I have played World of Warcraft for more than 3 years. Throughout the years, I came up with some great gold farming techniques that I use to farm WoW gold.
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. All the green items that you find should be saved and mailed to an alternative character, when you have collected bags full of them, you should tip (generously) an Enchanter to disenchant them. Shard and Dusts are selling at an incredible rate and I can only foresee even better outcomes when the Wrath of the Lich King comes out.
4. Using addons such as Gatherer and Auctioneer.
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. Here’s a Mining tip, Silver and Tin nodes share a spawn point. Same thing goes with Gold and Iron; and Truesilver and Mithril. It’s just that one is a rarer spawn than the other. For example, if you are only looking for Silver, you must mined the Tin nodes too, because if you don’t, eventually there will be nothing but Tin nodes left.
7. Take on the profession Inscription when Wrath of the Lich King launch. New professions will be in very high demand with little competition.
8. Prior to a WoW Seasonal event, purchase or farm items that are needed during these events. During certain times of the years, prices of certain items skyrocket. This is an excellent time to reap in the profits.
9. Understanding supply and demand. There is a given supply for every item in World of Warcraft, and there are also a given number of people looking for that item (demand).
Let’s look at this example, a server with 85% population being level 70s, the prices of some lower level items might be insanely high, this is because not only are these items in demand by lower level players, but also high level player’s alts. Depending on the item, they could also be in demand as mats for leveling professions.
10. Enjoy the game, there are so many methods to make decent amount of gold in WoW, you just have to pick one and be as efficient as possible with that one method. After all this is a game, you are here to have fun!
These 10 Gold Tips have certainly helped me tremendously in World of Warcraft, I hope it does the same for you.
