Most of the gold guides and strategies out there don’t focus on making gold while leveling up, they only focus on the auction house or farming at level 85. What they are forgetting is that there are players like you and I know our characters are leveling up, not everyone is 85 or has the knowledge to be a successful auction house trader, at least not yet. While leveling up, we can still make gold, it’s quite easy to be honest, you just need to know the right strategy. If you don’t have a gold guide or don’t know the right strategies, you won’t get any good gold. So if you don’t want to end up at level 85 with 1273 gold, you should continue reading.
Gold Leveling Strategy 1:
One of the most popular ways to make gold in Cataclysm as a low level is with simple things. If you are just starting the game, then the gathering profession like mining, herbalism, and skinning will be helpful in making good amounts of gold. On my server, a stack of copper ores can sell for over 50 gold. So the only thing you need to do to get your level 20 mounts is farm a stack of copper ores, wasn’t that hard? Well, this is great for the lower levels, but when you reach a higher level, you can earn even more.
Gold Leveling Strategy 2:
This one is pretty simple too. When you travel through the World of Warcraft zones, you will find many traveling vendors, these sell some rare items that you can sell on the auction house for 10 times the price you bought them for. These items are usually recipes, schematics, formulas, and basically anything that people need for their professions. The reason people buy these is because they are really rare, and most people don’t have the time to travel to a level 48 zone to pick up a recipe. And most of the time, it’s just random, so you might find an item someone would pay hundreds of gold for. In short, whenever you see a vendor while leveling up, you should check what they have to sell. If you find similar formulas or items, just buy them because you will never lose gold with this strategy.
Remember to check the Auction House for what they’re selling, and if you can’t find one there it means it’s rare, so don’t sell it for 150g to the first person who wants to buy it. Browse a few and you’ll find the right price for that item.
