If you play WoW, at some point you have probably ended up pulling the levels faster than you can bring in gold, and as a result, something you need has fallen by the wayside. Maybe it was a mount, or some gear that would have really sped up your leveling. Perhaps you hit the level cap and couldn’t afford to upgrade your garbage leveling gear. Either way you need some WoW gold secrets to avoid ending up in that place again.
1. Don’t stop looting until your bags are full. Seriously, this is one of the most common mistakes among newbies. If you can sell it, pick it up. If you have no room in your bags, run, don’t walk, to the nearest merchant and vendor what you’ve got. Put greens, blues, and purples up on the auction house and vendor everything else, then watch the gold roll in. Don’t skimp on bags either, you’d be surprised how much of a difference 2 extra slots per bag can make.
2. If you can’t use any of the quest rewards, choose the weapon or plate. As a rule, this will net you a better vendor price, though there are some exceptions. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to check Wowhead.com. 1 or 2 gold per quest can really add up in Outland and Northrend. If multiple weapons are available, keep in mind that 2 handers usually sell for more than 1 handers, which usually sell for more than ranged weapons. If multiple armor pieces are available, legs, chests, shoulders, and helms are usually valued in that order.
3. Take a gathering profession, and keep it up to date. Honestly, this alone will double your income. Even if you just gather on your way to quest objectives and instances, it will still add up. I’ve found mining to be most profitable, with skinning and herbalism not really coming into their own until high levels. Taking either mining or herbalism with skinning as your second profession will pretty much guarantee that you will never find yourself wanting for gold.
4. Instead of selling cloth in stacks, sell it by the piece. While you are at it, double the price. Now fill a few pages with your cloth pieces, and watch the sales roll in. Most players don’t bother to look ahead and try to find the full stacks, they’d rather not put the effort in. As a result of this, you get a tidy profit. You also get some extra sales from the professions that don’t need bulk orders of cloth, like engineers and blacksmiths.
5. Quest until you run out of quests, then quest some more. This is absolutely crucial for keeping the gold rolling in. There are plenty of opportunities to do quests on your way to instances or other quests, especially with the amount of daily quests in Wrath of the Lich King. Once you hit the cap, you’ve got that handy little experience to gold conversion thing too, so following this rule is kind of a no-brainer.
