Gold Making Strategies with the 3.3.3 Patch

With the 3.3.3 patch only a short while away, there is quite a bit of discussion going on about the gold making changes that we’ve all seen coming in this patch. With quite a few nerfs and changes to the way old staples are going to work, the gold farming methods for thousands are likely to change overnight when it goes live.

The Orbs

First up – there are orbs. Recipes using Runed Orbs are being reduced in price significantly for many players, minimizing the farming potential of Ulduar. Additionally, Frozen Orbs are going to be made tradeable in Dalaran to an NPC named Frozo. You’ll be able to get all sorts of fun stuff like eternals and Frost Lotuses. This will not only make Frozen Orbs valuable for a short while, it will make those traded goods less valuable.

The Titansteel

This is the big one. Titansteel is having the cooldown removed – something we’d expect for the end of the expansion’s life span. This is big news for a few reasons. First off, it’s going to drive the price of titansteel way down. With Titanium bar cooldowns lifted a while back, there is now nothing stopping anyone from making big piles of this stuff. So, expect a sharp drop in price. On the other hand, expect prices for eternals and saronite – the ingredients used to make titansteel to go up sharply. A LOT of people who couldn’t previously afford it will be interested in buying as much titansteel gear and items as possible.

As with any patch, the gold making changes are numerous. Be sure to spend some time developing strategies that will allow you to take full advantage of these changes and you’ll be able to make a nice little fortune when the patch goes live later this month.
