How to make gold at level 1 to 10

Where it comes from

  • Forever lists no vendor or recipe for it. If it can be traded at all, it reaches the auction house as a drop or a gathered material.
  • It binds when equipped: tradeable until someone wears it, so each one sells once.
  • Disenchants into Small Radiant Shard, worth about 4g 31s 97c on Normal Alliance US today. Odds below.

Disenchants into

Expected value 4g 31s 97c per disenchant at Normal Alliance US medians.

Selling the materials on: Small Radiant Shard about 2 a day, listings clear in about 39 days. Expect to wait about 39 days for the Small Radiant Shard to move.

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