Do you need quick ways to get gold in WoW Classic Season of Discovery? We have some interesting ways to make money while (Away From Keyboard) AFK. You will be able to grow your pile while multitasking at work, watching TV series or just drinking coffee. So let's get to these profitable AFK gold making methods!

• Method 1. Leatherworking Craft 
• Method 2 Engineering & Smelting
• Method 3. Alchemy & Elixirs
• Bonus Method: The Silk Cloth Surge
• Final Thoughts & Outro

↖ Method 1. Leatherworking Craft 

First up on the list is The Leatherworking Craft and Vend Strategy. Keep an eye on thick leather prices as they fluctuate in the market aiming at anything below 1.2 gold per stack so you can buy it cheaply when you see it available. When you have bought leather at a good bargain make Nightscape Headbands and Tunics.

• Nightscape Headband: Best if disenchanted into materials like Vision Dust, Lesser Nether Essence, and sometimes Small Radiant Shard.
• Nightscape Tunic: A great item which can be sold directly to vendors particularly if you've got city rep discounts and are ranked Sergeant for silk & thread costs.

Depending on what you paid for your leather, profits could range from 5g 82s up to 14g 22s per hour. This is especially lucrative on servers overrun with bots and players driving down leather prices.

↖ Method 2 Engineering & Smelting

Next up is the Iron Grenade Gambit; it combines both mining and engineering together. Your mission here is to smelt iron then craft Heavy Blasting Powder before finally selling Iron Grenades. With iron ore plummeting due to hyperspawn rates and multi-layering also causing heavy stone prices to nosedive this method is perfect.

Here's how:

• Craft Cost: Aim for less than 15 silver per grenade by securing cheap materials.
• Profit Margin: Each grenade sells for 15 silver, so if you can source the materials right it will bring about a profit of 5 silver per grenade.

By bulk crafting during peak auction house times, you could make a neat 20 gold from 400 crafts in roughly an hour. Always do math and don’t overpay for mats!

↖ Method 3. Alchemy & Elixirs

The third method is Potion Profiteering with Alchemy. Just after phase two was released and more people started needing consumables, crafting elixirs has become very profitable. Think of recipes that are either less known or take higher reputations to get and which will give you advantage over the market.

For instance:

• Mighty Troll's Blood Potion: This one is made from cheap materials like Liferoot and Bruiseweed, making it pay double costs each time.
• Elixir of Greater Defense: Spend just a little bit on Goldthorn plus Wild Steelbloom and have steady profits with every elixir sold.

Remember that market conditions vary per server; thus researching is essential. Use TSM or Aux addons to simplify your AH life.

↖ Bonus Method: The Silk Cloth Surge

Finally, there is a Silk Cloth Surge to consider as well. A pack of silk cloth can be bought at a price below 40 silver and turned into Heavy Silk Bandages which can then go for up to 80 silver per stack. This is a very simple task that one can do while AFK and it will bring you approximately 3 gold in an hour – ideal for people who want to spend less time achieving more.

↖ Final Thoughts & Outro

Well, those would be three AFK farming tactics along with an added tip to make your financial status better in Classic WoW's Season of Discovery. Do you work from home and are looking for side income? Or maybe you just need some leisure ways to get SoD gold, these options will suit you.
