As it stands the zen exchange is possibly the most profitable market in the game, here are some tips to maximize your gains and set your character up to make a steady (free) income to allow you to max out your alts.
1. Your first goal should be to fill all 5 of your allowable orders with the maximum of 5000 zen so that you can bring in 25k Zen every couple of months.
- Starting out this will take some time, but if you refine your 100k/ad and with some light farming you should be able to come up with 3,750,000 ad to make your first post.
There are many ways you can farm up the extra 750k needed, either dread ring lairs for Rank 5 Enchanting stones. Farming gold with your professions or adventurer seals. Farming overload enchantments in icewind dale, Dungeon farming for loot, your free 10k refined AD from the redeemed citadel with 500 favors, ect.
2. Wait for your post to go through, it will take some time but buying things on the zen market and re-selling them on the AH usualy comes close to doubling your profits. Things like companion/mount upgrade packs sell fast and for a high margin, preservation wards sell well in stacks of 10. Sometimes there are limited time items on sale (like the legendary insignia choice pack, rank 15 enchantment packs, ect.) that sell well as well.
The goal starting out is to make a profit quickly so you can repost your ad (and your profits) back into the exchange to help you to geto into the groove of always having 5 listings for 5k zen up, always.
Dont worry about trying to hang onto an item for an extra month to make slightly more, its more important to make sure your zen exchange listings are full!
3. Once your listings are full (5 posts at 5k zen each) Make sure to keep them full and save as much of your extra zen as you can, if you need to buy a few things on the zen market to sell on the AH so you have enough ad to repost your listing for 5k zen buy ONLY what you need... If your listings for the zen exchange are full you have no reason to spend any more zen unless you are buying something for your character.
4. Save your zen and wait for a big sale item, (like black friday, or a big ticket item like the triple legendary pack)
This is the main reason why the zen exchange is so backlogged, but it is extremely profitable and it doesnt even require you to play the game to make a profit, you only need to log in once every 2 months when your orders go through.
