Earning WoW Gold

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
