WoW Gold Farming is a big part of making Gold in the World of Warcraft, but a lot of people are doing it all wrong.

Farming, Skinning, Looting etc is the easy part, it’s the selling of the materials that is the hard part. Most people take the material they have been farming, head to the auction house and list their stacks just a little bit lower than the already lowest price.

This is totally backwards, and here is why…

You spend so much time farming these items so why would you sell yourself short and list these items for the lowest price. It makes no sense. Instead you need to maximize your profits so that farming is worth your time. Besides, you know that someone else if going to come along and list their stack at even cheaper than your, and someone else is going to their stack even cheaper. And the cycle continues.

Did you notice that even when this type of thing happens, your stack usually sells even though there are other people with stacks cheaper than yours?

Let’s analyze why this happens with an example of Linen Cloth. When someone decides to learn first aid they need around 120 Linen Cloths (12 stacks) to get their skill up to 80. To get started they will normally head to the AH to pick up 12 stacks of Linen Cloth. They will of course purchase the cheapest stacks first and then gradually move up to the next price category and begin purchasing the more expensive stacks.

During peak playing time (ie weekends) this happens all the time. Players are constantly leveling up their skills and purchasing large amounts of farmed material from the AH. So instead of your material at the lowest price, try increasing your asking price and post the auctions on the weekend. You will see a huge increase in the amount of gold you make farming.
