Auction Hourse Gold Mine

You can make consistent gold in the auction house. Here is how is can be done:

In Arathi Highlands there is a location called Stromgarde Keep - if you use cosmosui the coordinates are: 26,58. Now, this area is half controlled by the alliance and half controlled by reds that attack on sight. But if you are careful you can avoid the reds.

The entire arathi highlands zone is level 30-35 mobs but the keep is level 35+ elite mobs so you want to avoid fighting if you can. Anyway, to make it simple to keep going back here, I go to Refuge Pointe at 45,47 on the map. There is a griffon guy there. This point hooks up directly to the griffon master in IronForge where the AH is. So after getting the griffon point established I can fly from Ironforge to refuge pointe and back again.

There are level 30+ mobs in this zone, but the nice thing is, there is a patrol that moves along the road that heads south from refuge pointe and follows the road all the way to Stromgarde Keep. So the road is usually cleared of reds for you. Just keep an eye out for them .

If you are over level 30, you can probably handle it on your own. So, you basically want to take the road south out of refuge pointe and once you hit the road where you can go east or west you want to go west. Follow that road until you get to a road between two lakes. That is Stromgarde Keep. (you should see it on your map now.) You take that road into Stromgarde Keep.

This is the tricky part. People might be fighting the reds in here, so just watch out for their battles. When you first enter the Keep, you are in a courtyard. Hug the wall that is on your right hand side (the west wall), that is the Alliance side of the keep. Now, the very first right that you can make once you enter the courtyard, you take that... you will know you are in the right spot because you will see a bunch of green guards. Basically now, you want to take the road all the way back and then to the right, and follow the walls.

Eventually you will see an opening in the wall with a walkway over the entrance you originally came in. Take that walkway over to the other side, It will still be green. Now once you are across, hang a right and another right. You are looking for the NPC vendor named Deneb Walker.

The vendor that sells the Expert first aid book. It costs a gold piece. But you can sell it on the auction house for at least 1.5 gp and often 2 gp. You are here to buy the two other books he sells. The one that only costs you 22 sp and 50 sp. The manual for mageweave bandage and the manual for the heavy silk bandage. Now remember that 22sp and 50 sp you just spent. Well, those books sell on my auction house for 1.9-2.2gp EACH. So take a look on the auction house for the books (under the name field you can enter MANUAL and click on RECIPE and then click SEARCH. See what your auction price is for these items)

This works because first aid is one of those skills that every single character can have because it is a secondary skill, every one buys these things.
