Gold in World of Warcraft Classic is an integral part of the game. In this article, we will discuss the importance/role of gold in vanilla WOW and how you can obtain it easily. Gold was vastly more important in classic; it gradually became less relevant/powerful as time went on in the current version of the game. It is very tedious (but not difficult) to gain gold in vanilla, which is why many people choose to purchase gold.

What is WOW Classic Gold used for?

As you level, you will buy new ranks of spells. If you splurge out on an item upgrade, you will not have enough gold readily available to upgrade to the latest ranks of spells: placing you behind. Moreover, you can buy gear upgrades from the Auction House (AH) or vendors. Furthermore, you may have large investments that need to be paid for professors. You will need to purchase reagents and items such as leather, bolts of cloth, alchemy supplies – unless you have a charitable friend or another high-level alt.

One of the largest expenditures of gold is buying your mounts. That’s plural: mounts. You will need to purchase a mount at level 40 and level 60. A mount can cost millions.

How do I get gold in WOW Classic?

The best way to gain gold is to analyse the Auction House and look at items that are in demand but are not being sold frequently, hence driving up their price (which is basic economics). This strategy will minimise your grinding.

To gain classic wow gold , you will primarily be grinding professions which are fantastic for receiving rewards. Mining is an example of a great profession at an early-game level. While Herbalism is actually the best gathering profession, the issue is it uses consumables which can make the profession rather costly, with the investment required.

If you are aiming to fast-track to level 60, one of the best professions is skinning. This way, whatever you kill, you can not only loot but skin and sell their loot (including skin) to vendors. The profession can provide a lot of PvM fun and goes naturally with the levelling process.

 

Vanilla WOW gold methods
There are more passive methods to gain vanilla wow gold , but these are slower. For example, many people choose to fish in places like Tanaris, or kill Harpies in Feralas and loot items such as mageweaves. These are rather AFK-able, but again, not as rewarding. Some people choose to favour fun over anything, and like in any MMO (massively multiplayer online game), the best way to have fun is playing games with friends or your guild. Dungeon runs with your friends provide social interaction and are definitely helpful over the long-term for your gold stack!

If you choose to play Rogue, you can pickpocket every pocket you come across and slowly build gold. Whilst PvE can be an excellent and fun moneymaker, you will have to check the AH for the latest prices to see what’s worth farming, especially if you use any consumables which can cause you to lose money rather than gain money.

Some players choose to take a slightly alternative approach to their gold farming. This approach can take an extensive amount of time and dedication. Many people choose to train a ton of alts, solely for the purpose of making money and multi-tasking. In World of Warcraft Classic, professions are usually paired together. For example, if you’re training alchemy, you will need herbs to create consumables (e.g. flasks) that are used for raiding. An intelligent and observant player could seize this knowledge by creating one alchemy alt and one herbalism alt, swapping items as needed between each other. This fully mitigates the fees by the Auction House, which means your profit is maximised. Another complimentary combination you can use is skinning and tailoring, or cooking and fishing.
