WoW: How do you make your gold?

Grind leather on my dk . Never need to rest for food/mana . Get a fair amount of artic fur which sells on my shard for 80g each . The leather i make armour with and do a mixture of selling some bits and disenchanting the rest .

Also buy herbs (rogue aint quite high enough to harvest them safely) and grind them into scribe mats and eithier make velums and sell or just sell mats .
Also buy herbs and make runic mana/heal pots which sell for 30g for 5 so decent profit in them .

I also go mad and play AH and empty it of certain items and then selld at huge markup .. Dont always work but nice when it does . Its handy when you have enough chars to make most things in game .

Persil

It's the only way I play WoW now and have done for over a year :)

I 5-box using 2 PCs (as my main PC will BSOD if I run a second WoW) and use KeyClone and Kavoom to synch them up.

I got into MBing with the 'traditional' 5xShaman team, which is the best introduction to MBing, as each Shammy does exactly what the 'leader' does, same target, same spells... easy to set up and get to grips with.

I've moved on now and my L80 team is a mixed team (Pally tank, Priest healer, Warlock, Mage, Hunter DPS). This was a lot more complex to get working but I like to think I play it well now... have cleared all 5-man content except for the last fight in Oculus and have a bunch of Heroics on 'farm'... and get my first look at Naxx10 on Thursday evening :)

Doing the dailies with my 5-box team is incredibly easy and a very efficient means of earning oodles of cash. I do 25 a day in Icecrown and the Argent Tournament, then move on to do Heroic bosses for emblems of heroism.

Never met anyone good at the game who hasn't bought gold at some point :p

It seems like the most pathetic thing in the world to do at first but when you think about the hours you've been grinding that could have been spent in work it makes sense.

As i said grind for 15 hours, make 1500g

Work for 15 hours, spend 2 hours wages on gold (1500)

You now have £100 more than the person who has been grinding non stop because they have too big a wang and pride to pay for it.

Ah well, their loss.

You see, my point of view is different. I don't consider grinding as a chore, because I make sure I'm enjoying myself when I grind. I grind with friends, chat it up, help people with quests, do instance runs, the odd raid here or there. I enjoy grinding. Not my loss at all, because I'm not the one paying money to avoid being irritated by a computer game, then paying a subscription on top of that.

TLDR: Learn to MMO, because you're doing it wrong.
 
Just doing Dailies and selling greens (at 80)

if your not max level just loot absolutley everything you find and vendor it. made a stupid amount like that.

im an engineer so i never make any money through professions :(
though rocket boots easily make up for it :D

thats not grinding....

grinding is the same repetative boring task over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

get teh picture? what your reffering to is what you would do on a normal day in wow anyway.

how can dungeon runs and helping people with quests be considered grinding :p

i dont agree with buying gold though you arent losing out to working hours so his point is not valid, you play in your spare time when you would have nothing else to do anyway

But the problem is, you won't actually have spent that extra time in work, at least anyone who doesn't do some overtime because they need to play WoW needs their head looking at, so in reality all you are is £20 down.

Completely depends on how much you play

If you play non stop then 10/14 days, by non stop i mean 16-20 hours a day knowing exactly where to level.

If you play a lot 5-6 weeks

If you're a casual gamer it can take over 12 weeks.

:rolleyes: After 6 months, I have only reached lvl 42 for my main char, 22 for my hunter alt and 16 for my warrior alt. It has been a long, slow learning curve but it is getting there. The biggest problem I have had is finding help for the dungeon quests and using a poor dps character for a while (priest). but since reaching lvl 36, things have picked up and the levelling has started to speed up. Also I have started to make gold by using the AH instead of flogging loot to the nearest npc.

I wouldn't touch alts until you've made 80 if that's your goal really. It'll take you an age otherwise!

The first 20 or so is relatively easy. I have 2 chars (one 48, one 31) and I got them to to those levels in about 4 days each using 3x XP bonus. No idea what it's like onwards but I've heard that 70-80 is a real chore and can take weeks.

Nah. I did 70-80 in a weekend.

You can level even faster nowadays with the xp bonus.
 
I have 2 80's, made about 4-5K each while leveling both to 80, best money maker in the game is leveling.

Other than that, dailies and mining.
 
Dailies, crafting flasks make me a few pennies on the side.

Bought my epic flappy mount in TBC just from buying cheap netherweave from the AH, turning it into bandages and vendoring it, you'd be amazed at how often you'd find the cloth at below the vendor price.

Well let me think

I could spend 2 hours at work earning £20 which got me around 1500g back then or i could grind for 10-15 hours

15 hours - 2 = 13

That leaves me 13 hours to work in which i could earn over £100 pound

But if you want to sit there grinding all day, go for it :)

I'm the one who's £100 up in real money

I buy my gold once in a blue moon, I only have enough time to do 2 or 3 quests each night. I've never been a the hardcore type, I just enjoy playing games. I've been playing a WOW for the past three years and consider myself a noob.
