Fishing and cooking are a good money maker/saver combo. If you're cooking your own food, you're not wasting money buying it. Fishing, in addition to the fish used by alchemists and used for cooking, can make money if you focus on the various pools of wreckage (Stranglethorn Vale is a good area, for example). These drop cloth and other stuff, which can be sold on the AH. Also, pools can be a good source of bags. Don't underestimate the value of bags in Classic. A disenchanting/AH monkey can be very profitable, as well. In vanilla, disenchanting was not throttled by character/profession level as it later was. You can park a lowbie alt near an AH. Send all greens to the alt, either AH or disenchant depending on prices. Selling enchanting mats is a steady earner as long as you know the market and have patience. As with any mats, you're looking to profit off the people trying to power level professions or those without the patience to farm their own mats.

Two quick things The 2.5k -3k server pop limit was a design choice this was confirmed by 2 original devs. Second the black lotus was on a timer closer to 2hrs and its something that pservers change as they have larger pops and greater demand for it. Nice guide. I like the engineering one i may try that come classic

​@@Kalvis1 Look up on all of the verses of finances in the bible. There is a lot of wisdom in it if you are able to delay your instant gratification. Meaning you need to work more and live below your standart in order to invest in to sowing a seed for better reaping in the future. And one of the most important things is DONT WORK FOR OTHER PEOPLE! By working for someone else you are literally giving the majority of your time wealth and mental focus on achieving someone else's dream bible calls it voluntary servitude. You need to start your own thing as fast you are able to do it after saving money. Eventually other people will work for your financial dreams and not the other way around.

[@GuvernorDave]

8:14 Firefin snapper isn't in the top two. Stonescale Eel is indeed #1 and for #2 you're probably thinking of Oily Blackmouth. (free action potion, and some other less useful things). But actual #2 is Nighfin Snapper and Oily blackmouth would be 4th. Winter squid is 3rd being the only melee dps food buff and relatively difficult to farm. (Open water drop, seasonally limited) Firefin snapper (5th) aren't worthless but their use is limited to 1 alchemy recipe (fire oil) and its products aren't as valuable as Blackmouth Oil. Fire Oil's primary value is as a cheap "burnable" resource for powerlevelling alchemy through a certain skill range. Alchemists buy this rather than fish it themselves due to most players hating fishing and Firefin typically being dirt cheap. These fish values are based on per-unit pricing (not taking speed of farming them into account). Nightfin is a chore. Only one black lotus is allowed to exist at a time in each zone that has them. If you find one, you can know for certain there are no others in the zone. Gathering it starts the respawn timer, (for that zone) which is debated to be anywhere from 1-4 hours but is probably highly variable to prevent clockwork farming. Only one will respawn at a random location among the possible spawns. (spawn timers and node numbers are buffed on private megaservers due to population of course) You can't 4:47 "pick up a little _group_ of lotus". Even with knowledge of the spawn timer you have to visit each potential spawn point in the zone to find the _o̲n̲e̲_ place where _o̲n̲e̲_ has spawned. If another player camped a different spot and it spawned there, bad luck. Also 100g apiece on nostalrius for black lotus was due to chinese gold farmers having complete supply control. They used level 35 characters parked at every spawn point in the game and logged them all in at "roughly" spawn time, waiting until it appeared. They used teleport/flyhacks and had the characters float under the terrain avoiding mob aggro but still being able to loot the herb. Black lotus inflation on nost was due to a total monopoly by gold farmers. Not supply/demand. In a regular economy they should range from 15-30g apiece (maybe 40-60g late in progression) depending on the server age/content phase. Most guilds will not be flasking for MC, ONY or ZG (BWL debatable) aside from maybe putting Titan's on the tank. These are just nitpicking, though. There's good info in this video too. Your advice on buying twink items early and things like high level green resistance rings is spot on. A lot of retail refugees won't know what these are worth and they will be oversupplied in the opening weeks/months and vastly more valuable later on. There are a lot of seemingly "low value" items that fit this category and correspondingly will probably be a lot of players vastly underpricing them, not knowing what they've found. E.G. High level green wands "of healing" (55+) are holy priest BiS til Naxx. Expect to pay 300g+ for a well rolled one. Edgemasters handguards are lvl 45 mail gloves that provide +7 weapon skill to 1h axes/daggers/swords. (no other stats except armor at lvl45, mail grade) A layman's appraisal of it's power would probably be 'mediocre'. Yes it's an epic BoE world drop but it's low level and not even plate and it's stats look unremarkable. It also happens to be BiS for Fury DPS warriors until Naxxramas. (Fury warriors are the most played class/spec and top PvE DPS when endgame geared.) The bonus weapon skill allows warriors to itemise away some of their Hit stat into other dps stats and +7 is huge despite any given warrior likely only benefiting from one of the 3 bonuses. (Weapon specialisation talents encourage using the same weapon type in both hands) Edgemaster's is the most valuable BoE world drop in all of Vanilla (also statistically the rarest) but at first glance it looks pretty meh. I sold one (ever) on a low-population, mid-progression private server for 650g. I wasn't even lvl 60 yet. But if you spot this being sold at a price reflecting a layman's appraisal of its value (typically 50-100g but anything under 300g) you should snatch it immediately, assuming you have the funds. For anyone interested in making bank in Classic it's worth researching to find out which items are unexpectedly valuable compared to their "on paper" strength. Then buying these very early in Classic's lifespan

[@mentalmarvin]

@Thelondonbadger In Feralas open water, I make ~55g/h fishing nightfin+oily blackmouth. That is of course afk-fishing while watching netflix/youtube on the second monitor.

[@mentalmarvin]

@Thelondonbadger Oh yes! Got 400g on my lvl40 so far. I'm ally on the Kronos 3 server. Fishing (at night!) within feathermoon stronghold. Cooked nightfin stacks can be sold above 30g very quickly. Oily turns into free action potions with fluctuating prices, but for sure sells at 15g/stack.

[@mentalmarvin]

@Thelondonbadger I'm on a mature server, with mature economy, so the gold-per-hour ratio will be much smaller at first. It's a good question! Fishing and cooking endgame is only at level 35. Most people wanna rush to max, and when they are, they discover how severely underpowered they are and shifts their focus to grinding better gear. My only goal in classic is purchasing my epic mount the moment I ding 60. For sure fishing is perfect for holy priests waiting for invites, but most people hate fishing.. I just found it quite easy alongside watching movies. As they predict MC will be beaten within weeks, the demand for nightfin will be there pretty fast

[@mentalmarvin]

@Thelondonbadger botting is bannable yes, easy to discover even on private servers. No need for second monitor, just make the game smaller in window mode :)

One thing I did as a horde was farm deadmines for wool to sell on the AH. People loved buying it for the reputation donations. Not sure if it was a thing in wow, but i made a killing in BC

I went with tailoring / enchanting. Got to 225 asap, I was the first to post a 12 slot bag on the AH and ....... it took 2 days to sell it at 70% off the initial price. Got jebaited thinking bags would be something everyone wants, but turns out people were holding on to their gold. Oh well

[@NathanHassall]

video starts out by talking about needing 100 gold to buy a mount at level 40 to help increase leveling speed then goes on to describe buying items to hold for a couple of months to invest in...

[@Hally-oc8ry]

Problem is though due to this video the supply of some of these items are going to sky rocket, demand will stay the same but the price is going to be slashed for people to be able to get a quick bit of gold. If inflation happens and everybody gets richer it might contradict what I just said, but the chances of that happening is zero to none.

[@hoppskunk83]

About the black lotus for the flasks. if it works like back in vanilla, it will be one hour respawn in each of the diffrent areas which it can spawn in and only one can be up at the time in each zone

[@frodeur100]

i'll go fishing and cooking, and do skinning for free gold + tailoring for bags i guess. I want to go mining + engi, but i fear that i won't be able to get ore fast enough at the start of a server to get my gnomish death ray ready for STV :p

[@MinNyeAccount]

My plan is to get a rogue to 49 ish and spend all my /played preventing ppl from leveling in STV and yes gnomish death ray is an integral part of that

[@SonOfTamriel]

Dreadmaul Hold in the Blasted Lands is nice for a Rogue. Loads of Mageweave cloth, 3 chests spawn every 10-15 mins, you can sneak by Grol The Destroyer if you pull the Ogre Mage (to your left when you enter) that always spawns near the chest inside. If you have the quest for the fragment's the drop rate is pretty good. Send most of them to an alt for Disenchant. Mojo the Twisted also spawns here in the entrance and he's pretty easy, always has a decent Green.

[@shtroizn]

Tip 1: Enjoy the game, the journey, the lore, the class you play (and alts), and stop worrying about min/maxing and reaching end-game. Tip 2: Find a guild that is friendly, grown-up and preferably has a large player base of Vanilla WoW veterans. Be a helpful and giving guild member and you will be rewarded in so many ways... Tip 3: Do tips 1 and 2...

[@saurlex1368]

I think Tailoring/Enchanting will be a good prof to level at launch. They leverage off each other and if you need to you can buy mats off others for cheap. I will definetly level cooking/fishing, I made most of my gold on Nost from selling fish and food.

[@willichtenstein7071]

Enchanting is very expensive to lvl and most of the profit comes from having either rep rewards or rare drops. so I'd highly recommend you get some guild help to level it and collect those rare enchantments.

in classic you can only track 1 thing at a time so mining AND herbalism isn't advised. setting up a twink won't be high priority because theres no battlegrounds on a "Fresh" vanilla server. So youd probably be better off saving any twink items until there is. Might sell for more

[@hughjazz4936]

Most people I see in the comments wanna try to get ahead of the curve. Considering that there are people like me with 10 years of vanilla experience, you don't stand much of a chance. Also, why would you want that? If you're within the average range everything is easier to find, tanks, healers, items etc. If you still wanna hit 60 asap (which will be boring for at least 3-5 weeks), learn your stuff. Quests, routes, grinding/farm spots. All this info is available to all players though, so your best bet is either a better execution, more /played or a fast leveling class (mage, druid, hunter). Again, hitting 60 asap shouldn't be your primary concern, esp. if you haven't played Vanilla before. I've been waiting for Blizz Vanilla for a decade, I sure as hell gonna enjoy every fucking minute of it.

[@fudgefudge8913]

@save animals If you plan on making an alt or two(I'm an altoholic).. one thing I do is get them to an inn(for rested xp).. and use them as either banks or profs or both and play them whenever you get bored of main.. only level them for as long as they have their 2x xp from resting.. and you should be able to get quite a few easy levels on multiple toons every day with minimal effort. For some that's too much of a headache, which it can be, but I enjoy it. And it's a nice way to get a feel for each classes strengths and weaknesses, imo.

The issue is every other dude that's rolled gathering professions is competing for all the same nodes you are, and the ENTIRE server population is in the same starting areas as you are. Good luck trying to mine copper in Elwynn forest with 2000 other nerds trying to mine.

Hey, thanks for the tips, but do you have any idea if in retail will be able to do the same farm as in private servers, i mean the maraudon solo farm with a hunter?? i hear thats the best gold making method for a hunte, to get around 40-80 gold an hour with anyone bothering you......btw asuming crafting the granedes only procs 2 wich would vendor for 10 silver, wont it take like 10000 iron and cloth just to get the 100 gold?? thats insane, i dont know how long will it take you to farm that, and lets not forget how many more you will need for the 1k gold.

[@fudgefudge8913]

I know that mara will be different in classic since the values are different on private servers.. but how much different?? no idea. Could be nearly identical, could be completely different. I hope it still works, though. xD

How do we acquire the science on what items to flip in this manner? For people who have not played pservers and cant remember vanilla, there is no way to know what items will be in high demand later on... and then one might think, what if this is a gamble.... it's costly to through 50 gold into investment of items that will give a pay off months later?

in vanilla i was a mage and let me tell you i couldnt make hardly any money selling food rarely with portals if people desperate. everyone wants food and water but wont pay half vendor costs

[@EmperorNergal]

I don’t think you foresaw the economies being meh, at best, because of layering. It is what it is. Makes the game a bit easier, but I think the economy on most servers is still being built.

How exactly do you make bank with mining + herbs? Just sell everything on the AH? Are there particular ore and herbs that are good money I know you mention Black Lotus but you won't have access to that pre 40

[@Sc4r4byte]

Arcane Crystals are eternally valuable, due to their connection to arcanite bars (thunderfury, sulfuras, and more.) as guilds start to build them, their prices will spike pretty hard.

[@GRIMHOOD99]

Both are in high demands from early herbs and ores because eng/alch is literally must for late game raids.

[@davidthompson6099]

Arcane crystals only drop from thorium nodes. A hard get at 40.

[@devilmikey00]

I'll say this. GET THE STUFF YOU WANT CHEAP BEFORE DIRE MAUL LAUNCHES. Dire Maul is the economy destroyer. If they actually want to make the servers as close to vanilla as possible then Tribute runs, 2 man DM:E Jump runs, lasher farming and DM:N trash farming will all be a thing. Once that happens Mages, hunters and anyone with a single friend will be able to endlessly generate gold from nothing at an astronomical rate.

On Northdale, Flask of Supreme power were selling for 130-150g for the 2 months prior to BL becoming non-bop. After that the price dropped to 60-80g

[@thomasdives6705]

@Thelondonbadger My point was that if they are going to switch from bop to boe in classic, if you plan on farming them as a non-alchemist and then selling them when they stop being bop, you will make a lot less than if you had been farming them and making flasks. I do want to mention that I stopped playing on Northdale about 2 months after they stopped being bop, and towards the end the price was starting to go back up. I am guessing that the market got flooded for a brief time when all the folks that were hoarding them started selling them.

Classic is classic. For you guys who didnt play vanilla, the server cap was VITAL for server identity and community.

[@karlhinton7484]

Unfortunately Classic and Vanilla are going to be 2 different animals. At the beginning no one knew what the fuk was best for what. Classic on the other hand has potentially no learning curve at all. Trouble with a boss get a guide, cannot find an npc look at tou tube. I don't think classic will touch vanilla. It was about discovery, adventure, discomfort and grind grind grind. Most people will half arse it just to get to 60 and then find out it was about the journey not the end . China is gonna make a shit load of cash from this and Blizzard will laugh and do nothing.

It was only a blind journey for morons and children. Add-ons, guides, thottbot and gold Sellers were common as fuck even in 2004.

[@inswarlock09]

in retrospect no one twinked , bots and guilds controlled black lotus and most elemental drops. Mostly everyone paid mages to boost. If anyone finds this Vid for WoW fresh its right in old wow or private server but new WoW its very wrong, if you want to make alot of gold roll a mage learn to aoe grind and sell SM boost. I made 2k gold (in 2 weeks because I am lazy) selling SM boost at 60 for 15g x 3 boosties. Another good money make is selling elemental earth and arcane crystal so Mining is a must.
