Having played World of Warcraft for nearly 4 years, I have compiled a list of 10 best World of Warcraft gold farming strategies.

1. Each profession in World of Warcraft is unique and gold can be made through every one of them. However, if you want a CONSTANT flow of gold coming in, ‘gathering’ professions are always better ‘crafting’ professions.

2. Auction every single item that is not gray. Mass mail everything to an Alt to save time.

3. Save all your level 40+ greens, tip an Enchanter to disenchant them. Dusts and Shards currently sell very well, and I only see this trend increasing with the Wrath of the Lich King due to arrive soon.

4. Using addons such as Gatherer and Auctioneer.

5. Supply your goods from your gathering professions to crafters in top guilds on your server. Doing this will guarantee sales and you eliminate the Auction House cut.

6. A tip when mining, Silver refill Tin nodes. Gold refills Iron nodes. Truesilver refills Mithril nodes. So if you are just looking for Truesilver, you must NOT ignore the Mithril nodes as this will reduce the overall chance of Truesilver node spawns.

7. If you are a more advanced player, jump on the new profession Inscription when Wrath of the Lich King comes out. I made the mistake of not choosing Jewelcrafting when Burning Crusade launched. It was too late when I realized how profitable a new profession is, especially in the beginning when there is very little competition.

8. Prior to a WoW Seasonal event, purchase or farm items that are needed during these events. During certain times of the years, prices of certain items skyrocket. This is an excellent time to reap in the profits.

9. Understanding the basic World of Warcraft economy. It revolves around the basic concept of supply and demand. There must be both for any gold to be made.

Let’s look at this example, on a Realm like Mal’Ganis where it is dominated by raiding guilds, the demand for certain items (pots and flasks?) will be very high, if the supply cannot match the demand, the price will rise to balance things out.

10. WoW is very fair, there is no single way to farm the most gold, there are many! Just find the way that suits your play style the most and enjoy your way of gold farming. It’s a game after all!

These 10 World of Warcraft Gold Tips and Strategies have worked great for me, I hope you learned something from them.
