Making Money

It's been almost a month since my last post.

Slacking, I know. Even for me.

But something I've been doing a lot of lately, is grinding out gold for various things.

I've also been trying to tank on a DK, which ties into this post, and is immense fun.

There are a few vary easy ways for an 80 in WoW to make money. Some classes have better options than others, but it is very easy for all.

Following are some options, and in some cases, examples.

1. Dailys. These are the cookie cutter bacon-bringers now. You can do up to 25 of them, and most of the time there's some type of reputation that you need involved in the rewards.

2. Old quests. By old quests, I mean the ones you haven't done before. I've been going along with my Priest and going systematically from zone to zone, getting the questing achievement for each. Doing this has been netting nearly 1500 gold in each zone. Consider that we are both enchanters, and as such, DE everything we run across, if you vendor all the greens/blues your picking up, that would nearly double.

3. Grinding. This can be anything. Grinding for a profession, a certain drop, or just lots of humanoids for money. This would be out in the open somewhere, and might involve a little world PvP depending on which type of server your on. I find this incredibly boring, as there is not a clear goal in site besides just killing stuff.

4. Old instance runs. These can net you a ton of money, as long as your careful about it. These are mostly reserved to certain classes, for various reasons. Healers will have a harder time with the better money making instances (Scholo/Strat/BRD) just because they cannot put out a lot of damage right away. Plate wearers will end up with a high repair bill. This leaves the niche of instance grinding to four classes. Hunters, Warlocks, Rogues, and Mages. Hunters and Warlocks because they have pets, and will not be taking much damage. They bring they're own tank, heals and dps. Makes it easy for them. Rogues because they can stealth past nearly anything, and have many ways of removing them selves from sticky situations. Thus lowering they're over all repair bills. And Mages, because if your a decent Mage, a couple elites will never have a chance to hit you. You can kite most of the mobs easliy, and just burst down the bosses.

What ever you need money for, there are plenty of ways to get it. You just have to find something you can do for longer than 10 minutes at a time.
