Hi all,
I’m writing this guide because someone suggested it here, and because I thought it would be good for people looking to transfer to have.
Also, if this could be stickied, that'd be great; don't wanna feel like I've wasted my time writing it.
Disclaimer: I am not saying this is 100% right, I’m trying to help those looking for a guide who are new to transferring. Feel free – in fact, I encourage you – to post ideas or suggestions.
To start off with, we should all know that there is a limit to the amount of gold one character is allowed to transfer. The maximum allowed varies with level, and they are as follows:
Note: You must be at least level 10 to transfer.
There are some other conditions, including:
From here.
So the problem with this, is that 300 gold is really not that much (lvl 19 twink). Luckily, there are no restrictions to the items allowed to be carried across. That’s what I’m going to be listing: possible items – which sell easily, and are easy to obtain – to transfer to get around this rule.
When posting on the auction house, make sure not to flood the market, as there will always be people undercutting; thus pushing the prices down. Flooding the market will also waste money on the AH deposit; the likelihood of selling them all the first time is slim, unless the item is highly sought after.
To start off with: Gems
Gems are highly sought after by all level 80’s; they allow further customization of your character. There are tons of different types of gems, but I would recommend taking only uncut ones.
The list is as follows:
These are just the 6 basic epic gems. There are more to choose from if these are unsuitable. Obviously, have a look at the auction house on the server you’re transferring to, and compare prices, and choose which one/s to take accordingly.
Enchanting materials will also be popular on all servers. These will include:
If you are transferring to be with a different guild, ask them what they will supply, and just give a yell out if anyone needs anything transferred, or if they need anything which is hard to come by on their server. These may include various enchanting scrolls, or old school enchanting materials such as:
Etc.
If you are looking to transfer a large amount of money, have a look at [item]Mechano-hog[/item] (horde) or [item]Mekgineer's Chopper[/item] (Alliance) depending on your faction. [item]Vial of the sands[/item] is a great addition since cataclysm.
Or if you’re worried they’re not going to sell, there’s certain twink items you could use as well, such as:
19’s
29’s
39’s
49’s
Frostweave, Embersilk and Illusionary bags are good also, they go for approximately varying prices, but are always in demand.
If you're a tailor you could also take stacks of [item]bolt of netherweave[/item] (to save bag space) and then convert it into bags on the other server. I guarantee they will sell.
Ores and Bars are very easily acquired and can be used to diversify your products. The only downside is the cost of the deposit; If they don't sell, you will lose a lot of money.
Lastly, Darkmoon decks and cards. They're currently extremely good trinkets which sell for a lot and will move quickly.
Earthquake decks aren't recommended as they're only 2-3k and they really aren't that good.
So that’s it for now. Again, I encourage you to look through this list and suggest more; I will update in due time.

To start off with, we should all know that there is a limit to the amount of gold one character is allowed to transfer. The maximum allowed varies with level, and they are as follows:
- Level 10-30: 300 gold limit
- Level 31-50: 1000 gold limit
- Level 51-69: 5000 gold limit
- Level 70 - 80: 20000 gold limit
- Level 81+: 50000 gold limit
Note: You must be at least level 10 to transfer.
There are some other conditions, including:
- An individual character may only be transferred once every 3 days.
- As a security precaution, Death Knights can only be transferred once they reach level 60.
From here.

- [item]Mithril Bar[/item]
- [item]Titanium Bar[/item]
- [item]Saronite Bar[/item]
- [item]Cobalt Bar[/item]
The above 3 have spiked in price due to inflation, and the decrease in supply with a constant demand.
- [item]Obsidium Bar[/item]
- [item]Elementium Bar[/item]
Lastly, Darkmoon decks and cards. They're currently extremely good trinkets which sell for a lot and will move quickly.
