World Of Warcraft: Dragonflight - Best Ways To Make Gold In Season 4 (2024)

World of Warcraft Dragonflight's season four shakes up and revives the economy once again. With new gear breakpoints and crests, everyone wants to get their item level up quickly at a cost of gold instead of time. Crafters and gatherers will surely capitalize on this opportunity.

This is only one avenue out of hundreds of ways to make more gold in World of Warcraft Dragonflight's season four, but it is quite limited until the market is saturated again. In this guide, you'll learn the best ways to make gold fast and maybe get some WoW Tokens for additional game time or even get enough Blizzard Balance to buy The War Within expansion.

Bind On Equip Gear Farming - BoE Farming

One of the best ways of farming gold is through BoE farming, but it is only worth it if you are running a specific difficulty.

Imagine players spending hundreds of hours progressing through the highest-difficulty raid and losing the rolls for their most wanted gear. With BoE items, you can sell the gear and help players gain a big item level boost just with gold.

Where Do You Farm BoE Items?

For this strategy, you are aiming for heroic or mythic difficulty raids. Some pieces go for even as much as 3 million gold. However, the prices are very erratic and can change drastically in a day or two.

In Dragonflight season four, there are "awakened" raids. There will be a specific raid with the "awakened" buff, meaning they are empowered, which also gives better loot or gear. To join these raids, you need to use the premade group finder and search for the term "BoE" in the filter.

Look for groups specific to BoE farming and try to apply to them. Most of the time, these groups will have the awakened buff since there is no point in BoE farming weaker or older raids in season four.

Once you have joined a group, go to the raid. Your group should clear as many trash or mobs as fast as possible and then reset. These monsters will have an extremely low chance of dropping a BoE, but if you find one, it'll all be worth it.

You'd want to join mythic BoE farming groups, but this means that you'll get a lockout. However, if you want multiple farming sessions, even with a lockout, you'll have to create your own group next time.

4x2 Or 2x4 Farming Strategies

The 4x2 or 2x4 farming strategies are always active in the premade group under the "Customs" tab. These groups are designed to farm a specific type of item in huge quantities. The essence of a 4x2 group is to "farm in bulk" because everyone in both groups will be eliminating monsters to get eight times more loot for everyone.

In the overworld, if your group isn't a full party (five members), you'll still share the drops with everyone else. For example, if there is a group farming scales from dragons in the Ohn'Ahran Plains, each member of the two groups of four can skin each dragon separately. So, there is literally eight times more loot with the strategy for each member.

With that in mind, you can use this strategy to farm any high-density areas in the Dragon Isles with some worthwhile loot. Most of these are either farming for skinning, Rousing Elements, and overworld rare mounts.

In most cases, players already make groups of popular or trending items to farm in the premade group finder. You can freely join any without knowing what you are farming in the first place. It'll be profitable for sure.

Making Gold With Crafting

Piggybacking on the previous strategy, if there are materials that are getting expensive, the crafts using these items are also getting expensive. For example, if the demand for Rousing Elements goes up, it could mean that certain consumables or gear crafts are going up as well.

Take advantage of the market while season four is in full gear. Everyone is looking to gear their mains, and in the future, gear their alts for the upcoming expansion. Consumables like phials and potions are all jumping in price compared to season three.

These are also easy to sell, so it is a matter of crafting them with Multicraft procs to maximize profit. If you don't have any maxed-out professions to minimize gold costs, you can disregard this section, but you should also learn which items are spiking in prices.

You can always use the previous 4x2 farming strategy to get the trending raw resources for the crafters trying to make a profit.

World Quest And Old Content Gold Farming

The raw gold from completing world quests is decent and often overlooked in every expansion. These gold rewards scale to the current economy (expansion), so it is a great way to earn currency.

However, these world quests are quite limited. Once you have finished all the world quests that have gold rewards, you have to wait for the daily reset to get new world quests. You can even get up to one free WoW token or roughly 200,000 to 300,000 gold a month if you finish all the daily quests rewarding gold every day.

In terms of efficiency, there are better ways of earning gold, but the biggest benefit of finishing world quests is that you can catch up on cosmetic rewards tied to a reputation or faction. You'll eventually reach max reputation with all the factions in the Dragon Isles if you do this method.

If you want something more consistent and repeatable, you can go to old raids like the Black Temple or the Siege of Orgrimmar to get loot and sell it to vendors for some raw gold. Classes with several mobility skills, like a Feral Druid or Demon Hunters, would be the most efficient farmers.

For old dungeons, it isn't that popular, but running Freehold is a bit profitable. Since Freehold is such a small dungeon and the enemy packs are quite dense, you can clear the dungeon in such a short time. You can finish it in under five minutes and reset the dungeon to repeat it.
