So for background info my daughter is in Uni and says she would lile to take another run at the game so we can communicate while we are apart. What’s the easiest way and most cost effective as I have lots of gold that I can send her.
with the token rules change she would need to buy a month first then send her the gold on the same realm and faction unless you have a personal guild for a banker toon
I probably wouldn’t. The game is pretty rough right now between all of the bugs and endgame difficulty. Maybe if they are able to sort things out mid expansion I’d give it a go.

Figured she would need to subscribe for the first month but can she do that on a trial account and yes I have my own personal guilds on 3 servers. Just trying to avoid paying for the full retail price when I have the gold to avoid that if I can.
Don’t get me wrong, I can pay for it but after 16 years I have a ton of gold that I rarely spend except for game time and the expansions.
she can make a trial account up to level 20 or 30 then she need to pay for a sub
but a trial account has limitations also

It’s more for us to interact while she is away. It’s not going to be hardcore but more fun. She did make a character on my account 9 years ago but she was young and lost interest pretty quick back then.
Starter edition and don’t buy the expansion. Then pay for a month of game time. And then gift her game time if she continues.
Guessing she won’t be able to buy tokens herself. Can I gift them in anyway.
You can gift her Bnet balance or 60 days of game time. All you need is the email address attached to her Bnet account to send it to her.
I don’t know anything about token/gold interactions, just wanna say that this is cute to see and I hope it’s a good bonding tool for you two!

I gave up on that one long time ago. I built a strong desktop gaming pc almost as powerful as mine for my daughter. She never liked WoW. She transformed the PC into a studio PC, asked me to buy her Studio-like Lights and stole my DSLR Camera.
But we still go out from time to time whenever she’s in town… dinner, movies, Disneyland, beach or Vegas. Her past boyfriends envy my WoW toon since she told them I am with WoW since Vanilla as hardcore and still kicking today but now Casual…
Thank you. I have a good bond with both of my Girls, just my youngest is away from home and she feels this would be good for us to connect more.
Edit: This was her suggestion.

One option could be. If she has an account created. If its a starter account.
Check to see if she can log into the game, access the WoW token on the Auction house.
If she can use the Auction House to buy one token. She can buy as many are requited to pay for the expansion with Battlenet balance.
In Canada we get $22 Battlenet balance per 200k(ish) in game currently.
You would need to send her starting character the gold to buy the tokens.
(Last minute edit. I dont know if starter accounts follow the same logic as class trials. Being unable to send items / mail, use the AH.)
You have a few steps to verify there. I havent done so myself. I dont see why it wouldnt work outside starter accounts maybe not being able to access the Auction House.
The WoW token part I am not certain about for a starter account.
My daughter plays Genshin Impact and I’ve already lost the battle.
