So you want to make money in World of Warcraft eh? Well it's easier than you think as long as you have the know-how. I remember my first character which was a rogue on the Whisperwind server. I rushed as fast as I could to level 40 so that I could get a mount, but a huge problem rose in front of me. I didn't even have close to the amount of gold I needed to get that damn mount. How the hell was I suppsoed to be able to afford this thing??
It all starts with professions. Simple as this. Be a collector. skinning/mining or herbalism, enchanting. Collect materials that people need. Even a noob could exploit this. Let me give an example.
I created a Human Paladin and started at Northshire abbey. First I run my butt over to Stormwind after I've earned a silver or two and learn skinning and Mining professions. Quests in the Elwynn forest require me to visit a few mines so I keep "Find Minerals" skill on and hunt every wolf around the zone(btw there are a ton in this zone so skinning shouldn't be much of a problem). While I am questing through the mines(especially Jasperlode and there is one more in this zone) I am gaining exp while gathering materials to sell at the AH.
Doing this strategy of farming light leather and copper ore I had 40 gold available to me by level 17. Easy.
Once I gained a few levels the options of what zones to level in were a bit spread out so I picked up a few guides to help me. (Hey everyone needs a little help now and then).
Right Now I have a Rogue with Krol Blade (500-700 gold on my server) and Assanitantion Blade (70-150 gold) Plus I also have money for my Epic mount. So yes, there are plenty of ways to make gold in World of Warcraft you just have to try new things until you find what works for you. I've given you my thoughts and resources so go find your fortune in WoW.
Good Luck and Best Regards,
Trevor
Those Who Dare, Win I found a review site that gave me the top guides to get. After getting the top 2 guides I made 120 gold per hour following the unique strategies out of both. ( Thank you Review Judge) =) The site can be accessed here for WoW Gold Take a look to see what you think.
