On to part 2! that series of questions spans August and early September, and we’ll keep moving forward that week.

Elizabeth answers: I’m not 77 yet, so I can’t precisely address the question as asked, but I can tell you that I’ve made about 400g leveling from 70 to 72. That’s just from questing, vendoring trash & unneeded greens — and it includes some silly deaths, plenty of repair bills(I blame Dalaran for many of them!), and training a couple of professions (35g to train a primary profession to the next skill level and 100g to train a secondary profession to the next skill level).

Allie adds: I finally started keeping track of how I was doing gold-wise while leveling. On the beta I leveled a lot through instance runs considering the demand for healers was so high; on the live realms I’ve leveled mostly through questing. amidst 70 and 76 so far (remarkably fast for me but my guild starts raiding next week) I’ve made somewhere in the region of 2K gold after training, repairs, professions, etc., mostly through questing and keeping my bags as open as possible to sell vendor trash.
