How do you make gold at level 30 to 40 in WoW Forever?

Level 30 to 40 is the mount stretch: the single largest purchase before endgame, and the reason to sell everything that is not nailed down. Materials between 150 and 200 skill sell steadily to crafters pushing through the slowest part of every profession. Green gear at your level sells to people levelling alts; blue gear from dungeons sells to everyone, and both should be listed against the median. Do not craft your own gear to save gold; the reagents sell for more than the finished item saves you.

Which recipes pay at level 30 to 40?

The ones a character in this band can learn, skill 150 to 200, ranked above by what they earn at the current medians on Normal Horde: 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 30 to 40 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

The mount stretch. Between 30 and 40 the goal is one number, and everything you gather, craft or loot is a share of it. Your skills pass 150 and enter the slowest part of every profession, which means the materials between 150 and 200 skill sell steadily to crafters grinding through it.

Dungeons at this level drop blue gear that sells to everyone, not just to levellers, and the recipes that drop in them are worth checking against the recipe pages before you list them. Some are worth more than anything else in the run.

What to sell

Materials at 150 to 200 skill. Steady sellers, because every crafter needs more of them than the tier gives.
Green gear at your level. It sells to people levelling alts. Not for much, but for more than a vendor pays.
Dungeon blues and recipes. At the median. A blue that does not sell in three days is priced wrong, not unwanted.

What to skip

Crafting your own gear to save gold. The reagents sell for more than the finished piece saves you, and the piece is outgrown before the reagents would have been. Skip buying anything from the house that is not on the deals block, and skip the temptation to hold stacks for a better price: the mount is worth more to you now than a stack is worth next week.

If you are short at 40, sell the materials your own profession would use. Buying them back later costs more than the mount costs you now in lost farming speed.

When to move on

With the mount bought, level 40 to 50 is where your hourly income should double, and where you start counting your time.
