Low-Level gold guide

[Volund]

I’m annoyed. No, I’m VERY annoyed. You could even say I’m miffed. Definitely on my way to peeved.

Let me explain.

I was reading some articles this morning about farming. Eh, I don’t only write them, but I read them as well. I can’t say that I’ve read them all, but I’ve read enough. Almost all of them recommend great farming spots, such as:

* Winterspring
* Eastern Plaguelands
* Anywhere in Outlands

Look, the first two are fantastic farming spots - think Ice Thistle Yetis - and we all know that in Outlands, the roads are paved with Gold.

But there’s something very WRONG. Come on, people. You have to be level 50+ for Winterspring, 55+ for Eastern Plaguelands, and level 58 just to enter Outlands, never mind actually killing anything.

If you’re a new player, or an experienced played on a new server - no rich sugar daddy - what are you going to do? Hope for Blue or Epic drops, from Hogger maybe? Vendor Linen Cloth? Try to be a ‘Master of the Universe’ on the Auction House and maybe lose your Red Linen Shirt? (That’s a reference to ‘Bonfire of the Vanities’ for you non-readers out there)

Fortunately, Renei is here with the solution to your low-level gold farming problems! Yes, Gold, not silver and coppers. If you follow this extremely simple recipe for success, I personally guarantee you 25g or more in 5 days, which you’ll agree is quite a bit for a low-level character with no backup (i.e., a friendly same-account level 70 who’s oozing WoW Gold from every orifice).

It won’t even take long.

Get out of the start area after getting your new character to level 6. That’s about the time they kick you out to Goldshire if you’re playing Alliance. Go to Stormwind, in the Dwark Quarter and pick mining. Buy a mining pick from the Mining Supplies vendor so conveniently located at the bottom of the stairs. Pick up any other skill you want while you’re there.

Then, go back to Goldshire and resume your adventures. By the time you are level 15, which won’t take very long since Blizzard redid the experience grids, you’ll be able to go anywhere in Elwynn forest, mining with impunity all the the while.

So you’re thinking, “Renei, is that your big GOLD SECRET!? That’s so lame, dude!” Yes, well, whatever. At level 15, in a one hour run through Elwynn Forest, you should be able to gather about 100 copper ore, turn it into 100 Copper Bars, and sell them for a minimum of 1g per stack at the Auction House. You can probably get more if you sell only on Weekends, which you should do anyways.

So you do this for 5 days, and you make yourself a minimum of 25g. That’s not even counting all the linen cloth you’ll be able to collect, the occasional green drops, the Shadowgems and Tiger’s Eye, even the Rough Stone, the money you’ll collect from all the mobs you kill (easily, since you’ll be level 15 - at least 3 levels above any mob in Elwynn), all the Chests you’ll loot… I could go on (and will, in another article). Remember: Everything that is not ‘Gray’ goes to the Auction House, never the Vendor!

In closing, remember that you only need to keep mining for a little while, as long as you feel like making easy low-level WoW Gold. At low levels it is very easy to switch to another profession and bring it up to the same level as your other skills without a huge time investment.
