WoW Classic TBC: How To Make Gold Early In The Burning Crusade

  • Burning Crusade Classic has now released, continuing on the nostalgia that WoW Classic offers. Aside from leveling up or finding the best addons, one of the main concerns for the thousands of players that have jumped into World of Warcraft Classic since its launch will be farming gold. If you’re not sure how to ‘grind’ effectively in The Burning Crusade, you’re in luck, because our WOW TBC Classic Gold Farming Guide is sure to help you out.

    Loot everything

    You'll pick up a lot of junk when you loot enemies. You may also be tempted to only loot the stuff that looks worthwhile, but money you can make by selling grey items will soon add up. Get into the habit of checking how much items are worth on the auction house, too. It may be tempting to sell unwanted stuff to a vendor for convenience, but you may get way more for it by selling to other players.


    Running dungeons over and over again can also be a fruitful way to secure some gold in TBC Classic. Mainly, you’ll want to be burning through instances with a lot of enemies like the Slave Pens or Shadow Labyrinth, so that you can ensure you’ll get as much passive gold from enemies as possible. On top of the passive gold that each enemy drops, you’ll be able to pick up some sellable items and gear that can add to your total income per dungeon. Rare boss drops that other players in your groups don’t want to hang on to can be sold for some decent raw gold, while bind-on-equip items can either be sold to vendors or listed on the Auction House for some extra gold.

    Master your crafting skills

    Max out, optimally, two crafting skills when you have the gold to do so. Yes, it is a heavy investment, but if you select crafting skills which are high in demand, it will pay back manifold and make your TBC classic gold farming life much easier.

    Plus, the materials that aren’t used by you can additionally be sold off for a lot of gold as well!


    Making gold through professions will include an element of Auction House usage, but not to the extent of using it like we mentioned in the previous section. Instead, when you make gold through professions, you do so by farming materials yourself from the open world and crafting them up before selling them to other players.

    The best professions for material farming include Mining and Herbalism (with Fishing serving as a solid secondary choice), as you can mindlessly traverse the world searching for different nodes of ore or herbs to collect and stockpile. Additionally, there are countless guides online that can point you in the direction of optimal routes through zones that you can follow when farming for materials. With the addition of flying mounts in TBC Classic, getting around zones and farming materials is going to be a lot more efficient of a process than it was in Classic.
