their items or wait for a day or two when the market is better to sell them. It is best to buy on weekdays and sell on weekends when more people are playing. Keep in mind when you do this you are going to lose some money to the AH fees as well as the listing fee. As such, one of the absolute best things to buy and relist is enchanting supplies because there is NO FEE to list them. You can buy them cheap and relist them until they sell without it costing you a thing. My favorites are large radiant shards and small brilliant shards; also illusion dust has done well for me. All are in high demand but fairly low supply so they’ll move fast. Over time you’ll learn what is a good price for these and you can buy accordingly. There are a lot of strategies here that will get more into the specifics of what items will bring you the most cash. As above, I always recommend enchanting supplies as a great place to start because there is no AH penalty for listing them.

If an engineer wants the schematic for Flash bombs there are only two ways that he can get it. The first is a very drop of the schematic from Gnomeragen (it's about a .02% chance). The second is as a guaranteed quest reward from the “Pearl Diving” quest in the Badlands. The quest comes from Rigglefuzz who asks you to get 9 blue pearls for him from the Vile Reef. After delivering them you will get a schematic for the Flash Bomb.

This reward is not soulbound and will sell for anywhere between 15-30g. We always walk into the Badlands and offer to buy these off those doing the quest there. We also check the AH for them regularly because most people don't know how valuable they are and sell them for a gold or less! We just buy it and relist for the appropriate price.

And while you are looking for blue pearls for the above quest it doesn't hurt to grab a few extra. They are needed for the Flash Bomb recipe and sell quite well on the AH.

My best advice to someone wanting to make money is to not pick up a tradeskill until lvl 45 or higher when you can find or buy all that you need and then just powerlevel it up in an evening or two.

Choose herb gathering or mining as your two processions and SELL everything you gather on the AH. You’ll have so much gold so soonyou won’t have to worry where that mount money is going to come from.

The only hassle you’ll have is that “find herbs” and “find minerals” can’t be used together. I suggest the best mod in the world for this- Gatherer. It can be found here: http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=277 Skinning is also a good choice and won’t affect your minimap displaying herbs or minerals either. Skinning is also excellent for money IF you are a high DPS/quick kill class that will allow you to farm a lot of mobs quickly. Otherwise there is too much downtime for it to be really profitable. I prefer skinning in the Eastern Plaguelands because you get rugged leather as a drop 90% of the time

from skinning the bats and hounds there. Another great place for skinning is Jaguero island that is hidden south of Booty Bay. There is usually no one else there and the stealthed panthers are everywhere.

People need quest items.Fortunately for you some of these items are farmable or craftable. You can make quite a nice chunk of gold by loading up on items needed for quests and standing around a questgiver at a busy time (like a Friday night). For example, there is a quest in

Eastern Plagues needing high explosive bombs and unstable triggers, there’s a quest in Badlands needing Frost Oil and there is a quest in Un’goro needing a mithril casing. All of these things are easy enough to craft or get from a craftsman or guildy then it’s just a matter of advertising your wares in general chat to those that need them.

Always sell class specific items in the correct AH. For example, “of the Elements” things are for Shaman. You won’t have much luck selling them in the Ironforge AH. Sell them in Gadget/BB. The same thing goes for Lightforge stuff. It’s for Paladins, so Horde sell them in Gadgetzan if you want them to sell.

Silithus has changed so much since I first created this guide. The entire continent has been updated and revamped for the AQ expansion.

The good news is that the farming has gotten even better than before. Now you can farm essences off the elementals that hover around the area but there are also the new Twilight Cultist areas.

The Twilight Cultists drop their set pieces needed to summon the larger elementals. These consist of the Cultist Cowls, Mantles, and Robes. These all drop fairly often off of the mobs there and sell for anywhere from 50s-4g a piece. These mobs also drop nice coin and cloth.

You can also complete the first parts of these quests to receive an Abyssal Crest. These crests sell for an average of 5g at the AH because they can be used to summon elite elementals.

If you spend an hour or two in this area of Silithus farming the Twilight mobs you will pleasantly surprise how much gold you can make.

Always, always, always keep an eye out for people selling set pieces (Valor, Wildheart, etc.) in the trade channel or on the AH. These are consistently the best sellers because everyone wants to complete their class set. If you are in a pick up group and there is a piece that no one needs then make sure and get a roll in for it if it is BoE. You can certainly sell it for a hefty sum. The trade channel is your friend here. Bargain with sellers to get these pieces and the resell them for quick gold.

Items that have been removed from the game or “nerfed” are a potential for MASSIVE gold. If there is an item that has had its stats lowered or otherwise negatively changed, but Blizzard does not change those already in existence then those old items are going to be even more rare than an epic item.

It is good to become knowledgeable as to what items disenchant into valuable enchanting materials. For example, Icy Cloaks and Green Lenses always disenchant into valuable enchanting materials. In the case of Green Lenses they will always result in a large radiant shard when disenchanted. So, head to your local AH and check the price of green lenses and large radiant shards. If the shards are selling for more than the lenses then buy the lenses and disenchant them and sell the shards for a profit. If enchanting is not one of your professions then start a lvl 1 alternate character that is a gnome or dwarf and run him/her to Ironforge or an orc or troll and run them to Org and learn enchanting. From this point on this character can be your “mule” to disenchant items.

Many of the new recipes available in the game such as the new cloak recipes like the Cloak of Warding and Shifting Cloak require guardian stones. Now, keep in mind that both of these cloaks require other materials that sell for large amounts of gold. Players are investing a lot to make these crafted items.

Guardian stones drop one place and one place only in the world and that is off of the Stone Guardians in Un’goro Crater. These giants are level 60 and 61 elite so they certainly seem intimidating. The truth is though that many classes can easily solo them and take them down. I’ve found that they drop Guardian stones about 1 out of every 3 or 4 kills. The Guardian Stones sell on the auction house for anywhere from 7-20g each.

While your down in that crater you might as well bring a skinning knife with you because you are going to see lots of Devilsaurs. These giants can be soloed by some classes like hunters or druids but almost 2 of any class can take them down. They never seem to drop much but their leather is used to make really nice leather pants and gloves and you can sell a piece for around 2-8g depending on the market. So head into that crater and farm these guys while you are killing Stone Guardians. Oh, avoid the 60 elite King Mosh though. He can wipe a party easily.
