Farming Gold In World Of Warcraft With These 5 Tips

By Joanne Keith

Within the World of Warcraft, the players have plenty of ways to farm gold but many of them still feel like to try out the buying way, which is quite risky, needless to say. Rather than spending money for gold, I have spent a lot of my time learning and improving my gold farming skills in this game and I had quite a bit of success with it. In my first year, I managed to trade epic flyers for five characters.

If you are new to the game, the best way you can start is by gathering items. Many things from the game, be it mining, skinning, fishing, cooking mats or cloth, can all earn you some handsome gold.

Here are some tips you can follow to farm gold.

1. Spend about thirty minutes a day in gathering mats. That will accumulate to big amount in the long run. If you look at the Auction House, you will find that there is a good supply of Northrend mats, as more and more people are in that area now. So, you may like to get mats in Outland or even in Pre B.C. to avoid huge competition.

2. To make your effort more efficient, identify those items with low competition in the Auction House first, and only target those objects.

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. If you keep frequenting the Auction House, you will have a very good feel of the prices of different items. Don't get panic when the price of a particular items drops, as fluctuation happens just like the real world. Just hold the item for a few more days, and you may find its price picks up again.

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.
