Farming Gold Like a Pro in World of Warcraft
If you need gold in World of Warcraft, don't worry because there are many ways in which you can obtain your gold. But there are simply far too many virtual things to spend gold on leading to the urge in making lots of gold very quickly. This is where the concept of gold farming comes into play and the practice can be very rewarding despite its intimidating name. Your character does not have to be very advanced and you can gold farm a lot more effectively if your character is advanced. Gold farming can be summed up in three phases.
Materials
Tons of World of Warcraft players head to the Auction House to look for raw materials and ingredients because they do not have the time or willingness to go around the different areas and look for the materials themselves. Materials that are easy to find sell cheap but you can still make profits if you sell them in large quantities. Before you can sell these materials, you must get a gathering profession. You have the choice of getting mining, herbalism, or skinning gathering professionals. I personally would choose either Mining or Herbellism, because both of these professions support more then one crafting profession and there for there is going to be alot more demend. Skining is also ok but of course because skin is only used by leather workers you will not have as much demend but it's allot easier to level because as you kill a moster you can skin it and you will never have to worry about leveling it up. Herbelism is a great profession, because you can gather plants but there are a couple mobs in wow that allow you to gather herbs from them. When choosing a profession, make sure your class's skills and stats best support the profession.
Where are the best places to gather?
Making sure that you have the skill to gather with your profession is a must there is no point and a total waste of time if you don't have the skill to mine of gather the herbs, for the selected area. Making sure that your gathering skill is high is a must because it will allow you to gather items that are more rare and that you can sell for more. This means that these resources have better selling potential since many developed characters no longer have gathering professions and plenty experienced characters have lots of extra gold to spend and raw materials are often on their shopping lists.
If you decide to do mining or herbalism, you find tons of resource nodes in different areas. As you level your gathering profession and your character as long as you keep your mining up with you, this meaning that your mining skill is always mining yellow nods then you can except that where ever you go that there will be nods for that level of mining. Low level areas are good if you want to stay out of trouble but taking on higher levels make you more productive. If your looking for some places to gather then the following four places are some of the best low level area's Stranglethorn Vale, Plaguelands, Westfall, and Stratholme. If you want a quicker way to know where nods are then you can google in or go to thottbot, or you could download an add on that remembers every nod that you farm so you can go back and continue to farm it.
Taking the Gold Farming Beyond Professions
Gathering will always be a great way to get gold but if your looking for a maybe more enjoyable way then leveling a character but can be really good for gold especially if you choose a Death Knight because they start at 55 and the gold at that level is allot more then just a level 1. Some players like to farm Dead Mines for the linen and wool cloth and place it on the AH. Others goto Stratholme to look for dischanted items that can also be sold.
One of the Best ways to make money is to combine the different methods of farming gold. The main thing with gold farming is to continually do it and get into a routine.
