Tips for earning gold in World Of Warcraft

World of Warcraft gold breaks down into its smaller counterparts; silver and copper. 100 copper make 1 silver, and 100 silver make 1 gold.

In lower levels copper is sufficient, but as your progress you will need larger amounts of silver, and then gold, to buy items, repair gear, receive class training, and other actions similar to real life.

The best way to earn gold in World of Warcraft is through professions. Every character can train for First Aid, Cooking, and Fishing, but the fun comes at level 10 when you can train for two main professions as well.

First Aid will allow your character, or toon, to make bandages. As your skill progresses in the profession, your bandages will heal you for more damage than the previous. These bandages are lifesavers in many instances. Furthermore, if your toon has not yet leveled cooking up to coincide with your toon level, they can save a large amount of money that would be spent buying food to regain health.

Otherwise, turning cloth into bandages and selling them to vendors, or on the Auction House, will bring in some WoW currency. A little currency to start out with, but later a large amount with the better, heavier bandages. The cloth is picked up in drops from everyday quests and routines by looting your fallen enemy.

Cooking also works by using items (food) that you will lot from fallen enemies during everyday normal play and questing. As your cooking and toon level progress, you progress your cooking. If you do not need all the food you cook for health restoration, you can sell it to vendors. Higher level food sells well on the Auction House or to Raid Groups. Again, gold earned from normal, everyday, easy play.

Fishing is somewhat slow, and boring, but very beneficial. You can sell your catch to vendors, and later as your skill progresses and you catch better fish, you can sell on the Auction House. Furthermore, the fish you catch can often be used for cooking recipes. Hence, leveling your fishing and cooking quickly to get the better levels, better recipes, better fish, and more gold.

On to major professions. Your toon will get to choose two major professions beyond the previous three. All professions, skinning, tailoring, mining, jewelcrafting, herbalism, enchanting, alchemy, engineering, leatherworking, and blacksmithing are moneymakers. Each profession will work hand-in-hand with another profession as well.

Lets examine my Blood Elf Paladin's professions. She is a miner and a jewelcrafter. As a miner, I can prospect the
