WoW: Auctioneer - It doesn’t get better than this
Well, once again WoW is unplayable. And, in prime time no less. I tried to find something else to do, like cancel my EQII account or play Morrowind, but nothing is working out - yawn. I guess this is as good a time as any to explain how I got rich in WoW.
First, I’m not really rich yet. The last week or two have been hard to play, for everybody, so making money has been difficult as well. After a month I’ve gone from 3 gold to 413 gold. My highest character is a level 22 priest, but he’s only made 62 gold, the slacker. My auction house mule is a level 14 horde Druid who had 351 gold the last time I could check. My Druid is completely cashed out. I sent anything that could be dis-enchanted to the Priest and sold the rest to the nearest NPC. I’m going on vacation Saturday and I didn’t want to carry any stock.
Initially, I intended to use a spreadsheet or database to track auctions. Searching the web for ideas, I found a program called “Auctioneer”, an add-on for WoW. It is amazing. It scans all items at auction and creates a database. Over time, and multiple scans, the database can accurately report the normal price range for an item. It can also provide you with a list of items you can purchase, at cut rate prices, and potentially make a profit selling. Plus, much, much more. I couldn’t begin to list everything Auctioneer does for you. If you are interested…
BTW my Priest made that 62 gold in one week buying stuff at auction, that was worth more dis-enchanted than the buy out price, and selling the components. Enchantrix, which comes with the Auctioneer package, gives you the information to pull this off.
