Selling gold for World of Warcraft is big business anymore simply because of the number of players who are frustrated with not making enough gold.

It would cost around $400 on average to get 20,000 gold, which is about enough for one character to be fully maxed out, along with purchasing the epic flying and land mounts…

Traditional gold farming involves finding a place or two where you can earn some gold, such as a bandit hideout where you can kill bandits to earn some gold quickly. You then repeat the process over and over until you have enough gold, or get bored enough to move on.

In most cases, boredom comes WAY before sufficient gold to purchase all the upgrades and the Epic Mounts.

Secondly, gold farming is no fun. What’s the point in paying to own and play Warcraft, if instead of playing you are going to run around repeating the same thing over and over?

Anyway, there’s another kind of gold farming that DOES work in the long run - gold strategies. If you combine sufficient number of strategies in different areas of the game, you can easily begin building your character up quickly. Additionally, you won’t get bored doing this!

Gold strategies focus on 3 different points:

1. Increasing the yield from traditional gold farming.

2. Making farming more entertaining.

3. Helping the overall development of the character instead of just getting gold alone.

The next issue is finding the appropriate gold strategies for your character. What works for a rogue (see video), doesn’t work for a mage and so on.

The way out is simple - use a gold guide that covers all of the character classes and gold strategies available today, and keeps updating itself at regular intervals.

Here are some tips that can help you farm gold much faster!

Tip 1:
Reduce your downtime as much as possible. By reducing your downtime (time spent eating and drinking for example), you can easily increase your yield by 10-25 gold per hour.

Tip 2:
Link your spells together to fire them off quickly. With less time spent killing the opponents that provide gold (Stratholme for example), you can increase your yield by 10-20 gold.

Tip 3:
Before making suicidal raids for gold, remove all armor from the body. This reduces the gold you spend repairing the damaged equipment, thereby increasing your earning.

Tip4:
Focus on maximizing attack and quickly finishing off small enemies. There are enemies that take less than 20 seconds to finish off (less than 1000 health) if you focus on improving the attack. While these enemies don’t yield a ton of gold, following this strategy, you can earn 1 gold a minute or more without being bored. That’s 60 gold per hour!
