I decided to do a little grinding now that I’m level 70 and, not knowing where to go, I referenced the Cash Creating Guide. I picked one location from the Burning Crusade part, flew there (it’s only accessible with flying mount), set my timer for one hour and started grinding.

Here’s what I ended up with:

Gray items worth 16 g

1 green item supposedly worth 30 g

53 white items (those are the primary ones you are farming for here) worth 53 * 3 = 159 gold.

Total earnings: 205 g

(more…)

Guess what?

I’m back in business with a new, working graphics card. First thing I did was of course to login to WoW to see how everything was going. I was just browsing the auction house when I see, that’s right, another Libram of Resilience for the reasonable price of 4 g 92 s and an expiration time of less than 30 minutes.

To put it short, I’m now the owner of a new Libram of Resilience worth about 70 g on my server. I’ll try to sell it during the weekend, for a profit of at least 60 g. I’m using bonus guide #2 that comes with The World of Warcraft Cash Creating Guide to find these deals. I don’t think Luke is exaggerating when he says it has made him more than 1000 g.

Personally I don’t bother with deals that don’t make me at least several easy gold. I’m just too lazy and it’s too much work when there are regular opportunities to make 10-20-30 even 100 g on one item. I hope you join me, cuz it’s great fun to make gold this way, and the stories you can tell…

While browsing the auction house around noon today, with the intention of finding cheap items to resell expensively, I suddenly laid eyes on a Libram of Resilience, worth about 70+ g depending on your server, with a buyout price of only 2 g! The seller must have had no clue about its value. So I picked it up quickly before anyone else saw it, intent on reselling it for a huge profit.

Since they are unique you can only have one in your inventory at a time (also counting the bank, but not the mailbox or the AH), so I wanted to sell it fast.

Instead of putting it in the AH, I first tried selling it in the trade channel. After rejecting some ridiculous offers, one guy seemed seriously interested. After some haggling we settled on 65 g. Maybe I could have gotten 70 or even 80 at the AH. But who cares? I made 63 g with almost no effort.

This wasn’t the only time I’ve had the opportunity to do so, either. (more…)

I decided to be a little more scientific and actually measure how much gold I could make in an hour in the grinding area I referred to in the post entitled Level 60 gold grinding.

I made a note of the number of potions, amount of gold, and runecloth I had, before I set my timer for one hour and started grinding away. Here are the results:

Coin: 5.93 g 
61 runecloth: 6.1 g 
1 Major Healing Potion: 0.80 g 
2 Major Mana Potions: 4.5 g 
25 items: 26.30 g (after AH fees) 
18 other items: 14.4 g (after AH fees, at my regular price) 
One reagent: 0.2 g 
One green item: 0.65 g (sold to vendor) 

Total: 58.88 g.

Even accounting for some relisting that I might have to do, I’m easily making over 50 g per hour. Again, the area is described on pages 11 and 12 of The World Of Warcraft Cash Creating Guide. Read the full review here.

Wow!

I have a new preferred gold grinding area. This one owns. Here’s why:

First and foremost, these mobs drop valuable items frequently. I farmed this place for about four hours today and I earned at least 150 gold. But here’s the kicker: I sold the loot too cheap! Several times my stacks were bought out within minutes of me placing them at the AH, even as I increased the price every time. They’re obviously popular and easy to sell.

Secondly, it’s near a town and a grave yard. This is good if you get ganked (if you’re on a PvP server obviously), or anytime you need to fly to a major city to sell your loot.

Thirdly, the mobs are easy to kill (for a level 60 character). There are different locations where you can choose which mobs you want to fight; casters, ranged attackers, or meleers.

Personally, I prefer the casters and meleers. I also got several major mana potions that I sell for 2.25-2.75 g a piece, some vendor trash, lots of coin (probably 12-15 g just in coin), a lot of runecloth (10 stacks or so), and some major healing potions.
