How Much Gold Do I Need for TBC Classic? from freeamfva's blog

With TBC Classic around the corner, many are asking how much gold do I need for the new expansion and content. The good news is you almost certainly have enough gold to get into raiding and/or arenas, so long as you aren’t with a really hardcore guild or team. And that Outland itself will help make up for any gold shortages you may have now coming out of WoW Classic.To get more news about buy wow gold safe, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

There are a lot of demands for gold during Phase 1 of TBC Classic. Arguably that is when having gold will be best for your endgame progression. Only a few are absolute, must-have purchases. The rest are nice to have items that will improve your quality of life and in-game performance. But missing them won’t lock you out of enjoying endgame content.

Yes, we all want an epic flying mount and pre-raid BiS. But unless you are in a guild requiring those on the first day of raiding (in which case you should be the type of player who is already prepared) those are not required to get into Burning Crusade Classic Phase 1 raiding.

A flying mount is required to access some endgame content in Outland. A regular flying mount will do. The skill training costs 800 gold and the mount itself costs 100 gold. If you go in with little savings this shouldn’t be a problem by the time you reach level 70. As long as you save gold earned along the way.

Druids can initially skip this expense, as their normal flight form training provides the same functions and costs 100x less. But druid swift flight form requires the druid to learn both regular and epic flight training. So if you want swift flight form later you will eventually need to pay for the 800 gold training.Normal flying mounts are only good at getting you into otherwise restricted endgame areas. The mount runs and flys at 60% speed, the same as a normal ground mount. For most travel, you’ll still make use of flight points and your epic ground mount.

Training costs a whopping 5,000 gold, and you needed to have bought the 800 gold skill above first. The mounts themselves cost 200 gold. If you plan to pick up epic flying as soon as you hit level 70 you’ll spend a total of 6,000 gold for all training and one epic flying mount.

The epic flying mount is not required for endgame play but could be considered required for specific aspects of the game. On PvP servers, anyone without an epic flying mount will be at a strategic disadvantage, as other players could potentially run them down. On all servers, anyone planning to do gathering professions will be at a disadvantage without an epic flying mount. Other players will be able to beat you to nodes and cover more area in the same amount of time.
Epic flying mounts fly at 280% speed and run at 100% speed. You’ll find flying yourself will be faster in many cases, as you can take a more direct route. It is the only mount you’ll need in Outland, though you’ll want to keep your epic ground mount handy should you return to Azeroth.

If you want to level up your profession quickly you’ll need to spend gold. How much will be determined by your server and faction, but in all cases expect prices to be very high during the opening days of the expansion. The supply of mats will be low at first, driving up prices. Plenty of players have significant gold savings, not to mention those who buy gold and will throw it at what they want in ridiculous amounts.

Gather yourself or be patient

If you have a matching gathering profession on the same toon or a level 60 alt that’ll help. But the low supply and high prices will drive many to farm mats, so again expect more scarcity in the early part of the expansion.

If you do not have a significant gold reserve you may want to wait. Prices will come down over time, though no one can tell you how much and by when. At the very least hold off on your professions until level 70. You’ll earn a significant amount of gold leveling in Outland, and more working on raid attunement and other endgame content. Meanwhile, you’ll give the market time to cool down.

Invest in yourself for profit

On the other hand, if you have enough gold to power through the right crafting professions then there is an opportunity to make a profit in the early days of Phase 1. Alchemy transmutes, blacksmithing BoE weapons, and tailoring transmutes will be in demand. Not to mention alchemy consumables and jewelcrafting gems. The first players with the desired skill and recipes will make good money during the first couple of weeks guilds start raiding. Prices will fall, suddenly and dramatics as the supply/demand curve reverses. But with the right timing, an initial investment could more than pay for itself. And leave you with one less expense to worry about.
