Making Warcraft Gold - Worth it?

If you have a high level character it's pretty easy to do an instance run or to use mining or herbalism to make a decent amount of gold.The problem is if you only have characters below level 40. You can trade the AH for some decent gold and can probably make up to 20 gold for an hour of effort once you know what you are doing. If this is enough, that's great but what if you need 400 or 500 gold

Trick Auctions

I'm describing this more as a warning than a way of making gold. I personally find it unethical but it's your call.A number of people have started putting items in the AH – usually enchanting or tradeskill items - with a very low bid and a ridiculously high buyout price hoping that buyers will see a bargain and get so excited that they click on the buyout button by mistakeFor example, as I write

Blizzard banning Linux users?

Disturbing news at TransGaming that Blizzard may have started banning Linux users:I think that perhaps one of the new "anti-cheat" mechanisms that Blizzard implemented can wrongly flag linux/cedega users as using banned software.

Shadowfang Keep

I recently started to twink a level 19 rogue for the battlegrounds and decided to equip him with two Assassin's Blade. Unfortunately several other people had the same idea and the only two available were priced at 400 gold a piece.The dagger drops mostly off the boss mob in Shadowfang Keep, Archmage Arugal. This instance is intended for groups in their low or mid 20's with the mobs ranging from

More on cross-faction pets

I've mentioned selling cross-faction pets in the neutral AH to make some easy Warcraft gold previously. If you are Allianace, you can sell Kittens (Cat Carriers) purchased in Goldshire. If you are Horde, you can sell snakes purchased in Orgrimmar.These both cost 50 silver and sell for about 4 gold in the neutral AH.The only problem with this is that not everybody visists the neutral AH. On

Easy Warcraft Gold for Horde

I made over 24 WoW gold yesterday with my level 4 Horde warrior.I'm sure you want to know how, so...I bought these few items in the Orgrimmar AH and from vendors in Org:Schematic: Red Firework from Sovik near the engineering trainer. Cost 18 silver each and I bought 2.Crimson Snake from Xan'tish who wanders around the Valley of Spirits. Cost 50 silver.Recipe: Savory Deviate Delight cost 1.5 and

Trading Enchanting Materials

I covered how to use disenchanting to make Warcraft gold in an earlier post. Taking this one step further it’s possible, and easy, to make plenty of gold without ever leaving the AH. You can do this by trading the enchanting materials you would normally place straight in the AH.I’ll illustrate this with an example using Greater Astral Essence. These normally sell for about a gold a piece on my
