Put herbalisim and mining on your main. Pick every flower and mine every ore. Save all your epic/blue/green gear that you don't want in your bank. When your bank is full, or you need some gold, drop mining and pick up enchanting. DE your bank full of stuff. Then drop enchanting, learn mining and buy the mining book from the trainer. Easy consistent gold from the gathering profs and you can still DE stuff, just in bunches.
Some tips to add. 1. Blacksmiths can make stirrups that let you herb and mine while mounted they work WITH the barding. They are a little pricey, but are worthwhile if you are saving for a sky golem. Druids can also go stag form and mount in it, and can eventually even pick herbs when they get bird form. If you are a blacksmith or leather worker the stirrups or barding (depending which you are) last 8 hrs 2. You can actually relearn your professions for 800 gold. So if you will a few bags of epic gear in your bank, you unlearn a profession and replace it with enchanting. Disenchant all the saved gear and then pay 800g to replace your old profession. Crystal's are going for 1-2k a piece atm so one epic will make up for your 800g loss.
@@swiftkills1437 445's on my server are going for 500k gold and it's pretty ridiculous if you find a boe in EP, it's basically sell it or you're dumb; there's always bop's that will drop
I came into this expansion with 2Million gold. I spent it to get an alt up to speed on gear thinking I could just as easily make it back how it was in legion... boy was I wrong . Been sitting around 50k for a month now feels bad.
I came into the expansion with 6.5 million gold. I bought the 5 million gold mount. I'll be kicking the crap out of myself for all of eternity for that purchase. I'm sitting on 1.1 million gold that I'm afraid to spend.. And I'm not making any gold, just basically breaking even every day. I'm hoping they make some changes to make the daily grind profitable. Doesn't have to be as crazy as Legion, but being able to turn a buck and feel like there's a little bit of progress financially and afford a token every month would be nice.
I came into this expansion with 150k on my main and now I have almost 200k. Almost. I've always been poor as fuck, but this xpac has made me stinger than ever. I don't buy anything over 100g in cost unless it's absolutely essential.
For herb/ore farming, don't forget about the blacksmithing items! Monel-hardened Hoofplates give you 20% extra movement speed. Monel-hardened Stirrups allows you to interact while mounted, removing the need for those robot mounts (I prefer my Broom or Chopper). Myself, being a blacksmith, gets an 8 hour buff from these, being a tank keeps me from being dazed, and being a night elf allows me to shadowmeld as necessary.
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about wow gold guide try Skyarza Amazing Wow Star (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got cool success with it.
Excellent guide. I don't even know why I bothered looking anywhere else. Just, FYI the prices for herbs have tanked pretty hard since this video came out. My best tip for making gold in BFA is to just run the older raids. Once you've done a raid in 10 man normal and heroic you can then do it in 25 man versions and get a ton of transmog stuff. Just auction anything that is BOE that looks interesting and disenchant the rest. Headgear, chest pieces and weapons do best. I'm on a very low pop server and most of my transmog BOE sell pretty often at 10k each. Hypnotic dust is iffy but stacks of 200 are always gonna sell. As for what raids to do I'm personally a huge fan of Ice Crown Citadel and the Firelands. Both drop some pretty cool looking BOE gear for transmog and Firelands is super easy. You can just run through everything and one-shot it with an AOE skill. :)
another tip you should have pointed out @ 9:25 or so is "pick a tank class to herb farm with and spec to tank" because tanks don't get dazed when hit by mobs, many use druids because of travel form, this also saves you money you would otherwise use for the leather barding stuff you just brought up.
The funny thing is I originally found your content when I was trying to set up my blue yet I for my streams and then I realized you made a lot of actually useful guides for wow and I saw you on a rep grind now this.. great content you have my sub :)
Thank you Hazel, I didn't use the Salmon to teleport to a pool yet, and thank you for saving me from wasting one in that way.. Great video, thumbs up. You really have this mastered Hazel, I was picking herbs wow vanilla style, call me crazy yes. That would be why I don't get the same load that someone riding a shredder and picking like a blueberry farm could do.. This is truly impressive.
Tarren Mill prices for alchemy have dropped a ton. Learned my gold making lesson this expansion. Next expansion Ima do nothing but herb from start to finish. Ima be a rich lil goblin.
You left out the mindless BoE/mount farms. I've tried enchanting/deing/herbalism, and none of them have come even close to the /afk farm. If your RNG is good and you pick up a BoE or a mount through the grind, you'll push the amount of overall gold obtained like crazy. I've dumped maybe a total of 15 hours into this farm and walked out with 2 mil gold. It's boring, tedious, and got nerfed a bit, but it's still the superior cash cow.
i hope they make anchor weed a little more common im still salty at the fact that i had to run in circles around tiragarde (for like 4-6 hours) to get enough anchor weed to level my profession because nothing but flasks award me any alchemy points i was broke so no buying this out of the auction house the best part was that the anchor weed itself was worth more than all of the flasks i crafted
The raw mats selling for more then the flasks/pots is common. if you have rank 3 anchor you get 5-7 per node, and after you herb for a while you can get good at making your odds better. Anecdotally they used to be more rare. 1/2-3hrs now its like 1/10-20mins
Yurika they spawn more, but the active competition has been increased way more. Its harder to get your hands on anchor weed because just so many people are farming the same tiragarde/nazmir route every single hour of the day
Try doing the route for sirens pollen in drustvar. Near the end of the route, there is a big area for winter's kiss, and the anchor weed spawns a lot. I get around 12 per run(I have it level 3 anchor weed gathering)
Anchor weed goes for 150g per unit. Flasks are 1k at minimum, 5x150 for anchor weed as mats, I been getting quite the profit from it. But that is just my server I guess.
High mountain druid tank is the best, since you have faster mining baseline, fast move outdoors, no daze, some good movement skills, and travel form so you don't have to ever unmount
A note for herbing: switch to tank spec (if you have one) to avoid getting dazed, that way you don't have to buy barding or worry about buff duration falling off.
I find Blood is the best spec for making gold with the #1 method. You're a tank spec, so you can't get dazed or dismounted and don't need to spend money on the Leatherworking consumable. Also being a tank, you take less damage when riding on through scooping herbs and lastly, water walking on the golem is VERY powerful. Most players need to either choose between harvesting herbs without dismounting with the golem or riding on the water with the waterstrider. DKs do both.
great channel Hazel, I find all your information useful. Thumbs up and keep it the great work. Great editing talent like Paul Rioux stated, with the sad banker man and slow zoom with other effects. :D
I've learned the hard way that you should NEVER raid blind. read the strat guide. it takes 5 minutes, and then you know exactly what to do, and you don't get called names because you keep getting the raid wiped.
One thing that people always forget every time a new expansion drops is that selling certain old-content things still works great. It's how I've made my gold all expansion.
Islands and warfronts.. Two things I overindulged in by doing waaay too much.. Now both just make me want to hurl just thinking about it. And the island thing, it's so random because you never know if you're going to get 2 other decent players that make you win it easy, or two morons that run around in circles making me want to choke out somebody.
I have found out gems can be very good way of making gold fast Krakens eye mainly. Mostly because of raiders need those epic gems. For lvling the 5% xp gem sells also.
the 85g for the missions at the table is an insult. you almost spend 1/2 the war resources for gold, and the WQs are even worse. I make more gold per quest doing legion WQs. still can make about 20g per quest from follower, and depending on the quest sell some legion epic for like 60g or flat out
If you happen to be a tailor and focus mainly on pvp scrapping random dread aspirant gear for expolsum and buying embroidered cloth cheap to make 32 slot bags has worked for me
made easy 6 mill at start of BFA doing hyper mob mount/boe farming Blizz nerfed most mobs Hook point & 1 Leather farming spot are the only 2 i know still are worth doing
Also 2 x 4 farms found in custom groups have been great for getting cloth, BoE's, and mounts that sell very well on the AH (great way to meet likeminded farmers as well). Fishing on my server has been demotivating because goblins bought massive amounts of aromatic fish oil when it was sold by the vendor. My only regret is not stacking up the oil myself so I'm not too upset about it.
I wasn't "in the loop" about the fish oil either and had been buying just enough for the feasts I need. When I ran out, I went to the vendor to get more and was really confused by its absence. I really wish I had known it wouldn't stay there or I would've filled up my bank with them.
On the crafting side of things, as an alchemist, Anchor Weed on my server sells for around 350-400gold each. But the Flasks that require 10 Anchor Weed each, sell for around 800-900gold. I'd always recommend just, selling the Anchor Weed, is this instance. :D
I wish they would put back follower equipment. I liked how in Legion you could get up to 150g just by completing a world quest, if you had a good follower assigned, with the right items.
"It maxes out at item level 'who cares'." So true. Since the beginning of the game I have wished for Blizz to give real crafting to armor crafters instead of "You can make stuff for your alts, but it's super expensive and they will outlevel it anyway."
@bepper66 That has not been my experience. Yes there can be a profit margin, but the sell rate is just too low. You'd make more gold by farming mats. Which is just absurd.
@@LoveLearnShareGrow When it comes to gold/time farming is never viable. I make 10-100k per day with Enchanting, Inscription and Tailoring with less than 15 minutes of work. And my server salerates and prices are even below average. If you have like a douzend hours every day, yeah then farming may be better. Even then I do think that crafting stuff out of those raw materials and selling them is the best thing to do tho.
Not sure what you mean beginning of the game.. in Bc crafted gear was important, and again in wod..admittedly not like it should be, but in WoD some of the crafted pieces were BiS...if you got the right random stats
It's only once per week, but for some decent raw gold gain I'm running Blackrock Foundry. It's around 2.4k gold per run and you can run it on each of the 4 difficulties for a total of near 10k (LFR NPC should be in your Garrison). You can do Highmaul and HFC as well, the gold per boss seems pretty similar across the 3, but BRF has more bosses than Highmaul and you have to spend the time doing the HFC gate boss if you go that route.
Issue being that we've had multiple times we would've killed a boss but people didn't use pots. So now we bench people for not bringing them. We tried supplying them and just getting donations from members, but you can't make up for 600k a raid day from donations.
Early on i was making 5k per crafted claw weapon using lw. They still sell for a bit. If you are using a crafted profession i highly suggest looking up prices for those low blues you can make. Then again im on zuluhed and our AH is terrible.
You can add tailoring, cause when u have it mobs drops more cloth. They still cost good amount of gold x200 stacks, than you can join custom groups and search 2x4 farming spots. U will get lucky with boe items, greens to sell or DE + mount = more gold
mate , just run some old raids / firelands(full trash clear ), throne of thunder , brf. more gold than u get from doing these bfa wq / missions at least .also , no wipes on trash on lfr .
There is no mythic ToT, only normal and heroic. And it takes you far to long. It is more like 30min run. But you are correct about gold. Plus extra pet drops can sell. This applies to lot of older raids. Also, you can run LFR version, so double money per week.
I was doing good with herbalism the first couple months.... Seems like prices have really tanked. Now mining is where it's at on my server... Aside from anchorweed, always excited to see those
Blackrock foundry, 2000g a run, you can run it 4 times a week, lfr through the seer in your garrison, then normal, heroic, and epic. And since this is just for selling the boss loot, you don't need to bother with anything else unless they need to die to start the boss. Same goes for Highmaul and Hellfire. You'll spend an hour doing each all 4 times. all three, one character, 24k gold about.
Crafting pvp gear is actually pretty decent, at least for leatherworking. The materials cost less than a gold total not counting the expulson per craft, and they usually sell on my sever for 2.5-3k a piece. Went from a couple hundred gold on an alt to 20k after scrapping my quest gear for expulson and blowing some marks of honor on cheapening up the recipes.
2 million plus since BFAs launch. I kinda wish I leveled a bit faster so I could have capitalized on the new xpac prices a bit more. I can't stress to people enough, that's the time for big gains! Raid patches are ok, but nothing compares to that first couple weeks! Tip! Put in the time early xpac, then never worry about gold making for the rest of the expansion!
I craft 5 Sky Golems a month, you need 5 eng, 4 alc and one smelter. You only need 4 alc if they are all transmute masters, the proc rate makes up for it and makes it much more profitable. 4200 Ghost Iron ore - one Golem (if nothing proc). Buy cheap ore, afk smelt, transmute Ghost Iron bars in to trillium.
1 alchemist is sufficient depending on your spirit of harmony prices, riddle of steel can be cheaper than using the living steel cooldown or you could just buy them from the auction house.
Just farm mounts in old raids, dungeons and vendor the loot. You get a couple hundred gold from each boss and 30-70 flat gold. Also going for crafting materials for mounts are also cool. Nobody else farms it and they worth a suprising amount. I sold spirit of Harmony for 150g each.
@hazel, Tank spec will negate needing the baring. Tanks don't get dazed, so those OP druid herbers should be rolling as an Elk (or cheetah) in Guardian Spec. Any tank spec will accomplish this though.
I can’t afford bfa, so I’m just gonna farm gold until I get 50 dollars of wow tokens to buy it. So now I just have to spend 7 eternities farming gold. Foolproof
On the other hand the token prices have halved so there are positive reactions to offset it. Anyway no one actually enjoyed logging in to armies of alts just to send off on missions. When people say they 'enjoy' it, what they mean is they like being able to get the gold, which is not the same.
being able to do this allowed you more time to do things you actually enjoyed doing. I dont think most people enjoy having to farm for gold (even a mediocre amount), and would like a decent passive income. I know plenty of folks that can only play a few hrs a day a few times a week. The only way they are making it thus far is falling back on their legion gold.
There's more to it as well. Because of the vicious cycle, I felt compelled to do the missions myself-- all of that free gold injected into the economy screwed over everything. 350k for the token remember? That's why people who say 'well you don't have to' are talking out their arses. You don't HAVE to, but because the way things are set up, you really should if you don't want to be hindered.
Idk if this market is only good in my realm but I make like 50k-70k every day just posting old world enchants. They are almost cheap to craft and the profit is even better than bfa enchants, plus no competitors :)
Massive hit is an understatement. I studied what I made in Legion and compared it to BfA, and just like all other Blizzard nerfs, they didn't just adjust it, they obliterated it. The made repairs much more expensive, doubled the cost of seals, made it so if you want a key crafting component, you have to shred all your soulbound gear drops... My end game income is 98.9% less than Legion. Average. Some days if I do just the daily emissary, I'll actually experience a more than 100% nerf, I'll LOSE gold. They've pretty much reverted back to pre-WOD gold generation, but at much higher than Legion upkeep costs. If it weren't for the fact I'm in a guild that pays my repair bills, I'd be averaging around a 103% gold nerf from Legion. They always overdo it. horrendously. I can't spend 7 days a week waking up and playing WoW until I pass out 18 hours later anymore either due to health reasons. Sure the Legion gold generation was crazy, but they could have reduced it, not obliterated it. Once you hit exalted with everything there is literally no reason to log on to that toon anymore. No reward = no desire... They took what I liked the most about Legion and removed all the motivation from it. Hopefully they'll start to remedy that a bit as a the expansion goes on. I mean, it'd be nice to be able to at least be able to afford a token every month instead of one every 3 months.
How? Do you have ANY professions? Use them! Before i didn't renew my subscription a week ago i would login in the morning check the auctions house for cheap materials, craft some ilevel 300 stuff on my blacksmith and put it up for auction. Takes like 5 minutes and this alone was enough to pay for my wow tokens easily.
No, I don't. I have engineering on a few toons so I can basically put flying on my cloaks to get around easier. I'm on a lower population server where the only things that sell for decent prices are things like mounts or things that require farming hydrocores in Mythic dungeons and crushing massive amounts of gear for expulsom. I have much more limited play time now, so I tend to stick with what I enjoy-- doing quests and exploring what I can that doesn't involve waiting in queues. Besides I've always loathed dealing with the AH. That's why I liked Legion so much, I was able to play the game and be rewarded for time invested in questing and I could walk, exercise, and do other healthy things outside of the game while checking in every few hours for the mission boards. But maybe it's just me, and I should move on from WoW, and MMOs. Since I can't play 12 hours a day anymore, I have to limit my activities in the game to maximize enjoyment, and it's apparent that the game has moved on to de-incentivizing the very part of the game I enjoyed so much in Legion.
PCFanatic i think you are confusing deflation of gold for lack of profits. Profits are very much there its just things give less gold in comparison to legion as the 5 mil mount has deflated the gold in circulation. You can still make good profits just need to know how. I makde 100k last week by selling just herbs on AH. 200-300k by flipping BOEs. Enchants and feasts are all selling for 1k profits (after crafting cost) on my server Doomhammer if you have level 3 in the recepies.
Yeah I get it. They almost completely removed the gold away from any of the enjoyable activities in the game. We're back to the Unpaid Work Simulator mode of "gaming". One of the big issues is that they nerfed the hell out of gold from playing the game-type activities, but still increased the cost flight paths, seals, and repair costs like they increased income. So it's not just a question of making gold, it's a question of them actually making the entire game a gold sink so you're FORCED to play the AH even if you just want to break even. It's not a question of "giving less gold" like I said that's a vast understatement. My play style went from generating a lot of gold to, in reality, generating LESS THAN ZERO gold. Since I have health issues that essentially force me to limit my play time or risk blood clots, they've essentially put a timer on how long I'll be able to play before I go broke. I don't enjoy doing all that playing the AH crap, and I don't get enough play time to do anything I don't enjoy in the game. I've been dealing with this health issue since half way through Legion, I really enjoyed that I could still get decent gold while adjusting to a much more limited play schedule. BfA's endgame is Legion's, but with all of that removed. And they could have reduced it 85% and it would have still been fine for me. Instead they just killed it completely.
Funnily enough, having not played for 2 xpacs this is the most gold I've ever had. Once I get that 30,000 mount (which everyone seems to have now), most costs seem to be reforging and transmogs.
Interesting tips. Will use DE on my main alts when bags fills up. Sounds solid. Especially since I see Scrapping as a tedious bag filler. Constructive criticism: Talk at least 20-30% slower and take longer pauses between sentences. While listening I felt like you were rushing but for no obvious reason. So, as an example, I had to relisten to the end about herbs x times to make sure I got all the nuggets. /Grayz
The funny thing about all of this is that the amount of time you would spend farming in wow you could just take 1-2 hours extra on any typical labor job and "make" 10 times the amount per hour if you then use that money to go and buy from a 3d party gold site. That's kinda sad. For about 25 Euro you get around 250k gold.
My main is a lvl 116 Pally. Should I drop smithing to get herbalism? Ming and smithing are my profs right now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
If you don't mind dropping a profession, sure. Blacksmithing is the least profitable profession. Only thing to craft are few items people use to boost item level for fresh alts and things for warfront contribution. But, to make herbalism useful you need to invest time farming herbs. I find that extremely boring. I still keep my blacksmithing on my main, part for that reason and part nostalgia.
Herbalism isn't worth it unless you're multiboxing 5 accounts. The ability to multibox 5 druids and have them all collect a node has completely tanked herb prices on my battlegroup. The only reason Blizzard even allows it is because it gives them money. I think multiboxing shouldn't be allowed, especially not to abuse herb/ore farming.
The Underlight Angler still helpful for the for the Boots, Teleport, Waterwalk and Aggro Range. Still worth getting and leveling up for the base abilities imo.
I'm kicking myself right now for not stashing more of those Hippogryph Hatchlings. I still somehow ended up with two of them and managed to sell it for a pretty large sum.
The easiest way to make money, tada, buy out some Wow tokens hehe, unless you're totally broken. The squirrel on your shirt, the color of your hair is top notch, no kitty cat I feel a bit cringy though Hello from France.
I may switch from skin/lw to herb/ench now... So tempting for the profit turn around... Would love to get to a point where I can just buy wow tokens to play
Hi, I should have a question about BfA professions. I want to make a second character with mining.What would you recommend as a second profession for Gold making? Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting or Engineering? Thank you for your answer
Herbalism......if you absolutely feel you must take a crafting profession then take Jewel for gems. Eng can be fun but has nothing to do with gold this xpac lol.
I run Firelands you can make a out 1k raw gold and another 1k in loot sales with greens as a bonus... I average about 3-5k per too per week take me 15 min per run. Not great but I like the raid.
the way i make gold is in goldshire, but i wouldn't recommend it

Some tips to add.
1. Blacksmiths can make stirrups that let you herb and mine while mounted they work WITH the barding. They are a little pricey, but are worthwhile if you are saving for a sky golem. Druids can also go stag form and mount in it, and can eventually even pick herbs when they get bird form.

Disenchant all the saved gear and then pay 800g to replace your old profession. Crystal's are going for 1-2k a piece atm so one epic will make up for your 800g loss.

Too vague - specifics please?
i hope they make anchor weed a little more common
im still salty at the fact that i had to run in circles around tiragarde (for like 4-6 hours) to get enough anchor weed to level my profession because nothing but flasks award me any alchemy points
i was broke so no buying this out of the auction house
the best part was that the anchor weed itself was worth more than all of the flasks i crafted
The raw mats selling for more then the flasks/pots is common. if you have rank 3 anchor you get 5-7 per node, and after you herb for a while you can get good at making your odds better.
Anecdotally they used to be more rare. 1/2-3hrs now its like 1/10-20mins
Yurika they spawn more, but the active competition has been increased way more. Its harder to get your hands on anchor weed because just so many people are farming the same tiragarde/nazmir route every single hour of the day
Try doing the route for sirens pollen in drustvar. Near the end of the route, there is a big area for winter's kiss, and the anchor weed spawns a lot. I get around 12 per run(I have it level 3 anchor weed gathering)
Anchor weed goes for 150g per unit. Flasks are 1k at minimum, 5x150 for anchor weed as mats, I been getting quite the profit from it. But that is just my server I guess.
150g per Anchor weed? thats super cheap tbh.
on my server they are 400g and on bad (for me) days 280g.
may i ask on what server you play?
I just started playing this game idk how to do anything
Same
Press the button that says A then you will become a pro. Secret hack
tip:instead of barding, just be tank spec and you won't get knocked off when gathering
High mountain druid tank is the best, since you have faster mining baseline, fast move outdoors, no daze, some good movement skills, and travel form so you don't have to ever unmount
Night elf for alliance, since shadowmeld let's you deaggro
Thanks again for another informative video. I'm just returning after leaving legion mid nighthold and your videos are making it a lot easier.
A note for herbing: switch to tank spec (if you have one) to avoid getting dazed, that way you don't have to buy barding or worry about buff duration falling off.
I find Blood is the best spec for making gold with the #1 method. You're a tank spec, so you can't get dazed or dismounted and don't need to spend money on the Leatherworking consumable. Also being a tank, you take less damage when riding on through scooping herbs and lastly, water walking on the golem is VERY powerful. Most players need to either choose between harvesting herbs without dismounting with the golem or riding on the water with the waterstrider. DKs do both.
I crafted 25+ x Platinum Whetstone from the 300+ x Expolsum I had stocked from Uldir Mythics. Sold for approx 10.000g each :)
You don't need Coarse Leather Barding if you can swap to tank spec. You never get dazed (dismounted) in tank spec.
Way to go, Hazel.. Thanks for the advice ;) Greetings from Denmark.
great channel Hazel, I find all your information useful. Thumbs up and keep it the great work. Great editing talent like Paul Rioux stated, with the sad banker man and slow zoom with other effects. :D
About LFR you must add repair cost since people here dont use brain when they enter raid ;)
Zul trash ftw
Almost all my toons have invested in a blacksmith building in their garrison, and they keep the anvil buff on at all times.
@@darthgorbag Im always forgetting to get this buff :/
It's still a relatively new expansion, you can't expect everyone to just know everything.
I've learned the hard way that you should NEVER raid blind. read the strat guide. it takes 5 minutes, and then you know exactly what to do, and you don't get called names because you keep getting the raid wiped.
One thing that people always forget every time a new expansion drops is that selling certain old-content things still works great. It's how I've made my gold all expansion.
My gold making method is actually running islands. The boes and pets sell very well and go for a decent amount of gold. Raiding is expensive
that must be boring
meh, its not bad and helps with getting my neck higher. I try and get a neck lvl a week.
Islands and warfronts.. Two things I overindulged in by doing waaay too much.. Now both just make me want to hurl just thinking about it. And the island thing, it's so random because you never know if you're going to get 2 other decent players that make you win it easy, or two morons that run around in circles making me want to choke out somebody.
Lol... nice troll... "boe's and pets"... yeah, like those ever drop.
@@wolfshanze5980 I've made over 100k with pretty little effort after selling 3 pets and 4 boes. It works for me
I have found out gems can be very good way of making gold fast Krakens eye mainly. Mostly because of raiders need those epic gems. For lvling the 5% xp gem sells also.
Depends on the server. On Sargeras many of the gems sell for more than the cut versions. 5% Exp gems are selling for less than 3 gold each.
the 85g for the missions at the table is an insult. you almost spend 1/2 the war resources for gold, and the WQs are even worse. I make more gold per quest doing legion WQs. still can make about 20g per quest from follower, and depending on the quest sell some legion epic for like 60g or flat out
Remember before the nerf, we were making 150g per world quest with the follower if you had the correct follower equipment?! Man I miss that so much!
By far the best video for gold making I saw.
Did you try any gold addons?
LFR could be a bad idea since wipes could make your repair bills higher than the gold rewards.
LFR is fine if you just farm the easy wings.
That's a good point. And as the gear gets better hopefully there will be less wipes.
If you happen to be a tailor and focus mainly on pvp scrapping random dread aspirant gear for expolsum and buying embroidered cloth cheap to make 32 slot bags has worked for me
made easy 6 mill at start of BFA doing hyper mob mount/boe farming Blizz nerfed most mobs Hook point & 1 Leather farming spot are the only 2 i know still are worth doing
Also 2 x 4 farms found in custom groups have been great for getting cloth, BoE's, and mounts that sell very well on the AH (great way to meet likeminded farmers as well). Fishing on my server has been demotivating because goblins bought massive amounts of aromatic fish oil when it was sold by the vendor. My only regret is not stacking up the oil myself so I'm not too upset about it.
I wasn't "in the loop" about the fish oil either and had been buying just enough for the feasts I need. When I ran out, I went to the vendor to get more and was really confused by its absence. I really wish I had known it wouldn't stay there or I would've filled up my bank with them.
Thanks for taking the time and doing this video boo!
On the crafting side of things, as an alchemist, Anchor Weed on my server sells for around 350-400gold each. But the Flasks that require 10 Anchor Weed each, sell for around 800-900gold. I'd always recommend just, selling the Anchor Weed, is this instance. :D
I wish they would put back follower equipment. I liked how in Legion you could get up to 150g just by completing a world quest, if you had a good follower assigned, with the right items.
"It maxes out at item level 'who cares'." So true. Since the beginning of the game I have wished for Blizz to give real crafting to armor crafters instead of "You can make stuff for your alts, but it's super expensive and they will outlevel it anyway."
*For the alts of super rich folks who pay waaaay too much gold for i300 stuff and allow me to make a shitload of money.
@bepper66 That has not been my experience. Yes there can be a profit margin, but the sell rate is just too low. You'd make more gold by farming mats. Which is just absurd.
@@LoveLearnShareGrow When it comes to gold/time farming is never viable. I make 10-100k per day with Enchanting, Inscription and Tailoring with less than 15 minutes of work. And my server salerates and prices are even below average. If you have like a douzend hours every day, yeah then farming may be better. Even then I do think that crafting stuff out of those raw materials and selling them is the best thing to do tho.
@bepper66 Wow, ok, well I'm glad it's working for you.
Not sure what you mean beginning of the game.. in Bc crafted gear was important, and again in wod..admittedly not like it should be, but in WoD some of the crafted pieces were BiS...if you got the right random stats
It's only once per week, but for some decent raw gold gain I'm running Blackrock Foundry. It's around 2.4k gold per run and you can run it on each of the 4 difficulties for a total of near 10k (LFR NPC should be in your Garrison). You can do Highmaul and HFC as well, the gold per boss seems pretty similar across the 3, but BRF has more bosses than Highmaul and you have to spend the time doing the HFC gate boss if you go that route.
Nice, so if I do all these I can pay for a raid night.
nice joke. what do you need for raid night? 2k gold and 3 flasks?
with 50k input, 5 minutes of AH flipping gives you enough gold for a raid.
It's honestly pretty crazy right now. Like at least 30-40k worth of pots for our three hour raid.
So either you have to pay the things for your whole raid, or you should not drink a potion, when you didnt bring the boss lower then 30% before.
Issue being that we've had multiple times we would've killed a boss but people didn't use pots. So now we bench people for not bringing them. We tried supplying them and just getting donations from members, but you can't make up for 600k a raid day from donations.
As a tank one of the better way of earning money is the bonus bag for tanking in random HCs. And it's up pretty much all the time.
Early on i was making 5k per crafted claw weapon using lw. They still sell for a bit. If you are using a crafted profession i highly suggest looking up prices for those low blues you can make. Then again im on zuluhed and our AH is terrible.
I have just accepted that I'm gonna be poor.
Same bro
Love your pet guides! And this! Thank you!
You can add tailoring, cause when u have it mobs drops more cloth. They still cost good amount of gold x200 stacks, than you can join custom groups and search 2x4 farming spots. U will get lucky with boe items, greens to sell or DE + mount = more gold
Being new to wow and running out of gold due to repairs I thank you for your guide :)
mate , just run some old raids / firelands(full trash clear ), throne of thunder , brf. more gold than u get from doing these bfa wq / missions at least .also , no wipes on trash on lfr .
You can also get 2500-3000 gold for a full clear of 25 man mythic throne of thunder. Takes between 60-90 minutes for me on average.
There is no mythic ToT, only normal and heroic. And it takes you far to long. It is more like 30min run. But you are correct about gold. Plus extra pet drops can sell. This applies to lot of older raids. Also, you can run LFR version, so double money per week.
You can also still do cata raids... a heroic one with decent drops will net 1k to 1.5k gold for like 5-10 minutes work. Beats doing LFR for sure.
I was doing good with herbalism the first couple months.... Seems like prices have really tanked. Now mining is where it's at on my server... Aside from anchorweed, always excited to see those
Blackrock foundry, 2000g a run, you can run it 4 times a week, lfr through the seer in your garrison, then normal, heroic, and epic. And since this is just for selling the boss loot, you don't need to bother with anything else unless they need to die to start the boss. Same goes for Highmaul and Hellfire. You'll spend an hour doing each all 4 times. all three, one character, 24k gold about.
Crafting pvp gear is actually pretty decent, at least for leatherworking. The materials cost less than a gold total not counting the expulson per craft, and they usually sell on my sever for 2.5-3k a piece. Went from a couple hundred gold on an alt to 20k after scrapping my quest gear for expulson and blowing some marks of honor on cheapening up the recipes.
2 million plus since BFAs launch. I kinda wish I leveled a bit faster so I could have capitalized on the new xpac prices a bit more. I can't stress to people enough, that's the time for big gains! Raid patches are ok, but nothing compares to that first couple weeks!
Tip! Put in the time early xpac, then never worry about gold making for the rest of the expansion!
I craft 5 Sky Golems a month, you need 5 eng, 4 alc and one smelter. You only need 4 alc if they are all transmute masters, the proc rate makes up for it and makes it much more profitable. 4200 Ghost Iron ore - one Golem (if nothing proc). Buy cheap ore, afk smelt, transmute Ghost Iron bars in to trillium.
1 alchemist is sufficient depending on your spirit of harmony prices, riddle of steel can be cheaper than using the living steel cooldown or you could just buy them from the auction house.
Just farm mounts in old raids, dungeons and vendor the loot. You get a couple hundred gold from each boss and 30-70 flat gold. Also going for crafting materials for mounts are also cool. Nobody else farms it and they worth a suprising amount. I sold spirit of Harmony for 150g each.
@hazel, Tank spec will negate needing the baring. Tanks don't get dazed, so those OP druid herbers should be rolling as an Elk (or cheetah) in Guardian Spec. Any tank spec will accomplish this though.
I can’t afford bfa, so I’m just gonna farm gold until I get 50 dollars of wow tokens to buy it. So now I just have to spend 7 eternities farming gold. Foolproof
"Why is your Skygolem moldy?" lolz :D
On the other hand the token prices have halved so there are positive reactions to offset it.
Anyway no one actually enjoyed logging in to armies of alts just to send off on missions. When people say they 'enjoy' it, what they mean is they like being able to get the gold, which is not the same.
being able to do this allowed you more time to do things you actually enjoyed doing. I dont think most people enjoy having to farm for gold (even a mediocre amount), and would like a decent passive income. I know plenty of folks that can only play a few hrs a day a few times a week. The only way they are making it thus far is falling back on their legion gold.
They only wanted easy gold with zero efford
There's more to it as well.
Because of the vicious cycle, I felt compelled to do the missions myself-- all of that free gold injected into the economy screwed over everything. 350k for the token remember?
That's why people who say 'well you don't have to' are talking out their arses. You don't HAVE to, but because the way things are set up, you really should if you don't want to be hindered.
Use the app instead of logging in.
Idk if this market is only good in my realm but I make like 50k-70k every day just posting old world enchants. They are almost cheap to craft and the profit is even better than bfa enchants, plus no competitors :)
Massive hit is an understatement. I studied what I made in Legion and compared it to BfA, and just like all other Blizzard nerfs, they didn't just adjust it, they obliterated it. The made repairs much more expensive, doubled the cost of seals, made it so if you want a key crafting component, you have to shred all your soulbound gear drops... My end game income is 98.9% less than Legion. Average. Some days if I do just the daily emissary, I'll actually experience a more than 100% nerf, I'll LOSE gold.
They've pretty much reverted back to pre-WOD gold generation, but at much higher than Legion upkeep costs.
If it weren't for the fact I'm in a guild that pays my repair bills, I'd be averaging around a 103% gold nerf from Legion.
They always overdo it. horrendously. I can't spend 7 days a week waking up and playing WoW until I pass out 18 hours later anymore either due to health reasons.
Sure the Legion gold generation was crazy, but they could have reduced it, not obliterated it. Once you hit exalted with everything there is literally no reason to log on to that toon anymore. No reward = no desire... They took what I liked the most about Legion and removed all the motivation from it.
Hopefully they'll start to remedy that a bit as a the expansion goes on. I mean, it'd be nice to be able to at least be able to afford a token every month instead of one every 3 months.
How? Do you have ANY professions? Use them! Before i didn't renew my subscription a week ago i would login in the morning check the auctions house for cheap materials, craft some ilevel 300 stuff on my blacksmith and put it up for auction. Takes like 5 minutes and this alone was enough to pay for my wow tokens easily.
No, I don't. I have engineering on a few toons so I can basically put flying on my cloaks to get around easier. I'm on a lower population server where the only things that sell for decent prices are things like mounts or things that require farming hydrocores in Mythic dungeons and crushing massive amounts of gear for expulsom.
I have much more limited play time now, so I tend to stick with what I enjoy-- doing quests and exploring what I can that doesn't involve waiting in queues.
Besides I've always loathed dealing with the AH. That's why I liked Legion so much, I was able to play the game and be rewarded for time invested in questing and I could walk, exercise, and do other healthy things outside of the game while checking in every few hours for the mission boards.
But maybe it's just me, and I should move on from WoW, and MMOs. Since I can't play 12 hours a day anymore, I have to limit my activities in the game to maximize enjoyment, and it's apparent that the game has moved on to de-incentivizing the very part of the game I enjoyed so much in Legion.
PCFanatic i think you are confusing deflation of gold for lack of profits. Profits are very much there its just things give less gold in comparison to legion as the 5 mil mount has deflated the gold in circulation. You can still make good profits just need to know how. I makde 100k last week by selling just herbs on AH. 200-300k by flipping BOEs.
Enchants and feasts are all selling for 1k profits (after crafting cost) on my server Doomhammer if you have level 3 in the recepies.
Yeah I get it. They almost completely removed the gold away from any of the enjoyable activities in the game. We're back to the Unpaid Work Simulator mode of "gaming".
One of the big issues is that they nerfed the hell out of gold from playing the game-type activities, but still increased the cost flight paths, seals, and repair costs like they increased income. So it's not just a question of making gold, it's a question of them actually making the entire game a gold sink so you're FORCED to play the AH even if you just want to break even.
It's not a question of "giving less gold" like I said that's a vast understatement. My play style went from generating a lot of gold to, in reality, generating LESS THAN ZERO gold.
Since I have health issues that essentially force me to limit my play time or risk blood clots, they've essentially put a timer on how long I'll be able to play before I go broke. I don't enjoy doing all that playing the AH crap, and I don't get enough play time to do anything I don't enjoy in the game.
I've been dealing with this health issue since half way through Legion, I really enjoyed that I could still get decent gold while adjusting to a much more limited play schedule.
BfA's endgame is Legion's, but with all of that removed. And they could have reduced it 85% and it would have still been fine for me. Instead they just killed it completely.
So the only way to get those BOEs though is via raiding?
Funnily enough, having not played for 2 xpacs this is the most gold I've ever had.
Once I get that 30,000 mount (which everyone seems to have now), most costs seem to be reforging and transmogs.
Yeah, i don't have any expensive mounts, either. I spend what little gold I get on repairs (tank = hit all the time) and, well, pets. :p
Can I just say THANK YOU for being like one of the only FEMALE World of Warcraft guide youtubers? You're awesome
Great video Hazel! I wish they would add some cool fishing achievements like we had in Legion.
Interesting tips. Will use DE on my main alts when bags fills up. Sounds solid. Especially since I see Scrapping as a tedious bag filler.
Constructive criticism:
Talk at least 20-30% slower and take longer pauses between sentences. While listening I felt like you were rushing but for no obvious reason. So, as an example, I had to relisten to the end about herbs x times to make sure I got all the nuggets.
/Grayz
your eyeshadow looks amazing, pink looks so good on you!
Try herbing in Nazmir for siren's pollen and riverbud. The river in Tiragarde is popular and too heavily picked.
idk what game you play, but my LFR groups are harder than heroic >.>
“And then you’re just .... heck’d” = best quote of 2019
thank you for the helpful guide!
The funny thing about all of this is that the amount of time you would spend farming in wow you could just take 1-2 hours extra on any typical labor job and "make" 10 times the amount per hour if you then use that money to go and buy from a 3d party gold site. That's kinda sad. For about 25 Euro you get around 250k gold.
Also if you are a druid do not waste money or mats on a golem mount for herbalism. Because you can also gather herbs I travel form
My main is a lvl 116 Pally. Should I drop smithing to get herbalism? Ming and smithing are my profs right now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
If you don't mind dropping a profession, sure. Blacksmithing is the least profitable profession. Only thing to craft are few items people use to boost item level for fresh alts and things for warfront contribution. But, to make herbalism useful you need to invest time farming herbs. I find that extremely boring. I still keep my blacksmithing on my main, part for that reason and part nostalgia.
Is old raid farming still a thing? Or is it better for you to sell herbs and disenchant stuff?
I was so happy to have my Green "sky golem". Not once did anyone ever take time to point out that it was a different color... ;_;
I've started vendoring gear because I can't give the disenchant mats away.
Thanks for the video! Makes me reconsider into getting herbalism!
Also, do you mind sharing your shopping string(s)?
Herbalism isn't worth it unless you're multiboxing 5 accounts. The ability to multibox 5 druids and have them all collect a node has completely tanked herb prices on my battlegroup. The only reason Blizzard even allows it is because it gives them money. I think multiboxing shouldn't be allowed, especially not to abuse herb/ore farming.
They dont allow it, they just dont take action. Also herbalism isnt good because its 2 monthss to expansion release (since when you commented)
Can confirm, fishing is a steady 8-9k per hour if you're fishing for the opposite faction's fish.
I find crafting gear, il 300, do well right when a warfront starts because the 320 il requirement.
The Underlight Angler still helpful for the for the Boots, Teleport, Waterwalk and Aggro Range. Still worth getting and leveling up for the base abilities imo.
I use LFR to check if the boss is bigger than me :)
Love your videos! Keep up the good work
You never went back to making the guide for tsm 4. Are you ever going to finish them?
Hazel solo quiero decirte que la comunidad latina también te ve, lo haces muy bien y que el canal siga creciendo
Great overall guide
I'm kicking myself right now for not stashing more of those Hippogryph Hatchlings. I still somehow ended up with two of them and managed to sell it for a pretty large sum.
On my server I found out that on my server there is a big market for all the herbs and ore, from all the expansions.
The easiest way to make money, tada, buy out some Wow tokens hehe, unless you're totally broken.
The squirrel on your shirt, the color of your hair is top notch, no kitty cat I feel a bit cringy though
Hello from France.
I may switch from skin/lw to herb/ench now... So tempting for the profit turn around... Would love to get to a point where I can just buy wow tokens to play
Which UI Addon are you using?
The bag rarely shows up and when it does its for the harder raids that are impossible to complete with pugs.
Hi, I should have a question about BfA professions. I want to make a second character with mining.What would you recommend as a second profession for Gold making? Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting or Engineering?
Thank you for your answer
Herbalism......if you absolutely feel you must take a crafting profession then take Jewel for gems. Eng can be fun but has nothing to do with gold this xpac lol.
I run Firelands you can make a out 1k raw gold and another 1k in loot sales with greens as a bonus... I average about 3-5k per too per week take me 15 min per run. Not great but I like the raid.
what are your settings because your game looks so good
Engineer helm is worth it, haven't come across a better on all my toons.
hazel what is the addons you use like the one saying this in not learned and where a item is from on the mouse over window?
flip alot and i just started leatherworking for my shaman, let's see how it goes
