World of Warcraft Gold Guide - How To Make WoW Gold
World of Warcraft Gold Guide - How To Make WoW Gold This is another fantastic guide that I have found on the main WoW community forums. This one is basically a how-to guide on making tons of World of Warcraft gold. It will tell you what to do so you will always have enough money for that mount and anything else you may need gold for, but it does take some time to accomplish. If you are short on available play time or want to make the gold ASAP then here is a gold resource that I use very often. Again, this is how I made my money. Ive been playing this game since the first week it came out and Ive never made an altthis guide is truly the path I took from lvl 1-60 (with a few modifications here and there as lessons learned from my mistakes!) There is hundreds of ways to make money in this game. You be a gatherer the entire time, selling mats and make money. You could do nothing but manipulate the Auction House and make money. You could grind areas that are known to drop rares and epics and make money. Theres tons of ways, this is just my way. Enjoy! Phase One Levels 1-40 Hunting and Gathering So youre just starting World of Warcraft, youve picked your race and class (gnome rogues ftw!), and youre at the point where you get to pick two professions. You might say to yourself oooh Im a rogue so Ill get leatherworking so I can make my own armor! or Im a warrior so Ill get blacksmithing so I can make my own weapons!OK just stop right there n00b! Lemme tell you a little secret about all those cool crafting professions ***With the exception of a handful of items per crafted profession, you wont make money! And hey guess what, those few items that are profitable are pretty much unattainable at lower levels!*** I hate to rain on your parade so early on, but its better I tell you up front than watch you waste what little gold you earn trying to level up your crafting profession. The problem with crafting professions is that you fall into the trap that I like to call Skill Leveling Fever, where you will do whatever it takes to raise the skill of your profession. Some of you will say Ya Gen, but thats why you take a complimentary gathering profession so you can farm your own mats. This is true, but you will VERY quickly reach a point where the materials you require will be unattainable at your characters level. And what are you gonna do, wait until you can farm them yourself? Hell no, I know you better than that! Youre gonna go run to the AH and start buying materials for the sole purpose of leveling your crafting profession. Welcome to the poorhouse! So instead, pick two gathering professions. The cool thing about gathering professions is that you start making money right awaywalk up to a mineral vein or a plant or a dead animal and grab those mats! Its 100% profit! And since you are going to be spending a LOT of time running around doing quests and killing animal sit only makes sense to take advantage of gathering professions. Mining and Herbalism are the biggest moneymakers, but since they share the minimap, I usually will pick mining or herbalism and then pick up Skinning. The one negative thing about gathering professions is youll find your bags fill up VERY quickly. Dont worry, the first thing youre gonna buy are 14 slot bags. These things cost like 2g50s on my server, which youll have after selling like 4 stacks of whatever you got. Buy 4 of these 14slot bags, youll need the space! At this point some people make alts that sit near the Auction House and they mail all their mats to the alt. This is a good idea for someto me it would drive me nuts having to mail stuff all the time Also, items with grey text are vendor trash, meaning you sell them to a vendor. ALWAYS pick up the vendor trashat your level every little bit counts. If its WHITE text, that means its used in a profession somehow. Hold onto it and see what its worth on the Auction House. If you can sell it to the vendor for 25s but sell it on the AH for 50s youve just doubled your profit! Dont laugh at 50s profit eitherdo that 1000 times (which you will do this 1000s of times in this game) thats 500g! You should be making more than enough money to pay for new skills, updated armor and weapons, gryphon flights, stupid noncombat pets (hey I love em too!) etc. But keep in mind you are working towards two things when you hit lvl 40: 1. Buying your mount, which is going to cost you 90g 2. Preparing for your first crafting profession, which will take money to level and buy schematics/patterns/recipes/etc. You cannot enter Phase Two until you have purchased your mount and have like 100g in savings. Trust me on this one. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PHASE ONE: Q: Gen, you are a god among gnomes, and handsome to boot. But if you tell everyone to take up gathering, who will buy the materials were gathering?! If theres no money in crafting, nobody will buy our materials! A: It actually makes a perfect circlelowbies gather the mats, while highbies buy the mats and make crafted items (well discuss highbie strategy in a bit). These highbies in turn sell their items (for a profit) to other highbies and lowbies who NOW have money to spend (because theyre not wasting all their money trying to level up crafting professions!) It works really well like this. Q: Gen, you are kind, intelligent, and have abs you could wash clothes on. My character is lvl XX, and Im a lvl YY Crafting Profession and a lvl ZZ Gathering Profession. And Im BROKE! Should I drop my crafting profession and take up a second gathering profession? A: It depends on several things. If you are already close to lvl 40, you might as well keep the crafting profession UNLESS its really low level (like less than 125 or something) then ya drop it like a bad habit. If you are relatively low level but have a mid-level crafting professions, I would still drop it and take up a second gathering profession. Youll end up making much more money by the time youre 40, which is the real goal of this guide. Q: My materials arent selling! The market is flooded with them and I keep getting them returned in the mailbox! A: Ya thats going to happen from time to time. Some days you can sell a stack of something for 1g, the next day the entire AH is flooded with stacks selling for 20s. Its what I call the Retard Factor. The best thing you is get a general idea of how much stuff is selling for at that time, price your materials a little bit less that that, and hope for the best. Dont throw your hands up in despair when someone undercuts youits gonna happen. Just take your unsold mats and put them back on the AH someone will buy them, trust me! Phase Two Levels 40-59 Its fine learn 2 craft Youve hit lvl 40, you have your mount (sure beats walking huh?), youve learned all your new skills, and youve decked yourself out in some fancy new duds. Now what? Well, you *could* stick with your two gathering professions. They will still make you a lot of money, actually more money than in the first phase because youll know have access to higher level materials. If you dont feel like busting ass trying to make money with crafting professions, stick with gathering by all means. You could stop reading this guide right now and have enough money to make you happy. Still reading? Okay good lets talk about your first crafting profession Pick a crafting profession that sounds fun to you. Dont worry, its going to make you money (except maybe Alchemy Im sorry I *still* havent seen proof that you can make lots of money off of Alchemy). What your going to do is drop the gathering profession that doesnt complement your new crafting profession. For example, if you want to take engineering, drop skinning and keep your mining. The one profession I do not recommend you take at level 40 (besides Alchemy) is Enchanting. Enchanting is a great profession but its not for the faint of heart, and its a #@%$! to level up. If you are dying to be an enchanter now, welcome to the poor house otherwise try to hold off until youre level 60 (well be discussing that in the next phase). Now that youre level 40, it should be very easy to powerlevel your new profession to a certain point. Do everything possible to farm your own mats while leveling, it will save you a ton of money. This is important because you need your money for SCHEMATICS, PLANS, FORMULAS, RECIPES, ETC!!! These are what separate you from all of the other people taking up crafting professions. I see twenty new threads every day asking how do you make money in leatherworking or whatever, and people usually reply you dont take herbalism its a goldmine. Im going to let you in on a little secret. It takes hard work and a LOT of time and gold to make money in crafting! lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro gold lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro lotro buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold buy lotro gold lotr lotr lotr lotro gold lotro gold lotr lotr lotr lotr lotr lotr lotr lotr lotr lotr lotr lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lotro gold lotro gold lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lotr gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold lord of the rings online gold sell wow gold sell wow gold sell wow gold sell wow gold sell wow gold sell wow gold sell wow gold sell wow gold sell wow gold sell wow gold wow gold wow gold wow gold wow gold wow gold wow gold wow gold wow gold wow gold wow gold sell wow cd key sell wow cd key sell wow cd key sell wow cd key sell wow cd key sell wow cd key sell wow cd key sell wow cd key sell wow cd key sell wow cd key trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow gold trade wow trade wow trade wow trade wow trade wow trade wow trade wow trade wow trade wow trade wow trade sell maple story mesos sell maple story mesos sell maple story mesos sell maple story mesos sell maple story mesos sell maple story mesos sell maple story mesos sell maplestory mesos sell maplestory mesos sell maplestory mesos sell maplestory mesos sell maplestory mesos sell maplestory mesos sell maplestory mesos sell maple story gold sell maple story gold sell maple story gold sell maple story gold sell maple story gold sell maple story gold sell maple story gold sell maple story money sell maple story money sell maple story money sell maple story money sell maple story money sell maple story money sell maple story money sell maplestory gold sell maplestory gold sell maplestory gold sell maplestory gold sell maplestory gold sell maplestory gold sell maplestory gold sell maplestory money sell maplestory money sell maplestory money sell maplestory money sell maplestory money sell maplestory money sell maplestory money maplestory trade maplestory trade maplestory trade maplestory trade maplestory trade maplestory trade maplestory trade maple story trade maple story trade maple story trade maple story trade maple story trade maple story trade maple story trade
