9,999,999 gold coins in World of Warcraft – and earned in just one year. A player shows how to do it – even without extensive auction house knowledge.
Getting gold in World of Warcraft can be quite a lengthy and difficult task. While many can barely cover their basic costs, such as repairing or buying potions and enchants, a few manage to amass a lot of gold – mostly through the auction house. But you can also become rich with crafting professions. On the WoW subreddit, a player shows how he achieved this with a single profession.
Leatherworking has brought Jackthedoggo to gold cap within a year.
What is the gold cap? In World of Warcraft, the term “gold cap” refers to having 9,999,999 gold coins. At this point, no more gold can be collected on that character. However, you can store the gold, for example on alt characters, to continue increasing your wealth.
The gold cap is sometimes also regarded in-game as a price limit for auctions. Because if, for example, a particularly rare mount is available in the black market auction house, the price usually quickly rises to this gold cap. So it is not only the upper limit of possession for a single character, but also the maximum amount that an offer in the game can cost.
How did he achieve this? Those who think that Jackthedoggo farmed in a particularly clever way or mastered the typical auction house game to perfection are mistaken.
In a lengthy post, he explains that he achieved all the gold primarily through leatherworking. Although he also has alchemy as a secondary profession, this only helps him reduce the costs for his own needs for potions and does not bring in actual gold.
At the beginning, Jackthedoggo specialized only in belts, as there was a constant and high demand for them. He never asked for large tips or prices but simply set a minimal amount that ranged between 5,000 and 7,000 gold. Some only paid that, but many would have given significantly more money, and there were days when he would log out with several hundred thousand gold coins in profit.
Gradually, he then specialized in other armor pieces – after the belts came the bracers and so on.
By the way, most orders he received during the weekend, where he mostly focused on them while waiting for invitations for “Mythic+”. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, he spends between 2 and 5 hours trading – so that takes up most of his time, which ultimately led to an average income of around a million gold per month.
He also emphasizes that he initially ignored crafting professions and only got into them later. As long as one specializes in one or two recipes, it is not a big obstacle to earn gold with the professions even as a latecomer.
In any case, his post seems to have convinced some that the professions in World of Warcraft Dragonflight might not be as pointless as some initially thought.
You just have to use them wisely.
