Basic Gold Tips for a Beginner

If you've just joined the World of Warcraft community, you may have noticed that WoW revolves around one thing. Gold. And lots of it. If you don't have sufficient gold you won't be able to get that mount, training, gear, dual spec, repairs or whatever! Making decent gold at low levels is harder, but here are a few basic tips to follow:

1. Proffesions are a great way to make gold! Some of the easiest ways to make gold is to get Gathering Proffesions. These include Mining, Herbalism and Skinning. If you have a brand new character, I recommend Mining. It easier to make money with Mining at lower levels than skinning. With Proffesions, all you basically need to do is skin, herbalize, or mine the crap out of anything you see!

2. If you've decided to take up my first piece of advice, you're going to need some large bags to hold all that valuable raw material! Investing in large bags are worth it. If you know a guildie that's a tailor, ask him/her to make you some bags. You can also find extremely large skinning/herbalism/mining designed for your custom proffesion.

3. The Auction House! The AH is where all the big time gold makers obtain they're money. If you're a REAL auction house freak, you know how to buy low and sell high! But before you can do this, you'll need to know how it works. At lower levels, you take the stuff you don't need, or materials gathered from your proffesions to sell. Something you have to do, or you won't be very succesful in the AH is that you have to undercut the other people selling the same thing. This means you have to sell you're product for LOWER than their's, but not too low so that you don't make any money! A great addon for this is called Auctioneer. It scans the Auction House and tells a whole great of important information when in the AH. You can get at this site. Another very important thing you should do is have an Auction House Alt! This is SUPER important, and I have entire post dedicated to it. If you haven't read it, you can find it here.

All these tips are completely legal, Blizzard approves the use of addons such as Auctioneer. So don't worry about getting banned, squeeze as much out of these tips as you can, and hang tight, because World of Warcraft Tips, Tricks, Guides, Strategies on Raiding, Dailies, the Auction House, Guilds, Instances, Tier Sets and much more will be publishing many more tips that will make YOU a Gold Expert yourself!
