How do you make gold at level 20 to 30 in WoW Forever?

By level 20 to 30 the mid-tier materials become the busiest trade on the house, because every profession needs them to pass 150 skill. Recipes that pay here are the ones whose result is consumed: potions, food, and the bags and pouches that every alt buys. A dungeon run at this level yields more sellable drops per hour than open-world farming, and the blue drops are worth listing rather than vendoring. The mount at level 40 is the goal; everything sold from here should be counted toward it.

Which recipes pay at level 20 to 30?

The ones a character in this band can learn, skill 100 to 150, ranked above by what they earn at the current medians on Normal Alliance: result price less the auction house cut, less every reagent at its median. A recipe with an unpriced reagent is not ranked, so a margin is never overstated.

What should a level 20 to 30 character sell?

The materials and drops of the zones for this level, priced above from the latest scan: what the market pays per unit and per stack, and which market pays most. Consumed goods sell again next week; a piece of gear sells once, so the list favours what gets used up.

What you can reach

Between 20 and 30 your skills pass 100 and the mid-tier materials become the busiest trade on the house: every profession needs them to pass 150, and 150 is where most levelling crafters stall. A gatherer at this level sells into that stall every day.

This is also the first band where a dungeon run beats open-world farming for sellable drops per hour. The blues that drop there are worth listing, not vendoring, and so are the recipes, which are often worth more than the gear.

What to sell

Mid-tier materials. Full stacks, at the median, every session.
Consumables at 100 to 150 skill. Potions, food and the bags and pouches every alt buys. The recipes block ranks them by margin on your market.
Dungeon blues and recipes. Listed against the median rather than against the one other copy on the board.

What to skip

Anything that is not moving you toward the mount. The mount at 40 is the largest purchase before endgame, and it doubles your farming speed for the rest of the game, so every silver counts toward it. Skip greens for your own character unless they are cheap on the deals block; you will replace them in a level or two either way.

The cheap-right-now block lists items at your level sitting well under their 30 day median on this market. That is where to buy the one upgrade you do need.

When to move on

When your skills pass 150 you are in level 30 to 40, the mount stretch. Arrive with your bags empty and your listings up.
