Farming Gold in the First Season of the War Within Expansion

World of Warcraft is a game with a huge variety of activities, ranging from exciting quests and battles with epic bosses to completing mysterious dungeons and profession development.

This game features many interesting mechanics that allow each player to find something to their liking. However, to make rapid progress and effectively develop your character, you need a significant amount of gold. WoW gold can be called a universal resource because it allows you to make your game easier, allows you to achieve certain goals faster, and allows you to interact with other players to get a certain service. Therefore, many players often search the internet for various actual farming methods or look for the best place to buy WoW gold.

Benefits of gold for the player

Equipment and Weapons
Gear and its level have a strong influence on the player’s possibilities, so in each new season, it is very important to increase it. This takes a lot of time because there are many pieces of equipment in each character and very few sources to get guaranteed items. For gold players can buy a good medium armour to speed up their progress at the beginning of their journey and further develop themselves, or buy quality equipment pre-maxial levels, obtained from raids or other complex activities.

Consumables or Reagents
Every fan of endgame content, such as raids or dungeons, prepares in advance for these mechanics and creates a lot of consumables to avoid critical situations. They can make them on their own, but to do this, they need to level up the appropriate profession and gather the materials and reagents for crafting. Gold allows players to buy ready-made elixirs, potions, flasks, phials, or reagents from the auction house without spending a lot of time gathering and crafting.

Monthly Subscription in WoW
In World of Warcraft, there is a unique system that allows players to pay for their game subscription using in-game gold through the WoW Token. Some players purchase tokens for real money and put them up for sale in the auction house to receive gold. Players with enough in-game currency can buy these tokens so they don’t have to spend real money.

Ways to farm gold

There are a large number of ways to farm the War Within gold, but each of them has its own features. There are methods that the player can use independently and some require teamwork. In this article most of the methods are related to the Auction House, which means that the profit that you receive depends on other players, the demand for certain items, and patience.

Professions

Gathering Professions
Gathering professions include Herbalism, Mining, and Skinning. The advantage of this approach is that you don’t need to spend a lot of resources or time leveling the profession compared to crafting professions. However, you must often roam through new locations to find new resources and materials. In the first half of the season, new resources are usually very expensive due to their novelty and limited availability, but prices can adjust downward over time. Below are the new items introduced with the expansion:

  • Mining: Bismuth, Ironclaw Ore, Aqirite.
  • Herbalism: Mycobloom, Blessing Blossom, Luredrop, Orbinid, Null Lotus, Arathor’s Spear.
  • Skinning: Stormcharged Leather, Gloom Chitin, Thunderous Hide, Sunless Carapace, Bottled Storm, Burning Cinderbee Setae, Honed Bone Shards, Kaheti Swarm Chitin.

Crafting professions
It is not an easy and labor-intensive task to fully upgrade a profession, but this is what makes crafting professions valuable and in demand. They allow you to earn a significant amount of gold by taking orders from other players to create the necessary items or by auctioning your goods. Importantly, the professions are interconnected: many items require reagents produced by other professions, making cooperation between players as a key element of gameplay.

Cloth Farming

Cloth farming is a relatively old but effective method for making gold in the game that doesn’t require complex mechanics. The only important requirement is having 90 knowledge points and the Tailoring profession. You should use these points to achieve the maximum rank in the first nodes of the Textile Treasures, Quality Fabric, and From Dawn Until Dusk trees.

Next, look for locations with a high density of enemies with a short respawn cooldown, and defeat them. You can also farm by running dungeons, killing trash mobs up to a certain point, and then resetting the dungeon. Sell the clothes and items you gather at the auction house.

World Quests

World quests are an important source of earning pure gold. These quests unlock after one of your characters reaches level 80 and completes the current expansion campaign. They provide experience, gold, and various items. A significant advantage of this method is that quests are tied to specific characters rather than the account, so if you complete all the quests on one character, you can move on to the next. The new Warband feature will also allow you to accumulate gold together.

BoE Farming

BoE (Bind on Equip) farming is a challenging and time-consuming method that relies on luck but can yield very high profits at once. The auction house prices for such items can range from 100,000 gold to over a million. These items are farmed in raids and dungeons.

The farming strategy is similar to cloth farming in dungeons but involves a group: you enter the dungeon, defeat mobs leading up to the boss, and then reset the raid or dungeon. Your goal is to keep this up until you obtain the coveted BoE item. It’s best to do this with friends or join special groups that agree to share the loot among all participants.

Conclusion

World of Warcraft is a very popular game that attracted a large audience, grew along with it, helped change the lives of some people in difficult periods, for example, Stef Sanjati, helps find like-minded people and express yourself at Blizzcon. This game has a huge amount of exciting content and mechanics, but most of them require an investment in the form of gold. Farming gold is one of the biggest challenges for every player because it is difficult to maintain character development without enough gold. Gold is required for almost every aspect of progress, and its constant scarcity can significantly slow down the gameplay, forcing players to spend more time on preparation than on passing content. This article describes methods that have their own characteristics and can be chosen to suit individual preferences. Understanding and utilizing these strategies will allow players to improve their financial performance in the game.
