Marjaan Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I get asked a lot, "Hey Marjaan, where'd you grind to get all the money for that epic mount?" Well, now you can have *all* the answers, they're right here in my new book, "Marjaan's Money Madness", only $19.99 plus tax! And, if you call now, we'll throw in this FREE 33 pound redgill, a $29.99 value! Wieldable in the off-hand even! But seriously... I do get asked where I grind a lot, and I usually respond with "I don't grind ", and I never end up having time to explain. So, here it is, some advice to get you all epically mounted! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1. Start early. You think once you've bought your standard mount, you're done saving? Hah, start saving up again, 800 gold doesn't happen over night. (that's right, it's 800 assuming you're honored with your faction.... people who say it's 1000 gold are WRONG! Sadly, pvp Sergeant rank discount doesn't lower it below 800, but....) 2. Use coupons, err... discounts! Pick up Sergeant as soon as you can. Heh, that's what I did in the military, and it allowed me to pay off my epic mount.. er... car. Seriously though... if you can get Sergeant by lvl 50, it will help your bank account terrifically. That 10% discount at all Horde vendors really adds up over time, from both selling *and* buying stuff like rune thread/ankhs/etc. Also, make sure you are honored with all 4 Horde races as soon as you can. That 10% also adds up, and can help early on with your normal mount fund also! 3. Be a smart trader. I could go on and on about this... but a few main points. Between lvl 40-55, you should be able to outfit yourself just fine between running dungeons, quests, and getting fine items made by your fellow Crushers' tradeskills. As for endgame 55+, almost all the best gear is BOP drops, very few things on the AH are worth wasting money on. So basically, only buy something at the AH if you know you would use it for a long time, and if it is reasonably priced. As for selling, over time you get to know what will sell and what you should just vendor, as well as good opening big/buyout setting. Use thottbot.com and/or allakhazam.com to your advantage! 4. Never *purely* grind. Not only is it boring IMO, there is almost always something you can be doing to improve your character and his pocketbook. Do dungeons & quests, work on faction with the Argent Dawn, Thorium Brotherhood, or Timbermaw Furbolgs. Or, better yet, work on your tradeskills. No matter how horrible your tradeskill may seem for making money, you just have to find those few things that will make you money. Heck, if I can make money with Dragonscale Leatherworker, anyone can make money with a trade! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So get out there and reach your full potential! I don't regret for one second having spent the 800 gold.... worth every copper I tell ya.... Also, in closing, let me state that I'm tired of having to type /follow Kaer, and sit back and watch my epic raptor hump his slooooow kodo for mile after mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
