Many people here ask if it is possible to farm a token in a few days and how to do it. As a new goblin I found it very difficult to make sense of the market and techniques and often found myself confused and without direction. As a result I decided to share my experience and explain my methods. Be warned, it's not as easy as the youtube guides tell you. If you wanna do this you'll need TSM or some kind of addon to figure out prices.
Disclaimer: I am by no means an experienced goblin, I'm just sharing my experience and trying to give advice so you won't see any "hard data". I'm also in a medium-low server so it might not apply in high pop servers.
I was a returning player. Been around since WOTLK and have multiple alts. I stopped playing around June of 2017 and returned this January. The status of my account was as follows:
- 4 toons at 110 (Shaman, warlock, priest and DH)
- 2 garrisons at lvl 3.
- Mining/Herbalism/Alchemy/Enchanting/Engineering/Tailoring at 600 (or with the Legion/Draenor training)
- Around 30k in liquid across all my toons.
What I did first was cataloguing all the items I had in my banks across all my alts. I created my own guild and bought the guild bank tabs to help me organize everything. When I finished I had around 30 pieces of transmog worth around 15k, I only kept those with a value above 500g and disenchanted the rest. I kept all materials and posted everything else in the AH. The next things I did were:
Transmog runs: Picked 2-3 farms (ZF, Uldaman and the Desolace farm which has been nerfed) and farmed until I got around 100 items and posted them.
Garrison: I leveled up all my garrisons and used them to farm Sumptous Fur, WOD herbs and ores. If you have the Herb Garden and Excavation at level 3 you can get around 40 herbs and ores per day (per garrison), this builds up with time. I used a mixture of methods to make gold out of this. Get the Inn to lvl 2 and begin recruiting followers with the Extreme Scavanger trait (weekly cooldown). These followers will get you more resources per mission. Get the Trader's Post, each day a npc will appear that trades certain mats for garrison resources, buy in bulk to fuel your work orders.
Legion Inscription: Go out there and get at least Rank 2 with each herb. Farm herbs and mill them (use
批量研磨入梦叶 for the Nightmare pod drop). You'll need to know which glyphs or things are profitable in your server, for me they were druid and dk glyphs. I've heard a lot about Tomes of the Tranquil Mind but haven't tried them.
Legion Cooking:
苏拉玛奢华大餐 and
培根片... that's all. It's a very competitive market so you'll have to undercut. I did this on my main since getting the recipes is kind of a grind.
Legion Enchanting: Do every WQ that has equipment and disenchant it. NEVER vendor green BoEs, send them all to your enchanter. You'll also need to have completed the Enchanting questlines but they are not very difficult.
公式：附魔戒指 - 急速之缚 and
公式：附魔戒指 - 爆击之缚 sell well (again, it's server dependent).
Order Halls: Level up your followers and get those gold missions. If lucky, you can get around 5,000 gold per character per day.
Now that I've written all of this I see that it was a lot of work. Usually it takes me around 1 hour to do all the daily chores with my alts but in my opinion it's completely worth it (and fun). If you plan on leveling your order halls I would recommend not using your Bloods to buy mats, you'll need them to fuel missions later. You'll need time to set this up for the first time, it took me around 8 hours of play time to get everything in place. However, once started it will be easier and less time consuming. Transmog market is a treacherous mistress don't invest all of your time in it. Many youtube videos will point you into markets that are already flooded, adapt to it.
I hope this "guide" is helpful to new goblins. Most of these advices are found scattered in several posts across this
reddit so go ahead and read. Good luck goblins.
