I’m a relatively new player (I played on and off in the past) and I was wondering how people make gold in Dragonflight.
I have 2 chars on 70 and I tried to farm some herbs/ore for gold but the prices on the AH are super low. Leveling up other professions seems expensive and I can’t see how I can earn some gold unless they’re maxed out.
Youtube told me to run dungeons for rare transmogs - did that, got 3 which were considered rare but no one wants to buy them. Been trying to sell them for 2 months or so. Same with battle pets. The market seems very slow or non existant.
I do world quests and the weekly but I seem to be missing something. I remember that gold used to come in from dailies and farming old content but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Any advice?
Anything BFA or newer vendors decently and you can solo those dungeons to sell the drops.
I usually just do the racing world quests since at a certain point between raid prog/gearing → weekly reclear gold has minimal value where you just passively accumulate it.
But I also transmog farm old raids and despite being slow 5-10k a week adds up overtime when you have been playing for long enough.
ore/herbing isn’t too bad, its not the ore/herbs (unless writhebark or bubble poppy) sell for a decent price. It’s the rousing elements that are the real sellers.
If you have tuskarr rep up and can see the tackle boxes, those have really good junk sellers as well as fish in them.
If old content farming is what you want to do, OLD LFR’s legion + will make you some quick coin, although not as much as it used to.
Quests, run old raids and instances on various toons. I usually do that for a while then just break down and buy a couple of tokens if I can’t keep up with time to farm and “work load” from progressing my toons.
if either of them can tank and you like to tank, keep an eye out for tank bonuses in LFG. right now, heroics and normal (seems normal even more frequently) pop up with bonuses.
You won’t get mega rich, but the runes you get (2-4 each run) sell for ~1500g each. so you make a couple of thousand gold for 10-15 minutes of playing.
for me, this feels like “playing the game” rather than simply “farming”.
also skinning isn’t great, but it doesn’t suck either. the mobs you skin also drop vendor items.
