Three Tips to Making Amazing Gold While Leveling Up in World of Warcraft

If you're leveling up in World of Warcraft and are wondering the best ways to make gold while leveling your character, then here are a few tips that you should know. You need to create a mule character to store and sell your loot, you need to pick up gathering professions, and you need to upgrade those bags ASAP. After reading this article you will be well on your way to making amazing gold in World of Warcraft.

Creating a mule character.

While leveling in World of Warcraft you will pick up a bunch of loot that you'll want to sell, but in many cases you will not want to return to an auction house in order to continue to level up. The best way to avoid wasted trips to town is to create a mule character and keep it near a mailbox in one of the major cities.

Since every area has a mailbox, it is much easier to return to the mailbox instead of a city. So what you will do instead is head to the nearest mailbox and mail the mule character any unwanted or sellable loot. In most cases gray loot can be sold to a nearby NPC instead of wasting the copper to mail it to your mule, but otherwise everything else should be sent.

Pick up gathering professions.

Gathering professions are perfect for leveling up and making gold simply because there is nothing to make. All you need to do is keep your tracking up, in the case of herbalism and mining, and have any necessary tools. You should really consider picking two gathering professions while you level up, but I would avoid picking herbalism and mining together because you can only have one form of tracking at a time. Obviously, this will fill your backpacks very quickly so you will definitely want to have that mule character at the ready.

Upgrading your bags.

If you are serious about making money whale up there is no way you can live without anything short of a 16 slot bag, and you should consider at least an 18 or 20 slot bag. The biggest waster of time is repeated trips to a mailbox or auction house and the easiest way to avoid these wasted trips is to have bigger bags. If you have any friends that do tailoring you should ask them to make you some bags, otherwise usurer early profits to upgrade your backpacks immediately.

If you do all these tricks you will find that you'll have plenty of gold for anything that you want, especially your mount and riding skill. There are a few secret places you can farm for better drops and are even some good profession recipes that you can sell to make some great gold. The best part is the higher level you are the easier this gets.
