paid for it by selling all enchanting mats i had, all blues in my bank except for tier 0 blues, and selling ore,stones and arcane crystals and about 40-50 recipes i have collected over the last couple months.

took about 9 hours to sell all my stuff and made out with over 1000g from doing it.

bought my tiger epic for gnome mage and a stormpike battle charger lol just because it was only 8 gold :p

That's a rare guild. Seems like most guilds are "Do it yourself" on most things except for raids.

It depends. Most high end-game guilds simply can't function dependant on the good will of others. Mat/gold/etc. has to happen per member, or you don't run at 100%. Self-sufficient guildies for cutting-edge content is a must, otherwise there's no guarantee for a totally ready & committed raid.

...however, if you're just playing with friends, pooling together resources is an awesome guild philosophy of its own. I'm not sure how far that can get you in PvE currently, but the fun aspect is an allure all of its own. :)

This is about the only game I notice that it takes it a little too far, and if you ask for a small amount because you don't have any money and your repair bills are too much, you are pretty much SOL unless you have decent gathering skills.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17111884 Wed, 18 Oct 2006 15:52:46 EDT Re: How did you fund your Epic mount? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17106849 Thaler :

Is the only requirement for using an epic mount is lvl 60 or do you have to be exalted?

The only requirement for an epic mount is:

Lvl 60.
800-1000G (10% off from honored, 10% off from Rank 3).
Mount training.

You only need to be exalted if you wish to ride another race's mount, ie a night elf wanting to ride a horse.

My second level 60 is a priest and is a miner/herbalist. I can make money hand over fist with this guy. I use gatherer and I can pull in at least 30 gold in an hour of mining and herbing. If there are a lot of herbs, I can make more and if arcane crystals drop, I can pull in double that amount on average. I have a couple areas that I have mapped out, kinda like a mailman route. I go in a certain pattern where I can time the mines so they respawn right about the time I get there. I think I have gotten pretty good at it, but not ready to share all my secrets yet or where I go. :)

I try to farm about 1 hour a day if I can, but since I got my epic mount, I haven't farmed much. I have 300 gold and have gotten lazy. When I was trying to earn my epic mount, I would get up early in the morning before I went to work and farmed for an hour when the population was low.

I am a firm believer that two gathering professions can net you the most cash. However, no matter what you choose, you have to spend time to earn gold. :)

That adds up real quick when a group of five are doing quest. Plus, you can usually get some good items to sell/disenchant/etc.

Herbalism/Mining are good money makers.

But here is how I made my money. Runecloth Belts. I would buy up about 100g of Runecloth on the auction house, make runecloth belts, disenchant them and sell the mats. As long as the Dream Dust was selling for 6-7g per 10 (more like 12-14 per 20 since the latest patches) I was going to make money. At that time, it was selling for 10g per 10 and they couldn't get enough. I made about 600g just crafting and disenchanting, using the work of all the runecloth farmers.

Eventually, over a month and a half, the items weren't selling as well and I pulled out of it. I was able to fund my twink, but that 700G could have gone towards an epic mount.

I do wish i had one for pvp sometimes, but its never really gimped me to be honest. And i love my old faithful Striped Night saber :)

To to farm gold I usually scan the AH, farm SM, use my rogue to do pick pocket runs in instances, also have mining on one alt and skinning on my main, and enchanting 300/300 with a few rares from AQ and MC.

I got this right at the time that they put the quest in for the pally, so Pristine Black Diamonds were expensive. I ended up paying 300g + 4 arcanite bars + 4 azerothian diamonds for the pristine diamond. All told, it cost almost as much as a regular epic, with the added quest lines to boot. (Makes me sick to see pristine diamonds going for 1-2g now a days :/ )

My next character was/is a warrior. I had mining and skinning and sold all the stuff I gathered up to 60. Was rather easy to build the money.

I actually got my warlock mount for even cheaper than most warlocks, since i had friends give me the arcanite bars, and make the potions, and even had a warlock friend who still had the mat's for the quest. I think i ended up spending only 250 or so gold for my epic mount.

I had 650 gold when i hit 60 from scanning the AH with Auctioneer. I generally only bought stuff that would net me 80+ gold profit, and was likely to sell. Sadly though, i blew about 400 gold to get attuned for Naxx, so that I could raid with my friends (while rolling in greens and tier 0 blues. I was probably the most undergeared Naxx raider, ever.)
