    [Guide] Buying Gold | Safely.

    Greetings all and welcome to my "brief" story about how to buy gold safely.

    This is my story and, only my story. I think I have posted it on another website - | I have been a member of a lot of websites including random wiki's.
    I really hope you enjoy.



    Just the other day I read a story about how a chap got his account banned simply for buying World of Warcraft gold. A scary story indeed, though I do wonder if it is a real story. I have bought gold in the past and have known others who have as well with no problems. With all the on-going account bans, however, buying WoW gold may very well now be a hazardous activity.
    It's no secret that in the past people who bought cheap WoW gold from sellers that used duping had their accounts banned. It was a simple matter for Blizzard to track the duped gold. However, WoW gold bought from "safe" businesses which got their gold from the mundane yet effective method of paying people to grind 24 hours a day was pretty much always a safe bet. Perhaps it is not so any more.


    So what do I do if I really want to buy some WoW gold without risking my account? There is a way to "launder" the gold in a way that Blizzard has not yet begun tracking or is not able to track for whatever reason (it's doubtful they actually CAN'T track it). I've outlined it below:

    | Instructions |

    1. Have an alternate account. This is crucial as it will be your ban-shield. How you get it is your own business, but remember: do not use a friend's account unless they don't care if it is banned and scamming accounts is just plain wrong - don't do it. That being said, you can go out and buy the base WoW game for $20 and just consider that a gold-buying tax.

    2. Create a level one character on your alternate account and run it to the nearest city with a mailbox and an auction house. When you purchase your gold, have it sent to this character.

    3. Log into your main account and create another throw-away level one character and run to the nearest auction house. Now create an auction for something like your basic starter chest piece for the amount of gold you bought.

    4. Log back into your alternate account and using the gold you bought, buyout your main account's auction. Now logout and delete the alternate character.

    5. Login to your main account's throw-away character, collect the gold and mail it to your real main. Now logout and delete the throw-away character.


    Note: Blizzard will definitely make the effort to track you if you post auctions with exhorbitent buyouts, such as a kobold candle for 5,000 gold. If you want to buy more than 500 gold, split up your auctions to attract less attention.

    Thanks all, hopefully you will take use of this guide.

    Safer than AH atleast, Blizz frequently scans the AH for high amounts of gold. P2P-trades can't be tracked that easily

    I have bought gold in the past without issues. These are the 2 ways I've done it:
    1. With one account
    Anticipating that eventually you're gonna buy gold do the following
    - Create several lvl 1 toons (mules) aka bankers
    - Send them some money (10-20g each) and bags (6 slot bags ~50s each)
    - Attempt to do as much merchandise/gold trafficing as possible between those alts, I was trying to create an obious log of cash and item transaction
    - Buy gold and have it delivered to one of those toons
    - Make sure to stay on top of the delivery, checking every few minutes
    - As soon as you get gold delivered sen it to split the gold evenly and send it to all your toons and main
    - Delete the toon the gold was delivered to and create another toon with almost the same name as the one deleted i.e original toon was "banker3" name new toon something like "bankerman3"
    - Keep going about your normal business and keep your trades between your toons moving your gold less and less between toons but laundering it more towards your main

    2. With 2 accounts
    - Same as above but instead give all the gold purchased to the 2nd account
    - If any questions come up these are fail proof answers:

    a. This is my share from the previous guild disband
    b. A friend of mine quit playing, sold all his stuff and gave me some of his gold
    c. This new guild I'm in pitch in to get mats for new gear to start raiding with them.
