Right, so this is what i got !

- 6x Druids - level 120
- BFA flying
- low ilvl
- Herbalism - BFA - all rank 3

The herb prices is kinda low, so i dont even know if its worth the time, and if it even can pay off what the 6x subs will cost.


Can anyone shred some light on how i should approach this :() ?

I doubt anyone is going to tell you how to easily earn enough to cover your subs. You need to adapt and cover more areas in the game than just herbing.
This require effort, straight up, + time.

If you cant commit to keep on top of things to buy/resell etc, you can join the solution many others do: paying irl cash for subs.
Then you can enjoy the game and never have to farm ever again.

So there is 0 suggestions, on how a new multibox user can scrape some gold together, besides doing herbing ?

Sorry to disappoint you, but like in real life, in order to really earn a lot of currency, you usually have to work for it.

If it was easy to earn gold.. every player would be playing for free, right.



Herbing is a nice way to earn quite a bit of gold (my best was like 15k per node!), but usually only max during the first few months of an expansion, aften that, the prices drops a LOT, since more and more players starts to herb).


Once someone find a nice way to earn truckloads of gold, the method usually isnt revealed until its benefits starts to nosedive (thats when you see it in youtube guides etc).



"Be creative. Get in there. Earn that gold" (and tell no one) :p

Yh i know, but thanks for responding.

I do have 1 more question though, i wanna try a specific farm. Its where im standing rather stationary with 6x balance druids and my monk, killing stuff - what is the best/easiest approach to loot stuff - on all the toons ?

Oh, forgot the most important one. Should i be doing it in a raid grp (7 ppl), or 1x3 + 1x4 grps ?

Thanks for this.

Right, so i tried the spot in Suramar, but doing 2k gold per hour, probably due to ilvl 370-415 is the cause. But its also super overcrowded.

Is there a difference in looting out in the world vs. in a dungeon ?
I mean, does all my dudus get to loot the same mob like in the open world ?

Im on a very busy server, so im wondering if a dungeon would better suit me, as most spots are crowded AF.

Right now its a tough time to make gold...

You're best bet with 6 right now...
There's a 2k Gold Emissary quest up.. these are always easy gold...
You can do 3 of the patch 8.3 assaults per week which have about a 50% chance to give you 2k per character...
The Silithus transmog farm is good for 6..
The Nazmir spot can be done with 6 if you're alliance
I would check out babypowders videos on youtube too for lots of old world farms that can be done with 6...

Dungeons are generally horrible to multibox.

If you're willing to gather, at this point you might get more value out of doing some old world gathering.

Arcane crystals have some decent values, I believe ghost mushrooms are another one that sells quite nicely.

Sometimes you have to figure out things by yourself. Sometimes people don't want their secrets becoming well known to the point that they can't use it themselves anymore. Life is hard. Look at herbing, it's overrun and terrible gold now. Hardly anyone was herbing at launch compared to now. Same with every farm spot made known. And when the bots get a hold of the knowledge, it's done.

If i were to do it all again. I would have gathered herbs for a few weeks at launch. Those who did made millions! I was in a rush to level a few teams. For shadowlands i will try gathering, but who knows how it will be this time. Another thing i should have done is level all my teams to max for WQs. Not only are there the 2k gold emissary quest now and then, once you hit exalted, you get the bonus chest that contain 3-5k gold every now and then. Not to mention being able to disenchant/break down the items you get. Several teams doing WQs everyday would be great money. The only money i make now is from salvaged/DEd goods.. the gold from WQs and emissaries. Anyway, even with my lack of focus for gaining gold, i rarely have less than one million in the guild bank.

Sure did, made 20 million with ease at the start lol
Come Shadowlands I will be doing opposite, Not farming, but levelling + gearing.
But I have enough gold for now so that's probably why I am not keen to making any via farming in new xpac so soon

Farm at the start or just play the AH. Both are tedious, but one of them yields xp.

They took away gold emissaries, but the 100% rep boost is back for September so if you farm Rep and emissaries it will be much easier to cap rep and get a few Paragon chests for 5k each per character.

Hyperspawn farming or just AH sniping are probably the two most lucrative ways to make gold. Make sure you also have a Netflix subscription as you're going to be mad with boredom.

Wouldnt time be better spent earning more money in real life? I buy 1 year subs on ebay for $100 which is $8/month. I have even purchased other players battle.net balance for 50% of value(you can gift it). I just dont understand the argument for grinding for hours on end just to get free sub time.

With that said, I love the players who grind/farm/herb for hours everyday to pay for their subs. It ensures a good supply of tokens so I dont have to waste my precious time farming for gold. So for that I thank you.

Sure it is - But maybe not everyone has the luxury of being able to spend reallife money on Wow, or take extra hours. Or they want to use there reallife money on reallife stuff and use gold to play for free.

And we are still in a pandemic where a lot of people lives have been changed.

I can pay my 9 account with a AH account and 1 hour daylig farming, so I pay with gold.

I get it. Whatever the reason or rational, I am thankful players are willing to spend their time farming for my gold.

Its actually ingenious by Blizzard. They have created a volunteer army of employees, paying them slave labor and they think they are getting something for free. They even charge a buyer premium for their product.
