Hey guys,
first of all i have to say, that i know that exchanging fraction pets is common sence, but i figured out a method of how you can make the maximum profit out of it.
I guess you already know, that Enchanted Lantern and Magic Lamp are fraction pets which can be created by 525 Enchanters. On my realm, each pet sells at it's own fraction for about 1-1,5k. The pet from the other fraction sells for about 3-3,5k.
The first method now is to have a friend buying the item for you from the other fraction, then trading it with you via the neurtal AH. In the best case you can make about 2,5k profit with that. In worst case about 1,5k. This is still very much and due to the fact that they sell very good at my realm, one can make fast gold with less effort.
Remember that you need a small asset to use this method.
The second method needs a bit more effort, but you can make more profit with it.
First create a character for the opposite faction. Then go to one of the capital city and search for an echanter in the /2 Trade channel. Once you found one, ask him for the following deal:
ask him if he wants to trade the enchanting pets (Enchanted Lantern and Magic Lamp) via the neutral ah for 1 copper. All he has to do is create his fraction's pet and you have to create your fraction's pet. Then you trade it.everyone is responsible for his own creation materials and the money they cost. also tell him that he can make a huge amout of gold using this method.
I used the second method myself and at my realm i need about 600-700g to create my fraction's pet and get 3,4k on average. This makes a profit of 2,7k Gold.
In my oppinion this is very much. So now if you're having your trade-partner. You can trade 1 or more pet every day and sell it.
A little hint for this method: ask your partner for is b-net mail adress, so that you can arrange the next trade without relogging to the other fraction's char.
So now i come to the last point, which is only a theoretical method, i don't know if it really works. needs a lot of effort though.
what you need is:
1. Your ususal BNet-Acc
2. Another BNet-Acc (using a different mail) which belongs to you.
Best way: Blizzard made it possible to play WoW until lvl 20 for free. so everyone is free to register a mail adress and play WoW.
So now you can use method 1 with your 2 Accounts.
It's the best to create 2 chars with the 2nd account (they have to be on the opposite fraction of your first account otherwise this would make no sense). position 1 of the chars at the neutral ah and the other at your fraction's ah.
Still your 2nd Account needs some gold for buying his fraction's pet. You can trade him gold by putting a white item into the neutral ah for >1k Gold and make your main buying it. So now send the gold from the neutral ah's char to the other one and then buy your fraction's pet with it. now send the pet back to the neutral ah char and put it into the ah for 1 copper. then buy the pet with your main and sell it for 3k
The only problem with this method could be a restriction on the 2nd Account that "for-free-chars" aren't allowed to use the ah or send mail.
Well, I didn't try this method by myself because i found a partner to get much profit
I hope i was able to help you with this guide. Maybe someone can try the 3rd Method and post if it works.
