Knowing how to make gold in world of warcraft is a real life skill integrated in the game. It reflects real life economics of buying low and sell high, be that a luxury, commodity or essential item, food or anything that is needed in the game by the 9 or so million players logging on wow worldwide. There are many, many ways to make gold in wow. The most common are to use the auction house, gathering items that can be sold to vendor or preferably at auction, and making money from professions and good old fashioned grinding.

To make money from the auction house simply use the search button and check out the prices of items. To buy low and sell high is all you need to do here for big profits. To do this can be fairly time consuming and many players tend to do this almost full time as they have little time to do anything else. However this can be made easier by using the auctioneer add on to scan prices giving you a good idea of what prices are like on your server and enable you to undercut other players so you can sell faster. Or you can use it to find anything that is listed at a price that is lower than you would expect and then sell on on for a very fast profit. The best tactic is to make your auction as quick as you can, say two hours, and during times when players are on line the most like in the evening.

If you need to make money from professions, the two you should follow looking to take up are skinning and fishing. Skinning is great to take up especially as you level upwards and kill monsters that you can skin. Beside which they look to use the skin to make items they can then re-sell quickly at a major profit over what they pay for the skin so really this is a win win situation.

Players on some servers can make up to 100 to 200 gold each hour. Remeber that it’s not just fish that you can catch, depending on your level of xp, but also blue and rare purples that command hundreds if not thousands of gold at the auction house.

Grinding is by far the most boring way to make gold in gold of warcraft but it is the most tried and tested way to make it. And if you know where to look in the games, some zones yield far more than other zones. Knowing where to grind can make the difference of making 100 gold a day from making 100 gold an hour. I know which I option I would prefer.
