Introduction:

I have been a member of Twistgaming for a only a little while and I decided to contribute a little back rather than one or two posts to a thread. With this guide I will try and assist you with making and maintaining the gold that you have already earnt.

Please note: Most 'advanced' WoW Players would find these tips as common sense however I'm trying to benefit other players who are new to the game or are struggling to earn gold.
Constructive criticism is permitted however I do not like flaming.

Tip #1: Everything Adds up!

if you see a cheap buy take it! Even if it's only one or two gold profit it all adds up! A great way of making money for me is through Netherweave Bags.
I purchase my Netherweave Cloth stacks through Trade Chat for around 4g and resell them at 9g. Sure it's only 5g profit but I post up to 40 each day, go to sleep wake up and theres 200g in my mail. Sure, it's not much but everything adds up!

Tip #2: Bank Alts

No matter what level you are, you will always find it difficult to store your valuable items in your bank even if you have purchased all the bag slots within your bank and stacked them up with high volume bags. This is why it is ideal to create a bank character.
Reasons to create a Bank Character:
•Easy to store everything on Bank character especially if you are able to purchase Guild tabs for yourself.
•Mail items while your main is farming them away from a major city and post them on the Auction House straight away, log back into your main and repeat!
•It is recommended you download the add-on Auctioneer, especially if you want to do your trading through the auction house on your bank.

Tip #3: Use helpful Websites!

I have many friends who don't even know what http://justmytwocopper.blogspot.com is.
I'm sure some of you know of this site however some of you may not. It is basically a blog which demonstrates some useful ways to make some gold in World of Warcraft. I believe the quality of his posts has dropped over the last year however it's still a good resource!

Another great resource site is http://www.tarouwowguides.com/.
On the website you will find video guides showing you how to make gold with professions as well as basic auction house tutorials. I highly recommend any beginner WoW player, or even advanced to take a look!

Tip #4: Prepare for Expansions, Patches and Inflations

Do you guys remember when The Burning Crusade was released and everyone was farming Ore and there was none left for you? Well what did we do? We went to the Auction House and purchased it, didn't even care for the price.

The same happened when Wrath of the Lich King was released, in the first week Saronite Ore was selling for 600g + (believe me it was!) In the second week it was down to around 350g. Inflations are a common factor of World of Warcraft and there is not much that we can do about it.

The same will happen with Cataclysm and you WILL need to prepare for it. Before levelling other characters I strongly suggest you invest your gold in items which will definitely be needed. Heres a quick list to give you some idea of what I mean:
•Netherweave Bags (Tailoring)
•Essence of Air (Enchanting)
•Essence of Fire (Enchanting)
•Small Radiant Shards (Enchanting)
•Runecloth (For people who want to earn rep to get the Goblin/Worgen mount much quicker)

Another great example with price changes in the market was the recent release of Warden 2.0 (Blizzards Anti-Hacking etc Software). The difference of this was that it affected EVERY World of Warcraft server (some more than others). Basically, this made botting impossible (for a short period) and you probably would have noticed the sudden jump in items which are commonly bought such as Eternal Fires.

Conclusion
That is it guys! It took me quite some time to write this, so once again please keep the flaming to a minimum (preferably none) Smile

. If there are any grammatical errors please tell me and I will fix them up. Smile

Enjoy and Good Luck!
