Gold Making Changes in Cataclysm

What Gold
Making Changes Can We Look Forward to in Cataclysm?

Already
people are starting to ask repeatedly what kind of changes they can
expect when the Cataclysm expansion goes live at the end of the year.
More specifically, they want to know what kind of gold they can make
when it goes up. When Wrath was announced and the pre-expansion 3.0
patch was released, players were able to make huge piles of gold by
farming and selling herbs for inscription. This time around, what will
the big gold maker be?

The Professions

As of right
now, we don’t know for sure what the gold story will be with the
professions. There is a new secondary profession coming in that will
allow players to gather artifacts and unlock aspects of the Path of the
Titans. The artifacts that are tradable will be highly valuable, but
whether those will be available before the expansion goes live is still
unknown – conventional wisdom says no.

The other things you’ll want to look
for are new herbs and ores, which are always highly valuable. In Wrath,
anyone that levelled up a bit faster than their friends was able to load
up on herbs above Goldclover and Titanium and sell it for as much as 10
times what it would eventually settle down at. All ores and herbs spike
early on, but you’ll need to get to these spots first so that you can
farm it before the rush of new players comes in and makes it hard to
farm.

There
is also rumbling of revamped old world ore nodes to include some new
ones or just richer versions of old ones. Even without new old world
ores, remember that those old ores are still quite valuable in some
cases.

Other
Gold Opportunities

In general, you’ll find that Cataclysm
has a ton of potential gold making options when it goes live later this
year. However, you’re going to need to spend a lot of time reading the
patch notes, preparing a strategy and checking to see what the game has
added and what it has deleted. Most of all, don’t stock up on Wrath
items anytime within a month of the new patch or expansion. It will only
result in old stuff you can’t use anymore.
