TGIF – Low Level Leather Farming
It’s nice to mix things up sometimes. There’s plenty of gold to be made just by farming high level or end game zones and mobs. But sometimes you can make coin by working over the old school zones. People level so quickly that they often don’t spend very much time in the zones, and miss out on some lucrative gold making opportunities. Take stacks of leather, for example. I still see medium leather selling for a small fortune. People don’t bother farming it because they just don’t want to spend the time. I’ve let skinning lapse on many leveling characters for that same reason. If I only would have taken the time to stop and smell the roses, or in this case gut and skin the animals, my character would not only have had adequate skinning skills but a nice pile of gold on top of it.
Let this be a lesson to you – a sharp knife can make you money, regardless of your level.
TGIF – Skinning in Black Morass
Remember awhile back when I said that it was tough to make gold at the end of an expansion? Well, about that…
Selling gear and items can be tough. The only folks buying that are usually people who are gearing alts. However, those alts are going to have professions to level up. At this point, players have two options – pay $60 for a boost to Level 90 (which will max out the two primary professions and First Aid) (As long as the character is at least level 60 before the boost — Editor), or save sixty bones and hit the AH to buy mats for leveling it up the old fashioned way.
If you look on the AH, chances are you’ll see that the raw mats sell for more than the processed mats do. Ore is more valuable than bars, for example. Well Knothide Leather can be tough to come by, and people will need it. So if you want to make bank, and you have a sharp knife, and hate Gators, Black Morass in the Caverns of Time might be the place for you.
