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. We all know how well Dusts and Essences sell in the Auction House, instead of vendoring or auctioning the greens that you find, tip an Enchanter to disenchant them and sale the dusts and Essences.
4. Get addons: Auctioneer, Gatherer, Atlasloot, TitansPanel (or FuBar). This provides some very useful additional information that the default UI does not offer.
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. If you are a more advanced player, jump on the new profession Inscription when Wrath of the Lich King comes out. I made the mistake of not choosing Jewelcrafting when Burning Crusade launched. It was too late when I realized how profitable a new profession is, especially in the beginning when there is very little competition.
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 the basic World of Warcraft economy. It revolves around the basic concept of supply and demand. There must be both for any gold to be made.
Let’s look at this example, on a Realm like Mal’Ganis where it is dominated by raiding guilds, the demand for certain items (pots and flasks?) will be very high, if the supply cannot match the demand, the price will rise to balance things out.
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 World of Warcraft Gold Tips and Strategies have worked great for me, I hope you learned something from them.
