Tired of being poor? Try this proven WoW Gold Guide and make over 200 Gold an hour, legally!

There are many ways to make WoW Gold. Some are easy, some are hard, some take forever and some take skill. In this article, I will quickly go over three (3) methods that are commonly used, their advantages and their drawbacks.

Farming Materials

Farming materials, such as leather, cloth or primals, is a straightforward way to make WoW gold. Basically, it requires a little research into farming areas – to find out the best drop rates, then killing the same mobs or gathering the same mats over and over again. Once you have amassed a significant quantity, you sell the stacks on the Auction House and make your profit there.

Advantages:

Simple
Profitable

Drawbacks:

Time consuming
You can lose money if you overprice your items and they don’t sell, because of the Auction House deposit. Don’t worry, this is rare.

Daily Quests

Doing daily quests is a good way to earn WoW Gold. You need (in most cases) a Level 70 or higher character and some basic knowledge of quests, factions and reputations, as well as a flying mount. In a perfect world, you could easily earn more than 500 Gold per day.

Advantages

Tons of Gold to be made
Chances of quality drops from mobs

Drawbacks

Like Farming, Time consuming

Annoying, insofar as it’ll soon feel like an obligation (omg I’ve not done my Daily Quests today! I’m losing cash as we speak!)

Disenchanting

Ah, my favorite! Takes a little more skill than other methods, but can easily be mastered by applying a little bit of brainpower as well as Auctioneer Add-On power. It works like this: scan the Auction House for low-price green items that no one wants (“of the Whale”, for example) and purchase them.

You then turn around, disenchant them and sell the mats on the Auction House for massive profit. Enchanting reagents are always in demand, and are free to advertise on the Auction House (i.e. no deposit) so you can put them up over and over until they sell. Pre-Lich King, you needed a toon with 275 Enchanting to disenchant up to Level 70 items. You will also need a little seed capital – a few hundred golds will do – to buy your first batch of disenchantable items.

Advantages

You never need leave Stormwind or one of your faction capitals
Fast: an hour a day can net you 500 or more Gold, MUCH better than farming or Questing

Drawbacks

You need to enjoy the Auction House, because you’ll be spending a lot of time there
There is a learning curve (but its not very steep)
You need some start-up capital

So there you have it: three simple ways to make some WoW gold. As previously stated, the last one is my favorite by far, and I’ve used it – personally – to make A LOT of money, so I know it works. They all do.

Tailoring Basics Or How Not To Screw Up

Renei — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 20:20:56 +0000

I’ve found tailoring in World of Warcraft to be one of the most rewarding professions you could select. Some of the products you can make are actually valuable, so you could (possible, maybe) make some money, and if you’re a cloth wearing-class — you should be — then you can craft yourself some pretty nice gear unavailable otherwise, since some items are “Bind on Pickup”

Here are a few tips concerning Tailoring in World of Warcraft

Pick you second profession with care. By “care”, I mean “pick enchanting”. You will be able to disenchant all the low-level items you craft to level up your tailoring skill, earning you some materials to create enchants for you and your guild mates. As you level goes up, so does the power of the enchantments you can cast. You will also be able to sell the enchanting materials on the Auction House for A LOT MORE than you could have sold the items you disenchanted, if you could have sold them at all. “Strange Dust” sells a lot better than “Brown Linen Robes”, believe you me.

Keep Your Cloth. I know that you think you need every copper of WoW currency you can get you hands on, but resist the temptation to sell stacks of linen, wool, silk or anything else. Keep the cloth, turn them into bolts, craft items and disenchant them. A note concerning First Aid: use only enough cloth to level your skill, not a piece more. First Aid is valuable only to you (i.e. not valuable in terms of WoW Gold) while Enchanting is valuable to everyone (i.e. cash-generating machine)

Don’t Buy Recipes Willy-Nilly. Don’t go to the Auction House buying every single Tailoring recipe you don’t have. Do some research and only buy the ones that will a) help level up your skill or b) produce something valuable.

Have a Cloth Wearing Class. Those are Mages, Priests and Warlocks. This one should be obvious. I’ve mentioned it earlier, but I’ll repeat it here. Of course, you can be a Paladin or a Warrior and still be a Tailor, but you’ll miss out on good gear that you could craft for yourself.

Bags. Make bags! Not only will making bags level up your tailoring skill — up to a point — they are one of the few crafted items that are actually worth your while. Did you see what so-called “Bag Vendors” sell their lousy 10-slot bags for? They should be called “Bag Thieves”, “Bag Extortionists” or “Bag Profiteers”, but instead they go by the milder and inaccurate “Bag Vendor” label. My point is that bags sell really fast and really well. Everyone needs them. Quick note: crafted items that sell for more than the materials are worth at the Auction House are few and far between. Bags sell consistently for about the price of the materials, often for more, so they are a cheap way to level your skill. It will not make you rich.

Cool Crafted Items. Tailoring is an easy skill to level. If you pay attention just a little bit to what you are doing, you will always be able to craft items that are above your level. That means that when you reach the item level, you will be a well-equipped character indeed. Items like “Robes of Power”, which are “Bind on Pickup” (wearable at level 33) require only 210 Tailoring skill and are a very nice piece of gear indeed.

There are many more things I could say about Tailoring. Its fun, it’s easy, you pick up materials on the mobs you kill — no need to run after nodes of this or that — and if you picked you second profession with “care” then you could have a money-maker.
