oh, about 3 hours! we were all so tired we didn’t even finish. we wiped on freakin’ ormorok the big stamping rock dude three times before giving up for the night. no idea why it happened, everyone has a bad night…. but where did three hours GO??

and here i am with 5 hours sleep and a full day ahead of me. sigh! i hope that hungry devouring demon is happy….

I generally play while my girlfriend is watching tv, so typically 7pm – 10pm, and probably 7pm – 11pm on a raid night.

We sit in the same room, so we are still together, even if we are doing separate things, and it works a lot better than being in separate rooms.

I used to run AA while doing the dishes… but that mean 40 minutes gone… then another 1/2 hour to buy everything I wanted

I have never been a gatherer apart from skinning, just cause it was there… always made my money on the AH, usually DE mats

The suggestion of moving AH toons to Exodar (or Darnassus, which I find more aesthetically pleasing than Exodar) has some merit – it’s a pity there isn’t an AH in Shattrath, as that’s pretty much a dead city these days, and could use the traffic.

(As an aside, the 50-mail limit is really beginning to irritate me; it’s a pity there isn’t an option to work around it, like the getall option in Auctioneer… And crafting is actually kind of broken when you’re making anything in bulk. It’s bad enough with inks – my record is an 18 minute run of Inks of the Sea – but filling up low-volume items like glyphs can be quite annoying, having to press “Proceed” a hundred times 3 or 6 or 9 seconds apart… /rant)

Pros:
Shortest Path from Mail box to AH (Good for Arbitrage)
Fastest FrameRate (Faster Mail fetching, scanning and AH posting)

Cons:
Longer Path from Bank to AH (If things you are selling is not on your mail box)
(If you had stock up on bank, you should be IF/SW anyway)

Try use the batch post function if you don’t have already, it saves a lot of time. (I list about 200-500 auctions a night, that really help me a lot)

(for anyone that didn’t notice, the mailbox can only be fetched once per 60 secs, which means, after you fetched x mails, the x new mails under the 50 mail limit, need to wait till the time limit is over.)

Hope this help…

If you have items that you post at roughly the same price and your scan data is from within the last day or three, you can post items on the Appraiser tab while the scan is running.

And completely agree with standby for the computer.

Best option lately is to just run the scan over one or two product types (ctrl click the ones you want), but of course that reduces search options later.

Or if you can leave your computer on, run auctioneer when you’re away from your computer, such as while sleeping or start it in the morning before you leave for work. The scan time seems excessive though. Worst I’ve seen is half an hour for a totally fresh scan/process.

How to make gold fast: exploit the AH and produce nothing. See, producing things; crafting or farming or questing, those take time. It’s much faster to take the gold of those who actually produce things.
