WoW Gold guide: Farming AH- Twink Gear

This method is very similar to the regular auction house farming, except it takes less time and seems to profit more. You put yourself less at risk for loss and have the chance for more gain.

As a brief explanation of what I am talking about, it is a method to make thousands of gold in even one sitting, depending on your server and time. I've spent close to 1,000-2,000 gold doing this, and made about 9,000 gold+the loss, over the past few months alone, with just one of my farming servers.

Basically, you head to your local Auction House on any toon you have, I recommend a level one toon with about 100-200g on it. Try to do it during the later server hours, as there are less people attempting to beat you to this, and people also tend to just empty their bags into the auction house at the end of the day, leaving some skewed prices.



Open the auction house and, right away, set the maximum wearable level to 39 and the quality to rare, so you get nothing higher.

Now, quite simply, you just search for anything, epic or blue, and check the prices. If you notice an item going for a suspiciously low amount, quickly check it on Wowhead or Thottbot and compare the prices. Most likely, there are a bunch of twink items going for their regular 100-200g price; however, if you're lucky, you can find items going for single digit gold, or even silver, which can be resold for hundreds.

You're following the basic idea of farming the auction house; however, you're not looking for the level 70 items which, these days, can go for next to nothing and seem to be getting farmed constantly. Plus, you are not at risk of having wasted your money. You're not going for those epics for 300g and hoping to resell for 600g, you're grabbing blue gear for 10g and hoping to resell for 100g. Worst comes to worst, you wasted 10g, rather than 300g.

It may seem like you're making less gain, but you're not. The blue twink gear is much more common a grab- and, since it drops in low level zones, most of the people who get the twink gear are just going to list it for a few gold, as they don't know any better.


An example of how promising this could be is:
Yesterday, while I was doing the daily check, I found a pair of Troll Bane's Leggings for 90 silver, which I just resold for 400g. When I checked the auction house, once again, I found another pair of the same pants for 10g. They're up in the auction house for 400g, again. I currently have about 10 auctions, all of which I spent no more than 20g on, equaling to about 1,000-2,000g~. The only slightly downside of selling twink gear is, it's going to take a little bit more time to sell than some 70 gear. Patients is key for this.

I've been doing this on several servers for a long time, leaving me to find a few things to be best with this. It's far safer, financially, than higher level farming, it's much quicker (five minutes, maximum), and it's more profitable than doing dailies, even. Also, if you're on a low population server- this works all the better. On a high population, competition seems to be pretty fierce. I usually have one person running against me- so I just keep making them lower their bids until I buy theirs out and sell them both for a much higher prices. On a low population, it isn't a race. You set the bar and no one has the gear to run against you.
