10k gold or 20k gold or either work to where you won’t have to be worried for 1-2 characters for the first few months?
If you believe the doom and gloom floating around here if you are not gold capped you wont be able to afford anything! But I think 10k would be fine. 20k probably overkill unless you want to craft a bunch of stuff.
Im going in with 200g because I hate myself apparently.

If you want epic flying on 2 toons that’ll cost you 10k

At least 1K so you can level and train abilities without issue. Toss in another 1K to get your normal flying.
After that, just cash farm as normal to get epic flying.

You make a fair bit of gold leveling. I’d say 5k is a good goal if you are planning on mainly playing one character, 10k for two. You can get by with less, but that covers your epic flying mount cost before you make any gold leveling. Not to mention you’ll need to level professions.

In the original TBC, I was enchanting and skinning until 70, then swapped to leatherworking. I used my skinning to help finance my enchanting.
I believe when I moved to TBC, I had about 250g to my name (just bought epic riding before TBC dropped)
Definitely, you should keep some gold on hand for skills. My god are they expensive.

I stopped farming after the latter number just because its a waste of time.
You’ll make a stupid amount MORE money in TBC by just running the sheer number of dungeons, anyway.
Nevermind the quests themselves.
Much like the mages that went hard farming mara 1 pulls, paladins going hard in SM/Stratholm or rogues stealth mining nodes/leather will make well over 60k gold in the first few months due to INSANE amounts of inflation TBC introduces.

It’ll cost closer 12k, you need to purchase basic flying first which is 800g.
You don’t really need epic flying unless you’re running gathering professions.
You and me both!!!

I worked my way up to 500g between my toons now. I’d be happy if I can work it up to a couple grand by launch.
When I originally went into TBC I had about 100g to my name.
In classic I have like 3k without even trying, I don’t know where it’s coming from honestly, I just skin stuff and mine occasionally.
There is no “right” amount. “As much as you can get” is the best amount to have.
One hundred billion gold should be enough for one character if you’re willing to live frugally

I made 5k for my first epic gryphon by just doing most of the Outland leveling quests.

I mean, just bring whatever gold you have.
Half the fun of the game is working towards all those goals you want. I’m bringing 1.5k gold assuming i dont spend much more in the remainder of classic. Looking forward to farming for my flying mount and all that.

It’s even more if you can wait til 70 and run Netherstorm and Shadowmoon Valley for straight up caysh.

I’ll probably go in with about 500g maybe.
