Introduction

Welcome to our ultimate gold guide section, there are plenty of opportunities
out there for you to make gold, but we will only list the fastest and
easiest method for any class.

We could list tons of different ways for you to earn
money at lower levels but the truth is that the higher level you are
the more money you will earn.

Time is better spent leveling up your character as fast as you
can. It’s better to level up your character to level 40 then start
farming for your mount then level up to 60 and farm for your epic
mount. Farming at lower levels will slow your profit down overall.

Quick General Tips
The number one tip that will save you hours of travelling is to create a secondary
character (mule account) that will stay in the auction house (Orgimmar -
Horde, Ironforge – Alliance, or even Gadgetzan). Send your money and item
to these characters by the ingame mail, relog with your mule account and
then get them to buy/sell at the auction house. Remember time is money the
more time you save the more money you make.

Pick up everything that a mob drops as every item
has a value.

Familiarize yourself with items

Grey text item = Vendor Trash items. Its useless
to anyone you can only sell vendors, but don’t underestimate it
as grey items can still be worth a lot of coins.

White text items = Very common useful items,
sometimes you can make more profit selling these in the auction
house.

Green text items = Common quality
items, some items are worth a lot more than the AH recommended
price.

Blue text items = Superior / Rare
quality

Purple text items = Epic quality

Auction House
First of all Download and install this free Auctioneer mod
href=”http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=146″>

http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=146 This mod helps
you by

Giving you the average market price for all items.
Which profession the items are useful for.
Shows you vendor prices of all items, sometimes the market has too much
of a certain item and you might as well sell the item to a vendor.
Shows you vendor prices of quest reward items.
This helps your auction house trading, as sometimes
you don’t even realize you’ve sold an item under average price, where you should
have made more profit.

Or if you overpriced an item which could lose your AH deposit when
it doesn’t sell. This is critical with Green items like weapons
and armor as the 24hour deposit can come at a very high cost.

The Auctioneer mod needs a database to be used effectively,
after you install the mod visit the AH and do a full scan. This can take around
10-15mins to be completed. Try to do this every couple of days for the first
two weeks of playing so you have a reliable database.

But scan the armor and Weapons section everyday to get the average
market price for rare and epic quality items as they can be listed
seldomly.

Remember buy weekdays and sell during the
weekends. Most rich level 60 players play during the weekends for
big raid meets and they can’t be bothered farming.

Bags
Try to fill up all
your bag slots, as more bag slots = more profit. This will save you time
running back to the vendor to empty your bag. Don’t be afraid to purchase
bags because all bags are not Soulbound that means you can use it then resell
it when you decide to upgrade.

Level 1 – Just use what you can find from mobs.

Level 9 – Don’t worry about 6 slot bags, save up for 8 slot bags
which are usually about 15s-20s each.

Level 18 – You should have a full set of 10 slot bags costing around
40s each.

Level 30 – Skip 12 slot bags and get a 14 slot bag which costs
around 2g-2g50s each.

Level 45 – By now you should have your mount and it is time to
get a full set of 16 slot bags like ‘Travelers Backpack’ which
is a random world drop from high level mobs worth around 18g-25g.

Helpful sites
If you havent heard of

http://www.thotbott.com/ you’re missing out on
the best tool for Warcraft. Both sites are similar but I find Thotbott
to be more useful as it’s faster and more user friendly.

Thottbot is an excellent tool to do your quest and to find items,
as it provides maps for item drop locations and where they come
from.

Allakhazam is useful to find out an item ‘Median Price’ this helps
you a lot when you’re trading Rare and Epic items, as the database
you would gather using Auctioneer mod might not be sufficient to
make your decision. You can also use this entire site instead of
using the Auctioneer mod, but you might find that i’ts too time
consuming to use the site all the time.

And curse-gaming.com have
the most comprehensive mod ui addons for WoW.

Earning for your Level 40 Mount for level 1-40

Cost of Regular Mount

At level 40 the goal is to get at least 18g for mount training,
and 72g for the mount itself assuming you have an Honored reputation
with your faction. Total of 90g or if you can find someone that
has a PVP rank 3 or above he can buy the mount for you for 64g
saving you another 8g.

You receive a 10% discount if you’re honored with your faction
and a Additional 10% discount if you have PVP rank 3 which is very
easy to get at higher levels.

Cost of Epic Mount
After you have your first mount and full set of 16 slot bags, you’re set until
level 60, ignore farming until you reach level 60 where you will start to save
up for your epic mount which cost 800g if you’re honored and rank 3 or over.

Also note that a Frostwolf mount is available at 640g and rank
11 mount is available for 90g! But achieving rank 11 will require
a lot of PVP in battlegrounds. Expect to spend at least 2 months
of hardcore PVPing to reach rank 11. At level 60 earning 100g on
an average day (3-4 hours) is an easy task. So you’re epic mount
should be attainable in just over 1 week.

Join a Guild
If you have no high level friends, consider joining a guild early. Having higher
level friends at lower levels is a great advantage. You may need someone
to help you purchase your first mount at a discounted price of 64g, and a
higher level friend would most likely lend you some money to get your first
mount. It won’t be a big deal to them 10-20g is very little money for a level
60 character but it’s a huge amount to a level 40. Borrowing money to purchase
the mount will cut down your farming time, you can pay it back much faster
than farming first then buying the mount.

Grinding vs Questing
Its been tested that grinding is more efficient for power leveling after level
35, but questing is more fun of course. Click here for power leveling guide
