I have played World of Warcraft for more than 3 years. Throughout the years, I came up with some great gold farming techniques that I use to farm WoW gold.

1. For maximum gold, your very first character must take on at least 1 gathering profession, preferably Mining as it supports 3 crafting professions.

2. Vendor all the ‘grey’ items (duh!) you find while leveling, send the rest to an alternative character, and post them onto the Auction House.

3. Save all your level 40+ greens, tip an Enchanter to disenchant them. Dusts and Shards currently sell very well, and I only see this trend increasing with the Wrath of the Lich King due to arrive soon.

4. Using addons, the Blizzard interface is fine, but addons that adds additional information such as Gatherer and Auctioneer helps tons.

5. Become a supplier for “crafters” in top guilds in your Realm. These chumps go through mats like water, they are constantly in demand. Even selling them at a lower price will benefit you in the long run.

6. When Mining, keep in mind that Silver and Tin shares a spawning node; Gold and Iron shares another one; and the same applies for Truesilver and Mithril. For example, if you are only looking for Gold Ores, you MUST mine all the iron nodes as well because this will increase the overall Gold Node spawns.

7. Like Jewelcrafting, I foresee Inscription to be big in the Wrath of the Lich King. Get this profession if you already have characters with maxed gathering professions.

8. Selling seasonal items. Take a look at the Blizzard’s calendar and look for upcoming in-game events. You would be surprised to see the demand for certain items jumps up to 10x at certain times of the year.

9. Understanding World of Warcraft Economy. Not as complicated as the real world economy, but it follows the same basic principle: supply and demand. You need to look for items that are low in supply and high in demand.

For example, in Realms where level 70 players dominates the majority of the population, the price of some lower level items may be very high, this is because higher level players need these items to level new professions or getting items for their Twinks.

10. Have fun with the game, World of Warcraft is a game after all, don’t get so stressed up sometimes because you did not farm enough gold, just stay consistent and find a way to farm gold that you enjoy.

I hope you picked up something new here, I use these very World of Warcraft gold farming strategies to farm hundreds of gold every day.
