You have chanced upon an entry of my Journal and World of Warcraft Gold Guide in which I have chronicled my efforts at wow gold farming. In this section of my wow gold guide, I concentrate on how to make easy wow gold through the canny use of buying, looting and questing of bags up to 16 slots.

As you may know – Jewel crafting is a HOT HOT HOT profession now. Well Jewel Crafters also need gems that they get from prospecting ore. Most players who aren’t Jewel Crafters will buy these gems directly in order to get the gems cut.
Buy loads of ore and either prospect it, or find a Jewel Crafter to prospect it for you. This is an awesome way to make automated Gold!

For those who are not interested in skinning, there are other professions available. Whether the character crafts, harvests, or provides a service, the profession can earn gold. As characters level up and gain more experience in their profession, they are able to produce items or provide services that are worth even more gold.

Not all players enjoy grinding, but it is a quick way to earn gold in World of Warcraft. Grinding requires finding an area full of mobs, or mobile objects, that can be killed one at a time but spawn faster than they are killed. By killing and looting in such an area, players can easily obtain gold and items that can be sold. Targeting lower level mobs makes grinding go faster, which produces more loot more quickly. Some of these areas even have reoccurring chests and/or elite items, both of which can make it quicker and easier to get more gold.

Now bags come in all colors, shapes and sizes; but, if we listen to the Orcs, the only thing we need worry about when it comes to grinding for wow gold is the number of slots that they provide. The more slots a bag contains the more expensive it is to purchase. So in your early levels (5-10), you’ll probably only be able to afford a 6 slot bag for a few silver coin. You’ll find vendors selling 6 slot bags in many of the towns; but check out the Auction House, as you’ll likely find a few bargains from those players with the Tailoring profession. Depending on how well you make gold in wow, you may stretch to an 8 slot bag, but greater than 8 slots and you’re looking at paying in gold coin.

Now those with the Tailoring profession clearly have an advantage when it comes to their bags as they can craft all their needs and find ready buyers for their surplus in the Auction House. The first bag that Tailors learn to craft is the 6 slot Linen Bag which can be found on the Auction House for a few silver. My strategy for low level alts is to fill all my available slots with these bags as early as possible. Tailors then move on to crafting 8 slot Woolen Bags or various colors, which are little more expensive, but should still be in your price range.

Now, if you’re your purse does not contain the necessary coin to purchase a bag at this level, and you are not a Tailor, you are left with acquiring additional bags through drops and quests. Quite a few mobs drop 8 slot Leather Bags, but the frequency is not great; you’ll have more chance with those quests which reward you with a bag. In general, the greater the number of slots a bag has as a reward, the greater the difficulty of quest, and the higher the level you’ll need to be.

For a 6 slot bag, try the quest ‘Miner’s Fortune’ from the Wharf Master at Rachet, who rewards ‘Old Moneybag’, a 6 slot bag. For an 8 slot bag, try the quest ‘Captain Sander’s Booty Bag’ which is only available for Alliance characters at Westfall as part of a series of quests ‘Captain Sander’s Hidden Treasure’.
