Tooling around in the Auction House, buy low sell high. I used to do it, it's by far the least effort/most gold return, but you have to be non-retarded. Otherwise there's all sorts of stuff you can do...dailies give a lot of gold but obviously you can only do 24 or 25 per day, but that's like an easy 2k gold.

Farming low level crafting mats is another good way...transmog gear, anything really. I dunno what's the >best< though so I dunno there. Gold is stupid easy to get nowadays though. I transferred onto Lightning's Blade with like...4k and now I've got 45000 or something and I don't even go out to try and farm for gold, I just get it doing normal everyday playing. :p

Well that excludes you from doing it bro!

Gold is really easy to come by in the game, even if you don't farm/play the AH you still acquire quite a bit by just playing the game.

IMO one of the easiest and least time consuming way to get gold is by soloing old content. In about 2-3 hours you can clear AQ20, most of AQ40, MC, Mag, most of SSC, most of Kara, potentially Gruul, and TK. Even without Gruul, Kara and TK clearing the old stuff tonight brought me about 3.5k. Unfortunately you can only do it once a week, but it's a pretty quick gold influx.

All of this is assuming you don't play some terrible class that wears cloth or anything.

Also as toren said, dailies are a pretty reliable income. If you cap out on dailies every day for a week, you make roughly 3k.

Just activated a scroll a friend sent me, having fun playing a little casually in casting/sc2 downtime. I'm on the Oceanic server Barthilas though... if I transfer over would you guys accept in an (at the moment) casual hunter? :D

Edit: To elaborate; I played for about 3.5 years before, main as a prot warrior on Jubeithos, raiding quite a lot through TBC and the majority of WOTLK. Got up to 85 on my warrior and my other hunter, gave up just before SC2 hit, haven't really been back since then. A lot has come about! Any hunters around who'd be willing to give me some tips (at the moment my "scroll of res" hunter on barthilas is level 81) - would be appreciated.

whats the best way to farm gold right now and how much gold / hr could you get doing it?

Auction House. If you're lucky farming ore/herbs/leather you might make a thousand gold an hour or so. I routinely make about 30k/hour on the AH (usually a bit more on weekends and Tuesday nights) and on patch days that number can be much, much higher. I made about 700k the day 4.2 was released with only a few hours of actual effort.

Expansions are even higher, though I've never actually been playing at the release of an expansion. I know people that have hit the gold cap 3-4 times over in the first week after an expansion launches.

There is a lot of upfront investment, though. You have to learn your server's prices for basically everything, learn your competitors inside and out (posting patterns, what they sell, who their alts are, where they get their supplies, etc), and have some dedication. The more gold you have the more gold you make. Don't expect to make much of anything at first if you only have a few thousand gold to invest. I generally spend a few hundred thousand gold per week on things I need.

come over to our server, talk to Solidux / Tholidux, he's a great hunter. Ripxuzi is also pretty good. we're accepting anyone and everyone, don't have to raid or PVP or anything. No obligations here other than logging in more than once a week or two :p

Yeah they're pretty cool guys, I leveled a hunter over there and got caught up with work and other stuff so I'm sure they've kicked my hunter by now, but you should enjoy it.

I may look to join a raiding team later on, it'll kind of depend what happens with my IRL job and of course SC2 casting - but I understand the requirements for that anyway, we'll see what happens! :D

Yes, not a lot, at this point everyone pretty much burnt out and waiting for Mists. Usually 9-13 on during raid times...usually pretty quiet otherwise.
