We're going to give you some guides for Gold-making. For saving up for your mount, and other items, you'll want to apply these principals to make sure your Gold-flow works for you.
Here's the big view of how to make Gold in Lotro:
In the auction house, if you have the patience you can keep a constant eye out for bargains, buy them up and resell them. Sometimes people will put stuff up dirt cheap for a quick sale. If you are quick and constantly monitoring the auction house you can make LOTRO gold from other people's impatience.
People don't like to wait never start your auction at the auction house minimum bid - it takes too many bids to move the price up. People don't like to bid large amounts because they think bidding in small increments will get them a better deal. I like to set the minimum bid at a little bit below what I think the item is worth then put a Buy It Now for over what it's worth.
If there are many just wait it out. If you just have to put it up don't undercut the competition and sell yourself short! Most of the time, you are better off not undercutting because it lowers the prices. Be patient. Your item will sell eventually.
There are a lot of items in lotro and it would take allot of time and experience to know what everything is worth. Select one area you enjoy and focus on that. After a while you'll know how much you can sell and for what price.
So you should not go crazy at the auction house! This requires much willpower and self control. We know you need that next best item, but don't loose sight of your main goals! Have a plan of action. If you want that house that costs 1/7/15 gold or that pony that costs 4 gold then you better behave yourself at the auction house. Stick with that quested loot item and you'll have more to spend on that big item later.
Loot everything for gold sounds simple, but you might be surprised by how many people don't pick up the junk loot. All that junk that doesn't seem worth much, adds up to allot when put together. Take the time to make the extra trips to a vendor to sell all the junk items for gold. If you have to start tossing stuff out, be sure to toss out the least valuable stuff first.
The Gathering professions are mining and foresting. You can do both of these if you train to become an explorer. Of the three professions, mining is often claimed to be the best gold maker. Foresting requires you to buy wax to treat your wood and often a stack of treated wood will sell for less than a stack of smelted ore. At the time of this writing the cheapest stack of 50 treated rowan is selling for 120 silver and the cheapest stack of 50 bronze for 200 silver. But if you're deciding between mining and foresting, keep in mind that foresters can also boil leather as well as gather wood. Buying unboiled leather to boil for profit can make you a bit of silver, but we still don't think it's enough to make up the price difference between foresting and mining.
Crafting is not going to be very profitable right away. It actually costs allot of gold to build up your crafting profession. It costs gold to buy the recipes and if you don't have the gathering profession needed to make the crafted items, then it costs you even more.
It is often recommended that you wait until higher levels when you have more gold saved up from playing to invest in a crafting profession.
