Easy Gold Making in Patch 7.2.5
Every good bank alt has a tuxedo shirt, yes?
Gun to my head, if I had to come up with a life philosophy it would probably be KISS – Keep It Simple, Stupid.
If you wanted to farm transmog for a couple of hours, grind out mats for a couple more, maybe craft some gear, you could potentially make plenty of gold per day if everything sold. But the folks who tend to make the big money are usually the ones who put in the big hours. Still, there’s no reason that someone playing casually can’t earn enough scratch to buy heirloom upgrades, or even pay for their subscription with gold.
I don’t want a bunch of expensive mounts or fancy transmogs. I don’t need a hundred thousand gold per day. I just need enough gold to buy at least one token a month to keep me subbed, or to pay for a race change/server transfer/etc. I also don’t want to spend hours doing the grinds. I want to progress my character, be it a main or an alt, rather than my bank account.
But I still want my bank account to get a little attention. Not a lot, just enough.
Sometimes we just don’t see the obvious staring at us in the face. Youtube phenom Soul showed me, via the power of the Youtubes, an easy way to earn gold while doing my regular day to day in-game chores.
The beauty is in its simplicity.
- Save your gold.
- Get Boon of the Bloodhunter, using Bloods to buy mats from the Blood vendor (get the most valuable ones as listed on The Undermine Journal) .
- Get Bacon from World Quests.
- Assign Bodyguard with Gold Gear.
- Complete all gold missions.
Are there more optimal ways to earn gold? Sure, if you’re willing to put in the extra time. For me, in just under three weeks I’d earned enough gold to upgrade all my plate, chain, and leather heirlooms. I also bought a WoW token. I wasn’t doing anything different, I was just doing things a bit smarter.
Try it for yourself. Hopefully this helps put a little extra coin in your changepurse!
Order Hall Champions – Patch 7.2
I’m in the midst of a thing.
It’s a good thing, but it’s a thing.
See, as with most things with me this thing involves making gold. It also involves making gold without making it a full-time job or eating up an obscene amount of time that could be used actually playing the game. I don’t care about spending gold on things like mounts and transmog and plan on using it strictly to buy tokens to fund my gaming crack addiction World of Warcraft account.
A side-effect of this has been wanting to improve my Order Hall. My Super Hero DK, Scaredevil, doesn’t have a clue Legendary yet. So why not work on getting one? Since these things appear to fall like rain, might not be a bad idea to unlock the slot to get two of them.
It was during this planning session that I started looking at my Order Hall champions. I hadn’t changed them in a while and was still leveling them to Epic and beyond. Imagine my surprise when I saw that I could actually get SEVEN of these mammer-jammers running missions for me! Naturally being a gamer, I wanted to know which ones were the most fun best ones to use.
This spawned a whole other mission, which was to get a new sidekick for Scaredevil. Every superhero needs a sidekick, right? Koltira had been doing a fine job, but I really wanted to kick up my game. Another story for another time. But for now, it was time to build up the ol’ clubhouse roster.
This was the recommended Order Hall Champions for Death Knights in Patch 7.2
- Thoras
- Thassarian
- Koltira
- Minerva
- Nazgrim
- Morgraine
Champions for other classes can be found at the Reddit link over HERE, so check it out to find out if you’re running a top shelf Order Hall.
In the next few weeks, I hope to discuss the new, casual gold-making method I’ve been using that will (fingers crossed) earn me enough gold per month to buy my own tokens without spending all day in-game. I also hope to reveal Scaredevil’s new sidekick.
Legion beware!
