So, guys what do you think is the best old raid to farm from gold making perspective? Something where valuable boe items drop etc. what’s your experience with that?
Tbh, my best go is usually blackwing lair as nefarian can drop some pretty rare stuff. once i sold boe item from him for 70k lol.
What are your suggestions?
None of them. There are so many easier, more reliable ways to make gold, that don’t even depend on RNG. Farming old raids hoping for an “expensive” BoE (70k ain’t, fyi) is really not worth the time and effort.
OK, so what do you suggest to do then?
Callings! Easy and steady gold making.
All raids prior to BFA have had there raw gold and item gold dropped by 75% sadly.
Bear this in mind; flipping low drop-rate BoE’s on the AH for ungodly amounts of Gold is time consuming and relies on someone wanting the item at exactly the time you list it…
Expectations need to be tempered…
A horde of alts + mission table. A bit of initial investment to level the alts, but then it’s 100% self-sustaining raw gold printing machine, which requires very little upkeep.
You don’t need any gear at all. You don’t need to ever leave the sanctum once you hit 60. You don’t depend on the AH. You don’t need to spend much time completing WQs and whatnot.
You log in the morning, start some missions, and go do whatever else. Log back in before you go to bed, complete the missions, start new ones, go sleep. That’s all it takes. The anima missions reward about twice the anima they cost, so if you distribute your followers well, the table will be self-sustaining. But since 9.1.5, that’s not even needed, because you can send anima over from your main, if need be.
How much gold does it make, you ask? Considering the effort, quite a lot! Once the table campaign is sufficiently progressed (level 12-16, I don’t go higher on 16 on farmers), gold missions will average out around 300g, possibly higher. My experience so far is that with two logins a day, I can average around 2 gold missions a day per char. That’s ~600g / day / char. Not much, you might say. But when you have 10 farmers, that’s 6000g a day (~180k a month), for very little work. If you manage to send 3 gold missions a day, on 10 farmers, you’re suddenly looking at 9k gold a day (~270k a month). The more farming alts you add, the more gold you make, and after the initial leveling effort, it’s trivial to maintain them.
At the moment, I have 20 table farmers, averaging 4 gold missions a day, for 310g a mission. That’s a nice 25k gold a day for something I literally do on my phone while making breakfast, lunch and dinner, respectively.
No gear, no travel, raw gold. You can also gather a whole lot of materials you can sell or turn into consumables to supply your main’s adventures. Every wednesday I spend half an hour crafting feasts, pots and flasks in Oribos from the materials gathered the previous week - I sell most of the on the AH, because I can’t possibly run enough keys to use all of them. Mind you, half my farmers also have the Queen’s Conservatory unlocked for more material farming - I wouldn’t recommend that unless you have a large supply of Anima to burn on unlocking it.
Go level a horde of alts, make them night fae (strongest covenant for table farming), and enjoy your free gold. Level via Threads of Fate, so you reach renown 70+ by the time you ding, unlocking most of your followers (ideally, you’ll want renown 76 to have all followers and all XP booster items, but it’s fine if you don’t reach that while leveling - the replenish the reservoir quest will get you there in a few weeks, or you can do a few callings or w/e if you’re so inclined).
This.
IF you are considering making gold from previous expansion transmog, you need to be on a suitable server where there is a market, and you need to keep a large stock (a couple of hundred, probably) of items for sale, for prices from 500 up.
The actual sale frequency of any one item is very low. Only by listing a wide range can you get any regular gold coming in. It’s constant work, and not fun unless you enjoy it.
Try Studen Albatroz for this sort of stuff. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdstOzMVSXEjpBrNYyG_D0A
I have had a Set Piece for a Mythic Tier set which is only available as a rare trash drop on AH for one 6 months without it selling.
I had a Primitive Mantle on the AH for 1.5 years. An item that is no longer obtainable. It eventually sold, but it took 1.5 years to sell.
There really aren’t anymore efficient raids to farm gold, there are specific boes which can drop from raids can be costly but even getting those is a long shot.
old raid is no longer viable really… one of the most stupid changes and one of the reasons i stopped playing…
along with the disaster they turned leveling into…
and the lack of engaging content.
