Day 2

So I made a good amount of money off all my items. I am now at an amazing amount of 9g 14s 37c at level 12. It's amazing how fast low level stuff sells.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I am leveling first-aid as I level so I am using cloth I find in order to raise my skill. As soon as I "graduate" to the next cloth in first aid I will sell any extras I find. I already have max level of first aid with linen and am now only waiting for mobs that drop wool cloth. All the extra linen is now profit! I sell it on the AH for whatever the going price is and boom money made and I didn't pay a thing.

So now I am on my way to the crossroads in the barrens. I ran 1 RFC group and tanked it. Hooray Prot! It actually works! Some decent BoE greens but no boss loot. I equipped the upgrades binding them to my character and any non upgrades I found I put on the AH for what seemed to be a good value.

"Of the bear," or, "of the monkey," gear was easier than the ones who weren't categorized. I just searched for that class "of the monkey" in the AH tab and sorted the results by lowest level first. Then I could see the price curve on the items. Many times you'll find the items you're selling this way too. So I put up my new auctions and headed on down to the dreaded Barrens.

After dying a few times to a rare mob in front of a quest objective I eventually bested the Warcraft system and collected the item by timing my click with the swing of the level 20 rare. He missed me twice in a row luckily and I got to collect the item after a 3sec collection timer.

I am still collecting linen cloth and all sorts of goodies that I won't be using but selling on the AH.

When my bags do fill...and they fill a lot I have to choose what to throw away in order to make room for the new whites and greens coming into my bags.

1. First thing I throw away is drinks, #1- I am a warrior no mana means I don't need drinks.



2. The second things I throw away is non-meat consumable food. Any bread or fungus that says eat to restore health I throw away unless it also holds a well-fed buff.



3. Third things I will throw away are grey items. These have no real use in the game so vendoring them is usually a wise choice. sometimes you can sell greys u find on the AH or in trade chat like brooms and pitchforks because people like to goof off and show their friends their "epic'ly" enchanted broom.

If u have a white or green you're picking up then start tossing out useless greys if you can't find a vendor nearby to take them from you.If u do end up with your bags full a lot think about purchasing bags off the AH or hope you get lucky and find some during your travels.

One thing I have been doing while I level is send items off to an alt. I have a level 18 warlock on Onyxia as well named Britneyfearz. Whenever I see a mailbox I send every single white and green item that I've found to her until I get to a major city. Then I log off switch to my lock and return everything to Anthaknee. It's an easy way to keep your bags free of all the clutter.

----------

So I'm level 18 now on my warrior as well and prot is shaping up to be nice. I have to have a shield out to interrupt spell casters at this level so being prot is really nice. I flew to org, trained and posted my auctions. I found a few chests while leveling today and have a few peacebloom, copper ore, and light feathers. Light feathers weren't from the chests but from the harpy's and plainstriders in the barrens. I put these on the AH and will log off for the night to see how they sell.

My potions are stacking up, not sure if I should sell them but I'll think about it...

Day 1

Character Creation: so I had to decide what class to level and I decided on a Troll warrior. I've got just about 1 of every class above level 15 except a warrior and paladin. I think mostly I'm just interested in seeing whether Prot is a viable leveling spec now.
My character's name: Anthaknee of Onyxia (US)
I made a decision that while leveling this character I would not send him any money from a high level character nor run him through any instances with the help of a high level friend as that would ruin the numbers. I did however buy and send Anthaknee the Bind to account Heirloom shoulders that give the wearer 10% increased experience from mobs. He won't find as many goodie items as a starter character would but I also just want to fly through these levels as fast as possible and see what kind of money can be made. I'm guessing a great amount.
-------------
I'll start with level 10 since before that you'll probably fall asleep.Pre-level 10 is simple questing and selling all the greys that aren't upgrades to your gear so you can afford the new abilities that come with levels.
By level 10 I had a nice stockpile of Boar's Meat, Linen Cloth, Malachite, and all sorts of other goodies that I did not vendor trash(sell to a vendor). Any item that is white is an item that is used somewhere in the world of warcraft to do something for the player. Boar's Meat sells surprisingly well on most servers. Hunters use it to feed their pets and keep them happy.
After a good amount of leveling in Durotar I headed to Orgrimmar to see Thrall, leader of the Horde!!!
Seriously though guys he had a quest for me... I'm serious... this isn't a RP realm don't worry.
Since I was in Org I now had the luxury of going to the Auction house for the first time. I, with my paltry 5 silver and 27 copper started placing all my white and green items on the AH for market value. I sold my boars meat for 50s per stack of 10. I've gotten 1g per stack before but that day they were 50s so that's what I put them up for.
I put my auctions up and logged out for the night. We'll see how well I do tomorrow evening.
