Stop Selling Honor Gems! Sell Recipes Instead
39sReveals a counterintuitive min-max strategy for higher gold return using honor, appealing to PvP players seeking efficient income.
▶ Play Clip"Delivers exactly what it promises — practical gold-making tips for PvP players without boosting."
This video provides practical methods for World of Warcraft players to earn gold through PvP activities without engaging in boosting services. It covers strategies for using honor points, opening strongboxes, and looting war supply crates to obtain valuable items for the auction house.
The video aims to help PvP players earn gold for gems, enchants, and other expenses by leveraging PvP activities in the Midnight expansion.
Instead of selling gem reagents, players should buy recipes from the Mida vendor for higher returns. Prices vary, so check the auction house for the best selling recipe.
Strongboxes obtained from any PvP activity contain profession reagents, recipe scrolls, and consumables. Early in the expansion, recipes can sell for up to 50,000 gold each.
With war mode enabled, supply crates randomly drop into zones. Looting them gives bloody tokens and a chance at valuable recipes. Often there is little competition.
The video intentionally avoids boosting services and focuses on accessible gold-making methods for all players.
Spend honor on valuable items, pick up war supply crates, and open strongboxes to maximize gold earnings while playing PvP.
By utilizing honor vendor recipes, looting strongboxes and war supply crates, PvP players can generate substantial gold without resorting to boosting services. Focusing on high-value items early in the expansion yields the best returns.

05:28[00:01] gold in World of Warcraft? In today's video, I'm going to show you some different ways that you can make gold by doing the thing that you love, playing PvP. So, Midnight is finally here and you are probably really hyped about
[00:13] playing PvP, but you're probably constantly struggling with having enough gold for gems and chants and whatnot because it is quite costly and as a PvP player, we know that you're not really making any gold. But, there are actually
[00:27] make gold while playing PvP and expansion when stuff really is expensive. First of all, let's just quickly have a look here at the map in the Silvermoon. This is where the PvP
[00:41] vendors are located. So, this is where I'm currently at. So, as you might know that offers you different things for sale, the conquest gear, the honor gear, the recipes, and the bloody tokens vendor that sells you the PvP gear.
[00:54] First of all, we're going to take a look here at the Mida vendor. This vendor you can make a lot of gold with. Of course, when you're playing PvP, you don't want to prioritize spending all of your honor on like recipes or materials.
[01:08] character up. But, after a while when playing PvP, you will get capped on honor and probably a few of you will get capped really quick and have like the And then, you don't really know what to spend your honor at. So, if you played
[01:21] the previous expansions, maybe you did invest all of your honor into the gem reagent that you can sell on the auction house for usually quite a lot of gold cuz it was really stable in the War Within at least. But, what I would
[01:33] recommend if you really want to make gold with the honor that you have is looking into the different recipes. Of course, they are not going to sell as fast as the infused heliotrope, but the recipes were having so much greater
[01:46] return in the War Within than the actual gem reagent. So, if you want to be serious and like min-max the gold you make here, you want to look into the recipes instead. And even if all of them have the same cost, they are usually
[01:58] varying a lot in price. So, you should check what recipe is either selling the fastest or has the best value and put that up. And eventually, you're going to make a way greater return than selling the gem reagents. At least most of the
[02:12] [music] is cheaper, this is going to be the win. And of course, if you want to also take it to a next level, which I guess most of you probably won't, you can also transfer this to other realms and sell it for even more gold because
[02:26] recipes is on the realm-specific auction house. So, they have different prices varying on different realms. So, now we have covered this vendor. I think maybe this isn't something that was really new to you about selling the gem, but
[02:38] consider the recipes at least. Even though it's really chill to sell the gem cuz it's selling fast, if you want to be able to get a little bit more gold out of your honor, check out the recipes. Give it a try at least. Another thing
[02:50] that you can make some gold off of is these strongboxes. The strongboxes may contain profession reagents, recipe scrolls, PvP consumables, and more. So, this strongbox can actually also contain the recipes that you can sell on the
[03:06] great. Cuz if you're lucky in getting one here, especially in the earlier part some serious gold. Some recipes were easily selling for like 50,000 gold each
[03:18] in the early War Within. So, this is really a chance for you to get some extra gold out of it if you're lucky enough to get recipes or even reagents when you are farming this kind of stuff. So, don't forget about that and don't
[03:30] just hoard the recipes. If you're lucky to get one, don't just leave it in your bag for later. It's worth posting it on the auction house because you might be the beginning now of midnight. And the strongbox is pretty much a reward from
[03:43] any PvP activity. So, you will kind of passively get this if you just do PvP, right? So, another thing that I want to say is the PvP crate that is randomly coming into the maps when you're out in the zones with war mode on. If you have
[03:57] war mode on, the crate sometimes fly into a random location in your zone. As you can see here, we're getting a war supply crate. I don't know where it disappeared to on the map, but those crates that randomly flies into the map,
[04:10] if you loot them, they contain those bloody tokens and they also have a chance to drop a recipe. So, if you're leveling through midnight with war mode on and you actually take your time to try to get those chests, you have a
[04:23] can be really valuable. Sometimes there are not even competitions for those chests depending on like what relevant time you play and whatnot. I realized when I was playing war within at least that a lot of times the chests had no
[04:36] competition from the other faction. So, everyone on your faction was like really you're lucky enough, you get a recipe drop and in the beginning that can be really valuable as I said like so many times during this video. So, don't sleep
[04:48] the map. Even if you're fully geared or whatever, take your time, get that chest cuz it has a chance to contain a lot of value. There we go, we have a war supply it and we're going to see if we can be
[05:02] can see here, it's coming in like in a flying machine and you also get an alert on your screen even with no add-ons like that it is a crate that's coming in. Okay, so now it has stopped here on the location. So, now we just have to wait
[05:16] until the crate drops down to the ground. So, this is how it looks and let's see what we get in it. We get some honor, some conquest and some bloody tokens. Unlucky we didn't get a recipe this time, but maybe the next time, you
[05:28] intentionally not talking about boosting and stuff because that I feel is not accessible to everybody. So, that we will not be covering, but I know that probably a few of you are doing that kind of stuff where you probably can
[05:41] make a lot of gold, but this video is of course not meant to cover boosting. So, your honor points. Spend them on something with value and put it up on the auction house. If you're out in the world with war mode on, do not miss out
[05:55] picking up those crates for some extra chance to gain some nice value. Also, take the chance for those strong boxes. Maybe you're lucky to get something you will be successful in Midnight. Consider joining the friendliest
[06:09] community Discord down in the description. Much love. Thank you so much for watching. And I'll see you guys in the next video. Goodbye.
