You can try to sell them on the AH, vendor them, or if you’re like me, hoard them.

It depends. I usualy stockpile them in my own guild bank so whenver I need them I just have them. If you are quite new and don’t have alts the best option would be to post them on auction house. It can make you some gold. Unless you need them to levelup your profession.

i was hoarding them, buti was just wondering if vendoring them is actually an okay thing to do, and i won’t need them going into BC for example

I’m also a fellow hoarder, I have my own bank guild that holds all my old expansion materials in case I should need them another day :laughing:

Not that I know of, but one never knows - could be next patch I’ll need them

At least in WoW there’s enough bank space. I had to pay for 3 additional retainers in FFXIV :slight_smile:

One small correction:

MAKE ALTS :slight_smile:

Seriously, the first thing I do after making a character on a new realm is to make another character to serve as a bank alt. You’ll never regret doing that.

OTOH, the chance you will ever use those hoarded materials is as near zero as it gets, so try to auction them once, then vendoring them, is the sensible thing to do.

Certainly the last few expansions have brought their own crafting levels with them. At 110, you train Kul Tiran (or Zandalari) profession versions, which have their own 1-150 levels. It doesn’t matter if you were 1 or capped in the previous expansion’s content, the BfA profession is a whole separate entity.

There may be a blind spot around TBC and Wrath before this mechanic came in, but you’re about to hit Pandaria anyway and I’m pretty sure that has Pandaria profession levels.

Outside of that, as far as I’m aware, there has never been a material required outside of the expansion it was introduced in. If you gather it in Outland, only professions for TBC will require it.

I keep telling this myself, but it’s stronger than me.

I like to put them in my guild bank and make it someone else’s problem.

Now that is true evil! :smiling_imp:

Lawful evil. There is no rule saying I can’t do this, and the guild officers may choose to vendor or AH the materials for a profit.

Or they can get stuck over wondering whether they might one day be some kind of use and end up dedicating a bank tab to legacy items.

Either way, I donated an amount of gold in materials and committed no crime :slight_smile:

What will happen if the GM decides to do the same and promotes you to an officer?

Never gonna happen, I am far too incompetent to ever be given a position of responsibility. I learned early on that appearing keen leads to more work :slight_smile:

This is a very important lesson, maybe even belongs in the lifehacks category.
