My Favorite Ways to Make Money
I play on Bloodhoof, a PvE server. If anyone is on that server and starts using these tips, it will probably cut into my income. Oh, well. I like to write in the interest of free information and hope people will comment to help me refine my ideas. On to the moneymaking schemes.
1) Goblin Jumper Cables XL
I got the recipe for free when a Gnomish Engineer guildie asked me to create a set for him. Since then I made some more and noticed that people will pay a lot at the AH for them. Guess they're either Gnomish or don't have the time to collect the mats. People even see my handiwork in the AH and whisper me to make some for them if they have mats. One guy had partial mats so I charged him for the remaining mats, too. I have an Excel spreadsheet showing the prices of each of the mats and components, and the upcharge I build into each one. The biggest profit is made from selling the complete cables at the AH. Right now I'm selling for 30g bid, 35g buyout, but I may raise prices further. The best part is that there is usually no competition. One other person recently put up a pair for 15g buyout, so I snatched it up right away. The most expensive components are the two Fused Wiring, which goes for about 4g each right now. For a while I made Target Dummies and killed them over and over again in IF, but I never found any. I figure that it's faster for me to just play normally and collect gold and buy the Fused Wiring rather than literally farm (plant and harvest) dummies. I also soloed Gnomeregan once for the humor value and also the chance of Fused Wiring, but came up with none.
2) Horizon Choker
There seems to be a wide variance on the price of these at AH. I'll buy them for 30g buyout and sell them for 60g buyout. So far I've done that to about 3 sets. One I pulled off the auction to sell to a friend at cost: 30g.
3) Mithril Mechanical Dragonling Schematic
Since I have to fly through Aerie Peak on my way from IF to EPL, I stop by the engineer vendor nestled in the mountains (just a few minutes from town) and pick up a recipe for less than 1g, often selling for 3g. 2 quick gold.
4) Random Questing in EPL and WPL
Mobs there have been dropping blue cards for Darkmoon Fair, and the cards go for 30-40g at the AH. I picked up both the Two of Portals and Three of Portals one night.
