Farming Gold In World Of Warcraft With These 5 Tips

Although World of Warcraft provides its players with numerous ways to farm gold, the reality is that many people still prefers the shortcuts and spend money to buy gold in the real world. This is obviously not allowed by the game and you have to be careful in order not to be caught. Personally, I do not buy gold but I did invest lots of time learning and improving my gaming skills, and I am quite happy with my results so far. Even 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!

Below are some tips for you to start making some gold.

1. Spend around 30 minutes each day to collect mats. This may sound dull, but you can accumulate lots of mats in the long run which can be sold for quite some gold at the Auction house. At the moment, there is a big supply of Northend mats, but you can gather mats from Outland or even in Pre B.C. to avoid this big competition.

2. Keep monitoring the Auction House and try to spot items with less competition before you go about to farm a target.

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. Frequent yourself in the auction house and get familiar with the average prices of the items that you intend to sell. If the price of a particular item drops in one day, don’t panic. You should know that price fluctuation is only normal and it does not hurt to wait a few days until the price goes back to its average.

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.

Some people may find that these tips for farming WOW gold will take too much time away from their game play. This is true. However, as said, gold farming is a skill that comes with experience and learning. So, don’t expect to skip the basics when you start out. You are sure to know about the more advanced techniques as you move on.
