Newbie Gold: Your First WoW Bank Alt

When should I make my first bank alt? Well I would recommend making your first bank alt Once you reach 700g. you will want to transfer 100-200 g to your bank alt. It is possible to make a bank alt succeed with less than this amount of gold but it will be much harder and more of a chance of wasting money and not making any profit or just breaking even. Well with all that in mind lets get down to the details.

Bank Alt Names

For the name of the alt I would recommend not having the words banker, alt, gold or auction. So some ideas could be doubling a letter of your main. For example; Balto to Ballto. You will want to do that because if are using the trade channel they will see you are a alt and not want to buy from you as much. Also consider using alt codes (the funny symbols over letters) so other players have a harder time whispering you or adding you to their friends list.

Now What?

What you will want to buy first is low level herbs like the Terocone and sell it for more or you could make a Draenei and level him to level 4 and then go get a recipe called roasted moon graze tenderloin. Which sells for 250 gold on my server on the alliance side and 500 gold on the horde side. With most of the nitty and grity details done with. You should have a successful bank alt and be making loads of profit in a very short time. But now what to do when you you have made 5,000g what do you do to double that or triple that in 1 week? Have a set routine in where you buy a stack of all the volatiles and split them up in to 10 the turning around and selling them for a profit of 5 to 8g which sells for 40g in profit. Then you will want to sell some bigger profit items such as glyphs, gems and recipes. You could almost consider it a ride to work every day the same route with the same amount of traffic and all ways the same destination. So just follow these simple steps and you will be on the right track to be rich within a matter of weeks.

Until next time,
