I’m pretty sure you know how risky it is to buy gold from online sellers. That is against Blizzard rules and if your transfer is intercepted you can get banned. Also, many gold sellers have a keylogger on their sites and there is a high chance that your account will be hacked if you enter one of those sites. So if WoW gold becomes a problem, the best alternative is a guide to making WotLK gold.

Now, I don’t have the time to write a complete WotLK gold crafting guide here, but I can surely reveal some good gold making tips. So here are 7 tips for making gold in WotLK zones.

1. If you are going to farm humanoid mobs, choose the ones that drop Relics of Ulduar. Even if this reputation can now be leveled through Emblems of Triumph, these reputation items are still in high demand.

2. If you have skinning, always choose a place where you can get more than just Boreal Leather and Arctic Fur. For example, all Proto-Drakes drop Icy Dragon Scales and Mammoths drop Chunk o’Mammoth which is used for cooking. Extra valuable items will bring you extra money.

3. If you are gathering, choose an area with high accessibility, like Wintergrasp, for example. You don’t even need a flying mount to gather herbs or minerals here. Of course, without one, the competition will always be ahead of you, and you won’t be as effective as a gatherer without an epic flying mount.

4. Engineers can now salvage reusable parts from mechanical mobs in the game. So basically engineering can now be used for skinning, you just have to choose a camp with golems or robots. They drop many valuable pieces of engineering, such as cobalt bolts, overcharged capacitors, etc.

5. The fifth tip I’m going to reveal in this short WotLK gold crafting guide is synonymous with fishing. Every zone in WoW had a required fishing skill, but since it was removed, everyone can make good gold by fishing in the waters of Northrend with no more than 1 fishing skill level. However, to avoid catching trash, you should cast your lures into schools of fish.

6. Frost Lotus is a valuable flower that can drop from any herb node in Northrend. However, in Wintergrasp, Frost Lotus can be found separately. So if you are an herbalist looking for this herb, Wintergrasp is the area to choose. Of course, make sure you have 450 in herbalism.

7. The last tip I will share in this short WotLK gold crafting guide concerns daily quests. There are quite a few such quests in Northrend and if you manage to create a certain route by solving a lot of dailies in the shortest possible time, this can be a great way to earn gold.

I hope these tips have helped. If not though, I can only recommend you a complete WotLK gold crafting guide.
