ok im a lvl 43 warrior and im poor. what are some good ways to make money? my mining is at 143 and blacksmithing only 62. i have no clue how to make money, but i have decent gear for my lvl.
Hmmmm due to my natural disregard to these posts I think I'll post tonight, and maybe curb a few in the future--I'm feeling generous. Before I begin with some helpful hints and tips, please realize that pretty much with this thread you shown that you are/have been to lazy to go out and search for some Gold Making guides.
Links to good guides (All free):
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/guides.html?guide=357 -- On this very site, how weird.
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/guides.html?guide=386 -- Again on this site...strange how scrolling down and clicking guides can be useful!
http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/guides.html?guide=592
Some useful tips are, download auctioneer (google is your friend) and learn how to "play the auction house". Farming and spending hours among hours killing humanoids (gray or green are the best!) can be very rewarding. Last but not least, drop BSing and get skinning, and level it up. It'll be a bit of work, but two gathering professions should easily boost you to your goal--a good amount of money.
Hope this helps,
Enigmen

You are a miner. Go mine :p
Seriously! You cannot be broke if you mine every node you see and sell everything on the AH.

I wish someone would make guide for NEW servers, where nothing sells that good yet.
I started playing some 3 months ago on newly opened server.
Took skinning/lw first and was just making things and selling to vendors to raise my skills. I didnt even know what AH was.
Dropped it all for herbalism/alchemy, I love my potions but I hardly ever have enough for sale.
Made few alts when my bank started to overflow and I found out it saves me a lot of time to simply send things to alt than travell to AH on my main. Leveled fishing (375 now), spent days on catching yellowtails and delivering them in IF for crappy greens. Then I leveled one alt to 20, took enchanting and just raised it enough to DE all the crappy greens and started selling mats.
Leveled another alt to 10, raised tailoring/lw on her enough to put together scraps (my third alt is skinner/miner) and use some of the cloth/wool I looted on my main, make cheap greens and send them for deenchanting.
I sell all the fish I get from maniacal fishing (firefins, eels), stacks of herbs I pick up and dont really need anymore, enchanting mats, cloth, simply everything I can gather around.
Prices are ridicolous on my server still, about 1/4 of what it states here on this site, few epics I had luck to loot are still in my bank because I could never sell them even in half price...... but I made enough money to buy my epic mount (or go for that annoying warlock mount quest, havent decided yet).
There are maybe 20-30 people on my server that got to 70 and I have yet to see flying mount.
Just gather all you can and try to sell it best you can..... works well for me.

True. The only way you can go broke with mining is if you waste the mats on Blacksmithing.

Download auctioneer and install and use it. Before I did that, I struggled to get about 10-20 gold total, but within a few weeks I'm up over 200! And I don't really play very often.

replace mining with herbalism or skinning. And replace Blacksmithing with alchemy and leatherworking. :)

Why would you do that? Just go sell the ores, I made over 150g on my 30 war (new server too btw)... Mining/BS is like 195/180. Train mining and bs

Mining and skinning!
Ore (unrefined) sells well. Iron stacks sell for 3+ gold. If you are nervous about selling things on the Auction House, sell it for a little less than everybody else, and it will sell for sure. As long as you are gathering the stuff yourself, it's pure profit anyway.
A level 43 should have no problem mining iron in the 30-40 areas. But don't ignore the other ores, they all sell pretty well. Even the stones will sell pretty well, though not for as much. Still... pure profit!
Don't listen to the people who claim they make hundreds of gold with Auctioneer. I agree that it is a "must have" addon, but it does not automagically make gold for you. Maybe you might luck out on a supercheap deal, but the reality is that it takes skill, experience, and frequent (at least weekly) AH scans, not to mention a lot of trial and error to really use it to it's full potential. It's best use is to give you a realistic price to sell green drops.
Selling ore, skins, and green drops on the AH is the way to consistently earn gold.
Make an alt, stick him by the AH, and mail everything valuable to him.
ALSO NOTE: Don't obsess about having the best gear for your level. That is the single fastest way to lose all your money. Upgrade your stuff every ten levels or so. You'll find great drops in instances, and even normal mobs sometimes drop good stuff. When you have a mega-rich level 70, then you can twink your alts.

lol thanks for that little bit of advice, if i knew that 42 levels ago, i wouldn't have picked a class as gear-dependent as warrior.

I was saying replace the words in that sentence, because LW/skinning and Herb/Alchemy usually results in the same as Mining/BS
I know what you meant by take up herb/skinning and alch/LW. I am stating that WHY would superawesomenoob WHO by the way is a WARRIOR would take LW>?!?!?!?!?!?!? That's like telling a priest to go take LW....
Sorry i'm a bit agitated after all, not used to 11 hours of AP bio on a sunday... VERY tired.... I think i should be able to jsut go chill since Im only a freshman in HS, but no.... stupid azn parents.

in other words, pair a money-making skill (gathering) with a money-sink (crafting) and you will end up with the same result. Someone who wastes gathered mats and has to sell crafted items for less than the mats would bring.
I'm a lvl42 warrior and have made well over 300g in the last week through mining.
My advice is level your mining until you can mine iron (not sure on lvl) and get gatherer add-on. After that do rounds of 1k needles, low lvl mobs are easy to pass by and you can find a few rare mobs, one up in the wyvern place (cant remember name) spawns often enough.
When you fill up on ores hearth to a main city (ogrimmar or thunder bluff are best) sell them at ah and fly back and start again.
BTW it helps to have runecloth bags or higher so you can stay longer

The best way to make money I've found is kill! Kill! KILL!!!! Sell the proceeds (grey to vendors, the rest to AH) and pocket the cash.
As a 43 warrior you should be able to farm some of the lower-level instances pretty good or, as has been said before, concentrate on humanoid green/grey-level mobs.
More tips:
When you're waiting for a boat, whip out your rod and start fishing.
Don't buy anything. Seriously, never buy stuff. It's not necessary.
You're into blacksmithing. Don't buy all the damned recipes. Most are crud and you'll never make them.
Work out which ore you need for levelling the blacksmith skill. Save that ore and anything of a higher level - you'll need it later.
Get BS up as quickly as you can, with the ore you find. When you move to using a different metal, start selling the ore you don't need.

Bad advise. To paraphrase: "Save the ore that can make you money, so you can waste it on a money loser". The OP wants to know how to make money, not lose it. Best advise is to drop blacksmithing and get a second gathering skill. That way you won't be tempted into keeping anything sellable in your pack.
