Metatron finally reached Goldcap

So this is it.

I already got cap yesterday evening (Oct.19.2009) but I had no time to post something. It took at least 8 weeks from 20k investment gold to reach the cap. So it is quite easy, so I am looking forward to achieve 500k and maybe 1kk Gold ^^





This means that this is my new "Zero Gold Line" and I dont want to drop below. I am preparing dual speccs for my alts, a chopper and going to "The Insane" Achievement for my warlock. I finally found a farmer for Heavy Junkboxes for 10g/each. So that makes 14k Gold for Ravenholdt Revered to Exalted.

I grab every Pristine Black Diamond for under 60g and I am looking for librams at the AH (mostly they go for 1s bid. I only have to camp them :) ).

Reaching the firtst goal

First of all, I had a busy week so I couldn't post that much. So i give you a summary of my week so far.

I'm struggling around 206k gold right now with a 1k stock of ink left. A friend of mine started to farm herbs to make money and I told him to sell everything to me or he has to use it for himself. So he crafted 6 decks of nobles and other stuff and had a stock of 1,5k Ink over and he sold it to me for 35g.

So for this weekend I had a lot of Ink and I have setup my QA for the future cause of my big stock of glyphs. I have crafted a stack of 15 of every glyph I can craft. That costs me 2k Ink and 6 hours of crafting. It is just a pain to craft such a huge amount of glyphs in a row, but cause of preparing for the "Crash my server" strategy (posting 10 glyphs in a cycle of 48h hours at 3g threshold and 6g fallback) I need a big amount of glyphs.


I think I will reach my frist goal (goldcap) on monday or at least on tuesday and I am in week 7 of starting to make gold. If I keep this up until the addon will be released it can be something around 1kk (Zam I am coming!!!).


Something Off-Topic:
The new JMTC Channel is just awesome. It is a lot faster for talking about strategies to take over your AH, coding new features for your addons and make speculations for upcoming events. It is a lot of fun to talk about with people all over the world with the same passion to make gold.

I also started my way to achieve Insane in the Membrane. I bought 15 Pristine Black Diamond and some librams for Shen'dralar reputation.

Introducing Pt.2

So I play a Rogue since the early US-Beta and never played a other Class. I started with a Dwarf Rogue but changed the faction last week and joined a raid guild. We cleared ToC hc 4/5 and Im also a PvP Player(S1/S2 top 10 and in Wotlk #1 on Our realm).

I know Metatron since i changed the Realm and helped him with his Battlemaster Achievement. We talked alot over ICQ about much things going on in WoW. I just ended with WoW in 3.1 and rerolled ago 3 weeks and he told me how much gold he made and i was just impressed but i had no chance to make gold on Alliance on our Realm. But then the Service to change the fraction came to EU and my Dwarf changed to a UD.

My UD got only Mining cause i unlearnd engineering after the stealth detection nerf. So i thought how i could make gold with mining and i found the first way: I farmed Saronit and Titanium at Wintergrasp and a friend crafted 30 Eternal Belt Buckle and lots of Titanium Weapon Chain. I sold every 30 Belt Buckle on the first day but i notice that i made to many Titanium Weapon chain's. My friend crafted new Eternal Belt Buckle and i sold them again very fast.

I just got some competition but it was no Problem and i made 1684 gold with it. I only sold 7 Weapon chains and made 484 gold with them but i still have 44 and notice that i need an other way to use the Titanium ore and there is my next plan:

I still make Eternal Belt Buckle but i dont craft any Weapon chains. I prospect about 50% of the Titanium Ore for Epic gems and the other 50% are for Titansteel Bars and will be used to craft Epic stuff like here.

Introducing Pt.1

So today we start up with introducing myself, talk about my goals, my tactics and other topics.

About me
So my name is Metatron, playing WoW since early release (no, no beta player) and made a lot of raiding and pvp over these past years on a german PvP server (german native language - I hope my english is well enough ^^). Cause of this history, I was looking for something new and after searching on sides like www.wow.com I found an article of Gevlon from Greedy Goblin and I loved his writing about to be a goblin and how easy it is to make a lot of money in no time.
In the past, I made gold with doing daylies for reputation or grinding for vanity items and the first bigger step was grinding for my loremaster achievement and I was the first person (tailor) on our server who got the Deathchill Cloak. I made over 14k gold in 2 weeks and I only take fees for crafting them. After that, I bought everything I could get for my money (Travelers, Ice Mammoth and other stuff) and I got lazy on my money.
After reading Gevlons articel about his inscription market, I made a choice that I am going to make money without farming for it. So I checked my characters:

Metatron (Warlock) - Tailoring 450 (every recipe ingame) / Alchemy 450 (Potion - every recipe ingame)
Ertael (Druid) - Herbalism 450 / Mining 450
Faqual (Shaman) - Alchemy 450 (Transmute) / Inscription 450 (still in research)
Rusyuna (DK) - Enchanting 350 / Blacksmithing 230

At this time I checked my characters, I had no Inscription up, so I started my buisiness with cleaning up my own guildbanks. That brought me a nice start up cache of 10k gold. After that I bought epicgems with my honor and emblemes of 4 lvl80 chars and got on patch day a stock up of 160 epicgems. I searched for a jewelcrafter and I set up my stock for season 7 arena start and on next patch day, I made 20k gold in 2 days.

With this 30k gold I lvled my inscription, bought every book of glyph mastery for 100g and bought a lot of herbs. I am researching every day and I got 83% of all glyphs. After 6 weeks in Inscription now, I am at 180.000 gold. You read right. 6 Weeks and up from 30k to 180k gold. Thats 600%+ over this 6 week, 100% profit each week.



What to expect?
- Two diffrent writer on one blog

- Interessting storys about low populated servers (high pop are always so impersonal)

- gold making

- PvE/PvP storys

- Farming/Gold making tips



About my goals
My goal in the first step is to reach the gold cap javascript:void(0)mark. Quit easy at this point. If it keeps up like this then this mark is in no far future. After reaching it, I will go for the next vanity parts for my Warlock (I am an extreme Achievementhunter - 9,1k points without raiding Ulduar/ToC). My lock is going for a chopper and the Achievement Insane in the Membrane and I am buying my alts dual specc + epic flying.

I will keep in mind that my goldcap will be a new zero line (like 00g00s00c) cause of my goblinism ^^


At all, I hope you will enjoy my writing about my way to achieve my goals in the long term and I think, my partner is going to post his story today too

The beginning...

...of something big? ^^ So today I start another "new" blog for gold making.

So you ask what is so special about our blog? Maybe you already checked the Contributors part on the right side, so I am not alone. A friend of mine started his gold making this week and asked me for tips cause I am one of the big inscription names on our server and he wanted to start a blog but don't know a topic.

So we talked a bit about a topic and thought that it would be nice to make a blog about our gold making life. And here it is ^^ I think the overall topic is self explaining and now everyone will write his expectations and thoughts about making gold on a low populated server like ours.

I hope I have your interests and we will begin tonight with an discription of ourselfs ^^
