The post for today is more of a general babble about making gold in World of Warcraft. A lot of people seem to think that there´s some magical way to make thousands of gold over night, and sure, there probably is but I haven’t found it yet. If you have, please let me in on the secret.

Of course if you loot a good world drop epic or such, you will probably make a few thousand golds fast, but it´s not really something you can do again easily. And what we’re after is things we can reproduce and do over and over again.

And that brings us to the point of this article. When you are making gold in WoW you have to put in some time every day to get the silver and gold to trickle in. Usually you need to invest more time in the beginning to learn how things work and what are good things to make money with on your server.

A lot of the strategies for making a bunch of gold in WoW are related to using and learning the AH in a good way and it´s the best way in terms of steady income and things that you can reproduce and do over and over. And as I stated earlier, that´s what you’re after - things that you can do again and again and where you can expect a similar result.

If you are leveling and you are after making a lot of gold fast it might be a good idea to pick up two gathering professions (skinning, herbalism and mining) while you are going through the levels and just selling the materials on the AH as you get them. This is of course just to gain gold quickly. If you wish to get professions for end-game already and level them as you go, then you probably have an idea for what you should pick to fit your character. In my experience, there are some professions that are better than others for making gold, if that´s what you’re after. But that will be covered in another article.

Back to subject a bit. What you should do is to learn the auction house and see what things seem to sell well on your server and you can probably get an idea of what to look for in the previous articles here on Easy Grinding. Start with looking at crafting materials, they are usually attractive and it´s a good place to start looking.

You might want to look into getting an addon that helps you with your AH experiences. There are some good ones out there that help quite a bit. I´m personally using Auctioneer at the moment and it have some really nice features even if some seem a bit overwhelming at first. So you could look into the AH addons too.

So, try to learn the AH trends a bit, follow the market on the things you decide to try selling and see how stable the market is. And then start making gold. Tons of gold hopefully. As you learn, expand to include new items.

As always, happy grinding!

Also, as I’ve previously stated I am no expert of any kind and I´m just trying to help by sharing my experience in World of Warcraft, so if you have ideas that I don’t mention or if you feel I´m not making sense, please feel free to comment.
