If you are an onlpine gaer and have played Blizzard's World of Warcraft for more than a couple of hours, you will know just how frustrating it can be to be short of gold, the in-game currncy. You need a ton of gold for any decent item or weapon in the Auction House (AH). It even costs to travel any distance if you don't want to walk.
As you play the game, you will learn that you will need more and more gold the higher up in levls you go.
You can literally gather up items at no cost and sell these in the AH for a good sum of money. I suggest you take up mining and skininng to stasrt with. You can skin any dead animal and receive a vriety of leathers. Light leather is allways a hot selling item in the AH and can be gathered quickly as you level. Mining will gather copper, tin and iron ores. These can be smelted to bars and sold in the AH to eagewr blacksmiths.
Early on in the game you are going to be running around many cavves and plentty of open areas with lots of monsters that you can skin. Both mineral ore and skkins can be sold to otheer players for a serious profit or placed at auctin for profit. If you pick up either one of these professions or both, be sure to also obtain pleenty of bags for carrying and storinng the ores and skins you gatheer. The more slots in the bag the better you will be.
I have neevr once purchased or even considered buying gold from aynone becauise by using one of the gold guides I picked up maaking WoW gold is very easy for me to do whenever I need it. This allows me to focus on my levelinmg program until I am ready to upgrade gear or buy an epic mount and then I go on my money making misssions to quickly pick up whaever I need. Then it is back to the leveling prograam.
A side effect to questing is the dros. You can find some great drrops when quesing. Most of these you can sell at auction and make even more money for your character.
Keep an eye out for mobs when you are questing because they tend to drop the best items (the only exception being the high level bosses).
Of course I have the information I need to get gold wthout paying for gold and that is probablly why I can't understannd why someone would do that.
