About one week ago, I decided to reroll horde on a new server. And guess what was the problem. Gold. At level 12 i had like 30 s, and was thinking about a way to get some gold easily. My char is level 27 atm (belf rogue), and has over 100g, even after buying lvl 20 mount, lending gold for mount to my friend and getting 4x16slot bags of the AH, aswell as some leather which i was too lazy to farm myself.
Small Eggs
The first thing, that got me lots of gold are... Small Eggs, dropped by Dragonhawks all around belf areas. They have like 150% droprate (you will get 1 or 2 from each dragonhawk killed). And the best part is, that they sell for around 5-10g on my server. And people are actually buying them. Why? Because it's first of the cooking recipes that produces a buff food (+2spi, +2sta), and it's easy way to skill-up cooking up to 80 or so. Small Eggs will sell even better doing christmas, as they are used for cooking recipes needed for Merrymaker achievements. The dragonhawks are levels 5-9, and are located ALL over the 6-13 level zone of blood elves. If you are a skinner, like me, you can add a bit more of a profit from skins / level your leatherworking in the same time.
Lynx Steak Recipe.
But... the real killer goldmaker is a vendor-sold recipe for Lynx Steak. It is sold by a vendor on 2nd floor of the inn, in Falconwing Square, called Landraelanis. The recipe costs 36c, but im selling it for 5-10g on neutral AH, and it sells in few hours. I could possibly put even higher price, but remember, lower prices = easier to sell. And people WILL buy it, because neutral AH is the ONLY way to get this recipe for alliance char, and there always will be people going for cooking achievements, or just buying them of neutral AH, to resell on alliance AH for even bigger profit. Well, of course, you could be the one who transfer the recipe from horde to ally, and sell it for waaay more. But, i was too lazy to do it, and neutral AH has this slight advantage over the alliance AH. Usually, there isnt ANY competition on neutral AH.
Getting to neutral AH
You may think, that getting to neutral AH on low level char is something hard / takes time etc. Nothing more wrong then that. Make a level 1 char (orc or troll, they have the easiest way to get to neutral AH located in Booty Bay) , and let it be your bank char. I decided to make a troll female (just for the sake of it being rare in-game:P). Then, search for the "Hidden Path" near the starting place, and use it to get to Ratchet. After that, hop on a boat, and swim to Booty Bay, then run to the neutral Auction House located near the inn.
When your banking char is there, send some gold to him, aswell as some of the lynx steak recipes. Remember, DON'T flood the auction house with them. I usually put like 5-7max at once. For 6,99g. And they sell in couple of hours.
Final Notes
The profit from both small eggs, and the recipes IS pretty much server dependant, as all of the other guides relating farming / auction house. Although, You will still make loads of gold (well, "loads" for a lower level char).
