I’ve heard of this WoW Gold farming strategy before (well I wouldn’t really call it a WoW gold farming strategy but…) and have heard that it can be extremely effective. Some people may not be cut out for it because it involves profiting from other unsuspecting World of Warcraft players. If you have lower than average morals, prepare to make some profit! For this to work you are going to need to use two characters that are on the same realm.

.

.

1. Find a decent priced rare item in the Auction House. Make sure that there are no other auctions of that same item at this time.
2. Purchase the item and then relist it for a much higher price.
3. Then log in on the other character and place an ad in the trade channel that says: “WTB <insert item the you originally purchased> for <enter much higher price than what you listed it on the AH for>”
4. Now wait for a few moments for someone to check out the AH and realize that the item you mentioned in the trade channel is on the AH, and that they could make profit by buying it from the AH and selling it to you. They will then contact you.
5. Once a deal has been struck arrange a meeting place to make the trade.
6. Once you meet up and open the trade window you can confirm that they have the item. Now say something to the player like: “Hold on just a minute I need to transfer some gold to this character brb”
7. Then log out and check your other character to see if the auction had sold

As you can see you are scamming someone that was planning on scamming you. They could have easily sent you a tell that mentioned that the item you are looking for is in the AH for cheaper than what you are asking. Well this is how I justify WoW gold farming from other players. Give it a try. I would start with low priced items to start and then work your way up.

A great item to go and do some WoW gold farming for is the Big Iron Fishing Pole. This item usually sells on the Auction House for around 32 gold.

In order to get this item head to the Shadowprey Village in Desolace. It is a Horde controlled village,so you Alliance that want to do this must be careful. Once you make it to the village (or near the village) head out into the water and head west. It is best to bring along a few Water Breathing Potions. Just west of the docks you will be a bunch of submerged cages scattered throughout the seabed. In order to find the Big Iron Fishing Pole you will need to open these cages. The cages will normally spawn a level 33-34 mob, but once in a while they drop the Big Iron Fishing Pole. I figure you could probably make a solid 3-4 gold and hour in this location with all of the other drops of vendor trash and possible green items.

This spot can be a tedious place to do some WoW gold farming if you play on a crowded server, but can be very rewarding if you give it a try.

The other day I wrote a post titled: WoW Gold Farming: Selling World of Warcraft Pets where I mentioned the profitable business of selling pets in the World of Warcraft.

I realized that after I wrote the post that I should have added a list of all of the pets that you can buy and sell, and where to find them. So here on this post I have compiled a list of pets that you can buy and sell to make some extra gold for your character.

I would have to say that if you really want to make a profit selling pets, then you need to head off to Netherstorm and visit Dealer Rashaad at 43.35

Now get back to WoW Gold farming!

Recently I found a site that kind of shocked me and presented something I didn’t really even think of. In all my time WoW Gold farming I never would have thought of this- Not in a million years.

Blizzard has placed a cap on the amount of gold a single character can have.

Apparently it has something to do with the programming of the game. What really shocked me more than this gold limit was that someone actually made enough gold to see what this limit was. I am surprised that the Chinese WoW Gold Farming community hasn’t found or exposed this yet. So anyways I found on this site, The Warcraft Millionaire a video that shows the guy who has reached the gold cap of:214,748 gold, 36 silver, 48 copper. I am still not sure why this cap happens, or why the programming would allow this. It might say more on the site, but I was too dumbfounded by the video that shows all this gold.

I have seen a lot of gold before. I do a lot of WoW Gold farming, but I have never seen anything like this before. It is absolutley mind boggling.

Here’s a great spot for some laid back WoW gold Farming. Get yourself to Deadwind Pass with a few empty bags and start chopping down some Sky Shadows. So what are we farming for here? That’s right Vendor trash. The crap that these birds drop are huge. Each kill drops an average of 5 pieces of trash, and I have found that I can usually take in around 2-3 gold every 5 minutes.

.

.

Lets take a look at the drops and their value

All you need to do is follow the route on the map below and when all your bags are full start selling.

Nestled in the heart on Silithus are the creatures named after the region. The Silithid.

For a skinner the Silithids are a great mob to grind. I haven’t worked out the gold per hour ratio as of yet, but this area is great for wow gold farming. Here is why…

Skinning the Silithid flayers can get you either of these 2 items

Light Silithid Carapace

Heavy Silithid Carapace

Each one of these fetches a huge price in the Auction House when sold in stacks of 20. The Light Carapace sells on average for 13 gold , while the Heavy Carapace sells for around 16 gold. Don’t forget to use the Auction House strategies I suggested in a previous post to maximize your skinning Auction House profits.
