It worked down to day one, two and three the total income was 400 from daily quests. Day four and five was the full 600 since we ran the third character through dailies. Some simple math equals out to about 2,400 gold. We already had 1,400 gold so together that came to 3800. A bit short of the 5200, yes?
There is the other secret we used. You know how questing in World of Warcraft is nothing but an excuse for you to go out and grind various enemies. It's not about the quest XP. That's just a bonus compared to how much XP you get from killing enemies. Daily quests work almost on the same principle if you allow it. Most of the enemies you kill drop valuable items to sell. Signets or Marks foe reputation sell for about a gold a piece, various green items sell for a ton just to the vendor, reputation goody bags are loaded with more reputation items and fire motes, Mining or Herbalism nodes and even skinnable mobs pepper the areas you do daily quests with.
You can bring in extra gold a day if going out of your way just a little. A stack of adamantite sells for about 40 gold, Arcane Tomes or Fel Armaments sell for about 20, greens come to about 10-20 gold, a stack of fire motes goes for about 40 gold too. Your luck may vary but there is a ton of ways to milk more cash out of dailies as you move around the island and Outland.
Over the course of five days, we made 3,796 gold exactly. There are no loans, no gold buying and nothing else. Just farming daily quests with two characters (and sometimes three), hunting ore, and doing a few normal quest lines in my spare time. Overall we spent 4 hours a day until the weekend when we spent about 6-7. The grind wasn't that bad at all and in no time we're cruising through the skies at speeds I never dreamed of.
This does not mean that all of us are that lucky. Having multiple 70s and having them spread over multiple accounts is tough enough. If you look at it though the additional 70 only contributed about 200 gold a day (to 400) since it was dead weight and only turned in quests. In total that is about 7 extra days of playing since neither of the two gathered. So in reality with dedication and 2-3 hours of free time a day you can easily have that mount or anything else within two weeks. It all boils down to your willpower. During the time we're actively farming gold we spent money on nothing. We bought our Hunter arrows, repairs and pet food of course. We didn't splurge on trade-skills, consumables or reputation items. We had one item to buy and that was it. Also we maximized our use of the AH to the full extent.
In real world, we had not had the extra accounts it'd taken us roughly 12 days of playing 3 hours a day (if not less) and doing a little extra here and there to make sure we're making enough. Mining where we could, which avoid any extra expenses and do everything within the power to ensure that we're gaining as much cash as possible.
The next time, therefore, you think about buying gold to skip the grind thing about this story. You just think that with a little bit of elbow grease and a lot of fun, especially if you can quest with others and they don't give you the wow gold, you too can get that epic flying mount or pretty much anything else you need. You just need will power and determination both of which you just need in small quantities.
