In the world of Classic WoW, especially on the fresh servers, making gold efficiently can be as important as levelling your character. Here are some strategies using vendor and auction house recipes that can significantly boost your gold reserves, whether you're on the fresh servers or in any version of Classic WoW.
Elixir of Shadow Power
Where to buy: This recipe can be purchased from Maria Lir in Stormwind or Alar Non in Undercity, both near the Alchemy trainers.
Cost: 1 gold from the vendor.
Resale value: Currently selling for around 7 gold on some servers.
Strategy: Buy this when available due to its limited stock (replenished every 30 minutes to an hour) and sell it immediately for a profit. Alternatively, hold onto it until later phases when demand from Shadow Priests and Warlocks may increase.
Shadow Oil
Vendors: Can be found at vendors in Duskwood, Thousand Needles (Horde), and a neutral vendor in the Barrens.
Cost: 15 silver from the vendors.
Resale value: Can fetch over 1 gold on the auction house.
Investment strategy: This recipe is essential for crafting items such as Dusky Boots and Guardian Armour, which will be in greater demand in Phases 2 and 3 due to the introduction of world bosses. Buying now and selling later could provide a significant return.
Greater Shadow Protection Potion Recipe
Acquisition: A random world drop, but can also be found on the auction house.
Current price: May be cheaper now, but expect demand to increase in later phases.
Gain: This potion will be in high demand with new content that requires more Shadow Resistance, making it a wise investment to buy low now and sell high later.
Mooncloth Pattern
Vendor: Kylanna Windwhisper in Winterspring.
Price: 2 gold, possibly less with faction discounts.
Resale: Sells on the auction house for 3 to 5 gold, with a 50% to 100% profit margin.
Strategy: Due to its location, many players choose to buy it on the auction house rather than fly to Winterspring, providing an easy profit opportunity.
Key Tips for Gold Making:
Layering strategy: Use server layering to buy multiple copies of limited stock items from vendors on different layers.
Timing: Understand the spikes in demand for certain items or recipes in later phases.
Auction house: Capitalise on player laziness or urgency by reselling items that require long journeys or are in high demand.

These strategies focus on exploiting the economic dynamics of classic WoW, specifically the scarcity and demand for certain crafting recipes. Starting with minimal capital, you can scale your gold-making operation significantly over time. Keep in mind that while these methods are effective on new servers, they can be adapted to any Classic WoW environment where similar economic principles apply.
