WoW Gold Making Before Midnight

With Midnight launching March 2, smart gold-making now will set you up for Day 1 dominance.

Top Gold Making Methods

  • Material speculation - Stock up on mats that will be needed for new recipes
  • Transmog flipping - Buy low, sell high on rare appearances
  • Consumable crafting - Flasks and food always sell pre-expansion

Profession Optimization

  • Maxed professions - Having professions ready means Day 1 crafting profits
  • Work orders - Fill high-value work orders for guaranteed gold
  • Gathering routes - Optimized farming paths for current materials
