WoW Guides For Gold

This is the classic example of making WOW gold at a low level. You don’t need to have a max level toon to be able rake in lots of gold. You don’t even need to craft things. Surely having a high level can be an advantage but there are still some ways of getting WOW gold with a low level toon. The most basic routine is going into the buy and sell business. But you need to have some gold as starting capital for this one.

If you have a level 30 then you probably ventured into Stranglethorn Vale and done some quests there. It occupies a large portion of the Eastern Kingdoms. There’s a quest available in the area where you have to collect 15 pages of Green Hills of Stranglethorn. Lots of players abhor this quest because the pages are random drops from the different mobs in the area. Some get frustrated because they would get what they don’t need and occupies a lot of bag space. I know a lot of guild mates who skipped this quest before but because of the achievements most of them are retaking the quest again. Majority of these players look for the pages in the Auction House instead of wasting their time grinding.

Blizzard knows how to make simple quests frustrating. The pages are not numbered in order. For the quest you need to get pages 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, and 27. Some people resort to spamming the local zone chat for their missing pages. There are players who have lots of duplicate pages from killing mobs during questing.

You don’t even have to go to the Stranglethorn Vale to profit from the pages. All you need to do is to look in the Auction House for The Green Hills of Stranglethorn pages. Buy the pages that are placed at 25silver or less. Same pages can be stacked. Try to make complete sets and sell them.

Your target market is not the low level player questing in STV but the level 80 ones who are trying to complete the Hemet Nessingwary: The Collected Quests achievement. More often than not, most level 80s have not completed this quest. At 25gold per set you’ll be getting a lot of gold in no time. But keep in mind that the more sets you’ll sell, the smaller your target market becomes.

While doing you’re dailies with the Sons of Hodir, you might want to take some time grinding for Mammoth and Worm meat before turning your quest in. The quest in question is Polishing the Helm, which is done inside the Hibernal Cavern just west of Dun Niffelem.

Inside the cave you can find the worms that drop Worm Meat. If you go there during off peak hours, you would have the cave all on your own. The respawn rate is good that you could go in circles without spending any downtime. That’s if you are the lone farmer in the Hibernal Cavern. You could fill your bags with Worm Meat or save some space for some Chunk O’ Mammoth that could be farmed just outside the cave.

Speaking of the mammoths, there are two packs of mammoths outside the cave. What I usually do is to kill the Mammoths and then go in the Hibernal Cavern, kill the worms and then go back out just in time for the respawn of the mammoths.

This grind would be a lot more profitable if you’re a skinner as well. The mammoths and worms are skinnable therefore there’s a chance that you could get an Arctic Fur or two in an hour. This is valuable and always in demand.

As for the meat, you could either cook them or sell them as is. It will depend on the status of your server’s market. In my server, I have observed that worm meat sells higher when cook while mammoth meat is best served raw. Maybe it might be different in your realm. Cooked meat is in demand, especially with raiders. Well fed buffs can give them the much needed bonus to last the boss fights.

I usually place stacks of five in the Auction House for cooked food while I place a full stack of twenty for raw meat. The reason for this is because raiders most likely would buy small amounts of cooked food before their raids while those wanting to level their cooking skill would buy meat in bulk.

Mammoth and worm meat can bring easy WOW gold for you. Plus you can do the farming while you’re at your daily quest rotation. That’s making the most of your time. You’re already at the spot; you might as well milk it for what it’s worth.

You might be wondering how the hell a
white item dropped by level 16 to 36 monsters can sell for at least
1gold each. That’s the status Spider’s Silk. We all know that any
spider silk type can be sold easily in the Auction House but the
lowest kind is hard to farm. This is always in demand in the Auction
House because of their relatively low supply. This is because most
low level players mistake them for vendor trash. What they don’t
know is that Spider’s Silk is an essential material for some
crafted Twink items.

If you’re planning to farm for
Spider’s Silk, the best place to go is the Arathi Highlands. There
you will find Giant Plains Creeper. They have a 10% chance to drop
the coveted Spider’s Silk. Not only that, they also drop Thick
Spider’s Silk, Large Fangs, Crunchy Spider Legs, green items and
vendor trash. That would bring around ten to thirty gold per hour.

What makes Spider’s Silk valuable?
Well, they are used to make 2 rare items, Spidersilk Boots and the
Toughened Leather Gloves. A Leatherworker can actually make lots of
gold making and selling Toughened Leather Gloves. Based on the 2
patterns, it would be best to sell your Spider’s Silk in stacks of
two.

It is also needed to make Robes of
Arcana. This robe is needed for a Warlock quest. If you’re a
Tailor, you could pick up at least 15gold for one. That’s easy WOW
gold for you. The downside for this is that it is not something that
would sell all the time.

You must also search the Auction House
from time to time for this item. Most players would sell it for less
than 1gold. You could be the Spider’s Silk tycoon of your server by
monopolizing the market. Once you’ve done that, you could dictate
the price of Spider’s Silk to your favor.

The price of the silk remains stable
even when Wrath of the Lich King expansion arrived. This is because
even if the demand is not that high, there are no Spider’s Silk
farmers in my server. The few in the Auction House were placed by
casual players who picked it up while questing.

What is trash for someone is an
opportunity for you. This is just one item that you can make lots of
WOW gold on. There are a couple others undiscovered by other players.
Find out the one that you could specialize on and capitalize on it.

I love the new worth. With the Wrath of the Lich King come a lot of potential gold makers. I checked the Auction House for overpriced items and one stood out among the rest. Crystallized Life sells for 60gold each in my server. Tailors and Alchemists need this to craft several items, such as Shining Spellthread and Mighty Shadow Protection Potion. This is the WoTLK version of Mote of Life while the Eternal Life is the Primal Life. So begins my quest for WoTLK’s Bog Lord.

I’m not a Herbalist therefore I need to find monsters that would have a decent drop rate for Crystallized Life and during my search I’ve found several mobs that I found that do drop the coveted item.

First on my list is the Level 69 to 71 Thornvine Creeper found at Northern part of Howling Fjord (53, 16). I observed that they have a pretty low drop rate for Crystallized Life but they do have decent vendor trash and I looted a green item but if you’re farming for Crystallized Life, this mob is not recommended.

Then while doing the quest Strengthen the Ancients in Dragonblight, I found out that the Woodland Walkers that drop the Bark of Walkers needed for the quest also drop Crystallized Life. I needed 3 Bark of Walkers for my quest and on my last kill I also looted a Crystallized Life. That’s 1 in 5 kills. I thought the drop rate is pretty decent so I went on and farmed them for Crystallized Life. Turns out, the drop rate is pretty much the same as with the Thornvine Creepers.

Last but definitely not the last on my list are the Mossy Rampager found in Zul’Drak. This level 75 to 76 monster is what I consider the Bog Lord of the WoTLK. They have a pretty decent drop rate for the Crystallized Life. The downside for this is that you have to be at least level 78 to maximize your farming potential.

I’m sure the price for Crystallized Life will be lower after a couple of weeks into the Wrath of the Lich King. The respawn rate is fast, much like every mob in WoTLK these days. I’m sure it would normalize after a month or so. Therefore if you have a level 78 toon then I suggest farming for Crystallized Life today. That way you can afford getting a Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth of your own.
