How to make lots of money with DE (guide)Follow

Hello!

Last night I made a guide for my fellow guildies how to make lots of money with auctioning and disenchanting. I have made over 1000g with this in a considerably short period of time:P I Made a HTML version of the guide which can be found at http://www.insanitysincarnation.com(just click the "Castillos money making guide" link under the enter forum and enter roster).

I havent seen a guide for this earlier so I decided to write my own. IMO these sort of "legal scams" should be made to public so that more people would benefit from them and it would reduce the markets of ppl who use the money they gain from this in a wrong way (ie. sell it for RL cash).

So please check it out and tell me what you think of it^^

PS. I think there is alot of typos in it, but I hope most of you will still get the point^^

so your guide is basically "use enchantrix"

that's unfortunately not much of a guide in my eyes. i'm sure there's more to it than this, would you care to expand it a bit?

yep, basicly, altough I have seen tons of guide on how to use auctioneer..

And I think most ppl tend to use encantrix only when selling enchants to calculate the prices, I believe that not too many ppl really know about this feature of it. If they would, the profits we were making would be much smaller.

But nevertheless, I strongly believe that more people could benefit from this, the ones who sell the mats and enchanters too, cause they would basicly ahve much more variety of goods to choose from and it might change the fact that "echanting is the most expensive profession to lvl"

Well basicly the items with most profit are listed at the top of the list, be it blue or green, but I have rarely disenchanted blue items cause they usually dont meet my 50% profit rule.. people tend to price blue ones higher cause they are blue:P Maybe if you use command /percentless 30 instead of /percentless 50 more higher lvl items will show up^^



Werll actually there is a hints section at the end of the guide:P and the last hint in that section is


I think that should answer the question^^

will upgrade the guide with this information

You know, DE can make you alot of money if you have a profession which makes blues and greens.

For example, a few weeks back I started a rogue. I started her with LW and Skinning, since this gives you easy greens to begin with, not to mention that selling 4-5 stacks of Light Leather will get you fairly set on monies if you do it 3-4 times per level. Anywho, I got LW up to 225 skinning (with help from a guildie who also skins, this went by uber-fast) and farming items to make high-yield items such as Deviate Scale Belts and Toughened Leather Gloves, etc (If an item has good stats/is blue at a Lv. near the breaking point for PvP (i.e. close to 19,29,39,49) it will sell well to twinks (and not-so-great items sell well to not-so-rich twinks). After reaching 225 in LW, I switched over from Skinning to Enchanting, and then just invested in LW mats. First I made some cheap things with LW so I could get Strange Dusts and shards and all that (I believe chest pieces have a higher probability of dropping shards, but I'm not 100% sure). Then, once my Ench got to 225, I lv. to 35, and then would just make X10 of whatever was orange to me in LW, and then disenchanting all. As I went from 225 to 275 LW, I got enough items to get roughly 14-15 stacks of Dreamdust, about 25-30 Greater Nether, and managed, with those mats, to get my enchanting pretty high up as well. That was my case anyway. If you just want to make money, you can just keep your enchanting solely for d/eing, but I think there's much more profit to be had from making items and d/eing them than buying cheap greens off AH.

Enchanting isn't as much expensive as it is more geared towards a higher level character, since the mats you get depend on the lv. of the gear you d/e (I believe Dream Dust doesn't start dropping until Lv. 40 items, for example). Having a guild helps immensely, since you can go on low-level instance runs (VC and Stockades are prime for this) and get an assload of low greens to get you started on enchanting.

Anywho, I got a bit off topic, but I think this is taking the slow way, and all you get is money out of it, whereas with this method you get not only money, but 300 Enchanting eventually, which leads to making a crapload of money on enchants :D

Thanks for sharing your guide. I look forward to trying it out myself.

I usually bought them all out if I had the chance (with the rule 50%). I used to do it bit in qunatity over quality, but I think it would work nicley the other way around too.

Also my server is pretty young so low lvl grrens were easy to get and here fore cheap^^

The good thing is that there are no deposits, so you can put it up and up again untill it sells:)

Well... my enchanting mole is lvl 20 now, just got 225 enchanting to him:) And he has 800g atm.. some of that has been done with buying cheap items from AH and reposting them for profit and some from disenchanting:)
I think thats pretty good amount for lvl 20..

The main reason I try to figure out these sort of techinuques is that I am too darn lazy to farm:P

But if everybody used this same tactic we wouldnt have anything on the ah:P and if nobody farmed those elementals their price would sky rocket. I like the diversity of this all and my guide is just a one way among others. At the end of the day its up to you how you make your money:)

So far, I've been trying it for 4 days. I started with a seed amount of 10G. Currently, I have 8G37S, lots of unsold mats, and a skill level of 58. Not many people seem to want to buy the expensive mats.

At least it's not a big loss.

Like xhepera said, there is no deposit in them, so you can basicly try to sell them forever. I am sure that they will sell eventually, if not try undercutting like 2%, just to put you in the beginning of the list^^

I have a question. Where the devil does Enchantrix get its pricing data? I'm seeing some confusing things. For example, one of the items that came up in my scan was an Opaque Wand. Enchantrix says that it has a value of 40s52c and a 19s buyout. The Auctioneer tooltip shows me a buyout median of 23s and suggests a buyout of 18s05c. Why the discrepancy since these two progs supposedly work together?

I realized/discovered that too late to get back and here and delete my question before someone answered and I showed what a completely clueless newbie I am. ;( Ah well, thanks for the reply anyway. I truly appreciate it! :)
