Noob Guide to Making Gold

Posted by Markco at 8:00 AM

I think it's time for a noob guide to the world of warcraft auction house and making gold in general. Just my two copper is a great resource for noobs, but the problem is finding the right information! There's so many posts, so many user comments, videos, and now the forums that a noob could easily become overwhelmed or even frustrated.

Now, understand that being a noob is not a negative thing. We all started from somewhere right? Just look at me: 20+ days to level my first character (my warrior) to 60! If you had told me then that I was going to turn around and write a blog, gold guide, youtube channel, forum, and twitter I would of laughed my way to Sillithus for a guild run of AQ.

Here is my list of must reads on the site which focus on Auction Housing:

22 Steps
Bidding
Bid Low, Sell Normal
The 80/20 Rule
Banking Space
Auction House Viper

Here are the most popular farming spot videos:

Seething Revenants
Scions of Storm
Icebound Revenants
Gorillas

There, I just gave you more information than most gold guides. Go forth and cease to be a noob!
If you are still stuck, take your questions to the forums "OMG I can't make gold" section. Perhaps you'd like to try my (shameless self promotion incoming!) 20kleveling gold guide?

For the comments: Are there any posts I missed that you would recommend to a noob? (Besides all of them hehe).

Think you meant a Newb Guide....

A Newbie can be taught, a Noobie is unteachable

Problem is most noobs dont want to listen to advice.

Before I started I did a lot of research and realized that msot sites said the same thing.

Dont buy gear till 40 etc etc.
I followed it and just look at where I am now.

Whilst my toon is not as rich as yours, I have still consistently made money and reached my goals.
People should just read a bit more.

Great links btw.

Anonymous is gunning for your job, Markco. It's pretty obvious.
