Epic Flying Costs and Requirements

Epic flying in TBC Anniversary requires the Epic Flight Master's License (5,000g) from trainers in Shadowmoon Valley or Shattrath, plus a 200g Netherwing or faction mount. 

In Phase 1, quest Hellfire for starter gold while attuning. pair with guild bank to pool alt-farmed mats; Inflation spikes license prices 10-20% from hype.

Quest Cleanup: The Easiest Gold in Phase 1

While many players obsess over secret exploits or specialized class farms like Stratholme, the Classic community consensus highlights a simpler path: Quests. In TBC Anniversary, consistency beats complexity.

The 5,000g Quest Clean-up

If you hit level 70 and still need your epic mount, stop grinding mobs and finish every quest in Netherstorm and Shadowmoon Valley. At the level cap, XP is converted into gold, yielding approximately 5,000g from these two zones alone.

• Phase 1: With limited dailies early, high-level zone quest completions (XP-to-gold at 70) are your primary gold mines.

• Consistency: You don't need a specific spec to do quests. This is the most stable gold flow for casual and hardcore players alike.

Save these zones until you hit 70. Doing them during the leveling process wastes the XP-to-gold conversion bonus, which is crucial for funding your 5,200g epic license especially for Phase 1 raid prep (Feb 19).

Professions: Tailoring and Gathering Dominate

Professions fuel 40-60% of gold paths. Tailoring shines via specialization cloths: craft two per cast after trainer unlock in Shattrath.

Warlocks/Priests spec Spellcloth—pairs with Shadow Moon Valley access. Vendoring quest greens adds 800-1,000g passively.

Herbalism/Mining: Netherbloom (Netherstorm) and Adamantite (Nagrand) yield 200g/hour pre-epic. Post-epic, track gas clouds for Motes → Primals (Primal Fire tops at 20-30g each in Phase 1).

Cloth saturation post-launch crashes prices 30%; Flip vendor patterns into bags (Netherweave: 20-30g profit each).

Auction House Flips: Recipes and Vendor Resells

Vendor trash becomes treasure. Buy low from Hellfire/Booty Bay/Silithus, relist at 5-20x markup. ToyHouse data: 900g+ from recipes alone in 30 days.

Alt camp vendors daily—list 48-hour auctions at TSM market value (no undercut on high-demand). Greens like Nexus Claw (Stormspire, 30g buy → 190g sell). Disenchant alts cover AH fees. In Phase 1 high-pop servers, layer hopping risky; Dungeon ore grind (Shattered Halls Key needed) for motes without flying.

Primal Farming and Leveling Gold Spots

Farm primals while questing/dungeoneering. Focus highest AH value (check /dump prices).

Play 1: Ground mount circuits—kill elementals, skin for Nether Dragonscales (slow-sell, high margin).

Play 2: Black Temple exteriors: Arcane Tomes + cloth = 300g/hour at 70.

Expert Insight: Risk—layer hopping fails in high-pop Anniversary servers; optimal: Dungeon ore grind (Shattered Halls) for motes without flying.

Max-Level Gold Boosters: Quests and More

Hit 70? Unfinished quests yield 4-5k gold bonus (no XP). Combine with heroics for badges → gear flips.

• Daily Routine: 500g from quests + 300g primals.

• Vendoring Hack: Soulbound epics from Classic → 50-100g each.

Vendor recipes (e.g., Wizard Oil Formula, 2g buy/50g sell). List at market, refresh daily. Mechanism: Low supply vendors reset; BoE ensures flips. Suggest: TSM groups for auto-posting.
