Master Merchant Guide
I have 6 characters so this is pretty easy for me. I have one character that
just sits in front of the bank in Ironforge, which of course is right across
from the auctionhouse and has a handy mailbox nearby.
Remember all of those supply vendors you pass by? Well look at their inventory
and always check the last page. There's usually some limited supply recipes that
you can buy. The ones that are in weird places are even better. The goblin in
moonbrook sells rage potion recipes, there are 2 goblins in duskwood, the one on
raven hill sells shadow oil recipes and the one on the road north out of
duskwood sells goblin jumper cables. All of these recipes sell for 200-1000%
profit in the auction house.
My biggest secret? I buy 5 different tuxedo patterns from the tailor in
ironforge for around 40s each and turn around and sell them in the auction house
for 2g or more! There are also 2 thorium recipes off of the engineer supplier in
the gnome area that sells for pretty good. People are just lazy or don't know
that vendors sell these recipes. Keep in mind they're all limited sell so if a
recipe isn't there check back in 20 minutes.
I also have a night elf druid and when she good her port to moonvale i was in
heaven. Port over to moonvale and buy the runecloth recipe from the tailer
there. I can't remember which one but one of the recipes soulbinds to you so be
careful. I think it was the boots recipe. Also in moonvale is the arcanite rod
enchantement and some other high level recipes. All of them can be purchased for
1-2g and buyout in auction for 5-7g. Once you have your recipes hearthstone back
to auberdine and drop them in the mail to your mule guy in front of the auction
house.
Periodically while your other characters are doing their thing look up the
nearest supply vendor and buy out their recipes. If you're always logging out in
an Inn (which you should) this should be a piece of cake. If you have a
character logged out in Darnassus, be sure to pick up the Greater Rage potion
recipe, Free Action Potion, Martial Linnen Shirt and Greater Adapt Robe pattern.
If you do it right you should have about 20 auctions going at a time and it
doesn't draw suscpicion like putting up 10 auctions all for the same item (a
great way to kill your profits by the way). I make about 20-30 gold a day from
about 30min work. The best part is you can do it at any level.
Some other good places for recipes, Ashenvale has a ton of good stuff at
Astranar and that other post. You can get the expert cooking book and the big
bear steak recipes (the bear recipes cost like 20s and you can sell it for 1g
alot of times, and its unlimited supply). The Wetlands has a vendor in the
middle of the map. Stormwind in the old town district has a pub and upstairs a
guy sells about 20 different cooking recipes, many of the same ones you have to
quest for.
