5 Tips For Farming Gold in World of Warcraft

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.

Below are some tips for you to start making some gold.

1. Invest about half an hour a day in gathering mats. In the long run, that will accumulate to a big amount and you can sell those for many gold at the Auction House. As more and more people have moved to Northend, the supply of Northend mats is getting higher. However, you can get mats in Outland and even in Pre B.C. to avoid those competition.

2. Reverse engine and find out items with less competition in the Auction House, and then go about farm them.

3. It is always a good idea to farm for items that are easy to get and easy to sell. For instance, it is not hard to fish for deviate fish in the Barrens and they can sell for any where between 10 to 20 gold per stack. For about 30 minutes, you should be able to get around 2 stacks of them.

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. 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.
