Looting

Looting mobs for their gold and items to sell to the vendors is one of the most basic ways to collect gold in the World of WoW. Many adversaries will drop coins and items that can also be sold for more WoW gold. Looting is not the best use of your time as a gold maker.

Questing

Questing is another of the most basic ways to get gold in the World of WoW. As we complete quests we are awarded with coins and items for selling or disenchanting (if you are an Enchanter). While questing gold and rewards are a biproduct of leveling you character, there are still better more time efficient ways to make gold in the World of WoW.

Farming

Farming is one of the first steps that most players take on their path towards earning gold within the auction houses in WoW. Farming involves either killing select creatures or mobs for specific items that they drop or farming various material resources from out in the wild of the World of WoW. Farming is more commonly referred to for the gathering professions – Mining, Herbalism, Skinning, and Tailoring. Killing creatures or humanoids over and over for the items they drop is also commonly referred to as Grinding. Selling those farmed items on the auction house is a sure fire way to increase your gold reserves. Be sure to check out the Beginner’s Guide To Farming here at Goldgrub’s Goblin Academy.

Flipping

Flipping items is a very easy gold making strategy if you know what to buy and what to sell. Some npc vendors sell limited quantity recipes that are almost always going to sell for more on the auction house than you originally paid for the item from the original npc vendor. Once you understand the various markets and their market cycles in the World of WoW, you will be able to identify items that you can buy now and sell for more later. Grossly underpriced items can be snatched up and flipped for a near instant profit. So you can make gold off flipping items from other players or from items sold off of npc WoW vendors.

Crafting

Crafting involves the fine art of buying raw materials and converting those raw materials into finished usable products such as armor, gems, enchantments, weapons, glyphs, etc. Crafting is where we make the most of our profession choices in the World of WoW. Many of us serious gold makers have multiple crafting characters (commonly referred to as crafting mules if their sole purpose is just crafting) so that we can cover multiple markets by utilizing multiple crafting professions. Crafting is probably the best over all World of WoW gold making option as long as you are educated on what items to craft and sell for a profit.

Other Oddities For Gold Making

Other odd ways to make gold include options such as GDKP runs. A GDKP run is a run through a raid instance where all dropped items go up for auction and each member of the raid has the option to bid on the item and pay gold to win the item. The highest bidder of each items pays gold into the pot and at the end of the raid all gold is split evenly amongst all of the participants. This is a nice way to make gold with a higher level character and often the BoE items obtained from within the raid can sell on the auction house for far more than your winning GDKP bid.

Dancing naked on top of a mailbox and begging for tips are another oddball options that can earn you gold, although your time is almost definately more wisely invested in any of the other gold making options in the World of WoW.
