Quick WoW Gold Guide – Why Cashflow is King in World of Warcraft

The question on every player’s lips in World of Warcraft is ‘How can I make more Gold??!’ When your gold supplies hit rock bottom you completely lose momentum in WoW – you are suddenly unable to purchase a mount, to repair equipment, to purchase mana potions and items, to do anything! The quests, fun and adventure have to be put aside for the moment while you try to work out how to make more gold.

But if you can manage to keep a steady flow of cash coming in at all times then you can rule the game and level super-fast while never pausing.

You can use some clever thinking, a bit of forward planning and a few techniques to make sure you never have to worry about gold. And later on there are some very clever advanced techniques, which the best payers make sure they learn to finance the expensive level 80 lifestyle of flying mounts and epic gear.

Before that, you have to start with the basics – choose your professions with care.

It really is better to choose your profession for the gold it will make you, instead of for fun or usefulness. Believe me, if you have a good supply of gold coming in you will find the game a lot more fun, and it’ll be hell of a lot more useful than anything else in the game.

If you are not too fussed mining and skinning are great, simple professions that will always find you good gold throughout the game. You are never far from a mine to mine for valuable ores, or a creature to skin for its valuable skin. Two other good professions are blacksmithing and Alchemy – they both make you gold too, but they also save you gold. Blacksmithing saves money on repairs for a fighter, and Alchemy saves on mana potions for a magic-user. Take your time making this choice.

Right at the other end of the spectrum, the best money-makers in WoW have an astute understanding of the dynamics of the money-system and market places in WoW. Like businessmen they can buy and sell items at the auction house, making profitable deals on a large scale.

To get started in this, basically you want to buy low and sell high in the auction house. You must know what things are selling for by checking prices all the time. Whenever you see a bargain – snatch it up, or someone else will. The ideal it to find motivated sellers, these are people who want or need to sell their item fast and don’t want to wait for a bidding process.

Send them a private message offering a low price and negotiate hard – don’t go too high, you can always move onto the next bargain. Then sell it – take your time and ask for bidders until you get a good price. A final tip is to always sell on Friday. For some reason people always pay more on Friday – maybe because it’s the weekend and they’re in high spirits. If you can master these auction house techniques you can make serious money in WoW for all your future characters of any level.
