My WoW Guide

[Forgiving]

Forgiving's Guide:

Let me just start out with a few word. I just quit wow a little bit ago, and thought i might as well share a few of my methods on making some gold. I am sure many of you already know of these methods, and just gone right by them. DONT, these methods work! I will be updating this thread with new ways, or stuff that I forgot to metion.

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE 5000 GOLD INSTANATLY?

Well you wont. Its pretty impossible to do so, but you can make 5000g within a few days pretty easily. Pretty much none of my methods are server dependent, although they can get less or more gold depending on your prices, they should all work fine for you guys.

The Auction House

Before you say, the ah is a waste of time, or I have heard all that has been told, maybe you have but it works fine for me.
#1 BE PATIENT: You wont be making insane amounts of gold right off the bat, you have to work your way up, especially if you dont have much gold to start off.
#2 DON'T flood the ah: When you are buying and reselling, never post all that you bought right away, or you will flood the market, prices will decrease, and your items wont sell. For example, lets say i buy 20 inifinite dust for 50% the price it normally is, I will put up 5 stacks of 1 at a time. They might sell in 5 minutes, so I put up another 5. Most times people wont need 20 infinite dust, and when priced individually it looks cheaper for buying them 1 at a time then buying 20.
#3 DO your research: NEVER post something, without doing your research. What I mean by this is wowhead your item. Never post something before checking what its used for, and how much those other items are being sold for. For Example I buy Dragonfin Angelfish. I look on wowhead, and I see that it can be used for Blackened Dragonfin. I look up the reagents for blackened Dragonfin on the ah (1 fish 1 northern spice) and I notice i could be making 3g more PER fish. If i had just posted the fish by themselves I wouldnt be making nearly as much gold as I did.
#4 Use your addons: Auctioneer is worth the time to set-up, and can up your gold intake by a huge amount. There are many guides that go over how to set it up, so I wont go over that. Make sure that you let it scan multiple times before you start searching, or its prices will be messed up, and you can end up losing a lot of gold.
Using the search tab: This is where the money comes rolling in. The main searches that I use are Prospect and Disenchant. People always are in need of gems and enchants, so these items sell out reeeallly quickly.
#5 When to buy: Usually monday-thursday there are a lot of low priced items that you can buy, and save up for the weekend to sell for lots of profit. Just monitor your prices, and even take notes on the main prices for items. If you started out with 1000g, and your down to 100g, dont worry you will get your gold back, and it will slowly increase and increase.
#6 Keep buying!: My goal is to always have stuff in my inventory waiting to be sold, and to always have tons of stuff on the auction house. Dont wait till you get your gold back to buy more items to sell. ALWAYS BE BUYING.

A few items that you can start out with:
Some of these are server dependent, but they are always being bought and sold, and you can money on the no matter what.
Dream shards, Arctic Furs, Infinite Dust, Saronite ore (prospecting) Abyss Crystals, Greater Comic Essences, are just a few

This concludes my Ah section. Much of this is common sense to you guys, but even though it is keep doing it! Old ideas are just as good as new Ideas!

Dailies

Their quick, their easy and you can making decent gold off of them.
Try and do 10 a day, thats around 130g in a half hour! Not much to say here, but do this on your down time, waiting for raid invites, or just when you get on.

Professions

Gather skills are a major money maker, and so are proffesions like alchemy, inscription, enchanting, and jewel crafting. If your just leveling up a gather proffesion, DONT delete your low level herbs ore etc. Pre-wotlk items can sell for the same, if not more of wotlk price. If you have a proffesion that uses the gathering items, do your research and see what sells for the most, because like I said above some things can be used to make way more money then selling them raw.

I hope you liked my guide, and like I said I will keep adding little tips here and there to make it more worthwhile.

It's alright, However you could crash your servers economy and the way in which you described is the way to do it at the start but as you get into it you need to see if people undercut you. If they do then undercut them. Trust me, Knock the opposition out of the market. Be careful not to be banned for economy manipulation though! 5/10

[Forgiving]

Economy manipulation? For doing what? Lol i Said specifically that you dont Crash or flood the market, and that you post slowly but surely, you obviously mis-read.

Forgiving, thanks for this guide.

I'd definitely be looking over this over the next few days.
+Rep 2x for you mate.

" The way in which you described is the way to do it at first... ". I worded it wrong. Your method to posting it however is correct all the way through.

Nice guide, i would like if you went into some more depth on what or what direction to go in for buying. 7/10 Nice guide overall +2 4 u!

[Forgiving]

Ill try and do so Shanko99. I just cant say buy greater planar essence, because it ALLL depends on the server you play on.

[Shank099]

Yes i understand but even giving a broad area or trying to explain the concept of one area or another would help. Its not so much the specific items as it is the formula of making money of said items.

[Forgiving]

Well thats pretty much what my guide is doing, lol.
Its giving you an idea on how to make the gold, you just have to find what to make it on.

[Shank099]

Im trying to put the emphasize on "said items" direction not the formula.
