Low Level Gold Farming, Yeah You Can Get Gold Before Level 20 =)

I have decided just for the sake of it, to show others that it is possible to earn gold at a low level. Not a whole lot of gold, but enough that you can at least by your first mount, by means of farming and using gathering professions.

So what I have done is started a character on a server I have never played on, and from there we will see how it goes. I have not looked into the auction house so I am not sure what the demand is for the professions I want to take. I know the
demand is there, because it is on all servers, some just greater then others.

From the picture below you will see that I have chose a human male, mage with 0 currency. As I quest he will be able to gather copper and silver, but once farming gets played into the role he will have gold.



I have a tip, I want to suggest to newbies. At level 20 we are able to learn our first ground mount. You will need gold for this. So you have 20 levels to work on that.

The tip is: Don't spend money repairing your armor or buying junk from the vendors in your questing zone unless you have to. As you quest your armor will be replaced, and there is no point in repairing unless you die a lot. I say this because when you start making gold you will need silver to put the auctions up. So until you have some gold don't splurge :)

One thing I did not realize is that you can learn professions at level 5 now, so as soon as you are out of your first questing spot you will be able to start making gold!

If you decide to do what I do to make gold then you will have to find a mining trainer and either a skinning or herbalist trainer (whichever you decide) there are guards around that can help you so if your unsure ask them. Personally as a tip I suggest choosing mining and skinning or skinning and herbalist. Mining and herb farming both require you to search to find the veins/plants, so it doesn't seem worth having 2 professions that need that. And skinning is great because you will have to kill animals all the time anyways.

Also keep in mind it will cost you some copper to learn your new professions. By level 5 you should have enough to learn your professions. I want to do a video posting my auctions but I guess if that doesn't happen then it will just be shared as a blog post. I got to level 8 I think, maybe 7 and have enough copper to start my first auction, but I am going to wait until tomorrow when I will make a video or post about it.

Anyways hope you all enjoy and stay tuned!
