As we dive into Phase 5 SoD, players are constantly on the lookout for efficient and profitable ways to farm gold. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer, understanding the latest strategies can significantly boost your in-game wealth.

 


Through Group Gold Farming

In 2024, players no longer want to spend hours farming gold by killing mobs. Instead, they opt for group gold farming, which is both effective and fun when playing with friends. Some popular methods include:

Zul'Gurub (ZG) Trash Farming

This is great for farming gold while gaining ZG reputation for Zanza potions and shoulder enchants. It's easy to do with guild members, resetting the instance to maximize efficiency.

Echo Farming

Players can farm Frostmaul, Winterfall, and Shardtooth E'ko. Organize a guild event and make sure everyone has completed the "Luck Be With You" quest. These echoes are valuable, and farming them can generate plenty of Season of Discovery gold.

Doing Daily Blackrock Quests

These quests take 20 minutes and reward around 50 gold, enough to cover raid consumables.

Fire Elemental Farming

Farming Fire Elementals for Essence of Fire can be profitable, especially as they still hold value at around 5 gold each.

Supply Crate Farming

By running level 48+ dungeons, players collect Tarnished Undermine Real, which can be exchanged for boxes containing valuable items like Librams, Black Lotus, and Greater Eternal Essence.

Through Farming Items

If no one shows up for group farming, you can switch to highly effective solo gold farming methods.

Golden Pearls Farming

These are selling for 50-70 gold each, providing a solid solo option. This method also allows you to practice fighting as Alliance, taking on Nagas and Fails.




Essence of Water Farming

Toxic Horrors in Felwood is another great solo option with less competition. These mobs are mid-level 50, and this farm is ideal for making gold while leveling a character to 60 or saving for an epic mount.

Fishing for Profit

Fishing can be lucrative, with items like Rumsey Rum Black Label selling for 5 gold each. Winter Squid became fishable again on Sep 23rd, offering another great opportunity. While fishing may be boring, this is why it's highly profitable due to low competition.

These solo methods are efficient, allowing you to make good gold without relying on group farming.

Through Offering In-Game Services

In 2024, offering in-game services has become a highly profitable way to make gold in Season of Discovery, especially for players looking to save time and effort. SoD boosting services are in high demand, particularly for lower-level dungeons like Ragefire Chasm (RFC) for Horde and Stockades for Alliance. These dungeons are accessible by various classes, making boosting a flexible option. Scarlet Monastery is also a prime spot, with boosters able to earn around 12 gold per run due to the high demand.

Another popular service is Dire Maul Tribute Buffs (DMT Buffs), where players can set up a group, sell buffs, and easily make gold by selling IDs. Timing is crucial for maximizing profits, as peak hours yield the most customers. Working with summoners to transport players to these locations ensures more business, and summoners can also make easy money, often earning 10 customers in an hour.

 


Selling summons is another viable service. Players stationed in places like Winterspring or Darkmoon Faire can earn a steady income from this. Collaboration with guild members or friends can make this process more efficient and fun, keeping everyone involved and engaged.

In Phase 5, players can buy Librams from the Auction House and craft them in Arcanum to sell in trade chat. Fire Resistance enchants are still in demand for Molten Core and Blackwing Lair, along with Veracity and Focus enchants. It's beneficial to keep a few on hand for potential buyers. Profession services are profitable, with flasks skyrocketing in price, making them a no-brainer to produce and sell. Engineers can make easy money by selling repair bots directly, avoiding middlemen. Selling enchants like +4 stats while AFK in town is also profitable.
