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

  1. Looting
  2. Questing
  3. Farming
  4. Flipping
  5. Crafting
  6. 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.

Leveling Your Alt Toon

nabbey 300x176 Leveling Your Alt ToonSo, you decided to make an alt toon but are dreading the leveling you will have to face? No worries anymore. WOW has made it quite simple to level your toons a bit faster.  If you have a main toon that is 85, you can always send mats, gold etc to your alt toon to help it along with professions as well.  Mining and Herbalism do grant you extra experience if you choose to learn these specific professions.

Guild Perks

First of all, if your toon is an alt, you may already be part of a guild which has guild perks. One great guild perk is achieved at Guild Level 2.  This guild perk gives your toon an extra 5% increase when completing quests and killing monsters.  If you are part of a guild whose level is already 6, you get a 10% increase when completing quests and killing monsters.

Blue Bar, Blue Bar!

No matter which starting area you start at or which faction you choose, questing is easy.  I went up to level 5 easily within 30 minutes of playing my alt toon.  One thing you want to make sure of before you turn in any quests is that your experience bar (which is located above  your ability/user interface bar) is blue and not purple.  When you turn in a quest and your bar is blue, you get 200% of the experience instead of 100%.  You will turn purple if you fight or kill something but if you are simply turning in quests, your bar can remain blue as long as you rest at an inn or major city.  This means you must stay there until your bar turns blue or leave your toon and log off for a bit.

Quests

Questing is a great way to level up your toon as well.  I usually take quests which are orange (coloring of the quest title) and yellow.  If a quest turns green on me, I will abandon it.  Keep in mind as you are completing quests, you are also killing monsters, beasts, etc.  So you are getting experience from killing things as well as completing the quests.  Don’t forget to rest at an inn or any major city before you turn in your completed quests.

Battlegrounds

Once you reach level 10, you unlock two battlegrounds: Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin.  The interesting thing about battlegrounds is that if you enter while your experience bar is blue, it will not turn purple when you are playing a battleground.  Of course, you can earn honor points and experience in these battlegrounds.  You can receive double experience and honor points if one of the battlegrounds happens to be Call To Arms as well.  Your honor points can be stored (cap is 4000) until you are ready to purchase something with them.

Dungeons

When you reach level 15, you are eligible to enter random dungeons.  Dungeons are another great way to level your toon quick.  Not to mention, you will get gold, extra experience and a bag of goodies which usually contain a rare piece of gear.

Questing, battles and random dungeons are all great ways for you to level up your alt toon.  Chances are you may know the quests from previous toons as well as the dungeons.  I have seen some of my guild mates level up 10 levels very quickly.  Hopefully these basic tips can help you when you are ready to make an alternate toon.  Good luck!
