Dual Gathering in The War Within - Wowhead Economy Weekly Wrap-Up 339
Hello! Welcome to the 339th edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up!
This week we talk all about Dual Gathering in The War Within and some great fixes to profession levelling. We also have a deep dive into Transmog and why it's seeing a renewed interest and we show you how to trade cross realm using your Warbank!
My name is Samadan and I'll be your guide through the World of Gold Making!
Early Dual Gathering
A strong contender for gold making, especially early on in The War Within is Dual Gathering (namely Mining and Herbalism). The barrier to entry is relatively easy and the Region Wide Auction House means sales will be quick, but also rapidly responding to supply and demand. Likely to be high at first and then crash hard depending on how many get involved and get efficient.
SoulSoBreezy has a great video going through initial builds and thoughts on all 3 gathering professions..
By all accounts, it looks like Blizzard have made a concerted effort to spread the Ranks further apart to encourage larger price differences between ranks and make refining worthwhile..
FWIW I spent an hour on my dual gatherer tonight just to see what an hour of herbing and mining would give me. This is by no means an extensive and deep delve into the entire world of Khaz Algar because there are 4 zones that provide different nodes for mining and herbing. For example, there is no Aqirite nodes to be found on the Isle of Dorn, where I spent my full hour gathering.
I should mention that my gatherer is a Night Elf Druid, so I had flying for herbing already at default when I began my testing when the beta came out on June 5th. It took me until now to almost fully spec out my druid.
Skills are both 100 for mining and herbing.
- Mining KP's — Fully maxed for Plethora of Ore = 185; Fully Maxed for Mining Fundamentals = 110; Mastering the Mysterious = 75 (about half way through the tree)
- Herbalism KP's — Fully maxed for Bountiful Harvests = 240; Fully Maxed for Botany = 120;
