Making Gold With Class Trials


Yep, Tome of the Tranquil Mind. The consumable that you have to use when you want to swap specs. Without it, you have to be somewhere in a rested XP area (city, inn) to make the change. A beneficial item to have for raiding, running dungeons, or hell even for questing.

According to The Undermine Journal, these things sell on the AH for roughly 200g each. Your mileage may vary of course, but as of right now the average price is 200g. Other than the handful you get when you complete the New Dalaran quest at the start of the Legion expansion, the only other way to get them is to buy them off the AH or have a character with Inscription that can make them.

So what does this have to do with making gold with Class Trial characters? Allow me to explain:

  • Create a new character, and select Class Trial. You’ll start with a fresh (temporary) level 100 character.
  • After running through the brief tutorial, you will be sent to the Broken Shore scenario. Once there, leave the instance.
  • You will appear in front of a quest-giver who tries to give you the option to enter the scenario. There’s also an option to skip the instance, which results in you being sent directly to New Dalaran.
  • Once you spawn in New Dalaran, hand in your quest to the dude in front of you. He will reward you with the Dalaran Hearthstone and five Tomes of the Tranquil Mind.
  • Go to the mailbox, mail the Tomes to a bank alt or another character. Log off, delete the character, rinse and repeat.

With this method, you can either load up with stacks of Tomes for free, or sell them on the AH. That’s roughly 1000g on the AH for maybe ten minutes of work.

Not too shabby, and oh so sneaky.

Garrison Gold Setup in Legion

Garrisons were nerfed to the ground as far as passive gold making went. So, you might ask, is there any point in maintaining them in Legion?  I have posted a suggestion in the past, but Mad Season has gone the extra mile and created a video that outlines a very good garrison setup that should still generate some decent gold that, while not completely passive, will not take a great deal of time out of your day.

I would write more, but Demon Hunters went live today and I’m going to see if I can transmog one as Robin before he goes into the new expansion. Anyway, enjoy!

 

 

Making Gold With Your Barn

Holy Christmas, how’s garrison life post-patch for ya?

Sure I miss not having tens of thousands of gold in my bank every week. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible to rake in plenty of gold. If you have the time, you can probably make several thousands of gold without too much effort.

The catch? You gotta have a Barn in your Garrison.

Let OldBess explain how to use the Barn to farm yourself some sweet, sweet gold.

Get it? Farm? Barn? Look at me, making gold AND jokes!

 

Gold Farming in Everbloom

With Legion just around the corner (OMG less than a month), people have started looking to the future. Old raids are getting nerfed, treasure potions and getting gutted, so what’s left? Turns out quite a bit.

Oldbess dropped some knowledge, and hopefully this spot doesn’t get hit with the nerf bat too. These kinds of spots are my favorites in that they’re instanced, so you don’t have to compete with anyone else and can take your time farming. It’s one that you can do now, but it’ll be even better once you cap out in Legion.

 

After watching this video, I decided to give it a try (as I like to do). Problem being, I’m not a Heroic raider so my gear iLevel is nowhere near what Oldbess was running at. He was about iLevel 720, where my Blood DK offspec was sitting around 695. Trying this would be suicide, no?

I said Blood DK. #DeathGripCity, bitches!

I tried a couple of packs, nothing crazy. I survived the pulls, but I could see how a higher iLevel (or actual tanking gear, rather than my DPS gear in a tank spec) might make more of a difference. The gold potential is definitely here, and it will only get better with Legion.

Old Raid Gold Nerf in Legion

End of June already! This year is flying by, outside of WoW. Inside the Warcraft, there is neither much warring nor crafting. Things are slow, is what I’m saying.

Making gold is always a thing, and having recently hitting gold cap myself I’ve found a few ways to earn some scratch. One way was the old favorite, running raid content from previous expansions.

Blizzard, being aware of all things at all times, did two things in Legion that bothered me a little. The first was that they raised the gold cap to just under ten million gold (really?! I, like, just got here!) The second thing they did was nerf raid farming . See what Bellular has to say about it below.
