Hi guys. I'm new to botting and for a long time now I've really wanted to get tons of gold. I've heard Honorbuddy was a great way to make gold, but I would love some tips on what profiles I should run to get a lot of gold; Whether its farming ore, herbs, ench loots etc.
Keep note I am only running 1 bot.
Thanks!
if you haven't found the old threads, i'll keep it simple.
1/ Shuffle profiles make the most money in game. generally.
but it's a long, long process. and it's a ton of work to process items into new items, and the economy has to really support a shuffle profile,
i.e. you need lots of buyers for the end items in a shuffle, or it will not make you money.
the upside is, you can maintain a huge inventory of items people want, i.e. the ToT crafted and BoE 480 weapons for fresh level 90's going into LFR,
the downside is, crafting those weapons requires an army of alts with about 8 professions maxed out, each with daily procs that requires a diligent or organised / OCD personality.
there's a reason those crafted items are rare.
the shuffle relies on having alts that can use the proceeds from inscription, tailoring, BS, LW, JC, engineering, to craft items that each alt can use to make more heavy-duty items, i.e. daily proc items usually.
it requires knowing what can sell, and having a bank alt to hold inventory and stock items. the shuffle can work well if you put hours into it.
every day.
for months.
without any profit or reward. but when it works, it works well.
other times, you're just the 30th person to log in selling the exact same things as 29 other people.
2/ gathering generally produces the least reward, most effort. but it's steady work, and you can determine your own hours. plus you can move inventory between alts.
really avoid profiles, don't gather for more than a few hours at most, or alternate your gathering times, and switch areas frequently.
in general, gathering herbs/ore will draw attention to you from players and devs if you become the sole source of gathered items on the one server.
moderation helps, but if you can afford to lose accounts, go nuts.
3/ dailies. and rep items.
you can get around 500g/hr with dailies. it's dull, but you can do it. sometimes more, often less, but 4 hours of dailies should net around 2200g and some BoEs/mats for resale.
and with rep, you can farm up the rare or exalted faction items. (not that many BoE or tradeable rep items unfortunately)
you can get the mount patterns for JC, the larger bags (daily proc again), and a few items from the MoP factions, klaxxi/AC are kind of useless.
mostly useless. there's still a bit of gold in it.
4/ fishing. and cooking.
fishing is on par with the vegetables from the tillers farm, especially those items that are unstocked on the AH,
fish/veg can go from 3g each to 10g each, depending on how the AH is on your server.
if you farm about 50-100 of each on a few alts, or, buy all of the pumpkins if there's less than ~50, resell them at a comfortably higher price (flip)
...
get the deluxe noodle carts and/or banquets and make those
(the amount of raw mats are usually 500g per cart/300g per banquet, selling them for 50g might be good or bad. check the competition out)
5/ battle pets.
about on par with transmog item farming, but it's also doable. old BC and LK raid content, easily soloable.
the pets are still about 1k to 3k each, the handful of boe green items can be 10g to 1400g each if you have an audience who will buy transmog weapons, etc.
6/ pvp items.
harder to manage, but there's very little sellable PvP gear apart from crafted sets that are weaker than TI gear. probably a non-starter for most people.
