In this article I reveal 3 secrets I use to get gold faster. You can use these tips from the first day your start playing WoW so don’t worry if your still a newbie.

1. Select Gathering Professions

If you choose profession such as Jewelmaking, Blacksmithing, Enchanting or Inscription you’ll most likely end up spending thousands and thousands over the course of levelling. They are great once they have been levelled up but it’s very expensive and takes a lot of time and energy to get there.

At the other end of the spectrum, professions such as Mining, Skinning and Herbalism are more straightforward. You can find many of the resources you need while you are leveling and you have the option of selling these in the Auction House.

Herbalism’s popularity as a profession has skyrocketed ever since the launch of Inscriptions with WOTLK. Low level herbs like Earthroot and Peacebloom can now be sold for a unproportionally high 10 – 30 gold per stack.

Before I reached level 10 on a new character I recently started, I had already reached 90 gold – this was 100% due to Herbalism.

2. There are numerous items that you can purchase from sellers to resell.

Some of these types of items are scarce and you’ll need to travel a bit to get them which may not be possible for low level characters. Alternatively you can buy these types of items in the Auction house and the resell them using an Alt. The first aid training book is one example that comes to mind.

You’ll find that in some realms you can easily sell these items for 5 times the purchase price.

3. Take up Cooking as soon as you can.

Cooking is a great profession to have because it works extremely well with questing. You can collect meats you need to level up easily when doing quests. You’ll also end up saving a lot of money because you’ll never need to buy food or water. Farming and Grinding also become much easier when you have Cooking as a profession.

If you want to be as rich as possible, you’ll need to think about gold farming not only in terms of killing creatures for the gold and items, but also in terms of how your profession can best work with questing. Do this well and you’ll have all the gold you need.
