So you decided to enter the vast kingdom of Azeroth? You may be wondering how you can afford simple things like better gear and skills? Well here is a guide to follow! Just follow some of the simple strategies I?ve laid out for you and you?ll do just fine!
Index

Part One-Making use of your trade skills

Part Two-Making use of the auction house

Part Three- Grouping/Looting

Part Four-Don?t waste on what you don?t need

Part Five- Use the NPC vendors to your advantage

Part Six- General Wrap Up


Part One-Making use of your trade skills

You have 2 trade skills you can learn! Make use of them, If your going to want some extra cash that you have to spend on items or training I suggest you start your profession of choice!

1.1 Introduction to skills

There are a couple things to do before you pick your skills.
A) Make sure your skills are complementary to each other if you picking up something like blacksmithing, leatherworking, engineering, or Alchemy. If you?re going to pick up Blacksmithing I highly suggest you pick up mining so you don?t always have to be looking for materials and paying out the buttocks for one.

B) If you aren?t really into crafting, don?t go into it! It isn?t worth wasting one of your 2 possible main skills on! Skills are meant to be useful and help you out, if you?re not going to use it pick up something easy to work with such as skinning.

C) Make sure you go from Journeyman to Expert to Artisan as soon as you can! If you are maxed on skill (Except for once there is no more to learn) you?re wasting what could be potential levels. (Here is a list of some skinning trainers In the major cities you can just ask a guard and look at your map and there will be a red flag for where his exact location is) Like any other profession keep up to date on your skills.

1.2 Skinning as a Skill

One skill of the two skills I highly suggest grabbing is skinning. People will pay a good amount for the hides that you skin off a creature. Leveling skinning is easy too!

One of the reasons Skinning is a great skill is because you can incorporate skinning into leveling your character as you go your merry way.
I?m currently at a skill of 179 in Skinning and I loot medium hide or medium leather almost every time!

You can sell Medium leather to another player at approximately 2silver-3silver depending on how desperate you are.

Medium hide doesn?t really sell well to players but I sold it for 1.5 silver a piece to vendors. In a typical night in the wetlands I could loot approximately 50 medium leathers and about 15 hides. That?s anywhere between 1.15 gold and 1.75 gold.

Skinning only requires you to buy a knife which costs 79 copper at a general vendor. That?s roughly 1 gold and 15 silver that can be spent on training! All you have to do is find a buyer! If you are having trouble finding a buyer just throw it up on the auction house in Ironforge or the one in Horde place.

1.3 Mining as a Skill

Mining is a great skill to learn because some materials can sell for a pretty penny! Just like skinning mining requires virtually no work for the player! All you have to do is run up to a vein and mine it.

Ore sells for anywhere from 5 copper (copper) to 5 silver (Gold) but bars can sell for more depending on the item used. So even at a low level it is 100% profit unlike the crafting professions where you may need to take into account material costs

Minerals are usually found on rocky surfaces and sometimes underwater-Just turn on your find minerals and it will highlight them with a gold dot on your mini map

1.4 Quick Wrap-Up on skills

I have only listed 2 of the skills because these 2 are my favorite. If you have time to find materials and new schematics for some of the other ones more power to you! But if your lazy like me I suggest sticking to these two skills!

[Skinning-Great way to get quick cash when your in need, just grab your spell book/hammer/sword/axe and kill some critters (***You cant skin NPC?s so the Hannibal?s out there can stay way from this***)

Mining-Another great profession that requires almost no work-Quick money if you know where to go(The Deadmines and other caves are usually a great place to mine)

So in the beginning of the game make sure you grab a skill and if you don?t like it you can always unlearn it by hitting K and then clicking on the red X(Not sure if there is a confirmation but don?t do it unless you mean it)


Part Two-Making use of the auction house

So you have all those items and you have no clue what to do with them? You put the item in trade but you don?t feel you?re getting offered what you should get? Well then throw it in the auction house! I recently sold Moss Agate for 1 gold in the auction house when I was only offered 20 silver when I put it up in general chat!

I know there are some packrats out there! I?m one of them I recently looked in my bank and saw stuff I looted when I was only Level 5! Throw the stuff up on the auction house and see what happens!

When using the auction house make sure you list your items at a time of day where there is a lot of traffic! Don?t list an item at 3am and have it end at 11am! If your going to only have time to list items in the early morning make sure you do longer auctions so you get the traffic you deserve!

Start it at a good price so it can get into a bidding war! I suggest starting it at the minimum you would get from a vendor (Usually will do that for you).

Do a little market research before you post your item! If you see there are a lot of them maybe you should hold off a little while before you put the item up for grabs!

So lets review, Auction house is good for getting the best you can get because you have many different people with different needs and wallet sizes looking for items. You open up inventory space for items that you could possibly use for quest items/various things you may want to equip.


Part Three- Grouping/Looting

Now you may be asking what he means by this. Well I mean your group looting! Most of the worthy group loot is in items and never in monetary loot. Make sure your group is looting fair! Turn on FFA so if people don?t want the loot you can grab it buy make sure that the looting stays fair. If you see people hogging the loot either leave the group or kick them out!

Make sure you loot everything! Most items stack so they don?t take up too much inventory space! So much loot is usually left on a corpse and people rarely take time to loot it! Those left over loots can add up, especially if it is wool or linen. You may think it isn?t worth something but as it adds up you can make a pretty penny on the items.

Make sure you set the guidelines for looting when the group starts. You can figure out who needs what and make sure they have a reason! If you see a warrior saying I need cloth armor you do have the right to ask why when you can wear Mail.

Quick Recap (not much on looting) Make sure the groups are fair, don?t be afraid to question someone?s antics and loot everything!

Part Four-Don?t waste on what you don?t need

What I mean by this is don?t waste your money on stuff you aren?t sure if your going to use! If you know you don?t use that spell/skill until you start needing it don?t train it. If you see an item and you?re not sure if you?re going to use it, guess what DON?T BUY IT! Just because it looks cool/hip/what ever, don?t buy it unless it can help you I rarely find myself admiring others matching clothing!

Part Five- Use the NPC vendors to your advantage

So you failed to sell it in the auction house and you?ve acquired all that loot I told you to grab (remember keep it fair)

Sell it to a vendor! Vendors are the rock bottom price you should sell anything for! If you need to quickly unload your inventory Vendors are perfect for this!

Make sure the item is repaired, You will not be able to sell a dead item to a vendor, but if the cost to repair is greater then selling price don?t bother just chuck it!

So really quick recap because selling to a vendor is pretty much self explanatory, sell what you can?t get rid of at auction house or what you don?t feel would be pointless in the auction house.


Part Six-General Wrap Up

Make use of your two skills wisely, make sure they complement each other. If you don?t think you?ll use it train in one of the two I mentioned earlier (Skinning and mining) they require almost no work!

Don?t be a packrat visit the Auction House! The auction house gets the item out to a huge player base at multiple times and saves you the hassle of spamming trade channel!

Make sure your group is using a fair loot system and everyone gets what they need and what people done need you grab!

Make use of in game vendors for items players don?t seem to want or bonded items you?ve outgrown.

Don?t waste money on petty objects that aren?t of use or skills that aren?t of use to you.
