News Tag: SOD Gold Farming Guide

With Season of Discovery Phase 3 just around the corner, do you need some gold? Accumulating gold is necessary to purchase high-end gear, rare mounts, glyphs, and gems. Don’t miss this guide if you don’t want to waste most of your game time on ineffective ways of farming gold.

In this guide, I will show you 6 efficient ways to make money in WOW Classic SOD to help you become richer as quickly as possible. Without further ado, let’s get started!

Dustbelcher Ogre

Let’s start method one: we first need to go to Badlands, find and kill Dustbelcher Ogre. They mainly focus on these two points on the map.

These ogres have some pretty good base drops and can give you a steady income of WOW Classic SOD Gold. On top of that, they can also drop some Waylaid Supplies, and if you’re lucky, you might even get Bow of Searing Arrows. This method can earn an average of 35 gold coins per hour.

Note that you may often see a group of four Ogre walking around here. You can kill them, but there are some spellcasters among them, so stay alert.

Besides, there are some treasure chests around Ogre camps. Whenever possible, feel free to hunt for treasure chests to get some extra gold.

Deathstrike Tarantula

Turning to method two, we need to head to Swamp of Sorrows, where we will encounter Deathstrike Tarantula. They can be found in these areas of the map.

By killing Deathstrike Tarantula, you can earn 45 gold per hour. However, you need to pay attention to the lower right part of this map. When there is no Tarantula, there will be Tangled Horrors walking around, and you can kill these Horrors for a chance of getting a Heart of the Wild or some good BOE items.

If you’ve got some good AOE damage and the cooldown is extended, then every time a lot of Murlocs get together, walk along the coast and kill them at will, then go back and kill Tarantula.

A final tip is to save your Spider Meat for exchange rate reset day. It will be slightly more expensive on this day, so you’ll get some extra WoW SoD Gold.

Truesilver Deposit

Method three, we will return to Badlands. There are a lot of Truesilver Deposits around Badlands, but we’ll focus on the top right corner. Because Truesilver Deposit in this corner is a Hyper Spawn, you can walk around in circles and keep mining gold. You can earn at least 52 gold per hour here.

Be warned, it gets very crowded here, so try to come here early in the morning or late at night when no one will bother you. There are also Little Dragons flying around there, feel free to kill them as they will drop items worth 50 Silver Coins.

Don’t forget to use Enchant Gloves with +5 mining while farming. This will greatly increase your hourly earnings.

Uldaman Dungeon

Next, let’s come to method four, Uldaman Dungeon. Because as Phase 3 approaches, the prices of BOE items are dropping. Therefore, you can buy some rare consumables at prices close to the vendors and sell them at the beginning of the next phase to make huge profits.

Arena Treasure Chest

Method five is very simple, but still worth mentioning: it is Arena Treasure Chest. Use alts in the arena and try to loot Treasure Chest every time you spawn. It is generated every 3 hours, and the time it is generated is also known. Therefore, with this method, you can steadily earn additional income.

Dark Hooded Cape

The last method, which is also short, is to farm Dark Hooded Cape. This is a blue cloak worth 200-300 gold, dropped by an elite mob named Nimar. This elite mob spawns every 8 hours. To make it easier to spot him, you can use addons to locate Nimar.

The above are the 6 profitable farming methods that I commonly use in WOW Classic SOD. Try it now, accumulate more coins and take the lead in Phase 3.

In this guide, I’m going to reveal my gold making blueprint, the way I’ve made over 900 gold in WoW Season of Discovery so far. These are methods that, if you do them, not only will result in consistent gold, fast gold, sales of 12 gold, 30 gold, 40 gold, 50 gold in your mailbox day after day after day. These methods should continue to work for a very long time.

I’m going to share methods that do not require open world farming. They don’t require you to go to RFK and solo it by yourself or boost people in RFC. These are methods you can do with any character, and they’re things I do every single day. I’m going to share my absolute best gold making secrets, so stick around and let’s make some WoW SoD Gold together.

First 100 Gold

Before we get into the meat and potatoes, the methods that are going to make you so much money, we’ve got to have at least a little of money to play around and buy recipes from the vendors, flip on the Auction House.

So, the methods I would recommend when you’re just getting started, you just hit level 25.

Questing

First of all, of course, questing.

Questing when you are level 25, you get bonus gold based on the XP you would have gotten from the quest. So, that’s a great way to start up your nest egg and your money-making journey.

Dark Iron Ordinance Farming

After doing some questing, I would also recommend Dark Iron Ordinance farming. So, you can make between 6 to 8 gold per hour from this farm. It’s just like the Winterfall Echo farming.

This is how I made my first 100 gold. And the more money you start with, the more you can do on the Auction House, the more you can do with the vendors. It just snowballs your money-making process so much.

Vendor Camping

On top of the Dark Iron Ordinance farming, I also did something that you Vendor Camping can do right now, which is the DMF vendor camping. And it has made me over 200 gold very easily.

Just park a bunch of level 1 alts at the Darkmoon Faire. You can layer swap, camp, set timers for yourself, and buy all the Scrolls of Strength & the Scrolls of Agility. There are so many good items at the Darkmoon Faire.

What’s cool is you could just send a character over there with like 30 silver and come back later that day. You have 30 gold worth of items to sell.

Once you’ve built up a stack of gold, this is where you can do some really cool money-making flips involving people being really lazy in the game.

Chronoboons Displacer

The first one is the Chronoboons Displacer flip.

In places like Orgrimmar on my high-level character, I can get Chronoboons for 18 silver each. During the peak hours, these consistently can sell for 28 to 30 silver each. I’ve sold over a 100 Chronoboons across all of my characters. And it is a consistent moneymaker.

You might think nobody is lazy enough to get a Chronoboons on the Auction House. But trust me, even myself knowing where the vendor is, I was too lazy one day. I bought 3 Chronoboons at the Auction House.

If you really think about it, people aren’t buying that many consumables on the Auction House, but one thing they have to have when they go in the raid is the Chronoboon. You don’t want to lose your Darkmoon Faire buff with your 10% damage. And you don’t want to lose that insane Boon of Blackfathom buff either.

Some people are going to do stupid things. They’re going to overbuy Chronoboons and they’re going to put them for like 18 silver on the Auction House. But trust me, most days you can sell these for a 10 silver profit margin very consistently.

Nightcrawlers

Another infinite item you can get is Nightcrawlers. People need Nightcrawlers for the Aquadynamic Fish Attractor.

Believe it or not, most people in the game are fishing right now, so that’s a very quick selling item to make. Making the Aquadynamic Fish Attractor is great, but just selling the Nightcrawlers alone can make you a three times profit margin as well.

There are so many items from vendors with unlimited stocks that you can flip all day long, and they’re consistently going to sell.

Heavy Crocolisk Stew

Another example of that would be the Heavy Crocolisk Stew recipe. Of course, most people know the Heavy Crocolisk Stew is the best food in the game because of the 8 Spirit and the 8 Stamina. But the recipe from Dustwallow Marsh is kind of pain again.

On the Horde side, you can flip that for anywhere from two to three times profit margin, getting maybe 60 to 80 silver per recipe. On the Alliance side, though, people are so desperate, so you can sell these on the neutral Auction House for more profit. Sometimes they can sell for even 3 to 4 gold each.

Invoker’s Mantle

Another example of an unlimited item flip would be the new Invoker recipes - Invoker’s Mantle. You can get these from Orgrimmar or Darnassus, and people really don’t know where to get them.

I’ve been making 10 to 15 silver profit margin on these recipes, and they sell pretty quickly.

To me, though, you shouldn’t just copy these items. You should find your own items out there that people are buying consistently, and you can flip them for a big profit.

Waylaid Supply Arbitrage

Once you’ve got a nice consistent driver, like the Chronoboon flips, I also recommend the Waylaid Supply Arbitrage.

So, by now, you probably know about the Waylaid Supplies. You get the Waylaid Supply from maybe a chest in the open world, maybe a mob, and then you turn it in for some reputation.

The thing about this is if you fill in the box, of course, you get more reputation. So, a lot of people are out there. They don’t want to waste time going back and getting more boxes. They want to get the additional reputation. They’re going to fill these boxes out no matter what the price is.

There is so much money to be made in Waylaid Supplies right now. The secret is to not just know which items fill the boxes, but exactly the amounts that fill the boxes.

Smoked Bear Meat

An example of this would be the Smoked Bear Meat.

Now, cooking Smoked Bear Meat typically would not be very profitable, but when you sell them in stacks of 20 for the Waylaid Supplies, you can make 2 to 3 silver per Bear Meat.

Heavy Wool Bandage

Another example would be the Heavy Wool Bandage.

You might think you should sell them in stacks of 20, but the actual correct amount is 15. You can easily make 15 to 20 gold a day just from doing this kind of flip, and it’s really easy.

Ornate Spyglass

Another really good example is the Ornate Spyglasses.

These typically have a 20 silver profit margin, and people are always buying them for the Waylaid Supply Crate.

My recommendation would be to have characters with every single profession. I’m currently working on alts for all the professions, and I highly recommend you do the same thing as well.

To sum up, all of these methods have made me hundreds of gold.

Darkmoon Storage Box

But I want to give you my very best method right now. This is the method that has made me over 400 gold very easily. The solution is Darkmoon Faire Storage Boxes.

Now, people really aren’t buying consumables when they raid. They’re kind of just saving their gold. But one thing people do, especially gold buyers, is they will always want to have maximum size bags.

So, people are going in they’re buying bags and the Darkmoon Faire box is a 14-slot bag that is really easy to get. You can do these repeatable quests and there’s no limitation to how many times you can do them.

The way it works is basically you turn in crafted items and then you get Darkmoon Faire tickets. With 50 tickets, you can buy a Darkmoon Storage Box and sell it on the Auction House.

The key here is that you can only have 1 box in your inventory at the same time. However, you can have unlimited in the mailbox.

Sometimes you can get a Darkmoom Storage Box for 5 gold using these items and then you can flip it for 15 gold or even more than that. I’m consistently making 6 to 7 gold per box every single day and I sell anywhere from 10 to 15 a day.

The big secret is to only put them in for 2 hours at a time. That way, you can cancel an undercut you always want to be the top box on the Auction House.

So, the Darkmoon box strategy is a really good way to make money. And if you follow all of these methods, you can easily make hundreds of gold per week.
