Farming Gold In World Of Warcraft With These 5 Tips
There are many ways to farm gold in World of Warcraft, but many people still find it hard to earn enough and are more inclined to buy gold in the real world. Admittedly, farming fold is a gaming skill that comes with experience and learning. I do not buy gold, but I did spend quite some time in advancing gold making skills in my first year and I managed to make quite a few characters across different servers. I was even able to trade epic flyers for five characters just in my year one.
As a new player, you can start farming some gold by collecting just any items from the game. Things from mining, skinning, fishing, cooking mats to cloth can all be sold for quite some gold in the Auction House.
Below are some tips for you to start making some gold.
1. Spend around 30 minutes each day to collect mats. This may sound dull, but you can accumulate lots of mats in the long run which can be sold for quite some gold at the Auction house. At the moment, there is a big supply of Northend mats, but you can gather mats from Outland or even in Pre B.C. to avoid this big competition.
2. Reverse engine and find out items with less competition in the Auction House, and then go about farm them.
3. Target those items that are easy to get and easy to sell, and a good example is the deviate fish in the Barrens. They are not difficult to fish, but can sell for about 15 gold per stack. How many stacks do you think you can get in 30 minutes? 2 or possibly 3?
4. Frequent yourself in the auction house and get familiar with the average prices of the items that you intend to sell. If the price of a particular item drops in one day, don’t panic. You should know that price fluctuation is only normal and it does not hurt to wait a few days until the price goes back to its average.
5. You may also visit sites like Thott or Wowhead to get an idea of how much an item usually sells in the Auction House. Doing this you can avoid underpricing your items. You may even be able to purchase an under-priced item and sell at a higher rate.
