For today’s guide, I want to cut to the chase: I’m earning 100,000 gold per month in WOTLK Classic, and I want to show you how to replicate it.

So far in WOTLK Classic, I’ve grown my gold portfolio from about 100k gold to 1.5 million gold. Since TSM Ledger only counts the value of the item, it is closer to 1.7 million gold coins. So I’ve earned 1.5 million coins in WOTLK Classic so far.

Right now, I’m making close to 100,000 gold a month, but the exact amount varies. And it’s down slightly as Phase 3 hype fades, but should rise again when Phase 4 comes out. So, let’s talk about how I make WOTLK Classic Gold.

Mining - Titansteel Bar

Titansteel Bar has been doing wonders for me in this expansion so far. I set up 5 characters in the first two weeks of WOTLK Classic, and since then, Titansteel Bar has been in production almost every day. Each Titansteel Bar brings me about 100 gold in profit. That means I’m earning 500 gold per day with these Titansteel crafts, which is about 15k gold per month.

But profits have dropped a lot. So I don’t think it’s actually worth investing in setting Mining characters right now. What’s more, we speculate that the cooldown for crafting Titansteel may be removed in Phase 4 or at the latest, Phase 5.

Alchemy - Epic Gem Transmutes

Epic Gem Transmutes is truly a hidden gold mine, and it’s a powerful goldmaking strategy. And it will get stronger the more Alchemists you have.

I recently completed my 10th transformation of Alchemists. Each Epic Gem Transmute brings me around 200 gold profit per day. Actual profits vary. Their prices tend to go up on Wednesdays as people raid and get new gear. And it’s likely to rise in Phase 4 when people get new gear from Icecrown Citadel again.

Plus, you can sometimes earn extra Epic Gems by becoming a Master of Transmutation. You can also increase your profits significantly by having your Jewelcrafter improve skills and cut gems into high demand gems.

Each Alchemist earns 200 gold profit from conversions per day. Multiply 200 gold by 30 days per Alchemist to get 6000 gold per month. Since I have 10 Alchemists, I get 60,000 gold per month. But this is only for logging in once a day, which takes about 20 seconds per role.

Right now, you probably don’t have 10 characters like me. But I talk about this to show my personal goldmaking strategy in WOTLK Classic, and to show you how powerful Alchemy is.

Best of all, your Alts don’t even need to be level 80! Once your Alts level reaches 65, you can level up your Alchemy skills and start earning profits. And it’s super cheap to set up too.

After setting up 10 Alchemists myself, it cost me an average of 2k gold to raise their skill from 1 to 450. Once I sell all my consumables, I usually get back about half of my gold. So it actually only cost me 1000 gold per character. Referring to the profit of 200 gold per day, it takes only 5 days to achieve breakeven.

Enchanting

Next, I want to talk about Enchanting. Many people have made thousands of gold from Enchanting from the very beginning. When Phase 3 came out, I finally worked up the courage to max out my Enchanting and spend some gold on Dream Shards.

I make just about anything profitable and throw it at the auction house. I made about 30,000 gold in the last month just from Enchanting, about 1,000 gold a day. Actually, my best advice here is to research what is profitable and use your logic to think about what sells well and why.

Over the past few months, I have transitioned from farming gold to trying to make more gold with less effort. That’s why my current goldmaking strategy is heavily based on Professions and profitable Crafts.

Personally, the only ones I really use are Mining, Alchemy, Jewelcrafting and Enchanting. But as highlighted in this guide, there are plenty of ways you can earn money with other Professions too. If you already have some gold, hopefully you can use what you have to make more gold.

That’s what I have prepared for you today. I hope it helps you. And I hope it helps you earn more gold in WOTLK Classic and puts the power of compound interest and passive gold making into perspective. Because Professions can be an extremely powerful goldmaking tools!
