After seeing the millionth “What Should I Do to Make Gold” post this month, crafting then deleting a snarky reply, It did get me thinking:

What are the WORST WAYS to get gold that you know of?

My “suggestion” was the hell and supreme time sink of converting Grime Encrusted Objects in Gnomergan and selling the mats on the AH.

What is your worst or most painful way to make gold in WoW??

Level a faction-unaffiliated pandaren character to max level by herbing and mining on the Wandering Isle, and vendoring all of it because you can't access a mailbox.

Someone recently posted about having 50 alts and doing gold WQs for every single alt. I think I would rather throw my computer away than spend the ungodly amount of hours it would require to make gold doing that.

Put all your inscription knowledge points into making darkmoon decks at the start of the xpac. Just to find out the hard way that no one is using them and will be using them, 60 points later.

Mailbox dancing

Grinding boars in Elwynn while listening to Live to Win.

Create a character, sell starting gear, mail the copper to your main, delete character, rinse and repeat.

Old content daily quests

Going around and doing all the pet battle dailies

Investing in materials to make profit for after relic of the past comes out

Crafting an item then selling them at a loss.

Buying 80,000,000 ultramarine pigment on the auction house for 1s, and reselling them at 2s.

Herbing with UI disabled.

Creating a rogue and exclusively pickpocketing to make gold

Sit at SW/Org, sign guild charters, leave guild, repeat.

Maxed 630 Jewelcrafting
Finished off max 630 knowledge with all dragonflight JC patterns today. Jînxx-Tichondrius is my toon.

Screenshots:

Was a long grind of farming Dragon shards. Just want to Thank Dirtgod for his tips n tricks and motivating me to continue the grind!

Farmed Dragon shard from Rares, Dirts, Satchels, Treasures, etc. it is a long grind

I kept track of Dragon shards starting 2/23...Here are my rough findings:

Rares 55
Dirt 54
Satchels 18
Treasures chests- 17
Misc (M+, raid, weekly quest, etc.)- 6

Did you stick to one area or all over the isles? - Mostly all over, but I feel I neglected waking shore more than the rest, usually just hitting up rares and not so much dirt there. I have some nice routes around Azure, Ohn''ahran Plains, and Thraldraszus and have memorized almost all the spawn points. Dirt overload.

I feel like the last couple weeks I was getting more from rares than dirt and other things. but then some days would be only 1-2 all day hard farming and not crafting...

I would do most rares up to 4.6 mil health solo ( a couple that are 10 mil were ok solo but freinds prefered lol) and as a resto shaman. Nokhudon hold, Brackenhide Hollow, and the storm spot jsut south of camp nowhere in Azure. Plus all the random ones around the map and would hang out at obsidian citadel for a few.

Gold Making with Cooking
Hello !

With cooking I'm making around 30k/day. I could do more with a bit more time invested (I don't have chef's hat yet, but soon) and more market analysis but for now I have one question in mind : How to properly sell food ?
I've seen two ways for now :

Standing at the AH for hours and selling stacks of of X food to stay competitive : whenever it's cut, *hop* an other stack is put on sale and so the first of X food on sale are mines.
Selling a big chunk of of X food for 48 hours and doing something else while it maybe sales.

I'm mostly doing 1), its pretty time consumming but at the end of the day I have sold everything. It has the advantages of making actual golds at the end of the day and not the theoretical 30k over 2 days if the market doesn't crash until then. But I'm curious about the 2nd strategy : does it work ? Does it work *well* ? Does it requires more market analysis ? Or just luck ? Sometimes I see people selling 5K of a food that does not sell that much I wonder if they will ever sell any of this (mostly because I cut them right after with 60 of that food and it doesn't even sell).

I'd love the read all your experiences about making gold with cooking and your stretegies and thoughts about it !
By this post I'm not looking into making more golds but I'm looking into making it more time efficient (therefore making more golds over time).

(I'm grindind the dailies for chef's hat)
Penguin2gt Food is one of those things that is great income over time. I make a massive batch of a dish and just add it to the rotation. Post it a 100-200 at a time post another stack of your undercut. Rinse wash and repeat. It’s not going to make you super rich but keeps a steady amount of income coming in.

I like items like this as it gets me through the lean times when I don’t have bigger sales going on.chef's hatFurther Reading/r/woweconomyDiscord Server

Someone needs to get themselves a katyComment by KorkaxI've maxed out knowledge points on JC and mining 2 weeks ago, it's ez to farm dragonshards once you know how, on reset days I'd get about 9-10 dragonshards, following days it would be less. If you guys want I can give you a map, it takes some time to go around and do everything, but anybody can do it. It's also a really good way to get sparks. I've gotten so far 19 extra sparks.Comment by erro3"Level a faction-unaffiliated pandaren character to max level by herbing and mining on the Wandering Isle, and vendoring all of it because you can't access a mailbox."

No thanks, I'll stay broke and play the game.Comment by XyroX"Put all your inscription knowledge points into making darkmoon decks at the start of the xpac. Just to find out the hard way that no one is using them and will be using them, 60 points later."

I'm in this post and I don't like it.
I leveled darkmoon decks up because my guild of the time wanted to have all gear professions leveled up, in case it's gonna be used. Reasonable, but that hurt my pocket quite a bit.Comment by Stalker92'Grinding boars in Elwynn while listening to Live to Win.'

I see what you did here...Comment by thraunWhat's funny to me is that these pseudo guides always only talk about crafting and sometimes gathering, which is the most awful way to make gold in Dragonflight for 95% of the player base, as these new profession systems are broken and honestly feel more like work than anything else. There are so many interesting ways to make gold, even in 10.0.7. But when reading these guides you have the impression that only by spending your life grinding for one of the most unstable and boring profession systems ever introduced into the game you will be able to achieve fortune in WoW.

This is not the case and these guides are honestly not helpful at all for 95% of the player base.Comment by ismountSomeone recently posted about having 50 alts and doing gold WQs for every single alt.
