How to Make Fast Money
We’ll show you how to make fast money working from home
Im a level 30 hunter night elf. my professions are leatherworking and skining. I try to make money with those professions but most the stuff dosent sell. i even tried lowering price. What can i do to make more money?? i have a lvl 15 human paladin wat should i get for professions that will make me rich easy??
What else can i do to make fast money?? how do u do it??
Okay, I’ve answered this kind of question a few times (and got chosen as best answer), so here is what I usually tell people…
Most people swear by getting 2 gathering professions (usually Herbalism and Mining) to make money fast, but that can be boring. However, lots of gathering and selling ingredients is a good way to make money profession-wise.
Get the following AddOns: Auctioneer and Gatherer.
- Auctioneer is a great help scanning and pricing on the AH. It also comes with Enchantrix which helps tell if DEing is better than selling, if you decide you want to pick Enchanting.
- Gatherer keeps track of all the nodes you’ve gathered (herbs and mines).
Research which limited supply recipes you can buy at various vendors for less than 30s, but sell at AH for more than 1g.
Take time to gather, if you have a gathering profession, but only while doing other things. If you decide to take a crafting profession, you probably want to avoid Blacksmithing, Enchanting and Engineering, as it is very hard to make good money with them compared to other crafting professions.
Since you already seem to have picked Leatherworking, I would make armor kits to sell. You may find them easier to sell than plain leather, but do some experimenting on the AH to see what works. If you want to make items to sell, stick to set items (items of with the same starting name, but different slots: At your level only make white (Common) items to increase your skill (the only exception being Hillman’s Cloak as it is needed for an Alliance quest in Southshore). Only green (Uncommon) or better items will sell.
Here are some good leatherworking items to make for sale:
Toughened Leather Gloves
Green Leather Armor (needed for Blacksmithin blue, Green Iron Hauberk)
Barbaric Shoulders (moderate ingredients, but shoulders not easy to get at level 30)
Scan the AH 2-3 times a week. Be careful selling armor and weapons unless the profit is high and they sell quickly, otherwise they have high AH fees that can eat your profits.
Look for below market recipes and trade skill ingredients to resell. Recipes and ingredients have low or no AH fee. Try not to spend more than about 50s per thing you buy unless the profit is over 5-10g.
Don’t spend too much money on buying items unless they are dirt cheap (Auctioneer should help you figure this out). Assuming you want to level pretty fast, spending big money on items that will only last 2-3 levels is a waste of money.
If you want to craft stuff, stick to BoEs and set items. See what sells well on the AH, but doesn’t take too many or expensive ingredients.
Only hold on to grays that are in bigger stacks for worth over around 1.5 times your level (so at 30, about 45s). If a single <45s gray is taking up 1 slot and probably won’t drop again before you sell your grays, dump it.
I’ve used my methods on new characters and usually had over 100g by level 30 or so, but since you’re starting at 30 you’ll need to catch up a bit. At lower levels (below level 50 or so) working the AH is really the fastest easiest way to make money.

Jewelcrafting and mining you can auction all your jewelery and and xtra ore sells too (plus it sells for more as an ore than a bar) . and auction everything white and above on ah. you’d be amazed what people buy. Also auction any quest items you can alot of extra items get dumped but just cause it says no sell price doesn’t mean you can’t auction it.

ok folks, you missed the part that he is LVL 30 not 70.
Personally I got my first gold as a skinner and miner.
Look at ti this way everything you kill will get you a skin and you can sell them to vendors or try selling on AH. Mining is very good even at low level ores as you always have a lot of high levels trying to power level either blacksmithing or jewlcrafting so one profession of minig is used by two productions. Supply and demand.
Keep pushing your hunter for now just as a first char and the one that will make you money .

Well, you can make some cash with your Leatherworking/Skinning, but you kind of have to know what of your wares will sell. Those pants with +spirit and +strength? Nope. Not a good stat match. This pair of gloves with +stam and +agil? Yes. Good stat match. That will sell.
Additionally, if you can stand to spend a few silver on some more reagents, you can make some pretty snazzy blue-quality pieces which are very nice. Deviate Scale Belts are always in demand, and go for (roughly) 20g. Barbaric Bracers? A little more than 20. Wolfshead helm? I’ve never had to worry about one selling for less than 40g.
If you want to be rich and not worry about it, then stop making things altogether, and focus on selling the commodities– the base items: Ore, Herbs, Skins.
There’s no shame in Jewelcrafting, and it helps out later in the game (for your pallie), but production professions definitely are a materials sinkhole. Why not take up skinning and mining or skinning and herbalism on your paladin?
If you do that, you can gather and sell as you go, and, in a pinch, send some more leather to your Hunter, who will definitely need some backup at some time.
Definitely pick up everything you can when you’re out and about in the world, and sell it. Grays go to Vendors, Greens and White go to the Auction House. Stay competetive with your pricing, but be smart enough to understand that some items have inherent value. Just because someone else put their wares up for dirt cheap doesn’t mean you have to. Wait it out, or buy theirs up and repost it at a more reasonable price.
Best of luck, and pick up and sell everything!

There are two types of professions in WoW, crafting professions, and gathering professions. 90% of the crafting professions will cost you more money (leveling) than you will make with them, at least up until max level. Gathering professions are straight profit, even if all you do is vendor your goods (not the ideal choice).
The three primary gathering professions are: skinning, mining and herbalism. Skinning – easiest to gather, least profit. Skinning can make some cash at max level, but it’s pretty much vendor bait until the heavy leather range (about where you should be now, low-mid 30′s mobs). It won’t have serious money making potential until Outlands in most economies, however.
Herbalism – more profitable, when it’s profitable. Very few herbs sell for good money until you’re in mid 40′s low 50′s zones. With the rumors of the upcoming Inscription profession in the expansion requiring herbs, there may be some long term cash in stockpiling herbs and saving them until the expansion, but that’s an unknown quantity.
Mining – most early profit, but least available. On an established server, a 20 stack of copper (easily gathered in most starting areas in a half hour or so) can typically be sold on the Auction House for a gold or more.
For a fresh toon, I like to take mining/skinning as my starting professions, for the most consistent money (skinning) and highest money per gather (mining). Once they hit a point where a new profession will be beneficial for them, then I switch their profession, typically keeping mining as the second, unless they’re moving to Leatherworking.
Happy WoWing!
