do the scholo naxx 40 questline that came in the patch.

You unlock corrupted scourge stones you can trade in for death chips. You get 15 per naxx run.

Buy the armours pieces , they go from 500k-2 million gold each.

It’s needed to get tier 3 , selling like hotcakes , the helm and shoulder pieces go for the most.

If that’s not your cup of tea , Essence of water , ironweb silk , dark runes , righteous orbs , fel cloth , heavy scorpid leather , pristine black diamonds , golden pearls are all in very very high demand asking for high prices.

What’s the most efficient way to make gold?

60 to 70 private/afk levelling boost. Its time-profit curve is very efficient.

I find that the gold related wq clear out and dragon races can net me a fair chunk too if you want something basic to do

Playing AH ofc, it was it is and it will always be the most efficient GPH within the game.

With an army of alts, thats the best
Usually at least 3 dragon race is up, thats 3x 500+ gold
And ~2-3 photo/rafting, thats also gives around 600 gold

Probably buying WoW tokens, or selling boosts. :stuck_out_tongue:

Outside of those, selling the new tier 3 tokens from the alternative Naxxramas can be very lucrative, but they really are rare - I’ve only pulled one token so far and consider even that to be lucky.

Your mileage may vary depending on your server, but Dracothyst transmutes are good gold on my realm and they don’t take a huge investment in knowledge points either. You just want the transmute tree and ideally the resourcefulness tree which can get you a lot of the spores back.

just need to be lucky with you loot for transmogs or mounts

My Alchemist have Herbalism but wierdly enough, my Blacksmith who paired with Mining farm more spores with overloading the Metamorphic Deposits than my herbalist… O.o

Boosting and playing the AH are always the most efficient ways, but both require a very particular set of skills, as Liam Neeson might say,

Without specific skills, you are pretty reduced from previous expansions. No more Mission Tables, and Blizzard has nerfed farming old instances to the ground.

For pocket money, you get 7 Dragonriding WQ twice a week plus usually 2-3K worth of other gold quests ~= 12000 gold per alt per week.

Gathering SUCKS this expansion. As usual, it was pretty good in the early weeks, butit went downhill fast.

Inethven’s idea of farming Old Naxx sounds good, though it will probably last only a few weeks.

This is not efficient if you make 10-12k/hour. As someone suggested I paid 320k 2-3 players to boost my character 10-70 because I cba to level it up myself, it also took like 2h 15s, 320k is way less than buying blizz boost and got heritage armor too.

Or just do this , it’s been an exploit since DF launch . Many many people have reported Blizz just doesn’t seem to care. if you got 10 days to spare you got a gold cap in a week

Prices for all of those have dropped dramatically, on Silvermoon anyway. Farming them is no longer worth the time.

Buying WoW tokens with money. Unfortunately.

Depends how much gold you want.

For me personally - I don’t need a lot of gold, usually just to cover consumes costs for m+ (55g flask, 5g food, 20g on HP/MP pots, 100g for repairs - so ~250g/m+ run).

I roughly do 15 m+ keys/week, so that’s close to 4k gold/week. So to cover this 4k gold - weekly quest from Niffen faction, and few dragonriding WQ is more than enough.

What I really like to do is to catch moments, when there is a call to arms tank/healer for dungeon. Usually it is a 7-10min run, which will net 950g in bag + 2-4runes (1800g each) - a single call to arms can give up to 8000gold. As a tank you just pull half of dungeon, and as a geared healer you can carry group with your dps.

When I was still gearing and needed to craft gear (~20-25k gold/ 447 piece) - I would usually fish more actively for these call to arms for dungeons.

I don’t know if it’s still the thing - but I think LFR bosses used to drop 1-2 runes, so that’s 1800-3600g/boss (if they still drop them, haven’t checked it).

But ofc, boosting is the most profitable way. Just find your niche, you don’t need to be +20s key booster to make gold. I’ve seen tanks are giving tanking service for low level keys (as a guy you pay tank, that he will do low level keys with you - you basically get free ticket to dungeons, but still play yourself).

Or you just buy wow token and get 400k gold. If your hourly wage is like 15euros - almost nothing in game will beat wow token. You farm in real life for 1.5h at work, and you get 400k gold in wow. E personally - I play to have fun, and gold management is a part of the game for me. So I am not going wow token way.
