World of Warcraft Gold Making Guide

BasicsI'll start of with the basics.You'll want to get Skinning and Mining as your main professions. I would have stated fishing before they nerfed it, and it's still semi-viable...But not anywhere near as good as it used to be.Skinning Skinning, the only way to powerlevel is just killing mobs and skinning them. I picked it up from the beginning, so I can't say how long this will take.Sell your

World of Warcraft Copper Mining Tip

This is a simple tip on how to make money at low level. Would be easier if you were an Orc or Troll because of their starting location. Orcs and Troll starts in durotar, for other races you will need to travel a bit further but it should all work pretty well.You will need to become a Journeyman miner and purchase a mining pick to begin. Durotar has the highest number of copper veins so would be

Reselling With a Twist

I've been investigating one of the suggestions left to me in a comment: find items that can be bought, re-worked into something else, then sold for a profit.

The results are going to disappoint you. Given the variable pricing of different servers, different factions, even different days, prices are just too variable to say: "Here are some items that can be bought low and crafted and resold, always."

Really, the best way to approach this kind of thing is on an individual level. I can say, with some authority, that there are very few instances where you will be able to reliably make a big profit by buying materials and crafting them into new items to sell for profit. There are some notable exceptions, aside from just hoping someone stupidly sells something for too low:

Rare Crafting Recipes. Yes, those blue and purple schematics, plans and patterns that you see selling for hundreds of gold. If you're really going to make it work, you need a rare crafting item. Everyone else can make the vendor recipes, and do, so even if you do find the materials for a good deal, the new item will be worth very little. Actually, it's often the case that the new item is worth LESS than the materials, because demand for raw materials tends to be higher than for individual items.

Okay, so let's say you have one of those rare patters, either bought (easiest), or found (pain in the #!@%$). I hope you did some research on what the item requires to be made, because you can get screwed here with a final product worth less than the materials. A good example that I am familiar with is shield spike recipes - these recipes sell for a lot. I almost never see the spikes themselves for sale, simply because so few people bother to farm or buy the recipe. The same holds true for other professions. If you see a recipe for sale, and notice that you rarely see that ITEM for sale, consider the market wide open. It does take some individual research, and you'll be out a chunk of change if you buy the recipe, but over time you stand to make it back and then some!

Really quickly, here are some little deals to keep an eye out for:
  • Motes. Sometimes you can buy 10 motes for less than the 1 primal.
  • Unworked Cloth, Ore: Sometimes you can find the raw form, work it into a bolt of cloth, fel iron, whatever, and sell it for a profit.
  • Uncombined enchanting items: Anything that can be used individually, or turned into something else when you get 3 of them, 10 of them, etc.
  • Alchemy ingredients to turn into potions
It's a small list, and I'm sorry for that. If you want me to add stuff, leave a comment and I'll add it. Unfortunately, if it were easy to turn a big profit from buying-crafting-reselling, the market would be flooded with those items, and so balance itself out.

Using The Auction House To Create Cheap Gold

There are multiple ways to create "cheap" gold at the auction house but due to time i'm only going to share one way in this guide. Keep in mind that I will be adding more guides later and more auction house guides also. I call it "cheap" gold because you do not have to spend real money to get this gold! I guess I should call it FREE gold instead.Buy low, sell high! You always hear that but how do

Turtle Skinning for Gold - Levels 35-40

Just wanted to write the way I made easy cash and got my mount plus all my skills and 3-14 slot bags atlvl 40. First of all this works best if you have skinning at least and with leatherworking up to master lvlyou are going to profit big. Once you hit lvl 35 go to Menethil Harbor and take the boat to Theramore.From there grab the flight path for later use if you don't have it already then simply

Starting a World of Warcraft Herbalist

Get to at least level 5 and learn the herbalism profession. Already we know that Herbalism is a very money ridden profession, and with that, comes the idea that with just a little effort, you can be rich with only a few hours work. This works the best if you are the Undead race, but also will work as Human, or Tauren. Like stated before, be sure to pick up the herbalism profession (and for added

Finally! Paid Name Changes

Blizzard has announced that they will change your character's name to an available, allowable name for $10 and I say, "It's about time!". This is an administrative service that should have been available from the beginning, in my opinion. Regardless, it's available now (on selected servers) and here are the rules:It's $10 per name change.You can't change your name again for 90 days and your old

Selling Your Junks to get wow gold

Obviously one of the things that motivates players the most is earning gold. Gold gets you newequipment, better abilities, and in my opinion, just looks good in high quantities. So how do youmake gold? Mining is one way, but running instances like the deadmines combines mining to getbronze with lots of magic/wool/linen drops. And if you can run it alone, plenty of coin drops fromthose elites! I

Selling World of Warcraft Traveler's Backpack

Very good way to get lots of WoWgold is by selling Traveler's backpacks. I do mean ALOT! Usually,Alliance are two times or even three times more populated than hordes. To start your main have to be on Horde side, because he'll be getting the money. You will also need to have an Alliance character. Farm a little bit money for your Alliance character, when you get about 20g, go to the nearest AH

The Daily Quests

Okay, here we go, time for me to go over daily quests. If you don't know why they are good, here is why: there are about 15 daily quests over all of the factions, and they give an average of 10g or so per. However, you can only do 10 per day, so plan accordingly! This is how people usually get the 5,000 they need to get their flying mount! Anyway, here we go!

Netherwing Quests
First of all, you need to be Neutral with Netherwing to begin the daily quests. If you aren't neutral yet, follow this link to the WoWHead list of the quest chain, with lots of helpful comments! Netherwing is the faction that allows you to get a Netherdrake at the end of the long, long road.

Once you are Neutral (9 quests later), and have some sort of flying mount, you can do the dailies. Here they are, with links to WoWHead for details. I will include gold approximates, but if you want the real skinny on them, follow the links.

Netherwing Crystals : 12g, 250 rep
A Slow Death : 12g, 250 rep
The Not-So-Friendly Skies : 12g 250 rep

When you get to Friendly, more become available.
Picking Up the Pieces : 18g, 350 rep
Dragons are the Least of our Problems : 12g, 350 rep
Booterang: A Cure For The Common Worthless Peon : 12g, 350 rep

At Honored you can begin to do one more.
Disrupting the Twilight Portal : 12g, 500 rep

Two more become available at Revered.
The Deadliest Trap Ever Laid (Scryers) : 12g, 500 rep
The Deadliest Trap Ever Laid (Aldor) : 12g, 500 rep


Skyguard Quests
There are two Skyguard quest hubs, one north of Skettis in Blackwind Landing, and Skyguard Outpost, in Blade's Edge Mountains. You need to do do these prereqs before you can do dailies. Skyguard is the faction that allows you to get a Nether Ray at Exalted.

Threat from Above : 250 rep
To Skettis! : 10 rep

Now, the dailies.
Fires Over Skettis : 12g, 350 rep
Escape From Skettis
: 12g, 350 rep


Ogri'la Quests
To do the Blade's Edge Mountains quests, you need to unlock the Ogri'la quest chain. The best 2 Ogri'la dailies also give rep for Skyguard, which is handy!

Speak With the Ogre
Mog'Dorg the Wizened

Even Gronn Have Standards
Grulloc Has Two Skulls
Maggoc's Treasure Chest
Grim(oire) Business
Into the Soulgrinder
Speak With Mog'Dorg
Ogre Heaven

There are two pre-quests to being able to do Ogri'la dailies (28, 56, Blade's Edge)
The Crystals
An Apexis Relic

Now for the dailies:
The Relic's Emanation : 12g, 250 rep, 15 Apexis Shards

When you get Friendly, do these pre quests:
The Skyguard Outpost
Bombing Run
Wrangle Some Aether Rays

That opens up Bomb Them Again! : 12g, 500 rep (Ogri'la AND Skyguard), 15 Apexis Shards
and Wrangle More Aether Rays! : 12g, 350 rep (Ogri'la AND Skyguard), 15 Apexis Shards

Once you get Honored, you can do Banish the Demons
Which opens up Banish More Demons : 12g, 350 rep

That's a lot of quests! I hope I presented it in a form that makes it easy to understand. As always, leave a comment if you need to point something out to me; I always read them!

Ten Ways Players Leave Guilds

I’ve stated before that when I play MMOs, I typically will end up joining a guild. Normally I will do this through the normal course of the game, researching guilds and perhaps getting referred by people I happen to group with. So I join a guild. Now let me say that my guild experiences thus far have been good (except for one bone-headed mistake I have only myself to blame for!). But no matter

The History of the World (of Warcraft) Part I

It appears that it is time for me to branch out from my usual silly antics here on WoW Insider, and take a moment to flex my writing skills instead of my artistic ones. Today I would like to speak to you about some of the long history of WoW, but not in the "Know Your Lore" sense of history. WoW Insider reader Tim wrote in to request some information on the evolution of World of Warcraft, from

Optimized WoW Gold Farming Techniques

This is the advice I give to friends. When setting up your character, be sure first to read about the characters plus, and minuses; then set up for the strong and weak points. Take in consideration how the character supports himself and how the character can keep going and keep on track to level without losses.Don't spend money on items at the auction during the first 10 levels of your character.

Low Level Disenchanting - Easy Cash

If you are struggling to find a second profession you ACTUALLY USE, pick up enchanting.No no no, I know what you're thinking "Leveling enchanting is expensive......and I don't wanna stand around town shouting Enchanting blah blah".I hear you, and that's why many people avoid enchanting, but here's the deal. When you "disenchant" items, you get enchanting materials such as "Strange Dust", "Magic

Help me!

That time again, everyone. I'm having trouble deciding what to put up. I'm also starting to have problems remembering what I have ALREADY put up, which I guess is a good thing, because it means I've posted a lot.

Anyway, someone give me some suggestions, please? Class-specific, level-specific, zones, etc etc.
Leave a comment! Thanks!

Low Level (20-25ish) - 3 Gold per Hour

This is not very revolutionary, but I just wanted to pass on a method I use for making ~2.5 to 3 gold in a 30-40 minutes..Specifically, I told a friend that I would help him do Van Cleef the other night. I am level 31 paladin, he was level 24 hunter. Had a level 29 priest with us too. We were waiting for a couple other people to join us just outside the instance when the priest had some emergency

Silvermoon University holds class in Azeroth

Silvermoon Unversity is an interesting little guild-- they go above and beyond the call of RPing over on Twisting Nether. The guild is run as a real university inside Azeroth. Instead of guild officers, they have "Instructors," new guildies are called Freshmen, and so on. "Higher education meets the Horde" is their motto. That's great.And it all translates into guild activities, too-- they take

World of Warcraft on Your 360?

Playing World of Warcraft on your XBox 360? Blasphemy! Blizzard said this would never happen!Ok, ok, don't get your panties all in a bind. While this development isn't exactly playing WoW on your 360, it's the next best thing. Xfire is now releasing a nice bit of free software that allows you to use your 360 controller to play WoW on your PC. Sure, something similar was done in the distant past,

Making More than 1000 Gold a Day With Jewelcrafting

With the addition of jewelcrafting to the list of crafting options in World of Warcraft, the opportunity to make large sums of gold in a single day also rose. There are numerous methods to do so, but I will share one in particular that has worked incredibly well in the past.First off, you’re going to need a supply of Adamantite Ore, something that costs about 20-30 gold per stack in the auction

Work, work, work

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the slow posting schedule lately. This is the time of the quarter when I tend to get really quite busy! Also, it's taking more and more time to find, research, and add decent tips. Anyway, the reason for the post! I will be delaying until Friday, unfortunately. I'm not going to be home much these next two days. I've tried to never put more than 4 days between posts, but Friday will break that tradition, unfortunately. Just wanted to let you all know!

Fishing for Motes of Water

Tired of grinding water elementals? Have a high fishing skill you never use?

Well, let's be honest. Grinding water elementals is probably the most efficient way to get motes of water. Fishing, great skill though it is, isn't one many people keep up to snuff in Outlands. However, aside from being able to fish for then cook some very nice +stat food, you can fish for motes of water, if you'd like a change of pace!

Fishing spots work a bit differently from other nodes. The best place to fish for motes of water is in Nagrand, in the 3 MAIN lakes (the 3 that almost touch, biggest on the map, hard to miss). Across all 3 exist about 30 pools of water (bluefish school, mudfish school, or pure water). When you fish one, it immediately respawns at another location, as one of the 3 types I listed.

Now, you want to look for the Pure Water, though you need to fish ALL of them you see, in hopes that when the spot respawns elsewhere, it will be pure water. There's about a 90% chance you'll get a mote of water from it. If you get 4 or 5 motes per pool at maybe 8 pools an hour, that's somewhere between 2.5 and 4 primal water per hour, roughly. The good thing is that fishing is somewhat hard to get to the level needed (about 450, preferably), and pretty annoying to boot, so your competition should be minimal!

Crazy WoW Gold farming spot - netherstorm, level 70

Whether you are looking to rapidly advance your reputation with the Aldor or just make some decent gold, you should try the Arklon Ruins (42,71) located southeast of Area 52 in Netherstorm (Wowhead WowWiki). This is a must-grind area for those looking to gain reputation with the Aldor, but is also a sweet spot to farm gold and Motes of Shadow.Here you should focus on two mobs: Artifact Seekers

New Chest Farming for Rogues

So, Blizz fixed the old Mechanar chest farming exploit, which flooded the market with world blues, and generally contributed to a large drop in price for many items. Well, someone has already figured out a new one for Manatombs, if you have a decently geared 70 rogue.

So, here's the thread on the WoW forums discussing it, and here is the link to a handy instructional video!

Azeroth Interrupted: Using WoW to teach children values

Each week, Robin Torres contributes Azeroth Interrupted, a column about balancing real life with WoW.Kids on the internet is (or at least should be) a pretty scary thing for parents. There are predators, perverts or people with questionable ideas that you just don't want to expose your children to. I find it odd, therefore, that so many parents let their elementary school age children play WoW

Ragesteel Shoulders

Okay, here's one that's time based, but it works pretty well for now!

Everyone is all abuzz with the new recipes out in the 2.2 patch. One of the nicer ones if the addition of Ragesteel Shoulders to the Ragesteel set for warriors. The shoulders are probably the nicest part of the set, and at the moment, not many people have the plans for them. (Plans drop from the Enraged Air elementals in Shadowmoon). The materials to make them are pretty ordinary, except for Scroll of Strength V, which you need 2 of.

Ordinarily, that wouldn't mean anything. You can't buy them, and pretty much need to rely on drops for them. Now that they have a part in a nice recipe, prices have skyrocketed, especially because buying them on the AH is the only way to reliably and easily find them. Or is it? If you haven't finished up Zangamarsh, you might be in luck! Unfinished Business for the Alliance, or A Job Undone for the Horde, has FIVE of these babies as one of the optional quest rewards! So if you haven't done it, go do it! Put those scrolls on the Auction House, and underbid the competition by a fair amount. No matter what you sell them for, it's pure profit.

Farming Black Lotus With a World of Warcraft Herbalist

Gold from Light Feathers - Tips for the Low Levels

Light feathers are used as a reagent for both a mage's slow fall and a priest's Levitate. Just so happens you can start getting these at a very low level (lvl 8 birds to be exact), starting in places like Westfall and The barrens.The best part is they can sell for upwards to 4 wow gold per stack (20), well at least on my server. I've provided a linkbelow for a list of Birds who drop the feathers.

PPP: Flask of Chromatic Wonder

Time for another PPP installment, that is a "Particularly Profitable Pattern"!

New patch (2.3), hurray! New content! I haven't done a post about pattern reselling in awhile, so here we go. The Flask of Chromatic Wonder! Probably one of the coolest sounding recipes ever. Quite useful, too. It is sold by Apprentice Darius, the Karazan vendor in Deadwind Pass. It also requires Honored with the Violet Eye to buy it. But, it doesn't bind, and a lot of people have no idea where it comes from yet! So, reselling it should work fine, especially to Alchemists who aren't running Karazan, and have no way of getting it.

Same routine as ever, folks. Buy some (seems like they are unlimited supply?), resell them to other players. This should work well, until everyone finally figures out where they come from. But even when they do, only people who run Kara will be able to buy it! So, expect these to sell decently for some time yet, but the best time would be right now.
