WoW Forever launch week: what to farm, craft and sell

The first days, in order

1. 1Take a gathering profession firstHerbs, ore and leather cost nothing to collect, and on day one every crafter needs them at once. Skinning or Mining pays from the first zone; pair it with the crafting profession you want later.
2. 2Sell raw materials while everyone is levelingEarly prices come from scarcity, not value. Low level cloth, ore and herbs sell fast in the first days and fall as the first wave of players moves past them, so list them rather than holding a stack.
3. 3Keep your first gold for bags and trainingBags and trainer costs return more than any auction flip in week one. Buy the bag slots before the rare that looks cheap.
4. 4Scan the house and watch the dealsThe AHledger addon scans when you open the auction house and AHledger sync shares it, so every launch house gets prices within hours. The deal scanner then lists anything far under its own median.
5. 5Craft what sells every day, not what sells oncePotions, bandages, food and bags sell to the same players week after week. Check the crafting margins on your house before buying reagents: a recipe with a fat margin pays only as fast as it sells.

What sells fastest right now

What pays this week

From the weekly gold meta, rewritten every Tuesday from the week's scans: Herbs rise, Leatherworking crafts lead.

• ◆Herbs are the gather to farm: typically +11% on the week on PvP Horde, led by Arthas' Tears +682% and Purple Lotus +492%.
• ◆Engineering parts are falling (typically -14%), so sell them as you get them.
• ◆What sells fastest on the auction house, estimated from consecutive scans: Medium Leather (about 11,000 sold a day at 2s), Bronze Bar (about 11,000 sold a day at 4s) and Copper Ore (about 9,500 sold a day at 3s); stock of these never sits for long.
• ◆Leatherworking pays best: 36 crafts that sell clear the cut on PvP Horde, led by Barbaric Bracers at about 24.83g; it leads on 2 of 4 houses.
