Warcraft Money and Auction House 2

Welcome on Warcraft Money! Today second part of my Auction House Guide!

Ok where you can find Auction Houses…
- Booty Bay
- Everlook
- Gadgetzan

First of all you should use, simple the 80/20 rule. Have you ever heard of the 80/20 rule? It’s the Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the principle of factor sparsity and the law of the vital few) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.(wikipedia)
This rule can be is also useful in World of Warcraft. After you optimize you effort you can earn 80% of your gold from 20% of your effort.

You should use alt (alternative character, created ONLY for Auction House business- you can transfer all items to “alt” and use this character as you Auction House “attaché”). Remember to log out near AH.

You should lower bid and buyouts, but only for items hard to sell. You’ve got less Warcraft money, but doing that you earn precious time!

You can try to use trade channel. You should have some items at your bank and when someone demand item, then you just sell it. Well, trying to sell at trade channel is less effective, but who knows…

You can sell large part of your items, to vendors. Items which had little value at the auction house above the vendor sell price, I started selling to vendors. Green items, cheap recipes - all items to max 1,5 - 2 gold.

With these tips, you should earn a lot of time. From my experience I know that these stuff is basic if you want to be “pro” doing business on Auction House.

If you don’t have “Auctioneer” addon get this addon fast! It’s most effective tool to earn a lot Warcraft money!

to be continued…

Warcraft Money and Auction House 1

Welcome friends on Warcraft Money - Blog! Today my I’m starting small Auction House guide, to help with probably most important place in WoW economy. The AH in World of Warcraft can be a very lucrative place to make money. What I’ve seen is that several people really optimize their Auction House strategy on mastery level. You can earn really a lot of money, if you “know how” to use AH.

1. First of all you should set most auctions to run 48 h to maximize your auction’s exposure. If you doing such thing, you need to remember, that maybe you are paying more money for 48 h auction, but deposit will always be refunded if the auction sells. Most important thing is your time!

2. Pricing an item can be difficult for those new to the Auction House. Try to check out average price of item you can sell- most of player are selling too cheaply. Underpricing may not be the most common mistake, but it’s a devastating one nonetheless. Your price should be reasonable - not to high, but also not to low. You can know more if you visit website like wow.allakhazam.com etc. other way is to install “Auctioneer” addon. If you can’t do it, or you’ve got some other problems, just find out what something is worth is by searching for an identical item already posted. It’s easy way to earn more money ;-) Last way to find out one is to go to a vendor and see how much they will give you for the item (don’t sell it to them!). Well, normally you can get several times the amount the vendor will give you in the Auction House. Now if go back to AH and add your item for 4-8 x more money.

3. If you’ve got somekinda problem with sell of expensive item, try to use the trade channel rather than using the auction house at all. Sometimes is really good move to easily find a buyer.

4.  Player activity usually peaks between 6pm and 9pm and is higher on weekends. You should take this for your consideration. If you want to optimize your efforts and profits, you should sell items on weekends and set them on 12-24 h :-)

Money guide for World of Warcraft

Welcome on my Warcraft Money - Blog. Today I’m writing again about money in World of Warcraft. Well, first of all, if you’ve got problem to buy a mount on level 40 or problem with cash or whatever, you should stick to simple rules:

Well first off all you should play solo. Of course you can play in a group, but the reality is that most money making activities are done alone in World of Warcraft. Think twice, if you are playing with 5 people you are receving 5 times less money, and you need to kill 5 x more monsters then in solo. Of course in party you are killing monster faster, but party is never so fast to kill 5 x more monster in the same time as you solo. Also if you are playing solo, you get every drop and all money. In a group, you need to roll for every loot….party is fun, but playing solo, also has many advantages.

Another important thing is to learn how to use the Auction House (AH).

Sell all your stuff on Auction House, cloths are an especially valuable thing to sell that tends to drop in large quantities when you hunt. When in doubt, put it up for sale and see what happens. Many of very valuable items on Auction House are not green, purple or blue but white.

Another thing is to make sure you always put a buyout for an item you put for sale. Statistically, 8/10 players interested in item want to buy it now, if you won’t add any buyout option, they are not interested. Well, in other hand you should be careful when you are picking price for blue and purple items. I suggest to pick enormous price for these ones. If nobody buys it, you can always list it again. No problem.

Wrath of the Lich King record and system requirements

Welcome on Warcraft Money Blog! According to Blizzard, World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King has been sold in over 2.8 million copies in its first 24 hours of availability. Well I’m shocked, but it must be true. This makes single fastest selling computer game in history. Mr. Mike Morhaime expressed thanks: “We’re grateful for the incredible support that players around the world have continued to show for World of Warcraft,” he said. “Wrath of the Lich King contains some of the best content we’ve created for the game so far, and we look forward to seeing even more players log in to experience it in the days ahead.”

Mr Morhaime, didn’t express surprise, mostly because previous expansion, The Burning Crusade, has been sold 2,4 million copies in its opening day…

Well, World of Warcraft has 11 or 12 millions of players so I’m almost sure that another record will be beaten in the near future..

U.S. Spies Want to find Terrorists in World of Warcraft

Welcome on Warcraft Money - Blog! According to blog.wired.com, U.S. intelligence community is actually working to develop advanced software that will detect very violent extremists infiltrating our precious World of Warcraft. They are also planning to check other massive multiplayer games, according to a data-mining report from the Director of National Intelligence.

This project is called Reynard and will begin by profiling online gaming behavior, then potentially move on to its ultimate goal of “automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world.”
Later they wrote that “Reynard will conduct unclassified research in a public virtual world environment. The research will use publicly available data and will begin with observational studies to establish baseline normative behaviors.
Well i don’t want to comment this actions, but i must ask question - they are really so bored to do such things? I read some commentaries about that matter and most of people are laughing from this project and other part people is writing very angry. Here you are guys some comments about this project M wrote - You have got to be kidding me? our government is wasting money on this crap? REALLY?, King of the Juice - i wish it was the first of april, Gipper - this is stupid, Lu-Tan - this is SICK cant they think of anything else to do?! stop wasting govt funds! Most of commentaries are like that ones. Is this serious action or joke? Really.

What is best way to obtain Warcraft money?

Welcome on Warcraft Money - Blog. First of all you should gather every item on your way, but don’t sell items to vendor - try to sell all you can at Auction House. AH is place where you can obtain most of gold so try to visit it often. You can also create another character, travel this character to Auction House and log out. Now if you need you can just send all items to your other character and sell all stuff by this one.

Secondly download addons called “Auctioneer”, “QuestHelper”, “Cartographer”, “Atlasloot Enchanted”, “X-Perl UnitFrames”, they should help you in game with everything. You can find them all here.

Remember to take all quests from new area. Quest are crossing each other so killing one type of monster is very often connected to 2-3 quests in the same time.

When you finish lvl 10 quests in your starting area, you should travel to another starting area and take all quests there.

Really don’t waste your time doing travel quests. Pointless.

Pick good profession! Leveling up your profession is long and sometimes cost tons of money but later you can be really rich selling crafted items on Auction House. If you’ve got some patience take profession and level your skill up.

Selling low level stuff like Wool Cloth or Feathers can be really profitable. Remember about Auctioneer addon with this tool you are able know how much every item costs on Auction House.

Bradster, probably biggest Warcraft fan in the world

You probably know story of a player named Bradster who has 36 accounts in World of Warcraft and he play on 11 computers simultaneously? If you don’t know this story, this guy is probably top World of Warcraft geek that ever lived. Seriously. How crazy you have to be to drop $5711 per year like Bradster, only for subscription. Bradster is also plaining to get 36 copies of Wrath of the Lich King, spending around 1500 $…If you don’t believe me, here is photo as proof

And few words from Bradster:
A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I’m sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. We’ll see how it goes. If they don’t make level 70 before Wrath of the Lich King, then it will be at level 80. That is my main goal.

Well i don’t like Alliance just like him but maybe my level of geekness (from sickness ;)) it’s little bit smaller then his. I’m wondering, how he live actually, does he have girlfriend, dog or pet, family? Is he playing football or going out for parties? Sometimes playing with my one character in World of Warcraft toked me a really lot of time, so I’m thinking how he is playing 36 character and live?!!?? Really Brad, you should live again and let go, it’s sick. Do it for your own good. If it’s difficult for you just visit psychologist.

As you remember, on final movie in Warcraft III Frozen Throne, Arthas became new Lich King, so he will be also main mob in this new expansion. He reside in his Icecrown Citadel and waiting for adventurers stupid (or strong) enough to stand against his wrath.

One new playable class: Death Knight

Profession level cap raised to 450

First completely PvP zone

and…Battle with the Lich King at the Frozen Throne

Snowly

Welcome on Warcraft Money - Blog. According to one Chinese website, a very young girl nicknamed “Snowly” has been found dead after playing in World of Warcraft. She was so addicted to WoW that she played non stop for several days. Her friends said that she was diligent member of World of Warcraft community and was very often online. One week after her death, was organized very big online funeral for Snowly. Event was very sadly interrupted by death of another player nicknamed “Nan Ren Gu Shi”.
After these very sad events few online game communities have posted announcements to have longer break in game.

These two deaths are warning, i remember when my friend play non stop for 36 hours and he just fall sleep on keyboard. It’s maybe funny now but when you have problems with your health and you don’t event know about that you can really pay very high price for your ignorance.
I’m playing around 2-3 h in one session, more online playing is in my case is just to much, i feel miserable, my head is in pain and I’m tired without reason (maybe I’ve got depression or something).

Remember about eating and sleeping, online games are sometimes very dangerous for your health and live.
