Make WoW Gold From Cross Faction Trading

A great way to make lots of WoW gold is by trading items from horde to alliance or Vice-versa. First we'll go through the steps of actually trading the items from one faction to the other. Unless you own two WoW accounts, you will need a friend to help you. This is because you cannot bid on your own auction, even if it's posted on another character. What you need to do is create a character on the opposing faction. If you need to transfer gold to the other character, you must travel to a neutral auction house. There is one in Booty Bay, Gadgetzan and Everlook.

Post a useless gray item for however much gold you want to transfer. Then buy it while on your main character, remember you need a friend or two accounts to do this. It is important to note that the neutral auction house takes a 15% cut of every transaction.

Now that you have some gold on the new character, check out the auction house in one of it's cities. If something it selling for less on one side than the other you could buy it, then transfer the item using the same method as you did to transfer gold. Make sure you buy your own item quickly before someone else does.

Another way to make wow gold by cross faction trading is to buy items that are available from a vendor on one faction, but not on the other. A good example of this is cooking recipes. Since the achievement system came out, some people try to get all the recipes they can, and they are willing to spend lots of gold if they have to.

The following cooking recipes can only be purchased by alliance players: Beer Basted Boar Ribs, Westfall Stew, Gooey Spider Cake, Crocolisk Gumbo, Redridge Goulash, Blood Sausage, Seasoned Wolf Kabob, Goretusk Liver Pie, and Murloc Fin Soup.

These cooking recipes can only be purchased by horde players: Crispy Bat Wing, Lynx Steak, Scorpid Surprise, Roasted Kodo Meat, Strider Stew, Heavy Crocolisk Stew, Crispy Lizard Tail, Hot Bat Bites, and Lion Chops.

Once you buy a cooking recipe from a vendor, it can be sold for considerably more to the other faction through the neutral auction house. For example, "Recipe: Crocolisk Gumbo" can be bought for only 16 silver in Stormwind, but can be sold for 20gold or more to the other faction. The prices vary for different realms and different times of the week.

These techniques to make WoW gold take practice to master. Some people are very successful at it, and others not so much. Now it's time for you to give it a try, and see how much gold you earn from cross faction trading!
