Making Gold from Professions.

Ever since the [tag]Burning Crusade[/tag] expansion hit, the economy of WoW was turned upside down.

It’s no longer efficient to grind mob after mob, which is great!

Blizzard still made it possible, and obviously profitable to grind some mobs if you wanted to!

But for those people (like me) who don’t like killing 250,000 mobs a night to get [tag]5000g[/tag]. We still have plenty of ways to collect gold without [tag]grinding[/tag] mindlessly.

Professions give us the option right now to make loads of gold. Everyone is rushing to build their crafting profession up.

It’s our turn to take advantage of this! My two favorite [tag[professions[/tag] right now are Mining and Herbalism.

The reason why I love these [tag]professions[/tag] is because it’s making me a killing!

One character is Mining/Skinning, and the other is Herbalism/Skinning.

The most obvious point is that collecting these herbs and ore in the [tag]Outlands[/tag] because its “new”.

But it’s just as easy to cash in on other ore and bars back in the Azeroth!

Point and Case, I farmed Tin, Copper and Silver (To make Silver Bars and Bronze Bars) to sell on the auction house.

In 2 weeks, I made 3650g. This is from about 30-45 minutes of collecting each day for that 2 week period.

For my herbalist, I usually prefer to stick inside the Outlands though. There are far too many herbs to be picked, while all the alchemists are neglecting it.

Most of our herbs are very “rare” on the [tag]auction house[/tag], so it will do you well to look out for these herbs.

These sell NO LESS then 20g a stack as of right now on the 4 servers I play on.

Heres your [tag]Herbalism[/tag] Lookout list:

Fel Lotus 4.5g/piece
Mana Thistle 4g/piece
Dreaming Glory 15g/stack
Nightmare Vine 35g/stack
Netherbloom 40g/stack
Felweed 15g/stack

Here’s your [tag]Mining[/tag] Lookout list:

Silver Bars
Tin & Copper (For Bronze)
TrueSilver Bars
Eternium Ore (Rare drop inside any node 300+)
Fel Iron Ore
Adamantite Ore
Khorium Ore

All of these sell for a very nice price.

In fact each day I always see someone spamming in the trade channels “WTB Khorium” because not enough miners are putting it on the auction house.

You can create your own market right now with these materials because crafters are going crazy.

You have hundreds of blacksmiths, hundreds of jewelcrafters and hundreds of alchemists all going after ore and herbs, and you are their supplier, sometimes their one and only supplier.

When it comes time to sell, don’t spam all of your auctions on the auction house all at once. This will ruin your income, and your market.

Your buyers will turn into your competition. The reason being is they will see 9 auctions with full stacks of what they want. They already think these items are either rare, or a hassle to gain. Thats the reason they are buying them from you.

Now when they notice you flooding the Auction House with that item, they wonder “What is this guy doing to collect all of these?” then they study the item and find out how to get it themselves and then you lose out even more!

So it’s very important to list your auctions slowly, or spread them through 3-4 different characters that you have.

Case and Point, herbalism and mining are your new pathways to collecting 5,000 gold for that desired epic flying mount!

If you tried hard enough, maybe 2-3 hours a day of farming herbs and ore, you can easily collect for your epic mount in 1 week, probably less.
