This post will teach you how to make a lot of gold even though you’re not online. Or well at least not
in game. Picture yourself doing 5-10k extra every day while you´re in school, at work or with your
time-consuming girlfriend. Awesome right!?

I call it Igold, it`s not a revolutionary way of making gold, it`s just a new way of using your old skills
in a modern way. Whenever I`m at work, going to work or just slacking with my girlfriend I can just
pop up my AH remote on my iPad and put some Gems, Enchants or just materials like Volatiles etc
up. With the AH remote I can adjust my auctions to the markets ups and downs and in just that way
make 1xxxxx of gold in a few months.

I´ve been using the AH remote since the start of 2011 and made 1,45M G which is pretty good in my
world. Note that I only possess Enchanting, JC and low inscriptions so I have limited tools but I use
them very well. And I only started with a couple of hundred G.

I start my day by taking a coffee by the computer and prospect some ore if needed, shuffleshuffle,
and then I cut all gems I can, enchant some scrolls and then I’m off to work. This is like 25-30min
work and will generate $$ later on.

By reading the earlier post made by all the pros you can find all the tools that are needed for Igold
too, but here is a bullet list that I put together. Of course you can dig deeper in each one but this is
the key bullets that I use to make it as efficient as possible:

-The best time to sell is 7:00-9:00 , 16:00-20:00 and 00:00-7:00. (At my server)

-Make sure you know your competitors i.e. you know how they sell and when they do it.

-Don’t over flood the market i.e. you only have 200 ahs so make sure you use them right.

-Take advantage by knowing what to sell and how much you need for example crafting
Dreamcloth.

-Have as many different auction up as possible during the time periods mentioned above,
not meaning you should put up all crap you have but all gems, enchants, volatiles etc.

-If you can, control the market i.e. if it`s only one auction up and it`s cheap, buy it and re-
post it for a good price.

-Earlier posts always talk about patience, this way of selling is really demanding in that way.
You will not get rich in one day, a week or even a month. You have to keep those ahs up and
try to avoid your competitors when they over flood the market.

-Think of Igold as the extra icing on the cake, not your major income (even though it has
become that to me)

So to sum up Igold it is a way for you who see yourself as a goblin and want to earn that extra gold
when you usually make zero/nada. But it can also be helpful tool for you who hardcore raid, play a lot
of pvp and don’t have time for ah-leechin. Or maybe you do play 4-5h a day, but you just don’t want
to spend them at ah. In either way you can make extra by just keep your ahs on top and sometimes
use the fluctuations of the market.

I hoped you enjoyed the post and I`ll be happy to write more on how to really use the Igold more
efficiently.

Best regards
