Each World of Warcraft version has its best gold-making method, and Season of Discovery is no different. Like always, it all comes down to the auction house, but what exactly should you sell to make some serious gold in SoD?

Unlike WoW Classic, SoD has a new mechanic that all players need. So, just like any respectable WoW profiteer, you will jump head-first into this new trend and make as much dough as possible, and it won’t even take too much hard work.
What all players need to get gold in WoW Classic SoD
When it comes to WoW Classic SoD, and only in SoD, all players need to gain a reputation with a new faction. All Alliance players need a reputation with the Azeroth Commerce Authority, and all Horde players need a reputation with the Durotar Supply and Logistics. Why do all players need this? Each character needs to get Honored with these guys to unlock a rune engraving for their class. So, yes, everyone will need these.
Now, to get reputation with these guys, players need to turn in Waylaid Supply Boxes and Supply Shipment Boxes to their supply officers in major cities. The latter of the two will be how you make gold in SoD. See, the latter award more reputation points with the Azeroth Commerce Authority and the Durotar Supply and Logistics, so players will need gathered and crafted items to maximize their reputation gain. This is where you come in.
You won’t be able to sell these supply boxes, but you can sell items needed to turn Waylaid Supply Boxes into Supply Shipment Boxes.
Before you start making gold in WoW Classic SoD
To begin, I highly recommend you start leveling a gathering and crafting profession. So, pick two professions that go well together. Here are a few good combos:
- Mining and Blacksmithing
- Mining and Engineering
- Herbalism and Alchemy
- Skinning and Leatherworking
- Enchanting and Tailoring
You can, of course, make your own combinations, but most players choose one of the above ones. Some like to use two crafting professions but then have to buy items from the Auction House, which can be expensive, while others pick two gathering professions and just sell raw ingredients, which is also an okay option.
Focus on raising your profession levels first and foremost. I also recommend you work towards your own reputation with the Azeroth Commerce Authority or Durotar Supply and Logistics while focusing on this.
You can also level up cooking, fishing, and even first aid because those could also come in handy, especially cooking.
Once you’ve settled on your two main professions, we can move on to making money.
How to get gold in WoW Classic SoD
Essentially, you need to see what’s required for the Waylaid Supply and Shipment Supply boxes. So, depending on your profession, you can sell different things that are in demand. Fortunately, we know what each waylaid supply box needs, so I can tell you what each profession should gather.
| Miner | Copper Bars, Rough Stone, Bronze Bars, and Silver Bars |

In my experience, Cooking is the most profitable profession. Many players don’t like Cooking in WoW because they think it’s boring, and they just buy cooked food. You’ll still see many players sell raw cooking ingredients, but barely anyone is going to take the time to cook them properly. It’s scary how similar this is to real life, huh? So take advantage of this, start selling nice cooked items on the list, and you’ll be rolling in gold.
