out alittle bit to. http://www.buddyforum.de/showthread.php?1537-The-Ultimate-Gold-Farmers-Security-Value-Guide&p=13256 Read the information provided, and you should get some insight on how everyone here does it. Keep in mind, it is always up to HOW IT WORKS BEST FOR YOU. Every one here has their way of doing things, so do not copy some one thinking it will help you out when it might now. Such as, you server may be full of Inscriptions and alch. people so pots and glyphs might not be a hot seller so you would want to switch it up and maybe do Blacksmithing / Jewelcrafting, etc, etc. What ever it takes to fit your servers need for items, if what you need to fill. This takes time to learn and is not a thing you learn all in one night, it has taken me a few years in doing business with company's to learn what I know. And even now I am not 100%, every day I learn something, wither it be how to protect my accounts better (Man let me tell you how much of a pain in the ass this is), new paths that increase profit, etc, etc. Some stuff you need to learn on your own and not be spoon fed worthless information. The only way you will learn is by doing. Not trying to be a dick, just saying. If your trying to just make gold, then learn what your server needs most. If your trying to sell gold, welcome to the business.
mmmm what u mean simple glyphs suck shit. waste time and get bugger all plus your competing against people who bulk cancel auctions and bulk relist to undercut your glyphs maybe twice a day even... I tried it and gave up, it is waaaay to time consuming, to mill it *well gb made this easier*, make the inks, make every single glyph, list it all, then run 'check for undercuts' bulk cancel your auctions then bulk relist, tooo much time pro. Since herbs and eternal life are free if im having trouble selling raw herbs etc I'll make darkmoon cards, why not its free lol. if your on a pvp server then maybe alchemy would be best instead of inscribe. make pots and flask for those raiders... my servers wack they like everything but they like it cheap as in 50silver more then if you were to vendor it. check out your market see what would sell best then go with that, its not rocket science but again glyphs suck... maybe armor vellums, scrolls are much better i make those as well as a filler lol
darkmoon cards are a nightmare to make imho.. Gather herbs > Mill herbs > turn pigments into ink > create cards You will have ALOT of herbs.. and it takes a LONG time.. even using the crafting function
I mill around 2K herbs each day. and it takes around 1 hour or so. but at the same time. i get anything from 2-4 decks a day. which really sells good at my server since the Darkmoon faire is up atm.
