Similar to other current MMORPG, there are tons of methods to gather gold in WoW and a good wow gold making guide should cover them all, or at least focused on a few of them. Farming is #1 choice for most of WoW players since it can be done while leveling and allow you to obtain gears at your level.
Farming is a good method; with proper gear and best farming location selection you can obtain adequate gold per hour, but there are other methods that I want to reveal in this WoW gold making guide that might suit you better:.
1. Doing Quests
The amount of quests in WoW is massive and if you just took any of them then you are wasting time and won't gain benefits from it because each quest has different value and time to finish. Selecting the right quests in the right order can increase your leveling speed; gain ample amount of gold; and keep your gears updated all the way toward level 80. Even after you struck level 80 you still can perform daily quests in Northrend to obtain reasonable gold and reputation.
2. Farming
A method that widely used to generate gold by killing monsters in a certain area to get their item drops. This can be achieved by a low level character in a low-level area or a party of high level characters doing instance runs. The 2 keys here: first, select the right location and time to do it; second, pick the item drop that very popular in the Auction House. If you have those two handled well, you will gain adequate gold from sell your item drops in AH and the trash in vendor.
3. Choose a Gatherer Profession
Mining, Herbalism, and Skinning are examples of gathering professions in World of Warcraft. By getting one of these professions, you can be the one who provide the market with raw material or ingredients such as gold, silver, stones, herbs, leather, hides, fish, and scales. The crafter professions like Blacksmithing and Leatherworking are going to process these ingredients further. With constant demand in materials for various recipes, there are much gold that can be gained here. Don't just gather any material, get the one that receive high demand in Auction House and spare a little time doing market research in order to determine the right price. The other thing that you can do is find a crafter and make a deal where you will supply him/her at predetermined price.
4. Becoming a Crafter
Being a crafter means you can process materials or ingredients into something that useful for other players. Jewelcrafting, Engineering, Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, Tailoring, Alchemy, and Inscription are examples of the crafter professions. However, for these professions you will need gold to maxed your skill level and buy materials or ingredients. As for material, you can buy it at the Auction House or if you crafting on regular basis you can form a partnership with a gatherer to maintain a steady supplies. In some cases, you can have lower price by using the last method.
5. Auction House: Buy Low Sell High
"An advanced gold making method for the one with enough gold to burn" is what I want to say, but with the last development in Auction House method, apparently you can start making serious gold in Auction House at as low as level 5 with only 4 silver in your pocket.
Like the title said, the idea is buy items at lower price and sell it at higher price; it seems easy but require decent knowledge on the current supply and demand. An easy method is observing trade channel for a hot item you want, then start bargaining to achieve the cheapest price possible. Other WoW gold making guide may suggest different method, but the basic is the same: buy low sell high.
6. Auction House: Being a Monopolist
This method will demand reasonable quantity of gold in your pocket as you will stock large amount of specific items and can't expect quick result. The idea is watching the market for certain item that you can monopolize, then buy ALL of them from the Auction House, leaving the supply for that particular item zero. Then, as the sole supplier of that item, you put it at the Auction House with a new higher price. For some time, people will not buy it because they are still accustomed to the old price. During this period, keep watch the AH for people who put the item at lower price and buy all of it. After some time, people will start to accept the new price and you can sell your stock to gain profit.
Keep in mind that this method is not always works smoothly because there is possibility that once people see the price going up, they will gather the item more intesively and flood the AH with it. If you ever see too many people place the item at the Auction House and too costly to purchase them all, sell the remaining of your stock, have small profit, and proceed to other goods.
With the various factors in WoW economy, people will always find a better ways to make gold in WoW. Always look for new chances that provided by Blizzard to build more wealth in WoW.
