Dailies: With the introduction of daily quests in patch 2.1 of the Burning Crusade,
players were able to do repeatable quests for a fixed amount of gold each day. These
quests have been expanded upon tremendously in Wrath of the Lich King. With a plethora
of 'dailies' around the entire continent, players should have no trouble completing
the maximum allowed 25 daily quests each day. At level 80, the average compensation
for a daily quest is 13 gold; that's 325 gold a day if you complete 25 quests a
day. These quests range from extremely easy and quick to moderately difficult and
time consuming. Knocking out 25 dailies in 2 hrs is not at all out of the realm
of possibility.
Professions: Making wow gold from your professions
used to be the easiest way to make money prior to the introduction of daily quests,
and for some, it still is the easiest. The challenge in this method lies in the
difficulty of maximizing your profession skill and learning the rare recipes/plans
so you can make big-selling items. The most common and easiest professions to make
money in are Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting. If you mine the minerals yourself,
you can make a boatload from blacksmithing, as most of the recipes that will bring
you in gold are available from your trainer. You can make a lot by selling titansteed
weapons. This takes time though as finding titanium and smelting it into titansteed
takes a while. Jewelcrfting can be a good choice. While you will have to make an
initial investment to buy the recipes, the trick with this is to buy saronite ore
form the Auction House and prospect it to get blue uncut gems and turn them into
cut gems.
Grinding: This isn't for the faint of heart. Grinding, or farming, is killing regular
mobs over and over again, looting what they drop and selling it on either the auction
house or to a vendor. Unless you're lucky enough to get an epic item from killing
a mob, this method will take a long time. But if you find it peaceful to go into
a killing machine mode, this may be the best method for you.
Raiding: If you are in a legit raiding guild and you have most laces on farm status
then you are going to make money. If you are just beginning as a raiding guild,
however you are going to lose money. So this is completely dependent on if you are
in a raiding guild and how easy you are clearing places.
Your best bet is to go with dailies. Professions can be hit or miss, depending on
how much things sell for on your server, how easy/hard it is to find the reagents
needed to make your items, and competition. Grinding will almost always take quite
a long time to successfully save quite some from, and raiding can either be a huge
success or a disaster in terms of bringing in gold. With dailies, you always know
you can get a certain amount, and that amount is dependent only on you and how many
quests you want to complete.
