Gold Guide

Hey you, internet guy! You're either unregistered or new here. Be aware:
Some parts of this gold guide are not available to the public. If too many people use the same strategy it becomes less effective, or worse, it could be nerfed. For those reasons, sensitive strategies are marked "Forum Access Required: Level 2+"
You can gain level 2 access by contributing to the community in one of two ways:
- Prove you can write in full sentences by posting your best strategy or guide in our public level 1 area. After the community sees how great it is, they'll let you into level 2.
OR
- Pay a membership fee of about 6 pennies per day, enabling us to reward the best contributors, pay for server fees, and buy an official Not Addicted yacht. You can be first mate.
If you don't give a damn and want to stay unregistered, which is fine, we're still a great resource for public gold strategies, the ones that won't be nerfed and won't be ruined by thousands of people. Simply look for those marked "Forum Access Required: Level 1+"
Through years of playing World of Wowcraft, then quitting forever, then coming back, then leaving for real this time, then coming back - we've uncovered the four essential ways to make gold. We've dubbed them the "Four 'ings' of Gold Making." Farming, Crafting, Investing, and Transgressing.
If you're new to making gold or are very very stupid, please familiarize yourself with some General Gold Strategies first.
| Method | Detail | Summary |
|---|---|---|
 Farming | Low Levels High Levels Raiding and Groups | Pros: Takes little to no thinking, no risk, and consistent profits. Cons: Boring and time consuming. |
 Crafting | Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Cooking, Enchanting, Engineering, First Aid, Fishing, Herbalism, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, Mining, Skinning, Tailoring | Pros: Your armor rarely gets damaged, and profits can be extremely high when there's an untapped niche. Cons: The risks are slightly higher than farming, and it takes some familiarity of your server's market. |
 Investing | Faction Auction House Neutral Auction House Bargaining | Pros: Pay-offs that far exceed any other strategy out there. Cons: It takes money to make money. Market prices can be fickle. |
 Transgressing | Scamming / Cheating | Pros: Tons of quick, easy money. Cons: Risk of getting account suspended. |
The Gold Guide is officially updated every Friday (by taking the best posts from the Notaddicted forums), however, community members are free to update the guide with their strategies right now.
