Ask any long-term WoW player how to make gold and they’ll point you at several great grinding locations. They expect you to spend hours and hours killing monsters in one spot that require you to be a minimum of level 60 to even get near these beasts.
This should tell you that most players have no idea how to make quick gold in the World of Warcraft game.
Here is the easiest way to get all the gold you’ll ever need quickly even using a level one character.
Step One:
No matter what level or what class your main character is, create a new character that is very close to a major city Auction House. If you’re playing Alliance, try creating a dwarf of gnome and run to Ironforge. You could try creating a night-elf and running to Darnassus, but you’ll have more luck selling from the bigger Auction Houses. If you’re playing Horde, create a troll or tauren and run to Orgrimmar.
Step Two:
Find the nearest Auction House and figure out where the nearest mail box is in comparison. Park your low level character near the Auction House.
Step Three:
Download the free version of WoW Auctioneer and use it to your advantage. Each server has different prices for different items. Your objective is to figure out using your Auctioneer add-on what’s been severely underpriced.
Step Four:
Find as many under-priced items as you can. WoW players think they’re being smart by undercutting other players trying to sell items. In reality, all they’re doing is reducing their own gold-earning ability and increasing yours.
Usually the higher priced items, like netherweave cloth or rugged leather are easiest to spot, but you’ll also find particular cuts of gems and rare jewel-crafting stones are often under-priced as well.
Step Five:
Purchase any under-priced items on your server. Run to the nearest mailbox and grab the items you’ve purchased. Then run back to the Auction House and put those same items back up for sale at their proper prices. You’ll find that gems and potions sell very quickly, as do most materials, fabrics and leathers – even after you’ve listed them for sale at a profitable price.
Step Six:
Use your main character to level up, complete quests and explore the World of Warcraft world of Azeroth, but keep your low-level ‘alt’ character near the Auction House at all times. When your main character loots anything decent, mail it immediately to your low-level character to put up for sale on the Auction House for you.
Step Seven:
Once you’ve sold your profit items and your loot items, mail the gold back to your main character.
Step Eight:
Enjoy having more gold than any other character around you!
If you remember to log into your World of Warcraft account as your low-level character first and spend a couple of minutes checking out items you could probably buy cheap and then re-sell at a profit, then you can switch over to your main character and continue to enjoy the game. You’ll always have plenty of gold and takes minimal time out of your game play.
