Analysis and Discussion of Making Gold in World of Warcraft

gold income report aug 31

I’ve wanted to do an income report for the longest time but I’ve had problems with the programs I use to export beancounter data to excel. I finally got bag export to start working again and I’m thrilled to be able to share my best selling gems and enchant scrolls for the past 2 weeks.

My current primary methods of income are in order of profit: Inscription, Enchanting, Vendor Flipping, Jewelcrafting, and Engie Pets.

In the last 16 days here are my profit from each profession:

1. Glyphs = 14,973g

2. Enchant Scrolls = 13,603g

3. Vendor Flips = 6,297g

4. JC Gems = 5,538g

5. Engie Pets = 2,067g

Total gained in 16 days = 42,478g profit or 2,658g/day

The ways I’m working on improving these numbers is by getting the rare enchanting recipes I talked about before, getting more gem cuts and being more committed to selling engie pets (I honestly just forget to make them sometimes and miss out on very easy money).

Remember to only use up to the item number in your KTQ macro, not the actual item name so that you can save character space. You’ll only be able to fit 14 of these per macro so make a few.

Let me know of anything else you’d like included in these income report updates, I have another big article in the works similar to my vendor flipping project I posted above. Good luck with your gold making and stocking up for Cataclysm!

    Thanks Kraklin!

    I`ve started using your ktq list and allready made some good profit. I spent a day setting it all up, finding my threshold and at what prices I need to buy the mats. Now its just a breeze, hitting a few buttons :)

    Thanks for the ktq list and the stats kraklin! i needed a ktq list for enchanting :P first i gotta see if the people on my realm are not already selling the scrolls for mats cost.

    Ok, so how did you get your export working? I followed your instructions on your post on the topic and all it did was sieze wow and kick me from the server. I havent had a chance to look into the LUA code… how did you get it to work and can you share it?

  4. Hard Dominator says:

    it’s a lot of data it processes.. wow may freeze and crash in the meanwhile because it has a maximum run timeout on each LUA function.

  5. Alex says:

    Hey when you are calculating your profits, you deduct the mats costs right? I mean I’m not totally sure how extensive bean counter is, but how does it know you spent x amount of gold buying a sky sapphire to turn it into a solid one so it can calculate profit? Or how does it know when you buy dust that you are using it to craft a specific enchant so it can add profit to that enchant. I just figured it added up all the money you received in the mailbox from each sale and added that up, is that correct?

  6. Alex says:

    Or I guess after thinking about it more, it calculates the cost you pay per mat from the AH, and subtracts those costs from the final selling price and gets your profit, is that how it works? Thats pretty intense if so and I should definitely download it. I sell gems and ICC boots mainly and I just do a quick estimate of profit but it would be really nice to actually have concrete numbers!

    How do you get this statistics??

    My beancounter is a lot of simple :(
