Want To Find Cheaper Raw Materials On The WoW Auction House?

Many of us goblin gold makers in World of Warcraft steer clear of farming our own raw materials like herbs, skins, and ores. We know that is a much better time investment to just purchase the materials at profitable prices from the WoW auction house. I’m not saying that we never farm for raw materials, but only in the most dire of circumstances or when we need a high demand, low supply item (like Khorium). Being that we are tied to buying our raw materials predominantly from the WoW auction house, we can only use the auction house prices of raw materials for determining the crafting costs and potential profits.

If the prices of those raw goods we need to craft aren’t at acceptable prices, then we must turn to our stockpile of stored raw materials. If our stockpile of WoW crafting raw materials is empty, then we are severely handicapped in our ways to make gold in WoW. I highly recommend shopping for raw crafting materials on a daily basis, regardless of whether you will be using them immediately or not. Always having a stockpile of raw materials purchased at reasonable prices to fall back on, will help weather the pricing spikes that you may see in the auction house.

How To Find Cheaper WoW Auction House Materials

One may to make more profit per sale is to find cheaper raw materials. When your costs to craft is cheaper, then you can sell for less and still make a profit or you can sell for the same prices and have more profit built into each transaction. Here are the 2 best tips I can give more finding cheaper raw materials on the WoW auction house.

Weekends see a flood of players and a flood of items on the auction house, which usually leads to cheaper prices on the weekends.
Morning shopping gives a better chance for cheaper materials than shopping throughout the day.

As more players have more play time on the weekends you will see prices trend downwards as more players equates to more sellers (more competition). As we talk about in the upcoming episode of The Auction House Junkies gold making podcast, shopping in the early morning, especially on weekend and Monday mornings, tends to give a better chance at finding lower priced raw materials on the WoW auction house. Why? Overnight there tends to be more sellers posting their goods at the end of the play day before they go to bed, while the numbers of buyers drops as players log off for the night. By the morning time, you can often find a lot of raw materials that have sat on the auction house all night and have seen undercutting and a flooding of posted goods. Since there are less people on in the wee hours of the night, less items sell and the prices continue to trend downwards until someone logs in during the morning and buys out all those cheaply priced raw materials. That person could be you.

Try changing your first log in time of the day to an early morning time. I like to check the auction house prices as I am getting ready for work in the morning so that I can quickly snatch up any of the goods that have trended downward overnight. Cheaper materials give me more profit so it’s worth logging in a few extra minutes in the morning to both get the cheaper goods for myself and to limit the availability to my competitors looking for the same low price goods.

WoW Ore Miner Farming: Rich Thorium Veins

Sweet Secluded WoW Miner Farming Spot: Rich Thorium Veins

Stagalbog Cave Is A Sweet Farming Spot

If you are a miner in WoW and are looking for a nice secluded sweet spot for farming Thorium Ore, then I have the location for you. The Stagalbog Cave is located along the South Eastern mountain ridges of Swamp Of Sorrows. I happened upon this cave with a character of mine as I was flying around looking over some of the Vanilla WoW zones. Sometimes I like to take the scenic route and farm up some ores or herbs in my travels instead of just taking the shortest route or the flight path. I have been selling the hell out of Arcanite Bars at the rate of 75 gold per Arcanite Bar! Someone has decided to take over the Arcane Crystal market and has raised the prices to 25 gold per Arcane Crystal (while my computer was down). Lol. I have plenty of the Arcane Crystals stored up from always paying 1 to 2 gold per Crystal. Anyways, while flying around I noticed the entrance of this cave and a multitude of Rich Thorium Veins poking out the cave entrance. The mini-map was lighting up multiple nodes located inside this cave. So I dropped down and started mining away and clearing my way through this cave. There are a ton of Thorium Veins and Rich Thorium Veins inside of the Stagalbog Cave. This allows for easy miner farming of Thorium Ore, Arcane Crystals, and the occasional gem.

Stationary Mining

Sometimes I am on the computer and not really playing WoW, but the game window is open. I may be crafting behind the scenes or sometimes I find a nice spot to park myself where I can just camp out. Think of it as stationary mining. I will be working on another project like a blog post or recording an episode of Auction House Junkies, but the WoW game will be open in the background. I can just keep an eye on mining veins to respawn on the WoW mini-up. I can hop in game, mine the nodes, then sit and wait for them to respawn while I continue to work on my other project. This cave is a great spot for stationary camping of the Rich Thorium Veins for farming Thorium Ore semi-afk and stationary.

How To Make Gold In The World Of WoW

Making Gold In The World Of WoW

Gold is a requirement for many things within the World of WoW. Therefor it is important to learn the major ways to make gold for yourself in the World of WoW. There are 6 main ways to make gold within the World of Warcraft. Most players use a combination of multiple gold making methods in order to secure their share of WoW gold. Every single player has the ability to make enough gold for themselves with a little planning and practice. Never risk your account’s security by buying gold for the World of WoW. Learn to make gold yourself and you can continue onwards towards a goal of financial freedom and independence.

6 Main Ways To Make WoW Gold

Looting
Questing
Farming
Flipping
Crafting
Other Oddities

Looting

Looting mobs for their gold and items to sell to the vendors is one of the most basic ways to collect gold in the World of WoW. Many adversaries will drop coins and items that can also be sold for more WoW gold. Looting is not the best use of your time as a gold maker.

Questing

Questing is another of the most basic ways to get gold in the World of WoW. As we complete quests we are awarded with coins and items for selling or disenchanting (if you are an Enchanter). While questing gold and rewards are a biproduct of leveling you character, there are still better more time efficient ways to make gold in the World of WoW.

Farming

Farming is one of the first steps that most players take on their path towards earning gold within the auction houses in WoW. Farming involves either killing select creatures or mobs for specific items that they drop or farming various material resources from out in the wild of the World of WoW. Farming is more commonly referred to for the gathering professions – Mining, Herbalism, Skinning, and Tailoring. Killing creatures or humanoids over and over for the items they drop is also commonly referred to as Grinding. Selling those farmed items on the auction house is a sure fire way to increase your gold reserves. Be sure to check out the Beginner’s Guide To Farming here at Goldgrub’s Goblin Academy.

Flipping

Flipping items is a very easy gold making strategy if you know what to buy and what to sell. Some npc vendors sell limited quantity recipes that are almost always going to sell for more on the auction house than you originally paid for the item from the original npc vendor. Once you understand the various markets and their market cycles in the World of WoW, you will be able to identify items that you can buy now and sell for more later. Grossly underpriced items can be snatched up and flipped for a near instant profit. So you can make gold off flipping items from other players or from items sold off of npc WoW vendors.

Crafting

Crafting involves the fine art of buying raw materials and converting those raw materials into finished usable products such as armor, gems, enchantments, weapons, glyphs, etc. Crafting is where we make the most of our profession choices in the World of WoW. Many of us serious gold makers have multiple crafting characters (commonly referred to as crafting mules if their sole purpose is just crafting) so that we can cover multiple markets by utilizing multiple crafting professions. Crafting is probably the best over all World of WoW gold making option as long as you are educated on what items to craft and sell for a profit.

Other Oddities For Gold Making

Other odd ways to make gold include options such as GDKP runs. A GDKP run is a run through a raid instance where all dropped items go up for auction and each member of the raid has the option to bid on the item and pay gold to win the item. The highest bidder of each items pays gold into the pot and at the end of the raid all gold is split evenly amongst all of the participants. This is a nice way to make gold with a higher level character and often the BoE items obtained from within the raid can sell on the auction house for far more than your winning GDKP bid.

Dancing naked on top of a mailbox and begging for tips are another oddball options that can earn you gold, although your time is almost definately more wisely invested in any of the other gold making options in the World of WoW.

So there you have it. The 6 main methods used in how to make gold in the World of WoW are all available to everyone of us. Using a combination of these gold making options in WoW will help secure your seat atop that throne of gold.

Murlocs, Coyotes and Cooking..Oh My!

September 2, 2011 Leave a Comment

My horde death knight is mainly pvp but I realized that his cooking was extremely low. I decided to check out my local auction house for some low-level meat to level up my cooking. Two of my recipes required clam meat and coyote meat. The auction house had none. I decided to find out where to farm these. I was hoping to stay in Kalimdor but unfortunately had to venture to Westfall (Alliance territory). I went to Longshore in Westfall and started from one side of the coast. I killed every murloc I came across (ahhh sweet revenge). The murlocs there drop small barnacled clams. These clams contain clam meat and sometimes a small lustrous pearl. I farmed for about 30 minutes and collected 40-45 small barnacled clams. The drop rate for the small barnacled clams was 1 in every 2 murlocs. Each of these clams contained 1 clam meat. I proceeded to the Jansen Stead area in Westfall and killed as many coyotes as I could find. These coyotes were also located near of Furlbrow’s Pumpkin Patch. Coyote meat drops from around 1 in every 4 coyotes. I farmed these coyotes for 30 minutes as well and picked up 25 coyote meats. I headed back to Orgrimmar so that I could start cooking.

Light My Fire

I ended up using only 20 of the clam meats and decided to put up the rest of the clam meat in the auction house in stacks of 5. Since there was none up for sale, I posted my clam meat for 45-50 gold per stack of 5. To justify this price, I figured the travel time, time spent farming and carrying charges. I only used 15 of the coyote meats and decided to post the other 10 up in stacks of 5 as well. Once again, there were none up for sale. I put the coyote meat up for 45-50 per stack of 5 utilizing the same justifications for the clam meat. By the time I was ready to log for the day, that all too familiar notification popped up in my general chat box: A buyer has been found for your clam meat. This repeated 4 more times indicating I had sold all of my clam meat. Sheer delight engulfed me. Then, not a minute later, I received more notifications. They read: A buyer has been found for your coyote meat. This repeated once more. Eureka! My farming had paid off. Interestingly enough, both meats had been purchased by the same buyer. No doubt, they were also leveling up their cooking and didn’t want to go out and farm for the meat.

I did a little personal research and found that the small barnacled clam also drops from coralshell lurkers in Azshara which is much closer to Orgrimmar. The coyote meat, however, only drops in Westfall. Although, you can level up to move to higher recipes with the clam meat and it is easier to acquire. Keep in mind these prices are realm dependent. Supply and demand on each realm varies. Whether you are trying to level up your cooking or make some extra gold, check your ingredients for your recipes and check your auction house to see what you can farm to raise your gold level.

Here Fishy Fishy…

August 26, 2011 2 Comments

Every time I see a yellow dot indicating a fishing pool, I fish. I do enjoy fishing even though most dread it. The one thing I have noticed on my realm is the lack of fish available for sale in the auction house. I decided to farm for any fish I could find in the areas I was questing. You must obtain a Weather-Beaten Journal to track these pools in your map. The Weather-Beaten Journal can be obtained in: daily fishing bags or any crate/box you pull up from fishing pools. This journal can only be learned when you have obtained a fishing skill of 100.

My Fishing Trip

I was out leveling up my mining skill on one of my toons when I decided to level up her fishing as well. Anytime I saw a specific pool on my map, I would plop down, turn on my music and fish in serenity. I probably did about 30 minutes of fishing in an area that was abundant with Oily Blackmouth and Firefin Snapper fishing pools. I obtained close to 30 Oily Blackmouth and about 20 Firefin Snapper. Since I had no use for the fish at that time, I decided to check the auction house and see what they were going for. One person had 1 Oily Blackmouth up for 10 gold. I ended up putting the Oily Blackmouth up for 30-35 gold buyout per stack of 5. Oily Blackmouth are used to make Blackmouth Oil for Alchemists. I checked the Firefin Snapper and saw that there were none for sale. I put the Firefin Snapper up for 45-50gold per stack of 5 just to see if they sold. Firefin Snapper is used to make Fire Oil which is also used for Alchemists. Within the day, all of my fish had sold. I checked my realm for different fish that I could fish for and ended up reaping in nice benefits. I farmed for fish for the next week and even had a guild mate make me a Lure Master Tackle Box to hold all my fish.

My Results

I gathered many stacks of different fishes for various professions. I sold 80-85% of all the fish I farmed for within 3 days totaling almost 1000 gold! Please note that every realm is different but nevertheless, a little research on which fish are selling great on your realm’s auction house is encouraged. You can check out The Undermine Journal for what fish are selling well on your realm. Even though fishing can be boring and tedious to some, don’t underestimate the profit you can get from farming these fish. I will also add that the Deepsea Sagefish sells for close to 175 per stack of 20 on my realm. This fish is used to create a delicacy which most healers and casters hunger for in 85 dungeons and raids. Even the two created foods: Delicious Sagefish Tail and Severed Sagefish Head sell for a nice profit on my realm. All you need to do is check out what is selling, grab your strong fishing pole and turn up the music. Oh, one more thing…it doesn’t hurt to say “Here Fishy, Fishy” as the pupils in your eyes turn into gold coins.

Farming For Cloth Can Increase Your Pocket Change

August 19, 2011 2 Comments

I logged in the other day to my level 68 Horde Death Knight and realized his pocket change was growing thin. He only had 25 gold and is a level 68. That was quite embarrassing. I decided to head over to Wailing Caverns and farm a bit. I ended up with close to 15 wool cloth and 20 linen cloth along with some uncommon (greenies) items. I headed over to the Auction House to put up my cloth and see if I could sell it. To my amazement, linen cloth was going for 15 gold per stack of 20 and wool cloth was going for 25 gold per stack of 20! I immediately put my cloth up and within 1 hour it was sold. The amount of gold made will vary on realm and auction house prices since they do change and depend on supply and demand.

My Farming Adventure

I headed over to Deadmines and snatched almost 40 wool cloth and 10 linen cloth. I decided to head over to Scarlet Monastery dungeons and see what cloth I could get there. After running the Library and Armory, I walked out with around 80 silk cloth. I put those up in the auction house for around 20-25 gold per stack of 20 and sold those within the hour. I decided to head over to Stratholme dungeon and see what cloth might drop there for me. I did the Main Gate and ended up with around 100 mageweave cloth. I put those up on the auction house for around 15-18 gold and that sold withing 2 hours. My guildmate told me to go to Blackrock Depths for runecloth, so I went with her and came out with almost 140 runecloth. Those sold in the auction house for 20-25 gold per stack of 20. I went to Auchindon and ran a couple of the dungeons there with a guildmate and came out with close to 100 netherweave cloth. Even though it wasn’t selling very high on my realm, I still made a nice profit from it. I went to Northrend and farmed and grinded quests there with two guildmates. I ended up with 120 frostweave cloth. I went to look frostweave cloth up on the auction house and saw that someone had put a stack of 20 up for 175 gold! I immediately put my own stack up for 100 gold and it sold within two hours. I only sold two stacks since someone came and undercut my outrageous buyout but realized that frostweave cloth seemed to be the cloth that will net the most profit in my realm. I will be farming and grinding for more of that cloth until I reach 80 and can go for embersilk cloth next.

Places You Can Farm For Cloth

So here is a short list of areas and/or dungeons where I personally farmed cloth (drops may vary depending on location):

Linen cloth – Wailing Caverns (Horde) Elwynn Forest (Alliance)

Wool cloth – Deadmines dungeon (Horde and Alliance) The Stockade dungeon (Alliance)

Silk cloth - The Scarlet Monastery dungeons (Horde and Alliance)

Mageweave cloth – Stratholme dungeon (Horde and Alliance) Zul’Farrak dungeon (Horde and Alliance)

Runecloth – Blackrock Depths dungeon (Horde and Alliance)

Netherweave cloth – Auchindon dungeons (Horde and Alliance)

Frostweave cloth – Northrend mobs and dungeons (Horde and Alliance)

Embersilk cloth – Cataclysm zones and dungeons (Horde and Alliance)

Cloth can be used for creating bags, armor and bandages. Since most people don’t enjoy farming, you will profit from that. Don’t forget to check your realm’s auction house for prices before you put them up. Farming for cloth is an easy way to make quick gold and increase your pocket change.

WoW Beginner Tips & Tricks For Farming

WoW Beginner Farming Tips & Tricks

Farming For Beginners

In World of Warcraft, there are many options for making gold. You can choose to sell items on the auctions house. You can choose to craft items to sell or craft and enchant for tips. One of the easiest markets to get into is farming in WoW for raw materials to post on the auction house. Why is farming an easy option for beginning players? Farming requires only a time investment; no gold investment is required to profit from farming in World of Warcraft. So a brand new player can train for skinning, mining, or herbalism profession and farm materials while playing the game and leveling. Another option is to dedicate some time to strictly farming the raw materials. Both options require just the profession skill and either a skinning knife for Skinning or a Mining pick for Mining. Herbalists just use their bare hands or paws to farm herbs in WoW.

Beginner Tips and Tricks For Farming

Here is a handful of tips and tricks that you should consider when getting started as a beginning farmer in World of Warcraft.

When farming keep your bags as empty as possible when you get started farming. More bag space means you can carry more raw materials before having to return to either town or a mailbox.
WoW Beginner Tips: Bigger bags are better. For the same reason, more space means longer possible WoW farming sessions.
Try to keep your gathering skill leveled before moving onto new questing areas. You don’t want to have to go back to lower level zones or go back to kill grey mobs that award no experience.
Set your hearth close by if sending items via the mailbox or set your hearth in a major city with an auction house, if selling the items directly from your farming character. Time is money friend.
If you are a dual-gatherer Skinner-Miner, save bag space with a combo gathering tool like a Bladed Pickaxe, which functions as a mining pick and a skinning knife.
Farming during off-hours means less competition for resource nodes and skinable mobs.
When selling your raw materials, you don’t always have to post them for the lowest price. Many items like raw materials sell in great numbers and selling them as the cheapest isn’t required for your items to sell.
If you are out farming for skins and hides with the Skinning profession, target creatures that can drop extra valuable items in addition to your targetted skins and hides. Examples: Yetis drop coins in addition to skins and hides. Dragon Whelplings can be found on some Dragon Whelp type creatures, but they also are skinable. Why not try for a rare drop as a possible extra bonus to farming the skinning materials?
Research your targeted farming materials on a site like Wowhead.com. Know where you are headed and find the best spot with the best creatures to farm. If you are farming for a specific rare item drop, then be sure to farm in an area where the item has the best chance of dropping.
Vendor all of your garbage you find. In the span of a farming essions you will collect a lot of grey items that are only good for 1 thing – selling to a vendor. These items add up and can bring in a nice amount of gold, especially if farming in some of the higher level zones in World of Warcraft.
Don’t forget to bring along some food and mana for less down time. A nice buff food can help speed up your farming session, if you are farming creatures or humanoids, since it will increase your damage and decrease your time on each kill.
If there is another player farming in your area, it may be more efficient to find a new area instead of competing with them for the same resources.

Now get out there and farm up some materials to sell on the auction house to get you started learning how farming influences the markets in the World of Warcraft auction houses of Azeroth.

Farming In World of Warcraft

July 16, 2011 1 Comment

What Is Farming ?

In World of Warcraft, “farming” has two meanings, depending on the way it is phrased.

Gold Farming means the business activities, mostly associated with China, of players who use hacks, bots, or cheats to make as much world of warcraft gold as possible and sell it to regular players in exchange for real money. This is why farming has a bad reputation.

Farming mobs, or grinding, is an activity done by regular players to earn world of warcraft gold. Repeatedly killing the same mob, group of mobs or all humanoids, beasts, elementals in one area in order to loot their treasure is a valid and legal way to earn more gold and more experience (XP) in world of warcraft.

Things you can farm:

gold silver and copper coins
cloth from humanoid mobs
metal ores from ore nodes
herbs, using herbalism ‘find herbs’ skill
materials for crafting
treasures and loot

Disadvantages of grinding. Grinding the same mobs, killing the same things in the same way again and again can become boring and repetitive. Some players watch the TV, listen to music or watch movies whilst they are farming. Alternately you can break up your grinding by moving between several areas.

Popular spots to farm in World of Warcraft are Ferelas (yetis give leather and gold), Arathi Highlands for ore and herbs, and Twilight Highlands for the highest level most experienced players.

I Wanna Be A Blood Elf: Farming The Blood Elf Bandit Mask

July 1, 2011 9 Comments

I made a gnome rogue and decided I was going to use him specifically for PVP Battlegrounds. I got his Bind On Account Sharpening Kris Daggers and had a guildmate make him some nice leather gear. I even picked up a couple of twink pieces. Nevertheless, I felt he needed something to make him more vicious and feared in the battlegrounds. When I ran through the Deadmines he picked up a red bandit mask which was soulbound. It sufficed but I still felt there was something better out there for him.

A fellow guildmate told me about the Blood Elf Bandit Mask which was a cool looking head-piece but was also a very rare drop. I decided to go farm for this mask. I was told that the Blood Elf Bandit was located in and around Azuremyst Isle which is located just outside of Exodar. The Blood Elf Bandit is a level 7 and can be killed by both Alliance and Horde. The mask itself has a 3% to 14% drop rate. I took my high level Death Knight and went to go searching for this elusive bandit. I don’t have an add-on to give me the coordinates as to where this guy spawns so I had to just run around the island and find him on my own.

How To Make A Macro For The Blood Elf Bandit

One helpful tip that worked for me while farming him was to make a macro that I could use without having to do too much searching. Here are the steps to make this macro:

Hit escape to go to your game options and then click on macros
Click on new then
Enter a name for your macro and choose an icon then click Ok
Type: /target Blood Elf Bandit
Click save
Left click on the macro icon and carry it over to any box in your user interface

My Blood Elf Bandit Trip

I made myself a specific route to go farm the bandit. I started from Exodar and headed north up the roadside. Near of each spawn point, I clicked on my BELF macro. I past the first spawn point with no luck. I reached the second spawn point and saw his character box pop up to the right of mine at the top of the screen. On my mini map I saw exactly where he was. I death gripped him and killed him instantly. I observed his lifeless body laying next to me and laughed as only a Worgen can. I clicked on him to loot him and found only 5 copper and an Alliance quest to turn in. I proceeded to go up and around the road which curved to the right and then back down south. As I came over the bridge, I clicked on my macro and found him again at the next spawn point. I killed him and quickly looted his body. I received 7 copper and my first Blood Elf Bandit Mask! I kept going down the road south which would eventually go right through Azure Watch. I passed two spawn points but no blood elf appeared. After I passed through Azure Watch, I proceeded south and halfway to Odyseus Landing, I took a small road that veered me west. I passed another spawn point but still the bandit was eluding me. As I came to a “Y” in the road, I clicked on my macro and found the bandit behind a lamppost. I killed him with one hit and looted him. What luck! I received another blood elf bandit mask. I went south down the first small road and checked his next spawn point but no luck. I went back north on the road until I got back to the “Y” and made a left to go west. I clicked the macro but he was not at his next spawn point. I made a beeline north from that point to go back to the main road between the boat and Exodar. When I reached the road, I turned east and proceeded to take the road which curved back north to my original starting point. The last spawn point was coming up and I clicked on my macro. There he was! I killed him again but no mask, just 5 copper. I sat there for maybe 10 seconds and was about to leave when I heard that all too familiar “stealth” sound. The Blood Elf Bandit had respawned in the same place I just killed him at. I whacked him and looted his body. 6 copper is all he had on him (what a cheap skate). I was just about to mount up and head back to Exodar when I heard that “stealth” sound again! He respawned. I killed him and to my luck, he dropped the mask again! I waited for another 30 seconds to see if I was really lucky to catch him a fourth time. He didn’t respawn. I headed back to Exodar with 3 Blood Elf Bandit Masks in my possession.

Map For Farming The Blood Elf Bandit

I have included a map of Azuremyst Isle with the spawn points for the bandit. I have also included the route. I went in a clockwise motion but one can go either way if they choose. This bandit spawns right near of the main road you are following so you don’t have to stray off the road to find him. Use your macro to spot him easier and faster.

How To Get To Azuremyst Isle

Alliance: You may either take the boat or flight path from Rut’theran Village, Teldrassil.

Horde: You may take the boat from Rut’theran Village but be forewarned you will have to sneak on and may get flagged PVP.

Blood Elf Bandit Mask = Nice Profit At The AH

I ended up returning to Azuremyst Isle later that week and farmed 4 more masks within 2 hours. I kept some of the masks for my guildmates and myself but put the extra masks up on the Auction House for 1000 gold buyout. They sold. This is a great twink/vanity mask for any of the classes but it looks much better on a rogue. Who wants to be a blood elf? I do. [Read more...]
