WoW Forever Gold at Launch: The Floor Rule That Stops You Losing Money

Launch-week gold comes from arbitrage, not grinding: the vendor price is your floor, and you only craft when the auction beats it. This video gives you the rule, the numbers behind it, and two Legacy Points hiding in the same plan. Which launch-week route are you taking: the bank alt, the gatherer, or the crates? Tell me in the comments 👇 0:00 The one rule for launch week gold 0:44 The Floor Rule: 3 prices before you craft 2:08 Why you need a bank alt 2:53 Cloth to Bolt to Red Linen Bag: the numbers 4:26 Nobody knows launch prices: scan first 5:29 2 Legacy Points hidden in the plan 6:52 Crate hand-ins: Alliance and Horde camps 8:09 What players say vs what you can check 9:44 Which launch week route fits you THE FLOOR RULE Before you craft or sell anything, read three prices: the vendor floor (on every tooltip), the auction price (your price addon), and what the inputs cost you. Craft only when the auction beats the inputs plus the floor you could have taken instead. THE NUMBERS (Wowhead tooltips, vendor sell prices) Linen Cloth 13c · Bolt of Linen Cloth (2 cloth) 40c · Fine Thread 25c · Red Dye 12c Red Linen Bag recipe: 4 Bolts + 1 Fine Thread + 1 Red Dye = 197c in; the 8 slot bag sells to a vendor for 2s 50c, so the floor margin is 53c per craft, before the auction. Strange Dust, Greater Astral Essence, Large Glimmering Shard: 1c each at a vendor (no floor). NOBODY KNOWS LAUNCH PRICES I haven't tested any of this on a live auction house, and nobody has yet. Treat every price as something to look up. LEGACY POINTS Wowhead's Legacy page lists a Journeyman challenge (150 skill, first time) for Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking and Tailoring: 1 point each. Skinning, Mining and Herbalism are not on the list. 16 points can be spent at launch. CRATE HAND-INS Alliance: Azeroth Commerce Authority, Three Corners, Redridge Mountains (10.5, 72.7). Horde: Durotar Supply and Logistics, outside Crossroads in The Barrens (42, 34). Wowhead wrote the guide during the beta, so check the camp in game. WHAT PLAYERS SAY (player reports, not confirmed) One creator who played the beta says pristine leather and frilled lichen couldn't be gathered past level 25. Creators point to Auctionator; a Forever version is unconfirmed. 📚 Sources Wowhead Forever: Legacy System Overview https://www.wowhead.com/forever/guide...
