How do you guys make your gold?

Hey-



So i've been thinking about a new horde 19 on my home server. Problem is, I don't have a big clump of cash to make one big neutral AH transfer with. Been an issue for me paying for enchants on gear upgrades, gems, repairs on my main and still leveling profs, etc. on my twinks.



How do you make your gold?
 
Every single one of my leveling toons has had mining. I got real used to it and every single server I've been on sells ore and bars well. You can start a dk and get the 100 mount and start mining and start making gold easy. One round at the loch usually brings 50 or so copper 20 or so tin and some silver and that only takes 20 minutes or so. If you're higher up hit the badlands for iron and mithril. One round there is about the same and those always sell very well.
 
aint played since tbc, currently reinstalling now so not sure about the market but i managed to get 800g on a lvl 11 just from selling twink items :) started off with copper ore for 5g a stack, then saw some scouting legs and sold them for 60g profit and went on from there.



download auctioneer(if it still works, been so long since i played ha) and do some scanning twice a day for a few weeks then you should have a database big enough and accurate enough to buy and sell to get yourself cash.



i was always lazy and poor and never actually hit 2k at one time, in my whole wow career i always spent all my profits on shit, but persist and you should easily fund one twink



basically time is money, if you work at it money aint hard to get
 
I have the gold for twinks, I just need a strat to maintain a lump sum, pref. one that i can rinse and repeat
 
I do dailies/herbalism on my main and I have mining on a low level alt

I use both to get herbs/ore/cloth(Wool still sells for a ton, as does Frostweave) in massive quantities and sell for tons of profit.



Everyone and their brother are powerleveling JC for endgame. Starting out they don't want to level Mining too, so they buy tons of ore.



My first toon was a hunter, had Mining and Skinning and he was never poor
 
ORLY?

What are the prices on Nerubian Chitin, those new Dragonscales (Ice?) and Artic Furs on your server?

Because they require a lot for the high level LW patterns
 
Chitn sells okay, dragonscales like 1g each, furs like 15g
 
also, Thick Clefthoof Leathers still sold for a lot.(10 for ~40ish gold) need 8 for the leg armors..

but.. 3.1 puts an end to that madness..



With my highlevel LW, I used to be able to buy a lot of leather make it into Heavy leather and resell on the AH for 20-30g profit. That way takes a bit more time but way less effort
 
/sigh



Anyone here have an 80 they farm on or something? So far i'm not recieving much help, but the ideas are great, thx.
 
I still say mining is your best bet but if you have the ability to do dailies, do them. Over and over and over. I just got herbalism for the first time on my mage though, and its doing pretty well. I just hit northrend and already herbs sell for at least 20g a stack, and they're pretty easy to get.
 
I haven't mined enough in Northrend to know where to go for that ore yet. Hellfire always produced a whole lot of fel iron for me. I got lucky with a lot of adamanatite in nagrand as well. Just check your AH to see what sells the best. For a while, Mithril and Thorium was selling for around 50g a stack on my server so I went for that.
 
do dailies.



Sholazaar Basin is amazing.

farm the undead/zombie whatevers at the feet of Freya in Sholazaar Basin.

high respawn rate and tons of cloth.

You can fly circuits if you mine, there's also the Oracles/Frenzyhearts dailies

There's also the ridge to the west where you can farm Eternal Air/Water



Plus Wintergrasp is only 1min away if you need to farm any other eternals.
 
SoH dailies take 30mins max and make you about 90 gold,



naxx 10man run about 3hrs 30 200ish gold just of looted gold.



fly/ride round BT mine the colbolt turn into shoulders at 4 bars a shoulder DE sell the matts 1hr of that gets me 3 full mails over to my DE guy.
