re: Duping 80's or How to Pander to the Twink Economy
by bobf on 09/08/2009 8:05 pm
Simple Concept... On older server's there are max level char's with low level alts... Wether its BG twinks, or just Stat maxing for leveling there are always going to be 80's looking for mats for powerleveling or for gear so that they don't have to grind it themselves.
Take for example Copper Ore.
Wowhead and Thottbot place the AH pricing around 25-75 Silver per 20 Stack.
Blackwater Raider is currently 1.75G to 3G per 20 Stack.
Seriously.
Why do you ask? Smelting. Low level miner's can get all the way through copper without ever actually touching an ore spawn... Smelting for skill. This applies to Tin, Iron, Mithril, Thorium. Especially true for Silver, Gold, and Truesilver ore. The price usually drops significantly for bars of the same material.
Ore and Herbs, and to a lesser extent Leather can net you huge profits for short periods of grinding. For that matter you don't even have to do the grinding yourself... With a little bit of startup capital, and a little time and effort... (basically checking prices day to day and making sure that the price fluctuates the way you expect it too. )
This is an example. This may be completely innacurate, and you should confirm this by your own observation...
Apparently there is some error in table code in bbcode.. . but you get the idea.
Monday | Tuesday | Wensday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday | Copper Ore | Copper Ore | Copper Ore | Copper Ore | Copper Ore | Copper Ore | Copper Ore | 1.6G | 1.5G | 1.3G | 1.2G | 1.6G | 2.25G | 2.0G |
Based on the example, you could buy Copper on tuesday, and sell on Saturday for a 1G profit.
As always... your mileage may very...
