One of the most important aspects of World of Warcraft is having enough gold while playing the game; without it you will find yourself slowly

progressing through the levels. In World of Warcraft, gold can be used for training, buying new weapons, armor, and sundries. In the

beginning, most things for your character only cost copper or silver pieces, but as you gain levels, equipment and training becomes more

costly. This is when you need gold.

Here are some tips to help you farm World of Warcraft Gold.

Tip 1) Professions: Signing up for a profession early in the game has its advantages. Choosing your profession is key to your success. I have

found blacksmithing and mining as well as skinning to be very profitable professions. Some players make a ton of gold just by max leveling

their profession and then making and selling items to lower level players for a premium cost.

Tip 2) Questing: Signup for quests as often as you can and complete them. This offers several ways to earn gold in the game. First of all,

you will end up killing a lot of monsters along the way so drops are frequent as is money. Take everything you can carry. Secondly, when you

complete the quest you surely will be paid for your hard work. Thirdly, you can sell or auction off all the items you picked up along the

way. Be sure to bring the biggest bags you can afford and always upgrade for bigger bags when you can. You will also gain plenty of

experience in which to level up your character.

Tip 3) Equipment: At the lower levels, 1-40, avoid buying expensive gear unless you are making a twink. Check out my article on twinks for

more information there. Gear at the lower levels is expensive and you end up leveling and finding better items along the way. So just pickup

drops or have other players enchant your stuff to make it more powerful. When you get into the higher levels, you will begin to see items

that last a while and are formidable...those you want to keep or buy...or sell for profit!

Tip 4: Mobs: Certain types of mobs tend to have better drops than others, specifically humanoid mobs. Try to take down as many of these as

you can when traveling the lands or on a quest.
