Gold Farming in Wrath of the Lich King is essential now simply because Northrend is so much more expensive to play. So new World of Warcraft players beware, it’s not that easy and cheap to play this expansion. Everything at WOTLK is done on a larger scale, so here are a couple of Profession tips to get you going.

If you choose Tailoring as your crafting profession, you can earn a lot of gold in the Netherweave and Frostweave tier. I recommend powerleveling to these levels. The best way to boost tailoring is to use the auction house to your advantage by buying lots of low-tier fabrics at higher prices. Once you’re there, you need to provide a constant amount of linen, wool, or silk. Why? Because there are a lot of players who get a lot of different mounts just for the fun of it and this requires a lot of clothing donations to the factions that provide them.

Skinning is also a good way to make a profit on WOTLK. This is great combined with Mining and Herbalism. The new types of leather that will bring you profit are Arctic Fur and Icy Dragonscales. They are extremely valuable and will fetch very high prices on the auction house. Commonly available boreal leather will sell easily, just because it’s common doesn’t mean it can’t be profitable. Borean himself will cover many expenses.

Alchemy is also a great profession for Wrath of the Lich King. This is because there is a constant need in WOTLK for Flasks, Transmutations, and Consumables. The most profitable Mastery is the Elixir specialization. But mastery of potions and mastery of transmutations can also bring profit.

There you go, some tips that will hopefully help you farm gold in WOTLK. Good luck
