I've seen a lot of guild chat from folks that haven't got enough gold to get by and for anyone with a level 85 that to me is hard to believe.

As someone that isn't short of gold I thought I'd pass on my tips to always ensure you have enough gold to keep you moving along and hopefully to get you to the point that you can lavish your main and alts with all the goodies you dream of.

The commonly accepted reason for the appearance of the Black Market Auction House (BMAH) is that it will provide a money sink for all those rich players who have spent the past 7 years mastering the WoW Economy on their servers and have so much gold that if they want anything in game they can simply buy it and because of this players getting rare items sell things a super inflated prices like mounts for 200,000 gold and more. Heck on my home server a guild is selling boosts to HC Madness for 900,000 gold and people are paying it.

In my previous post, I discussed the BMAH and some concerns I had about it this time I'm going to look at the impact it will have on the prices on your local auction house. Hopefully you'll have read my last article so I won't repeat myself. If you didn't I'll cry but I'll give you a shot at redemption as you can go read it here! Even if the items are soul/account bound I don't think it will absorb the gold from the economy or lower regular AH prices

Blizzard have placed a new auction house in teh Mists of Pandaria beta called the Black Market Auction House (BMAH) and it has generated a lot of talk around the WoW community around Blizzard's reasons for introducing and what impact it will have on the game, players and gold making in general. Today I'm going to give my thoughts on it as a feature and soon I'll follow this up with a look at how it will affect gold making.

So what exactly is it? Well it is an auction house just like the one you'll find in Stormwind or Orgrimmar but unlike those you'll not be able to post items there yourself but you will be able to bid on items that are posted on there by NPCs. Items that are appearing there in teh beta are rare mounts, impossible to get armor (like the original tier 3 from Naxxramas) and other hard/impossible to get items.

Making gold in Cataclysm has not been hard you herb, mine or skin and post your daily gatherings on the AH right? Sure its one way and I did this on day 1 and made a lot of gold in the process. But I'm not one for stating the obvious.

Great success has also been had with Netherweave Bags, my poor old mage has been crafting literally hundreds of bags to keep up with the increased demand over the holiday period and at 7g profit per bag its a handsome profit. My scribe too has found excellent sales with glyphs  of around 2,000g per day. But the best ROI (both gold and time) has been something different and rather unexpected.

I took 50 Volatile Life, 12 Cinderbloom, 12 Azshara's Veil and 12 Heartblossom and ended up with 3000g profit but to take advantage you must be an alchemist and an enchanter.

This post has been specifically written for inclusion in the November Wow Gold Blogging Carnival over at Just My Two Copper, while not specifically a gold making blog I do from time to time cover my gold making activities in posts.

As the end of Wrath nears I have focused more in-game time on learning the finer details of the art of gold making and along the way have found many resources, made some nice profits and had a lot of fun. It has generally been easy (if a little time consuming - glyph making and bag making is painfully dull and slow yay for afk crafting though) however, it hasn't been without mistakes.

You'll all be glad to know that this post has very little to do with David Beckham or Jasper Carrot, but rather a neat trick if you are levelling an alt at around level 40 - 42 BEFORE Cataclysm comes and want to earn yourself a few gold too by farming  Big Mouth Clams for Golden Pearls in a cave on the Isle of Dread, the best place (according to Wowhead).

This will only be relevant until patch 4.0.3 comes as the island that we are going to is disappearing.
