wow gold
this is another fantastic guide that i have found on the main wow community forums. this one is basically a how-to guide on making tons ofworld of warcraft gold. it will tell you what to do so you will always have enoughwow goldwow goldwow gold money for that mount and anything else you may need gold for, but it does take some time to accomplish. if you are short on available play time or want to make the gold asap then here is awow goldwow goldguide that i use quite a bit.
again, this is how i made my money. ive been playing this game since the first week it came out and ive never made an altthis guide is truly the path i took from lvl 1-60 (with a few modifications here and there as lessons learned from my mistakes!)
there is hundreds of ways to make money in this game. you be a gatherer the entire time, selling mats and make money. you could do nothing but manipulate the auction house and make money. you could grind areas that are known to drop rares and epics and make money. theres tons of ways, this is just my way. enjoy!
phase one levels 1-40 hunting and gathering
so youre just starting world of warcraft, youve picked your race and class (gnome rogues ftw!), and youre at the point where you get to pick two professions. you might say to yourself oooh im a rogue so ill get leatherworking so i can make my own armor! or im a warrior so ill get blacksmithing so i can make my own weapons!ok just stop right there n00b! lemme tell you a little secret about all those cool crafting professions
***with the exception of a handful of items per crafted profession,ugg boots, you wont make money! and hey guess what, those few items that are profitable are pretty much unattainable at lower levels!***
i hate to rain on your parade so early on, but its better i tell you up front than watch you waste what little gold you earn trying to level up your crafting profession. the problem with crafting professions is that you fall into the trap that i like to call skill leveling fever, where you will do whatever it takes to raise the skill of yourugg boots profession. some of you will say ya gen, but thats why you take a complimentary gathering profession so you can farm your own mats. this is true, but you will very quickly reach a point where the materials you require will be unattainable at your characters level. and what are you gonna do, wait until you can farm them yourself? hell no, i know you better than that! youre gonna go run to the ah and start buying materials for the sole purpose of leveling your crafting profession. welcome to the poorhouse!
so instead, pick two gathering professions. the cool thing about gathering professions is that you start making money right awaywalk up to a mineral vein or a plant or a dead animal and grab those mats! its 100% profit! and since you are going to be spending a lot of time running around doing quests and killing animal sit only makes sense to take advantage of gathering professions. mining and herbalism are the biggest moneymakers, but since they share the minimap, i usually will pick mining or herbalism and then pick up skinning.
the one negative thing about gathering professions is youll find your bags fill up very quickly. dont worry, the first thing youre gonna buy are 14 slot bags. these things cost like 2g50s on my server, which youll have after selling like 4 stacks of whatever you got.
buy 4 of these 14slot bags, youll need the space! at this point some people make alts that sit near the auction house and they mail all their mats to the alt. this is a good idea for someto me it would drive me nuts having to mail stuff all the time
also, items with grey text are vendor trash, meaning you sell them to a vendor. always pick up the vendor trashat your level every little bit counts. if its white text, that means its used in a profession somehow. hold onto it and see what its worth on the auction house. if you can sell it to the vendor for 25s but sell it on the ah for 50s youve just doubled your profit! dont laugh at 50s profit eitherdo that 1000 times (which you will do this 1000s of times in this game) thats 500g!
you should becheap wow gold making more than enough money to pay for new skills, updated armor and weapons, gryphon flights, stupid noncombat pets (hey i love em too!) etc. but keep in mind you are working towards two things when you hit lvl 40: 1. buying your mount, which is going to cost you 90g
2. preparing for your first crafting profession, which will take money to level and buy schematics/patterns/recipes/etc.
you cannot enter phase two until you have purchased your mount and have like 100g in savings. trust me on this one.
