I dance in front of the auction house for gold. These pecs bring in the gold.

During holiday events if there is a mount I farm whatever is needed to get the mount and rinse and repeat on my alts. Emissaries give out good gold, Running old raids and selling some boes.

I started a week ago on a mission to earn money, had 10K in my pocket and now… 170K and 400K worth of mats on the AH, not even going to count how much I have in my bank and my alts bank an my other alts bank and my other alts bank, it gets ridiculous how fast you can accumulate wealth.

But don’t expect even for one minute players who can make that kind of money are going to tell you how they do it otherwise everyone would do it and than it would be worth nothing.

Like those farming spots where you can semi-afk farm and amass things like Meaty Haunch which sell for quite a bit on the AH, you find a spot, you tell someone, they tell someone, eventually it is posted online on a forum or a 10 minute ad riddled YouTube video and than Blizzard nerfs it to the point it no longer works.

Gathering professions are usually fairly decent gold generators. I know on our realm ore prices tend to run pretty high. If you’ve picked up mining, you might want to look into selling either ore or bars.

Very true. This is the same in real life too. The rich people know to keep their secrets and it is their ability to keep those secrets making them rich.

Playing the ah game and selling professions stuff like herbs, ore, enchants, and raid supplies.

There’s also selling mogs, pets, etc, farming old content for gold, and selling carries to other players.

You will find more information on gold making by visiting the WoWEconomy subreddit, Reddit. com/r/WowEconomy

  1. Paragon chests will net you about 4k gold each so do world quests and such to earn the boxes.
  2. MOP and WOD lfrs will bring in about 18k per week per toon and are pretty fast. When doing MSV and HoF kill and loot everything, they all drop pretty good gold. The adds in the The rest of the raids not so much so, but you’ll get a ton of gear to sell (Tier is 50g each) and you’ll get between 39-60 gold per boss kill.
  3. Herbs - The herbs that are used in flasks sell the best

Final XPAC Mats, Mining, Herbalism, Skinning, Cloth that can be sold, Disenchanting gear and selling the mats, Some people are just too lazy to go out and get the mats themselves and just buy them off the auction house, I haven’t had to pay for game time since 2015 by doing this.

I have found that farming dollars irl is less excruciating than playing the game and farming gold.

It’s not really lazy - it’s time efficiency. Most wealthy crafters buy mats and sell the end product. Let the farmers do the farming.

I gather on my lowbies when they’re out leveling cuz big XP for picking a flower or smashing a rock, but for serious craft leveling, I buy bulk mats.

The real way to make money is multiboxing.

Get yourself a good job, get 5 PC’s, or 3 that can run 5 versions of WoW, run them all on Herbalism and watch the money come in. Once you set it all up you can use the money made to keep your 5 characters running for free and than some.

But by the same token running one character to fund one account, the difference is 5 characters can farm things like M2-6 (depending on the dungeon and week) over and over and give yourself every item that drops in the place to also sell, just use 5 hunters, the pets can be used to tank the boss, when they start dying res them.

Plus there is the 2x4 farming method, 4 monks. There is so much you can do outside gathering if you used 5 characters on your own that can make so much money with so little effort.

Running the old pandaria raids and wod raids can help, though it can be time consuming.

I think there are 7 or 8, each with 8-14 bosses, that drop 50 gold per boss. We’ll say 10 bosses a raid means 500 gold. 500 x 8 = 4000gold. the epic loot itself that drops can be vendored for 2.5-3 k per raid. 3000 x 8 = 24000. this also increases if you choose to run each difficulty level from normal to heroic to mythic, starting with siege of orgrimmar, to HFC, meaning you have 4 more raid instances to run, albeit less gold per boss due to decreased difficulty. All the same, 500 x 4 = 2000 gold, and from loot 2500 x 4 = 10 000.

In total, 4000 + 2000 +24 000+10 000 = $40 000/week. That’s a ballpark number mind you, but it is simply from running old content and vendoring the loot. Not to mention rare mounts and mogs that may drop for your character.

that number can also reach 60-70k if you still have stamina to run further prior content.

I personal do

  • Old raids (lfr, heroic and mythic (SoO - WoD))
  • Mine & herbalism
  • WQ from BfA and Legion (picky with them though)
  • Scrap gear for mats
  • Still turn in bloods
  • Garrison and MoP farm on all alts

I’ve been doing these more often due to Zandalari (2 toons I’m planning to change) getting closer and I only pay for WoW with gold now. If things go well, usually 200k+ per week.
