      I have to say that Botting has made wow fun again. I started using honor buddy in January on two accounts (Never my main account). I've never really been into the AH or trying to make money in this game but since there isn't much left to do on my main two characters that i play I started focusing on trade skills and making money. Prior to honor buddy I was purchasing gold about every six months to keep up with my raiding needs.

      My achievements:
      -4 lvl 85's - 2 druids 2 DK's Since January(The DK is by far my favorite to bot on, blood spec and they never die)
      -Hit the gold cap last week, sitting on a little over a million gold (prior to this i never had more than 20k gold) (I don't sell gold just doing it for fun)
      -Vial of The Sands recipe

      Some Tips:
      I got banned the first week i used honor buddy. I was gathering (Herbs & Minerals) for about 4-5 hours a day once I hit lvl 85 and was banned about 5 days into it. After I got my account back I only farm stuff moderately; 1 hour max per day per toon (so 4 hours a day on 2 accounts).

      My routine: (2 Accounts)
      Farm herbs on each druid 1 hour a day each
      Farm Minerals on the DK 1 hour a day each
      Farm Cloth 5 hours a week (All types of cloth)
      25 Dailies each day on both DK's. (Feral Druids suck at dailies especially Tol Barad)

      Note: I never farm in Uldumn at all. If i need whiptail I will farm it manually for an hour or two. On my server people spam in Uldum to report bots since there are so many people farming.

      Tips:
      I tried selling raw materials but found you make more money by shifting to Tradeskills. If you do sell raw materials don't undercut people....raw materials always sell no matter what so there is no need to drive the price down. My farming basically gives me enough raw materials a day to spend about 30-40 minutes doing trade skills.

      I generally rotate though the following: (I never flood one marker or generally sell the same thing more than a day or two at a time)

      Prospect and cut gems 1-3 times a week. (I find that selling them on the weekdays makes more per gem on my server. I never post gems on the weekends)
      Mill Herbs into Glyphs and Fortune cookies (Glyph market is hit or miss on my server..if prices fall below 50g per glyph i stop for a week. I made 280,000 on glyphs in 8 weeks)
      Transmute Life to Air (Almost all of my character i changed to alchemy so I transmute on 8 Toons a day)
      Create Flasks 1-3 times a week (Generally do this at the end of the week since more people raid on the weekend)
      Create Spell threads (2 characters are tailors so i make 10 per week of each type)
      Create gear from tailoring/blacksmiths for DE 1-2 days a week.
      Create 1 Vial of The Sands Per week


      Generally, I make about 8-10k per day depending on how often I list auctions. I use Tradeskill master for everything which minimizes the effort of crafting and selling.

      My breakdown generally goes something like this:
      50 Dailies = 800G/Day
      volatile Air (Depending on Proc) = 1400-1800G/day
      Glyphs = 1000-3000G/day (Depending on market and how often i re-list them)

      Rotated Items:
      Gems = 8000-10000G/Week
      Enchanting Mats = 3000-5000G/week (Depending on what i craft to DE. I farm all levels of cloth so i make a variety of enchanting mats)
      377 PVP Gear = 2000-3000G/Week
      Flasks = 4000-6000G/Week
      Vial of The sands = 8000G/week profit
      Spell Threads = 4000G/Week
      Fortune Cookies = 1000-2000/Week

      Very nice, i stopped playing WoW 3 years ago... Recently (2 weeks or so) started playing WoW again...

      Got a level 66 (thanks to purchasing $10 worth of power levelling then realising this bot exists).

      I've got 10.5k gold atm, i bought 10k gold but before the bot (which i bought yesterday :D) and before i purchased the 10k gold i was averaging 500g at any one time..

      I play horde. I use Kick's mega pack. I do the Tol Barad dailies, Therazaine and firelands. I have to watch the firelands ones though sometimes the bot gets stuck in combat. All together there is more than 25 quests also so i have to stop the bot otherwise he will stand in front of the quest giver and try to turn in more than 25. Takes about 1 1/2 hour on each toon to do all the dailies. If i'm short on time i only do Tol Barad.... Kick did a good job on those and rarely do i have to interact with my character. There is a ghost that sometimes spawns inside of rocks at Largo's Overlook which my bot will target and just stand there and get killed over and over. Its happened a few times.

      Its really hard to give advice since each server's economy is so different. I shift from week now simply because the expansion is coming to an end and the prices on my server are falling for everything. Items such as Gems and Flasks have taken a massive dump on my server. I think that people are bored with raiding and not upgrading gear as much. This week I shifted to creating heavenly shards. For some reason the price jumped up to 150/shard in the last week. The other items that are hot on my server are Embersilk bags and cloth. I AOE farm cloth now with one of my bots...i'm getting between 30-50 stacks of cloth an hour. All week cloth has been around 150 a stack. Just in cloth i'm making between 4000-6000 for just a couple hours of farming a night.


      Here is a great tool which many people use. Its a spreadsheet that will calculate whats profitable. After i have a small stash of mats i generally update this spreadsheet and do the shuffle based on prices. I highly recommend learning how to use it. (Mostly used if you plan to buy items and shuffle materials but still good to watch sell prices)
