This is one of the most powerful and underrated features Blizzard has given us. One of the most frustrating things about leveling an alt is having to do all the repeat chain and storyline quests.

My alt, a level 104 Shaman, doesn't get much play time because I'm focusing so much attention on my main. I just happened to look at WoW Companion one day and it said "Level 105 Shaman"..! Wait, 105?! I can essentially get my Shaman to level 110 without ever actually playing him!

With the bonus loot, player experience missions have a chance to reward even more bonus experience! At level 110, the gold reward missions unlock (ranging from around 120 - 300 gold). Now imagine how much gold you could bring in with all level 110 characters completing gold missions, while only having to play one of them... let's look at the number:

Avg. Reward Per Mission: 150g
Total Number of Characters Per Realm: 11
Avg. Time of Each Mission: 8hr
Avg. Gold Per Day: 1,650g
Avg. Gold Per Week: 11,550g
Avg. Gold Per Month: 46,200g (enough to buy WoW token)
Time Till First 1,000,000g: 21 Months

Now you may be thinking 21 months is a long time, but you have to remember that's how long it would take if you only used the WoW Companion app (which I consider a Passive income). And also keep in mind this method does take some investment on your part (getting alts to level 100, artifact weapons and followers).

My profits from the past 3 days, and as you can see, Starlight Rose is my most profitable resource. Unfortunately, the value of Starlight Rose (and all other resources) are going to drop dramatically once patch 7.1 is released. Take advantage of the WoW economy now!

So I wanted to do a little experiment with my sales. I first put a full stack of 200 Starlight Rose on the Action House, which went for about 45k gold. Although it did eventually sell, it sat for nearly 2 days. And I had to re-post it due to undercuts.

The second time I posted 200 Starlight Rose, I did it in stacks of 20. And they all sold with minutes! So I even waited till the next day, and put up another full stack of 200. Same results as before; it sat on the Auction House for quite a bit of time. But when I re-posted it in stacks of 20, it sold in minutes!

After the profits from the past 3 days, this is what the guild vault looks like. My goal is to hit the 500k mark by this weekend.

So far, I'm loving the content all throughout the Broken Isles. And I've been able to get my hands on some awesome new toys!

This awesome artifact is called the Underlight Angler. Most of what you need can be bought from the Auction House, which are the lures to catch the rare fish. And since supplies are so high, the prices are extremely low and should continue to fall. The only one that has to be caught, is the Stunned, Angry Shark, which also has a one minute expiration. Took me two days of fishing to catch this one!

With my new fishing pole, I put my patience and skills to the test. Fishing for Drowned Mana can be a bit frustrating, unless you use a Mark of Aquaos. I'd also recommend que'ing up for a fishing "raid", makes the grind go by so much faster. My new mount doesn't seem too happy (probably because the pond is so small), but I couldn't be more ecstatic!!!

While digging around in the dirt, I got this cool little device. It's called a Starlight Beacon, which turns you into a celestial and allows you to fly (as long as you stay within the starlight)!

From the tops of the many mountainous areas, I enjoyed some recreational hang gliding with my new Rockfeather Skyhorn Kite. There's four pieces to this kite that must be collected and assembled, and it's definitely worth the effort.

So here's a snapshot of my most recent earnings. And at this point in Legion, this is what I can expect for at least the next 1 - 2 weeks.

Real time hourly earnings. Resources from gathering professions are still selling very well at this point as everyone is gearing up and preparing their mains and alts for raids.

At the launch of Legion, Obliterum was the number one selling resource. Some folks were bringing in millions and millions of gold in just a matter of days. Now the craze is over and the economy has somewhat stabilized. On my realm (Khadgar), Obliterum goes for a little under 5k each. Competition and an overstock in the Auction House, plus the release of raids has made this item no longer worth farming for major profits.

Lessons Learned
     - Stay away from "Get Rich Quick" claims. I followed some advice on some Auction House purchases, and ended up losing a lot of the gold. You'll find these videos all over YouTube, just make sure you do your research before jumping on the band wagon.

My current total amount of gold (after some bad Auction House investments).

So many people have been known to hit gold cap in the game, which I have not personally seen myself. And with so many gold retailers, all it takes is a few (hundred) dollars and you can be a millionaire yourself. I'm totally against buying gold by the way, so I'm going to do a case study: Can a casual player legitimately hit gold cap?
