These five tips will help you become a serious Warcraft gold generator. These first tips work at any level, and are therefore ideal for low level characters.

1- Enjoy the game by playing and levelling. Power leveling gives you a host of real benefits.

As you progress, you will access higher level areas, and this in turn will give you better loot. But the main reason is that, by combining questing with powerleveling, you have a great route to extra gold in the form of rewards, and of course a decent upgrade path with weapon and armour rewards

2- This is one I have grown to love. Ask for a portal and position an alt at Dalaran. Use this character to buy and post back high level vendor items you can buy there. Bullets and arrows as well as food and drink fetch up to 100% more at your normal faction auction house. Check what’s on the market first, and don’t flood. With this tip you are effectively WotLK gold farming at a very low level!

3- Use your secondary crafting skills such as disenchanting, milling, transmutation or prospecting. It may be that the items you have in your inventory are worth more in an altered state. Crafting doesn’t offer a lot of perks to the serious gold maker, so make sure you use this one.

4- Auctioneer and other addons allow you to scan the auction house for bargain, Looking for items that are well below the average asking price. For this tip to work you need to have built up a decent number of full scans of the AH. I think probably 10 scans is enough as long as they are spread over a decent amount of time

5- Look for auctions that are almost out of time. 30 minutes or less. People put on ridiculously low starting bids then make the cardinal error of not putting on a buyout (don’t be one of those people yourself) Use the auction GUI and sort by time left. Then bid one copper above minimum on these items.

Quick note to those who say you shouldn’t bid just one copper above minimum…Why?

Do you like to give your hard earned gold away? If players are daft enough to put on items under priced and without buy-out then they will either be happy with the results and keep doing it – or learn very quickly what a terrible idea it is. It’s not your job to educate. It’s your job to leverage profit. It’s only a game after all.

Good luck, you’ll soon be well on your way to being a World of Warcraft Gold Generator.
