Earning WoW Gold

[nobodyz]

I've been tri-boxing and starting to love it atm.. but i found that i am leveling so fast (lvl 33 atm) that i am so seriously out of gold to learn new skills !!

my main is getting skinning and herbalism and one of my alt is getting tailoring and enchanting (to disenchant items from tailoring and selling the mats). but the money is still not enough for me to learn all my skills..

what do you guys do to get those gold to learn ya skills? gold farming?

[alcattle]

Don't train all the skills. Get your main nuke spell and anything that will help kill things faster. The rest will wait. Can't skip training totally or you will find it takes forever to kill things.

ic... how bout in general? when does the gold income starts coming in? my friends told me when u get to lvl 80, u wil earn gp alot faster by doing quests..

but some of the items are hella ex.. like 5000 gold for flying training? omg...how long does that take!!

Gold starts rolling in at 60. Outland Quests average 2 gold each and the drops maybe 1-2 G each. With all the new gear you get and the same small amount of skills trained, you should hit 70 with 2k each, only gets better at 80 when I guess you get 15 G per quest. When I hit 80, I pretty much stopped questing but still have 5+ areas to finish. I got CWF at 77 which sped things up so much, you won't want to go without it. I was making good money before LK and rolled that into skill-ups but I had alot left over to train, more so after last patch.

wow.. its nice to hear that.. i guess i need to break the 60 barrier first.. haha..

i got another pair at 60 and stopped there cause i wanted to take advantage of the raf and lvl as much toons as possible.

Hmm not sure how you have been leveling but I am lvl 44 atm with about 1500g. Pretty much all of it has been made off instance loot, also cause I level only in instances all my gear is provided for by killing instance boss mobs.

ic.. you do 5-boxing? cuz i am only doing 3-boxing and instancing alone is not much of an option.. my leveling comes from quest as they give pretty good xp with the 300% bonus.. doing instances provide nice gp and gear but thats for 4 or 5-boxing if i were to do it alone.. my 3x shammy are 33 atm and stil using like.. lvl 20 gear from quests.. lol...

after i got the hang of tri-boxing.. its quite temping to go 5-boxing actually... and i am trying to resist it as my hardware is not good enuf..

I've got two bank alts, one on one account parked at the neutral AH in Booty Bay, and one parked in Stormwind on another account. As I grab loot I don't need, I vendor all gray trash, with the help of 'Auto sale' on Jamba, and send anything I don't need/want to my alt in Stormwind and toss on the AH there. The one I have in BB is setup to keep some 'Alliance-only' pets up on the AH to sale to the Horde. I'll delete this toon eventually when I need the room for another toon, but once in a while she'll draw in a good amount of money for me. Now so many people on my server do this, I don't get so much money from it. But my SW bank alt keeps alot on the AH and gets a good amount of money in return. Keep in mind, tossing armor gear and weapons on the AH will drain your bank quickly if you keep them up there and no one buys them. I Disenchant these now and sale the mats from them cause it costs less to no money to keep up. Linens for Tailoring/First Aid always sale too. So if you can some good spots to farm for those, try that for a while while you're leveling up. Even trash armor and weapons when vendored will bring in a nice income. Hell even the greens will too if you want to vendor those. I do sometimes when I need the extra cash. Try using Titan Panel ('http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/titan-panel.aspx') or Accountant Classic ('http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/project-4344.aspx') to track your income each day or in each area you're farming so you'll know the best places to hit up.

thanks bro ;) i do the same for one of my pair.. i get tailoring/enchanting. tailor to make bags and green items. enchanting to disenchant them.. i get good gold at the start but as i progress... the gold i m getting juz cant keep up..

at lower level, 5 gold is so much for my char.. now that they are 60.. 100 gold is almost close to nothing... haha...

but farming for cloth and making items to disenchant is a good way to earn easy gold... ;) u get gold for farming and gold for disenchanting and selling the mats ;)

[lans83]

Yea, I actually did that for my mage. He's 50 now with both Tailoring and Enchanting. I got alot of money off DEing greens I either made or found and didn't need. But I also invested alot of money into recipes for both professions. Spent alot on rare ones from instances I can/could never get. And for ones that were only world drops that would let me level up each profession that I could only find on the AH. Even today, the 16 slot Netherweave Bags sale fast on my server. So if you can make them yet, farm the cloth in Helfire Pen and make alot of those. They can generate a good income for you while you still pickup trash and money off the humanoids that drop the Netherweave Cloth. Once you get to Northrend, invest in making/selling the 20 Slot Frostweave Bags. Those damn things are goin for 100+ gold, sometimes even up in the 500g range on my server.

[Simulacra]

I do the ebon blade dailies which make 65g per char and take max 15 mins, if I have enough time and can be bothered due to serious daily burnout I do another 4 on the airship plus the ground assault one making 10 dailies all up which equals approx 750g, but this is rare as I usually can't be bothered. The best thing I ever did for gold was give my herb gatherer an epic flying mount, in one hour I can make between 350-400g av depending on the frost lotus drops, last week I got 5 in one run and they sell for 25g on my realm. Herb gathering is fun as it's a race with all the other farmers and the herbs sell well on the ah. Anything that gets returned in the mail is used by the herbal toon as he's also got inscription and sells glyphs. I find herbalism is better than mining on my realm as there seems to be more nodes, a greater demand and the ah list cost isn't as much. Best AH performance for 1 hour farming was 550g, worst 200g.

The biggest gold lesson I learned which I only occasionaly break is just don't buy anything that isn't beneficial for the long haul ie riding skill, training, really good crafted weapons at 80. Don't level a crafting profession without the complimentary gathering profession.There's enough quest gear and instance drops that are way better than anything crafted while levelling, at 70-80 it's a different story. I have a tailor, miner, engineer, herbalist, inscription and enchanter....my jewelcrafter is on standby while I gather levelling mats as I refuse to buy any and I'm thinking about an alchemist as I have a truckload of low level mats/recipes for that. Sorry for the ramble >.< The things I buy semi regularly are potions, gems and ocassionaly food when it's cheap. I'm not rich but I do have 4 gb tabs filled with mats/recipes/potions/boe gear for de/sell. Every week my enchanter checks his mail and de's the lot, makes bags and sells the bags/mats on the ah along with enchants. Sorry for the ramble again.

I have my 1 main do the dailies for the tournament in icecrown, thats about 80g. Thats enough for guys to level and buy a few leather pieces for the main, because he normally gets hit first.

I do spend way too much time skilling up and macro's for each class than. I only have 1 group of 5 that reached 60, i'm doing 3 groups now that are hitting 30 each. Trying to have them hit 60 before my raf 90 days is up.

If I had 5 at 80, minus the jousting quest, 320g dailie for a few minutes work. I'd rather spend an hour on my boxing, not much time left over when I'm also raiding 25 ulduar with the guild 2 times a week, maly, and a maybe a guild 25 man nax.

[Bovidae]

GoldBoxing(tm) at 80 is a joke.

Between dailies, quests and the superfluous amount of gold that farm raid bosses drop, I can't spend it fast enough. I just spent 24k on a set of Grand Ice Mammoths on Friday, and have already accumulated 6k since then.

As for gold while leveling, don't underestimate the value of the stuff you loot. Lowbie materials sell for what is a relative fortune. 10g is nothing for me to spend on a stack of cloth if I'm leveling a tradeskill, but if you sell 10 stacks, problem solved.

[laaglander]

sigh farming ftw..im assuming u asking this question means u dont have any 80's?
if u do have a 80, u should just log your main 1 evening and get enough gold to get all spells from 1 to 70+ x3 atleast..

for me its just logging my dk 314% fly speed and get some mining going..( make a titansteel bar )
then relog my priest to prospect and make profit..
this makes over 700g an hour easly, if u sell the stuff at the correct moment it will get u over 1k a hour.
I've proven it towards some friends, but the 1k is just when u get a good hour + nice AH value though.

as for other proffesions, ( enchanter ) greenies can make a great profit aswell, a stack infinite should sell for over 80g? maybe 100g
herbalism, get a alchemist to get flasks ( make sure u take the alchemist which is a potion master, depends on what u need though ),
if u make like 10 stacks of herbs and get flasks 2 procs would already mean good profit..

much more ways, even without proffesions ( farm meat / reputation stuff ).
Really any proffesion can get u gold.

at 33, just level your herb and skinning. you'll get into the more demanded items shortly at around level 40-50.

skin thick and rugged leathers.
herb: purple lotus, sungrass, kadghar whiskars and goldthorn.

for now, just level to your 40s. you'll be making quite a lot gold by the time you hit outland if you just stick to those level 40s herbs.

[nobodyz]

thanks for all the tips bro ;)

nice and super great forum.. probably one of the best ever..

i do hav a 80 hunter.. but seems hunter doesnt do much.. rofl..

i think i would try to get some gold with my hunter toon. atm, enchanting is still earning me a fair bit of gp.. avg 20gp/day.. need mats for tailoring to disenchant.. lol..

[hibiki]

What about checking the AH for cheap greens to disenchant? If I didn't box, that's where I'd get my gold from. Now I just box dailies.

[Starbuck_Jones]

Level 80 dailies is where its at. Until you get there I recommend that you take skinning and mining on your main tank. Sell it all and I would not even smelt the ore because jewelers can prospect it. Also this will give +crit and +sta to your tank so free buffs. I ran a test group of 5 paladins and by the time they were level 10 I had over 150g from selling the light leather, ore, gems, and stones. The only real tradeskill I would worry about leveling is enchanting. You are going to want this no matter what because selling an BOP epic that no one can use to a vendor for 4g is money down a rat hole over disenchanting it.

Having done a ton of professions it has its charm, but spending 90 minutes to run 20+ dailies and getting about 1500g you will be able to buy anything you need off the AH. Farming mats is only something I recomend you do untill you get to 80 and I would not activly farm anything. Just mine and skin when you happen upon it. You may have to activly level your mining at certain points though so you have enough skill when you get to a new area. Spending hours flying around looking for nodes is best left to the chineese.
