There are many ways to farm gold in World of Warcraft, but many people still find it hard to earn enough and are more inclined to buy gold in the real world. Admittedly, farming fold is a gaming skill that comes with experience and learning. I do not buy gold, but I did spend quite some time in advancing gold making skills in my first year and I managed to make quite a few characters across different servers. I was even able to trade epic flyers for five characters just in my year one.

If you are new to the game, the best way you can start is by gathering items. Many things from the game, be it mining, skinning, fishing, cooking mats or cloth, can all earn you some handsome gold.

Below are some tips for you to start making some gold.

1. Spend around 30 minutes each day to collect mats. This may sound dull, but you can accumulate lots of mats in the long run which can be sold for quite some gold at the Auction house. At the moment, there is a big supply of Northend mats, but you can gather mats from Outland or even in Pre B.C. to avoid this big competition.

2. To make your effort more efficient, identify those items with low competition in the Auction House first, and only target those objects.

3. Do you know which items are easy to get and easy to sell? Just to give you an idea - the deviate fish in the Barrens can sell for about 15 gold per stack, and they are not that hard to fish. You should have no problem netting 2 stacks of them in just 30 minutes.

4. Remember, price fluctuation for a particular item is only normal and never get panic when you find the price of an item you have on hand drop. What you can do is just to wait for a few days, and chances are the price will go up again.

5. You may also visit sites like Thott or Wowhead to get an idea of how much an item usually sells in the Auction House. Doing this you can avoid underpricing your items. You may even be able to purchase an under-priced item and sell at a higher rate.

The tips contained in this article my seem basic and boring, but don't under-estimate their effectiveness. In case you are just starting out, avoiding shortcuts will only help you in the long run. Advanced techniques can be learned as you move on.
