How do you make enough gold to pay for your game time?

I still don’t even know how to make gold effectively. I have just been skating by the game without bothering to dedicate time on making gold.

Casual gold farmers will tell you professions like herb/alch but if you want big rewards for your time its in xmog and pet farming

You get enough gold to pay for your game time by committing most of your gametime to farming gold (unlless you get super lucky with xmog items). For me, I’d rather just spend the 15 a month than spend most of my IG time hard farming gold.

Small edit. It may be easier than I’m making it seem right now with the readily available amount of gold in the game and token prices down a bit, but you get the idea.

The amount of time that it would take me to earn enough gold in this game just to buy a gametime token is far more than it takes me to earn the sub fee in real dollars in real life, so I always opt for the latter.

By having the time to do so.

Just follow the simple rule of don’t spend your money - and sell everything :). That’s how I play this virtual Econ and it works out well

I did the whole gold farming thing for a while back in BC. Used herbalism to farm motes of life in zangar marsh. Granted this was before the token by a lot, but I think the concept still applies.

It wasn’t the most efficient thing in the world, but it was never contested either. It was fairly mind numbing but it was something to do in a game I loved. Nowadays, I don’t love wow. I play it. So I just make due with what the game gives me. I mainly pvp anyway. don’t need a ton of gold for that.

If I still loved wow, i could probably find a way to farm my gametime, but there’s just better ways to spend my IG time while I’m there.

If I end up playing for an expansion release its always nice, since you can get a good year of game time through tokens with an hour or two a day for the first couple weeks.

Leveling up with Mining and Herbalism made me a lot of gold.

I bought a 12 pack and fish and chips on the way home; which cost most than the monthly subscription.

So, dancing on mail boxes I guess?

mining, herbalism or LW in legion ravsaurs/ataldazar can work too. If you have the will. I prefer herbs.

It’s not like you have to farm gold to play the game. You could just you know pay for the subscription as the majority of people are doing. If that is a problem then I have no idea why you’re even playing wow. You should have more pressing matters to attend to than playing a game.

Sell token for gold if you need the gold in game. Even fry cooks can afford it.

its called a Job

There are a lot of gold guides now, and no, they are not “just do X for one hour and it will be fine”. It takes some time to setup, but overall it’s not bad if you are willing to put in some effort.

I also recommend Dala GG’s discord for asking questions.
