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

This is definitely working for me so far.

I don't have much time to play so these timeframes would probably be compressed for someone with more time.

I grabbed an alt four weeks ago. I sent him 150g from my main and leveled enchanting through DEs only as I leveled him up to 20. I finished leveling to 20 last weekend and I had about 200g in the bank. The only things I bought were gear so my alt wouldn't get wasted while grinding and questing. Probably less than 10g worth. I blew some money on arcane crystals for my main. I scanned the AH twice a day.

This morning I broke 400g and had about 200g worth sitting in the AH. I login and scan in the morning while I'm getting dressed for work. I do a quick scan for short durations as there is usually good money to be made there. Then I scan much as ohmikeghod did, by level. I resell about 1/4-1/2 of what I win bidding and DE the rest. The only time I buyout is when the lister clearly mispriced the auction and it sells well below HSP. Incidentally, I hold on to those for one day in case the lister realizes the mistake and wants it back.

The only thing I would add for people who haven't watched the AH much is, when you look at the item, see how many times it has been listed. Be leery of items that have only been listed a few times. It doesn't mean that the price isn't right but you could be listing it for way too much (and lose money) or you could be listing for way too little (and lose money).

So, after a month, and leveling an alt from 0 to 225 in enchanting with 150 seed money, I'm going to say this definitely works.

ok then:) Actually I am working on a tool that would calculate the prices for you in javascript (since I dont know the addon coding so well). I will prolly finish it in a few weeks since my vacation is starting. This also means I will do a whole remake on the site and the guide.

Contact me if you want to help with it.

have auctioneer and enchantrix 4.0+

jus wanderin how come when i scan / and turn on bttm scanner it doesnt show the armor or weapons that i can disenchant for profit only shows items that i can resale

referring to the popup with the door bell sound lol if that helps

k downloaded the new version installed and now when i scan the AH only things that pops up are for resale dont see anything that pops up for me to disenchant into mats for profit

I would like to Thank Veliv for this thread. Today, I had enough gold to purchase my Epic Flyer! Now I'm poor again, but only for a very short time.

i saw a freakin 18 sword up for 200g

Congrats!

I just wanted to ask about competition. I play on 2 servers, and the bid market on green items seems incredibly fierce. My alt is level 30, so he can only disenchant items up to level 63. I can hardly hold down bids, and it seems there are many people rolling high in the disenchanting market. Any tips for trying to break into the market better? Should I be bidding a little higher? For example, I like trying to bid 3g and under for items 58-63. I can go through in a morning, afternoon, make about 60 bids...I might win 4 of them. Should I raise my bidding limit to 3.4 gold for example?

This is a great system. It's allowed me to buy my first mount and has turned my DE alt into a decent twink!

I've used some of my mats to level up, enabling me to DE up to 175 now and it has really expanded the types and numbers of items I'm buying. I highly recommend doing that. Just go five levels at a time and you'll still have enough mats left over to auction.

On my server, all the mats seem to sell well most of the time, though all have 'cannot match lowest price' occasionally. I just wait a bit and the next time I scan, that's cleared up.

One question though. Is there a way to move the auction house window? I'd like to move it to one corner of the screen to allow me to view my percentless list more completely, instead of 5-6 at a time.

for your movement question, check out wowinterface or curse-gaming there should be an addon there that lets you move your windows.

Good for you. I think doing it with a bank alt makes little sense, myself. At least with a playing alt (or even a main) you will get to increase the range of items you can disenchant as you progress through game levels and enchanting skill levels.

My 2nd main (used to be an alt but now I'm bored with my pally) is doing the DE thing but also levelling. With a starting stipend of 5g, he's now over 300g and that's only within a couple of weeks. So that's the gear and mount paid for up to level 50+. By the time I hit 70, I figure I'll have enough to buy that epic flying mount straight off.

To Anobix that was way back in the beggining when they were talking about low lvl stuff up for high prices, sorry for the confusion.

Are you using the /enchantrix commands to bring up the list of disenchantables?

/enchantrix percentless
/enchantrix bidbroker
