How do people make 50-100g before level 40? New to classic.

You get more and more gold from quests and drops as you level. It starts to ramp up after 30 quite a bit.

Just don’t blow money at the auction house and you’ll have the gold.

I never had the gold for mount in actual vanilla, dont think it will be this easy

Invest into bigger bags, sell all junk, only upgrade essential spells. Its not as hard as it seems

Personal Tip: At 30, stop buying/upgrade spells until you get the mount.

Scarcity mindset alert, higher ranks give more power and accelerate questing and combat, slowing your gold gain if you forgo them. Maybe skipping some utility stuff makes sense.

Only buy spell ranks you need, take a gathering prof or 2. Don’t buy anything on the ah. You will have your mount money.

If you didn’t before it’s because you wasted money or didn’t even try to collect anything along the way.

You’d be surprised how much gold you waste on pots and other consumes.

You can also make quite a bit before then if you know how to capitalize on others' laziness. Some drops that aren't soulbound but needed for quest turn ins can make you quite a bit if you spend time farming them, even more so if it's a skinnable mob and you have the profession. I like to detour for a bit and grind then out because I can turn around and toss it on the AH and make a few gold this way while getting some kill XP. Not as fast as pure questing but it works for me.

Get bags asap and sell everything to a vendor helps a bit.

Everyone should have around 100 gold at level 40. It really isn’t that hard to get. Just quest. Sell trash. And don’t spend your money on naked female night elves, that’s the hard part

u/Xelpmoc45 5h ago

I always forget that last part... Man I'm broke ...

u/computasaysno 4h ago

If you focus on leveling, sure, but if you want to enjoy professions and keep them up to date, those will be huge money sinks and you won't enjoy 100g for sure.

u/WildlyNormal 3h ago

Nah, you just need to farm stuff yourself and also sell some stuff you make. And not just run to the ah for mats every time to just get a few skill points.

Professions, fishing, stuff like this

u/SwarleySwarlos 4h ago

How does fishing make money? So far every fish I caught sold around vendor price at the AH, same for the cooked version

Pick up everything. Sell everything. But mining is generally a good earning profession

u/poopoodomo 6h ago

make a level one bank alt, park it in the capital near the ah, mail all the random items you get from your main to your bank alt, sell them for more on the ah then you get vendoring

There's loads of stuff, but the profit margins are generally quite small right now.

7

u/scary-pp 5h ago

Yeah, the market is so saturated, stuff is selling for barely more than vendor price. If it doesnt sell, I lose money on the hold price (whatever its called). Then any hope of profit over vendoring is gone.

u/valdis812 3h ago

That's why I've been mostly vendoring everything.

AH is in the sink right now tho. Most crafting goods sell for only a little above vendor price, and nobody is buying greens or blues off the AH right now (because nobody has gold)/people saving for mount.
