How to make gold in world of warcraft in 4 easy steps

By Zack Pickery

To know how to make gold in world of warcraft world of warcraft is a real life skill integrated in the game. Basically it is like real world economics of buying low and sell high, whether it's commodity, luxury or essential item or food which is required in the game by the millions of players (9 million at the last count) in the game. There are many, many ways to make gold in wow. The most common are to use the auction house, gathering items that can be sold to vendor or preferably at auction, making money from professions and lastly good old fashioned grinding.

To make money from the auction house simply use the search button and check out the prices of items. To buy low and sell high is all you need to do here for big profits. To do this can be fairly time consuming and many players tend to do this almost full time as they have little time to do anything else. However this can be made easier by using the auctioneer add on to scan prices giving you a good idea of what prices are like on your server and enable you to undercut other players so you can sell faster. Or you can use it to find anything that is listed at a price that is lower than you would expect and then sell on on for a very fast profit. The best tactic is to make your auction as quick as you can, say two hours, and during times when players are on line the most like in the evening.

If you want to get money from professions, the two you should follow looking to take up are skinning and fishing. Skinning is great to take up particularly as you level upwards and kill monsters that you can skin. Skins you can trade for considerably more at the auction house rather than vendors because you will always have higher level players who have scores of gold and will pay for skins to make armor etc, rather than go out themselves killing the mobs. Beside which they look to use the skin to make items they can then re-sell quickly at a major profit over what they pay for the skin so really this is a win win situation.

Fishing is the other great profession for making gold in wow. On a few servers quite a few players make up to 300 gold an hour without any problem. Besides it's not just fish that you can catch but also valuable items like blue and rare purple items that you can very easily re-sell at the AH for hundreds if not thousands.

If you do a lot of grinding you will collect a lot of money, items etc from mobs that you obliterate which sum up to a lot of gold over time. It is the most boring way to make gold in world of warcraft but the most sure. But it is even more rewarding and effective if you have good knowledge of places where you can grind monsters where you return in gold is quite high. I know for a fact that grinding giants in winterspring is very profitable if you are at level 50. An hour spent here grinding these mobs should yield on avarage 50 to 100 gold.
