The only time enchanting is expensive is when you decide to power level it. If you're patient and do it over time, it doesn't really cost you anything. You may need a small amount of gold to get started, but this is seed money that you'll get back over time.


5g exactly to get to 225 (I could get to 300 if I wouldnt find it hassle to level my toon to 35 now) and only because I was impatient and wanted to make it there in one day.
She made me so much money in return even with 225 skill its simply amazing.

Here's how I did it, Sethy. One day a week was devoted to leveling the toon instead of spending time with my main or other alts. Getting even a few bubbles per week won't get you to 35 quickly, but you absolutely will get there. I have some "adventuring bags" in the bank that I swap out whenever I feel the need to level my disenchanter. Eventually, he'll get to 50 and get the chance to raise beyond 300. I know that it isn't necessary, but I've grown accustomed to him, and breaking the once-a-week habit is hard.

I've slowly been in the same boat =)

I always get this idea that I want a twink, then eventually (usually quickly) I get bored with them. In my case I had a 29 warlock twink, that lasted a while, I got some nice gear upgrades on him, all the PVP rewards, etc..but eventually I never ever played him.

So I decided to make him my disenchanting alt long ago. Leveling another warlock has been boring, but I'm finally almost 35 =)

Once I get 35 he'll probably sit in SW forever. I've toyed with the idea of leveling him to 50, so I could also prospect ore for profit, but I doubt I'd have the interest. We'll see though, its a possibility.

But he's now 34. I generally leveled him 29-34 off full rest xp. I have so many alts I enjoy more, that it feels like work going out to level him, while I'm trying to get my undead pvp mage to 70 as well. But he's close now, half a level off 35, and looking back it wasn't so bad.

But I agree you can make a killing with a level 20 enchanting alt. Its just now, I get so many green item that are higher then what he can disenchant. Also those higher drops tend to give 3-5 arcane dust or 1-3 greater planar essence, or 1 large prismatic per item, compared to 2-3 arcane dust, 1-3 lesser planar essence or 1 small prismatic shard.

So profitting off outlands disenchants becomes easier with a 275-300 disenchanter, since I often see level 70 bids for 3.5g, vs. level 62 bids for 3g. And like I said, sending my own green drops obtained through questing/grinding will be nice too. I use alot of arcane dust since I plow through superior wizard oils while grinding + raiding. I can already farm the herbs + food for my raiding needs, the only slight hangup is arcane dust. I know in general 2-3 green 70 drops will provide enough dust for 2-3 raids, so disenchanting those will be nice. Its also nice seeing 5 arcane dust from that level 68 cloth "of spirit" item which would normally vendor for 2.2 gold. Or better yet, a large prismatic! :D

You are very right, though she is a warrior (was trying something new and didnt like it much) I am sure I could level her bit by bit if I just spend maybe 2 hours a week on it.
The thing is I have close friend who is 375 enchanter and I got her for rare cases when he is not on, and well to be more independent. If I start leveling her he will absolutely insist to join in with his priest and fuss and overprotect me until I loose nerves and stop playing her (again). Funny how he never does that with my lock...
Oh well, 225 is good for now and I might find a chance and sneak out for some leveling sometime.

But, to brag a bit, I finally have the gold for epic flyer, just waiting for few friends to join in with netherwing dailies :)

Best way to make money ... level 10 characters to 70. Do 10 daily quests a day.

11g99s each quest.

1199g a day.

Keep herbing diffrent types of Outland herbs. Especially Netherbloom, Terracone, and Felweed. Since those are the easiest ones to get to and they sell quite well.

Another option is to do as many quests and every quest you find.

I got Epic flying after 1 week of hitting 70. All I did was sell stuff I got(everything), get money from quests and not spend anything. I had 1500 left over when I hit 70 after getting basic flyer and training.

nice math...

If you read what he said carefully, his math makes sense. You do 10 daily quests on 10 level 70 characters, you'd get 1199g per day. However, he was being a bit fictitious believing someone would level 10 characters to 70 to make money ...

If you got at least a "D" in 6th grade math you'd see otherwise...

11g 99s x 10 = 119g 90s

Not 1199g, plus, making that many 70's would be more work than just farming for the damn mount.

119.90G is what each character makes daily. Since there are 10 characters, the total comes to 1199G/day. However, the amount of time you spend getting 10 toons to 70 makes this solution really not a good option. I'm sure that Devioususer's post was tongue in cheek as opposed to a real solution to a gold problem.

Oh, damn.

Was thinking 10 dailies altogether for some reason.

My apologies.

Apart from what's been mentioned above, there's a minor but fatal flaw with this idea. The plan is to make enough gold for the epic flying mount. One presumes that this is to also get the epic flying mount skill, since the actual mount is cheap by way of comparison.

Without the epic flying mount skill, the Netherwing daily quests cannot be reached - one of the pre-req's requires it. Thus you can only do a maximum of 6 daily quests (assuming you have the relevant levels of Ogri'La rep).

So with 10 chars, you'd be getting a max of 71.94g * 10 per day from daily quests.

Not only that, it takes me just shy of an hour to do those 6 dailies for Skyguard/Ogri'La. That would be 10 hours/day to run the dailies on 10 toons. But since it was a smartass response that recommended 10 70s doing 10 dailies...meh.

2 toons cant be online at the same time so competing on your self isn't possible

And even if it was possible you still arn't competing, in fact you would group up with yourself.

Anyway this is totally off-topic so.. /leave

Chlkilt has very little knowledge about running with multiple accounts, and doesn't realize that yes, you can run multiple toons at one time. It's not off topic, since multiboxing is indeed a viable way of earning more gold faster. But, what do you expect out of someone whose post count is 666? He's under demonic influence.
