DO THIS FOR 60 MINUTES
why?
Your top row for 60 minutes under your setup and starting cost, ranked on your recorded sessions where you have them and on your typed numbers where you do not. No gold-per-hour figure on this page comes from anywhere but you.

why?
Travel and posting minutes come off every session first, so a short session keeps less of each hour. The minutes are yours, typed per row.

Starting cost
why?
Our cut-off, not a game rule: zero = no gold to start, low = under 10,000 gold, capital = anything above. The gold a row needs is the number you type on it.
◎ Explain this choice simply

Plain words: type one route — how long a run takes and what it brings — and this explains the pick.

Three routes compared (60 minutes)

Which markets are crowded

why?
Herbs and ore are commodities: one market per region since 9.2.7 (Blizzard), so a realm does not change these readings.

On the Auction House now: item 236761 — 20 for 1.44 g each (cheapest 1.22), 139,435 listed · item 236767 — 20 for 2.40 g each (cheapest 2.40), 134,297 listed.

Blizzard’s snapshot gives today. Type what you saw listed a week ago — quantity and price — and the label and its three reasons appear here; from our next read they fill in by themselves.

Our rule, not a game fact — from two readings you took, never one listing:

Crowded:
listed quantity up more than 25% in 7 days while the price fell
Falling:
price down 3% or more in 7 days
Undersupplied:
listed quantity down more than 15% while the price rose
Stable:
none of the above

Player report, 29 Mar 2026 — an anecdote, not data: In Season 1 one player wrote that guides promised 25,000–100,000 gold an hour from herbs and ore, that they made about 10,000–15,000, and that many players on their server farmed the same thing. forum thread

Bought with gold on the Auction House, a token redeems for 30 days of game time (Blizzard) — “per day” is that price ÷ 30. Blizzard sets the price; a bought token is soulbound (Warcraft Wiki).

Is today inflated? Blizzard’s API gives the current price only, so the line is our own: every read we take is kept in the token price history — never borrowed from a third party.

Each row is one read of Blizzard’s token price that we took and kept — 2 so far. “Change” is the newest read against the previous read of the same region. Nothing is borrowed from a third-party tracker, so the line is only as long as our own reads. A token buys 30 days of game time.

Where sources disagree

How much gold does an hour of herbs and ore make?

None of them measured a route you can repeat, and all date from Season 1 prices. This page uses none — the rate is yours; the price is Blizzard’s Auction House snapshot.

How many Sparks can you hold?

  • Icy Veins (14 Aug 2026): the Spark of Tides cap rises from 2 to 4 on 18 August.
  • Blizzard hotfix (18 Aug 2026): the base cap of Tidal Spark Dust is raised to 3 (was 1).

They may count different things (Sparks against Spark Dust). Neither cap is printed here; one Spark a week is.

Sites that sell gold or accounts print higher figures still; this page neither uses nor links them.

WoW gold this season — quick answers

How much gold is a WoW Token right now?

US 288,960 · EU 397,730 · KR 321,153 · TW 667,572 gold (Blizzard’s Game Data API, updated 9 Oct 17:49 UTC). Blizzard sets the price; gold buys one on the Auction House for 30 days of game time. The price moves through the day; this is Blizzard’s figure at that time, not a live feed.

Is the WoW Token worth it?

That is your call — here is the arithmetic. A token costs $20 in the US Shop (Blizzard; Warcraft Wiki still lists $20) and sold for 288,960 gold in our US read of 9 Oct 2026 — about 14,448 gold a dollar. Bought with gold, it is 30 days of game time: compare its price with your own gold per hour in the calculator above.

How much does the Auction House take?

Auction House cut: 5% of the sale price. Deposit: 15% / 30% / 60% of the vendor price for a 12h / 24h / 48h listing. Deposit on sale vs expiry: Returned when the item sells; kept by the house if the listing expires.

Are herb and ore prices the same on every realm?

Commodities: Herbs, ore, gems and flasks share one market per region (since 9.2.7). Non-commodities: Armor and weapons are still bought and sold per realm.

What is the gold cap in WoW Midnight?

Gold cap: 9,999,999 gold per character (since 7.0.3).

What changes for crafters in 12.1.5?

13 Oct 2026: 12.1.5 goes live. 20 Oct 2026: Ascendant Venomstones: 10 raise a fully upgraded Hero or Myth, or a max-quality Tidal Crafted weapon, trinket or necklace. 20 Oct 2026: The crest cap is lifted. Spark of Tides: 1 a week, 2 (4 for a two-handed weapon) per craft, binds when picked up, season 2 only.

Can I spend gold on bonus rolls this season?

One extra Nebulous Voidcore a week from Orin Straylight — paid in gold, Voidlight Marl or Veteran Mistcrests (from the week of 6 Oct 2026). Blizzard’s notes name no gold amount, so this page prints none.

No gold-per-hour is printed here that you did not type — no source gives one. Your numbers stay in this browser. Commodities trade region-wide; armor and weapons per realm. No ads, no affiliate links, no account connection, no real-money trading.
