AI Summary

This video explains a method to make gold in World of Warcraft by farming lumber and crafting player housing decorations ("the core"), with potential earnings up to 95,000 gold per hour. The creator emphasizes diversification across professions and selling on multiple realms to overcome the challenge of slow sales. It also covers advanced multi-account farming and the future viability of this strategy in the upcoming Midnight expansion.

[00:01]
Insane Gold Opportunity

The creator made 13 million gold in the first week by farming lumber and crafting decorations. Current lumber values are still very high.

[00:15]
Lumber Value Calculations

Cold wind lumber is valued at around 370 gold per lumber, yielding about 95,000 gold per hour when farming 250 lumber per hour.

[01:14]
Elonc.gg Tool

Elonc.gg provides daily updated lumber values for both US and EU regions, and is free to access.

[01:40]
How to Start Farming Lumber

Buy the harvesting hatchet from the lumberjack NPC in the housing area, enable tracking lumber, and farm nodes.

[02:20]
Crafting and Selling Decorations

Diversify by crafting decorations from multiple professions and expansions. More variety increases sales chances.

[03:39]
Sell on Multiple Realms

Instead of dumping all items on one realm, spread them across different realms to increase sales speed.

[05:13]
Barrier to Entry

Lumber is war-bound, so you must farm it yourself. Professions like tailoring, enchanting, and inscription are easy to level.

[06:21]
Flipping Decorations

You can also make gold by buying decorations cheap on one realm and selling on another.

[08:47]
Multi-Account Farming

Using multiple accounts with druids in travel form can increase lumber yield per hour, though per-character efficiency drops.

[10:24]
Midnight Expansion Outlook

Crafting the core will remain strong in Midnight due to new decorations and barriers like Moxy, ensuring steady demand.

Farming lumber and crafting decorations offers the best solo gold farm in WoW, provided you diversify and sell across multiple realms. With the upcoming Midnight expansion, this method is expected to remain highly profitable.

10:24

[00:01] has been totally insane. So many people loves it and this of course has brought us the opportunity to sell the crafted decorations. I did farm lumber and craft decorations in the beginning of the patch and I made around 13 million gold

[00:15] in the first week. Of course, this is not as good as it was then, but it is still really, really good. So if we take a look here at the different lumber values which is calculated based on the average price of all decorations that

[00:29] use that lumber divided with how many lumbers is totally used times 0.8 to get a more accurate value. We look here at the cold wind lumber coming up at around 370 gold which is totally insane. the total gold per hour farming lumber here.

[00:44] If you were to get 250 lumber per hour, which is a little bit in the low end, you can push this above 300 if you are very efficient. You look at 95,000 gold per hour farming this lumber. Going down to the other ones, it's like 90k, 77k,

[01:00] and all the way down to around 40k for the Dornic lumber. For some reason, the Dornaga lumber is so bad. I don't really know why. I guess more people are value of that is way lower. By the way, if you want to check this out, you can

[01:14] go to eloncs.gg. Simply just log in with a free Patreon Patreon for free. You have access to different lumber values. They are updated daily. And you can check for

[01:27] both of the regions. So both for US and EU. So as we can look here, it is insane value in farming lumber. But of course, the problem with farming decor and lumber is selling the items. And that's what we're going to talk about a little

[01:40] bit right now. But first, I just want to say if you're new to farming lumber and decor, here is the lumberjack in the housing area. You simply just take the portal from your main city to the housing area, and you need to buy the

[01:53] harvesting hatchet. If you're on the horde side, it is just outside the house So, go to the house upgrades, and you will find the NPC for the lumberjack. All you do then is simply just buy it and after you bought it, you simply just

[02:07] tracking lumber by going to the map here. Just as with like mining and herbalism, you just take the find lumber here and you start tracking lumber. So now you are fully liable to just go around everywhere and farm lumber. So

[02:20] lumber. And let's talk a little bit how to craft the decor and how to efficiently sell your decor because I hear so many people every day saying that decor isn't selling. It's so hard to sell. How are you doing to sell your

[02:34] decors? And of course, if we have an opportunity to make 90,000 gold per hour, it's not going to come with no effort at all. Meaning, it's not selling materials on the auction house. It's not going to be selling instantly when you

[02:48] post it. So, you got to do some different things to get it sold. And my recommendations for selling decor is easy, but it requires a little bit of effort. So what I always say number one is to diversify as much as possible. So

[03:02] the more professions you have and the more craft you're able to do the better. So as we know you're able to craft decor from every profession in every expansion. So for example if you have inscription you can craft the core in

[03:15] classic inscription. You can do it in Outland. You can do it in every single expansion that exists. And this is also going to include midnight. And just as a quick side note here, I believe that crafting the core in Midnight will be

[03:27] absolutely insane as well. But yes, so the more different expansions you have in every profession, the more you can craft. And the more you diversify, the more different items that you craft, the higher chance of finding a seller for

[03:39] that item you have. So the more items, the more sales. And of course, maybe item in the game. And maybe it's not even worth it because different items has different value. and some items is maybe not even profitable because they

[03:53] require so expensive side materials. But you're going to want to craft as much different stuff as you possibly can with a good profit. And after you have crafted enough for the realm that you are currently on, you're going to have

[04:06] to expand to more realms. So the course is on the server specific auction house. So it is really really important that you utilize selling decorations on different realms. So, let's say I, for example, want to craft five Ginan maps

[04:20] profit. You don't want to go and dump all of the five Ginian maps on your chances of selling five of the same items on the same realm is really small. So, what you want to do then is you want to have five different characters on

[04:35] five different realms that you sell on because then you technically have a five item, right? Roughly, of course. But it's going to increase your chances a lot of selling that item. And let's say you have a total of 30 different items

[04:48] that you have crafted three of. So you have 90 different items. Instead of dumping all of those 90 items on your realm and hope to be lucky to sell all of them, like that's never going to happen. You're way better off dumping 30

[05:00] to the next realm, one of each item, item. Like if you do this, you're going to see insane sales. This is just how to solve the problem of the core isn't selling. And if you still think the core

[05:13] enough. You got to get into more realms. You got to get into more different crafts. And yeah, it is the name of the game. Since it is so good gold for the effort you put in, more people going to want to put in the effort to do this cuz

[05:25] competition is going to be fierce. But if you just spread out enough and craft enough items, you will see steady sales and your gold per hour will be insanely bit rough now at the beginning, but I really, really think if you get into

[05:41] going to see some crazy sales and you're going to make a lot of gold on the way. going to make a lot of gold on the way. And this is by far the best solo farming that you can do in World of Warcraft in terms of how much gold you make. And it

[05:53] will probably be the best solo farming that you can do going into midnight and staying throughout the entirety of midnight is my thoughts. Like I don't gold per hours is very high. They're not going to drastically go down before

[06:08] midnight anymore and they're going to stay good in midnight. More people come in, higher demand, more competition of course, but at least higher demand, more So, it's just going to boom. Like, I think this is a really steady and good

[06:21] gold making thing that's going to be good for a good good while. So, don't sleep on this. I also, as a side note here, want to say that you can make a lot of gold by flipping the core as well. If farming isn't your thing, you

[06:33] can buy and sell the core very efficiently and very easy as well to make gold that way. Basically, buy it cheap on one realm, sell it for more on another realm. I won't go through in detail how I do this in this video, but

[06:45] possibility of you and people are making so much gold flipping the core as well. So, if you want to go that route instead of farming, you can. I have very good guides on flipping and together with my profiles like point blank sniper and TSM

[06:59] out. Just saying. But also, we do have a TSM profile in the Discord that you can go and claim for free in the gold making resources chat that you can use to sell earlier, the barrier to entry for the core isn't super duper easy. You got to

[07:14] do the boring farm of lumber because lumber is war bound. So, you can't buy them. That is the biggest reason that this is so valuable still because you actually got to go out and farm your own lumber to craft the core. It is also

[07:27] required to have different professions. And if you haven't started this yet, I can tell you that some professions is easy to skill up. There is no excuse of Like you got to have all professions, blah blah blah. You really don't have to

[07:41] have all professions. And what I can say just quickly is I think you can try to get inscription, tailoring or enchanting or all of the three because in some expansions they are super duper easy to level up especially tailoring because

[07:55] tailoring only needs bandages to skill up in most expansions and that is super duper cheap. You can go in and make your decorations instantly pretty much. So, don't have the professions cuz they're super duper easy to skill up and this

[08:10] sleep on it if you actually want to make some ridiculous solo gold. So, I would say like if you're just starting out having no professions, I would just recommend you to go with tailoring,

[08:22] enchanting, and inscription. Incription might be a little bit more annoying to level, but incription is the profession that has the most decor per expansion. for some reason, I don't know, they just have five instead of three like the most

[08:34] think about that. And I think that everybody can do this and you can do need any help, don't hesitate to go into the Discord found in the description and just ask for some advice and we'll happily help you along. There are some

[08:47] ways you can go about and make way more gold with this as well. If you want to be completely digging, you can farm lumber on multiple accounts at the same time fairly easy. So, let's say you have two different accounts. All you really

[09:01] need is two druids with the travel form and going windowed mode, splitting it up on two different sides of your screen, and you need some macro to follow, and you need to bind your interact key, and you really easy can gather lumber with

[09:15] going to hurt your lumber per hour per character a little bit. Let's say, for example, that you make 250 lumber for playing one character. You're probably going to make 400 lumber per hour if you play two characters. So the lumber per

[09:29] character goes down a little bit, but the more in total of course is insane. A so much more gold. Let's say you have five account, then you probably make like four times amount of lumber that you do if you play on one account and

[09:42] then you can craft four times more decor and you can make four times more gold, This is the next level. This is something that you absolutely do not have to start out with. But if you want to try this, just know that it pays off

[09:55] itself really quickly. I know that it's scary to go with more accounts. I know don't need the expansion. All they need is game time and that you can pay with gold. Getting multiple accounts isn't as big of a barrier as you can think. But

[10:10] the next level. I just wanted to include it because yeah, why not? I've been the community is doing it on multiple characters because everybody knows how You can do it on one character, make 80k

[10:24] gold an hour, and that is totally insane for being a solo farm. As I mentioned craft the core in midnight. And my thoughts about that is that it is going to be very, very good as well. You're going to be able to craft all of this

[10:37] old content decor that we have in the game right now. And you're also going to be able to add the midnight decor. A lot of the decoration from Midnight is of the decoration from Midnight is locked behind Moxy, which is the old

[10:49] artisan's acuity, which we have in the war within. If you're not familiar with what that was, it was basically this that was used in profession crafts, etc. that was used in profession crafts, etc. A hard to come by reagent that is soul

[11:01] bound. A lot of the recipes in midnight in professions is locked behind moxy, which makes another barrier to entry, which is going to keep up the value of the decorations from midnight as a good thing as well. I hope so. I do believe

[11:13] that decorations in Midnight is going to be huge as well. And with the current crafting system of Midnight, how it's looking on the beta. It is not in the best state in my opinion. There can come in a lot of changes and I hope so. But

[11:26] the barrier to entry for regular mass crafting professions and concentration, etc. is really low. So, decoration might be one of the actual best ways to make gold in Midnight overall for the entirety of the expansion, even from the

[11:40] happens. But if you are very into crafting the core, I think that you're as well. So, you can be happy about that. Once again, if you want to check elong.gg. I am going to add farming routes there

[11:55] as well as soon as I can. So, you're going to be able to find routes there where to farm every lumber and how much lumber you get per route per hour as make sure you check that out. It's completely free, guys, to check out the

[12:08] account. It's super duper easy. Don't sleep on that. Don't forget to join up the Discord channel as well. We have 200k gold giveaway running there always. So, make sure you join that one and join the community. We would love to have you

[12:21] something with this video and I hope that you have opened up your eyes to crafting the core if you're not into it yet because there are really really good gold making opportunities with crafting and farming the core. or
