News Tag: WOTLK Classic Gold Farming Guide

In WOTLK Classic Phase 3, being able to make thousands of gold is extremely important. You’ll want to be able to gear up your fresh alts with BOEs and load up your existing characters with full BIS. With that in mind, you need a daily route that can bring in at least 5,000 gold per week.

Here, I will share my exact daily route. That’ll make you over a thousand gold in an hour every single day.

1. Pick Up The Daily Heroic

Since ToC is the phase for alts with 30 minute raids, I’ve been taking advantage of my various level 80 characters to make more WOTLK Classic Gold in less time.

The first thing I always do is I pick up the Daily Heroic quest. This is the first quest I’ll do every single day on every character. Doing the Daily Heroic quest gives me 49 gold and 5 Emblems of Triumph. And that puts me a third of the way towards the Crusader Orb, which is still over 300 gold each on my server.

I’m also getting a Sidereal Essence from every completed dungeon. So, that’s another third of a conquest or right there. Of course, if it’s the daily normal in the same dungeon, I’ll always try to stack them together as well.

2. Jewel Crafting Daily

When I’m cued for the Daily Heroic, I’m always trying to pick up the Jewelcrafting Dailies at this point right now, which is over 150 gold per day.

I’ve already pre-farmed at least 10 of every Jewelcrafting Daily in advance and I restock every single month. Another nice trick is that you can farm the Scourge Curio from Heroic Dungeon, so I can get two things done at the same time.

Whenever I go to turn in the quest, I can just put my Jeeves down and then pull out the relevant item and hand it in. With five characters right now, you’d be making over 750 gold per day in under two minutes.

Also, at this point, I like to craft an Icy Prism, which sometimes can contain Epic Gems, which makes them really worth it. Speaking of Icy Prisms, I have been stocking up Frozen Orbs every day for investment purposes. Those Frozen Orbs have some good uses next phase and they should go up in value.

3. Check The Auction House

The next thing I do every day is to check my 10 favorite jewelcrafting cuts. Depending on the profit margins, I could make even up to 3,000 gold per day.

If you’re an Enchanter or an Alchemist or any other profession on your alts, you can replicate the step on those characters, too. I highly recommend an addon called “TradeSkillMaster”, which can automate a lot of the processes like checking crafting profit per item. I made a TradeSkillMaster Group, which made things a lot easier.

But first, I typed TSM craft and then I loaded the jewelcrafting group. Then, I went to the TSM settings by typing TSM and I made a new group. In the new group, I added all the relevant recipes and gems. That means I’m able to scan all my gems, my recipes, and my investments in three seconds. And then, I can just eyeball which gems I should cut for profit.

If that feels a little too clunky for you though, you could get the TradeSkillMaster desktop app. The TradeSkillMaster desktop app basically gives you the data you used to get from scanning the Auction House. Then, you can set up TSM crafting like I did to auto restock if you make at least a certain amount of gold profit.

I set my profit margin on Epic Gems to at least 30 gold each and I restock up to five. Then, I use the TSM task list, which gives me a shopping list of exactly what to buy. And then, I can just post everything in a minute every day after my Auction House flips and the Heroic Daily is done.

4. Go To Wintergrasp

Depending on what day of the week it is and what time it is, I’ll often hit up Wintergrasp, too.

Wintergrasp is definitely worth it from a gold making perspective if you can pick up all the different weekly quests in advance. In total, if you can pick up at least five weekly quests, you can make 100 gold and nineteen thousand Honor. Combining that with a ten thousand Honor you get from one Wintergrasp win, you could easily grab three Epic Gems from one game per week.

One tip to pay attention to is the gem color prices. For example, you could buy two orange gems for twenty thousand Honor. Depending on your server, that could be more profit than one red gem for the same price.

Back on the topic of weekly quests, I also make sure to hit up Onyxia twice every week per character. That’s specifically because the Onyxia gem bag is worth quite a bit of gold. There are so many Soft Reserve runs and barely anybody reserves a bag. So, you can make an extra 300 to 500 gold per week from just one Onyxia run. With those quests out of the way, it’s time to head to Icecrown.

5. Icecrown Citadel

Next, I fly to the Argent Tournament and I pick up all the quests in the Western and the Eastern tents.

The key thing to keep in mind is that several of the quest givers can give one of multiple quest options. At this point, your route is going to vary every single day. That being said, though, if you have two characters on different accounts, the quest will be exactly the same on your server. So, Dual-Boxing is a really good way to double your gold per hour.

I like to start the Argent Dailies by using my MOLL-E mailbox and then I retrieve four Marks of the Champion. That way, I can immediately turn in the Jousting Quest without even doing it that day. Then, if I’ve got the quest, I head outside of the Hippogryphs and I do “Get Kraken!”.

I use a macro with an old modifier to make this quest extremely mindless:

#showtooltip Flaming Spears

/targetexact [nodead,mod:alt] Kvaldir Deepcaller; [nodead] North Sea Kraken

/cast Flaming Spears

/cleartarget

/run UIErrorsFrame:clear()

You should have a goal though, to always kill the Kraken if you can. Because you’ll get a Kraken Tooth for 20 bonus gold. After “Get Kraken!”, I fly up and I do any of the relevant boat quests.

“What Do You Feed a Yeti Anyways?” just involves clicking the chum bucket on your factions boat. Then, you just jump in the water and spam the quest item to attract sharks to kill.

Alternatively, though, you might have picked up “Rescue at Sea”. That’s where you fly to your factions boat and you kill Kvaldir. Just make sure to land on the correct boat or you’re going to get killed.

At this point, I just head north and I do all the Hrothgar daily quests. I likely have an assassination quest to kill either Drottinn Hrothgar or Mistcaller Yngvarr.

I also likely have either “Stopped the Aggressors” or “A Leg Up”. Both these questions simply involve killing Kvaldir on the island.

The last activity I would possibly have to do is the “Light’s Mercy”. That’s where you target the slain villagers and you use your book item on them. This is where I use the Argent Tabard to teleport back and I head directly west to the new Cultist area.

We’ll be able to do up to three quests at the same time and it feels amazing. We can do:

• You’ve Really Done It This Time, Kul
• Taking the Battle to the Enemy
• Deathspeaker Kharos

You’ll want to slay at least 15 cultures and elute them. Keep opening the cages at the same time and rescue call at the end.

After these quests, I fly Southwest to Aldurthar and I do the “Fate of the Fallen” if I pick that quest up. After clicking the purple squares, I just use the quest item on the Champion Spirits to get the quest done in a minute.

Chillmaw is the next quest, and he’s just slightly North. I can solo him easily, but I’ll always try to group up if possible then itself to “Battle Before the Citadel”. If I couldn’t find someone to grow up with for Chillmaw, I often skip this quest. It’s insanely fast for the partner, but it’s a miserable solo.

Either way afterwards, if I have either “Breakfast of Champions” or “Gormork Wants His Snobolds”, it’s a wormhole of Storm Peaks and get to work. Breakfast of Champions is just spamming your drum near the snow piles at the giant circle on the map. Gormork Wants His Snobolds is just targeting snobolds and spamming your net. I always like to combine that quest with Overstocked for double the gold profit.

You may notice at this point in the route that we still have plenty of more daily quests we could do. But that’s the beauty of this route. We can swap to another character and do as much or as little as we want to. For example, you could easily fit this in as a quick run on all between ToC clears to keep your gold stocked up.

Please note: If you use the coupon code “Lich”, you can also get a 3% discount.

Are you tired of grinding quests and professions for gold and Wrath of the Lich King? What if you could easily earn 600 gold per hour with a simple and no requirements method?

Why Farm Gold In Karazhan?

In this guide, we reveal the secret to AOE gold farming in Karazhan, a technique that’s perfect for the upcoming Phase 3 expenses like Epic Gems, Crusader Orbs, BOEs and GDKPs. Diving into this lucrative strategy, I am sure you can transform your gold making game ahead of Trial of the Crusader.

This is a method that you can do with pretty much any level 80 DPS character. The only differences will be how many packs you can pull at once and how much gold per hour you make. The best part about this is that you’ll be generating tons of raw gold in the form of vendor items, cloth and silver, though enchanting, is definitely a bonus if you do happen to have it.

How To Get To Karazhan?

So, with Wrath of the Lich King in full swing, you may have forgotten how to get to Karazhan.

My favorite way to get to Karazhan is to take a portal to Orgrimmar. Then, I take the Blasted Lands portal and I ride all the way up. Once you finally get to the door, if you don’t have a key, you’ll have to wait for someone else to open the door. I’ve put a macro on the screen that I press right before I enter the portal. This macro allows you to enter rates completely solo the basics.

The Basics Of AoE Gold Farming

I’m going to show you two different methods for Karazhan gold farming.

First, I want to start on my Boomkin, where I can make about 600 gold per hour and then later, I’ll show you a more advanced version using a Paladin that can make around 700 gold per hour. The beauty of this gold farming is that you can really take this as relaxed as you want to and with any DPS glass, you can do each pull individually or combine them. You could do five lockouts an hour or just one or two. It’s really up to you.

Starting our first lockout on my Boomkin, I always like to rocket boat up the stairs. Though depending on how fast you kill the mobs, you might want to save your cooldowns. It’s really all up to feel. So, taking a look at the first main room, the amount of backs you pull will depend entirely on your class.

For specs like my Boomkin, the Elite Packs are really dangerous and they’re going to require cooldowns. But meanwhile, the normal packs are just like the seals in Howling Fjord. They’re just cannon fodder and free gold. While you farm the packs, you’ll notice a ton of disenchantable items dropping.

I’m just vendoring these with a scrap bot in between runs, but enchanting would definitely be worth it if you have it or a Mammoth. What I mean is a Mammoth would be great, too. As I’m dealing with each pack, I’m being really careful not to pull extra. I’m specifically trying to clear out a safe Starfall for the middle Elite Pack to get the Starfall on cooldown as quickly as possible.

Basically, my main goal is to line up my cooldowns to blow up the Elite Packs in between the easier packs. Once the first room’s clear, I move into Moroes’s room. I’m really careful not to pull any extra Elites because the Elites on the walls are way too strong and tanky in Moroes’s room. I just pull each pack individually. Obviously, be careful not to actually pull Moroes. There’s no way you can sell them.

After I clear his room, I just rock a boot back to head upstairs, but then I start working on the upper floor. Again, if you’re not a very strong DPS class, you really don’t want to pull multiple packs at once. I’m really careful to separate the Elite Packs and I used all my cooldowns on them once the upper floor is clear. I like to stealth pass the Skeletal Ushers.

If you’re not a cool Druid like me, you could just kill the Ushers. In the theater room itself, I actually like to clear the room in two poles. It’s just really hard to clear it all in one pull for a Boomkin for whatever reason.

So, at this point, if you have a second account, you could just reset the instance and go again or, in my case, I just run back out and jump off the balcony. I did approximately 80 to 110 WOTLK Classic Gold per run. So, that’s about 500 gold per hour.

These runs only take about 10 minutes each that frees up an extra 10 minutes per hour to do whatever gold farming method you want. In my case, I like to switch over to an alt account and start doing some flips.

Alternatively, if you have a second account, you could just do another lockout. But if you really want to do extra lockouts, you’ll definitely want to go on a Paladin instead.

700 Gold Per Hour Method

Let’s jump over to my Paladin to really scale up our gold.

If you have a 700 gold per hour method a big AoE farmer like about and you can really combine the fools together. You can kind of just pull the entire rooms all at once, but you can still take things slow if your gear isn’t very good.

On top of combining pulls, you can also add extra mobs if you want. This is really optional and I kind of think it’s overrated. If you really want to take things up a notch, consider this instead.

Paladins can do the Karazhan run in less than 8 minutes, which means you can technically do 7.5 runs per hour at 80 to 110 gold per run. That’s easily 700 gold per hour.

The secret trick here, of course, is to have a second account to bypass the lockout limit, but even if you don’t have a second account, this is just a pretty awesome gold maker.

Now, I’ve got a really good way to make extra gold in between my GDKPs and investing and now that we’ve both on lock the best raw gold generator in the game. It’s time for some passive gold making.
