Top World of Warcraft Gold Farming Techniques
1. For maximum gold, your very first character must take on at least 1 gathering profession, preferably Mining as it supports 3 crafting professions.
2. Auction every single item that is not gray. Mass mail everything to an Alt to save time.
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. Become a supplier for “crafters” in top guilds in your Realm. These chumps go through mats like water, they are constantly in demand. Even selling them at a lower price will benefit you in the long run.
6. When Mining, keep in mind that Silver and Tin shares a spawning node; Gold and Iron shares another one; and the same applies for Truesilver and Mithril. For example, if you are only looking for Gold Ores, you MUST mine all the iron nodes as well because this will increase the overall Gold Node spawns.
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. Selling seasonal items. Take a look at the Blizzard’s calendar and look for upcoming in-game events. You would be surprised to see the demand for certain items jumps up to 10x at certain times of the year.
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, 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 Gold Tips have certainly helped me tremendously in World of Warcraft, I hope it does the same for you.
