Sitting pretty on 208g at lv 54, had my mount at dead on 40 with 93g in my pockets at the time.

Still bought most of my training and a few misc items on the AH. I've probably made around 40g on the AH and about 10g through friends. Biggest item I've sold was Dreamweave chest for 15g which I farmed the mats for and had my friend craft me for free. Easy $.

Nothing done yet, I'm not too fazed as a Druid or even Shaman getting mount @ 40. If I get it at 42-43 on Shaman and 45 on Druid I'll be happy. Mount doesn't make or break the enjoyment for me, I'm in no great rush and travel form/ghost wolf will get me by just fine :smile:

I'm at 36g at level 31. Feel like I could be doing better, but I certainly could be doing worse.

I'd say that's certainly above average!

So I was definitely SLACKING and not really taking care BEFORE I hit 40. Once I did hit 40 I literally went for 2 whole levels and did nothing but kill dragon welps, jaguars, gorillas, basilisks. ANYTHING that I could skin and that has good vendor junk to sell. Made my gold in about 5-6 hours from 38 gold to 90 or something.

AH sales and stuff happening at the same time too, but yea. Just kill LOTS of stuff :)

@Yinn @JollyResolve6
Clamette Surprise

Anyone who wanted Artisan Cooking but didn't google this before hand either pays 4g or wastes 30 minutes flying back to their home city. Same goes for the Zest Clam Meat.

Giant Eggs will also get you bank especially from people doing this before level 40 but they're a bit of a PITA to farm.

Now THIS I'm going to have to check out.

Devilsaurs. Wardens Satff. Essences. Played the AH a bit. Alllllll for an early set of https://classic.wowhead.com/item=14551/edgemasters-handguards which I gladly picked up today. Will be working towards my https://classic.wowhead.com/item=12640/lionheart-helm next, but arcane crystals are in high demand.

With layering, an epic mount isnt much of a priority for collecting nodes or escaping PvP. And without BG's its not pertinent for winning games... So its a low priority for me right now.

I mostly earn gold from the auction house.

Talking about auction house - which AH addon do you use and why? I am using Auctionator. Is it good? I like all the things it offers and I sell 99% things I put in AH, so I would say that it works.

Yep, Auctionator is great! Or wait, was that Auctioneer... Anyway I think they are really good if you are serious about making gold.
I just hope they make it actually 100% for Classic. Right now it comes with tons of things not applicable (professions / abilities like milling, the auction duration is wrong etc).

First time i went two gathering professions. Skinning and Mining. Sold everything i gathered and bought a mount at 40 no problem. I will probably transition to BS/engi later, once i collect enough buffer gold

Reading through the comments on https://classic.wowhead.com/item=14551/edgemasters-handguards#comments is hilarious, little did they know:

"*!@#test epic ever"
"this is so bad it makes baby jebus cry :( my first random epic drop ever - but hey, easy 30g"
"What a wretched drop. I was literally bursting with joy when I saw the purple text... And then I saw the details and realized it was utter crap. I'll be lucky to get 20g for it."

Personnaly, I was short for about 40-50 golds when I reached 40, so I figured I'd need to do some more intensive farming sessions.

Being a Skinner/Leatherworker, I also wanted to take that time to farm mobs that would help me level it up, so my best choice was to farm Scalding Whelps because these guys were about the same level as me, are the first kind of "Dragonkin" that you're able to farm for some Worn Dragonscales and also drop some good components that could be potentially resale at the AH, now or later, such as Wicked Claws (used to craft the Lionheart Helm) or Small Flame Sacs (used to craft Fire Protection Potions)

And also, you have a slight chance (.05%) of dropping a Dark Whelpling which is (now or later) very valuable and can resale for multiple golds.

So yeah, if you're like me, find this place on empty hours and farm it for 8 hours straight, or 1/2 days of casual farming, and you should be good to go :mrgreen:

20 gold at level 28

Geez Teebs, I swear I read somewhere else that you were "broke and loving it".

I'm at lvl 22 and barely broke the 6 gold mark, not even buying all the skills. I honestly don't know how I made it back in vanilla, I just remember being "late" and having to farm a bit to get mount at 42 or 3. I'm glad I'm a warlock now, honestly...

Well I have been known to offer ‘services’ of sorts in Goldshire from time to time :smile:

I just sell my greens with good stats in the AH. The rest goes to the vendor. And I started to sell mageweave bags. At the moment the price is okay on my server 1g10s buyout per bag (60s=mats). I will check out the enchant mats prices later on, maybe I can make more with that.
