Here’s a compilations of World of Warcraft gold tips and strategies that I believe every WoW player should know. I have gathered them from my personal experience and they have served me very well in the past.
1. It’s been mentioned many times, but if you are just starting the WoW, your first character need to take on gathering professions. In my opinion, Mining and Herbalism are two of the most profitable at this time.
2. Vendor all the ‘grey’ items (duh!) you find while leveling, send the rest to an alternative character, and post them onto the Auction House.
3. Save all your level 40+ greens, tip an Enchanter to disenchant them. Dusts and Shards currently sell very well, and I only see this trend increasing with the Wrath of the Lich King due to arrive soon.
4. Using addons, the Blizzard interface is fine, but addons that adds additional information such as Gatherer and Auctioneer helps tons.
5. Supply your goods from your gathering professions to crafters in top guilds on your server. Doing this will guarantee sales and you eliminate the Auction House cut.
6. A tip when mining, Silver refill Tin nodes. Gold refills Iron nodes. Truesilver refills Mithril nodes. So if you are just looking for Truesilver, you must NOT ignore the Mithril nodes as this will reduce the overall chance of Truesilver node spawns.
7. Like Jewelcrafting, I foresee Inscription to be big in the Wrath of the Lich King. Get this profession if you already have characters with maxed gathering professions.
8. Watch the Blizzard calendar and pay attention to in-game events. Certain items will be in very high demand in certain times of the year. A fortune could be made by purchasing or farming these items in bulk prior to the event.
9. Understanding World of Warcraft Economy. Not as complicated as the real world economy, but it follows the same basic principle: supply and demand. You need to look for items that are low in supply and high in demand.
For example, in Realms where level 70 players dominates the majority of the population, the price of some lower level items may be very high, this is because higher level players need these items to level new professions or getting items for their Twinks.
10. WoW is very fair, there is no single way to farm the most gold, there are many! Just find the way that suits your play style the most and enjoy your way of gold farming. It’s a game after all!
I hope you picked up something new here, I use these very World of Warcraft gold farming strategies to farm hundreds of gold every day.
