| Warcraft you have probably learned by now that | | | | yields more experience, more money, more killing, |
| you need a ton of gold in order to really enjoy | | | | more skinning potential, more traveling (more |
| the game. One of the most important reasons | | | | mining potential) and end quest rewards in the |
| for having plenty of gold is purchasing mounts. | | | | form of more money/items/experience! This is |
| Mounts completely change the dynamic of the | | | | way more fun than just grinding out an |
| game because you can travel to more places | | | | area...although there are times when grinding is |
| faster. Walking and running stinks! | | | | necessary! |
| Well, as a long time player I wanted to share with | | | | 6. Important! Before leaving on your travels, be |

| making 1000's of gold in no time. Just follow these | | | | potions, buff potions etc. This is vitally important, |
| steps and you can't go wrong. Some may seem | | | | especially if you are traveling alone! Plan to be |
| very simple, remember KISS (keep it simple | | | | away from home for a while. |
| stupid) and you will be well on your way to | | | | 7. Now you are ready to hit the trails. Keep these |
| making gold. | | | | things in mind: Always have your best buffs on |
| Ok, so here are the preliminary steps: | | | | that meet your style of play. If you are very |
| 1. The first thing you absolutely have to do is | | | | offensive in nature, then make sure you have the |
| start completing the low level quests. This does | | | | best offensive buffs on...for example a Paladin |
| several things: gain exp, gain copper and | | | | traveling alone might have his shield aura on. This |
| opportunity to pickup items you can sell. So, start | | | | increases his armor. He might have a Blessing of |
| picking up as many low level quests as you can. | | | | might to increase his attack. As you travel, pick |
| The majority of these quests will involve you | | | | and choose your attacks carefully. You might not |
| killing creatures or collecting items, or both. Don't | | | | want to wade into a raider camp all alone, but |
| sweat it-just do it. Pick up every item a creature | | | | you can pick off an orc here and there by |
| drops even if it seems insignificant until your | | | | yourself without too much trouble. This is |
| backpack is full. If you are lucky you might even | | | | important. The last thing you need is to be soloing |
| find a pouch or two that you can add to your | | | | and getting killed every other minute. This does |
| character and load up even more items into! Be | | | | not translate to a good gold per hour ratio! |
| sure to turn in your quests as you complete | | | | 8. Humanoids tend to drop stackable items such |
| them...more money and items are usually given as | | | | as cloth, linen, wool etc. This is great, stack it up. |
| rewards. Some items you may not need but can | | | | Always be on the look out for this stuff because |
| sell to a vendor...so get rid of those! Also, sell | | | | it will resell at auction for more than a vendor will |
| everything you DON'T need from your pack to a | | | | pay. If you are a miner, be sure to have your |
| vendor. More money for you. | | | | detect ore on and search out every mineral vein |
| 2. Now that you have some levels and hopefully | | | | you can find. Mine them repeatedly until the ore |
| money, you need to load up on slot bags. If you | | | | disappears. Take everything. Be sure to mark |
| don't already have them, you can buy them from | | | | locations as well so that you can return later to |
| a vendor. Be sure to get the biggest bags you | | | | re-mine. Of course most mining caves will yield |
| can afford. The more the better! | | | | multiple ore veins. |
| 3. Once you have your bags, you need to pick | | | | 9. Important! IF you are a hunter, be sure to get |
| two professions. The question is which ones | | | | your pet as soon as you can. Pets are a |
| should you pick? You can either pick two that | | | | TREMENDOUS help when farming because they |
| work well together such as mining/blacksmithing, | | | | help to keep you alive longer than other soloists. |
| herbalism/potions, skinning/leather-working, or you | | | | 10. By now, if you are following these steps, you |

| have found that the gathering professions | | | | stuff to sell, completing quests and getting more |
| generally yield the best results such as skinning | | | | money/exp/items. Clear out those bags every |
| and mining. The reason for this is that you are | | | | time you come back to a town or major city. |
| going to spend time on your journeys either | | | | Try to only keep the bare essentials and sell the |
| mining for ores or skinning animals. Skinning will be | | | | rest. You can and I highly advise this, to go to the |
| more profitable in the long run because you are | | | | local bank and setup a vault. This will allow you to |
| doing several things: killing for experience, picking | | | | store items that you want to keep for a later |
| up dropped items for resale, and skinning the | | | | date as well as items that you get less frequently. |
