You can make a lot of gold from the faire vendors even after they have been nerfed the respawn rates. I make around 10k profit from previous fairs (spend around 1500g) and with the price of herbs up more than ever and the introduction of Northrend items for sale at the vendors, I plan to make more the next fair. I purchase everything from Fel Lotus for 3g each, motes for 16 s each, and scrolls for a couple silver.

The vendors Professor Thaddeus Paleo and Lhara have random spawn limited quantity items for sale during the fair. It is easiest to “farm” the faire when it is in your factions’ town since opposing factions cannot visit as easily. Read the rest of this entry »

There are several vendors in Netherstorm that can make you quite a bit of gold. It is hard to get too, so it may help to use a alt that you don’t need (that preferably has the flight paths). These vendors sell a range of engineering items, vendor pets (Covered in a previous article), enchanting mats, motes, and herbs.

I have a level 70 alt that sits at one site or the other (you can leave out Area 52 if you want to cut down on time) and flys back and forth to buy things. This is something I do when I have time to get some extra spare change.

The route I use is starting at Area 52 (again you can skip this if you want) at Qiff, the engineering supply vendor. He sells Fel Iron Casing, Smoke flares, Handful of Fel Iron Bolts, and Adamantite Frames that can sell for double or more than the vendor Read the rest of this entry »

Remember Glowcaps in Zangarmarsh? These little mushrooms are all over the place (and probably really annoying to those herbalist who were trying to farm “real herbs”). So whats so special about them? They can be used to purchase cooking recipes off the Sporeggar Quartermaster that Read the rest of this entry »

Notice yourself spending a lot of time sitting around in Dalaran?

You can turn this time (and time sitting around in other cities) into some pocket change instead of running in circles around the city.

There are two vendors in Dalaran where you can purchase limited supply items for resale.   The items include Strange Dust, Lesser Mystic Essence, and some mana pots.

There is a lot of gold to be made with vanity pet selling. Now that there is an achievement for it and people don’t need to have the pet take up bag space people want every pet they can get.

The thing is like everything else, wow players are lazy. You can buy vendor pets for 50 s and price them at 5g and sell 10 + a week of each kind.

Cross faction selling is a goldmine too. If you have a second account, friend with a second account with another faction on your sever it makes it a bit easier. Or if you can post on your server forums asking for someone to contact you via email about  buying something off a vendor on their side, you can  get someone who is like minded and will work with you on a cross faction AH.
