To be honest this might be the best way but i kinda need 150k for something i want.
The one with the Ogre Mage is Highmaul, OK, but it drops a lot more than 500. Of course, nearly all the gold value is in vendoring the drops - in WoD’s case, the boss drops, since there sadly is almost no trash drops.
Here are my latest figures for WoD:
Highmaul (H) = 1,391 gold
Highmaul (N) = 1,550 gold
Highmaul Mythic = 1,490 gold, 24 mins
Highmaul Mythic = 1,671 gold, 29 mins (different run)
Blackrock Foundry (H) = 2,174 gold
Blackrock Foundry (N) = 2,333 gold 25 min
Hellfire Citadel (N) = 2,796 gold 40 minutes.
Hellfire Citadel (H) = 2,169 gold 45 minutes.
(First encounter, Hellfire Assault, is very tediious)
There is a degree of RNG in terms of what drops, maybe + or - 20%.
In very rough terms:
5K from Wrath raids
6K from Cata raids
6K from Mists raids
6K from Warlord raids
(And you can do Mists and WoD again on LFR, to get about the same amount of gold again. It gets very tedious, though.)
A conservative 20K/character/week, but it does eat time.

it was necessary to balance out the economy. pretty normal move.
if blizzard didnt butcher economy in wod/legion - we’d be fine tho so yeah, blizzards fault in the end.
everythings price is down because people dont have that much gold 
boost prices went down by 50%+
its alright, dont think anyone has any issues with repairs currently, but dont think buff should be something you afford by putting 0 effort into making gold.
why’d token price go up with classic?

yes, a lot of people dont have gold, but still gold is hemoraging away from somewhere, and prices of some things are still higher than they should be in this downturn. also doesn’t help that blizz has many expensive mounts in the game currently.
still, probably a better way to get gold if you only need a small amount. where else can you be guaranteed to get such raw gold? nowhere.

Well i can make a breakdown for farming… Depending on how much time you got you can totally stop farming and just play the game. Since basicly farming = efficient killing of mobs or picking up valuable shizz.
For example you can go to Taanan jungle in WoD:
Then just constantly farm the demon area, the average mob dies in one hit from any instant cast. Make your way from one edge to the other, It’s an average of 3 g per mob, even more so if they drop a baleful token since pretty much everything you loot from there are another +5g~. If you don’t want to farm your “azz off” you can just drive by daily and kill as many elites as you can while in the zone.
This spot is probably well more worth it then any raid. It’s super boring thou, but if you still lack mounts or w/e from this expansion It serves a dual purpose. The Apexis pet’s may also sell pretty well, since many players just are lazy. This do require some reputations thou.

as a note on transmog, i just looted Jeweled Dagger, with estimates of 50K on wowhead in 8.0. just looked at:
Silvermoon (A) AHL 5 results, 3K-102K.
Ghostlands (H) AH: 1 result, 26K
Draenor (H) AH: 7 results, 17K-375K
Edit: i just looted a 2nd dagger 2 hours later, upgraded to rare quality :\ so much for 50K 
if you are just wanting the transmog (most people) you’ll get it for the lower prices (3K, 26K, 17K). the higher price is the epic version, which means nothing in transmog terms.
also, looking at this:
the 3 most expensive items in the results section of the BOE flipping guide are:
Waistguard of elemental resistance: he sells for 235K,
Silvermoon AH: 20 results, 18 below 175K, from 24K-350K.
Ghostlands AH: 9 results, 8 below 175K, from 75K-250K
Draenor AH: 23 results, 13 below 175K, from 40K - 545K
silent pillager’s footpads: he sells for 2 for 577K & 491K,
Silvermoon AH. 20 results, 25K-329K.
Ghostlands AH. 6 results, 18K-690K (the 690K is ilvl 425, next highest is 250K)
DraenorAH: 44 results, 6.3K - 928K (the 928K is ilvl 425, next highest is 500K)
chewed on reins of the terrified pack mule: he sells for 570K
Silvermoon AH 0 results, although goldmanes reins 270-370K, and bloodfeaster 500K.
Ghostlands AH: 0 results, 0 results for goldmanes, 2 results for blood feaster @ 500K.
Draenor AH: 2 results, 650K, 6 results for Goldmane 350-400K, Bloodfeaster 11 results from 60K - 500K.
also, i think he said he started with 50M to do the flipping, so thats most of the playerbase out :\ i think someone said it nicely in the comments:
I flipped mats on vanilla and tbc but i dont have that time now
If other players want to play the AH then i don’t care if they buy my AH postings and try to get a higher price, they spend their time how they want.
I want a steady stream of gold and to be able to do the things in game i want, i don’t enjoy playing the AH but if others do then that is their choice.
i agree, i dont care if someone wants to buy my items to flip, i dont want to spend time on AH. i want to play game, do achieves, and complete collections. i would be happy with 500K gold, if i could farm items and stuff that i want. other players are welcome to have the 50M gold.
i can understand the mount, but why are people willing to pay such prices for gear? its going to be outdated in one patch. i can understand progression teams maybe paying silly prices at the start of a patch, but not at this stage.
this variation in prices shows just how mental aspects of the AH are, and also why some people seem able to make gold on AH, while others have no hope.

I can tell you the vanilla greens , blue , epics boe’s market has crashed.
Even the pricey " lut mog" has plummeted i remember bloodscale gear being 50k + in 2018. Now market value 3.5k in bfa , the leggings still go for a little higher.
In terms of boe tmog i’m selling the most which isn’t much but the boe’s greens on island of thunder but i think that’s because of all the Zandalari alts being made.
Old mats sell a bit better but even primals , volatiles prices have plummeted massively. I feel there isn’t that much gold to go around or people are keeping it for tokens or saving up for expensive mounts.

The easy 10k gold per day mission board from legion made it that there isnt that much gold/easy obtained gold now days.Plus BMAH daily have items that sell for gold capp,not to mention the 5m gold mounts plus all the other items you can buy.
It is a positive way…but i doubt it will last cause i already recieve 5k gold mission from Island Expeditions…and something tells me given from WoD/Legion experience they will boost gold aquistion in BFA latter on too.

i think the former as well. but then again im an outsider in regards the gold making side of the game, i only make my observation from the amount of gold we could make in WoD and Legion, with the lack of gold we can make in BfA, and (due to boring BfA state) noticing that old greens are selling for nothing now, when in the past, transmog selling was VERY lucrative.
also, such things make me wonder, how the guy in that wowhead article could have 50M at the start of 2019? :\ is he/she an anomaly or the norm, and where do they fit in on the scale for the high end of goldmaking?
if you can make and maintain that sort of gold, in BfA of all times, no amount of deflation will ever effect these players, just hurt the rest of us.

Well 2 weeks ago i decided to do a test on my stream. I put over 250 items worth over 5k-10k for 500g each. Just to see if people would bite and buy the tmog. Or buy and flip them.
Do you know how many i sold that whole week ? 4 items and they were’nt even the items close to the value of 10k.
Sort of proves my point about the tmog making gold method crashing.

Yeah TSM also shows that the prices are way down compared how they used to be and the sniper tool also messes with that. Kinda sad how much the economy is screwed currently.
also, as a strange aside, some idiot 120 hunter and mage just killed my afk 112 hunter in hellfire peninsular. i was on my flying mount and got back just in time to fly away with about 3% health. but somehow, he mounted up, followed me, and was able to catch up and kill me. apart from not knowing how he was able to catch up with me it brought an interesting point up:
i was fully repaired and had the garrisons no damage buff. so when i died, my repair bill should have been minuscule. i couldn’t be bothered to run back half way accross hellfire peninsular, so i ressed at the graveyard.
i went to repair and the cost was 212g on mail, at 112. i know that res sickness does 10 or 20% durability cost or something, but at that rate from 100% durability to lets say 80%, if thats 200g, then 0% durability will be almost 1000g if it follows that math. while ive never had a repair bill that high, it does make you wonder how durability costs are worked out and if they really are more than we think overall, hence another reason why we’re hemorrhaging gold.
why did it cost so much to repair?

mythic WoD raids gets you good money these days
Wasn’t it -75% durability ?
Also about the old raids : just made 800 gold in Blackwing descent selling the purples in N25. I guess you could still make a good amount of raw gold running cata & beyond raids.
Herbalism is pretty solid for making gold, I make roughly 100k in a month or less(depends on where the wind blows regarding the market prices).
I came to wow, used my 110 boost and simply went herbalism and leveled up and farmed while putting stuff at AH and make at least 5-7k a day, but it’s also important to know what of the stuff you farmed actually got sold and which are most likely to expire its AH duration? When you figure that out you can simply farm the mats that are nearly guaranteed to sell.
Can also say that on my server it seems that flasks don’t sell to well even if the market price should promise some profit, but people seem to prefer raw mats to craft themselves. So by that sadly it seems that Herbalism is the only relevant profession for goldmaking if you want to take that route.
Level a few alts, you’ll have 100k in no time. I get about 20-25k leveling 1-100 with just mining what is already in front of me. Leveling to 100 can be done in a day with some add-ons and auto accept/turn in enhancements (You may have to suffer limited pee breaks though)
And you get to experience some other classes and play styles and check out new zones, win win.
was it 75%? i thought it was effectiveness in combat was reduced to something like 75%. it its 75% durability costs, then i dont know why anyone would choose that rather than running to their body for 30-60 seconds. if i knew that, i wouldn’t have used it. 60 second run compared to having to clear 1/4 of a raid for a repair bill? :s no brainer.
yes, old raids cata-wod are still the best imo too. even wotlk/tbc isn’t so bad if you want a certain item/rep along the way, though nowhere near as much as a full SoO run.
I’m herbing and mining when w8ting for bg que gives me alot, also bg wins gives u around 250g gold with strongbox and item.
A full SoO run is 50min long,i did it with my hunter,think that ToT is faster and the 2 mounts is for me way better and its 30min,Gráinne made a solid post regarding gold you get from those.
And i cheked the Wowhead guys post for his “50m” he is fishy in the way he probably dumped everything he had just to prove a point,and lets not kid our self,it took him months even to acomplish that.
Il just repeat my self again,i think that by the time of 8.2.5 we will have 3k gold missions on the table,it happend in WoD(with shipyards) and it happened in Legion (once argus was opened).Also i think 8.2. is the last big patch for Bfa,maybe a small raid 2-3 bosses and then expect a prepatch.
