While the bot is down...

[Ricwhale]

While the bot is down, lets talk about some money making ways. I know Herb and Mining is quick and easy way to make a few thousand gold, but is it safe? I haven't used the gather bot since Cata, and ive looked in the banned sections and everyone seems to be getting banned by garther bot now. So my question is it safe? Also give me some ways to make some gold.

*INb4 HB is never safe, if you don't feel safe don't use it*

i gather a few times a week fish herbs and ore to make all my flask food and a little extra cash and ive never had any problems ive been doing that on my main account for over a year

 

[DarkNacho]

Personally I think soloing instances seems like reliable gold...

clear the instance
loot all the drops
vendor the greens blues and greys
sell the cloths and purples




Anyone gold farmers use this method?

See this is what i was wanting to do, but also getting pets. Run MC get a pet then sell it on the AH or something, make 1k more if its level 25.
What would you say that best instance is run to get good vendor drops?

I bot for like 6-7 hours a day and make about 6-7k gold per day just running my bot on kunlai summit mountain doing herbs. I think I should get mining as well but haven't leveld it that high yet..

Well I know many gold farmers run the botanica with level 80 accounts due to the high vendor drop prices and simple bottable layout, and netherweave drops but I think Blizz knows this.

Personally Ive been running the Blood Furnace on 5 of my level 80 accounts. I make about 275-325 gold per hour each account by vendoring everything except netherweave...which gets mailed to an alt who sells it for abouy 15G per stack. Keep in mind that my 275-300 gold is INCLUDING my auctioning of the netherweave.

Its not the greatest gold but botting 20 hours a day with 5 accounts? A little extra cash for me


EDIT: keep in mind, I dont care about these accounts, they are simple gold farming accts. I do NOT suggest botting 20 hours straight on any acount you care about

So my next question is that if i do make 2 accounts and raise 2 pallys to level 90 and use them both for farming 5+ hours a day, would it be wise to not attach those accounts to my mains battle.net?

 

[DarkNacho]

Well, I'm not sure. I have a main Battle.net that has many accounts on it. My main WoW account (multiple 90s, rarely bot on it) has never even been suspended. My setup looks like this

Bnet
WoW1 - Never banned (4 years old)
WoW2 - Banned for GB2
WoW3 - Banned for GB2
WoW4 - Banned for running dungeons 24/7 for about a month
WoW5 - Banned for GB2
WoW6 - Banned for running dungeons 24/7 for about a month

So what I'm saying is personally Ive had many WoW accounts banned on my Bnet account, but my main has never been touched. Having said that could anyone else verify this? Or have I just been really lucky. US servers
