Then, I decided to try auctioning stuff instead of selling to vendors. In but a couple of hours of doing quests, I had 1g 70s in my bank! How cool is that?
In short, I like the way WoW is set up.

I made ~10g off of First Aid manuals in the AH... I spent ~5.5 to 6g, and the associated time to find them and then fly back and forth.
Enchanting makes you money money money
By the time I hit 40, I had over 150 gold in the bank, top notch equipment, and had never skipped a skill training.
Of course, I then spent most of it on the mount, and on more equipment, but can usually get back another 20 to 30 gold in a day if I spend enough time mining that day.

4g for a stack of Goldthorn? Come on >

Mining works great. I've spent a lot of time in east plaguelands getting AD reputation and it's pretty easy to find rich thorium veins there and each rich thorium vein is worth about 3.5g.
3.5 per vein!? Cripes, on my server, 3.5g will buy you a stack of 20 thorium bars. Reynar fucked around with this message on 03-17-2005 at 03:05 PM.

Heh, Mithril sells for more than that on Earthen Ring. I can usually get 4 gold for 20 Mithril, although I usually sell for 3.75, to undercut the competition.
I haven't looked at prices for Thorium yet, since I'm not quite there yet, plus would probably die quickly at most Thorium veins (my miner is 42).

Mithril sells for 4.5g for 20, and Thorium sells for less, go figure.
But it's mostly because the majority of miners here are at 300 skill, and stopped mining mithril.
A few more points, and I'll be revered with AD. Which means shitloads of MAJOR potions at a whim. 
BTW, save your tokens from Argent Dawn. 25 of them nets you the chromatic enchant gem, which apparently gives any shoulder peice +5 resist all. There's a pre-quest before it which (I'm suspecting here) will require 10-20 tokens, but unlocks all the individual resists at the vendor for 9g each (I suspect that that, as well, is with a 10% discount).
Sexy.
I hit 20, and spent 2+g on my skills, so I'm broke again. And I still need to find and buy the books for expert cooking, fishing, herbalism, and alchemy.

She's nice for later on when you get dark pact.. Keep her auto-abilities off (So she always has mana) and use her for pure Melee DPS as you fearkite/draintank mobs. She works as an excellent offtank for a midway through the battle add, as well.
Her real shining grace is mez, too, but that's later.

Yes, with a little work, the right talents, and a good strategy, you can use the succubus to solo about two thirds as well as you can with the voidwalker, provided that you don't get any adds. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 03-18-2005 at 10:49 AM.

I'm morally opposed to this. I find it quite annoying.
Half of my guild has dropped one of their tradeskills for DISenchanting at level 60. Not even for enchanting.
I know it's the "logical" thing to do, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; I can garuntee myself NO adds in 90% of soloing situations, and kill the same mob in about half the time it'd take you to do it with your stupidass blueberry.
Fuck, I haven't even PULLED OUT THE MOTHERFUCKER in about 10 days of played time.
He's a OMFGWTFIAMALAMEASS safe way of soloing to 60. There's nothing wrong with it. But to those of us who are impatient (re: Faster then you), Succubus ftw.

I agree; one of our hunters dropped one of his skills for enchanting. He levelled it up (Which is great!) but is taking recipes from enchanters who've sweated for it since day one. >:(
NO, MOTHERFUCKER, you do NOT get firey, you do NOT get icy, you do NOT get lifesteal, you DO NOT GET FUCKING CRUSADER WHEN YOU JUST PICKED IT UP LAST FUCKING WEEK.

If he levelled it up to 300 or what not...why does it matter? In a guild, the point is to have people htat can do the enchant, period. If they're there to do it for the guild, it shouldn't matter who has it. Just that SOMEONE has it.

You're wrong on a couple of counts.
1) Voidwalker actually ISN'T that horrible for soloing. A few seconds slower per kill, sure, but then you also don't have to worry about having a fight where 5 drain life casts get interrupted. You can get the full cast each time and end up killing as fast. I use both to solo, dependent on the mob type.
When I use voidy, I will cast my two instas, let it taunt twice, immo, then lifetap, drain life, lifetap, drain life and continue that till the mob dies. Dies almost as fast as if I were using hte succubus, I end the fight at about 100% health and 90% mana. I also turn off taunt at 25% mob health -- at that point, the mob won't turn to me until it dies.
So no, it isn't a lameass way to solo -- if you know what you're doing, it can be more effective than the succubus and require less downtime (with the succubus soloing, you'll eventually have downtime -- her mana regen won't give you enough to dark pact away and eventualy, you'll be low and have to eat/drink. With voidy, you will have to do so far less.)
2) You aren't a better person just because you exclusively use the succubus, so can the elitist attitude. Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 03-18-2005 at 11:06 AM.

Actually, as I've demonstrated in the past, drain tanking doesn't work for shit until you get higher ranks of drain life. So when you figure in losing two thirds of your health bar every fight, even when drain tanking, EVEN WITH 20% DAMAGE MITIGATION, the VW is not only a TON safer, but a TON faster since you don't have to eat after every goddamn fight.
I don't know WHEN drain tanking with the succubus becomes viable, but I know it sure as shit isn't at 44.
I take it someone was being an idiot, and was taught a public lesson?

I'd rather use my transmute abilities for the guild than make 5g that is easy enough to make at my level.
My biggest scam, however, is the fire protection recipes you can buy in Sun Rock Retreat for 16s. I turn around and can sell them pretty quickly for 5g.
