Gold Making: Trial By Fel Fire and early Legion gold!

Recommended Posts

Professions can be very lucrative early in expansions - Peelyon gives a short run down how to make some early Legion gold!

Introduction

Hey folks!  I hope you are enjoying Legion as much as I am.  The first few weeks can be crazy for gold making and I'm hoping to give you a few tips in this article to help you along the way.  Hopefully you will all be well on your way to levelling to max.  This article won't go into TOO much detail as to how to learn the recipes for all of the items I will discuss (it would be far too long), but Wowhead is pretty useful if you get stuck anywhere!  (I have completed LW so if you have any questions about that I should be ok to answer!)

The next few articles will be fairly short and sweet as I focus on a small area of gold making but remember one of my gold making rules.  

Think about what players are doing in game right now.  What do they want? What do they need? What content is available?  Answering these questions will give you a lot of opportunities to make gold.  So think about the beginning of an expansion, what players  do differently etc.  On the flip side, think about what players don't want or need.  Don't spend hours listing 100's of items players probably won't buy.  Spend that time elsewhere improving your own character, questing, farming.

Professions

Blizzard wanted to go big with professions for Legion and so far from my own experiences on Live servers (and a little in beta) they have done a great job.  Gathering professions will earn you a lot of gold if you can get the materials onto the auction house regularly as players are desperate to craft a whole plethora of items.  Crafting professions have a chance to produce much needed gear for players who are struggling to obtain item level to enter heroic dungeons and start the gearing process fast for their raid teams.

If you have never used professions before now is a great time to start.  Again I won't go into too much detail but needless to say levelling your toon to 110 should be a priority, and pushing through the long quest chains as you level with speed up the process.  Combine profession quests (some require dungeons) with your own levelling to be more efficient.  

Trial By Felfire

The Obliterium Forge is used to improve crafted items.  To unlock it you must embark on a fairly long quest chain and one of the early quests requires you to "turn in" four crafted bracers one for each armour class.

As it is very early in the expansion most crafters will only be able to create one or two for themselves so there is quite a bit of room for profit as long as you can get involved sooner rather than later and prices drop!

The above bracers are available after a large number of quests in your particular profession.  I do hope to get some profession guides out in the future but if you are looking to push them early and make this early gold then just get stuck in to them!

Here is a sale from the other day.

Don't forget, if you don't have any crafting professions you can still capitalise by selling the raw materials on the AH!

Crafting slots other than the bracers (for gearing) can be great as well so ensure you are providing a wide range of items!  So if the prices on bracers have dropped already ensure you offer the other slots to maximise your gold!

Wrap Up

I wanted to get this article out as fast as possible as prices will drop pretty fast over the next week!  Is there anything you want me to focus on?  Any questions put them below and I'll do my best to answer them.  Good luck and look out for my articles over the new few weeks!

I've always been a Tailor. But two items needing leatherworking is tempting. I've heard that now in Legion, it's better to have gathering and crafting, instead of two crafting ones. Is that true?

I believe the gathering/crafting vs. double crafting came about due to the Blood of Sargeras. Personally, I went with G/C just to have the early gold at the start from selling materials. That influx of gold from selling herbs was awesome.

Is that gone? Only now I've been able to get my main going. Still 104 though. Trying to level as fast as possible. =(

It's sort of still there. Prices are definitely starting to settle as supply goes up, it just varies depending on the realm. You won't find many of the crazy high prices that you do in the first few days though.

Damn. I was making  a killing with Skulls of War, but now they aren't gonna sell. I was hoping I could find a better way to get gold with this, but seems I'm late to the party. Thanks for the info. I'm not made to be rich xD

Good luck finding a new way to make gold! I'm sure @Peelyon can help with his guides in the future :P

      Update: Blizzard have sped up the upcoming Retribution Paladin PvP nerfs due to overwhelming community feedback and the changes for the spec are coming tonight, March 24th, instead!
      Retribution PvP Nerfs (Source)
      Update: Due to overwhelming feedback, the Retribution Paladin changes in the above notes are going to be pushed live tonight. Blizzard just announced another round of class tuning for the new patch, with all nerfs coming to Frost DKs, BM Hunters, Warlocks and PvP Retribution Paladins.
      Tuning (Source)
      n patch 10.0.7, we made changes to several classes to address issues we saw with itemization or talent trees. Game data since the patch went live has shown us that certain specs are overperforming, so with scheduled weekly maintenance on March 29, we’ll make the changes below.
      CLASSES
      DEATH KNIGHT
      Frost All ability damage reduced by 3%. HUNTER
      Beast Mastery Kill Command damage reduced by 10%. Marksmanship All ability and pet damage reduced by 4%. Survival Mongoose Bite damage reduced by 10%. This does not affect PvP Combat. WARLOCK
      Developers’ notes: We’re modifying the output of Grimoire of Sacrifice to bring it in line with the output of Warlock demons. At the end of the day Warlock is a pet-centric class and while we want there to be an option to opt-out of your pet, we don’t want it to always be the clear answer. Wrathful Minion now increases the damage of Grimoire of Sacrifice by 10% (was 15%). Demonic Inspiration now increases the damage of Grimoire of Sacrifice by 10% (was 15%). Grimoire of Sacrifice damage reduced by 15%. Affliction Developers’ notes: With the removal of less impactful talents in both their class and specialization trees, Affliction received a lot of additional damage options that have increased their damage beyond what was intended. We’re making these adjustments to bring them in line with other damage dealers. Damage done by spells and abilities reduced by 2%. Darkglare damage reduced by 20%. Demonology Developers’ notes: We’re targeting Demonology’s multi-target profile with these adjustments to bring them closer to other damage dealers. We will continue to watch both single-target and multi-target performance, along with the output of new talents and adjustments delivered in 10.0.7, and make further adjustments down the road if needed. Demonic Strength now increases the damage of Felstorm by 300% (was 400%). Dreadbite damage reduced by 10%. PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER
      PALADIN
      Crusader’s Reprieve healing reduced by 50% in PvP combat. Protection Judgment of Light healing reduced by 35% for Protection Paladins in PvP Combat. Retribution Developers’ notes: Retribution Paladins have been heavily overperforming in PvP with their recent 10.0.7 changes. We’re primarily targeting their burst damage, passive survivability, and PvP talents that we feel are contributing too much overall damage. Judgment of Light healing reduced by 35% for Retribution Paladins in PvP combat. Inquisitor’s Ire effectiveness reduced by 40% in PvP combat. Fading Light effectiveness reduced by 75% for Retribution Paladins in PvP combat. Justicar’s Vengeance now deals 15% additional damage to stunned targets in PvP combat. Justicar’s Vengeance healing reduced by 50% in PvP combat. Blessing of Dawn effectiveness reduced by 25% for Retribution Paladins in PvP combat. Divine Arbiter direct damage reduced by 25% in PvP combat. Vanguard of Justice effectiveness reduced by 25% in PvP combat. Empyrean Legacy increases the damage of Divine Storm by 15% in PvP combat (was 25%). Luminescence (PvP Talent) now increases damage and healing by 2% (was 4%). Lawbringer (PvP Talent) now deals 2% of maximum health (was 4%). Fixed an issue that caused Avenging Wrath’s 75% PvP multiplier to not function for Retribution Paladins.

      The week's final hotfixes bring improvements to Retribution, Warlocks, the Forbidden Reach and quests.
      March 24 (Source)
      Classes
      Paladin Retribution Fixed an issue causing Retribution Aura to sometimes fail to trigger. Warlock Fixed an issue where Demonic Inspiration would still be applied after logging out and resummoning your demon. Demonology Fixed an issue where non-primary pets would benefit from Demonic Inspiration. Forbidden Reach
      Developers’ note: In an effort to be clear about its availability, an existing once-per-day bonus amount of Elemental Overflow per rare elite in the Forbidden Reach has been changed to be awarded from the creature’s respective daily Bonus Objective quest. This should result in roughly the same amount of Elemental Overflow awarded per first-time kill, but now it should be better communicated how often this bonus amount is offered. The Morqut Hearth Totem now has 5 charges before the item is fully consumed. Quests
      Fixed an issue where the quest “Primordial Answers” was unintentionally sharable. Developers’ note: The quest “Primordial Answers” was never meant to be sharable and is now marked as such. Unfortunately, if you picked up the quest via a share, Earthcaller Yevva will not be in your vault and the quest cannot be completed with her. You can gain the quest again and complete it in a future vault when she appears for you.

      Blizzard added 2 pieces of Unique Loot from Aberrus in the latest 10.1 PTR build. A cloak that steals stats from nearby allies and a polearm that unleashes waves of ancient lava.
      Voice of the Silent Star (Back) drops from the final boss of the raid and comes with the following Old God-themed effect:
      The Silent Star - Whenever nearby allies take damage, the Voice has a chance to beckon you. Upon hearing its call 10 times you fully submit to its influence, stealing -139 of the 4 nearest allies' lowest secondary stat, and giving you the stolen amount plus 1,391 to your highest secondary stat for 8 sec. (Approximately 5 procs per minute)
      The second item is a polearm (Djaruun, Pillar of the Elder Flame) with an interesting On-Use effect:
      [PH] Elder Cantrip Polearm - Ignite the Elder Flame to siphon the heat from nearby enemies, dealing 3,900 Fire damage to them and causing your melee abilities to unleash waves of ancient lava, dealing 11,702 Fire damage split between all enemies struck for [10 seconds]. (Instant, 2.5 min cooldown)

      Aberrus received a new loading screen in the latest Patch 10.1 build on the PTR.
      The latest PTR update adds the Aberrus raid loading screen that you will see whenever you enter the raid in Embers of Neltharion.

      We've heard rumors of a third Evoker spec, as hinted by a placeholder quest on the 10.1 PTR, and the latest build seems to add more potential spells and 36 entries in the database table of Empowered Evoker spells.
      The following spell has been updated in 10.1 Build 48661 with a cooldown and initially looked like an NPC spell. Notice the "Emerald" prefix, typical for Green Evoker spells.
      Emerald Infusion - Infuse yourself with Emerald Power, healing yourself for 20% and 10% of your maximum health over 10 sec. (Instant, 45-sec cooldown) The second and third spells appear to be intended for NPCs, as both are seemingly overpowered and without cooldown. "Azure" is also typical for Blue Evoker spells...
      Iron Roots - Raising their shield the dracthyr protects their allies within 10 yards, reducing their damage received by 90%. Azure Prowess - Empowers an ally, increasing their damage done by 25%. (1.5-sec cast, 30 yd range) However, the real find, as Reddit user scottishwanderer, highlighted, is the addition of 36 new entries in the database table of Empowered Evoker spells in the latest 10.1 build. This table contains all Empowered Evoker spells.

      It will be interesting to see what the spells are intended for in the future.
