How to Earn Gold Fast in "World of Warcraft"

How I Make Over 10,000 Gold Per Day on "WoW"

With over 12 million active subscribers, "World of Warcraft" ( or "WoW" for short) is quite posibly the most popular mmorpg (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) ever created. The game has an excellent economical system in place that makes it easy for players to get a lot of gold very fast (if they know how). In the game, gold is used to purchase various items, upgrades, mounts, and certain necessities for everyday play. Some players, however may not grasp the concept of getting gold easily in "WoW". I have played "WoW" for over two years now at the writing of this article and have tried hard to come up with an easy way to earn lots of gold in a very short amount of time. As mostly anyone who plays this game can attest, when we want something that costs a lot of gold, we seldom want to wait for it. One a side note, when a player wants to sell an item they may not want to wait for that item to sell in the Auction House (AH for short) and will advertise in the Trade Channel as WTS [item] (wanting to sell) [item]). This can provide an excellent opportunity at times because a player wanting to hastily sell something of great value may take significantly less than the item is worth.

The following outline and examples are the steps I used to start making over 10,000 gold / day.

1. Download and install Auctioneer and Auctionator from http://www.Curse.com

2. Go to the Auction House in any major city and use your new add-ons to search the auction house for auctions that can make gold that are being sold for less-than-market value (You can search by percentages).

3. Use your add-ons to make gold by bidding on auctions that will expire during "WoW" maintenance days ... (make your bid and while "WoW" is down you won't get outbid).

4. Use your professions to sell mats for others to use to level their professions (most "WoW" players like to "power-level" professions).

5. The best professions for making gold is, of course, gathering professions, however, any profession can be used if utilized correctly by simply selling the mats it would take to level a profession or the mats it would take to make the epic gear.

6. Do not get caught up in buying epics from the auction house, instead look for items that have a low to no fee for posting (items like glyphs and enchantments are great examples) and use your add-ons to search for being under bid by selecting the "more" tab on the bottom.

In addition you can control a market if the opportunity presents itself. An example would be: You search the AH for Cardinal Rubies and find a few at 25g, some at 35g, and a few more for45g. You decide these should sell for 100g each, so you buy them all and post them for the buyout price of 100g.

Another example of benefiting from the AH would be as follows: You search the AH for Frostweave cloth and find some stacks at 5g, some at 10g a few at 15g, and a lot going for 50g / stack. You would profit well to buy the ones for 5, 10, and 15g and post them for the going rate of 50g.

If you follow these simple steps and examples, you will be on your way to making very fast gold in no time at all.

Good luck to you in your adventures.
