How to make Money in World of Warcraft?

Question

Im new to the game im lvl 19 night elf hunter. I have like 5G. Thats the most ive ever made. Can anyone tell me ways to make easy Gold? Any tips plss. I just want to be able to buy good Weps and armor. I feel soo weak compared to most people

Answer 1

There are a few ways i would recommend. First is the Darkmoon Faire, which rotates monthly. Look up online when it next comes near. The two vendors there sell rare items very cheap, although you will need to camp out there and keep checking as they change what they sell every 5 mins or so. I started as a NE Hunter with ~12G and in one Darkmoon Faire i made 1000G selling the stuff i bought on AH. I would advise that first.



Next i would try and join a guild, look for a 'fun' guild not a rading one. Ask very nicely if you could get a run through of low level instances e.g Deadmines. You'll get some good XP, some nice loot to sell, and some great gear for your level.



You could also try taking two harvesting skill, i.e Mining + Skinning, which will give the most money when you sell the items. Although of course you won't be able to create any nice gear for yourself, without a creating skil e.g Leatheroworking



Finally you could try and play the Auction House. "Buy low, sell high". There are plenty of guides on the net for free about this. Basically get the add on Auctioneer or WoWecon and let it scan for a few days to get an idea of what things sell for (You don't have to have these add ons, but they help) then if you see something selling for much cheaper than its worth buy it, then put it back on to sell for morel. I don't like this technique too much as there is high risk involved, unlike the others.



If you want to try to go to the Darkmoon Faire, it starts on the 7th July 08 in Mulgore (Horde Territory) and i will be heading there, so if you are on Dragonmaw (EU) by any chance send a whisp to Audere



Hope this helps.



One final tip. Don't worry so muich about gear and stuff when you are so low levelled. You will outbrow it before you even realise you are wearing it! Wait til 60+ before you start working hard for gear.

Hey, making money in wow involves using every possible option you can. The obvious ways to make money are to complete your quests, and to sell picked up items back to the merchants through buyback. (a helpful tip for this, if you sell a lot back, log on periodically when you're not playing just so you can unload a bunch of items like fangs and feathers to merchants when their buyback windows are empty.) Also, put all greens you don't need on the auction house. A good tip for the auction house is to place a high buyout price. A bunch of friends of mine are willing to pay ridiculous high prices on the auction house as long as they can get the item right away without waiting. There must be a ton of confused level 20s out there wondering who would pay gold for random items needed for professions. God bless the impatience of others. Also, choose professions that go hand in hand like herbalism and alchemy, then sell the potions or whatever you made. Leatherworking works well too, as druids are forever on the prowl for leather gear. The auction house is definitely crucial. Good luck!

At such a low level, making money isn't all that easy, I understand. Here are some of the BEST ways to make money as a level 19 hunter.



1. Professions

a. skinning (easiest way as a hunter, get $ for what you kill)

b. herbalism/mining (sell everything on the auctionhouse, but since you can only have 2 professions.. check prices on auctionhouse for which sells better. herbs or mining?)





2. Looting Everything

a. vendor it all when bags are full.

b. only delete least the expensive items if you need more room in your bags before you vendor, delete a gray over a white, a white over a green, blue over epic, etc. (weapons will vendor for more than cloth, save those)





3. Save All Your Money

a. i know its hard, you want to spend to get better gear, but youll loot the best gear you can get and will have more money for a mount + better gear at a higher level (requires buying more than low level)

Answer 4

this will take a while but ur a night elf so i would advise going to darnassus and learning alchemy and herbalism. these are good together. 1. herbalism sells a very good price alone. 2. alchemy makes em into potions. this takes a while to pay off but i got 200 bronze for a potion on auction.

Answer 5

Use the gathering professions. Mining I think is the best by far people always need that ore. It depends on your server as well.

Answer 6

Go to a trainer..like your hunter trainer and also look for a occupation trainer like for mining, blacksmithing, etc.......

Answer 7

kill things,do quest, or go up in your talent
