How to Make Gold on WoW 5.4.8

[shrek15001]

Hello everyone. I am making this guide because many people always come up to me and ask me for gold. I have been generous and have passed out a lot of gold. How ever when you gain nothing back from it in return it gets old fast.

1. Addons

Addons are tools to help you out in many ways in this case we are going to choose from a few addons to help you out on making gold.

To insure that you have the least amount of errors i have made sure to choose addons for 5.4.8 or the ones closes to 5.4.8 and no higher.

Auctioneer Suite
http://legacy.curseforge.com/media/files/798/212/AuctioneerSuite-5.20.5464.zip

This addon makes all thoughs difficult auctioning choises so you don't have to.

Bagnon
http://legacy.curseforge.com/media/files/783/154/Bagnon_5.4.15.zip

Not nessaserly needed but helps out with all your bags by making them one big one.

Routes
http://www.wowace.com/media/files/697/771/Routes-v1.4.2-8-g4b93fad.zip

Routes allow you to draw lines on the worldmap linking nodes together into an efficient farming route from existing databases from gathermate.

Gathermate
http://www.wowace.com/media/files/732/647/GatherMate2-1.27.zip
http://www.wowace.com/media/files/634/517/GatherMate_Sharing-v1.7.zip
http://www.wowace.com/media/files/817/642/GatherMate2_Data-v23.2.zip

This addon makes farming a lot easier as it remembers the location of all the nodes you have farmed.

Looter
http://legacy.curseforge.com/media/files/685/223/Looter.zip

As long as the blizzard auto-loot is off this well loot anything even in party.

Masque
http://www.wowace.com/media/files/736/862/Masque-v5.4.396.zip

Just a dependancy for bagnon nothing more.

Passloot
http://www.wowace.com/media/files/637/319/PassLoot-r139.zip

Basicly an autoroller for need, greed, and dissenchant. How ever if you rolled need on something you didnt need you can just trade it to the one who needed it the most or the one with the higher roll on it to be fair.

Postal
http://www.wowace.com/media/files/815/601/Postal-v3.5.2.zip

great addon just for going thourgh all your in game mail and picks everything out of them for you so you dont have to click them one at a time.

Scrap
http://legacy.curseforge.com/media/files/809/606/Scrap_12.13.zip

Mainly used as a dependacy for bagnon but does the same thing as selljunk but it does have an autorepair feature I like so it has its uses.

Selljunk
http://www.wowace.com/media/files/756/712/SellJunk-3.0.10.zip

The main addon I use for getting rid of all my junk does so in 12 at a time or all at once I perfer 12 at a time because some servers cant handle everything all at once.

UsefullExtras
http://legacy.curseforge.com/media/files/685/225/UsefulExtras.zip

Mainly use this for its automount feature at random this way you don't have to switch bars for attack.

I'm pretty sure there are other addons that I am missing but this is all of them for now.


2. Macros
These macros well help Inscribers and Jewelcrafters

Better Milling/Prospecting Macros (Never fail on stacks less than 5 again!)

Essentially this is a two-part macro. Rather than getting stuck in your bags when you hit an uneven stack of herbs/ore, it will skip them and move on to larger stacks further on in your bags. It will also update your current icon to show whichever herb you are milling/prospecting and however much you have left.

Milling

MILLING MACRO 1
(Can be named whatever you want, and just needs to run once upon login)

Code:

/run function FnH() for i=0,4 do for j=1,GetContainerNumSlots(i) do local t={GetItemInfo(GetContainerItemLink(i,j) or 0)} if t[7]=="Herb" and select(2,GetContainerItemInfo(i,j))>=5 then return i.." "..j,t[1] end end end end

MILLING MACRO 2
Main Milling macro. IT MUST BE TITLED "Milling2" without the quotations

Code:

/run local f,l,n=AuM or CreateFrame("Button","AuM",nil,"SecureActionButtonTemplate") f:SetAttribute("type","macro") l,n=FnH() if l then f:SetAttribute("macrotext","/cast Milling\n/use "..l) SetMacroItem("Milling2",n) end /click AuM

Prospecting

PROSPECTING MACRO 1

Prospecting Macro 1(Can be named whatever you want, and just needs to run once upon login)

Code:

/run function FnO() for i=0,4 do for j=1,GetContainerNumSlots(i) do local t={GetItemInfo(GetContainerItemLink(i,j) or 0)} if t[7]=="Metal" and select(2,GetContainerItemInfo(i,j))>4 then return i.." "..j,t[1] end end end end

PROSPECTING MACRO 2
Main Prospecting macro. IT MUST BE TITLED "Prospecting2" without the quotations

Code:

/run local f,l,n=AuP or CreateFrame("Button","AuP",nil,"SecureActionButtonTemplate") f:SetAttribute("type","macro") l,n=FnO() if l then f:SetAttribute("macrotext","/cast Prospecting\n/use "..l) SetMacroItem("Prospecting2",n) end /click AuP

3. Professions

There are 11 main professions to choose from and can be hard at times to choose from all 11 so these well be broken down into main professions and alternate professions.


Professions

Herbalism
Mining
Skinning
Tailoring
Alchemy
Blacksmithing
Enchanting
Engineering
Jewelcrafting
Leatherworking
Inscriptioning

I well make things easier on your choosing

Main
Herbalism

Alt
Alchemy
Inscriptioning


Main
Mining

Alt
Blacksmithing
Engineering
Jewelcrafting


Main
Tailoring

Alt
Enchanting


Main
Skinning

Alt
Leatherworking
Tailoring

If you still cant choose after this then go with Mining and Herbalism rest is up to you


4. Loot

Can help you make gold in the game but not as much as your professions.
While some loot can make you a lot of gold others can not

Transmog sets are another way to make gold in game with a max gold limit of 2000 gold per transmog item some people well get carried away and throw it in for 10k gold or more and that well never sell in the auction house.

Poor (Greys)
Common (Whites)
Uncommon (Greens)
Rare (Blues)
Epic (Purples)
Legendary (Oranges)
Artifact Near future to be red and not light gold
Heirloom took the place of the artifacts (Light Gold)

More info on quality items at http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Quality

Anyways sell all poor and common items to venders

Throw anything that is Green and above in the AH (Auction House)

If they don't sell you can make your depositing gold back by selling the the venders.

Not much said about the loot but there you have it.


5. Quests

Quest are another way to make gold in game especially dailies.

These Blue quests provide gold based on Quest and or difficulty level. Tol Barad is a great place to make some gold as well as many Pandaria dalies such as shado pan dailies.

This is all you needed to know for quests

By utilizing this guide you can make at last 50k in gold a day some can make more.

I like your guide, although the only thing I would suggest is to use a different color on the addon names, that dark blue is a little unreadable. Try something lighter, like green.

Other than that, I like it all.
