In WoW Classic, Gold is way more important – and way more scarce – than in retail World of Warcraft. You need Gold to afford repairs, new abilities, new gear, materials for professions, and of course the enormous amount of Gold required for both the level 40 and especially level 60 mounts.
World of Warcraft Classic: How To Get Mounts (& Mount Costs)
Azeroth is a big place, and players will eventually want to get a mount to get around faster in World of Warcraft: Classic.
There are a few ways to get Gold fast in WoW Classic when the fresh Anniversary vanilla servers go online. If you can take advantage of some of these best gold farming methods, WoW Classic will go a lot smoother in the long run as you won't have to scrounge for Gold at later levels.
1 Sell Bags & Wands ASAP
Sell Highly Demanded Items For The Early Game
In the first few weeks after fresh WoW Classic servers launch, when everyone is leveling, two items in particular are going to be high in demand: bags and wands. Every character needs bags to increase their inventory space, and if you can get ahead of everyone else in the Tailoring skill early, you can sell high-slot bags at a premium.
Wands will be very popular in the early weeks of WoW Classic, because just about every Caster class relies on Wand auto-attacks to conserve Mana. Pick up Enchanting and Tailoring and quickly level them up to take advantage of the early game rush for both Bags and Wands – plus, if you get started on these professions early, you will get plenty of business later in the game, too.
2 Pick Up Two Gathering Professions
Avoid Crafting, Be The Supplier Instead
If you don't particularly feel like taking up crafting professions to make income, just take two Gathering professions instead. There are three that you can choose from – Herbalism, Skinning, and Mining – though most will go with Herbalism and Mining because you can supply materials for most professions. Just list your gathered herbs and ores on the Auction House and watch your gold pile stack up.
WoW Classic: Best DPS Classes, Ranked
This WoW Classic DPS class tier list ranks every class based on its damage output and utility for groups, increasing the chances of getting invites.
Skinning is a good one to pick if you don't want to use the Auction House to sell your harvested materials, though. Skins are worth a decent amount when sold to a vendor directly instead of through the AH. If you skin everything you kill while leveling up, you can expect to make a surprisingly good amount of gold just through vendoring.
You will also collect some highly-requested materials for other professions, and at endgame, you will be able to skin Onyxia and sell your services.
3 Sell Services Unique To Your Class
Warlocks, Mages, Hunters, & Rogues Can Sell Services
There are a few classes in the game that can offer specific in-game services for a fee. Warlocks and Mages can sell travel services, as Warlocks can summon other players directly to a location, while Mages can create Portals that allow party members to instantly travel to set locations.
Depending on the server economy, you can expect to charge anywhere from 50s to 2g for teleportation services.
Hunters and Rogues also have unique services that practically only these classes can pull off. When Dire Maul is unlocked in WoW Classic Anniversary, Rogues and Hunters can sell Tribute Runs after either Stealthing past all of the enemies or dealing with them one-by-one on their own.
These tricks can be hard to accomplish, but if you're really good at your class, these are some of the most efficient ways to make gold per hour in WoW Classic.
4 Do Not Train Unnecessary New Abilities
Save Money By Avoiding Unnecessary Costs
In WoW Classic, Gold is required for every new Ability you want to train. At certain levels, every class gains new abilities they can get from their Class Trainer, but as you progress into the mid-to-late game, the cost to train these Abilities skyrockets.
11 Tips For World Of Warcraft Classic You Should Know
World of Warcraft Classic is back, so here is everything you need to know before you start your adventure.
If you don't think you will use a spell for your build, or an upgrade for a spell you already have trained doesn't seem worth it, just skip it. Wait until you have your Level 60 Epic Mount to go back and fill in the missing gaps.
5 Sell BoEs On The Auction House
Early In Fresh Classic WoW, BoEs Will Be Highly Sought
Randomly players have a chance to get Bind-on-Equip items from enemy loot. There are hundreds and hundreds of BoE items that you can get while leveling, and you can make a lot of money re-selling them on the Auction House to players who want a quick upgrade.
At max level some BoEs are so powerful that they can cost hundreds, or even thousands, of Gold. Be sure to check the Auction House price before listing your BoEs, because sometimes the AH price is actually lower than the vendor price.
