Low Level Gold Farming, Videos Of My Auctions

Yesterday I posted about a new character I had made on a server with no other toons or any gold. Just to show people how they can get gold to buy their first ground mount. I uploaded 2 videos to youtube. The first video shows my toon in Stormwind putting up his first auction and my second video was me just checking my auctions and putting up some more.

You can see both videos below:






So as you can see my character doesn't have a gold yet, but he is level 10 and on his way to his first gold =)

Stay tuned because there will be more to come about this toon, his leveling and gold and first mount.

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!

Mining In Arathi Highlands - Results

My auctions finally are complete for my little mining experiment. From my hour of flying around and mining in Arathi Highlands I made $214 Gold. The only thing that didn't sell was 2 of my stacks of Iron Bars. For an hour in a low level zone that is not to bad.

Keep in mind this experiment was done on a character with epic flying, don't let this discourage you from mining in this zone. It still is favorable, especially if you are questing there anyways.

Of course results with vary per player and how over run the zone is with other miners. If there is lots of competition then I stay away and do it another day.

Also keep in mind that depending how fast you can travel around the zone this will also depend on how much you make. An epic flyer is faster then a ground mount.

Anyways more post to come, stay tuned!

Happy Farming =)

Mining In Arathi Highlands

Arathi Highlands use to be a favorite lowbie mining spot to mine and I wanted to see if it still was. I was impressed with the spawn time for mines, up until my last flight around (hardly anything spawned). I also killed 3 lowbie rares and went into caves 6 times or so. I also got 2 blues. One dropped and one was in a Silverbound chest.

Before I get into what I got in total and what not, I will post about the rares for anyone interested.

The first rare I came across was in the cave in Drywhisker Gorge. His name is, Geomancer Flintdigger, you can visit Wowhead to learn more about this rare,
Gromancer Flintdigger



The second rare was Zalas Witherbark, you can find him in a cave in Witherbark Village. You can learn more about him here,
Zalas Witherbark



And the final rare was Nimar the Slayer, this rare is also in Withbark Village. He is on the outside by some trolls dancing, you can find him at a table. Learn more about him here,Nimar the Slayer



These rares were not all that great, but I suggest reading up on them on WoWhead from other players, that way you can see if they are worth killing or not.

Alright so first I will share the non mining stuff I collected. Now during the hour I was in Arathi I only wanted to mine, but when I saw rares I killed them and killed a few other NPCs because they were attacking/in the way. Anyways I got a few pieces of cloth, since this toon doesn't have cloth I will be sending the cloth to my mage and she will sell it, since she has a lot of cloth. I got 7 greens in total and 2 blues. The blues I got were, Ranger Bow and Lil Timmy's Peashooter. The bow dropped off a random troll in Witherbark Village and the Peakshooter was in a chest.

Now for the mining items.

~ 1 Shadowgem
~ 1 Lesser Moonstone
~ 4 Jade
~ 2 Aquamarine
~ 27 Silver
~ 27 Mithril
~ 30 Tin
~ 8 Gold
~ 93 Iron
~ 28 Coarse Stone
~ 107 Heavy Stone
~ 47 Solid Stone

Today was a good day to choose lowbie mines. I just put up a lot of the items on the AH. The greens will be going to my mage for disenchanting, and the mining stuff that is not equal to making a stack will be saved for another time. Once the auctions are completed I will make a new post about the results. I timed it and kept track of anything of importance. So we shall see how much I make from the hour of farming. My auctions are up for 48 hours, so we shall see what happens. Once everything sells (or is returned) in the 48 hours I will make a new post about it!

Happy Farming =)

Panther Cub Quest

To start the quest chain for the Panther Cub in STV you need to first visit Bwemba, she can be found at the Stormwind Harbor. View picture below,


You can pickup 2 quest from Bwemba. The quest for the Panther Cub chain starts at "To Fort Livingston" Go to STV and once there you just need to fly to Fort Livingston and speak to Livingston Marshal.

The quest chain goes as follows:
1) To Fort Livingston
2) Serpents And Poison
3) Nesingwary Will Know
4) Track The Tracker
5) The Hunter's Revenge
6) Follow That Cat
7) Mauti
8) How's The Hunter Holding Up?
9) Bury Me With Me Boots...
10) Some Good Will Come

After you bury Grent Direhammer, a quest pops up from the Panther Cub in the cave, this quest gives you the cub. Easy as that.



All of these are easy and a level 85 should have no problem completing them all in maybe an hour at most, I think the quest probably wouldn't take that long though. I was going to list how to do each quest but they are so easy that you really shouldn't need a walk through. However, if anyone is having issues with the quest I am going to link all the quest from Wowhead. Enjoy! :)

To Fort Livingston
Serpents And Poison
Nesingwary Will Know
Track The Tracker
The Hunter's Revenge
Follow That Cat
Mauti
How's The Hunter Holding Up?
Bury Me With Me Boots...
Some Good Will Come
