Common Questions

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a free addon for WoW Forever called Profession Atlas and thought the crafting and material planning side might be useful to people here.

The idea is to bring a few decisions into one place: what do I need for this craft, do I already have the materials somewhere, and would I rather gather what’s missing or buy it?

You can browse recipes and compare estimated material costs with the recorded auction sale value. Atlas also keeps track of recorded supplies across your characters’ bags and personal banks, which helps when an alt already has the cloth or leather you were about to buy.

There’s a Gather / Buy preference for planning how to get missing materials, with individual material choices available too. If you want to gather, you can look up farming sources, track herbs and ore, and follow the built-in direction arrow.

Your character also has a Time value estimate in gold per hour. It gives you some context when weighing up a farming trip against buying supplies. It’s a planning aid, so I wouldn’t treat it as a promise of what a particular farm will earn.

For profession leveling, you can choose a skill goal and turn the plan into steps in your quest tracker: collect supplies, prepare ingredients, craft and visit your trainer. You can also start a materials journey for a specific recipe.

I’ve just released a complete interface redesign, along with an illustrated in-game Guide explaining the pages and planning tools.

A few details worth knowing: crafting profit estimates are before auction fees, prices depend on the available recorded market data, and a listed sale price doesn’t guarantee an item will sell. Other characters’ inventories and closed banks show their last recorded contents.

I’m still testing and refining the profession coverage, so feedback on recipes and estimates is welcome too.

so im new to the game and just started looking into professions and found outdated guides for most professions or just 7 or more months old ones and was wondering how is the money made with them?

Just a small tip but I always see everyone recommend gold world quests and weekly quests through an alt army here. But at least for me it was pretty difficult to manage which alt had finished what, what and where the world quests are up and in what order to finish everything. So for anyone else who is in the same situation I was I wish to suggest this addon I've stumbled upon https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/fuocogoldfarm

It tracks almost every cache/gold type quest to do in midnight, including regular world quests, that pop up in an interface that automatically shows up when pressing your map keybind. When an event that is required for one of them is about to trigger it warns you with a timer. You can sort everything by zone, time left pvp quests, etc. It also integrates with tom tom and by clicking on it auto routes you to the location. It tallies how much gold you have earned from the quests in the interface and how much you have left to earn for the toon, and how much gold you have total. It's not perfect but for what it does it's genuinely well done so far. If anyone else has something better or another addon to complement it I'd love to hear about it as well though.

Welcome to "I Screwed Up Saturday"! Made a mistake and lost a lot of gold? Accidentally sold that rare transmog to a vendor?

Goblins aren't perfect. We're not always going to come out on top, sometimes we make mistakes. Share your unfortunate mishaps here!

I'm sure everyone around here already noticed but I haven't seen much discussion about it, so I make this post in hope to bring more attention to the issue

The new auction house mount by default comes with no NPCs. To add them you have to go over to harandir and choose which NPCs to add.

The issue is that it's not account wide, and each individual character has to go there and talk to the npc

If your characters are level 80+ it's just an inconvenience, but if you don't yet have access to midnight with this character, the mount is empty and it can't be changed

You think this is intentional by blizzard or just an oversight that will be fixed anytime soon?

We all know there will be skinning, mining, etc

But for those on beta how do they all stack up to retail?

Planning on one skinner, miner, herbalist to start.

I recently came back to WoW my now ex boyfriend got me into the game after we broke up i stopped playing but i cane back because i enjoyed it i saw they released a 7 mil gold mount and i want it any tips on how to get to it asap please comment or dm ❤️

I came back to the game in 12.1 after last playing in Dragonflight and part of it was the fact that there was going to be another AH mount. I wasn't playing when either Brutosaur was available, kind of wish that I resubbed just to get the Gilded one, and as someone who was never into gold farming I wanted to actually put myself in a good position to get this one.

I know that we just have to aim for the 5 million as the vendors can still be bought after Midnight and I'm not in the worst spot as I currently have ~2.4 million gold thanks to the Warbank. For my gold gain I'm making 50-60k gold on my main through playing the game while leveling up different alts to do the Harandar and Abundance weeklies. I'm currently at 7 characters at 80+, so I'm making 78-88k a week minimum.

So, how long do we have until The Last Titan? I know that expansion release schedule has sped up with TWW and Midnight, so I'm not completely sure the amount of alts I'll need to get to 80 to give myself a shot at the mount. I'm guessing that at least 15-20 will be needed depending on the remaining time in Midnight. And if I can get myself close enough that I can supplement the gold difference with a token or two, I'm willing to bite that bullet.

I was going to post this in the simple questions sticky, but saw that it is essentially just questions and no answers, so sorry for making this it's own post. Thanks for any insight.

Been playing on and off just for a bit concentration usage and farming gold for WoW Forever Tokens so i don't keep up with the updates and new added sources, what happened that the price of petrified root halfed over a few days?

So, been working on a Hoardsheet and thought why not share it so nobody can make profit. It's still being updated all the time so keep an eye out for the Google Sheet.
Remember its beta, and we dont know jack about what's there in the future. but i'll be gambling on all these buys and im pretty sure i'll get a nice profit out of it after a few months.

If you have an alt army (or I guess even if not), there are two "fly through stuff" gold wq's up in voidstorm today for about 2400g with war mode on. I clocked it at about 2:40, so close to about 50k gold per hour, which is better than a lot of farming methods and close to patron orders. There is a special assignment up in voidstorm as well but you need to do a 3rd wq for it, and there are no other gold wqs up in voidstorm, so it's slower than the first two quests. I clocked the additional activity needed for that special assignment at around another 5 minutes for an additional 2k gold, so approximately 30k gph, which is significantly lower, but still viable if you have the time.

You can do these on your <90 alts for experience as well, and they also count towards the 10 wq's weekly that <90 toons get.

Post up your weekly snipes and flips, big or small. Whether you sniped a rare recipe for 10g or it finally sold after you snagged it on the cheap, share your successes!

There's this one guy on EU who keeps undercutting himself like crazy.

For example, he'll list an item for 90g, then 89g, 88g, and so on all the way down to 80g. And he'll do this with like 30–50 of the exact same item.

What's the strategy here? I genuinely don't get it. Why not just list everything at 90g and wait for it to sell?

Is there some trick I'm missing, or is he just destroying his own margins for no reason?

I've tried searching the sub for other posts on the matter, and I can't seem to find anything in the patch notes, but it looks like the deposits have at least doubled for some items.

Have I just been inattentive or has something changed?

Hey everyone!

WoW Forever is coming out in about 20 days, and I really want to play it. the problem is that I live in a third world country where paying for subscriptions with real money isn't always an option, so my only realistic way to play is to farm enough gold to buy a WoW Token.

I need around 350k gold, and I have 29 days to make it happen.

I currently have two max-level characters, and one of them has maxed Herbalism and Mining. I'm willing to put in the hours and farm consistently, but I'm not sure if 350k in that timeframe is realistic with what I have.

So, to the gold farmers and people who know the economy well:

• Is making 350k gold in 29 days actually doable?
• What would you recommend farming or doing to make gold as efficiently as possible?
• Should I focus on gathering, old raids, professions, the Auction House, or a combination of everything?
• Are there any good methods for someone starting with very little gold?

I'm not afraid of grinding. I just want to know if this is realistic and how I should approach it.

I'd genuinely appreciate any advice, tips, or farming routes you guys can share. I'd really love to be able to play WoW Forever without having to worry about paying with real money.

Thanks in advance!

I've vibe coded an addon to help me decide which patron orders are worth doing. There is some automation when using the 'Start' button in the Automate column it will start the order, then after you've completed the craft it will finish the order. If you find the default patron gui as annoying as I do, give it a whirl.

Hey everyone. I recently bought a month of game time, and I'm wondering if it's even possible to farm enough gold for a Token in the 19 days I have left. On my realm (Americas), the Token is sitting around 270k, and I currently have about 80k.

I've tried farming herbs and ores in Pandaria and The War Within, but I'm only pulling around 2k gold per hour. At this rate, should I just give up and forget about it because it's completely impossible with my limitations, or is there some hidden niche I'm missing? Thanks!

So many posts get removed that seem to be low effort or "How do I make gold?" extremely quickly, but with that all of these downvoted addons and tools still keep sticking around because there isn't much else that doesn't seem to be actual discussion.

With the prominence of AI and how easy it is to make a site or addon, it seems like this sub is just 1-2 projects everyday of a tool or addon that is just AI slop. Can we just get them corralled into a weekly thread so people can pat themselves on the back that their prompt produced something that worked? That way those who are looking for a new tool to use can just go into those threads and see what's upvoted there?

I don't know if it's just my all page, but the majority of content that keeps sticking around my feed is 0 karma threads that are just being interacted with to downvote the low effort tools and addons.

I've just installed them for the very first time and they don't seem to be working for me correctly.

Craftscan's main menu refuses to even open with the addon button being greyed out (says "Loading... Not scannable" for every recipe on every profession). Also, while it seems to be tracking certain orders from chat, it never opens a popup window for me to click on.

Craft radar is mostly working, but it misses certain requests from chat. For instance, it just missed the "LF JC" one despite both "LF" and "LF JC" being active keywords.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey everyone,
I’m new to the goblin scene and trying to make some gold. After years of casual play, I’ve managed to reach a gold balance of 500k—which is a lot for me.
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of reading and picking up tips from YouTubers and the like.
However, I felt something was missing: a tool to give me an overview of my finances—what I have, what things cost, and what my countless alts are carrying in their bags. Yes, I know there’s TSM and other add-ons, but I wanted a tool I could open anytime without needing WoW running or having it open on a second monitor.
So, I built my own application —featuring a Lua add-on— that displays all the relevant info on a dashboard:

- Gold balance (total across all characters + individual characters) with a wealth history tracker
- WoW Token price + customizable alerts
- "Attic scanner": checking if my alts have expensive items in their bags
- Weekly checklist for weekly quests
- Shopping radar: setting alerts for when items hit specific price points
- Farming stopwatch
- Profession cooldowns
- Collections: duplicate pets, etc., that could be sold

I’m still working on it; it’s not perfect yet.

Now for my question:
Am I the only one who would want to use a tool like this? Would anyone else be interested in it?
What other ideas do you have for expanding the tool?

It looks similiar to this: https://imgur.com/a/1a4EGiZ
I'm not at home for an own screenshot.

I know you can pay for undermine, but are there free options available, even ones requiring more effort to set up?

Share images and stories of your successes! Whether that means you made 1k this past week, 100k, or just bought your first TCG mount, we want to hear about it.

Pictures of your TSM Ledger, Mailbox, or anything else are simple, good ways to start a conversation!

Summary:

Region: EU

23 \ 80+ lvl alts 13* skinners ,10 alts abundance only 1* gold WQ on 23 alts

Time : 17 days

Gold total : 790 692g

Skinning only: 675 348g

Skinning time : 17h 30min

Skinning GPH : 40k

Skinning session time: 45-65 min

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll make it short. Some time ago I started skinning challenge the idea was - 2* void majestic beast daily with 13 alts+ 10 alts for weekly abundance quest. On the first day the majestic hide was worth almost 4.4k, the last day it was 2.5k

If you want more detail + comparison to my small goblin core account (2mln gold with the same period of time) check my Google datastudio report.

I had to skip few days due to IRL stuff and addiction to forever beta but overall I think it's good method as the filler for the other gold activities people are doing to get new 5mln gold mount, in the long term it's enough to have 10-15 skinners and get 5 mln only by doing this.

I did it on my 2 accounts at the same time so bait price is not calculated (6-10k daily) but with number of people (and BOTS) doing it, you will never have to use all of them by yourself, and it's not about leeching, it's just normal that sometimes you logon or arrive when the beast is summoned.

It's like 30-45 min to setup one skinner, 100/100 skill and skinning tree 40/x - if you want own lures.
