[Guide] How to make gold from Elune's Candle (Lunar Festival)

[Martin240]

First off all: I know that this has already been posted, I searched for it. Found this thread:
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-ex...-festival.html

But I think there are some tweaks and hints I can give because it's not that detailed in this thread and there are some points missing I thought off to be really efficient with that or not being so annoying.

What you are looking for:
Elune's Candle - Item - World of Warcraft

Why would people be interested in that?
This item is really cool and many people, like me, enjoy using it.
The problem is this item is unique and it only got 88 charges so you will run out of fun after the festival ends.

How to make profit/use of this?
Get them to your bank alt and put them on the guild bank!

What you need to be efficient with that:
- Being engineer or knowing a friend who is (for MOLL-E - Item - World of Warcraft )
- A bankalt which owns a guild bank

What to do:
Get yourself (or your friend with engineering) to Moonglade. You can use the invitation from the lunar festival to do so or you could use Teleport Moonglade if you are a druid. You will get the invitation in the capital cities at the respective NPCs. Just talk to one of them, he will hand over the scroll to teleport. You may have to do the quest with the fireworks first if you haven't already.

The NPC you are looking for is: Valadar Starsong - NPC - World of Warcraft
See the link for where he is. Easy to spot on the wooden terrace all the way east in Nighthaven.

Don't forget to add you bank alt to the friend list so he will be favored while entering the name in the mail box field. You can also use some mail addon here which automatically fills in the name.

Now you are set up. Get up your MOLL-E right in front of the NPC. You have 10 minutes from the time getting it up. You need to single purchase the Elune's Candle and send it to you alt. I managed to send one candle every 5 seconds.

After MOLL-E disappered you can log to your alt, pick up Elune's Candle from you mailbox one by one and put it on your guild bank. You can put them all in there because it doesn't matter how many unique items there are on the guild bank. You can have all the bank full of it.

What to do afterwards:
Wait for the festival to end and keep monitoring the AH. Look for the prices fetched by Elune's Candle. I suggest to wait until there is no other people selling them or you can propably make even more profit if you wait around 6 months or so. But don't wait too long. People aren't willing to buy this for a huge amount if the next years festival will be just ahead.

I hope this helps

although repost -as you said yourself- nice decription, so +rep for you!

[jaapoor]

The whole selling the candle concept is a repost.
But this is a nice way, normally I could only get 10 per realm by just sending it to all my alts. But this works a million times better, thnx!!

didn't even realize they werent soulbound, thanks.

[Cryde]

isn't there any mailbox in nighthaven?

[Martin240]

Nope, there is no mailbox in Nighthaven. You would have to fly to the next one which is in Everlook everytime you bought a candle ^^

[guld]

Very good structured from the old thread, thx

[ThaBlarnay]

Works great, wish it had worked in the past. (Made many trips to Everlook, ended up costing me more time/money than it was worth I think)

Lol, me neither! Thanks ^^

[Mr Barbeque]

Can confirm that this works, Thanks a lot

Shouldn't this have just been posted in my already made topic about this as a suggestion (which it already is only a few pst down into the topic about the moll-e). All you did was take what i said and say hey, take a portable mail box with you and it will be easier...

I will however plus rep you for giving me credit.

I didn't really read the comments of your post. Just made a quick search as I already said.
And I think many people didn't read the comments either so it should be helpful to have everything in one post including the guild bank thing which wasn't mentioned in your thread if I didn't miss anything. I hope this is ok
