Hello,
I would like to know if you have tips for gold making ? I want to pay token for each account, but one token costs 200k on my server, so i need 1 million gold each month.
Thanks a lot !

Sadly, a lot of the lucrative stuff has dried up. I did herbing/mining, but the prices have fell to the floor.
If you don't mind grinding there is still some value in doing Sentinax for BoE's with required lvl 101. These sometimes can be 50k.
Even then though trying to net a million may be tough. I'm sure someone else has better ideas. It has to be doable.

Maxed out gold making at the beginning of expansion and supplement the token cost with pre paid cards. Can get them cheap ~$8 per month for a year. I bought several 1 year game time cards off ebay for $90-100 or 60 day cards for $15-20. I certainly didnt want to be spending a majority of my play time grinding gold.
Even though I havent played legion at all, my wifes still plays wow and I am considering starting back up again. This is what we used to do.

How legitimate is the ebay game time cards if you end up getting an invalid or already used key?

Host Your Own Egg Hunt or Transfer Gold
Noblegarden vendors also sell Poorly Painted Egg, Intricately-Painted Egg, and Magnificently-Painted Egg for gold.
Place these eggs on the ground and they will all look exactly the same.
Each egg type is unique, so you can only have one in your inventory at a time.
Each egg can be looted by only one player and will contain a gray-quality item that can be sold to a vendor for 90% of the original egg purchase price.
The eggs can be seen by anyone around you, so they are a useful way to transfer gold between realms or factions (with a 10% loss).
Level Type Name Cost Model Viewer
1 Other Poorly-Painted Egg 10
1 Other Intricately-Painted Egg 10
1 Other Magnificently-Painted Egg 1,000
When i saw this post on mmo champ i thought it would be adecent way to xfer gold to a realm with cheap token prices. Not sure how tedious it would be or if its even possible though.
Xfer 1 mill gold u get 900k. On my realm tokens are 98k. Much better than 200k each.

Hello,
Thanks for your advices. But for Noblegarden, it will end soon and i'm looking for a steady way. But i will try this.
Unfortunatly i cannot change region of my account, so i cannot buy token for 98k. :(

I have never had an issue via ebay. I usually get the key emailed to me right away.

Here are some of the methods i use Everyday to make my gold, Currently pulling in about 1.8-2.5million a month.
Hyper Spawn farming:
I spend a lot of time in suramar city farming for cloth, Boes, Blood of Sargeras loot bags etc.
This farm is Fantastic with hunters "not bad with the warlocks" and i discovered it on twitch by a streamer, "https://www.twitch.tv/pechthefarmer" I can't really give any Gold per hour value because i really don't track it
1902
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUDiiSdkd-g&feature=youtu.be
This hyperspawn feeds my Tailoring and enchanting, making more gold around the BoEs and Blood of sargeras. With the cloth i craft and disenchant rank 3 Silkweave bracers and this gets me thousands of arkhana a day as well as some chaos crystals "i also turn some cloth into imbued for crafting armor". i also currently run 3 teams of 5 and Every toon is an enchanter to get max materials possible in my day to day
My main source of Chaos crystals currently is Dauntless gear and Epic drop world quests, Most of my dauntless gear is farmed through the nether disruptor and farming the portals that are usable with said structure active, Each portal rare has a 100% chance to drop 1 dauntless item per toon, So each portal is 5 crystals and last time the disruptor was active i killed a total of 212 portal rares "1060" Choas crystals in roughly 3 days. The nether disprutor rares also have chances at dropping Netherclusters which on my realm sell for roughly 20-30k
With my blood of sargeras i have been using to craft/sell the new Legendary items from the broken shore as well as potions of prolonged power, the potions sell very well.
A good tool to use to find the value of your blood of sargeras is Theunderminedjournal.com (https://theunderminejournal.com/#us) You select your realm and on the right side is an option for blood of sargeras, it will tell you what the most expensive item from the vendor/crafting is currently.
Also another long term goal you should set is maxing out your followers in you orderhalls for missions, it is a very lengthy process but once to got a full team or 2 running max level gold missions every day you can easily be pulling an extra 10-20k a day just for clicking a few buttons
""also, Token prices are region specific, So within EU you are going to be paying 200k+ for a token on Every server""

I wonder how this would be with Boomkins? I already have Hunters, but did Sentinax today with a pug and the Boomy aoe was pretty nuts.

i imagine it would be pretty decent :O i keep meaning to get the balance weapons on my druid team, possibly more effective than the locks.
"""possibly a few seconds quicker""" ^^^

Thanks a lot Nezreck, i will try this method!
I've been waiting a nerf on Suramar Loyalists spawn rates, but yeah they still spawn instantly, unless you have a character too close on their spawning point. Awesome spot for ranged aoe teams without downtime :) I discovered this by accident while doing a WQ there, something about looting orbs and releasing prisoners. Farmed the hell out of that place with 10*arcane mage team; While the Arcane Explosion is a decent spell nowadays, it's not ranged, and the team had to run back and forth to make the loyalists spawn faster

Man it would suck if they nerfed this spot :O i love just sitting at a hyperspawn and watching netflix :P Tab target cast macros for the win

They always get nerfed.. doesn't take them long to figure out people staying in one spot for hours on end..

I tried out the Hyper spawn in Suramar, it was nice to stay stationary and dps. I did it for about 30 minutes but was unsure how much gold I was actually generating. Arkhana and shards have really taken a dive in prices on the AH.
The biggest question is how long I can let the mobs sit before they need to be looted. Any numbers on that?
Lance
05-01-2017, 01:53 PM
I was wondering about that too. I just hit my fetch key every now and again so was no hassle. It is a great spot though there is even a vendor 5 seconds away when your bags get full.
Kojiiko
05-01-2017, 02:03 PM
They despawn around the 1.40 minute mark so I make a simple macro of
/sw 01:20/sw play
this allow my stopwatch to count time giving me enough time to get out of combat and loot the goodies.
I used to DE all the greens but now Im getting so many and that the market on Arkhana is so low i tend to vendor the greens and contiune farming this spot.
Nezreck

i believe the average time for loot to remain on a non elite mob is 2 minutes

Nether disruptor came up yesterday on my realm but it is capped now at 50 per day it looks like. And I think no chance of netherclusters anymore but more legionfall supplies.

Just to educate some of you, the price of tokens is shared between all servers in a region.. he pays 195K because he is in europe, chinese price is 350k, Taiwanese is 243k, Korea is 357k, and North America is 100K... so all this talk of transferring gold is unwise and unhelpful to this situation, as you cannot transfer anything between regions at all ever.
https://wowtoken.info/ has all the prices for each region updated regularly throughout the day
on the main topic, you should get your lvl 3 garrisons, L3 barns with goldmane, and L3 storehouses, and 25x extreme gatherer on each character and turn your garrison missions twice a day and buy barn rush orders and turn fur work orders every 5 days, a set of tauren druids for gathering, and every other character to 800 on crafting professions that make the Legos
from the above, I am making ~250k per account on the garrison barns/mission per month, sometimes more depending on how many barn rush orders I can make, use the fur generated to feed tailors and engineer as the market for hexweave bags and goblin gliders is endless, as well as fairly regular potion of rapid mind rewarded from the garrison missions. the crafters to 800 have made about 13 million gold since 7.2, althought that is decreasing rapidly, my blacksmiths are also cranking out as many steelbound harness as I can get bloods for. when all else fails I take the druids now to uldum and farm pyrite for my alchem to make vial of the sands. Of course I am a no life neckbeard living on disability truly in my mothers basement so I can afford to play wow 20 hours a day

I've never done anything with my garrison yet since I skipped wod. Might have to go back and have a look. Are you pretty much just trying to churn out as much fur to make into hexweave bags?

Hexweave bags are gated because of Heaxweave cloth. If you churn out fur you won't be able to turn most of into bags. If you could the price of the bags would be much lower.

In case anyone doesn't know, there is a 2nd recipe for Hexweave Cloth that doesn't have a daily cooldown. However, it uses Primal Spirits. (1 spirit + 10 fur = 2 Hexweave Cloth)

Turns out it's too tedious for me too lol. Got bored of it very quickly. I still like doing the class hall missions, just wish I got more gold missions to do. I've been using my tradeskills to make money recently. I had leveled them up for my own use but have gone into selling stuff. Mostly JC and Enchanting. Mining in broken shore is great there are alot of seams and you can collect so much more with flying. It would actually be a nice earner just itself. I sometimes sell off some excess ore for 25-29g for Leystone and 39g for Felslate. Usually goes that high at least a couple of times a week.
I've been doing the nether portal grind for chaos crystals but it's not really worth it I don't think. I am doing it for now though cos of the other benefits. I stopped doing mythics and this is gearing me up and also getting artifact power and I want the achievements for 50 turn ins to each. Once they are done I think I will lose the motivation for this.

Hello,
For a 10 box team, do you think it can be good to farm Nighthold trash mobs for Boe ?
Thanks

People are farming it with 5.. so yes.. 10 would be better

i would say it depends massively on your server, My server AH is absolutely Flooded with BoEs from nighthold and it would have to titanforge huge in order for me to make a decent profit from the item vs time spent, One farm i have been abusing the absolute crap out of is the suramar hyper spawn for 101 BoEs and it's nuts man, i'm pulling about 200-300k gold value in boes per day and that's just with 5 toons, 10 would be pretty amazing if you set up both teams in the same spot under different phases

Here is an example of this farm, On the left is a portion of my sold items from the last 14 days, and on the right is my sales from the last 5 days. All the items here are from this farm except for those legendary crafted of course. The profits are pretty nuts for hitting 2 buttons over and over while watching netflix

How long do you spend farming per day?!! I have spent a fair bit of time farming here and enjoy it when I am in the mood (I also watch tv while doing it). Looking at your sales your average sale is under 30k so to make 200-300k per day you are looking at something like 7-11 drops a day. That is pretty crazy. The most I have ever had in a day was 6 and I spent at least 5 hours doing it. I can farm here for a couple of hours and only get one drop. I'm going to start tracking my luck in terms of drops per hour just out of interest. Off the top of my head I'd say it's about a drop an hour.

And what addons do you use for AH ?

i spend roughly 4-5 hours there a day with my locks, The epics from this farm are really nice but i also min max every possible part of this farm, tailoring for much more cloth, enchanting for getting more out of the greens as well as the blood hunter enchant to sell potions of prolonged power, The extra stuff is a large part. i recently cleared my sales data because tsm was getting too big :P but the last 7-10ish days are available

the location is 1919 and the mobs are the Suramar Loyalists
1920You want to stand here where this hunter group is currently standing and use a simple /targetenemy macro and just spam your ranged ability
