Farming Gold In World Of Warcraft With These 5 Tips

By Joanne Keith

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.

Here are some tips you can follow to farm gold.

1. Spend about thirty minutes a day in gathering mats. That will accumulate to big amount in the long run. If you look at the Auction House, you will find that there is a good supply of Northrend mats, as more and more people are in that area now. So, you may like to get mats in Outland or even in Pre B.C. to avoid huge competition.

2. To make your effort more efficient, identify those items with low competition in the Auction House first, and only target those objects.

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. If you keep frequenting the Auction House, you will have a very good feel of the prices of different items. Don't get panic when the price of a particular items drops, as fluctuation happens just like the real world. Just hold the item for a few more days, and you may find its price picks up again.

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.

What we have discussed in this article about farming gold in World of Warcraft may seem boring and dull to some players, but they do work. For those who are just starting out, I would suggest that you avoid the shortcuts and learn the basics. That way, you will have a good foundation when it comes the time to learn more advanced techniques.
