Introducing Jeri My Paladin

Introducing my paladin Jeri. He was my first level 60 and never made it to 70 until yesterday. The reason he never made it to seventy was a faction switch to play with family. That and I did not enjoy healing in BC and couldn't get into leveling him. Now he is ready for his transformation into a Blood Elf Paladin and unleash his inner horde. After a fast trek from 64 to 70 Jeri is ready to embark on a new journey to 80. He will be accompanied by his warrior companion that was with him on the original quest to 60. Jeri will also bring along needed war supplies to aid in raising gold for the hordes coffers. He collected gems, enchant scrolls, and tons of wool that will aid in raising a decent amount of gold for the cause.

To prepare for the arrival of my new tanking character I crafted the full level 70 cobalt tanking set. I also added borean leather armour kits to aid in making the gear as good as it could be for the cheap. Me and my cousin plan to do at least the daily dungeon and quest grind up to 80 he is playing a BoA geared Arms warrior. Teamed with my paladin the plan is to aoe grind quest and if needed ill Duo spec for questing parts as Retribution to speed up the quest grind. Hopefully we will have a fun and story filled journey to 80.

Horde here i come.

So after having a few weeks as alliance i got a gift from my cousin. He decided to go ahead and pay for my alliance paladins race change and transfer. Im not sure why he decided to but im happy either way. I think his main reason was he couldn't deal with playing on our old alliance server and would rather level with me on horde.

Since the move has moved forward a few months i only have around 700g to invest into items to transfer. I am thinking of going and purchasing at least 5 each of the alliance only pets. Then look at the frost lotus market to see if their prices are significantly lower than my current main server. Other items of interest are mid level herbs, meat for cooking, ore, bars, and gems. My goal is to only purchase items that will provide a significant profit around 2-5g on investment more is always welcome.

I am looking forward to the move it will give me an oppourtunity to get dual spec on my pally. Ill also be able to deck him out in full cobalt armour once he hits 70 so that his tanking set is ok. I also get to level with my cousin which i haven't done in since pre-bc where he tanked and i heald. Which is a funny point because the pally im moving to my horde server is the same pally that i heald his original warrior with. Leveling will be different this time ill be tanking and he will be Dps on his arms warrior which means it wont be a full role reversal for us.

Since my focus for the next few weeks is going to be on leveling i think im going to use it as a way add a different dynamic to my blog. The blog will always stay a gold focused blog but i want to include some stuff about leveling my paladin. So once he hits 70 and begins the final 10 level grind to 80 i hope i can come up with fun entertaining post about the leveling experience. Yes this will include gripes about stupid players in LFG. It will also have post about great runs or epic fights that should have been wipes. I may even post a small post about usefull addons to have for 5 mans. After reaching level 80 these post will start to be about gearing up through heroics etc. I hope that my readers will enjoy these post and i hope that it will add a new dynamic to my blog.

Blacksmithing: Wands Made of Gold

With my recent post on BS i got alot of good feed back which i appreciate greatly. Some suggestions were that i should look into crafting wands for to sell on the AH. At first i rejected this idea mainly because of laziness. Well i got off my lazy butt over the weekend and decided that if i had the profession to take advantage of a market i should. After looking at my BS to find which wands i would want to produce i decided that there were only 4 worth crafting. The 4 i decided on were arcanite rods, fel iron rods, true silver rods, and titanium rods these were the least common rods on the AH with little to no competition. The next step i performed was calculating cost of mats and expected selling price of each rod.

( List of all rods and their mats)

True Silver Rod - (1 truesilver Bar, 1 Heavy Grinding Stone) - (6.1g* materials raw have to smelt) - (sells for 17g)- (10.9g profit)

Arcanite Rod- (3 Arcanite Bars, 1dense grinding stone) - (12g, 1s,* Arcanite transmuted only cost effective way) - ( sells for 70g, ) - ( 58g profit)

Fel Iron Rod- (6 Fel Iron Bars) - (24g) - (sells for 60g )- (36g profit)

Titanium Rod- (2 Saronite Bars, 1 Titanium Bar) - (23g) - (sells for 60g )-(37g profit)

The list above states all the mats needed to craft a rod and its estimated selling point and estimated profit. I suggest that anyone wishing to craft rods buy the mats in bulk. Generally most stacks of 20 will be cheaper than individual bars and gems. For the arcanite rods find a alchemist that can transmute arcanite generally the mats to transmute arcanite bars are cheaper than buying the bars. I plan to craft 10 rods to sell of each type if the mats cost are to high i may not craft that particular rod. Currently the most profitable rod is the arcanite although titanium and fel iron rods can have pretty good profit margins.

So you dont have that proffession

Recently my post have been about using professions to make gold. I haven't had anyone say it but I'm sure some people reading these post and don't have that particular profession so it may not interest them. Well i have a solution for these people to use the professions they don't have and still make good profit. The solution pay other players to do it for you. I'm not suggesting paying a player to 30g per gem to cut raw epic gems that will only gain you 10g profit now i mean the bulk crafting items.

Example time say your not a BS but you can buy the mats to make 20 eternal belt buckles for 400g. IF your lucky and they sell for 40g each that's 800g or 400g profit. Now if you don't have BS you cant take advantage of this unless you hire someone or get a fellow guildy to help you. Generally players that do this kind of work don't ask for much 20-40g average. They see this as free gold for them and you gain the product you want to sell. Its a win for everyone involved your making 360g profit they get their 40g and are happy about it.

What this means is now you have access to every proffession if you want. 40g tip may sound like allot but if your getting your product made in bulk there is nothing bad about that tip. This will allow you access to all of the methods i have posted about and give you means to make even more gold. I hope you found this use full if you have any other things you pay other players to do tell me about them in comments. I check them daily and generally reply to them.

An alchemist gold mine

Alchemy is my steady income i can count on at least 200g from epic gems a day. I currently don't make pots unless i find good deals on frost lotus which never happens. Recently i discovered a new gold mine for an alchemist. Earth seige Diamond transmute it take 1 eternal fire 1 dark jade and 1 huge citrine. To make 20 on my server runs around 560g 200 for 20 darkjade 340 for the eternal fire and around 20g for huge citrine. I'm transmute spec so there is a chance ill make more per batch than the mats i have. You can sell these raw or as cuts which is what I'm doing. i get them cut into Austere Earthsiege Diamonds 32 stam. 2% armour increase meta gem. These sell for around 60 each so for an investment of 542g i make around 1200g or a total profit of 668g.

Check it out you could make a good bit of gold to top the mounds of gold sitting in your bank.

What I'm working on.

Well recently i re-activated my account with my BS on it. When it had closed it had 382 BS i spent a few grand around 2.5k gold to level him to max level. I d/e almost all of the crafted material and left the mats sitting in the bank somewhere around 60 dream shards hundreds of infinite dust and some cosmic essence. I then told my cousin who cuts my epic gems that if he wanted he could use those mats to max his enchanting. He used them creating scrolls so now i have around 25 scrolls or more of various enchants. They sell from 9g- 150g each so i should make a decent return on helping him. Also i still have some leftover enchanting mats from his leveling these could be sold for more profit. With my last post i stated how im making around 400g profit from a 400g investment using my newly leveld BS.

Im still slacking off on leveling my DK to max his inscription. The main reason being im not sure i can make the time commitment to be a competitve scribe. Also for some reason i loath playing the DK even though i used to love their mechanics. Ive been using my alchemist to transmute epic gems which is a nice bit of gold on the side. I also discovered a new market for alchemist which ill post more about in a few days. The netherweave bag market is still available to use however for the return on time and investment is small. I prefer only to use this method to make money when i have plenty of play time.

I also recently started messing around on my very first toons server playing my old lvl 64 pally which was my first level 60 back in pre-bc. I have been using bid low and sell normal to begin making gold so that i can afford shiney things for my pally which is my new toon of choice for fun. I have been doing dungeons as a pally tank which i love its alot less painful and more fun than warrior tanking. On this server i also have a 350 tailor so i may look into using the bag market to make gold here. I can also use my tailor toon to D/E BOE greens from dungeons since mats generally make more money then the greens.

Some people may be asking why im wasting my time playing a toon thats not on my main server. Well my goal is to transfer and faction changethis toon over to my current server. He is in a guild of my toons with 3 tabs hopefully i can transfer the guild with him. If not ill use his bank space to horde objects that sell higher on my main server. objects of interest wool cloth, vendor alliance only pets, cheaper materials eternals, ore, bars , enchanting mats. I plan to gather these items in hopes that flipping them will make me more gold. I dont plan to transfer soon probably sometime a few months down the road when my pally dings 80.

Please give me advice on what items i should look at for when i transfer. I hope to keep you updtated on my alliance and horde activity and maybe it will benifit some of my readers.

Hey this is for all the blacksmith Gold makers

Eternal belt buckles Add a socket to a players belt. These can be made by BS that have reached i belive 425 BS. The mats to make 20 eternal belt buckes runs about 482g. thats for the 80 saronite bars and 20 each of eternal water, eternal earth, eternal shadow. Also http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44938 titanium plating can be learned from horde expidition exalted rep. it cost 4 titanium bars about 85g and 4 eternal shadow that cost 75-125g depending on supply. If you take the high end thats about 215g they can sell probably 250g- 450g depending on supply. These are too great sellers and the most efficent way to do it is by crafting 20 at a time over the weekend. I did not get my mats at weekend prices but if i had maybe a 10-15% drop in mat cost depending on server. I posted them yesterday before the maitenance probably around 8. I posted 20 at 47g each for a total value of 940g before AH fees. this meant that my 482g investment returned 468g profit for the investment. These sold like hot cakes and at an ideal cost.

I plan to make batches of 20 belt buckles every time they run out because i cant do the titanium plating because of rep. Selling them should always make a profit for minimal effort Even at server low price of 35g each would return at least 200g profit or more depending on mat. cost. This should be something every BS looks into its a good method to make gold and not very time consuming.
