What's the best way of making gold using just HB?

[roflbear]

So how are you guys doing it? I've been using skinning, and yeah it's very profitable, but I'm wondering if there's something more profitable

Not really atm Skinning is the fastest in terms of speed ( well for me atleast) but its also the most risky as its pretty much the same as grinding

Do explain a bit more, about it being profitable

Mining, I did it 24/7 at cobalt ore and sold it about 49g per stack or bars I had about 50 stacks of 20 So 50x49 = 2.450 gold.

As far as i know pre-cata mats are easy to farm and expensive, but in same time hard to sell. On my low-mid populated server it was like 10h of farming and one week of selling.

There is nothing to explain, Leather and Dragonscales sell fast and for fair amounts on my server.

It mostly depends on your server's economy.

1) Go to the AH, compile a list of popular and 'farming' items - such as raw ores, bars, herbs, gems, inscripts, pots, etc. and write down the prices of said items.
2) Research more about the certain items. E.g. where did the gems come from and how were they cut, what items are needed to mill certain items, etc.
3) Collect maps that provides the raw items. (e.g. Hellfire drops Fel Ore and Felweed)
4) Categorise the maps along with thier items (the items that you want to farm) into Groups (e.g. Hellfire = Group 1, Basin = Group 2, etc.)
5) Calucate the income gold of each group and find out which group has the best income... (don't forget to use the items' drop rates to calucate)
6) there you go.

It's recommended to have multiple characters with different professions (e.g. Char 1 = Mining / Herbing, Char 2 = JC / Inscription, etc.)

Risky? how so? Last time i check, WOW makes you skin to either level up or make stuff. So if im skinning, i dont see how im doing something risky. I just wont bot for too long. I feel like 4-5 hours are reasonable human hours, with a life.

Also, is true, my skinning has made me money. I sell in my server stacks of heavy Savage for 400g each and 450g a stack of blackened dragonscales pretty easy. Have made good amount of money. At the same time, i will make gear using those items and sell them high. Like dragonscale leg armor. I can sell them for 2k each in my server.

Also, fishing. Fish for Highland Guppy, Lavascale catfish, and Fathoml Eel, a stack can sell for 300g each. Again, this is my server, but it works for me.

Holy hell, your server is very cleaned of bots then. Those prices are sky-high compared to almost all others.

[dragonfire665]

yea is a low population server which makes for high prices and i dont mind them. The higher, the better the demand. Heck i dont mind cutting prices from time to time, lol. i make good doing so lol.

 

[no1knowsy]

Heard dat. I might just have to go server shopping as mine is garbage for selling prices now.
