Several questions:
- Dailies or Grinding? (I havent got the gold guide yet - so I dont know how to “play the AH :D”
- Selling ore or prospecting? (Saronite, Titanium etc.)
- Should I always undercut the competitor’s prices, or buy their stock and create a monopoly? Which is more time-efficient?
I have some gold (1000+) to play the auction with, but how do you choose what to buy and sell. I am on a couple different servers and find that the auction demands are quite different. For example, I bought all the mageweave cloth I could and re-sold it for 25-50% profit, unfortunately I had to keep lowering my price as “farmers” would undercut me all the time and there was quite a flow on one server, but on the other server there was virtually no cloth to buy so it was much nicer to work on that one.
I do have auctioneer as well. What other add-ons would your recommend for auctioning etc.
Nice job on the videos as well I find your script to be easy to listen to as well as informative.
What addons would you recommend in addition to auctioneer? Referring to your preview videos, do you think crafting-professions like tailoring and jewelcrafting can be good gold-makers?
Im a long time player and long time broke player. At the core of your guide do you illustrate and make clear how I can get a handle on observing the key factors that will make a difference to earning gold through your system. So guides at the core are lists of items to buy/grind/find and it all amounts to no fun. I feel like your videos are heading towards the system rather than the items. I like that. its just what all of us ghetto broke players need.
horde ftw

I hate losing the multi-gold AH deposits on higher end gear if it doesn’t sell. What is the best day to sell weapons/armor and what is the best guide to price setting?
hi i wonder which things are te best to buy when you plays the ah (what is the best selling item i can buy low and sell high)?
i appreciate any help =D
What is your average profit made from playing the AH in one day, and the average profit made from playing the AH for one week?
This would be very useful statistics for me to see what I should be aiming to get!
I have been watching all your videos and am really interesed in learning more about pipelineing. I would really like to know what addon do you use for this tactic to set the price on th AH and what are the best iteams to use?
thank you
I’ve found that more frequently now, people are pricing things way to high and nothing seems to be selling, even if i am undercutting them. Should i simply wait for a few weeks for the prices to come back down? or try to sell it now and eat the deposit if it doesn’t sell?
i got a few questions:
is it required to have a certain amount of gold? or will people be able to start from scratch?
will any addons be needed?
you say 10k gold can be earned a week, but does that count for people that use only 1 pipeline, or only if you use several pipelines?
Ok so here’s my question:
If I buy an item that’s undercutting at the moment, and then directly re-sell it, how do I make a profit from that? I DON’T. Second, If I buy an item that is above market price and resell it, how do I make a profit off of that? I DON’T. So… what is the point being here? I do understand the… reasoning behind it.. but what am I supposed to DO with the item, if I can’t make money back off of it?
Is there a way to have Auctioneer automatically purchase low? I there a time during the week when there an overall trend of lower cost to purchase? Is there a time during the week when there is an overall trend of things selling at a premium?
Is disenchanting & selling the ‘proceeds’ of the operation a good way to go? I saw that some of the ‘basic’ materials went at great prices at different times.
Is it better to have two farming trade skills, one farming and one manufacturing, or two manufacturing trade skills?
I imagine, in the short term that two farming skills will make money quicker but what about the long haul?
i have seen several guides and done plenty of research about how to make gold.. i basically see 3 routes to choose from… the dailies route … the farming route… and the buy the low items and sell for a higher profit route…
with that being said by combining all 3 of these routes into your daily WoW playing time of course you would be online for much more than an hour a day and possibly end up doing just those things all day; but wouldn’t this be even MORE effective still at making money and ending up with thousands of gold?
for the T.L.D.R. version
by combining dailies, farming, and buying items with buy low sell high technique couldn’t we make even MORE money comparatively to using just one or two of these mentioned techniques combined?
1. Is it possible to make larger sums of gold, without starting out with a sizable amount to invest?
2. Is it possible to make gold without higher level professions?
How do you usually deal with morons, Jon?
You know the type. The ones that come online and conclude that “ahhh, it’s Tuesday, today’s undercuts will be by 50%!”.
I try and try, but they seem to be able to crash any market I try out.
Take care, and good luck with the launch!
can you buy gold from blizzard for wow if so how ??
canyou get gold makeing downloaded into the game ?
or is there an addon for it if so wat is it called
thankyou and be safe
You mentioned on twitter that you do use Auctioneer and Auctionator addons. What do you use them for?
Also, do you use sites like wowecon.com to keep track of the peaks and troughs that some items prices go through?
Best regards Ad
Is there a quick way to make gold? If you are the raiding type of player, repair bills hurt! I find myself having to scrounge for gold to repair.
I did notice that selling blue gear (pickups from kills) doesn’t seem very profitable… Usually it’s very high priced, but the repeat post prices in the AH are killers. What’s your opinion there?
What pipeline items would you say are universally good buys? What is your opinion on DE’ing for gold?
simple question,
what settings do you use for your auction house?
series of screen shots or a walkthrough will be nice
Auctioneer* sorry for double post
How is your guide going to cover all the different aspects of making gold or are you going to only go over the best ways that you your self do it? Is farming instances one way in your book
I have been playing wow for almost 4 1/2 years now, and up until wotlk i have had almost no problems playing the auction house, but i feel now so many people are farming items it is almost impossible to keep up. How do you mange all this competition and should i start looking at maybe more rare items instead of the traditional mats/rep items.
Is there any easier way to find out what sells? I scan with auctioneer all the time but that can take weeks to a month or two just to find out what i should be selling. Is there any way to find out a Mean Price faster?
From what I’ve read on various websites in regards to “gold-making”, farming seems to be one of the most effective ways of going about it. Are there any special guides out there that you can recommend involving farming various items (including any kind of cloth, which is a given
)? Also, where are some good places to find rare items that sell wonderfully on the AH?
I’m not a noob when it comes to WOW so any suggestions of locations, I’ve most likely heard of. Also, I have tried Auctioneer but still haven’t mastered it yet. Your guides so far have been helpful in understanding how the add-on works the best. I’m sure it’ll help me get the means to buy what I want soon enough
Hey, I have been doing dailies , farming and done the action house thing.My addons doesn´t work so can´t download actioneer.I´ve been working my ass off, but still haven´t got the money for epic flyer.-.-What am I doing wrong O_o.Maybe it´s the acioneer…I atleast have 2k gold and I´m lvling up my tailoring and enchanting.Are they good money makers? I´ve heard that enchanting are good at max lvl…What do you suggest me to do?Actioneer doesn´t work so that is not an option I think. Well thx anyway/Elitmedflit - Undead - Warlock - Skullcrusher
For the newbie players just starting out (for example I’m a level 15 Rougue) what or how is the best way to get gold or money flowing to me as quickly as possible to be able to use your other money making techniques?
I’m on a dead server with a population steadily LOW, is there hope to make money on AH on a dead server?
i got a couple of question
how long does it take to make alot of gold?
what items should io buy then sell in ah?
i dont have time to play much so will i need to play alot to make big gold?
ty for guide
Hi John
Thanks very much for the vids. Very helpful.
I am still pretty new to Auctioneer though and all of the features are quite daunting.
Do you have an “Auctioneer for Dummies” guide that can walkthrough the basics of how to use Auctioneer as well as some of the most valuable and effective features to maximise benefit?
What would you consider the one indispensable addon that you use in your gold making?
I’d guess Auctioneer, but I may be wrong.
In game i go over many of the aspects of the game from PvP, to dungeons and raids, Questing, Whatever it is I really do a bit of it all. The Thing i have had the largest problem with in game is GOLD. I generally make around 300-400g in a week from action house buying and reselling, raiding, and light farming. From the videos i have seen i have probably increased my gold income 200g just with auction house, still a long way from 10,000g lol, but the point is i am interested in your product. NOW MY ACTUAL QUESTION IS: Should i just stick to auction house buying and selling or should i continue to farm 4 gold. Knowing that i hate farming?
In your guide you talk about Pipelines, i’ve tried following your methods but my realm is tricky, nothing is worth buy and re-selling because the profit isnt worth it, even titansteel bars on my realm sell for 150g lowest and 160g highest. even other items dont sell well, on the method i make say 100g a week profit, what should i be looking for exactly and how do i know if i found the right item at the right price?
Hi
When should I buy things like Titansteelbars (on sunday, because it’s cheaper then, because…. I don’t know :D)
and when should I sell it? (at the weekend or at tuesdays or so… :D)
The question that has been killing me is this:
How exactly do you know where to start when first starting the blueprint methond?
What i mean here is, how do you know what items exactly to buy in order to start making profit?
I have been trying to fin great deals on items, but it always seems that i am getting undercut on all the items that i start posting. Within 1 hour of my item being on the AH, i am getting drastically undercut by 1 person. Then, another person will undercut him and my auction(s) end up expiring. Please help.
I would like to know how you profit from monopoly? If you have 200,000+ gold, is it not possible to manipulate the market and control it completely?
I imagine some items are not easily managed since they can be “harvested infinitely” like mining and herbalism. But stuff like enchanting materials should be possible to control?
In general: Which gold-making options ‘unlock’ when you reach 6 digits worth of gold?
How can you tell what to pipeline and what not to pipeline? I have tried and I could not figure out what price to buy my inventory and start building my pipelines. any suggestions? Thanks
I make on average 550g/day from the AH which I thought was pretty decent. You have stated I can make 10,000g/week which is around 1400g/day. Thinking about the things I do to get what I get now, I can’t really see there being something so paramount that I’m missing out on. Without leaving a huge question like “how?”, I’m going to leave the question. Is the amount you make considerably effected by the population of your server?
What classification of items have you noticed have the most profit potential ex. Trade goods, Armor + Weapons, etc?
Have you considered an in-game add-on that could work with another map add-on, such as cartographer, to point out great resale vendor items?
Something like that would be a great boon for anyone who wants to make gold using some of your suggestions.
Here is my one important question,
Every time I read or look up ways to make gold it always involves buying and selling other peoples items from the Auction House. I want to know if there is an easy, efficiant, and fast way to get gold without looking through the Auction House for cheap scraps to resell.
When you have multiple, same, items, e.g. 20 stacks of mithril ore…What would you do to sell them?
1) Do you list them all at the same time and same price?
2) Do you list them all at the same time at diff prices to see which on sells the most at a particular price?
3) Do you only list 2 or 3 at a time and sell the others the next day or later that same day?
OR
4) Other
How do you combat against “newbies” destroying market pipelines by posting several items at ridiculously low prices just to make a few quick gold?
At first i figured they would gradually give up and move one, but most of my profit making pipelines are being destroyed by these newbies that catch on to what i am trying to do and flood the market to turn a quick gold instead of both of us making a lot of gold.
Any suggestions on how to fight back would be nice. or maybe its best to move on.
Your videos have been very helpful and full of good information. My question is whether an alt is required to handle all the transactions or if the main can do the job. I find it complicates things a bit to have more than one toon involved.
Hi John,
Looking forward to the new stuff.
My question is regarding AH timing. Do you find there are better days of the week to buy and sell items in the AH to maximize profits?
Thanks,
Martin
What if some of the items, for example arctic fur, were on the AH for a ridiculously high price? And nobody undercut the item? Then how would you make any profit, or get anyone to buy your item? And have you considered differences in the AH prices between different servers?
Ok so i’m the casual wow player who just throws up greens and mats onto the AH undercutting by a few silver. This works in some cases, but I always seem to log back on, and find about 1/3 of the auctions to sell and 2/3 be sent back to me. I have the auctioneer mod to scan and see what I can generally sell an item for. MY QUESTION to you is how do I use this powerful mod to find the “pipelines” and take full advantage of them? and also how do you know when to buy and when to sell? It seems very hard to predict when the prices will hit the bottom and when they hit a high enough for a good selling price. Thanks for making the sample videos, they have helped me make 1.5k in a week on my level 49 pally. keep them coming, I want to know more =)thanks.
In your preview videos Auctioneer is a central tool. Will Massive Gold Blueprint include instructions on recommend tool and settings which optimize use?
I’ve flipped through several gold guides in the past, and thus far they haven’t really done what they said they would. I’ve tried their strategies, but for the most part they recommend skinning and mining or herbalism and just selling what I pick up. I want to know: how can I make all of the gold I need without devoting HOURS to making gold?
I really enjoy WoW and would like to continue to enjoy it without feeling like a slave to making gold. Also, how do you figure out what people are willing to pay for an item? You talk about buying low and selling high enough to make 30-50g profit per item on some things, but how do you figure out what that cap is that people are willing to pay?
Also, when you play the AH, do you find that your buying habits start to shift the market? When you buy up all of the titansteel bars, for example, for 110g each, and then sell them for 180g+, do you find that prices start to shift upwards? And if they do shift, do those price become permanent, or do they settle back down after a while?
Thanks!

I have 3 toons all on one server (Feathermoon, US) with a combined amount of 2k gold. I am a skinner on all my toons, on my main(lvl 69 NEH) a LW and on the other two an herbalist and miner. I have made the most profit selling pets on my server (i.e. white kitten), but have noticed that mostly “purple and blue” items are the biggest sellers (and most profitable items) on my server. With work and school, I don’t have much time to play per day, so I have several questions:
1) What do you do when one player (or the same several players) are constantly putting up 4-10 listings of the same item daily, and you want to sell that item as well? Should you undercut, or buyout their items and resell?
2) If you only have auctioneer, and limited gold (say you have 100g on one toon), what is the best way to find out which items make the most sense to pipeline?
3)People on my server for the most part are cheapskates and don’t want to spend more than 100% of value for almost any item (unless they are purple or blue), how can I efficiently sell “white and green” items for maximum profit, in this situation?
Thanks for your videos and advice!
How do I pick up on the the latest hot item that I can make huge profits on before they become to widely known?
In my own mind, I’m decent at generating gold using the AH. I currently have about 12kg on hand, and all I make is being spent on alts. However, I’ve never been able to break the 20kg mark. My usual methods are stuck at about 200g a day total.
So my question - for what you would call a Advanced Gold maker, how do I make the leap to Massive Gold Generation? 10k+ a week, and having 150k+ on hand etc.
Thanks,
Zilch
I’ve seen some ppl “buying the market and owning it”. They buy all the items of one kind and makes sure they are the only `seller on the market. If someone undercut them, they simpley just buy the item and sell it at the price they choose.
I know this will need a lot of money, but it sounds like a risky, but profitable way of owning the AH?
Jon,
How do I fine tune the settings in Auctioneer (or any addon really) to make it find the items that will sell and at the right price for snatching them up and then repost them at the highest possible selling price?
There are a lot of statistical settings in these addons and while I have enough math to understand what the numbers are I don’t really know how changing them will affect how the AH addon works. And being a minimum effort AH scanner, I like to start Auctioneer scanning then ALT-Tab out and do some other work, it’s in my best interest to make it do as much work automatically as I can to minimize the manual effort required in amassing all my gold

Id love to hear your opinion on the natural weekly fluctuation of market prices - we all know prices drop on the weekend, I know I usually make my highest profit sales after the weekely resets, but even so when you heve a lot of weekend gamers flooding the market with an excess of cheap materials, its hard to make a profit on some pipelines - I once blew 4k gold on trying to control the prices of essences, but inevitably the prices kepts going down regarldess of how much money I threw at the proiblem. I hope to make more cash on them when the next raid is out, but until then, it was a bad investment.
I would love to know what strategies and what advice you can give for making money over the weekend (which traditionally spills over somewhat into friday afternoon and mondays) when prices on everything drops so drastically and profit margins shrink a lot as a result of it.
Hey. I am playing the AH by my self, and i really enjoy it. But how do i know my item will sell? sometimes i buy items, and then they just DON’T wanna sell. it’s really anoying.
And what shall i do if i buy an item for really low gold and i’m gonna re-list it ? should i undercut my compition, or sell higer that my compition, or sell it for around the same price?
thanks !
ps. your free videos really inspired me. And it also helped me alot.
Jon,
Some of these posts make me wonder how serious others are about actually wanting to make gold since you have already answered many of the questions in your free videos.
I currently fit into your “Advanced” gold maker category and want to move past the day to day question of “What in the world is selling low today so that I MIGHT make a little profit reposting it”. What addon/database/website do you use to find the statistical data necessary to discover a pipeline? Also, what attributes do you use to conclude if a pipeline should be used as a primary or secondary money maker and which ones should be avoided altogether?
Thanks for the free videos. The theory of what you have done has already helped me to start thinking outside of the box about just buying low and selling high.
Whats the best server population to go for? A less populated or one that is heavily populated for fastest gold to time ratio?
I heard during the upcoming winter veil prices for many ah items will be low due to high server population. What are some items that can turn good profit by being resold at a later time?
I do have a question about auctioneer itself. I periodically take a break from wow for sometime and on occasion when I come back the economy on my server has changed so much that auctioneer does not represent the actual values of items.
How does one go about deleting the current database to store a new one? I have tried using auctioneer’s /auctioneer clearall function with now luck.
Also, how do you feel about setting oneself up with several products in which they have a controlling share in the market and can directly influence prices?
Hey Jon,
My question is for the serious WOW players that also have families and jobs and thus have limited time to do the research to make MASSIVE gold. Is your MGB 3.0 program videos and start up time suitable for us full time everything else folks who love playing WOW??
Thanks for your preview videos.
John
I like to make gold by doing quests and dailies, sort of get fresh air and meet monsters - that way I found random items drop - worth alot from AH a few times - How can I find more of these valuable items more often?
I am a total noob when it comes to making gold and I’ve sadly been playing since vanilla. I’ve never had the gold to even get epic flight…i’ve won the proto drake from cot several times but cannot ride it. It’s utterly emberassing. I have a hard time buying low and selling high as I play one of the most populated servers in game and the market fluxuates so much each day… I’m talking arctic furs selling for 100g a pop one day only to drop to 25g the next. Do I wait for those low times and buyout as much as I can and resell when it goes up? How can I do this if I don’t have much more than 500g at any given time and need that gold for raid prep. And I mean I have two gathering professions so idk what my problem is. 450 skinning and mining. Problem with skinning is the price of borean leather really ain’t worth the grind and I have crap luck with fur drops.
I was wondering what some of the items that are most likely to sell are, you have mentioned a few in your preview videos, but it seems as though whatever i try to sell ends up not selling, is it the items, the timing? please help
Hello jon! My question is:
Should i try to farm for rare pets, or try making some at the AH with buy low sell high technique ? I once got a pet thatvi sold for 3k and it was worth 3-10000k or more…yet im all the time learning more about the auction house
and one more question…why is it that so few of so many discover these awesome gold making techniques, when its so hard for other players to “make a living in game” or so…
Is it just luck? Or do those people just study hard about wow gold making.
P.S its awesome that you share some of your nollige about making gold for free. Ur awesome
best regards
casper
on my server (thunderhorn) the price of mithril ore and bars has made a drop from 100g a stack to 40g a stack in the ah. Would u say this is a good time to place mithril at the higher price or would you recommend putting them at a price just a bit higher then 40g?
Jon,
You mention several times to sell at a price that players are willing to pay. My question is, how do you find that price point?
I have turned off the undercut function in Auctioneer, and it seems to work ok. But I think that I should be setting my prices higher. How do you determine what that price is, without spending a lot of money in fees?
How fast can I pick this up and start makin gold?
Have a few 80’s and tired of Grindin Dailys and Mining, etc. Want something I can apply today and get rollin.
What is the time from out of the box to applying in game?
Thanks
How do you find out which items can be placed repeatedly at very favourable prices in the AH with no deposit charge, so it doesn’t matter how often they are re-submitted as you don’t lose money, like most items, if they are not sold? (Means you can set a high price and not worry if it is not sold for a while.. e.g. Arcane Dust)
How much gold can i make with this guide?
Do i have to be level 80 for this guide to be usefull?
How many tips am i actually going to use in this guide?
Is every tip usefull?
How much gold do i have to have to start making gold using this guide?
Will the tips in this guide start helping me right away?
Prices moves a lot, but when are generaly the lowest / highest prices on the ah ? Is there any addons to have a graphical vue of prices each hour/day/week ? I think this can help us a lot, Acting like a stockholder.
If grinding, where is the best place including old raiding. BT turns out a lot of gold for 5 80’s
If doing dailies, what dailies are they highest gold per hour?
Professions - is there one or two above and beyond the rest for making gold
Auctioneer - how do i make it work better. it seems the numbers fluctuate and updates make it worst at times. histories seem inaccurate at times, is it the preloaded database set for all realm avg as opposed to actual realm. is there a way to get realm history only. My question is there an autioneer guide and/or how can I learn more about how to use autioneer? at times i just become frustrated with it, though yes, i always use it
I always seem to find it hard to spot the right thing to sell, I end up spending more grabbing the wrong items and then find myself loosing out more than I make, how do you find the items worth buying and selling that will make some real gold? I want to be able to enjoy the game more without having to spend hours trying to earn gold so I can just cover the cost of the items I need for raiding.
I have alchemy wich i leveled for the transmute master, witch will increase the number of epic gems, i got alot of rare jems and i plan making transmute as much as possible. Is after that worth to farm new gems or just waaay better to buy them from the AH. Also what price should i post my cut gems?
What is the best profession for making gold ? Except for herb, skin and mining….
On a heavily populated server like mine (Ravencrest EU), how do you play the auction house effectively, without being repeatedly undercut for prices by other people doing the same thing?
Youspeak about working out what people really will pay for things and you earn to work this out,how do you do this…
Hi Jon i’ve been playing wow for about 3 years now. i have some gold but not massive like you, i try to do some AH profit but how can i look to see what items are the most interesting to start a pipeline like you say?
What is the way to start buying AH stuff to create your pipeline and how can i be sure it’ll work ?How can i know what people want to buy and if a new expansion comes out do i have to start all over from fresh ?
yours Ronny and thx for all the info so far
Hey Jon, first off I would like to say thank you. Although I haven’t seen how far your guide can take me, the previews have given me more information than another gold making guides I have. Like the whole undercutting the competition myth.
Any ways, here’s the question(s) I have,
I’ve been looking for pipeline items but everything I look up is always priced high, always. So I was just wondering where should I look for an item that can be used in a such a manner. Also, right now my main is rather broke and needs help getting his money back up. I was wondering what items should/would some one with no money or a new player want to choose from?
OK nice vids but i really want to be 1 of those 0.1% of people to make that gold!!! I just got my epic flyer with 42 gold to spare at least 10g on each charecter,main lvl 62 bacnk charecter has over 300 and i havent used auctioneer yet!!!! SOOOOOOO which type of player am i??? please help me find the auctioneer(BEST). thx
Is their a trick to this whole thing that I am missing?? Is it a combination of things necessary to make the 1000 a day gold??
Are there any suggestions you can make regarding the efficiency of buying/selling vs dailies/grinding/profits from professions. Buying and selling seems to require hours of research. Let alone the time it takes to acquire the goods you want to sell; providing you know exactly what to sell for the best profits. It only takes a few hours to make 300+ gold from my dailies/and professions with no research needed or spending more than a few minutes in the ah.
Thank you for your video’s, they have been a good starting place for me to look into making more gold more efficiently.
I play on one realm at the moment and get by but not with the luxury items that you describe in your preview, i wld like to be able to afford them and have started looking into the pipeline items in my server, and i was wondering is there any way to find out the current pipeline goods on any server at any time
thanx for the informative videos

Hi Jon, I’ve been playing since closed beta and I have used other guides in the past, most other players don’t have as many high level characters with high level professions so this question really hasn’t been answered in other guides, but I’m torn on thinking on a mindset of thinking outside of the box, whether if it’s profitable or not.
Often times other guides talk about converting items lets say buying crystallized earth and making it a into eternal earth. This is the simple way of conversion, but for people like me who have many professions, I’m thinking about conversions from one profession to another, lets say, for example, since I’m a tailor, that infinite dust and frostweave cloth are cheap on the; auction house, i buy them, is it more profitable to sell them at a later date at a higher price or is it better to take these items, combine them and create bolts of imbued frostweave?
Not many other guides go deep into this kind of thinking, mainly because most people want to make gold fast without high level toons and leveling time consuming professions. But for people like me who have many high level professions, is there big profit to in doing this, and is there other ways to make big profit with many characters with many professions?
Thank you for your preview videos, I appreciate what you are doing, they’ve been tremendously helpful.
Thanks,
Clifford
What is the most lucrative profession, or profession combo, and how can I be most efficient with this profession(s).
What about cross faction trading? Do your guides cover this technique for making gold?
Whats the best itmes to sell?
Arctic Fur. Orbs, bars….ect?
What would be better for making money?
Doing all 25 dailies or, Mining somewhere to get saronite and titanium, and also making titansteel bars
What is the easiest item to grind and the most cost effective item to sell in the AH. I’m talking like buying at 1s and selling for 100g.
I have loved your videos and they have really helped (although I admit I have not done them to the fullest extent). My question has to do about constant undercutters. I use yor tactics about trying to keep prices high by matching the price and lowering the bid, and that works in general. Where I have a problem is when a barrage of people constantly undercut by MASSIVE amounts. Generally I use this as a buying opportunnity, but when they dump tons and tons, I run out of space and money buying, plus then I am not able to sell at my price. any suggestions?
can u explain more simple how to make gold?
i’m not that good at math and calculasions and maby there are some oders.
hey,
i’m wondering.
with what addons do u milk the AH?
and what is the highest gold u ever got? spread on several accs but on one server?
cya
Are there other methods to use to make as much gold as you??
The Blueprint seems to be based on Pipeline items. How much warehousing is needed for this? Since you’re generally waiting on prices to go high so you can sell.
Also, do you spend a lot of time waiting on prices (and buyers) to become favorable? Sometimes I wonder whether making less profit could actually increase total throughput and overall profits.

sorry for double post–
i just thought of a few more questions…
1. i know the easiest way to post/repost multiple auctions in the AH is with auctioneer and one of it’s functions… and i hate to admit it … but auctioneer is a very confusing addon for me. Is there anyway you could make a vid on how to use auctioneer to it’s fullest potential? or at least how to make auctioneer work for you (the player)?
2. Have you ever ran across someone on one of the servers that you play on who is using the Blueprint as well or is it even obvious that they are?
hello,
if we follow your methods and the items do not sell do we relist them or hold onto them until the market settles down? I see you have made vast amount of gold, but how much is lost due to fact that some things do not sell, and do you always put a bye out price. Also is best to let your banker be in hos own guild if possible to store all the items
thanks

I try to put my proffs to the best possible use that i can think of. i make jewelry and sell it for a proffit or mine up ore and sell them. the problem is no one seems to be buying. what am i doing wrong? What should i be doing with my proffs to get results?
Hey, I posted the first question (GO ME!)but I have just thought of a new one,
For a level 80, with say 500g (and is a pally, and is awesome - me in a nutshell!) what do you think would be the best thing to Choose for Me to get into the thousands? Farming, questing, or buying/selling low level items until I build up the thousands?
Thanks for the help, love the videos. Keep em up
Jake
I have a difficult time spotting trends and determining how to extrapolate the snapshot data from Auctioneer into opportune price points at which to post auctions. Can you describe how to best configure and utilize Auctioneer for this? Many thanks in advance!
hi,jon
do you use other methods to make money or does it all have something to do with the auction house?
Hello my name is Jesper
i have some question:
i have seen your vidio abaut pipelines(a relly nice video=D) but i don`t think i heard how too find them??? maybe i joust not heard that
i now that you sayd not too daylis but i you “relly” need money aren`t it ok too do them and THEN go on AH???
i would too say your vivios are relly nice=D respect
How long does it take to amass massive amounts of gold and to dominate the market on your server? ( 1 mth 2 mths )
Have you reached the Gold Cap? if so How long did it take you to do this once you started?
I want it all… I want to reach the Gold Cap on all of my toons….. Toons with bad habits haha..
I want all the goodies……
I want to be able to give people 5K for Epic flying or help them gear, Gem & get enchants and it not even put a dent in my wallet…
Thanks for making this video and making it possible for others to make massive amounts of GOLD
I watched your vids on piplining and buying low selling high. I started off withh 200g bought a lot of cheap items selling em for profit. Sitting at around 4k g now, this from just using the scan and apraisal in auctioneer, with the 4k I though I would try piplining on some of the items show by you. Mainly titansteel bars. I bought all that were below 80% but reselling at 100% is taking a long time. Should I wait it out or undercut?
How should i play the AH (what should i buy/sell) to turn 400g into 5000g within a week or two?
i’m trying to get my epic flyer since TBC and ive done lots of daily’s and tried selling alot on ah got auctionner and are mining/jewelcrafting good professions to make money with and how do i know wich precentage item to buy and then sell and how to use bean counter never understood that i hope ill make it to the gold cap with ur guide
Hey there Jon!
First I’d like to say a big THANK YOU! for the videos that you’ve uploaded, they have helped me out alot in lately and I understand the action house a bit better. And also your “Pipelines” are awesome!
I do however have just 1 question that I’d love for it if you could reply.
I understand that prices change alot; I have been stockpiling alot of Infinite Dust and Greater Cosmic Essences over the last week (spent around 3k on these mats) as the prices have gone down; so my question is: Would you say to resell them now, or wait longer and see if the prices go back up again, even at a risk that they may decrease? Also, would you suggest to stop buying them out for now; as the prices may never go back up I’d lose out on gold, even though the prices might be going back up. They’ve currently gone to about half the price of what they used to be.
If you decide to answer this question, (or a question which relates to this in any way), it’ll be highly appreciated!
Also, thanks again for making these superb videos! I’m sure everyone here loves you for them.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Best of luck in the future mate. Thanks again!

hi i was wondering somthing…if i have max jc and max mining how much gold estimate do u tihnk i can make if i make if i farmed ore ofr 2 hrs instead of buying it?
Hello
When selling on the auction house and your competition undercuts you should you buy their auction and then sell it out at the same price you have posted?
Ashton
Do I have to use the auction house? Can I make massive amounts of gold without relying on other players to get it first?
This all sounds good, but my question is that how would you sell an item, lets say titansteel bar, if its always up on the market, being sold for lower then what you want to sell it at, and you don’t have the money to buy all of it then re-sell at your price…its great to wait and all but, like waiting for 2-5 days (re-post and new posts) for all the competition’s bars to sell isn’t really effective. this happens a lot on my server, the best items to sell (priciest; arctic fur, saronite ore/bar, ect) are always on stock….well whenever I’m on anyways. It really sucks because whenever I, lets say, price the titansteel bar at 160-180 gold, about 1 - 2 hours later theres like 5 people who undercut me for about 20-50 gold. And it’s way harder to do your guide on equips like weapons and armor.
So my question, well two questions, would be, is there a good and effective way to sell against undercutting competitions? And what’s easier to sell; popular pipeline/common items that most people will post on ah like titansteel bar/frostweave cloth, or those hard to get or rare(on ah) items like; in my server of stonemaul, mageweave cloth, goldern pearl, silk web(cloth)?
Oh and thanks for the videos, those vendor trash really helped my toon, which is on a new server, make enough gold to buy her the bags/skills she needed.
Hi. First off, I love youre videos, and if I can manage it I will be trying to get youre Guide. Now my Question:
What is the best way to get some quick “start-up” cash so that I dont start off completely broke without investing a lot of time?(e.x. get skinning and sell Light leather for some quick gold then play AH, or something else.)
Thank You very much.
I hear lots of people talk about farming items that will be in high demand during holiday events (i.e. small eggs). Is there really that much of a benefit to this as opposed to dailies/AH maneuvering? If so, which holidays are the most beneficial?
What do you do if your server’s economy becomes stable? I have researched lots of different items in the AH for the past serveral weeks and i’ve only been able to find 1 pipeline that fluctuates enough to make more than 5g each transaction.
Hi!
When I watched your vids I had this one question popping up in my head all the time.
Is this method of your easy? You said several times that all you need to do is to understand what to do, but is it easy to understand, or is it complicated gold-getting methods?
Using real world economics, your astute study of the Auction House and buying commodities makes sense. However, because of the fact that most of World of Warcrafts economy is based on the Auction House, would it be safe to assume that there is the possibility of an economic crisis (in game) if certain futures should plummet or a demand for the supply should decrease? If so, is there an alternate plan of action to take to help with potential loss? Let’s face it, there won’t be a bailout from Blizzard to anyone anytime soon.
Hi,first to tell you,I fail in my tactic alot,because the resell feature in Auctioneer can be bad,I buy everything,post with bigger price on it and then no one buys it.Also I buy a lots of glyphs,which glyphs to buy to resell and get them all sold?
Also what is the way to start huge golds as fast as possible? I would like to have chopper or something if I could get this cool guide,also
- Is it worth to skill Inscription and Enchanting?
- What is better at Jewelcrafting to make more golds? Prospecting or buying some epic gems then crafting them?
- Is combination Inscription with skinning good to make golds?
- Blacksmithing and Mining is good combination for huge golds?
Thanks in advance
Although I understand a vast majority of the tips you have been showing me through your free videos, I stil have one question or area I don’t quite understand. How do you pick up on new pipelines? Are there signs you look for? I can take a look at some items off the top of my head, but what about the ones I wouldn’t think about? How do I find those ones?
How much is too much?
When I get holiday items to sell later in the year, i always find myself buying those extra few items, and over time those extra few items always fill up my inventory and both my personal bank and Guild bank with unsellable stuff. This applies to pipelines too, i always buy a little too much and am unable to sell them later on.
How do you keep from over stocking yourself and ultimately losing money?
Hi can you teach me to make lots og gold? i really need some not even got Cold Weather and Epic flyer i have no cool stuff bad gear can you help me i REALLY need it i tryed a gold guide but it was a scam! hope i can win this dude thank you
I am a noob, only lv 25 and have 27 gold. How am I supposed to get started? what can I use for a low cost, low lv pipeline? This is really important since how is it worth it to me to buy this guide, if I can’t even start until I have a lot of gold?
Do you get really really annoyed with people asking questions that you already answered in your first three videos?
I mean.. how many times did you say “I can’t tell you what items to trade, but I can tell you how to find them”?
If I only have 5 minutes per day to focus on building WoW wealth, what is the most efficient thing I can do?
What if I have 10 minutes? 30?
Is this activity more effective every day, or would it work better every other day?
surely you have heard of monopolizing items, so firstly do you monopolize and what do you monopolize?
Hi, I’ve been playing WoW for a few years now and got few level 80’s, but i’ve never had enough money to buy even 1 epic flying mount+skill, I dont know if I’m just helpless… I’ve never had enough money to get epic gems, enchants, items etc. that I really want, at this time I have around 1400gold, but I just cant get started, I tried to play around a bit with auction house but in the end I had few hundred golds less than I started with? That’s something… I didnt even try to have the lowest price in AH or anything, but in the end I didnt get anywhere, I just cant figure out what’s the problem. HELP! Would like to get somewhere and not just stay put and wait as everyone i know get’s enough money (slowly but still) for epic mounts etc. with farming elementals, that’s not something I want to spend hours and hours a day, as I have a normal life and more important things to do in WoW also. Thanks!
I’m below the typical player when it comes to making gold. I have no idea how to use the AH and I’v been playing for 2 years. I never really needed massive gold amounts until now. I’m trying to earn money for my level 68, what’s the best item to collect and sell in the AH for my level? Can I make massive money amounts at 68?
Thank you,
mak.
Wow’s economy, like the real world economy, is an ever changing world. A buff here, an event there, a nerf over there and next thing you know the values of everything we took for granted or held in esteem change overnight. Given the propensity of a changing environment one would question the relevance of advise where the standards they are based on can change overnight. So my question is this…if it can be answered….
Out of all your techniques which ones have stood the test of time and which ones will carry me on to the future as World of Warcraft evolves as a game?
In any guide one must show the past to understand the present and a guide must be able to talk about the future so those who might be willing to invest in your product have something to look forward to.
Just 1 simple question: how do you see when an item on AH becomes a pipeline? I didn’t quite understand the video.
How do you compete against other people who are using the same method you are?
Utilizing other AH systems, I’ve run into market share issues with other people who are clearly using the same strategies I’m using.
what do you think about items that are cheap one day and expensive another day e.g. Flasks and food on raid days?
how do i find new items to play the auction house with?
from simply watching the videos on this site and mayle winter’s auction mastery sight i can merchant like a pro, well, i could if i could find items, so how do i find new items too merch?
Hey mate! I have few questions:
First, is it worth buying the mats off ah to make Random Darkmoon cards in order to get Nobles deck?
2: Which professions are the most profitable?
3: Do you think that you can earn alot of gold if you have like 4-5k spare and just buy all the Arctic furs in the action house and then resell all of them for 150g/piece(u got them for 50-130g/piece) and that way control the Arctic fur market?
4: I have like 9k gold but still i don’t think this is enough for me+ i made this 9k with a lot of hard work like days and weeks and weeks… Tell me where, how, when, in what to invest that gold to make a huuuuge profit out of it. As John Shadegg said:
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. ”
i have 3 questions 1) how do we know this is for real and u aren’t actually just buying gold from gold sellers? 2) if u r for real how long will it take to amass the wealth of max gold capacity 3) what do u says about dailies vs AH using how much quicker can u earn gold by using the AH than by doing 25 dailies everyday
the one thing i have always asked myself (just to let u know ive had some experience on playing the auction house from another guide) is HOW DO THESE GUYS EARN TONS? having tried out the other AH guide i still dont understand how i seem to only be making the few 100-200 gold while others have achieved 10k in a week!!
Im really interested in the way people say ‘homing in on BIG deals’. i think this is a skill i am still yet to develop and as you say in ur preview videos, ‘an important skill is to be able to make the MOST profit, not just the amount you can get from undercutting etc.’ i think this is a skill in which i am lacking some general knowledge and it would be awesome if somehow i would find a guide that would take me step by step into making my first 1000 gold and introducing me in the most understandable way to all the techniques the BIG PROS use. i know that this can extremely hard as a realms economy is an ever changing thing, but still, not neccessarily tell me what to but etc. but to just gimme an insight into the making of your first few 1k gold.
so, after this, the question should be:
How come i can only earn so much when so many people that have only even seen the preview videos of the guide i use still manage to earn thousands whilst im stuck with the measly 100-200 gold?
What is the most profitable item and/or specific strategy you use to make tons of gold?
i.e. “I think Arctic Fur reselling is the most profitable way to make gold”
Thanks
How many gold opportunities re there in older goods? e.g. Essence of Fire. And how can you take advantage of players leveling alts through these levels?
Hello,
I have a few questions but I will nail it down to one. If your strategy your “pipeline” involves buying when the current market value, is at a lower amount then what you know it will climb to in the future; isn’t this just the old style of buying low and selling high? Why do you need to dress it up? is it because you want to stump people, making them buy your guide or do you do something different from all the ways we already make money?
This may sound like I am flaming but i truly do want to know.
Howdy,
Was wondering if you can do a 0g-1000g video (or 0g-10,000g even) on exactly how you earned each gold.. Show us step by steps on how to start small, and how to grow even further past 1000g (10,000g).
Your pipeline concept isnt too hard to understand, but applying the concept is where I become stumped. I do not know where to start, and how to grow. I have roughly 1200g combined across my three 80s, however I can never gain enough to cover the 400g/week im forced to spend due to upgrades in gear.. Good thing (getting new gear) turned bad (paying for new enchants/gems)??
If a video on your whole journey 0g-1000g (0g-10,000g) isnt possible, a video of you applying the pipeline to multiple items {or even a single item} with step by step instructions would be extremely helpful. Please and thank you, and a special note to the perfectly put together videos where ‘if i thought of a question during the video, you answered it right away’.. Almost as if you knew what I was thinking while watching it. Beautifully put together.
over my multiple characters I have roughly 4k gold at the moment, but I have no clue how to use it really effectively to add to that amount is there some strategy for finding the really low buys that are guaranteed to sell hi.
Do you think there is any point in using trade skills, for example alchemy to convert cheap herbs into elixirs, as part of your pipelines?
Or would it be better just to focus your attention solely on Auction Reselling and keeping the gold on a dedicated alt such as yourself?
Sincerely Peter
I was wondering if you knew a good way to identify a “pipeline” item and if you account for realms having different prices and needs. I was also wondering how long you should monitor prices with auctioneer before starting to buy things up.
Am sad to say, but…..
Bad Luck follows me.
Jonathan, I believe you have the right idea, but like you said in first preview video, only some people are willing to work a plan.
Thank you for showing your idea.
Fran
Hi !
I’m saw some videos of yours. They are nice, but in real life, it’s simple like that.
I could buy all underpriced stuff, and relist for the real price. In theory It should work. But what happens, is that when you relist at real price, there will always be a bunch of idiots that will again list it again at 10%, 20% of the real price… And your effort to buy low and sell high goes nowhere.
Then i end up with many returned in my mailbox… So I still can’t find a solution for that.
If you have a trick, they are not yet in your firt videos.. There is something else missing…
I hope you discover =)
thanks!
Ive tried playing the Auction House before, everytime i try i make stupid mistakes “brought a gem that gives hit rating and mana per 5 secs, who needs both?” and realised too late no one would want it, and even if they did want it i would have only made a 30G profit, is there some way to garantee larger profits or at least some addon to warn you they dont sell well?
Sincerely Ben.
My biggest problem with playing the auction house is buying items that don’t really sell. Even if there are a ton of them up and I undercut by a gold or two, they still don’t sell. I’ve heard people say buy enchanting items and sell them low but when I’ve tried that it’s never worked. So I guess my question is kind of two questions in one: How do you decide what items to buy and resell and when do you put them up in the auction house to resell them?
Thanks
-Sean
When you decide to look for new products to do pipelines with how do you decide what to pick and how long do you study the item before you decide if it is worth setting up in a pipeline?
How much is your guide?
How do i determine what to use as a pipeline on my realm?
Is there and farming in your guide or is it all pipelines?
How did you come up with this method?
I just made a new guy but hes an ally and my main is a horde so i cant send him any money + i dont have enough to buy him upgrades
Hi Jon,
My question is how do you use actioneer to sift through your pipelines quickly and or find new pipelines? How do you know what to look for? And also, how long does it take to gain the experience needed to truly master the market, like knowing how much stuff is really worth, will your blueprint teach me those skills?
Hi Jon,
I’ve never really tried out any of the large gold guides, I’ve only tried to utilize tips people give about general gold making. Having a decent amount of gold to support my raiding needs, I haven’t felt a pressing need to devote too much time trying to figure out how to make the general buy low sell high methods to work, and I’ve generally given up pretty soon when I haven’t had any noticable results.
What I wonder is, how long would you say it would take for someone using your method for the first time to identify a satisfying number of pipelines and start profiting from them enough to feel it in their wallet?
And what would you say an average profit could be given different amounts of invested time and start-up capital?
Given the answer to these questions, I believe people like myself, who want know when they are to expect results, will feel more secure in using your guide.
Hey Jon,
i’ve been trying to get gold in wow from playing the AH, but i cant buy on things like arctic fur and stuff, because of all the farmers and whatnot, which, every time i try to make like 20g off of, they will undercut me again and again. also, i don’t see how your buying things so low, like the arctic fur in one of the first videos, and still manage to sell for gigantic profits.
could you please help me out.
- Kieran
P.S, im really thinking about grabbing your gold guide if i can send you a private message somehow.
cheers
How long should I post my auctions? 12h? 48h? The long-term fees are hefty, but I don’t like being at the AH refreshing auctions all the time.
I’m 51 years old a 100% serviced-connected disabled veteran of the U.S. Navy and I understand the principle of buy low sell high in the auction house. I have several characters who collect different items, mining, herbs, skins and sell the raw and refined or finished products: ie clothes. Is it easier to keep a character to just run the auctions as it appears from video 3 or just try to get everyone in to buy and sell? In addition how much gold do you feel a player needs to really make the 10k gold a week with fees and prides paid for really good buys to resell?
How will I find out, which the good selling items are once my well known articles are down in prices?
Been trying to buy low sell high for the past 6 months with no real success. Only managed to gain around 1.5k which is terrible considering your guide will show me how I can makes upwards of 10k a week :O. My question is what items do I need to keep track of in the auction house to gain massive amounts of gold or do I need some specific proffesion to make the massives amount of gold?
Cheers
I been playing wow for two years and bought other gold making books I try the auction house and I always have my stuff being returned. when I call for help I get no responce. what make your book so differnt than the others I bought?
When farming ore is it better to sell just the ore or to put into bars? Or do some of both?
After keeping track of your free preview videos I feel I have begin to move the right way in terms of my gold making. I owe my success to the Pipelining preview video due to this giving me the best results. After the video I kept track of a few of your examples such as titansteel bars and managed to make 300g profit that week just by reselling them for around 50g extra. My question for you is how do you determine what a good pipeline to use is on a server. Do I need to track the item in the auction house for a few weeks to determine the selling patterns or is there some another method I am not aware of?
I have used Jonathans method’s for the last couple years and I will tell you they work but alot depends on your servers economy. Start slow and learn from his video’s, they have great information. My question is I have a Horde Bank alt at Booty Bay but I have never played a Alliance character. How do I know if the itmes I am buying are not just jacked up junk and may not be worth selling on my AH.
in your latest video you talk about buying vendor items and selling them for a massive profit.
now alot of the mods i have installed, show on the tooltip what something is available from the vendor for and where that vendor is.
how do you “sell high” to people with that information? Are you running under the assumption that most people only have AH history information?
So what do you think grind a you level to get gol dfrom the quests or go to the AH with a bank alt and use the money you get from questing. Can you really do what all other guides claim they can buy making 500g an hour as a level 1?
jon.The question i really want the answer to is how on god name did u ever figure out this buleprint it is simply excllent the information is excllent the advice works .so i wish to know how you ever mad this absoluty amazing guide buleprint
Tony,your folllower.
i have one lvl 80 herbalism/elixir master aichemist i do use accutioneer but i don’t know how to use it effectively. so my question is how to use this addon effectively and make gold in the short amount time you say it can be done? i need/want my epic flying. lol thank you for your help.
How do you pick your pipelines? and how much time do you spend researching which pipelines to go after? With so many items in game, it seems almost impossible to identify the good pipelines on each server.
How is your gold guide specifically better than all the competition when A) It is more expensive and B) It seems to use similar methods.
I want to see some proof and free would be wonderful
Also, How can auctioneer be used to make such good profit at only 1 hour a day?
What items should i buy if i have around 1000 Gold to earn more gold? And should i sell my ores or make them bars? I don’t know this stuff…i would want that guide
i was just wondering witch profesions are the best i have two toons one with tailering and enchant the other has minning and not sure w makeing guids. i ave brougat profesion to put with it to make money.and thanks heaps for your videos. i a couple and dont think much of them thay were hard to work out butwas making a reasenbale amount of money but the info u gave me should help me make more.thanks to your pipe line methed.plus your gold blue print is much easer to get your head around than other gold guides.i ahve two and thay confuse me with there methed.your way is much better.
thnks heaps
Hey been watching your video’s and have a question for you.
How do you go about finding which items are the best to buy and sell to make a decent profit, and are there any items that you would spend time to go out and farm yourself.
i am about to make lvl 80, i noticed on one of your vids there was a column on the Ah screen on the far right that gave info on the current demand of the item, where did you get this or is it part of the AH screen?
is there data at the AH that gives you insight as to what items to buy low and then get a good return on when you sell?
do you farm and stockpile items to sell at AH?
once an item moves below a good selling price do you just dump them for whatever price you can or do you stockpile them till price moves back into a good range?
oh i see my bad hadn’t received the 3rd video yet now i see about identifying pipelines
By what im getting from your preview videos i buy the lower priced items and resell them for more but if people keep undercutting me how will i ever sell my item
its seems all very nice in your site but if i buy something for 100 and post for 140 ideally ill make 40g (Assuming no ah cut) but if people keep undercuting my 14 and post for 100 what was thepint of wasting money in the 1st place?
in my last reply at the end where i say `mad`i ment made the blueprint because if i could i would like to help and try to improve it if possiable.
i’ve noticed that on the AH people are constantly undercutting prices sometimes by large ammounts 5g and more If i undercut it will only be by 1 copper. If i post items at a high price how will it sell as there are always items posted at a lower price? Any help will be appreciated
If you could only give one gold making tip what would it be?
Why do some people put cheap trash items on the AH for hundreds of gold? Just to confuse Auctioneer? To catch people who aren’t paying attention? It’s really confusing to find trash items at hundreds of gold but according to auctioneer I’d still make a profit if i bought and sold for hundreds more.
Is it just a case of following your system and finding pipeline items over time?
Hi, firstly, thank you heaps for your preview guides, whilst using them I have already managed to make a steady 1000g. It is much appreciated!
I have a quick question though, it often seems that selling an item for its “true” price as you state in your videos, will not sell it at all. I can’t understand how an item will sell if you DON’T undercut. Surely people would only buy the cheapest one available on the AH. So why is it that you can sell items for MORE gold than this? An explanation to this would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance,
Hey Jon,
I have never used a Gold Guide, and am just recently looking into yours. In your opinion, what is the most important thing about making Gold that you can identify?
And, What sets your Guide away from all the rest? How can your guide help us make gold, instead of other guides?
Thanks!
In your videos (the ones I’ve seen anyway) you repeatedly mention the examples are on a new server. How do the techniques you describe ( such as the Brilliant Smallfish item) perform on older, established servers? My sever is an older one, less prone to fluctuation and with a smaller percentage of true new players.
Can you expand on the reason why economies are different on different servers? If we are all playing the same game, why do certain pipelines work on one server but do not work on another server? Also, what is the most efficient way to determine what are the best 5 to 10 pipelines on the server you are playing on?
I really need this guide im lvl 80 no epic no dual spec and owe loans plz pick me ill even help advertise

I have looked at many gold guides and I agree with you that some of them are copies of each other. Is your system based totally on “farming” the auction house? How do your level 1 toons work to make gold?
1) Lets say i got a Titansteel Bar up on AH for 180g and thats the first one up, and i leave it for a day or so and people under cut it say like by 20g-40g should i leave it there or take it out and wait until the price comes up?
2) How much gold should i spend on buying and then re-selling?
3)Should i take note of the lowest / highest price of the items that I am going to pipeline for my server?
4)Should i ever go out and farm, say saronite ore and then sell it for the highest amount possible?
5)UnderCutting…… Should i?
Do you find that it is better to have a profession or not?
How do you always get mats for dirt cheap prices? Like in your pipeline video you bought arctic fur for 15g!!!! It seems like everytime I buy something that auctioneer says is a good deal, the next day it’s much cheaper for instance I bought some infinite dust for 3g 50s thinkin I’d make some money as it normally sells for 6ish gold, the next day the price was down at 3g, and hasn’t rosin above 3g 75s since…. Plz help!!!!!!
I’ve been an active AH seller/player for over a year, and I have three questions.
First, I’ve come across a niche question concerning common vanity pets (snakes, cats, etc). Typically, I will put up one to two at a time. The upper range is 25g. I would rather sell fewer at higher prices but less frequently.
Recently I came across a player who came onto my home server to help out his buddies, and he would sell the pets for 10g each listing 5 or more at a time. His theory was that 20g and up was “robbery” and that for 10g, players who had alts etc. would be more likely to buy them pets too.
So the question is to do with thresholds. Have you ever played with balancing the volume of sales vs the amount you charge for each item. (This applies to vanity items and not pipeline items). For example, I can sell 10-20 pets per week at 20-25g. But would I be able to sell more pets if each pet was sold for less, and overall, would I earn more money. Perhaps this is a more relevant question for an older server where new accounts cannot be created and there are many veteran players.
As a secondary question, I have discovered a potentially interesting item to play with. It’s a faction specific recipe (Recipe: Kaldorei Spider Kabob) of which I can get high amounts of. I am doing the recruit a friend thing, and I can buy the items required to complete the quest (small spider legs) for very little. I ship them to a toon near the questgiver, and I create a new character on my recruited account. I summon him using the recruit a freind summon, and have him complete the quest. I then ship of the recipe to my ah toon and from there it goes cross faction. I can stockpile hundreds of this recipe over the duration of the recruit a friend. However, so far I’ve only been able to sell a few for 200g max. I’m not sure if this is worth my time. Only completionists seem interested in the recipe, and it is a very slow seller. This can also be done with the moongraze tenderloin recipe from a Dranei quest.
My final question is this: have you ever tried to completely control the market for a particular item. I’ve seen players do it with (I’m guessing) little success. For instance, one player on the horde side bought up all the white kittens and re-listed them for 500g each. I only had one kitten up, which this player bought. Of course I had many more in my bags. I immediately put another one up at a threshold price. Is it possible to dominate the market of a particular item? Will buying it up and inflating prices eventually backfire since others will always underbid you? I think this is only possible with high volume items that have become less readily available such as wool cloth or mageweave cloth. I think selling volumes are too high for times like infinite dust, for example.
Would appreciate any comments.
Thanks

ok my professions r herbilism and alchemy and im always wondering if i should b selling the herbs or making flasks from them (elixir master). but the only problem is with making flasks i have no idea whether its gonna proc or not which is a bit annoying. its annoying cause i want to make as much profit as i can from my items (like everyone) but its unpredictable whether it will proc or not like it can proc for 10 flasks n thats a huge profit but it can also only make 2 which is shit. and another thing is seeing my an alchemist im wondering if i should buy flasks for raid/ buy the mats to make flasks and make em/ farm the mats and make the flasks. for the 3rd option i could sell mats then buy falsks or something so yeh just curious
hey just another question forgot to ask this doesnt have much to do about this competition but yeh can u plz show me how to use auctioneer in a future video or one of those addons like i real step by step instruction on how to use it cause yeh everyone says you need it to dominate the ah i’ve used it once and i was completely confused so yeh plz help
What are some of the nuances of the auctioneer add on that are the most overlooked and how do you use them?
Does buying limeted supply vendor patternes and recipies really make enough gold to warrant parking an alt there?
How do you know what to buy and when to post it?
Hi, Jonathan.
I’ve bought gold guides in the past, including Warcraft Millionaire. I’ve tried to use the information that these guys post, but as you’ve said, some of it tells you how to work the auction house, and of course tells you where you can go out and farm for stuff too. I agree with you….I would like to just sit at the auction house itself and know what I need to do with pipelining….so far yours seems to actually hit the nail on the head and more precisely than the others guides I have. You said it in your videos so far….gold making should be fun; it shouldn’t feel like work. If I could buy your guide right this minute, with the bonuses, I would….I’m just not able to at the moment. When I saw you were offering a chance to win it for free…I told myself that I would have to be crazy not to take a chance at winning it.
I plan to eventually get it, because it is exactly the type of information I’ve been looking for….how to make maximum use of my time while learning how to make tons of money just using the auction house, and to have fun while doing it.
Thanks!
LOL….after saying all that, I realized that I never asked you a question.
What addons, if any, are the best to use on the Auction House for getting the information that you need to make the best decision on what to buy and sell?
I have used a lot of your tips and have had a lot of success for the most part. The main issue i have run into is people on my server seem to have nothing better to do and farm everything and simply undercut any auction i try to relist. My question is would it be wise to keep buying out any good priced auction and stockpile the items for later use or leave it alone. I have tried finding multiple items but everything seems to get undercut majorly.
Is it for real?
With some add-on being very complex, which add-ons do you suggest & what would be your recommended way to set them up to obtain the most use out of them?
Is it better to sell high-end crafting items (titansteel, tailoring cloths, heavy borean leather) right after a major patch comes out and be ahead of the competition, or wait a few weeks when more players get the patterns and crafters are more readily available (and risk more competition)?
I have been reading some of your gold making guides, some for the auction house and some other ones. I am having a hard time using the tools I have learned because there are just way too many people farming gold on my server. How can I do what I need to do to make gold when so many people are doing it?
I have been playing on that server for over a year and a half. I figured out some tricks of making gold myself in the auction house, but as time went by, the Auction house has become clogged with gold farmers.
Moving to a new server is not an option. All my friends play on this server.
how do you know when to give up selling an item in AH?
or the best time to sell specific items.
I tried selling bracers from Valor emblems, some sold right away, but others, well i just put them in the guild bank ;o)
Howdy Jon,
You have just finished your session at the AH and now its time to play and enjoy the game. As you later killed an npc, you happen to come across a blue or epic item. You then later decide to sell it on AH but when you searched for the same item or even a similar stat one, you find nothing. My question: How do you know what to sell it for?
MASSIVE thanks Jon! Love your work.
Hey Jon, I’ve been watching your videos and they’ve been really helpful for my understanding of the auction house. However, on my server, the AH is kinda screwed up, for example Arctic Fur is over 100g per and there’s hardly any of it on the AH (lack of skinners perhaps) and Titanium Bars are really cheap as well.
So my main question is this, what are the kinds of items you have found most effective for buying low and selling high.
Also, seeing as I’m a JC and a Miner, should I be prospecting all my ore or putting it on the market?
Hey, I have been watching your preview videos and they have been a great help in my fight to win in the auction house. I was just wondering though, if you have any tips on playing the auction house on LOW population servers with very weird auction houses. Or more on controlling .
the auction house to eliminate the uninformed posters.
Anyways excited to see any thoughts or tips on this subject.
Thanks for everything,
Graham
Hi Jon,
I was wondering have you tried your gold making guide on very high popular servers and did it work or did it work better, I’m on Blackrock Horde and It’s one of the most full servers in the US.
I really hope it does and very looking forward to your 3.0 guide!
Also I wanted to add this seems like its going to be the best guide ever!! even the preview vid’s i’ve started to make gold!
What is the best time in the week to buy and sell? If I had to guess, the prices are usualyy more inflated during the week and diminished on the weekend, so buying on the weekend seems like the best time. However, the fact that more people play on the weekend should theoretically mean that more people are buying stuff from the AH and so by that logic you should sell on the weekend. So how do you know when to sell? Also, how can you easily spot a good pipeline on your server? Is it through looking about the AH or is there a really easy way? Thanks for the videos, they were great.
Dane
Some pretty good questions up here, and here is mine for you to discuss…
I would like for you to mention ‘when’ the best time is to look for certain types of items. For example, is there a certain day that flasks would sell really well (Tues. & Thur for example), or certain foods for raiders? If on the weekend I can get it cheap, then sell it on certain ‘known’ days, that would be worth buying and holding onto for those specific weekly occurances.
Do you have to start off on a new server to use this? I’ve had my account since WoW came out and I have the max amount of characters on my server. I am already torn on whether I should delete any to get ready for Cataclysm. I noticed from reviews of your guide that you use 6 alts just for your system.
I like the aspect of having enough gold to just give it away to friends. I play with family and irl friends and usually end up giving them the gold they need to get ahead…to my own detriment, usually.
hey man great videos btw, anyways what days are pipeline items the best day to sell and why? and how can you control the market when there is so much competition on the AH for one item.
I know from the first 2 preview videos that you make a lot of gold just from the AH. Massive amounts.
Do you ever spend anytime farming, or did you before you had the capital and experience to play the AH?
If so, do are there any specific types of items you looked for? (Cloth, meat, or just a group of random stuff)
In other guides there are different strategies where you farm a group for a certain item. Is this part of the blueprint, or does it not bring in enough gold/per hour?
Thank You ,
James
When your playing the AH what items make you the most gold?
Is it better to play on the AH with a bank alt or should you just play on the AH with your main?
When would be the best time to play on the ah?
When’s the best time to post items on the AH?
Sincerely
Arjun
Hi Jon,
I asked a question about High population severs and I just watched you newest preview video and it seems you already answered it, wich is awesome.
Now I have a new question in your last vid (preview#3, pipelines) I have no doubt you can make 10k or even more gold with pipelines, but was wondering how much did you have to spend to make that much and if you have a low gold count like 500 gold are you limited to not making much with pipelines ( as you have told us there are more was of making gold) or can you make tons of gold with just that much.
In your videos you keep stressing “Pipelines” I am wondering how you go about determining the individual pipelines and analyze them for profitability?
1. How do u make gold enchaining and tailoring?
2. should i turn ore into bars or sell as ore?
3. does jewel crafting make money?
I’ve been playing around in the AH for awhile now with the auctioneer addon. I make about 200-300 gold a day from my enchanting and JC, though this process takes me well over an hour. I look through items on the AH though my server is a high population server and competition is very steep for almost every item I look at.
My question is how do i get around competition? You mentioned simply changing pipelines when competition arises though whenever i find an item that seems profitable within minutes it seems someone has undercut me, is there a way around this or should i select items that sell at such a high volume that my auctions will almost always sell?
Hello, I am returning to WoW after 6 months off and before that I gave my gold to my friend. I don’t have an epic flyer, my mining is ~300 and I have an 80. I know I could earn an initial amount doing dailies and then trading but I can only play ~15mins a day (average). Could you assist me in designing a plan too earn large amounts of gold in relatively small amounts of time?
Thanks for the info Jon!
A poor canuck wants to know -
How can you use auctioneer to discover which are the pipeline items on your server? Do I need further addons?
How big of an influence are professions to making real gold profit? I know a lot of guides tell you to go for herb/mining to make a lot of gold; and I’m sure that you make more gold if you use your professions than if you don’t. But I just wonder how big of an impact they really make to a serious gold earner.
I have tried to farm items that people demand but it just takes a lot of time and now i refuse to farm anything. I cant get enough gold to get any gear enhancements so i do dungeons but almost no one is in LFG.And questing is sometimes getting me mad so I dont know what to do.What shall I do?
Ive understood everything so far in the blueprint but the thing is what if i start off with low amounts of gold and i try to do your way but i fail also? ive gotten auctioneer addon and auctionator addon and ive been trying for a week now and nothing is really selling, dont know why im using the cooking recipes that you showed aswell but selling really slowly, could it be the bad of the server or am i doing stuff wrong?
Thanks
So here´s a question/challenge.
I play a Horde character in Ragnaros. Now I have been poking and prodding around forums and guides and I can say that the economy of Ragnaros is very strange. Prices refuse to change, items that require farming are very rare, almost as if people refuse to gather them. Arctic fur can sell for 160-200 a PIECE and people seem to not undercut each other. Raid days have no effect on raid items (flasks and whatnot) so, how do you “work” these type of servers? Is it even possible to “play the AH” here?
I have enjoyed your videos. they are very informative and have given me some ideas to improe my own gold making techniques. I want to take my gold making to the next lvl. Currently I can make 1000-1500 gold per week fairly easily, but as you know,it spends as fast as it comes in almost. My questions are these: 1. What craftable items would you suggest to keep an eye out for? I currently make quite a bit of gold doing this with just mining and blacksmithing, but would like to expand that with some other professions. Farming areas for the best drops in conjunction with dailies/quests/instances? I typically try to go through areas I know to have good drop rates for gear/cloth/items etc. enroute to instances and dailies. Just wondering what areas/instances to quickly maximize time and potential profit. Finally, What times of the day (server time) have you found to be the best for scanning the AH to buy items at the lowest prices? I know it depends on the sever. Just wondering if you could provide a general/broad overview of the subject. Thank you for your time.
Brian
i am not new to the game by any means, however i have never had more than 3500g in my pocket. right now i use gathermate and routes to mine saronite and auctionator to undercut 3% this takes hours for not even 1000g where is my problem?
why cant i make money after hours of hunting ore?
i usually undercut 3-5% why dont my auctions sell?
I make very good use of the AH, every day i scan through it looking for good buys, i just have one question. I dont know how to go about looking through weapons and armor pieces. Im just not sure how big they are on the re-sell scale. I would like to know more imformation on what type to look at and where and when to buy and re-sell.
Would like nothing more then to hear back from you with any information you are willing to give.
where best place to mine fel,gold,and high meteal and good gems?
Hi, So here is my questions,
How can you keep on making profit in the ah when people keep undercutting you. i posted an auction for 50g and logged off next time i logged on the price droped to 30g T_T
Hi Jon,
I’ve been following your tips for a while now through Secret Warcraft, and want to say thanks for all your awesome work. I have made some nice profits with your tactics, but my question is; Is cross faction trading a necessary pipeline, or can the move from “Advanced Player” to “Gold Master” be made strictly on one faction?
Thanks again,
Gordon
Hey, I have just recently rolled a new character. A level 1 night elf hunter. One thing I never understand is that how can people at level 1 make money. I have a level 53 Belfie paladin on another realm and I cant even afford my epic mount. And watching your second video showing that small fish recipe just blew my eyes out of there sockets. Everyone tells me you can make money at 1 but they don’t tell me how. I am so used to creating acounts on the same realm and have my pally mail over some gold to them. But now since I wanna start rolling on the alliance side on a different server. I don’t know how to make any money any more. Since everything changes when you switch from horde to alliance. Th reason how my paladin got so much money is because when I was level 6 I was given 60g by my best friend who now unfortunately quit. Please help =(
Heyy,
so I have been playing this game for many years now and have epic flying mounts on both of my level 80s and almost 2kg on a level 79 so i have a decent amount of gold. but i got all my gold by completing every quest i could and doing dailies which I think is boring and not the way I want to enjoy the game. I have tried the auction house a few times and I did what you have said is the wrong thing to do, undercut. I use most of my gold to level up profession which is very expensive so gold goes fast. I know theres no item that goes for a certain price on every realm because all realm economies are different but i want to know how do you find things that will sell. how can you tell if an item is in demand on each realm and how do you find what prices people are willing to pay for it?
Thanks.
Jonathan, I’ve been with this guide for.. well i have been with you since the beginning. Check that if you can, Back onto topic i have watched all of your videos and i have a very basic idea of gold making and the auction house. But seeing as my parents would never let me buy your guide thinking it was a scam or a cheat. I have been forced to be limited to your videos which are very good but i believe only a fraction of what the guide offers. I have been in many a contest to win a blueprint but have failed. So i half-heartdly began writing this response: So here are my questions
. What Ore To Mine And Where?
. Best Most Valuable Mat Farming Area?
. I Have 0g And I Am Level 1, How Do I Get Into Glyph Merching?
. Do I Undercut By 3%-5% or 3%-4%?
. What Is The Fastest Way To Level Up Leather Working and Make Profit On The Way?
. Where Is The Most Profitable Fishing Area?
. If I Had To Choose Between Fishing or Mining, Which One Is More Profitable?
. Auctionire Is Very Valuable I Know, But Is There Better?

Hi
In all honesty is there any money to be made in crafting professions, I know its fun trying to level them up to 450,but can I trully make any money with them. If so which professions and at what level and what items. Or should i just stick to gethering ?
What is it about your guide, that’s so different from others? I’ve seen your previews so far but honestly, “Gold making” and “leveling” guides are now a dime a dozen.
I have trusted many gold making guides before and I have had no success with making what they say I should be making. If I would purchase this and I do not start to see me making massive amounts of gold like you promise am i able to get a complete refund of my money?
Considering the amount of people who want to skip through the low levels and get into the meat of raiding, is it wise to have a gathering alt(s) and have them sit in the low level areas?
(i.e. gather and resell thorium, netherweave, rep items from Vanilla or BC content)
I have tried more than a few gold makeing sights most are very vag at what they tell you. how about the auction house ? personal settings and a video on how to use them. the auction house may be old hat to you but to the rest of us or should i say i myself could use a little help in that area, its something i wouldn’t mind paying for.. thanks randy
Hi there nice video’s so far, my questions are more about getting set for using things like MGB since at the moment i dont use any.
How long would you reccomend scaning the AH with auctioneer before applying things such as the MGB ? surely you cannot rely on info from just 1 or 2 scans as the price could be far off the actual sales.
My main is a tankadin with JC and Enchanting would your guide have details inside to take advantage of these professions ? i know that i could go mass pull and farm area’s but thats not really using the AH but surely using professions with addition to “pipelines” or even being the end product used in the pipeline would increase the effectiveness of MGB ?
im not sure i have never used a gold making guide due to the relatively high sale prices many have and although i understand the time and effort put into them i am sceptical to spend $60 on something that after a week or so simply stops working due to others in the server adapting to what i impliment
What is the best advice you can give us that we would benefit the most from in making high amounts of gold.
How can you be certain that what you price is what other players will pay for it? Or is it just trial and error?
Im a new player, and therefore understand little about the AH and im leveling fast but dont have the money for new armour as I progress. my question is, for a new player what is the best way to use the auction house to get gold for a low level player?
what is the best pipeline and have most chances to work from ur experience??? and i have another question. Can you come play at frostmane and give me litle tip now and there…
Hey, just a quick question in regards to pipelines, i already make quite a bit of gold in other ways, but not as fast or as streamlined as you seem to. Um
- Is it a good idea to leave characters to check vendors for possible valuable items,
-How many pipelines do u think should be active before it becomes to much,
-What are the different bits of Auctioneer, because sometimes they confuse me
Um thats it if u could perhaps answer one or 2 of those questions that would be great
thanks mate
Hi!
I am watching your videos with interest and already tried doing some stuff.
My question is:
Should the bidvalue always be close to the buyout value? Else I see a potential risk in people bidding on the item if there is not long time left and winning it for alot less.
Time Management Question:
Based on the level of the player, how much time is needed to adequately generate gold in order to be equipped with top-notch gear?
Does the time increase or decrease with level?
I’m looking for the “Sweet Spot”!
McBaine
I wold like to know the addon that you use to find the best Gold making items in the AH.
Do you look for the lowest prices of any item or do you look for sertan items
With the pipeline should i have a low lvl character hang out at the AH to do all the buying and selling.
Are you saying we don’t need to farm and we shouldn’t
Jon, is there a way to transfer gold between factions?
Sometimes there is not much traffic in the joint auction houses.
Pipline is this an addon? or an idea on how to look for items better.
How do I find pipelines? (also low level ones)
Hi Jon,
My question is as an herb/alch (transmutation master)
How can I make the most gold from these professions.
And about the pipelines whats the most important aspect of this method. I’m new to playing the AH and any tips would be appreciated.
thank you for your vids, they rock.
Where is the best place to grind gold? (high lvl/low lvl)
What are the best AddOns for AH grinding?
What are the best AddOns for grinding?
vids are brill. off to a great start already, couple of questions from me. would you recommend trading in lots of ‘cheaper’ items to start with or going for the middle priced items. when you’ve made enough money is it worth switching to epics and rare items or stick with the items you started with.
Hi my question is this i like to sell all my stuff on the auction house i buy at the lowest prices i can and sell and yet u say u can buy arctic fur at 15g each how is this is there certain points of the week i watch this item consistently and not once have i seen under 60g to resell and when u do go to sell how do u ever sell the items u need to when u allways get undercut?.Eg i sell glyphes everynow and then ill sel a glyph of Water mastery for 15g in the ah when no one is there whoever ill come back in an hour and b undercut for 5-6g by several ppl how do u do i it i dont get it i can never make over 600g coz by the time i get 600g i need raid mats or gems for raid geer seems to hard to figure out ? thanks for reading sory if i crit ur eyes for OVER 9000!
Is it better to Auction the Mats of Items in AH or Auction the item?
What is the best way to get a quick and steady income?
What do i do if I am buying and selling in the AH but nobody is buying my items?
Since I am on a server filled w/ loads of raiding guilds would you say it would be more effiecent for me to harvest all my mats and make “x” during the week and then have most if not all of them ready to be sold on core raiding days (the days when alot of the hardcore guilds spend the day raiding). I’m wondering this because whenever I post items to sell on the AH it’s usually a hit or miss for the day, and if it was on core raiding days I would have more of a chance to sell, but then there’s also the other competion. Oh, and what percentage should I undercut by, because sometimes I’ve seen something for “x” gold and the other players have it up to 50% off. I’m kinda at a standstill here because I can’t really find a steady AH income; it changes between 50-400g a week (yes, I know that’s very pittiful, but all the more reason I NEED help from the “master”)
*you’ve offically been ganked by the wallodeth*
I’m an older player of Wow without a lot of available time. I’ve so far spent real cash on three or four other ‘gold making secrets’ guides only to find myself out of real money that I cannot afford. My question is simply this. What makes your guide different and why should I trust you?
you have listed several items taht have a high profit margin ~ on your server ~. Is there an automatted way to find these types of items on ~ any ~ server? I have already started to make money on the fish recipes, {which is ridiculous, btw} where do I find more items like this and then how do I automate the process?
i’ve just started my first character and am poor and trying to earn a bit of gold to get off to a good start. what is the best/most time effective way for me to start bring in some gold? (be it lots or little i need any and all help)
in your second preview video you said that to get massive amounts of gold you need to sell at the actual value of the item not the competitors price but if you sell higher than your competition how can you expect to sell anything?
it is said that one persons rubbish is another persons treasure, and this work with the auction house aswell. you use the auctionator addon to calculate profit margines and to see what percentage of the average price and item goes for, but you have to figure out what items to sell for your self. my question is how long do you take researching an item before deciding its a worth while thing to buy and resell? also how often do you revise the items your selling to make sure your getting the most poffit as possible and to make sure the price that item is going for is still quite high?
I was wondering if I should be buying and selling in the AH ever day or should I limit my auctions to certain days and if so which days are usually best.
I can’t find very good pipelines on my server. Most things are only being sold 10g less. And what do I do if I see a low price for an item, but it’s gradually lower. Like the next lowest for something is 40g then 39, 38, 37.. down to 30, instead of 40, then WOA a 30g without the in between auctions. I can’t find an auction like you buy for 16 gold arctic fur and sold for 40. Am I supposed to buy just the lowest and wait? I usually end up telling myself it’s just 1 gold, buy the next highest one, and buy them all and relist and I don’t think that’s correct.
What types of items would be the best to sell using Leatherworking? That’s my only maxed out creation profession, and I’m wondering how I should go about selling items that I make.
I have a couple questions:
Which is better Farming or Dailies?
Which profesions would provide me with the most income?
And, I already have my skinning maxxed i was wondering if i should drop that for some other prof or pickup leather working.
Hello Jon
First I have to say I couldn’t keep my eyes dry reading some of these posts here /cry sob sob - LOL! American Drama ftw … Well most questions have already been asked so let me ask you this ….
Wil this MGB of yours bring me to a Virtual Orgasm?!?!
If yay —> God bless ya Jon
If nay —> ‘Gief full Refund!’ =P
Sincerely,

When using your awsome plugins… can you go into more detail on how to filter out the most desireabele items.. and explain how to setup auto filtering and buying of those items.. mostly in Auctioneer, but other plugins as well… Please.
Can you explain the differences in the Auction House colored items.. Purple,Blue,Green,White, and Grey.. and if the grey items are worth our trouble?
Can you tell us where to spend our massive gold when we get it??? Looking for epic mounts and awsome gear that can be purchased and not dropped… so dungeons and raids dont have to be completed to gain good stuff….???
Tell us how much gold can be made in a week at various levels and how long it would take to get around 10k gold to buy artisian flying for an example?
I use a combination of two characters, a JC/Enchanter and a JC/LW. End up spending most of my time Prospecting Saronite and crafting blue gems, as well as DEing JC crafted items into Infinite Dust and Lesser Cosmic Essences. Lately there seem to be a few players that continue to compete against me in these categories. Needless to say, my profit per capita has decreased substantially. How can I keep prices High, when they keep undercutting me as soon as I put something up for auction?
Well lets see what else i can ask… after all, I want to win one of your guides… lol.
Qustion: What method would you use or you can share that can keep a running tally on item purchased, date, amount paid, date listed, amount listed for, amount item sold for and profit made from that item.. and do you have spreadsheet for that.. because i can understand how to use a good spreadsheet and can manipulate it to my satisfaction.. so… what do you have or recommend for that?
Okay.. Tell everyone what damage buying gold will do for individuals, other players, Blizziard game, and overall explanation of why NOT to buy Gold from anyone.
Good luck and don’t forget to select my question or just for fun let me have one of your guides.. lol I promise to add more silly questions for you if you do.
How do you identify pipeline items? For example, when arctic fur becomes available from vendors after 3.3 what can I buy and sell to make money? The pipeline items can change from patch to patch based on the demand created by new recipes or raid requirements.
Also will your guide be dynamic based on the changes in pipeline items?
When starting a new character to make gold, can you explain what you think and the differences between the ,
New Players,
Low
Medium
High
and any other types of servers available?
Is the “new players” servers better that a busy server.. is what i want to know.. and exactly where to start your character… Horde of course.. well you can tell us about Alliance too.
Okay, a couple of questions.
First off, I’m not able to play very long each day. Possibly an hour, to an hour at the half at the most. What’s the best way for me to get gold, and still enjoy actually playing the game further down the road.
Secondly, I’m a miner/engineer in-game. Which engineering items would be the best for me to create and sell for quick gold?
On a separate note, your videos that you’ve posted are very helpful, and make me excited to see more so I can see just how to make gold more efficiently.
Hey, im just broke and cant seem to mae any gold, so what is the best profession to have for gol making, and where should i fam o get gold?
I play on a established server ( one of the first set established and I’ll be darned like a sock if I can identify consistant comodities that can be pipelined. Even using “Auctioneer”, hot commodities are constantly going hot and then cold irratically. How does your system account for a well farmed environment and manipulated market.
A few questions for you:
-My server is filled with idiots (or so its seems) that constantly undercut my auctions and make it nearly impossible to sell for a major profit. What do you do about that?
-Also, in addition to auctioneer, what other addons should we download to make our gold making experience easier, faster, and help present the information in a more organized format?
-After about a week of using your guild as a help, and making gold off of it, i have noticed that on my server that a lot of prices stay steady. It seems that these players know the prices, and unless there is a ridiculous undercut, it seems hard to sell occasionally. Also do you go for only the major money makers, or (i.e.) Stack of Frostweave for 5g as supposed to a 10g standard?
Also, how long will it take to establish a steady reliable pipeline?
and what if your pipeline is constantly undercut by others that it soon becomes unreliable?
what are the other methods you would use
Do all the gold making techniques in the MGB 3.0 apply to only mid to high populated realms?
I have tried following the items that I have you use in your videos to make gold. But what do I do if those resources are tapped out? How do I find items that work for me on my server?
OK so my questions would have to be,
I have heard the best time to post your auctions are on friday-sunday, but what would be the best items to post durnign the busiest time for the AH? What Items should you also mainly concentrate on selling during the other days of the week?
Jon,
First, well done on your videos. I like your different perspective on your “pipeline” concept, especially since you make it relatively easy for everyone to understand. However, there are a couple of things that have been bugging me when it comes to selling a few select items on the auction house.
I’m not new to the concept of “pipelines,” and I have several addons that help me with my day-to-day auction house chores, but I’m not making nearly as much gold as I’d like. When I first started to be really serious about making gold through the auction house, I tried investing in some weapons and armor of different ranks (greens, blues and purples), but no one seemed to want to buy them at all, for whatever reason. After several of them came back to me, I got fed up and just started sending them to my high-level enchanter to disenchant for materials.
Another thing that’s been bugging me is pricing certain items for a huge profit when there’s no competition for a certain market. I tried your strategy with the Bristle Whisker Catfish recipe, which has worked really well so far, but many of my toons have a crafting profession and I’d like to get a whole lot more out of those professions than I’m seeing, so I can start selling what I craft for bigger profits.
So, my questions to you are:
1. Is there an effective way to sell weapons and armor of various colors (green, blue and purple) other than just the basic strategies that you have outlined (watching the market, as an example)?
2. How do you determine how much people are willing to buy stuff for? I thought that this was an interesting concept that you brought up in a previous video, but maybe a few more examples of this and how to determine these prices would be a little bit more helpful.
Thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work.
Hi,
givien the fact that ‘pipeline’ strategy is well worth trying, would it be suitable to farm some item and sold them? could you give us some advice about some worthy items which could farm within an hour or so and make good profit?
If some of the pipeline items aren’t available in our server, are there any rarer items which could be found in the auction house?
Is there a way or function of a addons that could help you find out the least competitive items?
Thank You
Jon (same name lolz)
Hey Jonathan, my question is what pipeline items are best for players just starting to use your method and want to try out your method without investing alot of gold to begin with.
My question is what is the maximum amount of gold a WoW player can hope to get using your system?
Hi, i was wondering which items tend to make good pipelines on any server (tho i know this isnt a garuntee) so that when im switching servers i know where a good place to start is
Hi,
I’ve been lagging behind you in terms of learning the hard way the best ways to make gold. Your videos have provided some shortcuts as well as confirming some of the strategies I already employ.
I’m seriously considering a purchase on Tuesday.
My question (comment) is wondering whether you cover some of the caveats in choosing pipelines. As an example, people will actually buy coal on my server, which is fantastic because of the low deposit. They will, however, also buy eternium thread but the profit is whittled by the larger deposit. If the thread doesn’t sell the first or second round, I would actually lose money. I dropped this as a pipeline obviously on my own and was supported by your video noting that this would not meet your criteria as a good pipeline….
So do you cover that level of detail? Like many others I’m hoping that this version or a future version will cover an in-depth breakdown of Auctioneer.
Cheers!
Two questions:
1.Where to start? I see these people who are pretty much controlliing the auction house, but how did they start off?
2.Are there any add-ons besides auctioneer that can REALLY help your gold making abilities?
Thanks!
What if, my server’s economy is really screwed up. This is a challenge for your gold guide. How can I make gold if none of the strategies seem to work in my server?
what is the best money making proffesion
To play the AH i feel like you have to some gold already built up. If you dont (like me) what can you do?
Hi John,
first, my english is not the best because I’m from Germany…but I want to have this guide!!! *.*
so, my server is reeeeallyy reeeally poor…
at the moment there are like 5 titan stell bars in the auction house and i have to pay things for very low prices to get them sale.
Do you think i can make a lot of profit there even if there isn’t much in the auction house and everyone else is pretty much poor?
thank you,
Brian
Hey John,
My question is: does it have to be that you work on it one hour a day, or will two hours every other day work just as well? I was wondering if the time you work on making gold was spaced that way for a reason, or if it was just a way to keep you from spending too much time working on making gold when you can be doing other things.
~Manthe
Hi i have some questions, First of all what are the best areas that have the most and best paying dailies?
Also i need some help with some money making addons that i could use the make the most and fastest wayt to get gold? Also with your help how long do you think i could make 5k+ more gold?
hi
My question is how much gold can you make in one week whit your system??
I usually get home from work about 45 minutes before raid time and i am always short on money. My question is are dailies the best way to go for some quick cash, or is there some other way i can get some money in 45 minutes before my raid?
Jon, love your videos.
I purchased a gold making guide in the past, it was very helpful as far as learning the Auctioneer Add-On, but I have yet to amass “real” gold. I can make around 3K but never seem to be able to make real loot. Your methods seem to focus on the sellers mind set of not having to be the lowest price in the AH. So I tried that seemingly simple idea last night. I made nearly 1K by selling around the 110% avg. instead of the lowest price. Thank you for breaking me of always needing to be the lowest priced seller.
I guess my question to you would be; does your video series discuss specifics of the potential buyers mind set? What I mean is; how do I determine the types of items to watch for? Items that will sell enough volume that all the low end auction posters sell out and there is still enough demand that my higher priced items sell in the same period of time. Hope this makes sense, haven’t had my coffee yet?. Good luck to all in the profit making game.
How does one get “down to business” in the beginning of starting the Massive Gold Blueprint, that is, how does one begin research on specific pipelines. It seems like the market is too cutthroat in many aspects of the game that really are “gold makers”, like glyphs, and it also seems like prices are too volatile on most trade (enchanting and metal) materials. Essentially what I’m asking is: How does one make the jump from a few hundred gold to a few thousand?
how much gold do you actually have throughout all of you characters on all of your realms?
what is the best proffesion to have to make money
-Jon
When I first saw your videos, I was amazed on how successful some of those Auctions were! But i did realize you needed gold to actually start that…
Is there a way to start from a low lvl alt? With no more that 2 gold?
hey there,
lets say i just started all over on a new realm, and all i have is 80-100 gold to start off auction housing. The problem is that 80-100g isn’t enough to start working with the auction house. How can i start pipelining with onlu 80-100g?
thank you
pedro
1)What are the best grinding spots in game, while you are on your daily quest routes?
2)How should i sell stacks? in single ores/leather/shards/cloth stacks, or in the stacks of 20?
3) What should i sell to make massive amounts of gold?
4) Reading the market is tricky business, knowing when to buy items that are in low demand at the time then selling them for 30-50g profit when they become high demand items… how can i start making the best possible hypothesis on what the market will do next, will this guide help with that?
1. How can I be sure that my auctions sell, even when I list HIGH, to a price people are willing to pay?
2. If I advertise in trade channel it will also draw the attention of the competition - is it a good or bad idea to annouce my auctions in trade?
3. How do you deal with the AH campers that constantly cancels and reposts?
Thanks,
Henke
You mention moving on if an item becomes priced too low. I have found that holding onto items I know will sell when the market becomes desirable can work as well. Do you stockpile items for this purpose to sell later on?
Thanks and Cheers,
Vel~
How do you play the auction house so well? I have tried over and over again to do this but I can only make small profits and sometimes I lose money instead.
You talk about buy low and sell high, which is what the majority (and at the moment I fall into this) of players are. You say to not be scared and sell at what the players are willing to pay but what I did not see and would like to know is how does one know what that price is and how does one find the products at “low” prices?
How do you know if the items you are trying to use as a pipeline are worth the struggle of trying to sell? I have noticed that some items just suck at selling in the auction house, and it kind of bugs me when I go bankrupt while expirementing with the auction house.
So far I haven’t seen much difference between your information and other gold making guides in that all of them mostly talk about outdated money making ideas.
You state like many others that you cover current money making ideas and tips, but some of the stuff you show seem a bit dated at least on my server.
With how Bliz is constantly adding more and more things these days would you recommend selling rare materials or finished products more. I have many level 80s each with different maxed tradeskills, so i am wondering if I should invest in the more expensive patterns or just sell the materials nowadays.
well I’m a 80 DK with almot full t9 and I’m maxed out in herbalism/mining. with fishing on the way. but i seem to always run low on money and when i want to get money i have to dedicate a whole playing time which is a couple hours to make a couple hundred gold.
tyvm 
btw i love your website
any ideas? saronite sells for avrg. 15g and titaium 200g for a stack. and frost lotus 50g per 1. but everything else seems low. ihave a alt im trying to level up enchanting to make maximum profit on greens instead of auction house. i use auctioneer,routes,gatherer. but i seem to always need hours and hours to make gold. then since im in a end game raiding guild my repairs kill me. HELP please.
I really don’t know why other players are willing to pay so much for these cheap stuff which can be baught in the shops?
I know that many guilds are formed in the hopes of using raids to make money, but isn’t there a way to make a guild into more of a shop? Is that a possible gold making strategy or am I just dreaming?
Dear Jon,
A question to pass by you in hopes of winning the drawing
When blowing through different pipelines, do you have a list that you use of commonly sold items to go through to be most time efficient, and if so, how highly do you recommend organizing different items to make the most of your played/gold making time and how often should it be updated?
Hi Jon
I have been playing World of Warcraft for some years now and for about six months ago i got fascinated about making gold in the auction house, so i decided to try it out. I went on the internet to find all the information i could about making gold in wow. Unfortunately i couldn’t afford a gold guide, so when i had read almost everything possible about making gold in wow i jumped into it. I had a few hundred gold as starting money and I started of quiet nice, i made a few hundred gold a week and everything went smooth, the problem started when my server exploded, the popularity went from low to full in some weeks, with increased popularity came several persons who played the auction house which resulted in extremely low prices on the auction house.
Since i only can play 1-2 hours a day i can’t keep up with all the competitors who is driving the prices to the minimum. so in a couple of weeks my gold went from approximately 3000 to 0. So my first question is: how can i find a pipeline that is a steady and good gold maker.
However that wouldn’t stop me, this was when i first heard about “The Massive Gold Blueprint” When i saw some of you videos my first thought was “how can this guy make so many gold with such techniques” this made me think about my second question: How can i find items that will sell good on a high populated server.
i dropped gold making for a time and went back to my main characters when i realized that i have four different maxed out professions on two lvl 80 characters, which leads me to my third question: What Profession is the best when you want to make gold.
But still everything i try keeps going wrong… Now im Broke, can’t afford enchants, flasks and such for late nights raiding which means that i can’t participate in raids and do all the fun things i would like to do in wow. So Jon please help me!
-Thanks
Hey Jon,
When you start a level 1 character how do you manage to accumulate enough gold to start playing the AH? Do you grind a bit for some silver or do you send some gold to that Alt from your Main?
In terms of resale items, what are the best to buy, then resale? i usually go and find items that are about 20-30% of the normal price, is that an effective way to make gold?
Your videos are very informative & explain simple strategies that really pay off. You pointed out that there are recipes you can buy from vendors cheap & auction high (mostly to people too lazy to travel to vendor on their own, haha). But there are also recipes available to alliance but not available to horde & vice-versa, probably other items as well. My question is do you ever advocate cross-faction trading, is there a sucessful strategy or is it just not worth the trouble.
Thanx!
1.Is it worth to level up a second caracter with 2 crafting professions if you have a high level caracter with 2 gathering professions?
2.What are the most wanted items and how do i get them?
3.Buying low and selling high seems to me a low level tactic…you might get a 50 gold profit or maybe a bit more…but what if you need thousands of gold?In fact you can’t even be sure if someone will buy the item from you.What fast-making gold secrets are REALLY out there?
How did you get your Auction House knowledge? How did you start? Essentially, how did you get from knowing nothing about the AH to being a master?
cralor
Since the WOW economy can be extremely different across the various realms, how would one know what items can be auctioned for profit. Many of the examples from your videos are not effective on my server. So, I guess, my question would be this: What tips or tricks would you use to initially identify the items on ANY server that could potentially sell well enough to start making that profit?
I have many 80’s and when i have spare time i enjoy crafting on them. Which profession do you think is the most profitable?
tony again
my other question is why would people try to attack the web site you ar only trying to help others to find out how to make money.and other question i have mining and blacksmiting as my professions would they make good auction house gold makers
When You buying Things e.g. Buy Low Sell High which is the best items to buy as a beginner and what would be the maximum price you should spend to Buy Low and Sell High as a Beginner
Hey, i was going round asking my guild members if buying a guide would be good for me. they replied “the gold making aspects changed varied to different servers, so there is no point getting it unless its based on your server.” will this guide work on every server, or will there be servers where this guide with be worthless?
i appreciate any answer
When someone undercuts by a large amount, is it best to buy their items and get them out of the auction house (while making a profit), or would that just encourage them to put more up and ruin the economy of that item?
I have been trying to be my own guild bank in a way. Have I been spending too much on the biggest and most bags in my bank and on my back? I average 16 slot bags on each slot and still use mail to alts to Return other items? I concentrate on armor and weapons to be used soon, items that could be used in my professions and only a little stuff good for health/mana/companion food. In the meantime although I’d rather be questing or in battleground I spend lots of time trying to build the basic professions that everyone gets.
Hey Jon!
So I’ve been wondering if I should use the auctioneer feature, Snatch. I haven’t seen you use it in any one of your videos and was just wondering if it would make any difference to the way I make gold. Just in case you don’t know what Snatch does, which you probably do, Snatch is a feature that you can find on Auctioneer that helps you find great deals for you (without the hassle of checking your written-down pipelines!). Assuming you do a daily scan on the AH, you can input your “Pipelines” into snatch with the price you would like to buy them at, and you can enable whether it can be bid on, or buyout. With your “Pipelines” ready, everytime you enter the auction house it will tell you if any of those items are for sale! Please tell me if this will be a useful addition with the free tips the you gave us in your awesome preview!
Thanks,
Tristan
Okay, so how do you decide what to buy and sell. Coming from a guy with no AH experience, what is a good way to decide on what to do without spending more than an hour a day?
Jon,
First question, would you recommend that you use a high level toon to occasionally access the vendors that a low level toon cannot access such as the blacksmith near Stratholme and send those recipes over to the low level toon for sale?
Second question, would you use the cross faction trading to move gold from one faction to the other in the case that you need a larger quantity of gold on one side or the other? If so how would you go about it? Is there a simpler way than using separate accounts to put up a sale of a junk item for a huge amount of gold?
BTW, great set of ideas and presentation
Thanks,
Lew
How did you learn all this stuff, and come up with your system. Ive been playing a year, and have made 20,000 at one point just by happening on the right things to sell at the right time accidentely.
What do you get from scanning auction house, and how to determine what is a good buy or not for your server?
How do you become consistent with these methods?
How do you know what you should sale something for? You can total the items to make and get rough estimate, but what is it really worth on the market?
Hey Jon,
I play on a high population server and was wondering if you could give some insight to “blue chip” low-risk items that are pretty consistent to buy low and turn around and make a decent profit on without having to put them up in the AH time and time again. Thanks for the tips so far and keep up the hard work.
Another question, would you suggest building a guild to gain access to a guild bank to store additional materials especially with preparing for the 3.3 patch or Cataclysm?
Hi Jon,
I’ve been playing WoW for over 4 years now, but i’ve never thought about having more gold than i need, untill a few weeks ago. I’ve never bought an epic flying mount because i never needed it. I do hardcore PvP and some endgame raiding. I never grinded/farmed and concentrated on arena/raids thinking that I’d never need a flying mount anyways. I would usually just do some dailys, i actually managed to do all 25 in less than 2 hours and that would be enough for a day. But 2 weeks ago i came home a bit late and couldn’t do my dailys before raid, so i came unprepared. I ended up borrowing gold from some guy. I asked for 500 gold (flasks, food, repairs, but he gave me 1000g saying its nothing for him, since he had thousands. After the raid i asked how much gold he actually has and he showed me 120k + lots of expensive epics. He told me that he never farms and doesnt spend much time getting the gold. He taught me to use Auctioneer and gave me a quick run through on its basic functions. After 1 or 2 days trying to work the AH i’ve realized that i’ve been living in a shell for over 4 years now.. I didnt really know what to do, so i just went with the safest ways (search for vendor/prospect/disenchant items). I’ve started making gold slowly. When i reached 1.3k in a week of doing 20 minutes of auctions per day i went shopping and spent it all on gems and enchants, then realized that i have to start making it all again. I’ve also noticed that i don’t gain gold fast but my bank is getting filled with greens/ores/gems/enchanting mats pretty fast.
So here is my questions:
1) When is the best time to spend the gold?
I’ve noticed that all the gold i gain from the AH i immideatly spend on even more greens/mats etc., so i do own the gold but if i spend it i will get less gold back.
For example i start with 100g. I spend it all on items then sell them and get 150g back. I do that again and end up with 250g and so on. I end up with 1k+ and i start getting back some good gold per day. but i feel like the gold isnt mine because whenever i buy something expensive i have to star over again.
2) When is the best time to put many items in the AH and when should i hold on to things?
While im doing my little buy-disenchant/prospect-sell buisness i notice how fast my bank is filling up with stuff that i already have up on the AH. I realized that the items aren’t selling at the same rate every day but i can’t figure out the pattern, so for now my bank is stuffed with all kinds of things while i have 50-80 stacks in AH already.
Should you wait with everything when you want to sell it like infinite dust, it’s price is fairly constant, so sell it a little under the constant market price or will it eventually rise a bit?
And witch is the best to sell: things that sell a lot and where the price is very constant or things that vary in price range or just both?
Hey, Jon…here’s my question: If I am doing a “search” on items for “resale” in auctioneer, what should I put in as “minimum profit” and what “price valuation” should I put in?
Thanks, Going for the Gold as a 0.1%’er.
I use auctioneer and can get a list of items, but how do I access this list to show me what is a good buy? I have never been able to access my list.
I have several items that I buy and sell for good profit, making 2K gold in the last 3 weeks. I found these items by accident and I want to find more. 10K in 1 week sure beats 2K in 3 weeks!
Don
Hey, you’ve showed us specific examples of items that can make quite a good profit.
How about types of items (quest items, reagents (arcane powder), holiday stuff, weapons, gems, recipes, glyphs, consumables, bags, armor(shields, trinkets etc), and the items from gathering professions)?
I know this may sound like a lot of stuff to cover, but maybe list them from most profitable to least with some examples of each category.
What auctioneer add on is the best to use? I have seen multiple oes, though I never looked at the description of them all.
what is the best way to start making the gold you need to start buying out auctions and then reselling them?
Thanks a million for all the ingenious gold ideas you have been sharing in the videos.
My question is regarding selling different size stacks of different mats - either for enchants or for different recipes that need “x” number of this and “y” number of that to make the end products.
Do you sell stacks that way or not even think in those terms? Is it a feasible ways to post items?
Thanks
How do you stop people from consistently undercutting you?
How long do you recommend watching a price trend for before deciding it’s worth the investment? To me it seems that not spending long enough could mean you get caught out by an anomalous price hike, whereas spending too long means you could miss your chance.
Hi dee ho good neighbour
My question deals with the switch up when there is a patch i always find myself being behind when a new (large) patch comes out and i lose money .i have a RL so can`t monitor as closely as i could when i first started and was able to finance our guild.Plz help guild is suffering .Is there a way to either anticipate or respond in a proactive way so i can make money instead of losing it?This also would apply when a pipeline (as you call them)goes down many times they come back but what is the best way to monitor the action of them since sometimes it takes weeks to come back?
Is forever undercutting (and hence driving prices down) the best way to the fastest way to earn gold (Not necessarily the best way)?
Is playing the AH better than farming, and if so why?
Is it better to sell a stack of an item versus selling items separately. It seems to be that following a trend of certain items that single seems to sell better for some and not others.
I have been a fan for a while with watching the first video. The real question that has been on my mind with watching is this: Does it matter on the leveling style that you prefer? (grinding, quest loops, etc.)
hope you at least touch on the subject I’m in the average player category with a couple addons for prices and things like that.
What tools do you use to track your pipelines and successes? Other than auctioneer and beancounter, do you have offline spreadsheets or databases set up to do historical analysis of what items sell on which servers over what period of time, or during what particular times of year? Items which are particularly useful for seasonal achievements would seem to carry the highest profit potential during those events, but have you done any analysis to show yea or nay if they can be big sellers outside those events?
Hey jon,
I got a few questions:
How much gold and what lvl do you have to when you want to start making 10k gold a week?
I saw your preview videos and saw how you did it but i didnt see your lvl or i didnt hear you say how much gold you had when you started to make you millions.
Also addons, with your guide will there be like a list with the addons you got and which addons aren’t that great.Will any addons even be needed ???
You showed us you made 10k gold in a week by your pipelines, now before your preview videos i had no idea what a pipeline was but you sure did and you explained it well, but i was just wondering were those items you showed us your pipelines for the get 10k gold in a week video, were they for just for that week or like can you do it over and over againwith the same stuff
Well thank you Jon for taking the time to read this and i hope you can answer some of my questions for me
In your previews you speak about setting up alts for only muling (AH purposes). I can only assume to cover the major cities. Would setting up a Guild Bank, help or hender this, because I have a lot of alts and might not be able to create enough mules.
How long should I observe the AH to get a trend as to what sells best and what the ups and downs of pricing are for verious items? Does the currenly available software addons provide a way to track price variences for a selected item and the ability to save that data to a excel file or something like that. This would allow graphs to be made that make it easier to see what the trends are?
Thank you
Gary
Ok, so I have a small amount of gold (320) to play the auction house with. But I want to know the main way you select what you find that’s easy to make big profits with, because judging with the amount of gold your make, You know the best techniques. I also want to lean how to use the auction house add-ons to the best of my ability. Being the low level that I am and how being able to focus on leveling, I figured that I’d strive for something else and I wanted to learn from the best of the best.
Ive been playing WoW for a bit of time now and i am able to get my hand on gold, however very very few of it and playing for hours in the auction house, in my attempts of buying low selling high every item i find that looks good and the auctioneer tells me i can make good profit of it i buy it repost it by the price auctioneer suggest and get my hopes up, weeks go by and not even a bidder comes, and the item i bought falls into the mess of items i was unable to sell and are now in my bank. So my question is, What is the best strategy for buy lowest sell highest?
I rarely ever get to get on WoW due to personal reasons, and because of that i ask this. what exactly would be the best way to may mounds of gold in say, 2 to 3 hours. it proboaly wouldnt be much, but it would be enough for my lvl 45 to get along, for now atleast
okay,im wondering is there a way to forsee what will be worth good gold in auction house,but is not so to speak.. on the radar yet…and thus be able to get the jump on most people?
I’m assuming you have enough gold to buy whatever you want 100 times or more, no matter what it is. So my question is: Would it ever be a smart move to buyout every single item in the AH of a certain item, then reprice it at a higher price, forcing players to pay more than what its worth?
For Example: On my server there’s over 12 pages of Infinite Dust. With the amount of gold you have, you could buyout every single one of those infinite dust. They usually go for about 3g each, but if you bought them all you could reprice them at 6g each. Seeing how everyone needs infinite dust, they would have no choice but to buy it at that price.
Would that be a good idea or a bad idea?
Brand new toon, new realm, what is the best way to start making gold? What are the best professions for the most profit?
Hi John.
As you showed us in one of the previews, some people posts a lot of the same things (like the Tuxedo plans or brilliant smallfish), and by that “f**ks* up the competiction for them self and us. How should I/we deal with that, if we ever want to make something out of that specific item? just wait for them to give up or totally underbid them?
hello from Nicolai, Denmark
P.S Sorry for my gramma and spelling
What should I do when I buy every item in the AH of a certain item, post them with a higher price, and someone post a lot of the same items with a lower price?
Jon,
So what is going to be your next guide to be rolled out and when?
I was wondering when a pipeline dies what are ways to spot a new one? also how do u know what the highest price to sell the item at is?
Which items should one avoid from trying to sell on the auction house, despite Auctioneer appraising them at high prices? How many times relisting before giving up?
How long do your pipelines usually last, and which items have worked best for you.
you said its best to wait tell the AH price went up befor posting. so when is the best time to post in the AH the morning,after noon,night or does it very depending on if its a week end? and do u use dugi’s ultimate wow guide?
Hi, is there some way to set Bean Counter up to scan for groups of disparate items and help sort out the best item to work on at any given time? Ergo some sort of macro add-on?
Hi Jon,
One of the ideals of economics states that someone can be successful if they have power. One example of this “power” is knowing things that no one else knows.
I have found a way to get infinite dust quickly and reliably, withcout ever leaving my capital city, and still make a profit!
However, there is a few hurdle that i cannot seem to jump over, if you will.
The price of infinite dust changes quite a bit. I have logged on and seen the price be anywhere from two to six gold/infinite dust. How can i predict when i should sell my infinite dusts?
is there an add-on that can help me manage this, or an add-on that could help take items off the AH if i am under cut?
I am a JC and have been since I started playing again right after BC and I have made a lot of gold selling gems in the AH. After the WotLK came out I have found a lot more players doing JC and lowering the prices all around. Is there an easy way to tell when you should undercut the competition and when not to and is there something in Auctioneer that will let you know what items you have been undercut on so you can cancel the action and report, or is it even worth it? Also how long should I be posting my auctions for 12, 24 or 48 hours?
At the Auction House - Looking at the browser for the item you want to sell, do you sell it below what most people are selling it for or use the same prices? Is it fair to the other person if you sell for less? Lets say you craft a white cloth robe. You have increased the armour by 8. It is for level 8 characters. It is going for over 1 gold without emblishments. You sell yours for only 32g - 52g taking into consideration that most level 8’s don’t have lots of gold. Mine sell all the time, but I’m making only half what the other person is making IF he sells his. I realize this is only penny-ante but I have wondered if I am mean and unscrupulous by doing this. Thanks. Jackie (Piecedtageda Undead Walock - Baelgun)
How can I get to a really high level in a short period of time because I always see people in Dalaran who are extremely higher than me and just about all of them have a flying mount or epic flying mount.
Hey,
Now I have bought a couple gold guides before and they were moderately effective. By their methods I was able to gain a few thousand gold, but the way they described things was vague, and basically boiled down to being a technique to buy low and sell high. One of the guides had me keeping a short list of items, maybe ten or twelve, and track their prices every day at specific times to discover their price spread throughout the week and then, in quite a few more words, it said to buy when you saw prices at the low end, and sell when you saw prices at the high end. Granted this was effective, but all in all, time consuming, and only got me a few thousand gold. They also pretty much claimed that you need gold to make gold. Meaning in the examples they showed, they were buying 8-10k worth of items and turning that around to make 5-6k profit. Almost anyone would find it easy to make 5-6k profit if I had 10-20k, and getting up to that would take several months.
Now, my question is, how in depth do you go into your guides and how effective is your teaching method? I know you have, as you said in one of your videos, 50+ hours on how to do things, but the guides I have gotten and seen before have all boasted real content. I am a very linear learner; I have to have step-by-step instructions, and no, I’m not talking about over-simplified instructions. I can’t learn how to make gold when all the gold guide basically says is “look at the price spread; buy low, sell high.”
In essence, I just want to know that I’m really going to be able to make tons of gold BECAUSE I am able to follow your method. I don’t want to pay $70 dollars for something that is going to make me 10k gold and take 4 months to do it. From the videos I have watched, it does seem like you will explain everything clearly, even though your free ones are an overview of your method basically an advertisement. I just want to have clear cut evidence that I will never have to worry about WoW gold and buy another expensive guide again!
** Off the record ** I understand that this isn’t exactly a question pertaining to gold making specifically, and I understand that there is a chance that might disqualify me from my chances at the free copy of your guide, however I feel this question might be very useful as a selling point in your next free video, and hopefully that might keep me in the running. =)
I play WoW because I enjoy playing the game. How do I avoid spending half of my game time making gold just to enjoy the other half of the game? It spoils the game somewhat to feel like the only way to suceed/enjoy it fully is to take advantage of others in the AH.
My current concern is Epic flying.

What do you thinks about farming?
for a while i would farm wool cloth on my sever (malogos)and sell for 15-20 gold
if you have good prices like that should you farm or stick with the whole by low sell high?
Is it better to be more conservative or more of a risk taker when it comes to the auction house? As in, is it better to spend 1000g and take some chances or spend 100g and have more guarantees?
After avidly following your preview video’s, I am seeing a re-current theme.
Buy low, sell for maximum profit in minimum time. Great business acumen.
Coupled with the idea of pipeline’s, the “oil” of Wow, you really do earn money fast.
However, the recurrent questions seem to be:
1. How can I identify these pipelines, and when is the best time to sell? Is there an add on that can tell me?
2. How are you able to buy and sell at such insane prices at the right times?
I understand that identifying the pipelines is a mixture of common sense, a keen mind and a bit of luck, and you have already showed us some addons you use. (Beancounter)
So here is my question for you:
How are you able to accurately and efficiently recognize the “pipelines” of your server, that are consistent and don’t have wildly fluctuating prices?
Other burning questions:
Should I match my professions to a realms AH pipelines?
What are some tips to minimize “gold” time, and max “play” time, while still having enough gold?
How can you accurately undercut and outbid the competition in AH, without losing a % to deposits for valuable mats?
Thanks
I personally dont have too much problems making gold although i dont clear as much as you in a week. the one thing i get asked alot is how. what would be the best 5 tips to give to a player who is struggling to make ends meet?
What do you think about high returns crafting? I am new to the ah and just finding my way around the market so I don’t have a steady income yet. However, I do have some epic patterns on my lvl 80s that I can make about 400g profit per item. Even though these returns are intermittent, (I can probably sell about 1 a week), do you think it would be useful to mix this into the ah pipeline strategy or should I wait to find some good niches? Do you think it will make a difference in the long run?
I have a second question. In your experience, is it better to stay away from and item whose market price fluctuates wildly, as well as its saleability, or is it better to buy low and hope that it ends up at a profit level?
Hi John,
thanks for being so kind to create all those videos which are free and effective. I’ve earned about 1000 gold since. Other people would not be so kind to do such videos and create previews which you would update regularly looking forward to the next video!
Now for the question, how is it possible to break the 1k gold mark where i am at now. I tried using the titansteel pipeline but my server has them all at about the same price around 170g and some not less then 140.
Thanks too in advance.
1) Does Auctioneer’s Bottomscanner actually help you find underpriced items for resale? If so, what is the best way to use it?
2) Is there any good way for Engineers to make Gold nowadays? Selling Nesingwary 4000s and Combat Shotguns does not seem to be as lucrative is it used to be, probably due to lower demand.
I have never been good at making money AT ALL, my question is basically:
Would it be better to farm instances or use the AH? I don’t feel like doing dailies or farming herbs or skinning so that’s about it.
It would also be helpful to know how much I’d get each week/month/year with both methods.
What is the best way to get that rare stuff artic fur, and what else would be good for a leather maker and skinner to make gold with?
1) How do you know which are the best items to base a pipeline on? Do you need to spend some time (days/weeks) analysing the AH & working out which are the best items to sell?
2) What is the best way to use AH addons (auctioneer, auctionator, etc.) to maximise profits.
i am a vegan and saving for college. I can either work at pioneer chicken and remain ill for the next year or become enormously rich. That is unlikely, but i am hoping you can make me rich in wow. How can i legally (within the wow guidelines) make some money for being rich in wow?
I wanted to ask how long do you normally get to use a pipeline to make massive gold before someone messes it up and you must find a different, or return to it later?
While I know how to sell on the Auction House using Auctioneer, I often find that certain items (saronite ore, titanium ore) sell better, in quantity, without the AH “cut” by hawking in trade channel.
My question: do you have a list of items that tend to sell better when hawked in trade versus placing on the Auction House and praying?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Two questions:
First, what do you think about “cornering” the market on something? I sometimes see someone do this with a common ingrediant or herb - they sell dozens of stacks at, say, 10g/stack, and if you put any up for less than that, they immediately buy it and resell it. Can people really make money that way?
Second - I am a casual player. I play maybe three-four hours per week. I don’t need to make 80,000 gold, and I don’t want to spend even 1/hour per day. I just want to be smarter about how I buy & sell things, when to buy vs. craft, etc. Basically be more financially sound in my WoWing. Is your guide going to help me with that?
Thanks!
what do you think abotu quest grindong? Is it good or bad for WoW $$$?
Is it hard to play the auctionhouse ?
I have tried and it didn’t go sowell.
and what aboutt grinding materialss as Warlock is that possible ?
I find it difficult to find the time for wow, let alone making gold. What are some good ways to maximise gold made per hour?
how do you know when not to post at ah on the day wow offline
What classes do you consider to be the easiest to use as an alt for gathering professions such as mining and why? And if you had to pick one profession and only one, what profession would it be?(gathering professions)And again why?
Sorry that is 32 copper to sell out at 52 copper. My bad. Sorry.
Hello.
What are the key aspects & fundamental skills necessary to earn massive amounts of gold? Does your gold guide explain in detail how to earn gold, or dig deeper, and let the customers grasp the fundamentals and expand from that in order to truly unlock their gold making potential?
Hi
I would like to know the best way of survey different servers goldflow. Is there a summary somewere of the best selling items, general activity, no of players etc of different servers?
What are the top selling items for each professions.
for example whats the best Jewel crafting cuts to use you token on first to maximize your income potential
For leather working what epics sell the best (the hunter crafted seem to do good), whats the best selling armor kits.
What about the possibility of including some sort of spreadsheet where you could input the cost of the mats on your server and it would give you a list of the total cost to make an item. Would be easy to compare to the server price to see what you can easily craft for profit without even farming.
Whats the best addons for scanning the AH, yes i know auctioneer is great, is there any others that can be customised to just certain items or ?
Cheers,
Allan
Sorry for reposting but theres something i forgot to ask. Is it wise to spend gold lvling my jc… Ive spent ovet 2000 gold (way more i think) and im now lvl 405. Or should i try to make gold with auctioneer ?
Hi Jon and Dave .. (fellow Kiwi
I have been following your methods for a week now, and I was wondering if every high priced sale sells ? And if so, am I to believe that I’m to gain wealth from the laziness of rich level 80’s who don’t want to go and farm a few of the basic items, and for that I should charge them an arm and a leg ?? As, I have been placing a few items on there for huge sums !! and they’ve sold !! Much to my supprise ??
And I noticed it wasn’t that hard to farm.
My last question, for now anyway is .. is a standard practice to keep putting up the price to a price to see what the market will bare ? As I have done so rediculously to see that someone else has even topped my price ? Also, is it better to sell in stacks ie, wool (20) or in some cases individually to hike the price still further ? What do you reccommend ??
Thanks for your great site, money well spent !!
Daniel :))
Hi,
first of all, thanks for all the information you’re posting. But I’m wondering how to find out which items are suitable for pipelines ?
Regards
regbac
How do I find out if somthing is worth buying and putting into the AH? and is there any other addons you would recomend besides Auctionner?
Thanks.
Mason,
Just need some good tips on how to make money really.
Hi
Thanks for all free videos and information from you.
1. What is the best items to sell (your favorites items) that make most profit ?
2. What profession can you make most gold with and what profession is the worst to make gold with.
Hi John,
Will MGB make WoW my second full time job, or can I expect to have the same awsome time I already have, and still manage to make massive amounts of gold? I really don’t want to lose track of why I play the game, and turn in a gold making zombie, then there would be no point in it. I hope you can explain. Thank you.
Hi John,
First of all thanks for all your help I have been with you for over 1 year now. Most of my gold I made with your help. 4 epic chars wih all the goodies you can imagine. My latest a druid that hit 80 one week ago and now already have the gear to heal TOC 10 normal.
My question is how do you pick out stuff to look after? Many of the channels that I use get picked up by other players and I have to search for other “blindspots in the market.
i dont care how i do it i neeed gold XD but i wna destroy gold serlling companies xD so i need your copy plz plz i will do it gently XP
best,regards Francisco
What is the best way to make money? Some people say farm cloth, some people say farm herbs, some people say mining, etc. Some people say to farm eternals, and some say doing dailies? Which way is really the fastest?
My question: How do you manage to read these questions without blowing your brains out? I never knew there were so many retards trying to make gold in the worst ways possible?
What should I farm? NOTHING
How do I turn a profit on x item if its a flooded market? MOVE TO A DIFFERENT MARKET
What professions should I take to make gold? NONE
What are the “globally” profitable pipelines? ELIMINATE THE WORD GLOBAL FROM YOUR VOCABULARY
I’m part of the 0.1% from one of the videos and these dumbasses make me facepalm.
I’ve got another question:
You talk about starting on a brand new server and reselling ex. vendor items.
How long do you estimate it takes to get from that point starting out with no gold on a level 1 to doing the massive pipelines earning you, as you say, 10000 gold/day.
Good videos, already started trying some of the techniques.
Regards,
Stefan
Hey dude,as you said in one of your videos that the priceing and pipelines are diffrent on every realm. How can you be sure that your guide works on every realm?
I have the auctioneer mod but never realy used it, I found it anoying and didnt realy trust the prices it gave me, although I have still managed to get epic
flyers on 2 chars and made a couple twinks. I manage to make a good amount of money without it becasue I remember the prices of things in my head and i have some “pipeline” items as you call them that I buy and sell on a regular basis that help me make most of my money so I was wondering what are the important features of the auctioneer addon and how do you use them to save time and effort and ofcourse make more profits and if there are other addons you use then what are they and how do they work to our advantage. also I have looked into a a few other gold making guids and they talk about Ways to manipulate the Auction House so the items you sell will always sell and at the prices you choose so i was wondering if you know anything about that. Also wondering if it’s worth buying materials off the auction house and making items with them and then selling them or disenchanting them to make profit. And you say you can make 10k gold a week but what if you invested 10k gold per week, would you get even more out of it at the end?
At what point is it best to use the blueprint method? I understand that you could start any time really, but to get the method to work to its full potential would it best to get in at the start of a server?
I realise that each server has its own economy, and you are looking for your own niche on your server and then exploit it to the max.
Is it best on on a new server? Or will it just take time to find your spot on your server?
Thanks for letting us see inside your method.
Bob
Hi, my question is:
How do i find out what the other players want to pay for my auctions, so that i can sell to the highest price possible?
Frej
Hi Jon,
thanks for giving a sneak into how your blueprint method works, if only a small peak it has worked for me on a small scale just by trying out a few things that you suggest, and thanks for that.
My question is: how long do you think it takes before you start to get a decent income from a scratch lv1 character to about say 500 gold a day, I am fed up always struggling for gold when I get a new piece of gear for gems & the best enchant and I see your method may help me out of the “No Gold Trap”
All the best,
Andrew
Are there any guide/suggestions on rare items, or vanity pet’s and location where to pick up/drop them from that are realy valuable to resell in AH?
Is moreconvenient and fast to take mining and sell directly ore/bars or spend longer time and more money to raise up professions like blacksmithing, jewelcrafting etc to sell things at higher price?
Haha, Guvernor said exactly what I was thinking. 90% (and I’m probably being generous here) of these questions are absolutely retarded and answered in the videos.
Do I need a level 80? Pretty sure Jon was using a level 1 in all his videos.
How much gold do I need to start? 38 copper seems a nice starting point.
What should I farm? Nothing, this guide is about making money from playing the AH.
How much time does it take? 1 hour a day like the site says.
Will I make more gold doing dailies + farming as well? Of course you’ll get extra gold on top of what you make from playing the AH, it’s just gonna take you longer than 1 hour a day doing all the extra work.
Are dailies and farming faster? Yes and No. For the majority of you people out there just stick with the dailies because it’s clear from these questions you don’t even understand what the guide is about. For people who have paid attention spending one hour a day at the AH is immensely faster. I have yet to see anyone who can make approximately 1.5k gold per day in an hour of dailies/farming.
If you had to ask any of those questions then the guide is not for you or you haven’t even watched the videos and just saw an opportunity to get a free guide.
Anyway, my question; You say we can make this kind of gold in one hour a day. Do you have a specific time of day where you spend most of your time at the auction house or do you break it up into small chunks and check the auction house at regular intervals?
I have seen many different ways for people to make gold, but none seems cut and clear. Whats the best class type for earning gold? Also what is the most effective method which requires the least amount of time to get gold? Burning through dailies? If that is the best way is there a pattern to make them quicker and more effecient? Grinding mobs for hours on end? If that is what mobs where? Is there some other unnoticed mystery in WoW that allows players to ammass tons of gold?
NO NO NO NO NO
That’s not Gold - That’s not Copper
That’s 32 SILVER buy out at 52 SILVER.
Excuse — too late at night/early morning, lol.
My mind was mush!!!
OK, I am as noob as a new born baby. I started playing wow 2 months ago. I do have a lvl 80 toon now hanks to Dugi. I have been grinding dailies because to me the auction house is way to confusing to operate in.
I had also looked at another gold making guide. They said it was easy……. lol. I have yet to work in the auction house.
If I only had someone to show me how to do it, it would be great.
My question is how does someone that don’t know the game or auction house very well, get started in selling and making gold.
I bought the money making guide and dont know how to use it -.-
Hello Jonathan!
My question is about your way to make loads of gold.
I have seen ur free introducing vids, but after those awsome tricks i got one question.
I hope i got it right.
You tell us in your last video about pipelines, i have little exp. about this. But as i got your explain, you mean that we should buy low, and wait for the price to go up. This normally takes about a week. And then we need to wait untill the price go down? I am using “Auctioner Addon” and i type down what the prices are… But according to your tips/miniguide i would take longer time. I hope this only is a missunderstanding and such, but i will keep in touch and i am really up to buy your guide cuz i need some help to make even more money.
~Oscar (Sweden)
How much gold would you spend roughly a day in order to get a decent turn around?
whil will make me more gold mining leatherworking or jewelcrAfting in need a good guide from, somw where to help me badly lol
I farmed 11k gold in 1weekend with mining/prospecting and buying enchant materials and selling chants on vellum III, Is it possible that several profession mixes can be more lucrative then purely focusing the buying and reselling?
Say if u got different chars like 6 80s with all different professions, is it possible that a mix of using different professions is the ultimate wow farming tecnhic?
However, very impressed by what ive seen in the movies, specialy about low lvls, made a lvl for fun on a realm, got 350g now on the char<3
Hey Jonathan =]
ive had ppl tell me before that blizzard start getting suspicious when u have a low lvl char with lots of gold and gold trading going on and its possible to get a ban. Is this true, and is it right that its better to has a separate banking char?
thanks heaps. love the videos :p
made a lvl 1 for fun on a realm***
How much will earnings and pipelines be affected with the introduction of new patches or expansions? For example, if Cataclysm is out tomorrow it might cause earnings to drop by a considerable amount, how much will it affect your pipelines and how long will it take for earnings to recover as before?
This is because certain items/recipes/enchants/etc. will be made redundant with new patches, and it might take some time for profits to roll in as players progress in game. Thank you for the free videos!
So,
how important is the arbitrage function, do you daily sell stuff to the other side or is it something that just swings by every now and then? and furthermore is it legal can blizz ban you for doing it ?
dailies or grinding
where to grind
what to do with your money ^^
I make a decent income in the AH and with some of the pipelines that you illustrate in your free video samples. My question is this:
How much do you find server size affecting your methods and how do you adapt?
I am on a smaller, older, server and it seems to me that a lot of common reagent items and consumables just don’t sell much volume. I work to find other items as you say in your videos, it just seems to me that population size plays into things and I would like tips to adapt better and more quickly.
Thanks in advance,
David
I understand the pipeline idea. But, there are on my realm, too many unknowing people that continually mess up the pricing for an item so often, I have trouble keeping anything going for more than a week. Then it takes weeks to get thing back under control. Is this normal?
Ok here is the thing i´m one of those players that has around as you say 15k gold earned i have a few allts and most of them that are in there 80´s have epic flýer but as you know one can always use more gold. So my question is this. Can your guide help me earn the little extra gold i want even if i don´t spent some time at the ah every day? or even can i expect the same result if i only go in to the AH every few days?
Hi, I do ok with the AH and using the add ons but still not massive amounts (enough to usually cover my needs but would like more ; ) but it takes much longer than just an hour usually as things seem to shift constantly in the WOW economy like in the RW. I wonder whats the best way to keep identifing pipeline items as things shift so that you can maxamize your earning potential. Love the free videos and have picked up a few things that will defin help. Thanks!
hello i have the problems like all the rest i cant make enough gold to keep up my needs i have a level 80 with some level 134 items embarasing…. i just gote my coldweather flying skill but i cant afford the epic flying mount due to to incredible 5000 g im trying to spare up to 500g but i can only make around 100 g a day with my dailys i relly suck at the AH since i cant make good money i dont know where to farm in northrend and what i should farm should i farm cloth items ore other? greys ore something else? i found a good quest called wild wyrm slain which gains 16g but i cant afford the epic items ore the mammoth mounts. what i am gonna do i wonder even if i dont wind could you possible send me a email about a some good dailys?
also on the ah is it good to always undercut???
What is the best tip you have in your guide to make great amounts of gold?
i have been watching your videos on making gold. the main question is that when you show yourself in the auction-house and you setting up stuff you want to buy i think you are using the auctioneer add-on. you say you are setting the prices to automatic buy the product when is comes into the auction-house?? and that you don’t even have to be there?? did i miss understand that?? i have played with auctioneer and cant figure that out. How do you set that up??
Scrap the last question lol,
I need my epic flyer and much more great epics that i can buy, just one problem… the cost!
My question is.. Do you think your guide can help noobs like me get this type of money?
It seems great though, keep up the good work with the videos
I also have a question. I am currently on a server with a lower population and as such there are wild swings in the economy. For example, this week wool would sell around 2.5-4 gold per stack but on the weekend the price tumbled to around 1 to 2 silver per piece (20-40 silver per stack). Is there a way to make money off of these when the server is so volatile and unpredictable?
Also, I find the AH flooded with goods on the weekend, how does one go about making their auction stand out with maintaining the market value of thier items (not undercutting the lowest piece)?
Thanks,
Jeremy
I already earn 10k plus a week using other methods in the AH. How can your system help me take the leadership in my AH and totally OWN it.
And from that how do I spend my gold?
Hey Jon
I could really use a guide like yours, i have a full time job and i don’t exactly have that much time to play wow, so i could really use some quick gold with a hour played on the ah, since i constantly find myself short on time to make the money. i need to buy basic consumables and so on, i feel this guide would give me a much better chance to at least have consumable cash for my raiding and repairs.
I was once on the verge of quitting. I was browsing the web looking for my last hope and i saw you Jon YOU! i cliked in and new things changed my wow life forever, i simply love your work and your wow knowledge and this blueprint seems like the thing that can save my wow life the thing that can make people stop calling me “Noob that don’t have enough money to even have enough flasks with me when its raid night”
I realise and respect the fact that it will be hard to choose the 5 winners and i also realise that i almost have 0% chance of actully winning, but i have thought so seroiusly before commenting its just not funny. so please consider my questions which comes here:
How do you usually deal with morons that come online a thursday afternoon thinking “lets drive the prices in ah to the minimum?”
Out of all your techniques which ones have stood the test of being the most profit able ones?
lets say that i can sell 10-20 pets per week at 20-25g. But would I be able to sell more pets if each pet was sold for less, and overall, would I earn more money?
Thanks
Hey, I’m a miner with about 1k and no flying mount, the last times I’ve been making saronite bars and selling them to vendors, is that smart? Heard someone talking about them doing that, but It may only be profitable for the people with epic flying mounts ^_^
Thanks!
Hello Jon,
I fall into your advanced player catagory. However, in viewing your videos I am learning a entirely new way to think about the AH. I see distinct trends arising around holiday events, and am quite certain you already know which these items are. My question involves anticipatory stockpiling of said items. How early should I be looking to start stockpiling? I know price trends suggest a skyrocketing boom is coming? I do understand this would be in addtition to daily purchases and auctioning of pipeline items.
Please help me become the best Massive Gold Player you can. I am already learning so much from your videos. WIth your help I believe I can get there. Thanks!
Where do you keep all your items? I automate loads of stuff and sell my epics at the weekend for higher price and use a “mail mule” character to send stuff to that’s waiting to sell then I can just click “RETURN” and get the stuff back to the auction house mule who does the auctioneering, but it sounds like your pipeline system would need huge number of bags to keep the stuff.
I’ve got all frostweave bags and all bank slots taken with them and it’s still not enough. I average 1700g per day but I’m still looking for ways to make more. Your method sounds different to mine.
Hey there,
Just wondering how you can know when to buy or sell some of the pipelines you’ve been talking about. Will you know because the pct has risen or went down or does the pct change with the pipelines because of its steady change in witch case you need to know the average price and just check it everyday.
Greets
Patrick, you’d be a lot better selling the ore on the AH, selling the bars to the vendor is not the best way.
Heres my problem, with gold being such a problem on my server (androhal) gold is very hard to keep much less earn when it comes to my server. everyon says hit the Ah or get a gatherer proffesion those both cost gold to start with >.>….you see my delima im stuck between a rock and a hard place. please help
Peace- John
How do I use auctioneer search perimeters effectively?
For example, looking for an item(s) to disenchant in order to build up my infinite dust quantities.
Are people basically dumb? Or too lazy for their own good?
I followed your advice & bought a few recipes around the corner in Undercity, and put them on the AH at vastly inflated prices (20+ gold), *** and they all sold ***
When people could just go get them at a few silver themselves…
Hey there again,
Another question: can you combine the color coding of auctioneer with your pipeline method? I’ve always used color coding on the ah and just wondering if you can combine them or not due to not much pct change or something like that.
Greets
It looks like you use the auctionator add-on. Are there any others that you suggest?
Does your system use low priced items from the other faction, bought or moved from the neutral auction houses, which are then sold in the faction’s auction house you are trying to make money in?
How do I determine the best pipline items on my server?
How is auctionator better than aucitoneer?
Is there some way to check to volume of sales on particular items?
How do I keep track of the volatility of certain items? Is there a mod that tracks that?
Hi man!
My question is…. some time ago (like 3-4 months) the good way to earn money for me was farming ores at night
(not realy comfortable :/( But it was enough to get money for better gear and gems. But now a lot things changed, and i cant just get enought money! Everytime i change gear or i need to buy enchants it cost me too much! And i dont want to waste all night farming stupid ores!
So what should i do to earn more and confirmed money?
Should i change my professions (if yes, post me what should i pick)
I tried to make some Auctioner tricks, but i dont have head for this :/
Thanks for reading my comment!
and sorry for my not best english
Greetings from Poland.
Usually one of the things I stumble in using the AH is asking myself should I go ahead and buy my competitors auctions and leave only my auctions in the AH for a reassurance that my auctions will sell. Then of course I’m in a time race hoping that another player doesn’t post the same pipeline item I posted. So in doing this can this be worth it or like you’ve mention throwing out the money?
Thx,
Greg
Jon
What makes your system different from all of the other Gold Tutors out there?
Most Guides say that sellin all greens in AH is the way to makin money but even after so long of doing it i dont seem to make much, quest grindin takes hrs so what am i doin wrong with AH?
Hey Jonathan,
Just wondering how many pipelines you actually benefit from each day? id like to see really how effective the guide can be. Ive seen two of you current gold pipelines but do you use these all the time or do you choose to use them at specific times like when there is major demand or if its seasonal? And you mention you spend about an hour a day making gold. Is this a generic routine with specific pipelines used or do you just mix them up to try to maximise your profits so you dont flood the AH?
Hopefully i got this in on time lol ^^
Kind Regards,
Lewis
I already use Auctioneer and farm Dailies and some mats to resell and can easily clear 2-4k gold a week, how much additional work would be required by MGB 3.0 to up that to 10k a week?
What’s the best way to sell off Snowfall ink?
In your preview videos, you talk about a strategy where you purchase an item for a vendor for say 60 silver and then sell it at the AH for 10-20 gold. You also talk about players who list there items on AH for far below their value. My question is as a power gold maker, are you focusing on those players who do not do their homework or know the AH system and tools or are you focusing on higher level players who may have a decent understanding of the system but who do not do the work becasue they have deep pockets? Which group provides more gold making opportunities?
In your preview video i noticed you mentioned pipelines.
Do you just hope for someone to sell an item cheap so that you can sell it higher? what if that doesnt happen to often?
In your videos you sold items for a profit of over 30g+. Most of the items i see in the AH are underpriced by barely 80s or 1g. Is it worth investing in those?? or should i just aim for the high sellers which i just havent found on my server yet?
thanks
I have been watching and I have noticed that your pipelines look a lot like a monopoly as in you maintain being the only supplier of a good, so if someone were to also provide the same item for less would it benefit you if you were to buy the item and then post it under your auction for more money?
sup jon u sent me an email my question is where do you go to ask da question to win da gold .
I hear so many story’s about gaining money by profesions, daily’s, grinding, auctioneer.
But how do you realy get the big money, because only daily’s are the most stabile money maker but with a limit of 25 daily’s (+-600G) isn’t such much.
What’s the best method to keep on track of valuable item’s and gaining them? So I will finaly get my epic Fly mount.
Greetz Glenn
Hey, Jon. Love the guides, and the Canadian accent. I play on a VERY LOW population server with many auctioneer’s. Your system seems to be largely based on having numerous pipeline’s that you switch through based on competition, but on my server there is few items that actually move quickly. It is difficult to find enough pipelines to make big gold because of all the competition on the few there is. Anyways what im getting at is do you have any suggestions about beating competition and monopolizing a market?
Thanks, from a fellow Canadian
ive been playing wow for a very long time and never really had much gold, at 70 i had to borrow money for norm flying
and i was wondering how u find the best spots to farm items and were these spots are? also where in game is the best zone to get money
Thanks, Corey England
the things you’ve shown so far seem to work nice, but how do you identify a “pipelne” ?
What about arbitrage? Do you look for them and use them?
Which series of quest do you think gives out the best amount of money for leveling?? How long did it take you to figure out how to acquire large amounts of gold??
Is it more effective to buy the mats for high level cooking and alchemy or to gather them yourself for selling the buff food, flasks, and transmute gems?
Having only seen your MGB3 Gold Video previews, you may cover my question in the full versions but here’s my basic question;
Do you use a systematic approach to finding your pipelines or follow the time consuming trial-and-error method?
Thanks, Mark USA
I am a fairly new player and don’t know which is the best gold making trade. Is there any particular one that is the best?
what is the best class to farm or make money???? Why??
From you intro-videos you state that you play both horde and alliance on your server. Do you recomend that? In what ways does the benefit you in goldmaking?
thanks!
I don’t really have very much gold to play the auction house with so I cant buy very much without going broke. This makes me a little confused on what to buy. Most everything on the AH is priced extremely high. What are some hot items that I can buy low and sell high without going broke?
AWESOME just from watchin ya videos i have impoved my gold intake!!!I think u r me GOLD GOD LOL?????i keep wachin ya vids maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!!!!
Does buying ores and turning them into bars and selling them on AH make any gold?
Thank you for letting me post my question to you.
My question is regarding your long term support for your product. I have bought wow strategy products that at first were very good only to have some change made by blizzard or simply a difference in playstyle of the realm make the original strategy guide obsolete. Few of these products have done more than take my money and run.
Tell me how long you plan to support this product and specifically what you see as possible ways that the massive gold blueprint method would no longer be effective.
Is there any real secret to gold making or is it really just in front of us?
Any benefits to running more than one character at a time? For instance, dual boxing for doubleXdaily gold?
When I tryed the Pipelines in your videos (Brilliant Small Fish etc.) It surprizeingly worked wonders! Mostly i think because of Supply and Demand… But when i tryed your buy low sell *VERY* high method (on no matter what i decided to use) I never sold anything. Do the pipelines have to be items that are suffering withdrals from the AH? Am I just posting them too *HIGH*? Or is it just the server?
Hello Jon,
Your tips and tricks are amazing! when i first found your guild i was struggeling to earn gold, but with the small tips ive gotten ive been mutch more profitable, and the game has become a lot more fun. So far the gold has ben coming in slowley, earning about 75-100 gold a day, and ive got about 2000g extra on my bank, but now that ive got more money to spend on earning money, what do i spend it on? What kind of objects do i buy low and try to sell high?
Thank you
-Mic
¤I was wondering some over the add-ons.
Can you use pipelines and the blueprint at all, without using Auctioneer and Auctionator or any other add-ons at all?
Thank you for all tips you’ve given us!
I cant seem to break the 20K mark on my Banker toon just want to know how u do it. I have been at 20K or around that for a couple months not sure what i am doing wrong.
I have several level 80s, however, grinding gold is the hardest part for me. Not the leveling, gearing, or anything like that. My question is…
Are dailies worth it, or should I be doing something else to make gold?
Hey Jon, I have started searching the auction house this past week to try out your ‘pipeline’ method. But, I haven’t for the most part been finding large jumps in high’s and low’s of prices. Except for in the case of thing like Flask’s of Endless Rage.
I was wondering if in normal items like Titansteel bars for example, should I be finding price changes daily, where I will be able to buy some items in the morning then sell them a few hours later for much more? Or will these changes be over longer periods of times like having a week of high prices and then a couple of weeks with low ones.
Also do changes of prices form trends normally, where you can predict which days to buy in and which days to sell in? (Like sell Monday-Wednesday, buy Thursday-Sunday)
I was just wondering about the function of addons like Auctionator, I heard you talk about it briefly in one of your videos and was curious to learn more about. Is it necessary for maximising your profits on the Auction House because my computer is very slow and having too many addon’s causes big problems in-game so I try and limit my self to the neccessities.
The above comment is from this email and not the one stated, I am on a friends computer who also plays WoW, and we both sent in our seperate comments but I forgot to change the email. Thanks for your consideration. (Ill the question below.)

How do you decide which items to pipeline? I know you mentioned wool cloth and I’ve seen it go extremely high in the ah. Do you farm the wool then sell it?
i just started my gold “farming” and i saw that frost weave was really cheap i bought out the stakes spent 400g about 8g a stack and re-posted for 15g a stack, then i checked my AH the next day and saw i was undercut very bad. my question is whats the right way to buyout, and how do you recover from such a big loss. and yes 400g is a big loss to me haha.
I was wondering in your guide do you tell us what are good ways to make money or good things to sell to make money?(very important which one it is) and do you say if you use certain addons to make purchasing items easier in th auction house?
I like looking for auctions that have less than 12 hours to go with a really low bid placing the item price less than 20% of market. The best items I found are metal/ore and herbs. I especially like it when the buyout is waaaayyy over priced, but the bid is really low. I have made some crazy profits doing this method with minimal risk. So, the question: What add-on can make this less painful to do? I use the Auctioneer right now and it is pretty complex and I haven’t seen a way to do this yet.
——————
Justin
Just dump your frost weave as fast as you can to get back in the game. I did something similar with Truesilver just to get stacks placed on top of my auctions. Ended up taking a nice loss. I have learned to stay away from certain items that are flooded; ie there are lots of it, and the item is farmed frequently by players. I also, try my best to double my gold on anything I buy in the auction house at minimum. Seems to work well most of the time. I will go for less if I can get a quick turn around.
I have noticed that the Adamantite Breastplate and bracers my blacksmith makes sell EVERY time I put them in the AH, and usually for well over 100G. Does your guide have a section on Items that are favored by twinks?
is auctioning the only way? can a lvl 1 character realy start with nothing and make 100G quickly?
Which aution house should i use to sell recipes/ created items/ epic items?
id like to know what items i need to make and sell i do leatherwork and tayloring, im forever spend more than i make on my talents thanks for your help
craig, silvermoon sever isnt very kind as a lot of my items come back and it costs me 50 to 100 gold when i put my auctions through
How do you transfer gold from realm to realm if you have toons on 4 different realms?
There are different amounts of time available (12h, 24h, 48h) at which you can place an item at the AH. Sometimes the AH fee can get quite high when you put something up for 48h. Do you ’switch’ between different AH times or do you always keep the same time (like say 24h) and do you take in to account the amount of gold lost when you don’t sell items that you’ve payed a high AH fee for?
Will this guide even work?
I’m always stuck with around 20g on most of my 80 characters. I do lots of raids and spend most of my money on repairs or upgrades. I don’t know a way to make money fast enough to keep it from going down the drain. This guide seems to be the thing to get. What do I do?
Hi Jonathon,
Thanks for the videos. They have been very informative. I’m just wondering if there is a money back guarantee if the guide doesn’t work for me.
hi john,
i know the competition is over but i just recently bumped in to the site http://www.wowecon.com and i would love to know what your give and take on this website is.
thx
Since you got all these tutorials. How do you find the Strategy to earn much money in low time.? You most have over 120 IQ. Or you got an squad thats making new strategys every day. ?
-FjuskN
Hey there
How do you get the maximum profit if someone has farmed an item and has put the price at about 100%ptc (if i recall correct) and has put the items in bunches of 2 ?
Hey you dont need to reply to this comment, BUT I do want an email replying or something, I just did some math, 24(7)=hours per week(h) 10,000 gold/week (g)
h=168 g=10,000
g/h = gold per hour
10,000/168 = 59.523…
So what this means is that your average gold per hour is 59g… Not that impressive, I could do better farming !
I play the Auction house for Horde & Alliance, I also dabble in the N-AH. How can I tell if something would sell better in one AH vs another?
Hi! During my recent months of chemotherapy, I’ve been playing WoW quite a bit. Ive been reading about your guide, and it seems as though it works very well. I hope this comment isn’t too late for the contest.
My question is this:
–What are the best items to sell on the AH?
Since I don’t have your amazing guide yet, I honestly have no idea how to manipulate the AH, and I would really love to know how. Thanks,
Lazerlionz
Hey again! :)Forgot to ask this one
How do you know what other players want and what they are willing to give for that i mean its kinda strange to go around and ask
what i need 2 farm 2 make easy gold or what professions i need …..lol…….
How do u know when to save gold and put it aside ? lol i just cant save my gold for some reason :D.
How do u know what is worth vaule of selling and what is not ?
Also what addons do you use??
Hiya,
Just wondering , if i’m correct it’s the 10th today so 2 questions pop in my mind.
I if i “download” your guide in say 10m will i have acces to 3.0 ?
II at what time will you post the winners ?? (pls post time zone alongside’s)
I too would like to know when the winners are announced, and when the day-long discount will be.. its 9:15PM for me at the moment..
How do I learn what/when to buy and then resell to make money… without going cross-eyed from staring at page after page in the auction house every single day, in a vain effort to memorize prices/trends?
Well, I have about 400g now and im only level 67. I dont know where or how to grind and i dont know how to ” milk ” the auction house. I wanted to know what addons to use, What is the best items to buy, How to buy them, When to buy them and what price to buy them at. Also i want to know what Professions to take and how to level them. Please Respond back if You ever get time.
Thank you
Darkdeathx
Hi. I have a level 80 and only about 900g at the moment. I would really appreciate knowing how I find the right items in the Auction House. I’ve tried to do the buy-low-sell-high method before but it never turns out well because I have no idea what to buy.
Thanks
Nieodeimus
How do you know what items are good to sell and what aren’t? I have a nice amount of gold, but I still can’t really buy anything good. Thanks!
You mention that professions are not worth skilling up.
I have an alt with 450 in alchemy.. I bought in AH really cheap gems (Scarlet ruby, autumns glow etc) for just a few gold..
Then I transmute them into cardinal ruby, kings amber etc and sell them for around 130 - 160gl a piece.. I agree on the hazzle with the cooldown but it still gives me on only that char a profit of around 1000gl a week, while investing only between 70-120gl and 30 sec of transmuting the items aday. It doesn’t give me 10K a week, but I’m doing some AH work on the side as well,, but need to understand how to use the auctioneer and auctionator better, so in any case I’m looking forward to your guide
Cheers /Fred
gezz a chance to win all this pick me pick me please pick me.Have a level 74 death knight and still cant fly in northrend gezzz i need this bad.
I’m still lost about both the getting gols and using the aucion house. I have 2 boys that also play and they get very fustrated. Help me!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Jon,
Thank you for sharing your secrets with us.
My question is: I have about 4000g to work with and I can see the ebb and flow of some really nice items I could be using as a pipeline, but at what price do I purchase these items and should I buy a lot at one time or wait it out for a while and get them over time and post them all at once or just a few at a time? I can see the potentail but do not know how to begin and do I need a stockpile to begin my moneymaking? I would appreciate any feedback you have and thanks again for your time.
In the last speed gold run you where challenged by 10 other players to make the most gold in 30 days. The hightest amount over those 30 days was 8800G, you came in 4th with 4978G. Those are nice amounts but they’re far less than 10.000 a week.
How does it come that none of you (you included :-p ) didn’t make 10.000 a week or even 10.000 in that month?
This is not a negative comment, I’m just wondering why the amounts didn’t went up to numbers like 25.000 or higher when the MGB was used.
Hey Dirk - I’m trying to save my answers for the videos, but I better respond to this one right away, so no one gets the wrong impression.
1. The Gold Speed Run II you are mentioning was in June 2008, before WotLK expansion, and the economy of WoW was much lower range in those days. My benchmark gold-per-hour then was 200 gph, and nowadays it has gone up to 1000 gph.
2. The Gold Speed Run starts everyone from scratch on a new server, with no toons and no gold. Needless to say, it takes most of the 30 days to start building up a good bankroll and get some higher-profit pipelines going. 5,000g - 10,000g in 30 days, pre-WotLK, and starting from scratch… those were astronomically high numbers.
BTW, all 10 competitors made several thousand gold each in the 30 days. All starting at zero, with no toons.
- Jon
P.S. - I’m not promising anything, but the idea is floating around to do Gold Speed Run III after MGB 3.0 goes live on Nov. 12… you might want to check that out
i have tried everything i switch my professions to others cause i thought it would help me make gold but it didnt it made me waste gold how do i make like 100 in an hour?
I never received the Pipelines video… I got video secret #2 and #4, but never #3… am I the only one like that?
i have played for 3 years now, and people in my guild make fun of me cause i cant afford epic armorin the ah. how can i earn fast gold? im in des need.
Hi there, I have looked at applying your methods to my gold making, all to no avail. I follow the idea that I grab stuff on the market for low prices, then wait for what I consider to be the peak of the prices to repost for profit. Only problem is I have 2 problems stemming from 1 problem. Basically, my servers economy is extremely stable, due to the high population, it is very elitist and people know what they are doing. waht this has caused is lack of fluctuation in prices, and although I only started watching your guides recently I have been following the economy for a long time now. I have attempted to purchase bargains but they all seem to be the ones with no buyouts on them, which hinders me as I cannot simply watch 48 hour auctions drain down. If I cannot find low prices on items which I have considered to be always in demand, how can I make the money without making 1 silver per auction. A lot of the problem comes from what can be called “flooding of the market” but everything that sells is extremely abundant due to the numbers of people, so very rarely will prices shift. Obviously people are undercutting each other slightly but the rate of which items are flowing out of the AH it struggles to make an impact on overall pricing range as the more “expensive” stacks are becoming the cheapest again as the cheaper ones sell extremely fast. I really need some help and so far I do not feel convinced that this guide can work for me. Any help is appreciated
Hey i have been trying all your pipelines and diffrent ways of makeing gold.Sadly it seems i never get enough money to make it worth my time on the ah i make about 100g a day and i do every thing you suggested. i don’t know what am doing wrong for example:i buy 5 titansteel bars for about 130g ea then sell then for about 150g (i don’t have money to buy more)= my gold output for the day.I guess what i am asking you if you know any thing that sells for a good amount gold and moves constantly.Thanks
so if I use this can i play the AH for more then 1 hour a day and still make more and more gold like if i play 2 hours a day can i get 20,000 a week?
My question is: After farming for hours, buying and reselling in the auction house, and vendoring all grey items. How is it possible to get in the 10k’s of gold? I can get up to a couple thousand but with repairs and buying mats that I may need for an upgrade… I just can’t seem to keep my gold up at all and all this hard work I put into accumulating the gold seems worthless.
is it possible to make 10k gold in a week by not doing a pipeline?
Do you buy everything had one or over time?
How do you make a huge profit with so little G to begin with. I only have 200 or so gold and i cant buy anything that i can make a profit off of. Do u have any suggestions?
whats best time to scan the auction house some video seen said only do it in morning ? and not to do it at peak hours . because of the over stocking
Whats the best way to earn gold in the least amount of time with the least amount of work to do or a lot of work to do in a little bit of time and get a ton of gold? Basically a simple question. How do i get easy gold?
How can i make much gold with only being busy with auction house for 5 minutes/day? :p
How Do I Make Gold, I Am Very Poor.
I Don’t Know How To Play The AH I Don’t Have The Guide And People Always Bug Me About Me Not Having Any Gold.
Right now i am broke and trying to fund 2 raiding characters. Right now I am just doing dailys for money but not only is it boring but time consuming. What do u recomend to get started with playing the AH. Ive tried before but it always seems like i buy low and sell lower b/c people always come in and undercut me. I play on a very highly populated server so there is a few people that control varying aspects of the economy and they have a spare 75k gold to do it with. How does a new guy compete with that? Thanks alot I love hearing your videos.
i really don’t care about the free copy. But if you could e-mail the answer to this i would appreciate it. My main is a level 20 Warrior and i am finding it hard to even train yet-alone buying upgrades in armor.
What are some whys for low levels to gain gold fast. Thank you
Hi you have all this great info in how you are selling the items. how about some great info on how to buy at low. when to buy, how to, any way of doing.
How do i use the AH to my advantage? How do you undercut people and how do you raise the price of an item you are trying to sell?
Are the level 70 daily’s on of the best ways to make money if you don’t have wrath of the lich king or should i farm instances(highest i can solo is strat and scholomance) instead. I would like to know what is a better use of my time.
- Flat Economy -
I am wondering
~(1) Is it common to come across an economy that simply does not have the price ranges sought by the MGB (buy at ~50% and sell at ~100%)
~(2) How do you cope with such an economy that appears very flat on most items. The price fluctuations from highest to lowest are rarely more than 15% deviation. The only exception (on my server) seems to be on very low end mats which don’t offer much of an earning potential.
What is the cheapest item buyable from vendors and scales the most on the price on auction house compared to the original price bought from the vendors?
How can you know for sure, and feel safe, about how an item will sell? For example, on my server, i was thinking about buying out the 5-6 crusader orbs that were available and selling them back for about 50g more, but they had been there for a long time, and i ended up not doing it because i was afraid of simply losing that 5-600g. So is there any concrete way of knowing without camping the AH?
