Farming Gold In World Of Warcraft With These 5 Tips

By Joanne Keith

Within the World of Warcraft, the players have plenty of ways to farm gold but many of them still feel like to try out the buying way, which is quite risky, needless to say. Rather than spending money for gold, I have spent a lot of my time learning and improving my gold farming skills in this game and I had quite a bit of success with it. In my first year, I managed to trade epic flyers for five characters.

If you are just starting out to make gold, the best way I can suggest is to gather items. Anything from mining, herbalism, skinning, fishing, cooking mats or cloth can all make you some good amount of gold!

Here are some tips you can use in farming gold.

1. Invest about half an hour a day in gathering mats. In the long run, that will accumulate to a big amount and you can sell those for many gold at the Auction House. As more and more people have moved to Northend, the supply of Northend mats is getting higher. However, you can get mats in Outland and even in Pre B.C. to avoid those competition.

2. Reverse engine and find out items with less competition in the Auction House, and then go about farm them.

3. Do you know which items are easy to get and easy to sell? Just to give you an idea - the deviate fish in the Barrens can sell for about 15 gold per stack, and they are not that hard to fish. You should have no problem netting 2 stacks of them in just 30 minutes.

4. If you keep frequenting the Auction House, you will have a very good feel of the prices of different items. Don't get panic when the price of a particular items drops, as fluctuation happens just like the real world. Just hold the item for a few more days, and you may find its price picks up again.

5. Sites like Thott or Wowhead are also helpful resources, as they will provide you with ideas of how much an item usually sells in the Auction House. Keep those information in your mind will help you avoid underpricing your items, and you may even spot an under-priced item and do an arbitrage immediately.

The tips contained in this article my seem basic and boring, but don't under-estimate their effectiveness. In case you are just starting out, avoiding shortcuts will only help you in the long run. Advanced techniques can be learned as you move on.
