How I made 1,000,000 gold in 4 months just playing the game.

[Mamut]

AKA, how I play the game.

Was there really a point to this? Was it requested somewhere?

Was your reply requested somewhere?

And yeah, its easy to get gold just by playing game. I never break 1 mln gold on my character but Im spending alot on raiding. Dont have any gold problems tho.

4. Run all the Mythic +0 for your weekly reset. Disenchant everything for Chaos Crystals.

Your point #4 is a bit of a waste of time for the returns.
Easy, fast WQs for epic items plus d/e whatever drops in lfr and the casual m+ is enough, and then craft high demand neck/ring enchants.

Not really, you are doing content that is outdated and gives zero improvement to your character. You are literally farming gold.
Nothing wrong with that, but it's not just "playing the game normally".

But thanks for the tips

He's doing a lot more then just "literally farming gold". this is a common misconception... most people don't realize how much you get from mythic +0s
AP, Bloods, Titanforge chance, Legendary chance, bags full of epics for disenchanting, WQs.

I do a run of all the mythic 0s each week with a geared group 890-910ilvl with 4 dps/1 tank. Each dungeon takes between 7 min (MoS) to 15-20 min (HoV). you can finish all of them within 2 hours.

End up with 20-30 epics to DE, 60-100 bloods, ~1.5 mil AP. mythic 0's are super lucrative and should be run every week if you are interested in AP, Bloods, Gold, or Legendary/TF chances.

I don't think that's particularly crazy, my guild got like 5 the other night clearing only 9 bosses, and that was a fairly average week.

then i dont know what game I am playing... !?!

1. Stack professions and do them all concurrently

[The One Percent]

Only a million?

[Jimson]

Till I see a full length "Lets Play" style video on the strategy, I call bullshit.

So.... a 4-month long video?

Am I asking for too much?

[Zoldor]

I've really gotta step my gold making up, I did good, not great, in MoP and WoD, but I've been insanely gold making lazy in legion, only 1 alt, no gatherers and my main is the worst BS/Mining. I've spent a TON of gold this expansion, gotta stop being so damn lazy.

I normally do something similar to what you are doing, but I run Enchanting/Herbing on 2 or 3 toons, and one Tailor/Alchemist, and just make what I need for raids, sell excess mats in bulk. Then have my bag making going.

I've got to start doing this, I've got a group of people that does M+ and Nightbane runs, we could easily toss in crushing M0s as a 4dps 1 tank group.

made nearly 30million gold spending 4 hours a day on the AH with addons for 2 months /shrug

So wait...now in order for people to make posts on here, the topic must be requested by people first? Huh??

[Xeranath]

Been very tempted to drop alchemy for enchanting to take advantage of all the bloody loot I get that I otherwise vendor. Rank 3 flasks are a myth.

[Deleted]

Yep, I pretty much did the same and made 1 million. I would say though, it is too late to start now in this expansion.

The 'strategy' is actually running a bunch of dungeons.

[iamthedevil]

1. Play Game
2. Sell stuff obtained while playing
3. Profit

Nice!

1. Stack professions and do them all concurrently

I have one character. I'm pretty much ahead of my entire guild in relations to things like AP (Im maxed) because I don't split my time for ALTs. Actually per WoW progress I'm ahead of the curve quite a bit for my class at least in comparison to my entire server.

I have one profession. Enchanting Level 1 (well I think its 50 now cause of disenchanting).

I don't personally find farming herbs or mining nodes fun or the patience for maxing out other professions, like smithing or alchemy.. For those that do, more power to them, just my personal preference.

It sucks that we are tied to two professions (but I understand why they do it) - hundreds of thousands of gold is just vendored in purple items every day for next to nothing. I think the average purple quest item vendors for 30g. Disenchanting it magically turns it into 400g. (at least on my server)

[Kudos]

10.) Always sell BoE epics. I don't care if its an upgrade, generally the upgrade percentage is not worth the loss of potential tens of thousands of gold. (gold is pretty readily available now a days so people will pay astronomical prices for this stuff)

I swear, when my guild does Nighthold every week, it's always the same people who score the BOEs. I simply do not have any luck in this department. As an alchemist, all the Blood of Sargeras I score end up into Potions of Prolonged power. A stack of 10 (1 blood) regularly sells between 450 - 650 gold.

I get some people enjoy this 'playing the game' this way. I just couldn't do this and sit in the AH for hours on end. I'd be scratching my eyes out from boredom. There was once a girl in a guild I was in who did this. Controlled the market on just about everything. Ended up quitting raiding to just play the AH every night. Again, not something I could do.

Is your guild so flush with cash they let people keep the gold from the sales for themselves?

Our guild keeps that gold in-house for raiding supplies and whatever. Only time we split gold to the raid is when we do a carry.

I still can't believe people were paying us 200k gold for a heroic Xavious kill. lol

Yeah, that's why the garrison enchanting hut in WoD was awesome!

I love it, nothing more satisfying than literally going to a mailbox and pulling 300k+ out of it.

Makes my blood boil when I see random plebs popping their augment runes while doing world quests. These masses keep the augment runes price stupidly high by lowering the supply while running around ungemmed and unenchanted but those are luxuries while eating your own augment runes isn't, they came for free, right, right?

Those are the same people who come with the stupid questions "how do you get so much gold?! I only got 2k, and I play 10 hours each day!".. Making gold is easy, just don't spend it.

Today I sold 60k of materials that I've gained by doing one random HC each day + LFR, normal and HC NH + HC EN for a week or so, and a couple of m+ every now and then when I am bothered.
Had a total of 5 of the Engineering thingy you get from the shoulder enchant - 5x6k gold, by not doing anything special.
36 Bloods - bunch of fish (thats what is expensive on my realm)
Bunch of enchanting materials, I DE pretty much everything I get from WQs and dungeons.
And Augment Runes from LFR.

Could most likely have earned more if I bothered in creating enchants out of the materials etc, but meh. Making gold is stupid easy, everyone can earn more than enough for game tokens every month if they just bother to do it.

I did that back in WotLK, took control over the gem section. Was a ton of fun seeing all the gold just pouring into my mail box everyday, and all it took was like 30 minutes of game play each day (checking AH every now and then to buy up people who undercut my gems), it takes so little effort when you first get control. Expensive to start with though, actually bought gold from some dude to get started. Lol.
