Making money on a low populated server...

[bahja]

I seen the thread named "making money" and thought, none of that works for me...

So i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to make money on a low populated server, there are maybe about 100 (if even) steady players on the server and i was thinking, how could i make money?
Ideas that i've thought of would be using teasure finding potion and killing mobs, grinding dungeons and even fishing cooking and selling the stuff to the vendor and obviously doing daily quests.

Questions could be, which mobs drops the most gold? Which mobs drops the most greys and greens that total up to a few g (possibly) per mob etc.

I was wondering if anyone else has this type of problem and if they had thought or even tried anything that makes a steady income, not that it could actually be used on my server ^^

Spend some time at the AH and see what is selling the most often. I think there's an addon that tracks all AH activity and keeps it a separate log, including what things have sold for (not just what they were posted at). Kind of like Ebay does. Once you find out what sells, and how fast, take advantage of it. You might also try to find out what everyone is complaining about not ever being able to find, and try to become a supplier. just some thoughts.

I rolled an alt on a low pop awhile back just to check it out. I went to the AH to see what they had and was appalled. Very little, if anything, for low levels and whatever else was on there was sparse and ridiculously priced. No wonder it was low pop. I dumped that alt and never returned.

I think the more pressing question is why would you want to play on a low pop server?

I play on a low pop server myself, I have been on it since the start of WoW and shouldn't have tot ransfer off it just ebcause blizzard arent doing anything. Not only that but the server I'm on has a great community, everyone is helpful and friendly and we all help each other out.

As for making money on the server - I mainly focus on Ele ore farming and do what everyone else does, prospect d/e etc. being on a low pop server the AH prices are very high (on mine its 160g for a stack of ele ore and it sells)

Micromanage, AB or farming.

I have 2 bots running on 2 separate low-med pop servers. I find that on low pop servers ore sells very well, and generally higher priced than high pop, and herbs take a very long time to sell. My advice would be uldum elementium farming.

Ive found the same raw materials are at a premium. They Tend not to sell as quick but they do sell and for sometimes twice as much as high pop servers. Also botting on Low pop in better IMHO less competion and I can be in a cata Zone for Hours and not see another soul.
