There are so many ways to make money playing your favorite MMORPG. I will explain some of the simpler ones that will hopefully get you going in the right direction. I have used all of these methods myself. Try some out and if it doesn’t quite meet your expectations try the next one. You can do one or a combination of methods to get that cash flowing into your hands. So here they are:

1) Sell Gold: You farm gold and sell it to customers. This is usually the easiest way to get started. It does not take long to farm gold and any character can do it. The objective is to make gold as fast as possible. There are quite a few ways to go about gathering gold. If you’re still trying to get to the maximum level I would suggest taking it easy. Do quests which involve killing monsters. These quests usually give some gold as well as monster loot. I can make 100g easily selling nothing but grey and white items to the vendor.
Another possible method is to go instance or raid. If you’re in a good guild you can get some amazing drops from doing this. Some say there is where the money is at!
Lastly you could do it the old fashioned way and grind, grind, grind. Yes, it’s extremely boring. However knowing what mobs to grind on and what they drop can significantly increase your gold. Not to mention how much you can make from vendor trash items. These days for grinding there are a few items you want to aim for with auction house sale prices:

Primal Fire – 30 – 45g each
Primal Air – 30-40g each
Primal Water – 25-35g each
Primal Mana – 20-30g each
Primal Life – 15-25g each
Primal Earth – 5-10g each
Primal Shadow - 70s-2g each

Check out Allakhazam to find where these beauty’s drop. For serious gold farmers there is a guide that most will call a requirement. Valkor’s Gold Farming Guide has helped me rake in over 200g an hour! No matter what type of character I play Valkor’s guide will tell you exactly what, where, and how to farm!

2) Offer Power Leveling Services: Customers pay you to level a character for them. This might be your calling if you’re REALLY good at it. Power leveling is not instant as gold but there is a lot more to earn. For the fastest possible power leveling service (and you better be fast or there goes your business) you absolutely need to learn and master Brian Kopp’s Alliance and Joana’s Horde power leveling guides. These two have set world records for fastest leveling. I personally own both and I cut my leveling time in half.

3) Sell Finished Accounts: You create a new account, level a character to level 60 or 70, than you sell the entire account with any gold and items on it. This is very similar to power leveling except it’s not someones account until you sell it. You can easily make $400 or more depending on the characters layout.

Thanks for reading a quickie guide I pulled together to help out those interested in this “career”. I will be writing Part 2 about where to market your virtual goods! Stay tuned!
