Farming gold for an epic fly-mountFollow

What trade skills do you have currently? What level are you now?

Two gathering type trade skills will bring in the most gold. Completing quests at 70 will yield lots of gold. Farming for rep items (Aldor/Scryer) will yield cash, cloth, and other items you can sell on the AH.

There are so many ways to bring in gold at 70. How did you make money for your other mounts? Take that knowledge and go with it =)

There is a link in my signature ffor making money in WoW from 1-60. In my experience, gold is as bountiful as water in Outlands. I really need to update my guide.

I'm a 360 alchemist. Just decided to go with tansmuting. Farmed all 4 of each primals in one day, now just need to wait 4 days and transmute one in every day. Then the quest will be done, then I can farm primals and make primal mights for 200g. With the chance I could proc, it could be kinkily profitable.

Meanwhile I will farm Netherbloom, Nightmare Vine and other herbs.

I agree quests and farming aldor/scryer rep items will yield lots of gold.

The question really is how badly do you want that epic flying mount?

Netherstorm has alot of farming spots. Apart from rep items, cloth sells well. You can also sell all your gathered items (skinning, mining, etc)

Forget about the selling crafted items. These cost more and the payoff isnt as good. Just break down you goal into smaller goals (50g a day or so) Before you know it, you've reached 5k already.

I just bought my epic flyer yesterday. When I decided I wanted to go for the epic, I promptly dropped Herbalism, and learned Mining. There is so much more money to be made mining now. Reasons:

1. You tend to get more from the mines than you did from herbs (stone, motes of earth and fire, gems etc...)
2. Think about all of the new jewelcrafters that are buying ores and gems!!
3. They just sell for more money on the AH on my server than herbs.

So after leveling mining all the way up. I also did every single quest I could find once I hit 70. Most quest turn ins give you about 12G each, with some of the group quests up to 30G. By doing nothing but questing one Saturday, I made over 500G.

My other profession is Tailoring. So I would make Primal Mooncloth, Spellcloth, and Shadowcloth (all of them sell for about 60G each on the AH) and sell them on the AH, along with Imbued Netherweave Bags (~30-50G on AH). And within a couple of weeks, I was done. (I usually only play on weekends and maybe 1 week night.)

Hope that helps. And good luck!

As has been said above, there are many 10 minute quests in Outlands that generate 10 to 19 gold once you hit 70. (provided you have a basic flying mount of course.)

Plus they get you to the quests that provide instance prerequisites.

Not to mention leveling all sorts of weapon skills if not already done so.

just going back and doing all the quests you missed from 60-70 should get you about halfway there, especially if you have a gathering profession to do along the way.

the gold reward, the xp converted to cash bonus, vendor trash (including useless gear rewards,) random green drops... it all adds up surprisingly quickly once you give it a shot.

the quest line to get the arcatraz key is prolly worth over 100g alone.

I agree, you should definately farm primals.

I recommend primal mana they sell well on my server (I sold three for 50g) and have a good drop rate.

heres how i do it.. get a bunch of quests for where you are (for me, example, im in netherstorm). once you get all the quests u can from one town/area/etc, just open up your quest list, go to allakhazam (this site, duh!), type in the name, or part of the name for the quest, and just check for each quests coordinates, then, using cartographer, or a similar addon, mark the coordinates on your map in WOW, and there ya go. this should take you about 5 minutes to do, and have about 10 quests marked on your map. go to each location, get what u need, and move around the map to the next closest mark! there you have it. you'll be turning in 5-10 quests at a time! it may sound complicated at first, but you'll save SO much time, instead of wandering around trying to figure out what to do or where to go :)

edit: and yes, i have skin/herbing. i really only spend money on reagents, and mana pots, and maybe some other random things... ive done most of HFP, all of terrokar, all of negrand, most of zangarmarsh, pretty much all of blades edge quests, and am almost done with netherstorms. I have hardly touched shadowmoon yet, and i am at approximately 3800Gs. i will EASILY be making that 1.4k within shadowmoon, and, conveniently, get my epic flyer in there as well ^.^

originally, when 60 was the max, i didn't do much questing after that. i figured pvp gear was about the best i could do, so no need to go do quest gear rewards. and with no exp coming in, id rather spend that same time levelling up other chars to 60 who had something to show for the questing involved. not to mention, when the max level was raised, i would want those quests to help me start leveling again.

now that TBC is out, i see that there's even less reason to do those old quests. just go to outlands to start.

so having learned that, i think that the quests converting to gold reward is a good reason to do those quests at 70.

getting 1000g from 60-70 sounds like a lot and 4000g more sounds longer. but in fact, it's not, because at 70, you get more gold per quest done, and the drops are also worth more to the vendor, if not the AH. even as a skinner or herbalist, the items you get from those skills will (generally) continue to be worth more, depending on what you pick.

for these and many reasons, before you start to just grind stuff like cloth and gear drops because that's how it was done pre-TBC, consider to do these quests as others suggested.
