How To Make Gold in WoW

The introduction of Mists of Pandaria brings us Panda toons and class combinations to play with.   As with any expansion, this also include in the shiny new package are new mounts,  new clothes,   new hairdos and all sorts of added items for our gold gluttony.   With gold goblin senses on high,  new opportunities will appear right in front of us.

But also new traps arrive in the package.  The Pandarian race will be isolated from the rest of the Horde and Alliance til they make their choice on which side of the upcoming war to choose.  This becomes very important because it will also isolate them from areas that gold goblins will take for granted.   A strong viable sales area are the weapons from 10-20.  These have long been a staple for players wanting to get their new shiny toons leveled faster through the opening zones.

But with the limitation of access to this area comes the pitfall of investing now in weapons and armor specifically directed towards these toons.   Many players while leveling their Pandas will have to be satisified with what they gain through random drops and quest rewards.  This stifles the access to sell to these new players for profit.

Now this doesn't eliinate the access to other players races,  All of them have quick access to AH and mailboxes to procure items.   Plus the possibility of access to Pandarian plunder will still be viable.  But as with any new race,  the stats will be more than comparable with items from the Auction House.  So their purchasing may become limited except for the occasional vanity item or ultimate power leveler.

So keep this in mind as you start to invest in mid 10-20 armor and weapons,  your sales will end up being more directed to players from other races,  and pandarians might end up being the cheapskates of Azeroth and beyond.

The onslaught has begun when it comes to inventory.  With the announcement of Mists of Pandaria released in September,  players are emptying all their reserves into the market.   They do not want to get caught with their proverbial gold pants down.

This is where your training and experience will come into play.   As markets start to become less viable,  there will still be demand for some items.   Raw materials will still have some market acceptance as players finish off their crafting queues to reach their maximum level.  Inventory dumped in one area can easily become saleable items now,  or later down the road.

My personal favorite is the Jewelcrafting area.   Players are dumping their extra gems that were produced with the Elementium shuffle.   Leaving inventory at low costs and driving down prices.

But remember,  you have an army of new players that will need leveling gems.  They will also want to use gems for turn ins for their Jewelcrafting dailies.   Plus those gems are easily converted into materials that will still sell if you have access to an enchanter.  Even the lowly Zephyrite will be useful for turn ins as Mists of Pandaria begins to mature on the servers.  So instead of just vendoring everything or selling at a steep discount.  Look to see what can be converted or the chance later on in the market.

Volatiles will still be needed as MOP continues on.  Players will want to level their professions,  and make an occasional item.   So investing in Volatile fire for 2g a piece could easily double your investment down the road.    Gold Goblins never turn down a chance for profit.

Also look for guild banks to come up for sale.  Players deciding not to return to the game after their wowcations.    Raiding guilds no longer viable,  jumping on a quick buy of a guild can give you a large amount of items to profit from.

Where markets are slow to buy,  there is a trickle down for large items that can continue on through the expansions.  Mounts,  pets and vanity items become big sellers as players sort out space in their banks,  and look to entertain themselves.

Keep your goblin eyes open,  and be on top of the markets.
