As a young Mage in my early levels I had lost count of the number of boots worn bare by the constant running back and forth to Auction House to empty my puny little bags of looted items during my daily grind for wow gold. The Dwarves of Ironforge would fall about laughing at the sight of my tiny sacs when buying a round in the Bronze Kettle and I tired of the Elves giving me sympathetic advice on how best to increase their size. But it was a Gnome who gave me sound advice and told me straight: 'Sonny, don't sell yourself short. To grind efficiently, you need to buy more bags'.



Now when it comes to the subject of bags, don't listen to those big girls the Elves, whose main use of their bags is as off-hand weapons during tavern brawls. Instead, listen to the Orcs on this matter who have a saying: 'The bigger da bags da better'.

The fact of the matter is that when it comes to wow gold farming, you need as much bag space as you can afford as early as possible. There are number ways to obtain more bags: purchase a bag, as a reward from a quest, craft them or grind them.

A quest is a task given to a character, typically by a non-player character although some fixed or dropped items may generate quests. Quests are a great way to earn gold in World of Warcraft because the reward for many quests is gold. Even if the quest reward is an item, it can generally be sold.

Once players have earned some gold, they can begin buying items at a low price and selling them for a profit. If players are willing to take the time to research items, they can make a great deal of gold by buying items when the market is low or buying high demand items at lower prices. Watching the Trade Channel is an excellent way to find great deals on items for resale because players often try to compete with the Auction House by offering lower prices. Offering a Buyout price in the Auction House also helps when earning gold by buying and selling because some players will pay more for an item if they can buy it now instead of waiting for the auction to end.

In World of Warcraft, characters are able to purchase mounts. Having a mount increases the character's ability to earn gold by increasing their speed. Mounts allow characters to harvest faster, as well as providing quicker travel from place to place.

For a 6 slot bag, try the quest 'Miner's Fortune' from the Wharf Master at Rachet, who rewards 'Old Moneybag', a 6 slot bag. For an 8 slot bag, try the quest 'Captain Sander's Booty Bag' which is only available for Alliance characters at Westfall as part of a series of quests 'Captain Sander's Hidden Treasure'.
