Different Niches In The Economy Pt. 2

Hello Again,
This is the second part of my guide chain Different Niches in The Economy.

So you've read up on some general Gold making strategies, and its my fault but these guides are generally aimed at those who have one or more 70s and have some game experiance.

This part of my guide is going to be aimed at the lower levels 1-30, I will explain brilliant strategies that can be completed whilst questing away, grinding or doing whatever it is that you do!
Secondly this guide is only oriented at horde players, and im sorry for all you alliance but the farthest ive gone is a 20 warrior so i havn't done any what i like to call "field research".

As a final note MAKE ANOTHER LVL 1 TOON THAT YOU SHALL SEND YOUR ITEMS TO SO YOU CAN SAVE BANK SPACE.

Also this guide I base on my new warlock who is my main on this server
The contents of this next guide will entail:
How to get 50G under level 15 without leaving durotar,
"Is it possible?"
Farming the cloth that makes you RICH(including the where and how),
"Lawl lowbie cloth aint worth nuttin"
Looking out for certain lowbie recipies that are worth there weight in gold!,
"As if"
Which mobs yeild many greens and good vendour trash,
"ORLY"
HowTailoring can yeild several gold under skill lvl 150!
"WHAT!??!!"

This is What I Did.

Leveling up in Valley of Trials and around Senjin Village.
Once I was done and around the right level to move up to the Razor Hill quest hub, once in Razor hill take up mining. Now unless your a hunter and its completely necessary don't turn of Track Minerals. At this point I also decided to pick up tailoring but you can take anything else (skinning or herbalism is a better choice for a good cash flow). (Later I will explain how to make money with other professions apart from tailoring at this lower level).

Now the first strategy comes into play, with you mining on do circuits of Durotar once around the outside of the Valley of Trials area , there is a large valley like place a little NW of Senjin, Do a lap or two of the ouside of this area, killing everything as you go, skinning/herbing/looting.
If you get bored of this and your bags are only full of consumables that you absolutley need or ore/leather/herbs go send everything you have to your bank alt, perhaps selling a stack or two of your materials and any good greys you might have acquired.

Try to acquire as much silver as possible and buy a bag. Also there is a questgiver a little NW of Razor Hill (RH) gives a 6 slot bag for completing an easy quest in which you have to kill humainoids for cloth craps.

If your 13-14 the next circuit for copper you should do would be around the large gulley where the thunder lizards and a minority of Burning Blade cultists roam. Basically run laps around the top of the gulleys and if you see an outcroping of rocks go investigate (it may yeild more copper). All the while killing things and skinning/herbing.

Once your bag/s are full head back to RH yet again save any of the lesser materials for vendour selling and mail all your ore/herbs (and if you have alot of leather) to your bank alt.

Now if you want you can continue these circuits going from one to the other and the copper will respawn as you leave one area an begin mining in another. Spend say 2 hours of this, you will have 50+ G of copper ore/bars.

IMPORTANT!-->One other thing I will mention is that bagpace=more ore. This means more money and the bags will pay for themselves 10 fold if the long run. Also check the Auction House (Now AH) for the median prices on ore and always either keep you price 1-2 silver below the median price, or price gouge if no one else is around to compete with you. But by price gouge I mean increase the median price by almost 40-70 silver, gouge to much and no-one will buy your wares. Also this should be done with all herbs and leather although they will sell for considerably less than copper.

Now onto Farming the cloth that will make you RICH

Wool cloth.
On the servers i have played on these go for 2.5G plus a stack, which is usually more than copper ore/bars.
I would suggest you are lvl 18-20 and know how to grind effectively. Free up all your bag space, apart from the necessary water or food.

For the people who are living in the Barrens in their late teens head to Bael Modan in Southern Barrens.
Only loot greens/blues and wool cloth discard any linen or greys ( or don't if you only plan to spend 30-50 mins there).

When I was doing this I spent around 1.1 hours there and dinged twice 20-21 had about 30 greens a blue and about 11 stacks of Wool Cloth. The Wool Cloth alone yeilded 30g give or take 5 silver, all my Wool was sold on BO of 2.99G on the AH. And only 23 of the 30 greens sold ( I was careful to only loot the greens with sought after stats on the right weapons/armour for instance no one wants a mail chestpeice of spirit) Because I only sold the greens for a maximum of 80 silver each they only yeailded around 10G total. Because I'm a Warlock I found that the blue that dropped was probably the only blue i could want at that level, a nice wand Skycaller. I checked ah and somone already had one up for 44G , so i decided instead of undercutting i would use the item, which i must say even 10 levels above the level requirement its dps is still superior.

The only other good place I've found personally is at Durholde keep , which is near Tarren Mill.
I did a similar run but it only yeilded about 7 stacks of wool cloth and several greens (I was there about 40 mins). Although sigificantly less its closer to a town and a graveyard, so i guess the downtime of running back and forth to send to a bank alt is lessened significantly. In total the amount of gold collected at the end was approx. 18G and I leveled to 23 through the grinding.

I have only given two examples as I havn't found any other places that best the wool drops but if you have found one please post a forum subject so I can read it and perhaps add it to my guide. So at level 23 i was sitting on 74.71 Gold.

The Recipies
Savourey Deviate Delight.
Elixier of Giant Growth

This part I found is based on luck and may or may not apply to you so don't go out of your way to grind this.

This is quite sought after by alchemists because its very popular with the WoW community. Transforming them into Ninja's or Pirate's the funny consumble i worth 2-3 g a pop so the recipie is worth something itself obviously.

When editing this guide i also thought it would be approprate to add that another recipie of WORTH dropped whilst i was leveling and grinding cash. The recipie for the elixier of giant growth. This sold for almost 40G BO which was considerable because it was thinking of vendouring it .

Although I may have been insanely lucky this recipie dropped twice for me druing my time in the Barrens. Now depending on what the AH says these can go for 20G or 3 G but either way its all cash so try to get the most out of it. Both of mine sold for 13G which was the minimum bid i put up. That 26 right there, putting my Warlock up to 91G after buying new skills and such.

Mobs that drop LOTS of Greens.

The Turtles SE of The Crossroads dropped many,many greens for me the average drop rate was 1 every 9-15 kills. This is a favoured spot because ore nodes spawn quickly in the pool of water.

The other place which is great to make a quick few G is the Centaurs NW,SW and SE of the Crossroads. They drop cloth,greens and worthy greys. Also ore nodes spawn around these general areas which is a boon to the gold making. Also they can drop the Kolkar booty key, which lets you open a certain chest which has a very high chance of containing a green of some sort.

Finally, how to make money with the tradeskill Tailoring.

At these lower levels the greens that can be made via tailoring are pretty terrible and not worth the materials, however the one thing that is worth the cash is Woolen Bags, learnt at level 90 Tailoring these bags are worth almost double there mat cost. But this is quite circumstancial because bgs need to be in demand, people need to have a want and if you just AH these without doing a little background checking your more than likely to get screwed over.

To Be Continued

Endnote.
As I read over this it seems that its not very helpful, and I had to rush it because I can't see much time in the future to do it again. Regardless please comment on this or send me and email at
or post a forum topic so other people and I can discuss your ideas and points of veiw. Please rate this and I'm sorry but I havn't had time to edit the spelling and grammar, and there is much more to add.

Conclusion: As you can see if you just follow how the game prompts you to go, you can still make considerable money at lower levels you just need the know how, which i hope i have provided somwhat. But remember to pick up if anything mining. It is the way i see the only way to make large amounts of money.

That's all for now.
