How to make gold on new realm

[paladinspwn]

Hey guys, just found this guide on WoW-pro, so no Flaming about copy and paste please just sharing.



_________________________________________________________________

You just made your character. First thing you do, go grind on lvl 1 mobs and when you have 1g you can move to the next step. Actually, I was just kidding… This guide will help you get the gold you need, without needing to grind for hours.

This guide contains 2 parts: Gold making professions and info about AH.

Professions

Skinning & Mining… Yes, I know… Why read this guide when you already know that these professions are the money making ones. Well my friends, many of you have these professions but you still don’t get the gold you could have gotten. And for those that do not know of this, please pay attention.

1. Congratulations, you just joined a new realm with a new character. At your starting zone, there will be no veins you can mine, or animals you can skin. So there is no point to get the professions just yet. BUT! When you finish questing at your starting zone you will be around level 5. You get to the new town where you have class trainers, traders, innkeeper etc. First thing you need to do before you start questing again is:

- Find the Skinning and Mining trainers. Buy a skinning knife and a mining pick. If you do not have enough silver to pay for the professions, the knife and pick, don’t worry. You can start on questing and when you get to the money you need to pay for the professions, the knife and pick go get them!

Skinning
It’s very easy to get skill in skinning. You have many quests where it involves killing of beasts. There is no need to run around killing more animals then normal to get more and more leather. That’s called grinding, and we don’t want that! Waste of TIME! So just kill the mobs you have in the quests and skin them.

Mining
This is a bit more tricky then skinning. Sadly, you can’t kill a mob and then hit it with the pick in the head trying to get some ores out of it. Sometimes you might also have small problems like ‘Requires more skill’. And then you think ‘No problem, I will buy some ores and smelt them and get more skill’. But what happens when all the ores you can smelt are coloured GRAY?! You get no skill. Then you will have to go back for a few minutes and find some veins that will advance your skill. It might seem annoying but if you keep an eye out for veins close by where you are running or questing, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Bags
As you know, James guides require you to have bags with many slots. I advise you to do the same. Get bags with many slots so you can store your leather and ores. Each time you are in a city/town where there is a bank, leave your leather & ores in the bank. Each time you are in a city/town with Auction House, sell your leather and ores. (Read more about AH on the next guide part).

Auction House (my favorite)
You got the professions and now have leather and ores/bars you can sell. Easy now, it depends what you want. By that I mean:

Fast Gold: At a low level, getting gold fast is crucial. So I advise you to do this in case you need gold fast, or if you level very fast. There is no point in using 1 week to sell at a normal price 40 Copper Bars when you have levelled so high that you mine Steel and Iron ores. I myself level fast, so I choose this option when I am at the AH.

You have a stack (20) of Thorium Bars. You go at the AH and look up the prices. You see that most of the stacks sell at 55-60gold. If you put your Thorium Bars with the buy out price at 55-60gold you will have competition. By that I mean there are many other sellers that give the same offer for as many bars as you. But if you want to sell them faster and still get a lot of gold do this:

- If most stacks sell at 60gold you can put your stacks at 55-57gold. It might also work at 59gold because the buyer will not pay 60gold if he has the option of paying only 59gold. I normally wait 1 hour and I already get mails from the AH that my stacks are sold.

This option is great to get gold fast. You get gold fast but you also loose a few gold’s when selling. Why? Because you sell a bit under the normal buy out price. The people that have the stacks at 60gold will sell their stacks some day and get 60gold. But you will sell your stacks in less then 24 hours but get 1gold less. Its not so much if you think about it. But if we are talking about epic items that can cost 2.000gold, well going down with 1gold will not help.

The other option is to get the normal amount of gold, but as said earlier… it takes more time for people to buy it.

Doesn’t sound so hard now dose it? It’s not hard… I had around 1.000 gold when I hit level 60. So buying mounts and paying for the riding skills at level 30 and 60 will be no problem. Plus you will still have a lot of gold left.

I know that some of you use other tactics for making gold while levelling up. But this is the most basic. I made this especially for the people that start playing WoW. And trust me, there are a lot of players out there that still don’t have enough gold at level 60 to buy the epic riding mount.

Again, this is a basic guide for making easy gold while levelling up. I will try to make a better gold making guide that has more info with more choices.

It could be organized a little better.. It's a wall of text. But +rep unless someone claims its a C/P

[Dendra]

I wouldn't say it's a copy/paste, just an amalgamation from different sources and even a bit of common sense

Still, it's helpful!!
