where and how can you get gold?Follow

i'm not a top player. the gold in my account is not enough for getting my favorite gear. i can't find a trustable and safe play to get more gold? and i never bought gold online before.what kind of quest can earn lots of gold? i need your suggestions.

I've always found just playing the game ends up earning you quite a bit of gold. Collect what you can while you level, and don't buy stuff on the AH, just sell.

Do your 25 dailies everyday. Pick up some gathering professions and level them, selling things on the AH. Learn to read the AH and play the Buy / Sell game. Go out and mindlessly kill things and sell the useable loot on the AH. There are quite a few ways to earn gold out there that doesn't involve buy gold from people who stole it from other players in the first place.

I repeat, DO NOT BUY GOLD. YOU ARE ONLY HURTING THE GAME AS A WHOLE AND ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S ACCOUNT INFORMATION. BESIDES, BUYING GOLD MAKES YOU A COMPLETE TOOL.

You shouldn't be buying all of your gear on the ah. Are you running your dungeons every day? By doing randoms, (if you aren't 85) you get a satchel with some gold and a decent blue to use or sell, and if you are 85, you earn various currency that allows you to buy gear with that.

I prefer gathering mats to producing items to sell on the ah. If you mine, skin or herb, sell that stuff man. A lot of people are not inclined to farm mats, and if they're willing to pay you for your work, that's a good way of transferring their gold to your pockets.
I can spend a half hour fishing the coastline of Uldum, and earn 3-400 gold just for the fish used in higher level foods. If you can cook them yourself, it's usually more. My jc spent an few hours mining in Uldum, prospected the ore and sold 25 carnelians that go on my server for 125g each. (I like Uldum lol)

Get the add-on Auctionator or Auctioneer. It helps you to determine your sales prices. Doesn't help if you throw stuff on the ah, and you're the highest price of the day.
And please for the love of all that is holy, do not put 5 pages of single items on the ah for bid only. People use harsh words when they're plowing through pages of that crap.

Like everybody else here said Do Not Buy Gold. The stuff they're selling is usually from someone else's hacked account.

This ^^ I'm a new player and really pleased at the gear/gold I get from simply questing. I may not/probably don't have *the* most "uber" equipment, but it works for my level and where I fight. I also have mining as a profession and sell items I acquire through that profession on the AH, as well as other profession materials I loot but again, I do this while I'm questing. Thus far I haven't had to go out and "grind" for anything to sell.

Edit - Doing random/dailies has been mentioned twice thus far. Except for the current Love Festival, are there random and or other daily quests?

There are dailies hubs scattered all over. The Wildhammer faction has a hub in Twilight Highland, Therezane has a hub in Deepholme, and Uldum has two dailies for the Rahmaken faction.

Tol Barad has a hub available at all times and a second hub on the island itself when your faction controls it.

There is also the Molten Front dailies that become available once they are unlocked through a small quest chain in Mount Hyjal. If I remember right the quest chain is started from the Hero's Call board.

Another thing about running dungeons is that they drop a lot of fabric. If you';re not a tailor or doing first aid, fabric is always a solid AH seller. Right now on main server, wool is selling for anywhere from 2-2.5 gold per piece. Embersilk and frostweave prices are downright scandalous. Many mobs drop fabric, but in dungeons its much more common. Also you can sell a lot of the low level gear you find. Good grey pieces will bring 3-15 G each, greens to 50 or so, blues up to several hundred. On solo through Blackfathom or Shadowfang (among others), can easily net several hundred G with no effort or risk.

The trick is not to be greedy. Undercut, undercut, undercut! Say you'll only net 3GP from a blade. But a vendor would only pay you 30 Silver. Instant 10,000% profit. The pieces you don't sell can still be dumped to vendors or innkeepers. If its a good piece, grey or green, I'll often offer it a second time - sometimes timing is everything.

What I truly hate is having to dump good soulbound stuff to vendors for coppers on the gold. I can't even give it to to other players and my alts. I thought enchanting might be a good solution, but the cost and effort of leveling enchanting to the point where selling the rendered mats pays big has pretty much chilled my enthusiasm.

Cloth for tailoring CAN be expensive but doesn't have to be. All dungeons drop scads of cloth. Cloth to sell might be even easier to gather in this way. I don't let it worry me that the dungeon or area is 20 levels below me.. The point is profit, swatting mobs to get their stuff is like stealing candy from a baby. Purists might look down on it, but the candy (i.e. LOOT) goes a long way to salving your conscience. Being able to drop 4K G on a flight license pr 500 GP on an uber weapon and not even blink -priceless!

Woot! Heading out soon to do some dungeon farming.

I always found that gold farming was always the best way to get gold.

I don't know what you people are talking about, but I can't think of any quest in-game that gives just gold.

I was looking around my achievements, and stumbled upon the the statistics, Character tab, money earned in the AH. I have an auctioneer on both factions. I wonder how I'm... OMG over a million gold in earnings. I've had some fun. Now, back to saving.

Yup yup. Bonus if you take the time to collect few pieces and put them up together.

The Mrs. is sitting on a lot of gold with nothing to spend it on at the moment. She dropped nearly 2k for some of the Battleforge set the other day. My server isn't nearly as lucrative in that respect, but I can make an quick couple hundred if I come across something skimpy.

When that fails it's back to my old job of beating people up and taking their lunch money. That and glyphs, <3 glyphs.
