A Tip for Low Level Gold Making

I have had a lot of characters, both Horde and Alliance, and I know what a bummer it is not having much gold at lower levels. If you want to succeed in the BG or get your quests done sooner and easier, it is always better to have weapons and gear that are above average....that is, better than what you get for quest rewards or drops.

There are a few ways to get better gear:

Buy it in the Trade Channel
Buy it in the Auction House

You notice that the key word in both choices is BUY. This requires gold ! Many people are under the illusion that you cannot make gold unless you have a higher level character. I am here to tell you that is not true. When I discovered the AH, after 3 months of playing the game with characters that were always broke, I was astounded at how easy it is to make money. Today I plan to tell you one way I found to make money starting at level 5 !!

There is an NPC's in almost all the starting towns that sell little low level cooking recipes. For example, in Razor Hill, there is an NPC on the side of the inn that sells a recipe for Scorpid Surprise for 2 silver, 20 copper. The NPC in Goldshire sells a recipe for Longjaw Mud Snapper, he is by the wagon. All you have to do is to buy two or three of these recipes and resell them in the Auction House ! You buy the recipe for 2.20 gold and sell for a bid of 95 silver and a buy out of 1 gold 29 silver. You may want to check and see if anyone else is selling them, and if they are, make sure to price yours a few silver lower.

Now I know you are saying.....WHY would anyone buy them for that amount, if they can get them for 2.20 silver ? Well, I don't really know....but they do, trust me. I been selling these recipes for years and they almost always sell the first time you put them in. What I normally do is to buy a dozen and put them in my bank, so I can just pick them up and drop them in the AH at least once a day.

Ok, so you are not going to get rich off this overnight. I never said you would, however it is a nice way to make a few bucks on your way up......it is one way. I have lots more ways that I will be discussing in the days ahead. :)
