5 Tips For Farming Gold in World of Warcraft

Within the World of Warcraft, the players have plenty of ways to farm gold but many of them still feel like to try out the buying way, which is quite risky, needless to say. Rather than spending money for gold, I have spent a lot of my time learning and improving my gold farming skills in this game and I had quite a bit of success with it. In my first year, I managed to trade epic flyers for five characters.

As a new player, you can start farming some gold by collecting just any items from the game. Things from mining, skinning, fishing, cooking mats to cloth can all be sold for quite some gold in the Auction House.

Below are some tips for you to start making some gold.

1. Spend around 30 minutes each day to collect mats. This may sound dull, but you can accumulate lots of mats in the long run which can be sold for quite some gold at the Auction house. At the moment, there is a big supply of Northend mats, but you can gather mats from Outland or even in Pre B.C. to avoid this big competition.

2. Reverse engine and find out items with less competition in the Auction House, and then go about farm them.

3. Do you know which items are easy to get and easy to sell? Just to give you an idea - the deviate fish in the Barrens can sell for about 15 gold per stack, and they are not that hard to fish. You should have no problem netting 2 stacks of them in just 30 minutes.

4. Remember, price fluctuation for a particular item is only normal and never get panic when you find the price of an item you have on hand drop. What you can do is just to wait for a few days, and chances are the price will go up again.

5. You may also visit sites like Thott or Wowhead to get an idea of how much an item usually sells in the Auction House. Doing this you can avoid underpricing your items. You may even be able to purchase an under-priced item and sell at a higher rate.

Some people may find that these tips for farming WOW gold will take too much time away from their game play. This is true. However, as said, gold farming is a skill that comes with experience and learning. So, don't expect to skip the basics when you start out. You are sure to know about the more advanced techniques as you move on.
