Haven’t farmed gold actively in years, sat at a good 3.2 mil at some point but spent it all on tokens because I didn’t want to pay real money for sub in this game in BFA and SL, now at ~100k.
My favorite methods of making gold back in the days was:
Selling carrots and other vegetables from my farm in MoP, bought the AH empty of most of these and made my own prices, ludricious amounts of gold.
When the market allowed it, buy 20 ores of cobalt for ~80g, melt to bars with minimal effort and sell a stack of cobalt bars for ~180g.
Farm wintergrasp for titanium and saronite plus occasional motes with engineering item.
Playing the AH was easy gold as well.
GDKP runs back in ToGC and ICC was a really good way to make gold as well as progress in the raid.
Nowadays I just hope for one good BoE epic drop per expansion, the last one got me 2.4 mil.
I’m not much of a gold-maker. All the gold I get is the passive income that comes from doing other ingame activities I enjoy and saving up on buying consumables whenever I can get away with it. When I get the occasional BoE, I’ll put that up on the AH to earn some extra. This approach got me sitting at nearly 1.2m at the moment.
I used to play the AH a lot. I got burnt out though after I made the gold for my Spectral Tiger/Magic Rooster and other TCG mounts.
Now I just casually make gold through farming all raid lockouts on multiple alts. Throw a movie on, and just autopilot through them all, vendor the gear, and AH anything that’s deemed valuable.
I dont enjoying farming gold - I dont wanna be gold capped. I just need enough gold to do regular things in game. I prefer to earn good by daily chores or things I enjoy in game.
Mostly just doing callings these days, I make sure to keep enough to afford a token just in case but other than that don’t really care much about gold. Never enjoyed farming it, never will.
Returning to the chaos that is Goldshire has made me want to re roll alliance. Probably wait until in df now, need to actually finish getting Ksm rather than levelling but that means doing Kara .
For gold and the original topic I’ve found it’s dried up I’m going for professions in df over farming though. Farming has been my way in the past and has always covered what I’ve needed but the profession update looks like it will be the way to go
Im assuming you felt the need to be sarcastic and post it here for SOME reason - Why is something I do not know tho.
I play this game for fun, in that is gold farming in various ways included - along side of high keys and mythic raiding. About to get more into arena too. ^^
I don’t actively farm gold. Most of my characters on the horde have between 50k and 100k gold. When they get to 100k they send 50k to my original banker, who is sitting on just over 9m gold heading towards gold cap.
My alliance chars have 2m gold between them and again I don’t farm gold on them.
