Besides buying gold of course.
People like to complain about professions but they can be really good gold if you have a lot of time to advertise and reply to requests on trade chat. Being able to guarantee 5 star is usually a 5k-10k tip.

Rig the Auction house.
If you want a low effort and no risk method, make an army of alts and just do Dragonriding WQs.

Theres like 20k in world quests up every week not including dragon race bags which usually have 500g a pop.
Old raids can net some change as well though not as much as they used too unless you lucky with a sought after rare boe or pet.

I bet that really is a thing in Moonguard.
Selling carries for gold.
Buy gear with certain tertiary stats when they’re low priced and then flip them on the AH, but don’t do this if you are on Proudmoore or any other realm I play on. If you’re on Proudmoore what you need to do is post all that gear at a low price while I’m online and in Valdrakken

ive been wondering about this too. if the legendary drops for this paladin, i wouldn’t be able to afford to make it lol.
Yeah crafting is an excellent gold source. You can make a lot of gold just whispering players requesting recrafts in trade chat, when you’re idling in Valdrakken.
Other than playing the most recent expansion, I couldn’t tell you.
Yea with you guys saying crafting is the way to go are leaving out one giant detail. The fact that you have to spend a crap ton time and effort unlocking everything in the crafting trees and chasing down the recipes. Good luck with that on seeing a return anytime soon.
Buy some shovels and dig dirt. You will be surprised how much grey items are worth when you vendor them.
i actually got recomended this sweet way of doing it. do the races. do the gold world quests. gies a solid chunk of change if you do it on multiple characters

This is common fallacy when people think you need all trees unlocked and filled to have profitable profession.
About 2/3 of all profession points are not needed since noone needs those crafts or rarely. Trick is in putting points only in trees associated with crafts people want.

Since no one say it i am going to. Farm and sell heroic raid boe s!!! I just started two weeks ago made 1.5 million gold and bought epic edition world within expansion. 1 boe is like 1 wow token
In alchemy you need to unlock the whole of all the trees to have the skills to make everything at max quality, and there are a couple that can only be made at max quality with Illustrious Insight even though you have all available points. Which means you need to spend your mettel to make the insights. Mettle is a finite resource, you only get so much every week and thats it.
I’m sure other professions are the same. Every point counts and if you want to make R5 crafts you need every point you can get.
Alchemy is very competitive profession and margins are slim atm, but there are always few recipes which makes some gold. Mettle crafting is mostly profitable, but as mettle is finite it dont last much. And yes, alchemy needs a lot of points to max one phial recipe to be profitable only with insight. All this are reasons I dont bother with Alchemy.
Other crafting professions have some recipes that require much less KP (time) and offer much larger margins.
Depends on the amount of time you’re willing to invest and what your time is worth.
If you’re online all the time just farm up 100k-ish gold doing WQ or whatever and then start flipping on the AH.
If your play time is restricted or you value your time you really can’t beat buying it.
Entire design is currently to motivate cash shop gold buys
Other big ones are selling carries for gold or joining the auction house flipping game against a zillion botters
Every other method is, by design, gonna be huge increases in /timeplayed in return for very little fun and a mediocre or disappointing amount of gold relative to how much 5 minutes of your time equals on the cash shop gold
