Experiment Setting, Let the Trading Begin
The idea is to make gold.
from trading other than grind and farm
I gather stockpiled all my unused items, and 300g for starting this experiment.
Pickup my 5lv Shaman left behind, and start moving to the Big City Stormwind.
My Lead Researcher
There is no reason that Why I pick this class or race, it’s a concedent that I left her behind.
However I found that a Female Shaman do a great job as a Bank Alt (for Alliance)
despite of had to get to level 5.
- “She” is always better than a “He”
on a male player saturated gameworld, an appreance of a female character did have some advantage.
When it come to direct trade, people seems to be nicer to her.
And when she asked for a free guild charter signature, she only got 50% reject (and I do ask nicely) - Hey I am here!
She is tall and with a Electric Ball flying around her. Very easy to spot in a crowd.
For any reason someone need to find her. (mostly for direct trade)
They can spot her in no time.
Equipment
[item]Netherweave Bag[/item] x 7 (@5g)= 35g
(I only bought 3 bank slot, since budget is low)
[itemico]Bank Voucher[/itemico] Bank x 3 (10s,1g,10g) = 11g
[item]Guild Charter[/item] Guild = 10s
[itemico]Bank Voucher[/itemico] Guild Bank x 1 = 100g
Total : 146g
I then had 98 +7×16 =210 slots more than my default.
Then I populate the banks with all the trash I got from
my two toons. one lv79 and one lv80.
Since I was leveling as a pack rat, lots of green armor was stored in their bankI got 77 green armor from mail, and can only able to fit 50% of the goods into the bank
(To be honest, there are 22 piece armor of 77 is at lv 73-80, which already yield 200-400g profits later, after disenchanting)
While I had to get rid of those 77 green armor (in fact there are more in the mail box, range from 10-80 lv OMG)
Luckily I got a friendly enchanter in the guild, and I asked him to disenchant 22 of the highest level armor for me.
I got more space to breath.
And I had listed some goods I know will always be sale on AH
e.g. [itemico]Copper Ore[/itemico], [itemico]Copper bar[/itemico], Leathers, Herbs…
Then I start looking for sweet deals to gather some stock of the those goods
for (< 40% of market price)
Since those popular goods is already occupied my bank,
there is a higher chance, those slot gap can fit them ![]()
And I know they can be sold later in a good price.
May be
I’ll talk about how do I get out of those flooding goods next time
(One may consider I had starting budget of 1000g. But well, some of them are stockpile, and I had to get rid of them)
