Hello! im returning to wow after a break. My goal is to make some gold so i can be prepared for TBC launch… I got my lvl 60 resto shaman with Phase 1 gear. Full MC / Ony gear.
300/300 enchanting / tailoring.
But Im wondering what the best way to farm gold is for a healer atm?
I tried to sell some enchants but noticed that the “auto whisper mob” is taking literally everyone who writes in trade/world chat.
I got around 300 gold atm and only 60% mount.
I’m thankful for all the tips i can get right now since TBC is around the corner soon 
If im beeing honest most people are buying gold. If you have a mage you can try boosting, thats really lucrative. But any gathering professions are bad because of bots. You can do some dungeon farms if you have Mining, for example Dire Maul East. But otherwise i dont really see a way around buying gold tbh.
Fishing - easy gold and you can watch Strictly whilst doing it
Do remaining green/yellow quests at max level for bonus gold. That’s over 1000 gold on average, then, fishing, herb/alchemy.
Don’t bother doing this, bad advice sorry you’ll make much more just farming rather than wasting time and effort doing quests for minimal returns.
First thing you want to do as a tailor is use your Mooncloth CD on CD and sell your Mooncloth every 4 days.
Now since your a Resto Shaman that means your best method of making gold is befriending a well geared Warrior and doing Strat Live orb runs - You can do these 2 man if the Warrior is R14 and split the orbs or go 3 man to speed it up.
You could level herbalism and do DME Jump runs with a Warrior who has mining, then you take the herbs and he takes the rich thorium and split the blues you can DE/sell. You’re looking to get Black lotus from the herbs you gather. This will also give you felcloth when you kill Satyrs for your mooncloth CD as well as Demonic runes for raids.
You could also set up a PuG AQ20 run and state trash drops/books are HR unless they SR them. You’ll end up with a bunch greens/blue BoEs, idols and books you can sell in AH. Obviously you’ll have to lead the raid and know how to use Gargul etc.
It gives bonus gold at max level, and it’s not minimal. He won’t be farming instances all the time.
Which is one mooncloth on a server that had mooncloth for many months and soon the CD will be gone.
They do but it’s still not worth the time and effort you would have to put in to complete those quests especially as a healer just the travel time alone without counting quests that have low drop rates.
Also he’s a tailor so he might as well use the CD? It may be gone soon but it’s still there for now and on my server you can make 13-15g profit which isn’t bad for just clicking a button every 4 days.
What server are you on? On PvE the material prices absolutely cratered over last few weeks as everyone stopped wasting money on Naxx and just waits for TBC. Doing jump runs or strat orbs is like 50g per hour or less now.
All I can say is just swallow your pride get a Pro Enchanters autoinviter addon and prepare to write a lot of apologies about not having 30sp, 55hp, 4stats, AQ glove enchants etc.
Or swallow your pride even more and just do what Chewingbones said. I can tell you honestly 95% of players get away with it. And if not you just get 2 weeks slap on a wrist and gold deleted. Just get the gold on your main directly and don’t transfer it anywhere. All the people who got caught it was after they portioned the gold to alts, tried to faction transfer it over neutral AH, traded thousands to a guildies or such things.
It is what it is. Or just wait 2 months for TBC when the game becomes infinitely better.
Enchanting loopholes.
Made like 6000g with little effort that way. It’s on Spineshatter so I can’t guarantee it will work on Thunderstrike where economic situation is different.
So people Are just straight up giving advice on how to buy gold on the official forums.
Pretty cool.
Here’s three farming methods but as someone said the prices have cratered and the farms aren’t as great.
Sand worms in silithus for the meat.
Fur logs in winter spring for firewater
Stonescake eel fishing either in azhara or tanaris.
The first two can be highly contested though. Good luck

You at 60?
Yes- run AQ20 and ZG every reset, each is about 15g plus and random sellables you get. That’s 30g every 3 days.
Got any profession cooldowns to sell?
Got gathering professions to sell mats?
Run high level dungeons, places with humanoids will drop more gold/cloth.
If 60, high end quests give good gold.
Absolutely avoid buying anything until you hit 70. Even then watch the prices, they jump around at the start
Spending one hour, potentially with wipes to loot 15g? That’s not very efficient.
I wont tell my gold farm spot.
But others are:
Encrypted twillight text/robes(check prices before farming them)
Fishing
Elemental earths
Air elemntal
Water elemental
Fire elementals
Blasted lands farming stuff for roids etc
Mining (if you cannot find good spots try mithril nodes)
Herbs (inside dme) or just out in the world.
Healing service
Worms in silthius
Buy cheap green/blue gear from ah and de it to more expensive enchat mats.
