Best place to farm gold

for someone without BFA, the best places to farm are vale of eternal blossoms, where you can farm the ores they use for crafting that goblin mount i forgot the name of, and jewels for panther mounts,

Or you can do old raids like firelands for gold.

That’s pretty much all you can do.

You can do old raids. A Combination of WoD Raids and MoP Raids nets you 20k per ID per character. The Timeframe is around 2 hours and couple minutes per character

Raids and or dungeon spam.

Best atm is skyreach, 10 runs give 4k gold for 30-35 mins.

Usually, this is the standard suggestion, but OP needs to buy BfA, so can’t get above 110. WoD Raids are actually tough at 110, until you get the Legacy Buff for WoD at 111.

This is true. Lot of work tho. You still have to wait for the hour before the next 10 runs. A Token is ~170K at the moment, so that’s 42 hours for one Token, and you would need 4 Tokens to buy BfA.

If you want raw gold/vendor farming, as mentioned, WoD and MoP instances are good for that (‘good’ as far as raw gold goes, it’s still chump change compared to advanced goldmaking methods that make use of the AH).

Legion materials still sell decently well on the Auction House on large realms and are very easy to farm up due to the abundance of nodes and access to stirrups. You will need Legion flying to make the most out of it though. You can also incorporate Blood of Sargeras world quests and Boon of the Bloodhunter farming into that since Blood, while Bound of Pickup, can be traded sellable raw materials in Dalaran. As an advanced method for Blacksmiths, you can get the plans for a sellable mount in the Nighthold raid and make that with your Blood of Sargeras, it still sells rather well. Other profession crafts from Legion that still sell well include the Enchanting pets and Inscription Glyphs, though Legion professions do require quite a bit of setup since the most valuable plans require both high profession skill and the completion of lenghty questlines.

Going further back, a number of Pandaria crafts, most notably mounts from Engineering, still sell rather well and the materials can be obtained with minimal effort from the Tillers Farm. The specifics take a bit to explain so your best bet would be to google search some guides on Sky Golems, Pandaria daily profession cooldowns, Pandaria crafted transmog and the Tillers Farm. The added bonus of the farm is that it is relatively easy to set up (takes a week or two of low-effort dailies), that setup can be done while levelling, once set up, it only takes a couple minutes every day to maintain and reap the benefits and there are no diminishing returns from having it on multiple characters, so an army of level 90+ alts can net you quite a bit of stuff quite literally just for logging in and clicking a couple plants.

That being said… The best and easiest gold is always in the most recent content. Yes, you can make some gold in Legion and WoD or Pandaria profession stuff… but investing the same amount of time into goldmaking strategies involving current content will result in loads more gold. And even within the current expansion it pays to stay current with the new content releases and market changes. The market changes all the time, the thing that made ridiculous money a year ago is completely different from the most profitable thing from two months ago and will be different from the thing that’s best today. For example, when the bee mount was added in a new patch, for the first couple weeks you could make literally millions farming up jelly to sell on the AH. Now… well, you can sell it, but don’t expect breaking the bank with it. Or when BfA first released, before the first raid opened up, you could make millions with Inscription trinkets or 350 BoE items farmed up from random mobs in the overworld. Those are now worth next to nothing. When Nazjatar first released, I made a couple mil just skinning Snapdragons that people were killing for their daily quests. Those same skins are now something like 3g each and not worth the time to fly over to the spawn area. When Nyalotha opened, people were selling corrupted BoE items from raid trash for multiple millions EACH. That market has crashed multiple times since then.

Long story short… if you want to make a couple tens of thousand gold to cover repair costs and whatnot, your best bet is to just do some low effort raw gold farms or material gathering. If you want to make hundreds of thousands of gold or your first mil… You should look into profession stuff and figure out what to make, how to setup making it and how to make it for the least amount of money/time invested for the biggest return. If you want to make millions of gold… you need a bit of investment capital, you need to stay current with the game and you need to be agile and flexible and react to new content releases and new markets.

Pretty much just like IRL - you can get any dull job if you only want enough money to pay the rent. But to go beyond that, you need to work out a plan.

And you say that with your “recruit a friend” tmog? I see…

So I should change my server to argent dawn because a lot of people are mentioning it

You might not feel screwed but when a multiboxer gets that 200k in less than a few hours you might. Because you actuelly have to spend alot of time doing most raw gold farms.

Ofc u can always boost people but then u need to have good gear and a high Raider io

In otherwords yes i feel screwed.

No. That was a joke. Argent Dawn is a Role-Play server. It is legit to say that the economy is generally good-ish there and that transmog sells there better than most. However, its Goldshire is infamous for naughty behaviour, and the standard joke is to make gold by stripping there.

Transferring server costs money, and you are already looking for money, and you should not throw away your character to start again.

Goldfarming spots are like mushroom spots; you don’t simply share them with anybody!

I do agree that the multiboxers really are a pain in the *ss. If it would be me I would forbid anything more than 3 per ToS. These people dont pay a Sub anyway they grind it out per Gold AND make your named surplus. And thats just the tip of the iceberg.

If someone multiboxes then he does not only farm some herbs and be happy. the most of them play the auctionhouse too, ruin the prices for the normal players and profit even more. I knew multiple casual guilds that couldn’t raid properly because that sc*m arctificially pushes the prices of usables (Pots/food/flask/enchants) up so you have to pay ridiculous prices

Like I said 3 is fine. anything above that should be blocked by a updated ToS.

I pay maybe 1 out of 3 of my subs with gold - I don’t want to be a gold farming slave to the game.

Anna thats because you have 3. But these People do it on a way way bigger scale. Im talking about 10-20 Droods with a special multiboxing programm who farm herbs together and stuff. And like i said they play the auctionhouse too most of the time bleeding dry the “normals” with staged prices. if someone trys to make the price sink they just buy it up and re enter it at the high price again.

I know. I do use Isboxer and I do gather on 3 at the same time… but yes they do it on 10 because thats the node limit.

Anything more and it’s for pvp griefing.

I am all for limiting account… 3-5 would be okay with me because 10 is crazy.
