WoW Vanilla: Top 10 Tips and Tricks to make Gold as you Level! Elysium/Nostalrius/Kronos

[@erlingoskarkristjansson8609]

1. Loot Everything 2. Take Skinning and Mining 3. Don't buy skills that you need until after level 40. 4. Fishing nodes (especially while waiting e.g. for boat in Ratchet). 5. Put white items on AH if they're worth something. Try Informant add-on from description. 6. Use a city-based bank-alt character. Send all items that you want to sell to that character. 6 1/2. You can disenchant any green item as long as your character has level 1 enchanting; and then sell that. 7. Sell BoE blues rather than using them yourself. 8. Buy rare recipes from vendors and sell them at AH. 9. Buy food & water from mages rather than from vendors; vendor food is expensive. 10. Check Quest Reward values and take the most expensive items to vendor.

[@sqeezer21]

Great video but holy shit keep the music down a bit.

[@JohanLindhe]

Yeah, it was really loud for me too! O watched on my phone(Xperia Z2. Yes Z2, not XZ2 ;) ) , no headset :)

[@immoralcaveman8815]

Check out my guide on how to make gold and grind between 20-30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6e9Z6yLqdZjfsU

[@rbogdan7373]

Agree with Kalle, it gets in the way, I wanna hear maybe whatever music you want but lower the volume please.

[@draphking]

The dedication to a 12 year old game is truly astounding. See everyone on the 7th.

#nolife-life

[@OnurAslanDebian]

World of Will awesome video btw!

[@FecalMatador]

MrZurata I'm not gonna bother with the fresh server. Lvling is screwed up enough as is

[@elliottbott7213]

go hard or go home. Vanilla WoW was where you actually had to think and interact with people as it was an MMO, now WOW is like, Singleplayer with the occasional party up content...

[@Yanya420]

MrZurata In lots of ways, Vanilla WoW could be compared to Smash Bros Melee

[@flim-flammington]

here i am watching this video within 24 hours of classic release. realizing he made this 3 years ago, his classic hype was real.

[@dutchrealm9403]

3 hours to go!

[@zedthefish]

I never have issues with gold in vanilla. My top tips for making gold either while levelling: Cooking: you will be killing beasts, you may as well profit from them. Cook the meat, vendor the meat. Around level 30 you'll get 60s per stack, sure, it's not much, but its better than nothing. Mining/engineering: Make iron grenades. 1 Iron bar, 1 Heavy blasting powder, 1 silk cloth. = 2-4 grenades = 10s-20s vendor. If you go around arathi you can easily make 30g in an hour or so. I recommend farming for an hour or two when you can. Make a shit load of iron grenades and vendor them. Do this 3-4 times around level 37-39 and you will EASILY have your lvl 40 mount. This is a proven way to make gold. When Elysium launched my warrior had lionheart helm and the devilsaur set before 60. And the first thing I did when I dinged was buy my epic mount and training. 6 months later I levelled a hunter, he had devilsaur and black dragonscale gear before 60, and had his epic mount upon dinging 60. I've made thousands of gold using this method. Keep in mind that it requires work. You will have to farm a lot of iron nodes, but I've found this to easily be the best way to make gold without relying on groups, luck, auction house or farming popular over crowded areas.

[@WorldofWill]

That's a interesting method!

[@danielskyving]

great tip! Was gonna take engineering and mining anyway and now I know a good method, thanks!

[@stoyanbozhkow6306]

I've heard that one before, but I have some objections: -First, you will need to level engineering to the said level, not sure if it was around 175 that you get those. Levelling a crafting proff at start will be quite a money sink. - I feel that the said method could be good for lower levels, but at a higher level there would be much better methods for farming gold.

[@dariollanos]

hey, while lvling your hunter you made enough gold for the epic mount with the iron granades method?? and what foods are the best to sell for cash?

[@Kottery]

Great tips, man. Though the background music was a tad bit loud. Still perfectly capable of hearing you, but it was just loud enough to be distracting. Your other vids have a good balance though.

[@spicykimchi1]

Yes, two gathering skills for your first character is a great idea. My very first characters were a rogue and warlock, and I trained in skinning / leather working and tailoring / enchanting. It was slow to make cash so I quickly switched to gathering. Later on, when I played, if I started out in Tirisfal Glades, I chose herbalism and skinning. For starting off in Durotar, I always chose mining with skinning. I played with a guy who picked mining and herbalism. It was difficult to play with him because he kept wandering off to every yellow dot he found on his map.

[@Amutsal]

The music is a terrible addition to this video. I'm not criticizing the quality of the music or the genre, but the fact that it is so flat while also being so quiet turns it from music to a droning noise putting me to sleep and making it hard to follow the voice I need to pick out from this forest of noise.

[@luehring]

thank you for actually providing legit tips that arent recycled in other videos.

[@veganbanditgames2625]

I never played during Vanilla but I'm getting Classic and couldn't be more excited! Thanks for the tips.

[@PeterDB90]

To add on to your tip #8, keep in mind as you level things you come across that people need for a quest or a profession - not even talking about resources, but like an easy example is a "Bronze Tube" for Alliance quest in Darkshire - engineers can make those, so make them and sell them on the AH if you are an engineer, or look up who vendors them (sometimes some vendors sell them in limited quantities) and buy them out so that that vendor no longer has them and players are forced to buy them off the AH for your price. Another good example is the first aid book - past a certain level, you can train first aid via books, and they aren't always located in convenient locations, so buy that book and sell it on the AH. I believe there is one in Arathi Highlands. There are other quests (especially in redridge and westfall) that require items that are not quest-only items - i.e. you can farm them even if you don't have the quest, such as Goretusk Snout/Great Goretusk Snout, Murloc Fins, Goretusk Livers, Tough Condor Meat - you could farm them and sell them in General Chat right in that zone, and believe me, those mobs are limited and the drops from them are rare enough that people will buy them off of you for a decent price just so they don't have to grind that area.

[@elliottbott7213]

you honestly have the best Vanilla WoW videos i have seen, you will not believe how many terribly bad ones there are out there that don't present any stats or research effort to make their points. Please keep up these videos man, your a boon to the elysium/nost community for new players.

[@WorldofWill]

thank you Elliott, I appreciate your kind words

[@Nimhz]

Great video, but please drop the background music, way to distracting.

[@WorldofWill]

sorry about that, will lower in future videos

[@Jessterr2]

Thanks for this video. I'm on Nost just to practice the leveling to get use to it again, getting mods ready, etc.. and I completely forgot about informant! Thanks for helping me catch that!

[@WorldofWill]

no worries, Jesse glad it helped

[@Stoffeangel]

when you just Calculated how much food and water cost from a vendor i was supriced i dont buy that much but even 2-3 is way to much. so that tip really helped me out.

[@Harpazo_to_Yeshua]

Just Wool stacks alone is a huge deal on the AH. The other day I sold stacks (20 per stack) of Wool for 45 to 50 silver each. Then I sold Rough Stone for 15 silver per stone one day, price went down to around 10 silver each the next day, so it changes but still much better than nothing! Copper Ore, 20 stack each, about 65-70 silver. I sold all BoE greens for about 20-40 silver each too. Sell *EVERYthing* on the AH. I am playing a rogue and bandages would be nice but I find making gold on the stacks of cloth way more satisfying! I can buy low level food (or make my own with cooking, depending) for very cheap. No problem. Also, I have enchanting to disenchant greens or blues I am not using and are bound to me. The prices vary but seemed really good for stacks of dust last I saw. Maybe a few gold there too. Already at 30 gold and the Rogue is only level 24. I've not even really dedicated much time or effort into making gold specifically. I'm just questing, leveling and gathering items to sell on the way, that's it.

[@WorldofWill]

I think it does depend on the servers AH, in the early days of the relaunch the AH on nost was screwed hence why I said sell everything to vendor. Prices have come back up again since but it's still a good idea to check

[@DaveFallows]

I love the music. Maybe layer it another three or four more times at different intervals.

[@Mr_Wiley]

my poor ears

[@maltelarsen5189]

Great video! Already applying many of these tips, but some like the vendor rare recipes I haven't thought of! Gz on your growth also.

[@WorldofWill]

Glad it helped :)

[@Stompy1984]

A Tip coups also be to invest your first bit of gold onto bigger bags. You will invest about 4g for 4 10-slotters which you can layer put on the about again when you change them for 14-slot bags. The 16-slot ones are a bit too expensive in my opinion while leveling.

[@fusi0nn]

Excellent video mate! I'm definitely going to take up fishing this time around. I am always maybe 8-15 gold short of my mount come level 40 and with some of your tips. As far as rare vendor recipes go, green items some vendors sell can fetch a pretty penny!

[@neojack333]

I remember as a tailor, I just made every shirt available in the game, and put 2 of each kind in the H. each day i would sell between 2 to 5 shirts. prices would be like 29 silver, all the way up to 99 silver for the black silk shirt. that's some easy, quick bucks. oh and also the rare recipes from vendors yes :)

[@Faarrest]

Distracting SHot is OP when you level as you can taunt an elite mob to run back and forth between you and your pet.

[@DrageonzART]

I know i am a bit late but i just recently started playing vanilla wow and this channel has helped me a bunch! Thank you very much

[@maxallman7533]

Tip about taking mining and skinning is good; found this by trial and lots of error. I would keep just a bit of raw material in case you want to switch profession (e.g. to blacksmithing). Would also recommend doing daily quests for both the gold and to raise reputation (and get max capacity bags)

[@krumb520]

I started wow in BC so I never experienced vanilla until I started playing on Elysium a few days ago but your vids are really helpful. Have a sub.

[@WorldofWill]

Thanks Krumb, more to follow

[@unclephil4112]

some input on number 3 Don't train more than one rank of interrupts. All the higher ranks do is increase the damage it does, which is always negligible.

[@Frostadamus]

Holy shit. Gonna get rich now! :D

[@WorldofWill]

Hey Frost, glad you found them useful - I'm going to be making a video soon that you might find really useful!

[@lozkokaramitev8027]

I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to learn about wow gold guide try Megarno Gold Getter Magician ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got cool results with it.

[@Dante-ut2fz]

Is there 2 music tracks playing at the same time?

[@ChristopherGray00]

yeah they're overlapping, i thought i was high at first.

[@wowclassicmmogo2346]

I know you don’t like making guides but your guides are one of the best

[@Colonel-Cornelius-CornJulio]

Also, Here is one more Tip for getting more money: So if you are a rogue, And you are going to Fight Humanoid Mobs, Pick Pocket them before you Engage them. You Will get twice the amount of Copper, Silver (Depends what level the mobs are). I have tried it myself and I got More money than what I Soppused to get in a low level.

[@WorldofWill]

Cool tip Boris, I like it!

[@FuzzyLogicHD]

Great video mate - congrats on nearly 1500 subs!! wow!

[@WorldofWill]

Thanks fuzzy :)

Glad it was helpful Multi

[@Xylarxcode]

12:00 'Food and water really starts to eat into your costs now' *was playing a mage in vanilla* 'What's everyone complaining about? Food and water is free. I just conjure it up out of thin air and I'm good to go.'

[@DonkeyPuncharillo]

GREAT video and great tips!

[@alexjohns1637]

I don't play nost yet i still watch your vids. You're doing something good.

[@WorldofWill]

Thanks Alex, glad you enjoyed

[@DonkeyPuncharillo]

Dat Barrens chat during the fishing tip lmfao

[@SmilingAsianGuy]

Great tips thanks mate!

[@fubuu8041]

Even tho i'm playing tbc , this videos are helping me a LOT , thank you sir :)

[@tharnos767]

Love your vids man, they're always useful :D

[@WorldofWill]

Glad to hear it Tharnos

[@Zoics13]

Wow dude great tip! I had no idea I was suppose to loot everything! I thought that was just for roleplay

[@UnsilentedStorms]

Level Cooking, Buy the Jungle Stew (175) recipe from the Revel Camp in STV, farm tigers for tiger meat, it uses 2 : 1 apples and water to cook 2 jungle stew from 1 tiger meat which means it costs roughly 66 copper to make 10 jungle stew and can be vendored for 30 silver. (you're making 6 about silver per 1 meat) You can skin them, sell their stackable grey items ontop of this with any uncommon items that drop. Do NOT auction cloth, turn it into bandages (preferably the heaviest kind) and vendor them. Too much of a cloth overflow undercut to properly Auction them anyway or even sell them. Turning them into the heaviest bandage will also help save inventory space out on the go

[@leonj1102]

Another tip I found on my server is to go into the waling caverns and fish the pool outside the instance. There is a ledge you can get on and not agro mobs...a stack of deviate fish sell for about 5g on the AH

[@notmyfirstnamenotmysecondn2219]

very well structured video. also very well spoken :)

[@WorldofWill]

Thanks, more to come :)

[@flash_gordy8415]

tip #7 was the hardest for me as a young lad lvling up in vanilla

[@TheBendbe]

i have leveled like 5 chars to 55+ on a couple of different servers and some of this stuff i have never even thought of XD thx :D awesome vid :) also you forgot the part about fishing for essence of fire whilst waiting on MC raids to form on the fishing part :D

[@WorldofWill]

Glad it helped Bendbe :)

[@billyafest]

I can see people trading classic wow gold with bfa gold 1g classic for 1000g bfa

[@Augury13]

Around 11:30 what’s that Undercity vendor recipe you speak of?

[@Wikingdew]

Good vid dude, I subbed not long ago, man levelling gathering proffs is almost impossible atm on Nostslrius.

[@WorldofWill]

Skinning is easy enough :P

[@thetruesithis]

8:02 how do you make it so your auction house looks like that? Have informant and auctioneer on but it does not look like that. Love your videos. that hidden path in valley of trails really threw me off lmao

[@WorldofWill]

I use auctioneer and AUX :) glad you like them

[@Kalbarrr]

People say "music a bit too loud" or "it's perfectly fine to me". I'm like "How in the world nobody hear this double track music cluster fuck?!" O_O

[@EricLeeStepp]

This makes me want to go back and play Vanilla. I played Kronos for a few months, but not going back unless Blizzard makes one.

[@WorldofWill]

Elysium is as good as it gets right now but im with you on that - would be awesome if Blizzard did make Vanilla servers

[@DPIII1]

wow, thank you for the tips!!!

[@user-ld4ti2eg6s]

6:00 classic barrens chat xD

[@dominoo183]

Great video :) Could you tell me what addon you use for auctioning. It looks like TSM but I don't think there was TSM in vannila.

[@WorldofWill]

It's called AUX :) will be making a video on that and Auctioneer at some point

[@rahbeat9785]

9:10 can i Enchant high lvl stuff if i'm lvl5 aswell ??? great video btw

[@lendir1]

And a way *not* to lose gold, I started during BC and had been looking at items in the auction house. I saw a pair of lowbie green leggings (very common), going for quite a bit of gold. I was chatting with some guildies and clicked the item as I laughed, they were having a good laugh as well. Went to close the auction window, guess who clicked wrong without paying attention, and became the new owner of said leggings?

[@jojoheadshrinker24]

very good tips thanks

[@WorldofWill]

np :)

[@tomgo8439]

It's not so special Vanilla but Addon's 2 of them, OneBag and Postal Addon i find very important. Postal Addon special when you do a lot of Action House, to Auto Collect 30 Action Mails at once for example and One Bag just to see all your Items with one Click, but I think I saw that one in your Video. Great Video, I liked watchting it.

[@potatlePaladin]

What hud is that, and how would I go about installing it so i can use it, it looks amazing.

[@Gurchen]

Nice video, subbed!

[@WorldofWill]

thanks for the sub Gurch :D

[@QuestComplete]

Nice work

[@WorldofWill]

Thanks QC :D

[@gg3-yobm675]

About the tip number 3. How will you know if you dont need it for new players? I bought the remove curse , hibernate and wrath ony feral druid and i just thought they might come in handy. Does this tip only apply to veterans?

[@0dteESmini]

Great tips ty

[@Arrowtodahknee]

Hey, great video whats that Unit Frame addon called that you're using?

[@WorldofWill]

Luna Unit Frames :)

[@Bysentenial]

Here's one. Use general chat to sell stuff. Cuts out the AH fees and if you say you come to me then you don't even lose time. Story time! I once got an item worth about 100k [in mop] for 45k [a battle pet] so I made a macro of WTS battle pet 100k. I just pressed that button once every 10 minutes or so or when I entered a new zone or w/e and it took a month but I sold it. I assume light leather will sell faster. Also when I finally sold it I got like 3 messages afterwords saying they missed my spam, it had become a server wide thing... [few people probably ignored me too but w/e]

[@balintnemes7149]

8:40 how do you get that many action bars? my bartender2 gives only 5!

[@WorldofWill]

I use the add-on bongos

[@tommyduncan12]

subbed, im shit with gold so these will help!

[@WorldofWill]

thanks, appreciate it!

[@tudvari6406]

To Tip #8: How do I know that a recipe is worth investing? And what do you think about levelling Cooking and First Aid? Should I sell it on AH/Vendor for example with a hunter? I think yes, because I can get food from a mage for cheaper, and bandages arent really needed because usually my pet tanks.

[@Sanoskesagara]

Leveling cook can be a great source of income, as some of the mobs around level 30 and above(stranglethorn valley cats at 30, wolves at 40) really start to be a great source of money if you can cook their meat. First aid will save you a lot of time, and it's certainly worth the cost of the cloth. The time you'll save will equate to more time leveling and earning gold.

[@tudvari6406]

"great source of money if you can cook their meat" What do you mean by that? Selling that to vendors? Or players? But why would players buy it, when they can buy it from a mage?

[@WorldofWill]

Hi Tudvari, I recommend taking all the secondary proffs because they open up more quests for you (see my levelling tips video) but as far as money earners they won't really do anything for you till endgame. Cooking can provide some nice raid buffs and there is money to be made in it but again, not till end game. With the recipes, if the vendor is only selling a single copy of that recipe and your in a far out zone in the world - then it's rare. If you have a bank alt you can always check out the competition before hand very easily before buying it :)

[@Sanoskesagara]

Tudvari, I do mean cooking their meat yeah. The cooked meats vendor for a significantly more amount of gold if cooked, and when you get to level 40+ wolves those do sell to other players for 1g-3G a stack because of their stats(+12stam/+12spirit)

[@tudvari6406]

Thank you guys! :)

[@sarevok6]

Also, I wouldnt tell warriors not to train thunderclap. Any mobs that can be face pulled are probably best by charge/TC/Def Stance so they begin the fight with the attack speed reduction. Especially a group of mobs that you don't plan to CC.

[@Smoothy104]

Love the video!

[@Overspin]

2:15 how do you insta loot?

[@a.j4302]

press shift when looting, it will autoloot

[@WorldofWill]

No worries Darren, glad it helped

[@sarevok6]

I was so lucky as an undead warrior in vanilla now that I see these tips haha. I mostly cannibalized and only ate food I got from drops. I also found a krol blade right after I hit 60 and had no interest because it wasnt a 2h weapon haha. So I sold it and bought the mount. Some rogue saw my name on the AH and begged me to take it off and hold it for him until he paid me. Sorry bro, wanted to keep up with the fast kids in AV once that gate opened.

[@deathcookie123]

dont know if anyone has said so yet, but the background music is a bit loud, struggled to hear some of what you were saying

What professions should i pick as rogue on fresh realm?

[@WorldofWill]

Skinning for sure

+World of Will and second one?

mining for the gold or leather working for the gear

[@matthewkeating6970]

Great vid

You don't get the same value for herbs as you do from vendors

[@ahabgaddis7277]

I might have missed it, but why mining over herbalism? So no confusion: I know only one shows up on minimap at a time but wondering why mining is more money than herbalism.

[@sorkpojken]

Great video and great ideas but jesus christ the music man, turn it down and choose something not so intense, doesnt really fit 15 minutes of explaining stuff :D.

[@apathy42069]

Might want to turn down the royalty free music, hard to listen

sorry about that Apathy, noted

[@apathy42069]

World of Will other than that these vids are great, keep it up man :-)

[@durnanironknuckles1617]

plus fishing in capital cities have a chance of getting the One ring, multiple times and some times armor

[@kahmed6]

I think Herbalism is better than Mining (while levelling) due to the fact that the vast majority of ore veins are located around the edges of the zones while there isn't much questing done around the edges so you'd have to go out of your way in order to make sure you don't fall behind on your mining skill. Herbalism on the other hand doesn't have that issue and allows you to pick herbs that pop up all over the zone while questing/grinding so it doesn't slow down your levelling process nearly as much as mining.

[@dimeen]

Does herbs vendor for anything useful? If not it's not worth it. Herbs are only worth money on the AH at a high level, then you've missed out on a lot of money along the way that mining could have given you.

[@kahmed6]

@@dimeen its time commitment required from mining that drops its gold per hour value. Yes you might get less vendor value from herbs but that's made up for by not having to spend so much time outside of actual quest and grind areas just to make sure you don't fall behind on your mining skill

[@kahmed6]

@@dimeen I'm sure you're right in that the vendor value is lower but is the extra time required for mining worth it? That's the main trade off between the two. The quicker I get to higher level the quicker I make money off the high value herbs. Normally I'd have picked mining too but the guides I've been checking out seem to sway mostly in favor of herbalism and it does seem to make more sense to me. I'll need to compare the difference in vendor value between herbs and ores to see how much of a difference there is to figure out if spending the extra time on ores is worth it.
