WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Phase 2 Secret Zero-Combat Gold Farming Methods Every Casual Player Shouldn't Miss!
The massive new raids introduced in WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Phase 2 inherently require a substantial gold investment to complete successfully; furthermore, the in-game economy has recently been plagued by instability.
Consequently, efficient gold farming is expected to be a daily routine throughout Phase 2. To achieve this, you must master the relevant strategies and techniques.
We have previously highlighted hidden spots in Phase 2 where you can farm large amounts of gold, but those methods typically required you to engage in combat to obtain loot drops.
However, beyond combat, numerous other factors can, often unbeknownst to you, determine the amount of gold you acquire. In this guide, we will point these out to you.
Trade on the right days
Given the current in-game environment, if you intend to shop or stockpile items via the auction house, Sunday is the optimal day to do so. Late Wednesday nights also frequently present excellent opportunities to acquire consumables.
In other words, regardless of which type of flask you plan to use over the coming week, two weeks, or even longer, it is best to stockpile your entire supply in a single batch on a Sunday.
First and foremost, Tuesdays and Thursdays typically serve as raid nights for most major guilds. Therefore, you should generally avoid shopping on these specific days. Strictly speaking, you should even try to avoid making large-scale invests during the workweek in general.
Take Flask of Blinding Light as an example: under normal circumstances, it costs between 140 and 180 gold. However, if you acquire it on a Sunday, you might be able to acquire one for as little as 125 gold.
Advantages of Tailoring Profession
Choosing the tailoring profession allows you to utilize various materials to craft items for sale, thereby generating gold. With this in mind, we highly recommend crafting Imbued Netherweave Bags as a starting point.
This is an 8-slot bag, an ideal choice for alt characters (alternate characters) or for anyone simply looking to free up space within their bank inventory.
To craft this bag, you must ensure that Tailoring is one of your active professions, and you must have learned Pattern: Imbued Netherweave Bag. Typically, crafting a single Imbued Netherweave Bag yields a profit of approximately 3 TBC Classic Anniversary gold.
Although the profit per unit is modest, this method generates income with virtually zero effort. Furthermore, once you have honed your tailoring skills, you can craft bags much faster and sell them in larger batches to maximize your earnings.
Another item worth crafting is Silver Spellthread, which typically generates an income of about 6 to 12 gold.
Although market fluctuations may occasionally result in lower profits, this item remains in constant demand given that it provides 46 points of healing, 16 points of spell damage, and 15 points of Stamina.
In the current game meta, whether you play a Restoration Shaman, a Restoration Druid, or any other character seeking enchantments, especially an alt, equipping this item is standard practice.
Finally, crafting Primal Mooncloth can also be profitable, yielding quite handsome returns. A single finished item typically sells for around 37 gold, while the cost of acquiring the necessary crafting materials is only about 11 gold.
However, it is important to note that the crafting recipe for this item carries a cooldown of 3 days and 20 hours. Therefore, it is best to stockpile your finished products and wait for market conditions to be at their most favorable before selling them all at once.
Advantages of Enchanting Profession
Interestingly, the primary method for earning gold with this profession is not through enchanting itself, but rather through disenchanting. Once your Enchanting skill reaches level 225, you gain the ability to break down gear via disenchanting.
If you disenchant uncommon items, armor, or weapons ranging from levels 100 to 120, you will obtain a vital enchanting material known as Greater Planar Essence; selling this material is a reliable way to earn gold.
If you ever find that the materials obtained through disenchanting are not worth selling, perhaps because it would be more cost-effective to simply unlock them from a vendor, you can instead choose to distribute these materials among your raid teammates.
This approach allows you to reach an agreement with your teammates: whenever they receive gear drops that are of no use to them, they can simply pass them on to you, allowing you to continue turning their trash into treasure!
Advantages of Alchemy Profession
If you choose to become an Alchemist, the most effective way to earn extra gold is to master the transmute ability. By acquiring the relevant recipes to transmute Earthstorm Diamonds, you can generate approximately 15 to 25 gold per transmutation.
Another excellent crafting option within Alchemy is Oil of Immolation. As a consumable item, it deals 50 points of fire damage every 3 seconds to all enemies within a 5-yard radius of the caster, lasting for 15 seconds.
Consequently, whether you choose to sell it for profit or keep it for your own personal use during raids, this remains an incredibly practical and useful item.
Typically, crafting a single bottle requires an investment of 1 gold and 20 silver, yielding a net profit of 60 silver coins, and the best part is, it is incredibly easy to craft.
In short, amidst all the combat, do not overlook mechanics like professions; while they may seem like casual pastimes, they can be instrumental in helping you accumulate additional wealth. Here's wishing you financial freedom for the remainder of BCC Anniversary Phase 2!
EA FC 26 World's Game Brings an Unofficial Full World Cup Mode | Log in to claim your free Icon
The globally anticipated World Cup is set to kick off in June, and no football fan would want to miss this grand event. As one of the finest football games available, EA FC 26 will also introduce corresponding activities for World Cup.
During World Cup, FC 26 will start a new mode called World's Game. Although the game lacks official licensing from FIFA, this update will bring a World Cup tournament mode along with plenty of additional content for Ultimate Team.
Overview of World's Game
At its core, World's Game features an international tournament mode involving 48 teams - essentially FC 26's version of a World Cup mode. However, note that while the update package named World's Game has already been released, the tournament mode itself will not officially open until June 4th.
Because World's Game is an unofficially licensed World Cup mode, the game will not include the official World Cup match ball, trophy, or associated brand logos; instead, it will feature an original generic trophy.
The game will offer 53 fully licensed and playable national teams, including 41 that will take part in this summer's tournament. If some real-life participating teams are missing, you can replace them with nations that failed to qualify.
Furthermore, after the server update on June 4th, players can roll back and fully reset Evolutions in their clubs. If a reset player was originally tradeable, they will revert to being tradeable, allowing you to sell them again and recover FC 26 coins.
World's Game Mode
Starting June 4th, players can experience this standalone 48-team tournament mode. The competition fully mirrors the real-life format, featuring three rounds of group matches. The top two from each group advance directly, and additionally, the eight best third-place finishers across all groups will also secure a spot in the knockout stage. From there, the tournament proceeds through the round of 32 all the way to the final.
You can choose traditional powerhouses like Brazil, England, or France, or explore emerging football stories such as Cabo Verde and Uzbekistan. Some teams, like Bosnia and Herzegovina and Democratic Republic of the Congo, will initially use generic kits at the time of June 4 update, but these will be replaced with authentic kits in a later update.

Some newly added national teams, such as Algeria, do not have 100% full licensing. Their default squads are not composed of real player names. However, the solution is simple: you can manually adjust the lineup by bringing in real players like Morris and Nori. With just a little time, you can restore the authentic squads for these national teams.
Ultimate Team Mode
World's Game update also brings a range of seasonal content to Ultimate Team mode. Players who log in and play FC 26 between June 5th and July 24th will receive a free 93 OVR Festival of Football ICON Pelé, along with three "Choose Your Journey" Evolutions.
Additionally, World's Game update introduces over 100 new international players and adds two new Icons: Rivelino and Mario Kempes. In FUT 26, Festival of Football PlayStyles Lab, Journey of Nations, and other features will be available for players to earn tokens. You can acquire Festival of Football Tokens by playing multiple modes during the event:
Modes where you can obtain tokens:
Rivals
Squad Battles
Rush
Live Events
Select Objectives
Select SBCs
During the event, the developers will also open Foot Champions Store, where you can trade items using Foot Champions Tokens. The developers will not sell token packs; you can only acquire them by playing various modes in FC 26.
Balance Adjustments
Balance adjustments have been made to Bruiser and Bruiser+ PlayStyles to better align the relationship between PlayStyles and player attributes. Now, players without Intercept PlayStyle but with an Intercept attribute of 90 or higher can use the same animations as those who have that PlayStyle.
Career Mode
World's Game also introduces new nations and teams in Career Mode. When you start Career Mode from the beginning, you can choose these teams and lead your players in "World Cup."
For example, if you choose to take over Norway, the timeline will advance to the summer of 2026. The fixture schedule will be fully synchronized with reality: you will face Senegal, then France, and then Iraq. However, note that the complete schedule and squads will only be fully implemented in the final squad update on June 4th.
In summary, despite lacking official licensing, World's Game update for FC 26 recreates 2026 World Cup as faithfully as possible through its extensive roster of national teams and complete 48-team tournament structure, ensuring that no player has to miss out on this grand event.
