Best ways to make gold in SOD Phase 7

Gold is essential in World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery, whether you’re gearing up, buying consumables, or saving for mounts. Here are some of the best gold-making methods, ranging from passive income to AFK crafting and dual-account strategies.

Cooldown Crafting – Passive Gold Every Day

One of the easiest ways to make gold is through cooldown crafting. These crafts have time restrictions, but they require little effort and can generate consistent profit.

Mooncloth Tailoring

• Converts Felcloth into Mooncloth.
• At max Tailoring (300), you can craft between three to five Mooncloth per cooldown.
• Mooncloth is always in demand, making it a stable source of gold.

Alchemy Transmutes

• Transmute: Arcanite is a classic way to turn Arcane Crystals into Arcanite Bars.
• Prices fluctuate, so monitor the market before investing.
• Arcane Crystals are currently expensive due to Phase 7 tier set crafting.

Leatherworking – Salt Shaker Crafting

• Salt Shaker transforms Deep Rock Salt into Refined Deep Rock Salt.
• Profits can reach 250 gold per use, making it one of the best cooldown crafts.
• Many players are now leveling Leatherworking to capitalize on this method, increasing leather prices.

If you have multiple alts, consider leveling professions on them to maximize daily cooldown usage.

AFK Alchemy – Make Gold While Doing Nothing

If you’re looking for a truly effortless way to make gold, AFK crafting with Alchemy is one of the best options. Two of the best crafts are Stonescale Oil and Fire Oil.

Stonescale Oil

• Requires Stonescale Eel, which is farmed by fishers or bought from the Auction House.
• Profits around 7 silver per craft.
• Can craft 1,200 per hour, generating about 88 gold per hour.

Fire Oil – Higher Profit Potential

• Made using Firefin Snapper and Lead Vials.
• TSM (TradeSkillMaster) often miscalculates profits by overpricing Lead Vials, which actually cost just 4 copper from vendors.
• Once adjusted, profits can be 54 silver per craft, resulting in up to 388 gold per hour.

How to Optimize AFK Crafting

1. Fill your inventory with Firefin Snappers and Lead Vials.
2. Start crafting and let it run.
3. Go AFK and do something else—watch Netflix, do chores, or even play another game.

AFK crafting is perfect for players who don’t have time to farm actively but still want to generate a steady stream of gold.

Dual-Account Gold Farming – Maximize Efficiency

If you have access to a second WoW account, you can take gold farming to the next level by combining AFK crafting with active farming.

How to Set It Up

• Use Account #1 for active farming.
• Use Account #2 for AFK Alchemy crafting in the background.

Active Gold Farming – Dungeon Runs for Tarnished Undermine Seals

• Running dungeons rewards Tarnished Undermine Seals, which can be exchanged for Wartorn Undermine Supply Crates.
• These crates contain valuable materials like:
  • Devilsaur Leather
  • Dreamfoil
  • Mountain Silversage
  • Stonescale Eel
• Selling these materials on the Auction House generates additional gold while your second account passively crafts.

By using two accounts, you can make hundreds of gold per hour with almost no extra effort.

If you’re looking to make gold in Season of Discovery, these methods offer a mix of passive income, AFK crafting, and active farming. Whether you’re using cooldown crafts, setting up AFK Alchemy, or running dungeons for materials, there’s a strategy that fits every playstyle.
