Variety is the spice of life. As Gold makers, we some times find ourselves falling into very profitable routines. Whether they be mixing specific professions, posting on proper schedules, or even simply dominating markets by overpowering them. Whatever your specialty is, you’ll sometimes forget that there are other things out there that can be a lot of fun, but make you a good amount of Gold at the same time.
One of the things I have experienced as of late is running into monotony of sorts. My most profitable Gold Making ability is the Obsidium Shuffle. As far as sheer Gold Per Hour, there is nothing in this game that can beat it for me currently. However, with comes the boredom of falling into that same daily routine. While it’s fun to log on every morning and find myself with a healthy amount of gold sitting in my mailbox, what isn’t fun is not being able to venture out into the rest of the game. So I’ve put together three excellent ways to make Gold that you may have never thought of. Or perhaps you’ve thought about it, but never tried it? Or maybe you know everything and probably should skip to the next post. Whatever you chose, I hope you enjoy :P
The Trusty Dungeon Run:
It’s an oldy but a goody. One of my favorite ways to make gold, while beating things up is providing low level characters with dungeon runs. Essentially, all you do is clear the dungeon for the low level toon, in exchange for them paying you. You win by making quick and easy gold for saving/investing and they win by having the experience gains. If you have a make level toon that is awesome at AOE then jump on this. I've seen players pay upwards of 100g run before.
Be a Tank:
This one is a fantastic opportunity. The great part about it is it is easier then you think. When you read that, you immediately went "My 85 is a Mage. I can't tank. Stupid." Not true, I say! Play an Alt! I know you have at least one low level alt who has a spec for tanking. You don't have to be 85 to make money for this. Using the dungeon finders functionality along with quick ques, being a tank can make you a bucket of gold at any level. Sure people may not paying out right as if you were giving them runs, but playing at alt tank will allow you to loot low level items that can be turned into a tidy profit on the auction house. So rainy Sunday? Be a tank!
Quest Guide:
Another great way to make some money off of leveling Characters is by being a Quest Guide. No, this doesn't mean telling them where to go and what to do, this means doing it for them. Take a Zone like Nagrand for instance. There are lots of kill X number of Blank Quests, and there is also the Ring of Blood quests. These quests provide lots of experience but take a decently long time to solo as a toon that is the appropriate level to that zone. Take advantage of this. Offer up your services in General Chat they you will help with said quests for a small fee. You'll have a couple of bites in no time.
Sure these may not be ways that are going to make you rich overnight, but they will in fact make you Gold. You may be 500g a away from next shiny mount or piece of gear. Implementing these little tricks will get you there in no time!
