Outland's launch week ignites a gold rush where Epic Flying costs (5,000g) skyrocket. Aligning with high-efficiency tiered methods separates the wealthy elite from those struggling to pay for raid consumables. We've tracked Anniversary market trends—while classic methods work, smarter rotations like Bash'ir Landing can print thousands of gold in the first few days.

Prioritize your farm based on Launch GPH (Gold Per Hour), competition levels, and character requirements.
Tier | Method | Key Rewards | Req Level/Flying | Est. Launch GPH | Coords | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
S | Bash'ir Landing | Ethereum Prison Keys, Primal Mana | 70 / Epic Fly | 3,000 - 5,000g | Blade's Edge /way 46.2 83.0 | Fast Liquid Gold |
S | Tailoring Cooldowns | Spellcloth / Shadowcloth / Mooncloth | Tailoring 350+ | 2k - 4k (Daily) | Shattrath vendors | Alt Armies |
A | Mote Extractor | Primal Air / Mana / Water | Eng 305 / Epic Fly | 1,500 - 3,000g | Nagrand clouds | Solo Engineers |
A | Legion Hold | Fel Armaments, Marks of Sargeras | 68+ / Ground | 1,000 - 2,000g | Shadowmoon /way 31.8 31.6 | Aldor Rep & Gold |
B | Steamvault Stealth | Herbs, Ores, Chests | Rogue/Druid 70 | 500 - 1,000g | Coilfang Reservoir | No Competition |

Fly to Bash'ir Landing in Blade's Edge Mountains (/way 46.2 83.0).
Reach Honored with Consortium via Netherstorm quests to unlock "A Mission of Mercy" at Ultris in Manaforge (/way 29.2 40.8 Netherstorm).
AoE grind Ethereum mobs. Ethereum Prison Keys drop at ~1-2%, selling for 300-500g each to players chasing shoulder enchants.
Expect 8-12 keys and 4-6 Primal Mana per hour in early Phase 1.
Use a Frost Mage for huge pulls. If the area is camped, try layer-hopping or farming during off-peak hours to maintain that 5,000g+ potential.
Reach Tailoring 350 and complete the specialization quests in Shattrath.
Each spec allows a 4-day cooldown to craft 2 cloths. Spellstrike and Shadoweave prices peak during the first 14 days of Phase 1.
You can unlearn and respec for 150g to "chain" different cloth types if market prices shift.
An "Alt Army" of level 60+ tailors can generate 10,000g/week passively. Stockpile Fel Lotus early to ensure you never miss a cooldown cycle.
Requires Engineering 305 and the Zapthrottle Mote Extractor (Zangarmarsh quest).
Nagrand Windy Clouds (Primal Air) are the gold standard.
Use GatherMate2 to track spawn points. A 280% mount is essential to beat competition.
Nagrand: 10-16 Primals per hour (100-160 motes).
Netherstorm is high risk/high reward due to PvP, but circling Manaforges for Primal Mana can sustain 2,000g/hr if Nagrand is overcrowded.
Bash'ir Landing in Blade's Edge Mountains is currently the top S-Tier farm, yielding 3,000-5,000g per hour at launch. You must be Honored with the Consortium and complete the "A Mission of Mercy" pre-requisite for Ethereum Prison Keys to drop. These keys are highly sought after by players rushing reputation for shoulder enchants.
Once you hit 350 Tailoring, specialize in a specific cloth (Spellstrike, Shadoweave, or Primal Mooncloth). This allows you to craft two cloths instead of one every 4 days. Launch prices often hit 120g+ per cloth. Parking multiple alts at moonwells or manaforges provides massive passive income.
You need Engineering 305 and the "Zapthrottle" schematic from Zangarmarsh. The extractor auto-tracks gas clouds on your minimap. For maximum efficiency, Epic Flying is required to secure nodes in Nagrand (Air) and Netherstorm (Mana) before other players.
Legion Hold in Shadowmoon Valley (/way 32 32) is the premier spot. The demons here hyperspawn, dropping Fel Armaments (15g+ AH) and Marks of Sargeras. It is an A-Tier farm for AoE classes like Frost Mages and Seed-of-Corruption Warlocks.
Start at level 70 if you have Herbalism and Mining. You can ignore mobs and loot chests, Nightmare Vine, and Adamantite. This B-Tier farm is perfect for consistent 800g/hr income without worrying about open-world PvP or competition.
Primal Mana farming at the Crumbling Isle in Netherstorm (level 66+) is excellent. The Mana Elementals have high respawn rates and drop motes that sell instantly. This allows you to reach level 70 while banking several thousand gold for your mount.
This Tier List is your roadmap to funding your Outland journey. Whether you prefer the S-Tier intensity of Bash'ir Landing or the passive gains of Tailoring, Phase 1 is the most profitable time in TBC.
