Gold Making Tip #5 – Mining and Jewelcrafting
September 17, 2008 by Zuggy
This weeks gold farming tip is really more of a preview of a major concept I’d like to setup with my next video. Which details how we can use mining and jewelcrafting together to make a lot of gold through the process of auction house speculation, prospecting, crafting and ore farming.
In my opinion mining is the one of the most profitable professions currently out there. Granted, it has to be used and I really think is where most players just miss the boat. There’s a common misconception that to farm crazy gold per hour you just go wave a magic wand and poof…gold. In the immortal words of President George W. Bush…
if there was a magic wand, I’d wave it…(lawl bushisms)
But back to the topic at hand. Mining is pretty crazy as far as gold farming is concerned, in my experience just an hour worth of ore farming per day could yield 300-400g. It’s an excellent source of income I’ve used for years now and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a pretty easy profession you can use to bring in constitent and repeated profits.

Nerf Copper Ore. I swear in Zul’jin’s current economy it’s really OP on the auction house. I recently started leveling JC, because I wanted the Shadowsong panther, but at the prices people were selling copper(almost 15g a stack) I decided to simply farm Deadmines over and over again. From a solid hour I got 80 ore and 70ish tin ore as well. I don’t know what I’m going to do about higher level ore…
MIning and skinning made me enough gold to buy my epic flyer shortly after I hit 70. I wasn’t being particularly careful with my gold up to that point, either.
Seems to me that is Copper is going for a premium then there’s an opportunity there to earn some dough. At some point some farmers will flood the market causing a price crash. That’s when you buy it if you’re leveling skills with it.
