The Burning Crusade Anniversary Edition goes live on January 13, 2026, and we’ll be stepping through the Dark Portal once again. This time, you’ll want to hit Outland prepared. That preparation can include gold farms, daily quests, and pre-patch-specific farming strategies.
Of course, WoW TBC Anniversary gold buying options can also speed the whole process up on your behalf. With Blood Elves and Draenei entering the game, the overall variety will ramp up even further. On top of that, new professions like Jewelcrafting will open the door to stronger crafts and extra gold on the side.
So let’s not stretch this out, and take a closer look at how you can get a fast start in WoW TBC Anniversary.
The Importance of Daily Quests
To start making gold with daily quests, you first need to hit level 70 as quickly as possible. That’s why it’s important to have a strong leveling run. The most valuable money-making quests in Outland also start after level 70. Another key point is that daily quests aren’t about huge gold spikes. They’re a steady, reliable income source.
- The best way to get full value from daily quests is by using a flying mount.
- Your first priorities should be the dailies in Sha’tari Skyguard, Ogri’la, and Netherwing.
- Daily quests are not the “ideal” way to farm gold. They work best as a small part of bigger strategies.
- Shattrath City is excellent for profession dailies like Cooking and Fishing.
- For WoW TBC Anniversary gold farming, the best option is the Shattered Sun Offensive dailies. This is where you can earn your real gold.
- Lastly, don’t forget the daily dungeon quests that come with Magisters’ Terrace.
If you pay attention to all these details, daily quests can become a stable income stream. You won’t make massive gold, but it will be a consistent, low-effort source of passive gold over time.
Most Ideal Farming for Alliance and Horde
In the early days of a fresh launch, the best money often comes from simple materials. During week one, consistently farming Copper/Tin and pairing it with basic herbs is an easy way to build a reliable starter bankroll.
Thelsamar, Stonewrought Dam, the Mo’grosh Ogre
The first route is for Alliance players and covers the outer edge of the Loch Modan map. You can complete the loop by rotating through Thelsamar, Stonewrought Dam, the Mo’grosh Ogre area, Ironband’s Excavation Site, and then returning to Thelsamar. Along this circuit, you’ll find plenty of Copper, Tin, and basic herbs. On top of that, if you spend a bit of time in the humanoid camps near Thelsamar, you can also farm Linen Cloth and Wool Cloth.
The Crossroads and Stonetalon Mountains
The second route is for Horde players and follows the mountain edges of The Barrens. The Copper, Tin, and Linen trio can be farmed extremely quickly. Horde players can start at The Crossroads, head toward Stonetalon Mountains, swing by Ratchet, and then loop back to The Crossroads through the southeastern side.
We strongly recommend running these starter routes for at least 45 minutes. But keep in mind the game has just launched, so chances are you’ll have plenty of players farming the exact same loop.
Lastly, be careful when selling your materials. For Auction House listings, always aim for the busiest hours. And whenever possible, sell in stacks of 20 or 10. Small, scattered listings usually don’t get picked up by crafters.
Long-Term Professions
For players planning to stick with TBC long-term, there are two “big fish” professions worth calling out: Leatherworking and Blacksmithing. Let’s take a quick look at what each of these professions brings to the table.
- Leatherworking: In Leatherworking, the biggest long-term gold maker is the TBC leg armor market. With the Nethercobra Leg Armor, you can set up a fast, repeatable production cycle, and the profit margin is usually very strong. If you also farm the materials yourself, your gold profit can climb to seriously high numbers. You can unlock the Nethercobra Leg Armor by grinding Honor Hold (Alliance) / Thrallmar (Horde) reputation and buying it from the quartermaster.
- Blacksmithing: For Blacksmithing, there’s a very niche item that can still sell for strong profit: Felsteel Shield Spike. It’s aimed directly at tank players, so you shouldn’t expect fast, constant sales. But when it does move, it can bring in a solid chunk of gold. You can pick up the Plans: Felsteel Shield Spike by grinding Thrallmar reputation and buying it from the quartermaster.
Profitable Recipes with Thrallmar Reputation Rewards
The ideal way to earn WoW TBC Classic Anniversary gold is by leaning on crafting professions. At this point, the best overall pick we recommend is Alchemy. That said, making gold with Alchemy isn’t exactly effortless. You can find everything you need to do, clearly laid out in the list below.
- First, hit level 70 as quickly as possible.
- Then, use Hellfire Ramparts + The Blood Furnace to grind your way to Honored with Thrallmar.
- In the final step, you can spend some gold to speed-level Alchemy. If you don’t want to invest gold, getting Alchemy up to 330 will take quite a bit longer.
- Once everything is in place, you can buy the recipe from Quartermaster Urgronn in Thrallmar for 5 gold.
- With the recipe in hand, you’re ready to start producing a battle elixir.
- Now grab 1x Terocone, 2x Felweed, and 1x Crystal Vial. Open your Alchemy profession window and craft 1x Elixir of Major Agility.
- You may also want to farm the required mats yourself. If you do, your WoW TBC Classic Anniversary gold farming will be much more efficient
To make consistent gold through fast crafting and farming with this method, a flying mount is required. If you’re planning to farm your own consumable materials, you absolutely need to be on a flying mount.
