Suggestions of lowbie goldmaking

[Vendetta101]

So , I am asking you guys for some advice.The problem is I am nearly lvl 60 but i dont have gold even to buy my gear but to train flying skills...I have skinning and Leatherworking as professions but i can hardly make any gold with them until lvl 80 and i also need a decent PVE in order to farm monsters to skin them.If you can give me some advices to play the action house or any other methods of goldmaking around 50-60 level i would greatly appreciate it.I used to be a goldmaking type player but i have never leveled on 1x rates server and i find it very difficult to get gold until 80.

Quests, Professions, Auto Loot.

Quests - Do it all, 99% works, easier to go to the next zone + items + more trash to sell

Professions - Sell Mats / Items on AH

Auto Loot - Keep looting every little thing, run 10 times to a Vendor, it's a bit slower, but you'll make gold.

I agree with you sir :) i think the best professions to make gold low lvl are enchanting and tailoring. tailors can make bags and sell them on the AH to other players for good profit. and enchanting due enchant twinkers and sell th enchants to other people

i dont have gold even to buy my gear

Buying gear is a waste. The damage you gain is nullified by the time it took you to visit the auction house. If you want to be efficient then quest and kill **** until you're 80, then worry about gold.

I am currently sitting at 350g as a lvl 37, and I can assure you i spent A LOT on bags/glyphs, since I am a shaman, I NEEDED glyph of stoneclaw+fire nova, so right there it was around 30g, then netherweave bags @ 8g-10g.

Basically what I did was indeed loot everything, but bear in mind, not actually everything is worth it, some stuff are not worth the bag space, usually things that don't stack.

As for armor/weapons: 2h will always be more valuable and armor leather-mail-plate, later one, try to stack on grey plate armor to sell, the rest are not worth the trouble.

Im a skinner/miner and I don't try to farm at all, I'm questing naturally and find some nodes, go mine them, do some questing, skin 'em etc. It got hard with mining at around 120 I think, since silver nodes are RARE, really really RARE, so getting to 125 for iron nodes was a lucky strike for me (got 124+125 from 2 silver ores, while they were green).

Basically, 2x gathering professions and invest in some bags after you make some gold so you can loot more.

You also wouldn't believe how much some schmucks pay for easily-available cooking recipes....But there are also rare cooking recipes worth something.


You can go for a real profession+gathering one as you already are a LW, but in that case you NEED to get out of your way to farm materials, search a guide or plan how much you need for X skill ups then farm some more to put on AH. This is very time consuming however, but it does save the need to later on having to level a profession like I will need to.

And I wouldn't bother with flying, IIRC its 1k even for basic flying, depending on your class, you may need dual spec if you have a tank/healing spec available.

It is a very nice perk to be able to fly but its "only" for 8 levels, northrend will be your main focusing point, and there you can only fly after level 78 (if first character), so not sure if its worth the trouble.

As for gear... sometimes AH has some VERY nice pieces at incredibly dumb low prices, like a lvl 61 blue cloak for 4g, not sure why, the stats were amazing, everything was amazing.. I bought it instantly at lvl 34. General rule however is gear through dungeons/quests, only buy something if its incredibly outdated, but once you're in outland you will get quests that will replace everything in your slots so be careful there how much you spend.

Also a side note: Grey stuff in outlands VENDOR VERY FKIN WELL! ESPECIALLY WEAPONS, as I said previously, stack on mail/plate for armor, and weapons of any kind here are worth the slot in your inventory.

1) get some gold. Around 60-80 gold should be enough.
2) scan the AH (auctioneer addon)
3) "search" for resale
4) pick some Items that are sold for a price, buy them and sell them more expensiv.
5) profit.

e.g.: a few days ago a golden pearl was at ~4 gold/each. I bought them all and auctioned them for 80g/each. Sure, i didnt sell all of them but some. Spend about 60g for all golden pearls on AH and soled 5 of them for about 80g. That's 340g profit.
Did a smiliar thing with silver rods. There werent many of them and they were selling for about 50s-1g/each. Bought them all, sold them for 10g/each. About 100g profit.
I got lucky on those ones though. Tried with other items and it didnt work since i somebody undercut almost instantly. You can never be sure, but there's much gold waiting for you on the auction house.

Sometimes it's not necessary or even a good idea to buy all stacks of an item. Buy only the very cheap ones and undercut the more expensiv ones. Always depends on the marketsituation.

Well, you have skinning, so you can just farm leather and sell that off. Since you've hit outlands, quests are a decent source of income. Fishing can be decently profitable. A general tip that helps the most while levelling however, is to grab Auctioneer, scan the auction house every once in a while, and constantly check if items you pick up while levelling are valuable.

Whether that be meat from beasts, gems, miscellaneous flowers, or recipes that a vendor sells, it's a constant source of income. Recipes in particular is one of the easiest ways to get some startup capital when starting anew and being under level 20 for instance.

That defeats the purpose of playing a game.

Don't get me wrong, some might enjoy the auction play, and it does have its rewards, but... you really really need to enjoy spending time doing so constantly. And obviously as you pointed out this won't work on common goods like leathers/ores, etc.

[Firnblut]

Well, depends.. if you only want to have gold for flying and cold weather flying, you dont have to spend THAT much time. A few lucky trades will get you your gold.

I log in, scan the AH (doing some other stuff while auctioneer does the scanning) use the "search" function, check some items listed there and check on some needed items (like rods, glyphs, enchanting mats) to see if i could buy and resell them all.
Check for twink-gear after.
Takes about 10-20 minutes (plus 20 for the scan. but you can spend the time on other things).

You're in Outland. Keep doing quests and you will have your gold after a few hours.
