Thanks :) It took me a while to figure out what the AH did, but now I love being able to make quick money for my lowbies.

This is really well targeted to the new player. I wish I’d read this when I started, I made pretty much every mistake you could make before figuring out how the economy works.

Well done!

Echo, 1000g in an hour? Wow. Anyway, I kept these simple – if a lowbie *knows* what the AH is, that’s already progress. Maybe I should mention Darkmoon Faire though… that’s how I funded my first off-server alt.

Reversion, duhh, how could I forget checking the price of quest rewards. Thanks for reminding me!

Depending on server the best way I know to not be poor while leveling up is to take gather professions (mining,sliming, or herbalism). Then you simply do as much mining, picking, etc as you can and auction EVERY thing you gather. Do not do and profession that uses up the materials. Only sell them on the AH. Also, when the quest gives rewards you have no use for, check which of them will sell for the most (hover your mouse over it) before you turn in the quest.

I’d advise playing the auction house. It takes a bit of practise, but once you get going and get good at it, it’s the easiest way to make money.

Theres a pretty good video outh there of someone who rolled a level 1 alt on a new server then got it 1000g in an hour of play time. Literally by selling crap, then using a small stake to buy low and sell high.

MMO champion had a good post on ways to make gold a while back.
