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- Get on and powerlevel up. After all it's what the game is all about. But this method gives you three big benefits.
In the first instance, you will be able to progess in the game to areas with better loot. Always a bonus. Picking up valuable flight points as you go. Don't underestimate flight points, they are the games logistics. Also, if you quest while you level then you are really cooking. Quests offer not only a gold reward, but are also a great way to keep geared up
2- Ask a guild friend, or pay a stranger, to get a low level alt to Dalaran by portal. Dalaran has vendors that sell high level consumables. These consumables can then be posted back to a character at your factions major cities and put on the auction house there. Bullets, arrows food and drink all fetch a lot more at auction than from the vendor. Don't flood the market. This is a real WotLK gold farming method.
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- Use auctioneer or similar and scan for bargains. Auctioneer comes with an ability to scan for items that are well below the average price. This however, depends on you having done your auction scans regularly for a period of time (I think every 48 hours for 14 days is about right - less than 48 hours and you will double count some auctions). Buy, then re-market.
5- Many people don't put a buyout on their auctions. These auctions will of course have to run for the full time. Check the auctions with less than 30 minutes to run. You will often find no-one at all has bid. The player that put them on perhaps thought he would spark a bidding war (it rarely - if ever happens. No buy-out is a real no-no both for buyer and seller) Take advantage of their mistake and buy these items up for minimum bid of 1 copper more.
Some of you will be shocked "minimum bid?"
If you bid 2 copper more than the minimum bid, what's the second copper for? How does that benefit you? Sure if there is a bidding war (i've seen them but they are very very rare) then you might want to scare people off with a larger bid. But in that case it's soon not going to be a bargain anyway. Don't let others learn at your expense. If the vendor is unhappy then they will learn to market properly and use a buy-out. If they are happy, well that's fine as well.
Good luck, you'll soon be well on your way to being a World of Warcraft Gold Generator.
