WoW Gold Guide

I’ve designed my own little gold guide for WoW, it was initially just a reply to someone’s question, but i thought i may as well share it here with all you people. Please star if you think this is a good little guide. I hope this helps anyone who needs help making gold.

Okay, this is a big question that everyone wants to know. And i’ve found the best way to get money is to pick up mining/herb and skinning.

So, get yourself either mining or herbalism. These professions are great! As your playing you will find plants/nodes to pick/mine or you can go on a big hunt for them over the course of a day. Sell all the herbs you pick/ore you mine and smelt on the auction house… A tip for selling, check what everyone else is selling the same thing for and sell for a little bit less than the lowest one.

e.g. > Here’s a example list of people selling saronite
1 > 20 for 50g
2 > 20 for 50g
3 > 20 for 45g
4 > 20 for 47g
5 > 20 for 44g

You would want to sell a stack of 20 for 40-43g, this way you know it’s going to sell, and your still getting nearly just as much money as everyone else. If you put your stuff on the auction house at top dollar, everyone’s going to buy other people’s stuff instead of yours. So keep your prices low, but not too low!

With mining, always sell your stuff as bars (smelt from ore) as they will sell a lot better, the only people that buy ore are miners that can’t be bothered going out and mining the stuff and they want to level from smelting instead, and not many people do that. Besides, bars are more useful to more people.

Also pick up skinning as your second profession. The reason being is sure Herb and mining are the 2 best money making profs in the game, however, you can only track one at a time. If you get mining/skinning or herb/skinning then you can kill things, loot them (potentially get greens/blues from them and sell more stuff) and skin them. You will still be getting money, but a lot easier.

Another way to get gold in WoW is buying and reselling things on the Auction House. Doing things such as buying blue/epic items that people are selling way too low, and resell them for a more normal price. I’ve made hundreds of gold this way!

If you really want to make some dough, just look on the auction house and find the things that people are selling for the most gold. Track them down with thottbot.com and go and farm for those things, then resell them on the auction house.

Another good way (if your level 80) is to do daily quests, they give you around 20g a quest and you can do up to 25 in a day. If you do all of them, then 25×20=500g. You could make 500g a day from doing simple and easy daily quests.
