MOUNT!!!!Follow

It is really not a lot of money. You will notice that the closer you get to 40, the more money you have coming in. As long as you don't go crazy on the AH and spend all your money upgrading every other level you should do fine. As far as best places to skin and mine, I just did it wherever I happened to be leveling at the time. Although I made most of my money "day trading" on the AH, gathering professions, plus quests, plus selling drops should provide more than enough by 40 or shortly there after.

when you get to lvl 30, the yeti cave north of southshore is a good place to gather skins and ore at the same time.

with two gathering profs, i have confidence that you'll have 100g by the time you hit lvl 40.

Go fishing in Tanaris. You can make your mount gold in less than a day by fishing.

I made an alt on different server to test how much money i could make by just questing and skinning and mine a long the way

lvl 19 and i got 35g in my bags and i dont have any suger daddy on this server.

Just skin and mine as much as you can while lvlling (you know about the "find minerals" feature right?)

Raise your fishing. Raise your fishing. Raise your fishing.

There is an old adage that if you want someone to remember something, say it three times.

Go to Darkshore and fish. Fish the pools for Oily Blackmouth. There are two fishing quests from the gnome on the second floor of the inn that will help time go faster. Sell the Oily Blackmouth.

Go to Southshore and fish off the pier. There are always at least two pools, and sometimes three, that you can get right there. Oily Blackmouth, Firefin Snapper, and Floating Debris (sometimes). There's a fishing NPC right there to buy lures from. And you can take the other advice and go skin the Yetis, but they're level 30 and 31.

Get your fishing up to about 150 and go north out of Southshore and then east until you hit the river, and fish Sagefish. I'm not sure if they sell better cooked or uncooked because I cooked them and used them for my Pally at that level. Up and down the river, pool after pool of Sagefish. The turtles are neutral (yellow) and will not bother you, but watch for a group of five NPCs (undead, I think) that cross that bridge occasionally.

Southshore will be nice for you because it is loaded with beasts that you can skin. When you learn the way to the river, get off the road and you can kill and skin your way there and back. There is a good beast kill quest from the NPC in the stables.

When you are high enough level, go to Tanaris as OMG said (your fishing will be maxed by then) and make more money. You'll have your mount by then, though.

Deviate Fish is actually a great choice if you're on a PvE server. They make more gold that either Firefin Snapper or Oily Blackmouth, and the Oases are low enough level that 80 skill is not a problem.

I'm not certain whether it would be good on a PvP server, because there are so many quests that send hordies to the Oases. The probability of them bringing in their friends to get an HK should be enough to keep you away (or at least on your toes). Keeping a constant eye out for gankers will also impact your fishing.

At 25 it might be a little dangerous but I've always just run to the first oasis right outside of Ratchet and never had any issues.

Work on your MINING, you should be putting stacks of mithril up for sale on the AH by your mid-late 30's, and those sell for 12-15g each. Seriously, go out and mine like crazy.

Once you hit your higher 30s, like 35-36 go to wailing caverns and farm the elite raptors for skining. They're only level 16-17, so whenever you can quickly solo them, go there. Skin those for perfect deviate scales, medium and light leather, and deviate scales. You're really only there for perfect deviate scales.

Theres fishing bots on most servers farming deviate fish 24/7, the prices are ridiculously low to bother trying. Unless you can sell stacks uncooked for 8g a stack, don't bother, instead go level up your mining and run around arathi + STV gathering tin ore, iron ore and mithril ore. Don't smelt it, sell it in ore form by the stack.

you are too high for WC now. Wailing Caverns are generally used by the Horde (I believe in replacement for the Stockades or Gnomer, Idk my Alliance side instances) for the 17-22 bracket. At your level you should be running SM and RFD.

I will check this out tonight. I am level 39 now and just about to hit 40.

I will check this out tonight. I have been to Theramore Isle, and I'll have my mount tonight when I hit 40 and I'll head right out there and start mining!
