r/woweconomy

Was able to go from 300k to 8m gold this expac, but have to say i think its a slog now to go higher with professions

Herbs and ore is really low gold per hour

Enchanting is super low margins now, still better than gathering at least

Dawn crystals have completely tanked this week, at 100/250g in NA, this makes delves/chests way less valuable than they were before

I was making some decent gold selling older housing decor from wrath, lumber was 300g or more each, that has completely tanked now. I used to sell silvermoon curtains at 8k-10k each, i see them on the AH for 500g now often.

World quests are now by far the best value for gold, with 3 chars i can still hit about 200k gold a week, however i was making that amount in an hour of enchanting at season starts. Only reason i didnt make more was that selling them was the most annoying part, requiring making hundreds at a time then posting 2 at a time/cancelling every 10mins or so, profitable but tedious.

Is the party over folks?

UPDATE to my previous post!

If anyone else is like me and felt like 5 or even 7 mill is unobtainable. Don't give up!

I started with 1 lvl 90, 1 80, and 3 60s. I now have 8 90s I run with daily!

I do EVERY daily WQ that has gold as an award. ( I will check morning and evening cause I've noticed voidstorm WQ seem to swap daily and i've noticed some will end mid day others seem to spawn later like 10pm) I will have around 2-4 gold WQs daily.

Caches/quests: Weekly Apex, Void assaults, Saltheril's, Abundance, Stormarion, Haranir Legends, Curse Surge.

Professions: Enchanting, to disenchant gear that's soul bound that I no longer need, and BOEs worth less than 1k. Skinning.

I don't go out of my way to farm skinning, but if I'm doing a WQ and there's a ton of people killing stuff before I can even tag it i'll spend some time skinning mobs waiting for respawns near me so I can tag em. Rather wait for mob respawns then fly around a small area where they die as soon as i get there LOL

To get my Shards for the Abundance. I will pick up the weekly quest ( gives 2) fish in the pond in Silvermoon till I get the other 6.

All my gold is from the weeklies, supplemented from selling fish, skinning stuff, and various BOEs I find, then the stuff I get from disenchanting.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been pulling auction data for Forever from player scans and figured some of you would find the numbers useful. This is as of this morning (Sunday), US servers. Full disclosure, the data comes from an addon & website tool I built, more on that at the bottom.

Crafting margins that stood out (cost of mats at market median vs. what the result sells for after the 5% AH cut):

- PvP Horde: Azure Silk Gloves. About 83s in mats, sells for around 8g 55s. Tailoring 100, so very reachable right now.
- Normal Horde: Frost Oil. 1g 30s in, about 10g 24s out. Alchemy 180.
- Normal Horde: Barbaric Bracers. 4g in, about 18g out. Leatherworking 115.
- Normal Alliance: Azure Gustwoven Hood and Spaulders, both roughly 2 to 3g in for 14 to 16g out. Leatherworking 145.
- PvP Alliance: Silvered Bronze Breastplate. About 1g in for nearly 7g out at Blacksmithing 95.

Faction gaps on the normal ruleset are worth investigating if you have characters on both sides.

Through the neutral auctioneers which take 15%, here’s a potential arbitrage play for normal ruleset megaserver:
- Large Radiant Shards are about 20g on Horde and 51g on Alliance.
- Feet of the Lynx is 4g 50s on Horde against about 24g on Alliance.

Disenchanting: dust and essences are close to worthless at the moment (Strange Dust is around 2s), so most of the value is in shards and blues/purples.

There's still plenty of gear listed under what it disenchants for. On Normal Alliance there was a Winged Helm up for 25g that should average around 48g in mats, and on PvP Horde a pair of Arena Vambraces at about 10g against roughly 17g.

These are medians of what's listed, not confirmed sales. Some of the crafted gear has only a handful of listings, so check how many are up before you craft ten of anything. Uncommon disenchant results are an average over many disenchants, not a promise per item. Everything here moves fast while it's still beta.

I’m gathering this data with the tool I built called AHledger. It's a free addon (on Curseforge & Wago) plus a free data website (ahledger.com) with these pages per market: deals, crafting margins by profession, market depth and supply changes, and a disenchant scanner.

Nothing is paywalled. This is more about seeing the whole market at a glance and checking prices without logging in. There's also a free API if you want to pull arbitrage opportunities and deal data into a sheet.

Happy to answer questions, feedback is massively appreciated. I’ve had the opportunity to ship features this week based on great feedback from the community.

Appreciate you all and I hope this tool helps everyone get a leg up in the new forever economy.

So i came back to midnight from my last time i played the war within and i am in the mood to try to farm some gold, i did all day research on the stay of wow now. And i am looking for some advice and opinions from you. I know the part that rn is not the best like at the start of the expansion. Really thx in advance :)
