World of Warcraft Gold Making Guide

Basics

I'll start of with the basics.

You'll want to get Skinning and Mining as your main professions.
I would have stated

fishing before they nerfed it, and it's still semi-viable…But
not anywhere near as

good as it used to be.

Skinning

Skinning, the only way to powerlevel is just killing mobs and
skinning them. I picked

it up from the beginning, so I can't say how long this will
take.

Sell your stuff on the AH. It will sell. Set a buyout. If there
is still time to go before

prime-time on the server ends, set the listing time to long. If
it's almost over, go

ahead and splurge on Very Long.

Mining

Mining. THIS is a world of warcraft gold maker, and I'm sure
some people are going

to bitch about me revealing one of the very good mithril spots,
but here we go:

I took this up at 30, and spent around 6 hours powerleveling it
up to 230. As per

usual, sell the stuff on the AH in smelted stacks. BUYOUT is
your friend. It is the

BEST thing you can do.

For getting through the copper levels, Durotar is your friend.
Sorry about this for you

alliance guys, but for copper and tin, you're out of luck for my
advice.

The stuff is everywhere. I did a sort of lazy figure eight
around the canyon right

before Ogrimmar. Took me about 45 minutes to get up to tin
level.

Tin is a bitch. The Barrens had the easiest route to go on, but
it took a long time

compaired to the other levels. Near Ashenvale there is a place
with some harpies

that has a fairly good tin spawn rate. From there, stick to that
wall, and go south.

There are spawns along that, but your goal is South Barrens. Go
in circles around the

Scorpid and Bristleback and Razormane areas. After a while of
this, you should

eventually get up to what's need.

Note: When selling on the AH, it isn't always the best idea to
just smelt copper and

tin into bronze, or visa versa. Check the going prices, and
figure out if selling the

bases or the product will sell for more. I've seen Tin going for
70s a stack and copper

for 40s, while bronze was only going for 50s a stack. You lose
10s when you sell.
