champion farming will net you greater gold if you can do those. Im avg 100 gph and tons of items on my bot im avg little over 10mil per day per bot for about 12-18 hour rotations. that selling off crafting mats selling off gems and all the gear i find as well. Alot of the gear goes straight to RMAH sold 2 pair of gloves for 100 usd and bracers for 75 and boots for 15 this week. plus the gold ive been selling. Big ticket items i put on RMAH ok stuff i put on GAH just to get out of my inventory fast. to keep gold stock up to sell that. obviously if you sell a 100 usd item its better then selling 100 usd worth of gold because its only 1usd + 15%usd fees instead of 15% 15%.
Use these formulas to determine your success:
If you sell @ x, you will get y dollars transferring the money to your bank account [this assumes a 2.9% + .30c fee in the US from Paypal].
.7015475x-.30 = y
If you aren't getting fees (which I didn't for some reason), use this:
.7225x = y
If you then take y and plug the value in here:
1.1764171y / (Price/million of gold) then it will tell you in millions the gold price equivalent.
Example:
I sold $8 worth of tomes.
I got 5.78 [although this SHOULD have been 5.31 after fees but I wasn't charged for some reason].
At $1.90/million gold I would have had to sell those tomes for 3,578,784 gold to break even.
Yeah, nobody is going to pay 3,578,784 for 32 tomes. That's 111,837g each. They were going for almost 600g last night.
So obviously I made out like a bandit on this selling them on the RMAH because at $1.90 / million gold it means the tomes are actually worth .0009c.
I got 277x the value on the RMAH than I did on the GAH for these tomes given the price of gold when I sold them.
All you have to do is figure out which number gives you more value - RMAH or GAH.
Go profit.
