What's the most efficient way to make gold?

Easy solution jjust buy them all back up and reset prices for very quick profits.
Easy flips I and many others do it.

You would be surprised how much more money you can make playing this game compare to working for someone in real life.

buy all tens of thousands of every item you mentioned, back? :thinking:

if a token costs 20 bucks, and 20 bucks are 1 or 2 hours of real life work, you’d need to farm around 400.000 gold in a hour in game to break even.

Do you need to make gold, or do you need to not spend gold?

Because I go with the latter approach and slowly accrue money over time just by normal gameplay, even covering the odd dracothyst etc from the AH.

A double gathering alt with abundant knowledge is a powerful thing.

I play AH on almost every EU realm and 400k in an hour isnt that much tbh. You can make goldcaps every day if you commit into it enough

and work is often very chilled. You don’t even have to make an effort… and you don’t need a lot of gold either.

Ok how else do you cover consumables? I’ll buy one every month or two and that covers what I need for m+ and raiding

I don’t spend gold.

I.e. I have one character with maximum investment in double gathering. An hour per week (could be in 10 minute chunks) provides enough herbs to feed to an alchemist for phials. Admittedly, I play healers, my potion needs are very modest, but even so this is my strategy. If I was playing dps and needed dps potions I would farm a few more herbs. My alchemist(s) only need 1 phial every 60-90 minutes of dungeon/raid time.

Fish and meat are not hard to come by; I kill whatever attacks me, and very occasionally I spot an Islefin Dorado school and fish it. I did the feast a lot in season 1 and have 3x flavour pockets, so I use 1 food per 2 hours.

It does not take as much time to be self sufficient as people think. Whether 1-2 hours/week is personally worth it to you, that’s another matter; but if you are trying to pug as dps and spending your time running circles around the Valdrakken fountain (there’s always something to circle…) then just maybe that character should invest in herbalism. Most professions appear to have hit a dead end at this point, and it might be time to admit it.

I want to enjoy farming / making gold… But that quickly goes away when I realize I could make FAR more gold by picking fruit in Lincolnshire for slave wages.

If i farm ~20k gold per hour, that’s equivalent to a whooping £1.00 per hour. No thanks!

I have the same mentality. Might as well just work irl and buy 2-10 wow tokens after an hour depending on your job

GDKP if it is now possible on retail.
Aka groups where loot is auctioned to the highest bidder and the gold is split between the others

Unless you live in Eastern Europe where a lot of people have under 7 euro per hour lol.

I like making gold by doing old raids and vendoring stuff and selling boe’s, doing the fly quests and picking plants in zaralek. Generally just playing the game.

Playing the game is way to go, I just like progression :slight_smile:

Does Russia even considered eastern Europe? They are more Euro-Asian country.

But y, disparity between region is real.
