I’ve been looking at the old B2B guides and they aren’t bad, but they aren’t great either. My “dream” is though that One-copper.com will become “famous” over the gold guides it produces, so the guides will get streamlined a lot more.
I’m not going to redo the old guides yet though, I’m focusing on finishing the rest first.

I’ve adapted the B2B page with a preview of what is to come. So be sure to check it!

Podcast: Discussing the methods used by the “giants”

That’s the new schedule! I hope you like it.

Yeah I was writing my installement yesterday and posted it, now I get back up on the site today to read comments etc, and I can’t see my B2B guide from yesterday. I went like wut?

It seems that my server went haywire yesterday so he “repaired” himself of the last safe spot (just after my post from the day before yesterday). So I’m sorry if you didn’t see a post yesterday, there was one, but you just couldn’t see/read it.

This means though that there are comming 2(!) B2B posts next week, so I hope you can forgive my bad little server.

www.onecopper.com is comming available and I’m being swamped by companies that want to sell it to me. I’m not changing though so they can do nasty things to themselves.

I hope you guys will comment on Tuesdays post though! If there are no reply’s I can’t go out and buy gifts for you all!

Hey whow… it’s Thursday today! That means I can post the B2B guide tomorrow! I’m also thinking about getting a project up, letting the readers decide with which profession I should make money, or reselling what or…..
tell me what you think of that.

I’m quite busy at work though so going to stop all my incoherent talk.

see ya!
*miep miep* … vrooooooom!

EDIT: Sorry if this was weird or something. But I have the right to freak out anytime I want… sometimes.

A quick list of what I play reguraly:
-WoW
-EVE
-Fallout 3
- since I got a 10day free trial: Fallen Earth

This list is waaay to big. I have a full time job and university to keep up so I really can’t support 4-5 games at the same time. Now I don’t want to put Fallout 3 off yet, though there is a big chance It’s getting replaced by FE (<3 this game) so that would mean I had 3 MMORPG's to fit in my Schedule.. 3!

We all know that 3 is too much so one needed to be cut. And the cut was WoW or EVE. I’ve been struggling for the last week orso what to cut, but in the end the *insert profanity* with EON magazine gave way for my choice.

I stopped playing EVE. And will continue playing WoW and FE. So that means I’ll probably yet again go forward with the blog! Now I got great news today too, I’m accepted in a Top10 raiding guild in our server, which means I’m completely “psyched” again about WoW. Hopefully it will help me to go out and find some half-wacked, psycho money making scheme.

so whats happening:
- The blog continues…
- Daily updates will return to the blog
- B2B will return after almost a month of nothingness
- Talking with some people to get a podcast out (again)
- A new video will appear on the blog and on the YouTube Channel.
- maybe a new lay-out (depends on what you think)

Now go and read the title again, I’ll wait.

I told you, you would be happy

From level 58 to 68 you should be leveling in Outland. And there are enough money-making opportunities here to go over them separately. So here comes the good stuff:

General
-lvl 58-60 gear should be sold at the AH. They fetch a good price, since they are 3x more powerful as the old stuff.
- All meat, fish, white tradegoods should be sold at the AH. meat from Outlands easily goes for 50G a stack, and you are killing mobs to level anyway.

Professions
First and foremost, get lil’ sparky’s workshop. Seriously get it. It displays if the mats are worth more then the item you make. Outlandish mats are word a shizzleload of money. But so are the crafted stuff. So be sure you don’t lose money on crafting worthless garbage.
- Leather goes for a great price, so only use what you need to get through the skillpoints, sell the rest on the AH
- Engineers can extract motes in outland: do it do it do it! it’s the firsttime that you can make a killing!
——————————–
Motes sell high but slow!
——————————–
- Blacksmiths: be aware! Be sure that the ore isn’t worth more then the bars before you smelt them!
- Jewelcrafters: sad but true, try and not prospect the ore! again only prospect if it’s needed to get trough your skillpoints. the gems are practically worthless, the greens sell low and slow, and the blues sell high and real sllooo-oow.
-Tailors: again be sure to make profit and check the price!
-Enchanters: oh my this is a dream for you guys, you can almost disenchant anything here and make a killing. Well almost anything. Do note that the mats sell quick and slow at the same time. If someone is leveling enchanting all of your mats will be bought up fairly fast, but if no-one is leveling it, it can go very slow.
- Alchemists: sorry to say but you are screwed royally. Again this only use the herbs needed to blaze through the skilllvls, and sell the rest. Potions don’t sell, they can be bought from faction-vendors.
- Inscriptioners, well glyphs sell on every level I guess.

Farming top 4
Hellfire pens: ore, cloth and boar meat and can be farmed like crazy
Nangrand: Leather, herbs and meat come in high quantities here.
Blade edge: ore and cloth are perfect wins
Zangar marsh: herbs, herbs and herbs are abundant.

I’m stopping here, I feel that I really missed something, but I’m running a fever and am at work, so tbh I really can’t go on.
If you see stuff I missed, let me know and I’ll add it tomorrow.

And here we are again with a new installment of the Back to Basics guide!

Before we are going to jump in to the fray I’ll explain whats comming next:
an Auctioneer video, lvls 58-68, 68-79 and 80. An indepth look at 80, addons, farmspots, leveling proffesions in the right way, the AH battleground etc etc. so more is comming!

Enough chit-chat… let’s get it on!

40-58 is a miners wet dream. prepare to get somewhere between 50 and 200gold for each stack of ore, 10G for your stone and 25+ for each gem. mine everything you come across while you don’t lose too much time, is an easy way to make 1K+ money before you get to 60 and while you aren’t even thinking about it. Herbalism is as always some nice gold at the side, though it isn’t as good as mining. Gromsblood sells for quite a lot of money though, just put them in stacks of 1 or 2 on the AH.
NOTE: Gromsblood is a drop from mobs!
The price of leather also goes up again and thick leather/hides can be sold for about 25-125gold a stack. (depending on server)

The REAL money comes in from gear though. You heard me! stop dissenchanting the greens guys and lads. because at level 40 shamans and Hunters get to wear mail, and warriors and paladins go for Plate. So each peice of mail/plate you find/craft that’s between the level range: 40-46ish (depends on server) needs to be put on the AH. In some cases these get bought for insane (100G+) prices. Helmet pieces do exceptionally well with a wopping 250G(!!)

If you are a dragonscale leatherworker, or a blacksmith prepare yourself for this small bit of pure profit, since it doesn’t last long.

totally out of the blue here but if you have an 80, think about boosting some lvl50′s through ST. every class gets a quest here and a lot of ppl want to pay some money for it. It ain’t much but at least it’s something if you’re bored.

The rest is pretty much the same. DE everthing that’s 50+ and dropped in azeroth, enchanting mats sell well, jc products sell well – though note that the mats are often worth more at this stage- and lw, bs and tailors draw the short straw from lvl48+.

Also DON’T buy gear at this level! since you’ll be going to Outland soon, you’ll see that the gear there outstrips your own by far.
ah well that’s it for today, short but sweet I say.

See you next time.
Same gold channel, same goldtime…

As you have guessed this isn’t a “guide” installement of the B2B guide.
This is more of a survey.

I know that a lot of people were really “sycked” – looking forward – about the Guide.
Since we are 1/3 +/- of the way there I would like to know how you feel about it. So if please Awnser these 3 quick questions to help me, help you!

1: Did the guide live up to your expectations.

2: Is it helpfull?

3: Is there anything you would like to add, improve?

It’s always good to know what to sell when you level. So today I’ll go about the basic thing from lvl10-39 and see what are the best sellers.

General TOP sellers:
- ore, herbs, leather sell well, if there are special cases I’ll list them
- fish oil and shiny fish scales for shaman sell well, better as horde though
- pearls
- cloth
-bloe BOE
- enchants (and enchant mats)

BAD sellers:
grey and white gear… vendor them
food and water … delete them

lvl 10-19
TOP sellers:
-Every piece of gear you come across
-Blue lvl17 boe items (twink gear)
-profession gear (JC++)
-meat, seriously meat for cooking
-tin ore => kaching ching!
-Beastslayer is the only enchant remotly selling well

BAD sellers:
- enchanting: low lvl enchanting is useless.
- small glimmering shards… too many of them are around 10silver a pop.. maybe. use them in beastslayer
-herbs, leather and cloth are slow and low sellers.

lvl20-29
TOP sellers:
- Spider silk: 50G a pop
- shoulder items, even greys sell like crazy!
-swiftthistle and wild steelbloom sell fast and high
- blue gear
- enchanting mats (dusts in particular)
- Bronze tube for allaince Quest

BAD sellers:
- mid 20′s green gear

EXTRA’s:
Green gear is better disenchanted and sold for mats from this point on. This is a general rule, and if not I’ll state otherwise.
Shoulder gear is a bit lower in demand because of the BOA’s.

lvl30-39
TOP sellers
- head items, unlike shoulders: only the greens sell.
- blue JC rings sell like a charm
- leather: heavy leather sells high, thought not fast.
- meat and fish, cooking hits a dry spot here. (150-200ish)
- purple lotus sells incredible well.
-Truesilver: whouuuw!
- Frost oil (recipe found in AM) – needed for a quest
-Fiery enchant, if you already have it by now, start making this like crazyz

BAD sellers:
- nothing special

That’s it for today, if you have anything to add: comment!!

So normally Chapter 3 should have been about Auctioneer and only Auctioneer, full with vid’s and comments. Sadly enough WoW hate’s FRAPS and I’ll have to make the vid on my other pc, which is currently unavailable.

All in all I think it’s for the best. Here in Chapter 3 I’ll show you 10 addons that can make your life a lot easier as a “Mule”. Do note that all the credit goes to respective creators and that the addons themselves can be downloaded from curse. The list is displayed in the order of importance:

1. Auctioneer (and preferably the suite) This is the meatgrinder of your operation, It does all the work, it gets you average moving price, mats, what’s the use and more. It scans, posts and does soo much more. (Chapter 5 will guide you through all the meat of this huge addon)

2. Postal/easymail: both of these addons do the same. They let you empty your mailbox with 1 or 2 clicks and believe me it will save you a tremendous amount of time. and time not spent posting is time wasted. “Time is money friend” – Goblins

3. ATSW (Advanced TradeSkill Window) makes your life so much easier if you are a heavy crafter with queuing, auto parts crafting etc. EDIT: also gives a “shopping list at the AH/vendor if you want to!

4. Lill Sparky’s workshop: A plug in that works perfectly with ATSW. it displays the mat cost, the sell price and the enchanting mats price. Wonderfull to see what to do with your crafted “stuff”

5. Arkinventory, one of the best bag control addons ever. It lets you sort, search, and soooo much more. if you have a banker or your raiding a lot, this makes finding something in your pile of junk a piece of cake.

6. Market Watcher, love this! It let’s you follow items on the AH and displays a graph for min, max, average price. average moving price. when it’s the best time to buy and when to sell. I use this heavily when moving in a new market.

7. Panda. The dissenchanter and millers best friend, one button for every mill.dissenchant and enchant. and every crafted item of ever proffesion in one overview. Okaj addon overall, but really shines with Enchanting and Inscription.

8. OneNote, this comes in handy from time to time, I “friend” my adversaries, so I can see when they are online, OneNote lets me make notes on them on what they sell heavily, professions, login times etc.

9.Titan gold plug in, this is good if you want to know your total amount of money on a given realm. If your money is spread out over several characters and a bank or two, this is nice to know, yet not really needed.

10. TooltipWealth, last and least, this is useless 99% of the time. but when you see another banker next to you, it’s always nice to see how much gold he has, especially when you are making a move to take over or rip a piece of his market.

If i forgot something let me know!

.

Here we are going to explain what proffesions are good while leveling: money wise.

Gathering professions:
All of these are solid, though they take time away from leveling, if that is not a concern, go ahead and farm away. Also note that the real money will come between lvl40 and 70, since there aren’t many farmers in this lvl range and the mats are free for the taking. (most of the time the price of fe. Thorium = saronite x3)

Crafting professions
Alchemy:
This I would NOT recommend to take while leveling.
It is great for self preservation and faster leveling but the money of it is abysmal. Some sellers here are:
Healing/mana potions. PVP (lvling) characters are known to use these and sell pretty good. I noticed a rise since pvp lvling came out so this could make you some money.
Frost oil Needed for a low lvl quest this recipe can be found in Alterac Mountains and sells slowly but surly.
Elixer of agility and elixer of demonslaying the first is used in low level Leatherworking the other in enchanting and sell very very slow, but very very high.

Blacksmithing
A solid gold maker, though you would benefit from selling the mats instead of the product half the time. Take it if you are a plate wearing character that needs his own armor/weapons and still wants money out of the deal.
Great sellers:
Apart from all the green/blue armor you can make there are some that sell better then others.
bronze shoulders the first mail shoulder item with stats on it, prepare to ask for as much as 5times the mats are worth on the AH the same goes for the first helmet.
mithril items these are lvl40+ at lvl40 mailwearers go to plate and these early lvl40 items sell like candy. Very high price and sell really fast.
lvl60+ with sockets you can make these and make them pretty easily, prepare to get some big bucks from them. Though note that they are slow sellers.

enchanting
This… right here= “epicnes”
All the enchants with stats on them will sell (except spirit on the lower lvls) even the +1 stamina on bracers will sell so if you want big bucks, do it right and get this. take tailoring with it for maximum income and be sure to know what to sell (enchants or tailorstuff) on your server.
Worth wile sellers:
NOTE: all on a parchement !! selling on /2 can lead to utter destruction of your gold reserve
the ever known Fiery and Icy on weapons, not only are these great for pvp they also are great on HEIRLOOM weapons and a lot of ppl take them accordingly.
Weapon/chest enchants without lvl requirements.
(since Heirloom doesn’t like these requirements) they have been in the rise for some time, and I expect them to top out again once the current raiding (3.3) content is done.
Agility/intellect/stamina/attack power/crit/hit
The best sellers under the enchants.

Engineering:
Let’s skip this one okaj? you’ll do good to your self doing it too, almost everything while lving = BoP

Inscription:
This is a half and half one, while lvling it isn’t the best and isn’t the worst.
Worthwile inscriptions to sell:
Minor glyphs
These are still a bit more profitable then the ones you learn. so when you can make these

Jewelcrafting
oooooh shiny….. Rings, trinkets, necklaces, gems do I need to go on people?
literal gems:
lvl10-20 rings and lvl15-25 necklaces
Known fact: turn one copper bar into gold just by creating the copper rings… All the lower lvlones WITH stats sell great. Don’t bother on selling the +hits they don’t sell well. Malachite pendant, malachitering, tigereye band, elegant silver ring all of these sell great
Green gems
The outland ones, they are much better then the whites you can buy at helfire and they sell.
NOTE: the green ones in Northrend sell better uncut since they are used to make “blue” ones through gem crystal recipe

Leatherworking
My personal favorite…
Sells for decent money and sells quickly.
Best to sell
lvl5-15 items: (Embossed…..)
with agi and sta on most of them they sell for 1G a piece 5 times and more a day.
Dark leather….
these are rogue/hunter specified items and sell for a great price!
lvl40+
Dragonscale leatherworking
is the best one here. Leatherwearers (shaman and hunters) go to mail, and the items that you get here are awesome moneymakers!
Scorpidscale….
same as above
NOTE: prepare to hate Outland though the money cow gets really really thin here

Tailoring
Great seller. especially when paired with Enchanting
golden cloths:
all low levels sell really well
azure Silk hood and woolen shoulders
The first shoulders and head in game with stats on them, milk it like you love it. They sell for decent money and they sell fast.
netherweave bags
No need to explain this? cheap 16 slotters = sold!

that’s it for today. If I missed anything be sure to let me know!

Chapter 1 will tell you what to do while leveling, what you need to hold in your bags and what not. These tips and tricks are very simple, and gains only a moderate amount of cash, but they are needed inorder for you to succeed in your future endeavors.

Before lvl2:

Before you start leveling the character you want to level, make a Bank alt. Do it now! it will seriously lower the time needed to get everything to the auction house. (and will save a lot and lot of bagspace)
Once you have your bank alt, you may continue reading.

PART1
Into the Wild: General

So you are running around killing things and questing a bit… these are the things you need to do:
Greys: Especially grey weapons and mail/plate. Keep them in your bags as long as possible: Greys are free money, and good money too.
White’s: White items come in 3 categories.
- Food and drink (use: restore ….): if you don’t need those for yourself: TROW THEM AWAY!
- weapons and armor: sell to the vendor asap.
- Tradeskill items: leather, cloth, meat, fish, etc etc: Do not dare to vendor those! if you have white items and they aren’t weapons, armor or food/drink they are worth putting up on the Auction house and they can easily give you that starting gold you need.

Tip: Low level meat is a very very good seller, boar meat, string wolf meat etc, sell for as much as a gold a piece! and those are lvl5 drops!

Greens: Greens also come in 3 categories:
- General greens: (tradeskill items) put them on the AH.
- Gear/weapons lvl1-19 and 38-45(mail and plate only): Sell them on the AH
- Other gear/weapons: dissenchant them and put the mats on the AH.
Note: the lvl1-19 and 38-45 items are great sellers on the AH. 1-19 everyone wants to be decked in greens and wants that +1 stamina. 38-45: hunter/shamans go to mail and pala’s/warriors go to plate, and they want it asap so they go for 40-50G… seriously
Blues/Epics: Sell at AH, don’t wear them… seriously don’t… sell them, I still regret wearing the “bow of searing arrows” on my first ever hunter when it dropped from a hyena in Tanaris.

Tradeskills Everyone says: take two gathering skills while leveling: I say BS!
Getting 2 gathering skills takes waaay to much time. The best ones for leveling and getting a good buck are the following:
- Mining Jewelcrafting: want to sell some easy to make rings for 1G when you are lvl10? for 5G at lvl15 and about 50G when you are lvl20+? get Jewelcrafting, the prices are nuts on 75% of the servers
- Tailoring/enchanting: but don’t dissenchant everything you make. the first head fe. is the lowest lvl head piece in the game that has stats and sells really really well. make sure that you know what to disenchant and what to put up the AH for max profit.
-Skinning/Leatherworking: Takes virtually no time and the gear sells well. (I’m selling embossed leather gloves for 1Gold a piece… and sell it about 5 times a day. easy profit for no time)
-mining/blacksmithing: Takes a bit more time and can be a bitch to level, but it sell really really well… most of the time.

More info on particular items in a following post

PART 2
Leveling 1-10
Ofcourse everything that is stated above is true, with some additions:
1: Get more bags asap: everytime you destroy a grey item, or you can’t pick something up you lose some gold.
2: get your Tradeskill at lvl5… NOW!
3: Important do NOT wear any greens that aren’t Quest rewards before lvl10!!! do not do it! I know it looks nice, But +1stamina or +1strength isn’t going to make any difference.. so whow… you hit for 0.2 damage more.. or you have 10hp extra… gimme a break. Sell the damn thing for 1-5gold at the AH… yes there are people that want greens asap.. they are usually the ones that are poor. Getting that first Gold with one item is a huge step towards the mountains of gold later on in the game!

That’s it for today, almost 700 words so this is getting a wall of text.
