The passion from Lv1-80

Introduction to 'The passion from Lv1-80'.

As we all know the leveling part can take very long time and may feel like forever to you, but it has to be done in order to start selling gold.
There are different ways to level your characters from 1 to 80, one of them is the usual way, with one character that may LONG time, the other way is to make more than 1 accounts, and level them with RaF, which gives you 3x experience and alot of other features.
​

Profiles & Meshes for HonorBuddy Lv1-80.

​

Videos of each Profile & Mesh.

​

The best classes to bot on.

There are many characters that people suggest for botting, but as I have experienced, characters with pets are the best classes to bot on, since they have a semi-tank(the pet), to taunt the target and make it easier.
Hunters and Warlocks should be the best classes to bot from level 1 to 55, and as you reach level 55 Deathknights would be the best.
Deathknights can tank and kill Rare-Elites or even multiply monsters, without risking to die.
​

Security Guidelines

Introduction to 'Security Guidelines'.

In order to keep your account safe from getting banned there are several things that are good to follow, they are all listed below.
Take in mind that botting is never safe, and never will be. Sometimes banwaves will happen, and accounts will be banned, this usual happens when Blizzard Warden gets updated, and the bot tripwire gets unstable.
Other ways to be banned is by being reported by other players, too much online time (ZoOoOoM and I are online 15-18hours/day, and yet not banned).
​

How to transfer gold between accounts.

When you transfer matrials and gold between characters of 1 account, there should be no risk in getting banned by using the mailbox. But when you want to transfer between multiply accounts, the smartest way is to use the Guild Vault. In this way it may look like you're a guild, and simply just posting stuff to your guild.
​

Anti-Ban, Online time etc..

Avoid getting banned at all times - This might sound hard, but just use your common sense.
It's never smart to bot in the same area for several hours, therefor download some profiles that switches areas, this will increase the security from player reports since you change the area so often, so they would not think you're a bot.

Think as a human - act like a human.
Don't bot for too long in a row, how many IRL people would be online for 4-5 days in a row? Not many, therefor minimize your online time as much as you can afford.

​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maximizing the Profit

Introduction to 'Maximizing the Profit'.

Ofcourse you would always want to get the most value from your gatherings. But sometimes it's not smart, if you post your prices too high it may take longer selling, and you may end up with having more matrials than you sell, and in last end you would overrend the Auction House with matrials, and make your account unsecure.
​

Professions to pick.

The professions for farming is very simple - Herbalism & Mining, these are the main professions for GatherBuddy that allowes you to fly around in northrend, outland or even azeroth/eastern kingdoms (when cataclysm gets out), and gather herbs & ores.
To maximize your profit through professions you would need an alt with other professions that can be used along with Herbalism & Mining.
​

Characters to make.

You should always have the main botter, which has 450 Mining & Herbalism, to supply with that you should make an alt character (Lv70 to 80) that has 450 Jewelcrafting & Inscription. This would allow you to Prospect the ores you gather into superior and epic gems, and Mill the herbs into matrials that can be used for likely 'Darkmoon Card: Greatness' this usual goes for around 4.5-6k on the Auction House.
​

How to sell ingame ores, herbs etc..

The smartest way to sell your matrials ingame is either to make them into gems and darkmoon cards as said above, this will make your account even more secure, since you don't overrend the Auction House with loads and loads of herbs and ores. You might lose some money on this, but in all, your Account over Profit.
Another way to sell ingame ores, herbs etc. is to get a private buyer, this can be very diffecult for some people, since it would require some kind of advertisement that you're selling loads of herbs and ores, from day to day.
The last way of the 3 best is to post on the Auction House, remember the good thumbrule, never overrend the Auction House. I'd say maximum post 10-15 stacks of each herb and ores in a row.
​

Finding private buyers.

This part is the hardest part of a botters life. As said above it would require some sort of advertisement, that might make you suspicious to some players and game masters, and they would presumably keep a good eye on you.
In all you could just post in the trade channel /2, that you want to sell ores and herbs for a lower price than the Auction House. People would usual whisper you after this, and you might be lucky to find people that wants more and more .. forever.
Another way could be to ask your friends or the friends of your friends, if they would be interested in a supplier of ores and herbs.

​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Professions

Introduction to 'The Professions'.

If you read above, you would already know which professions to pick, but again I can say that you should have a main botter with 450 Mining & Herbalism, and an alt of level 70-80, with 450 Inscription & Jewelcrafting.
The Professions the the most important part of the character, since without those you would make any profit .. At all!
​

Leveling guides 1-450.

These guides are being made.
​

Using the professions to make gold.

Again this topic is semilar to the text above, there are different ways to make profit with the professions, as usual you farm the ores and herbs and just sell them on the Auction House to gain profit.
But with the alt character of yours, you can Mill the herbs and Prospect the ores, and in that way become able to make darkmoon cards and epic/superior gems.
​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gearing the Bots

Introduction to 'Gearing the Bots'.

The gear on the bots is a very important thing, in several ways.
Firstly it would make your characters able to handle more monsters and last longer in a run, without drinking as much mana and eating health.
The other important thing about gearing your character, is that it would make your character look more like a human, let's say you gather full PvP set. What normal person would think 'Wow nice gear .. that guy is a botter?'
​

Gear to collect for your bot.

Since HonorBuddy have the ability to do battlegrounds, PvP gear are easiest to get without any work.
If you like manually work for setting up your bot, you could do heroics and collect emblems of triumph/frost, that can be used for Tier9.
Personally I prefer to collect PvP gear for my bots, this is the easiest without any work.
​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selling the Gold

Introduction to 'Selling the Gold'.

Selling your gold is very smart, in that way you would get your wow gametime and games paid off, and maybe make a little living in the real life.
Different sites are buying gold to resell, and you are their supplier.
​

Sites to sell gold to. (Credit to Kickazz006 for these sites!)

pusada.com pays $3-3.5 per 1000 Gold
mmogcart / igs.com / power4game / ige.com pays $3-3.6 per 1000 Gold
igxe.com pays $3 per 1000 Gold
gold4key.com pays $2.2-2.7 per 1000 Gold
mmofly.com pays $2-3 per 1000 Gold
mmopawn.com pays $2.9 per 1000 Gold
​

How to transfer the gold.

Most of the sites have tried buying gold before, and therefor they have their tactics to do this in the best way.
My personal way is to transfer through Guild Vault on a Vanilla account, in that way if anything should go wrong, you wouldn't lose your farming accounts.
Face-to-Face trade is also a good option, but may be unsecure if you do it in several spots (ratchet, etc.) therefor use a crowded place like orgrimmar, where people wont even see you're trading a Lv1 character, with a funny name.
