I highly recommend the tutorials by Samadan Plays WoW. It took me several days of watching tutorials, but I have made hundreds and hundreds of thousands of gold because of it. I decided to give TSM another shot, and now I feel like a pro. After a few days of Auctionator, I realized I was still missing some really important tools related to automatic price calculations and mass-posting my auctions. I had tried TSM in the past and it was suuuuper confusing, so I tried Auctionator instead. Lesson 2: Use an Addon like TSMĪbout a week into my serious attempt at making gold, I quickly learned that I was at a massive disadvantage by not using an auction addon. If I was able to keep that up for 30 days straight, that alone would pay for my subscription.īut who wants to do that? Not me. I would find a spot to grind leather and sit there for 2 hours. I started to bring in roughly 3-5k a day. I actually made a hefty chunk of change in the process. I put in several hours a day to grind mobs for skinning, gather herbs to sell, etc. Lesson 1: Exchanging Time for Money Works, but It's Not Fun Here are the lessons I learned along the way. I made over a million gold in PROFIT in less than 30 days. So I set off on this journey to pay for my token, and what resulted was 10x my goal. If I was going to make money, it wouldn't be through investments.

I'm on a low-medium pop server, and I promised myself I would put NONE of my gold into the process.

I decided that I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could pay for my subscription purely by playing the game.

If you asked me about making gold in WoW I would have told you that it was only doable by getting lucky, gaming the system, being a first mover, or taking advantage of some stupid system from a past expansion (like WoD's garrisons). That gold took me (literally) a decade to accrue. Only a few months ago I had just 100k gold.
