How to make gold at level 20 to 30

Where it comes from

  • Vendors sell it for 2g 28s 14c and buy it back for 45s 62c. That is the ceiling for an auction price while vendors stock it.
  • Disenchants into Large Glimmering Shard, worth about 1g 95s on PvP Horde US today. Odds below.

Disenchants into

Expected value 1g 95s per disenchant at PvP Horde US medians. More than the 45s 62c a vendor pays for it.

Vanilla disenchant tables by quality and item level; the same estimate the addon shows in tooltips.
