Making money in the wow auction house can be fairly

basic if you know what you’re doing. Having a knowledge of what markets to

work in is critical. Without that information, you can lose a

ton of gold very fast. Obviously, a wow auction house

guide such as Mayle Winter’s “WoW Auction Mastery” highlights the best

markets, but what about the people who can’t afford that

kind of information? For those players, I want to point out my 3 favorite3 most successful markets for making gold on the auction house in

World of Warcraft.

1. Gems - The gems required for jewelcrafting are a gargantuan market. Make sure to

stick with the ones that have both PVE and PVP applications. Stamina always

does the trick, and any stat that increases DPS is a constant seller. Resilience does very well if you can stockpile

them and release a bunch right when a new arena season landsstartsAvoid stats like defense and spirit.

2. Rare Recipes - You’ll see these on the auction house frequently at way lower prices than they should be. Check with

WoWhead and check how much they are worth, and if they are underpriced,

snatch them up and relist them. It’s an easy strategy to make

a couple of hundred gold in one auction.

3. Event items - Items such as small eggs, glasses of milk, and anything else that is

required in a repeating holiday event. Buy

these up in advance, and then sell them en masse at inflated prices for a

giant infusion of gold.

Those 3 markets can give you a great head start in the wow auction house. If you

can’t earn gold in those markets, you should probably stick to grinding or daily quests!
