Beginner Guide To The World of Warcraft Auction House
July 29, 2008
Being ‘out of gold’ is pretty common among new WoW players. I was in your shoes once, not able to buy the items that I want.
Three years later, I still see many new players struggling to make much WoW gold. I want to share a few tips that will help you guys get started.
From my first time visiting a major city, I drooled over the items on Auction House. I could tell from that moment that gold could be made from it. The idea is simple, everyone knows you buy low and sell high.
There was one predicament though, I gambled on the items that I purchased. I never knew if a profit could be made from any of the items that I bought. Surprisingly, I was still making a profit.
I made a level 1 character; I ran her to the nearest Major city and just sat her in the Auction House. I would logon to this alt 2-3 times a day to buy/sell in the Auction House.
The gold in my stash increased as time went by and as I become familiarize myself with the Auction House. My alt started with a measly 50 silvers, by the time my main reached level 40, I was able to purchase my normal mount right away and still have 30-40 gold left.
To avoid high deposit fees, I avoided purchasing armor and weapons on the Auction House.
Shards and Dusts were my ideal target because they are in high demand and they require NO deposit fees.
Later, I found out about addons like Auctioneer which actually sorts out the items that are potentially profitable. Aside from the occasional UI glitch, this addon was a total lifesaver.
Costly mistakes were made during those times, I remember purchasing items that became obsolete right before the Burning Crusade, I lost some gold there but at the end of the day, the gold that I made far outweighs any loses.
You become stronger through the these mistakes right?
