Having a WoW gold guide can help to speed up gold farming considerably. A discussion on gold farming in World of Warcraft can be somewhat complicated and hard to understand if you are just beginning.

There are many different styles of gold farming. The key to making a ton of gold in WoW is to use the parts of each style that best suits your playstyle.

This article will go over all styles of gold farming, including grinding, making a ton of gold from the auction house and using professions to make gold…not just waste gold trying to level it up. This is just going to cover the basics, but after reading this you should have a good understanding of what is need to farm hundreds of gold in World of Warcraft.

Lets start with the auction house. It’s a lot easier these days to make gold using the AH because of an add-on called the “Auctioneer”. The Auctioneer analyzes all the data in the AH and keeps track of it, making it simply to find items you can buy and sell for a higher price. Using this for about 30 minutes a day, you can make several hundred gold easy, every day.

To make things easier, you will want to make a mule character that just stays in the auction house for you to buy and sell items. Start off by letting the Auctioneer scan the auction house to build up a database of items and the prices they sell for. You can then scan for items that are listed in the low price range and can be bought and sold for higher prices.

There’s a lot more AH tips that I can’t cover in this post, but if you are interested in learning more, Warcraft Millionaire is an excellent resource that covers the Auction House in great detail.

Professions in World of Warcraft can also be a great way to make some decent gold. With new professions introduced in the expansions, raw materials tend to take off in price. When the Burning Crusade was release, miners made a ton of gold selling both ore and ingots. These are required in engineering, blacksmithing, and the new profession added to BC, Jewelcrafting.

In Wrath of the Lich King, herbalism is benefitting in much the same way as mining did in BC. The new Insription profession has sent herb prices way up.

Having a gathering profession will always be useful in making gold in WoW. Players are lazy, and would rather buy skins, ore, ingots, and herbs rather than take the time to farm them.

Grinding for gold in World of Warcraft is the easiest way of farming gold. It is also one of the most boring gold making methods.

If you are going to grind for gold on low level characters, killing humanoids is the way to go. They drop coin and cloth, which can sell pretty well, depending on the demand for your server. You will usually find they drop more blues and greens than other mobs.

Higher level characters will want to farm elementals for essences and motes. Farming low level instances for coin, cloth, and vendor loot can also be profitable. You might even get a decent blue item that twinks will pay a high price for.

Warcraft Millionaire has in-depth coverage of all these methods. It covers a ton more than I can come close to in a single post. It is without a doubt the most comprehensive WoW Gold Guide around.
