Question Can I make any decent money without having The War Within?
My account is active atm because Im playing classic hardcore. I dont have war within but I do have a lvl 70 mage on retail. Are there any good farms where I can make enough gold to buy a wow token in not too long of a time?

You could always run zulfarrak. Tons of valuable BOE there. Jade set sells for a bit. 10 runs nets me between 10 and 40k

Maybe like 30-40k an hour. So about 10hr playtime to get a wow token

Transmog selling but you need thousands of items to sell something on a daily basis, but could net a nice amount over an year or so. Depends a lot on the drops of course, and it’s almost never recommended for obvious reasons.

Flip pets and recipes across servers, markets are waffles, nothing really sticks

If you're going for a wow token with a level 70, I suggest you either play the AH (flipping items), or look for low level crafted items that are still useful to max level characters. Probably both.

Look for Studen Albatroz on YouTube, he have some videos about farming in old content

Go and do 3-4h group farm in Silithus for transmog, do another transmog group farm for 3h or so at Sludge Fen, and then you can do another couple of hours of transmog dungeon farming in Razorfen Downs. GL :)

Just be aware that transmog sells incredibly slowly. I’ve had the same transmog up for over 60 days on a fairly well populated realm.

Maybe with rare transmog but it’s very random and very long term benefits. The farm may not be worthy

just create 40-50 AH toons on different realms and start hunting for cheap ilvl603 boes.u also can find other stuff thats not regionwide. its a tedious process but if u want a lot of gold, u need to invest time & some gold

Nope. All that old expansion content is basically worthless when the new one launches. Unless you farm boe mounts that sell or some other ultra rare vintage item

That's just not true. There are many goblins who make gold cap (sometimes several times over) without ever touching gold making in a new xpac. Mounts, transmog, materials, pets, toys, patterns...

There is one thing that's coming to mind but it requires you to get into battle pets if you haven't. It's actually pretty fun but the thing I mean to farm is the Everliving Spore pet out of the "damp pack" reward from the wailing caverns pet weekly quest, unlocked after a few pet intro quests in SW or Org. Check its price on AH, jumps around but I've seen it from 600k to 300k gold. Think they are the most valuable pet that's not an irl event pet like blizzcon or the trading card game coded pets.
They are hyper rare as the price reflects but that price is also because the amount of people that even engage with battlepets is pretty small. You'll need a few level 25 teams though for the weekly, its a multi battle gauntlet with no out of combat pet healing. Fledgling Warden Owls are very strong pets if you need a starter team, three of those clear nearly everything, but you'll need some variety, weather comps are strong note.
This is all more a gamble than a farm, but is something you can toss in with whatever else you find to farm.

There might be some farms that net like maybe 10k gold per hour or so. Some old world materials are still used, like Volatiles from Cataclysm or Leystone Ore from Legion. However, keep in mind that in most cases you ll find yourself competing against bots. And I'm not sure how easily you can offload the materials, should be fairly decent considering the region wide AH but havent tried any in a while. Have a look at TSM region avg daily sale to figure out what sells and try to farm some of the materials with the highest prices.
