Low Level Gold in WoW, Day 1 Screen Shot

On Day 1 of “Making Gold in WoW at Low Levels” I decided to start very simply.  To get started I needed to raise a bit of capital to start my journey to making 100 gold with a low level character.  To start off I created an Orc warrior named Kamulnnd (yes I used the random name generator, its late and I am really tired).   You can see the screen shot above of my new character and his complete lack of cash!

The exact amount of capitol I will need to begin my journey is: 1 silver and 7 copper.  In order to get the silver I did a bit of grinding. I killed and looted 20 Mottled Boars.  Once I sold all the trash that I looted, I had a total of 1 silver and 39 gold, which was more than enough start up cash.

The next step was to run  to Orgrimmar.  I stuck to the road and did not fight anything along as I would most likely get me ass handed to me.  Besides we are here to make some gold, not fight.  We’ll do the fighting once we have a ton of gold.  Once I got to Orgrimmar, I ran to the Cleft of Shadow and spoke with Hagrus (46.46).  From here I purchased the limited supply item Recipe: Rage Potion. Then I ran to  the auction house.

At the AH I did a search for Recipe: Rage Potion to see what others were selling this item for.  Normally, I suggest that you do not undercut your competition as you can usually sell items quite well without undercutting, but in this case I just needed to increase my equity by a few more silvers.  I priced the recipe so that it would sell quickly.    I priced mine for 3 gold because someone else was selling the recipe for 29 gold.  I could have price it much higher, but I am  looking for a quick sale here.

If you are following along and trying to make 100 gold with low level character then here are the steps to follow:

  1. Kill 20 Mottled Boars and loot them all.
  2. Sell all looted items ( you should have over 1 silver 7 copper.  If not, grind a bit more)
  3. Run north to Orgrimarr staying on the main road
  4. Once at Orgrimarr run to Cleft of Shadow (46.46)
  5. Purchase Recipe:Rage Potion from Hagrus
  6. Run to the AH
  7. Post the Recipe.  Do not sell it for under 25 silver, as you will need at least that much for the next step.
  8. Wait for it to sell

Once your auction has sold continue onto part 2 of my making Gold in WoW series
