How do you make so much gold?

[Ualaa]

I'd aim for an army of alchemists.
Ideally every toon has Alchemy.

Use Daily Quests for gold, if you cannot afford to buy herbs.
You can herb too, but I'd do dailies mostly and buy herbs; that will be a lot faster.

At this stage, you won't make a ton with Alchemy.
But you'll make a bit, each day for pressing a button.
At the start of MoP, there will be a transmute that will be in high demand.

I made 800K in 2 months, by doing Alchemy transmutes on 37 toons across my teams.
Took around an hour a day.

1 hour a day farming for me is worth about 8k gold from cloth on my server, if you farm 1 hour a day you make 240k a month, and don't have to level up a bunch of toons.

I use to do the same thing as you did as you know, it was great in wrath and can be alright in this expansion.

My main point is as follows;
Unless you want vanity items that are expensive as shit, or PVE gear to make instances easier you will not need gold over 10k a day for enchants/gems/etc

If you want gold fast... farm for it, or make an army of alchemists/tailors for MoP.

If you farm for 1 hour a day and 5 hours per weekend day you're going to end up with about 400k a month. If you are like me and have alch/enchanting/jc etc you can turn that 400k into 800k a month easily.

Making gold is all about what you want to put time into. Want to put all your time in up front? Level alchs/tailors and have some spare gold to make sure you can buy mats for your crap. Want to just do it when you can? Farm for things that you can get a lot of and sell for decent values.

Overall just have fun with the game. If one method is more fun than the other... do it.

If you REALLY want to make the most money you can per month run a setup of 50 alchemists + 43 tailors and 1 of every other profession, make sure that jc + enchanting are on max level characters. On top of pressing x-mute and sending the mats off for 30 mins (depending on what you are doing it should not take you longer than this to do this). Take the gold made from the sale of the processed items and re-invest it in other professions with high profit margin. While you are not playing the AH you should be farming high margin items. If you do this 5 hours a day theres no reason you should not hit a mill gold in about 3 weeks.

Other than things like spectral tigers and such though... you will NEVER need that amount of gold. The only thing i spend gold on really now are things for other games, or game time, or w/e... and now that i have that paid up for a year on my shit theres no need to farm and I even just spent 500k on riot points for league of legends since that game with friends is so much fun.


TLDR; 1 year of farming 1 hour a day smartly will net you nearly 3 million gold. If you can spend 3 million gold in a year theres something wrong.

I think I'd rather spoon my eyeballs out.

To each their own I suppose.
