Arctic Fur is a rare drop when skinning Northrend beasts. It sells for a high price, especially to leatherworkers crafting epic gear. -

Use your cooldowns to transmute items like Cardinal Ruby or Eternal Might. These cooldown-based items often sell for a premium. -
Tailoring Cooldown Crafts (e.g. Spellweave, Ebonweave)
Crafting cooldowns yield valuable materials for high-end cloth gear. Sell them raw or use them for even higher profit crafting. -
Crafting PvP Gear to Sell

Engineering Pets and Gadgets
Create engineering-only pets or fun gadgets like the Wormhole Generator. Some are BoE and can fetch good prices. -
Selling Glyphs (Inscription)
Use Inscription to mass-produce glyphs of popular specs (e.g. Glyph of Frostfire). These are cheap to make and profitable if you monitor demand.

Part 5: Auction House Tricks & Economy (46–55)
-
Flip Underpriced Items
Scan the Auction House daily using addons like TSM or Auctionator. Buy items listed below market value and resell them at a profit. -
Sell Gathered Materials in Bulk
Whether it’s herbs, ores, leather, or cloth—bulk stacks always sell better than singles. Players leveling professions are your top buyers. -
Craft & Sell Leveling Gear
Use professions like Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, or Tailoring to create popular leveling gear. Many players buy upgrades rather than farm them. -
Watch Weekend Price Spikes
Item prices usually go up on weekends due to higher player activity. Post your items Friday evening for maximum profit. -
Use TSM for Market Scanning
TSM (TradeSkillMaster) helps you track historical prices, automate undercutting, and manage auctions efficiently. A must-have for serious gold-makers. -
Sell Leveling Boosts (Dungeons or Quests)
If you’re a tank or a high-DPS class, you can offer paid boosting services. Low-level players will pay well for quick, safe runs. -
Snipe Rare Pets or Mounts to Resell
Watch for rare items like engineering pets, BoE mounts, or rare recipes listed cheaply. Buy and repost at market value. -
Sell Enchants & Scrolls
Use Enchanting to create scrolls (via vellums) and list them on the AH. Players prefer ready-to-use scrolls rather than finding an enchanter. -
Craft & Flip Glyphs (Inscription)
Identify the most popular glyphs for PvE or PvP specs and keep them stocked. Inscription is one of the most profitable AH professions. -
Undercut Competitors During Peak Hours
Timing matters—post items during peak server activity (usually evenings and weekends) and undercut by small margins for faster sales.
Part 6: Misc & Niche Gold Tricks (56–60)
-
Participate in Wintergrasp and Loot Chests
Winning Wintergrasp grants access to lootable PvP and PvE chests. These can contain Eternals, gems, and gear—great for vendors or auction resale. -
Sell Portal or Transport Services (Mages)
Mages can make steady gold by offering portals to Dalaran, Shattrath, and major cities. Charge per portal, especially in busy areas like Dalaran. -
Fishing Rare Pools (e.g., Dragonfin Angelfish)
Certain fish like Dragonfin Angelfish or Glacial Salmon are used in top-tier raiding food. Fish in their native pools and sell to high-end players. -
Loot and Vendor Gray/White Gear from Mobs
Don’t ignore gray and white items—they can sell for decent gold to vendors, especially from elites or raid trash. -
Group with New Players & Share Dungeon Rewards
Offer to help new players in RDF or normal dungeons. You’ll earn gold from mob drops and vendor loot, and they might tip for your help.
