As a new player, you can start farming some gold by collecting just any items from the game. Things from mining, skinning, fishing, cooking mats to cloth can all be sold for quite some gold in the Auction House.
Below are some tips for you to start making some gold.
1. Spend around 30 minutes each day to collect mats. This may sound dull, but you can accumulate lots of mats in the long run which can be sold for quite some gold at the Auction house. At the moment, there is a big supply of Northend mats, but you can gather mats from Outland or even in Pre B.C. to avoid this big competition.
2. To make your effort more efficient, identify those items with low competition in the Auction House first, and only target those objects.
3. Do you know which items are easy to get and easy to sell? Just to give you an idea – the deviate fish in the Barrens can sell for about 15 gold per stack, and they are not that hard to fish. You should have no problem netting 2 stacks of them in just 30 minutes.
4. Remember, price fluctuation for a particular item is only normal and never get panic when you find the price of an item you have on hand drop. What you can do is just to wait for a few days, and chances are the price will go up again.
5. Sites like Thott or Wowhead are also helpful resources, as they will provide you with ideas of how much an item usually sells in the Auction House. Keep those information in your mind will help you avoid underpricing your items, and you may even spot an under-priced item and do an arbitrage immediately.
