Across the 11 characters I've copied over, none of them had a gold mission available on beta (yet).I've had 2 Missions that award toys ( Win the Crowd and Glittering Treasure) show up on beta, that I hadn't seen on live.BoS Missions are as costly on beta as they are on live. Legion Artifact Power Items, including those from OH Missions, are now grey items that can be sold for a low amount of gold.Argus WQ unlocks seem bugged on copied characters on beta (Korkrun has fewer and Mac'Aree has no WQs available).Legion WQs still offer the usual amount of OR.However from the latest beta builds /u/wronnyd shared some initial findings after using character copy. So far, we're still not 100% sure, things can still change.
There has also been rife speculation, worries, hopes and bets on whether or not Кровь Саргераса would become BoE or BoA, plus whether gold missions would remain in the class order halls. This is great news for farmers on previously designated PvP servers! Everyone will have equal access to the world PvP system if they desire.
In patch 8.0 we'll see only two server-types in the realm selection list, normal and RP. We will see all the profession system changes, along with the enabling of War Mode which will retire the idea of PvP-specific servers. The 8.0 patch certainly is of mighty interest though, as we get first glimpse of what is to come for Legion gold-making in Battle for Azeroth. PTR was fired up again immediately after the developer Q&A with Game Director Ion Hazzikostas and Community Manager Lore, however sadly there was nothing of interest in that once again for goblins and gold-makers. This week the Public Test Realms were brought back up and they feature the 8.0 Battle for Azeroth pre-patch. As the saying goes, “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. I will be looking at the bigger picture, the decision making and thought processes in being a gold maker – rather than a step by step instructional list. The format will not be that of a traditional guide, but links to further reading with commentary and opinions of my own. Some that you might have missed as a veteran gold maker, or you might be interested in checking out for the first time as a new or aspiring ‘goblin’. I hope to cover and showcase some of the interesting topics, discussions, content and guides that have been going on over the last week in the gold making community.
