MAKE MON EY FAST!!!!one

[moopy]

Ok, I'd like some opinions, as I can't decide..

I have some gold kicking about, enough to spend on an epic flyer, and a couple of different characters for whom it would be useful. However, I'd like to be able to use it to make enough money to buy an epic flyer for the other toon.

One of the characters is a herbalist/enchanter. Herbalism is a good solid money maker, if you can get around quickly- we all know that. However, the other character is a miner/engineer. Mining is profitable, if you can get to the nodes- and engineering means that you can harvest gas clouds to gather primals at a surprising speed (generally faster than killing mobs for the motes).

So, my dilemma is this.. Do I get the herbalist or the miner/engineer the epic flyer? Which do you think would make money fastest, to equip the other?

Answers on a postcard :)

give it to the miner.

Does any of your characters sport fishing ? Fishing + Cooking + Riding 300 = I.W.I.N.

I've been looking to make money for my epic flyer too, and my fishing is 350 and cooking is around that lvl too, how is fishing faster than farming primals?

Also: Go mining, and get those goggles that make gas clouds show up on your map with map zoomed out as far as possible, works wonders. I farmed 4 primals airs in nagrand yesterday just passing through.

On my server it's hard to farm primals by hunting. The areas are camped with farmers.

For fishing most people go Terokkar. Doing dailies, circling to wait for one fishing node to pop. Nagrand on the other hand is quite empty. Partially because there's no good reason to go here but fishing.

On my server Nagrand fishes sell less than Terokkar fishes. The sheer quantity makes up for it. Also Nagrand nodes can spawn as pure water anywhere. Fishing worth 5 baubles makes average 80 fishes, 40 water motes and a bag of assorted stuff. Some scrolls do sell gold in AH, some gray fishes vendor 6 gold =).

The miner/engineer has the epic engineering goggles (it's a hunter, so the goggles are a no-brainer) which makes spotting motes easy.

As for the fishing/cooking- I didn't ask about this as I have been too lazy to level these on any of my toons- way too lazy. Maybe I will, I dunno. That would be additional. The question is whether the miner/engineer or the herbalist should get the flyer- either can learn to fish. Herbs, ore and primals all sell like crazy, hence my dilemma.

A point to note is that herbalists can make out like bandits in skettis anyway, killing and herbing those big trees- an hour there can net five primal life and several stacks of herbs with no real effort, for example.

Miner/engineer, easily.

It does not matter. You will get your next epic flyer in a few days so either one is good.

My first epic flyer is 13 days played (herb/alch/fishing/cooking) and the 2nd one (enchant/tailor) is 15 days played. It would be about 2 weeks in RL time.

I would suggest to buy the epic flyer for the mining toon though.

Thanks for your thoughts, ladies, gentlemen and the cheerfully gender ambiguous- much appreciated :)

IMO opinion it all depends on which is more common on your server. For example, on my server, the number of miners greatly outweighs the number of herbalists. So much, that as a max miner, I find it difficult to mine ore without going out of my way. There are herbalists in my guild, however, that make a killing just becuase there is not a lot of competition for the herbs. They still sell really well on the AH tho. So, if it were me, I would go with the herbalist on my server b/c of the lack of competition, which means an easier way of me to make money.

Also, and I know I'll get flamed for this (as it's considerd "noob") download Auctioneer and scan the AH a couple times, whenever you're near an AH check for bargains, mostly blue's that're there for 2-5g (which is how I make alot of my money). Also check bids on epics/rares that're almost closing. I got an elemental deck for 27g bid a while ago, and it still had 30 mins left when I bid, sold the thing for 420g orso (which is overpriced on my server).

I think he meant to say if you have the "*Find fish" and the epic flyer, you can fish more profitable fish to cook.


*Find Fish
Instant
Nearby fishing nodes appear on the minimap. Only one type of thing can be tracked at a time.

Outside of dailies, I make most of my money from fishing/cooking, in pretty much the same way bloog described.

There is a lot less competition for fishing nodes than mining or herbalism and you don't have to kill anything (other than the random water elemental who insists on attacking you) to get stuff. (Not to mention primal water sells quite well on my server.)

It also helps me keep the guild bank stocked with buff food.

Outside of dailies

This is what I dont get, I only have the PvP/dungeons/cooking dailies available to me, and people are getting a 10 > 25 daily upgrade, are there even 25 dailies? Am I missing out on something amaaaaazing?

There's Skettis (i.e Sha'tari Skyguard), Ogri'la and Netherwing. You need an epic flyer for Netherwing though. Going to be lots of new Shattered Sun Offensive dailies in Sunwell Plateau in the next patch.

[moopy]

Aye, there are about eight netherwing dailies, two in skettis for skyguard, two more skyguard in BEM, and a couple of Ogri'la etc.. As things stand, you have to pick and choose, dependingon where you're trying to gain rep, what pays best, and so forth.

[Gavano]

How come I dont have any of those dailies? Just checked all the places and found nothing? Looked on thott and it tell me to talk to the ogre in shatt, but he doesnt have any quests?

Edit: Do I need to do the 5-man groups? Cause I've been trying for groups for 3 weeks now and still no luck...

[rgirty]

Keep in mind that pots will be greater than flasks for some healin classes post patch.

People are already stocking up on master/wisdom pots because the benefit is roughly 40mp5 vs the 25mp5 flask.

The herbs for those flasks will see a tremendous rise in cost.

yes.

you can 3 man them if you have some semi competent people.

[moopy]

The other thing about the Gronn-killing prequests is that you don't need to be in a group to complete them. If you're around when another group does it, you can loot the quest item, too.

[rgirty]

Tank/healer/dps can do it. We 3 manned it when it first came along, might take a bit and if your on a pvp server (like me) it makes it a bit tougher.
