Passive Gold Sources in Warcraft
Much like in real life, everyone wants to have the currency of choice. In Warcraft’s case, this form of money is gold, and you use it for a vast variety of things. You might need consumables for armor, maybe you want to learn how to fly that netherdrake mount, or maybe you’ve tired of your class’s spec and want to shake up your talents a bit. All of these things cost money, you’ll need gold.
But suppose you don’t have the time or inclination to “grind” or “farm” gold on a consistent basis? Sure you have your daily quests, but sometimes it isn’t enough, you need a bit more kick. If you want to make with little or no time invested, there are a few options available to you.
1. Auction House Arbitrage: We’ll get the riskiest strategies out of the way first. Find a particular product that sells well and corner the market. Buy up your competitors and sell them at a slightly higher price, then net the profit. You have to be very careful here though. You don’t want to buy too high, and you don’t want to pick an item that is easily replenished. Watch things like primals, don’t go for easily obtained items like netherweave cloth, there will always be someone there to under cut you. This can be done with about 10 minutes per day, if you have the gold to start with.
2. Tailoring, Cloth Specialties: Tailors of varying specializations have the ability to produce specialty types of cloth. These sell particularly well. If you’re not a tailor, consider levelling up the profession, you’ll be bringing in extra gold every time your cooldown is up.
3. Alchemy Transmutes: Specifically transmuting primal earths to water. These are on a one day cooldown and can net you up to 10 gold per day with about 3 minutes of buying the primal, transmuting it, and putting the new primal up on the AH. Don’t miss a money making opportunity! If you want to go all out, specialize your alchemists with transmutes, increasing your chance that you’ll transmute more than one primal.
Good luck, you money makers out there!
