Well as planned i started botting wow just few hours back so i got couple of questions more to ask:

1.How do you run multiple wow instances ? Is it like in d3 with copying wow folder multiple times, with the -launch parameter on the desktop shortcut or i need smth more ? Also, can i run multiple hb instances from the same folder just like i did for demonbuddy ? What is difference between using honorbuddy as opposed to Honorbuddy.Launcher ?

2. After i ding lvl 90 (which i heard was after about a week or so - correct me if i am wrong pls- ) what is the best way to make gold ? I heard gathering and herbing was the way to go, so i guess i need gatherbuddy. Does this mean the only area i can herb/gather is pandaria ? And what are those numbers next to the areas as in, Pandaria 525-600.

3. Should i use the ah or not ? I heard posting on the ah large ammounts of, whatever it is am going to post can draw attention, so what is the benefit of the ah in terms of % gold acquired of the overal gold farmed as opposed to the risks of using it ?

4. And finally selling my gold, do you prefer selling it on OwnedCore or should i look elsewhere for better price, and does it matter what realm i bot or only i need to watch out which side i choose (horde-allaiance ratio) ?


I never played wow before, nor i plan to, but i sure as shit gonna bot it

Can't say much on the profit making portion.

But I'd say WELCOME!!

There's been so few botters or gatherers nowadays in the market that prices are getting inflated. I would see the return of the farmer's age, and I welcome you to do that.

Im using the same WoW installation for all my 3 sessions. Just start WoW 3 times... Make sure you start WoW in 32 bit, HB wont work on 64 bit.

2. After i ding lvl 90 (which i heard was after about a week or so - correct me if i am wrong pls- ) what is the best way to make gold ?

It could take longer to ding 90. It all depends on how you will level. YOu can either grind, quest or do dungeons. Each has his own advantages. But as with everything, its not recommended to bot 24/7. So depending on how you level and the class you use it might take longer than a week. Gathering is just one of the things you can do to make gold. Although running gatherbuddy2 (its build in in HB) for long periods of time isnt recommended. Also, to make the most profit out of your gathered materials its good to have some other chars to craft stuff with them (the so called shuffling or shuffle) For example, have a miner collect ore, and send the ore to a JC to make gems out of the ore. The numbers next to the area's are the skill levels required for the professions in that area. 525-600 means you need to have atleast skill level 525 to do anything in that area.

3. Should i use the ah or not ? I heard posting on the ah large ammounts of, whatever it is am going to post can draw attention, so what is the benefit of the ah in terms of % gold acquired of the overal gold farmed as opposed to the risks of using it ?

Using the AH is ok, just dont post 200 auctions every day with the same character. Make multiple toons, use those toons to post stuff on the AH in smaller amounts. An other way is to try and find a private buyer for your collected or crafted items. If you farm ore, try to find someone that will buy the ore you farm directly from you. That way you dont need the AH to earn money on it. All in all, if you use the AH carefully, its not a problem.

4. And finally selling my gold, do you prefer selling it on OwnedCore or should i look elsewhere for better price, and does it matter what realm i bot or only i need to watch out which side i choose (horde-allaiance ratio) ?

On this i have no idea... Someone else know?

Instead of answering your questions, I'm going to ask you some of my own:

1) Why don't you actually learn how to play the game? It has a great story to tell and can be extremely fun for end-game content.

2) Why do you think this is some type of get rich quick scheme? Most of us that bot do it to supplement our play by taking care of chores that we don't have the time to do. You aren't going to pay your rent with one bot and no idea what you're doing.

3) Have you tried using a search engine? Perhaps you've heard of Google. Most of your questions are related to game basics. There are millions of websites devoted to this.

Best of luck to you!
