Gold-Making Tips
- Auction House. Sell gathered materials, transmog, and pets on the Auction House. Resources from the current expansion are always in demand.
- Emissaries and world quests. Completing emissary and world quests provides a steady income of hundreds of gold daily.
- Old raids. Soloing raids from previous expansions yields several thousand gold per raid from selling loot to vendors.
- Professions. Gathering and crafting are among the most reliable ways to earn. Herbalism, mining, and skinning let you sell materials on the Auction House.
- WoW Token. If you don't want to spend time farming, you can buy a WoW Token with real money and sell it on the Auction House for gold.
Known Quirks
- The mount is strictly a ground mount — it does not fly.
- When moving over stairs and sloped surfaces, the mount model may look unnatural: the frog does not tilt with the terrain but stays upright.
- On stairs you may hear an amplified stomping sound — this is a known visual and audio quirk of the model.
- The mount has a unique idle animation: the frog croaks three times, then catches an imaginary fly with its tongue. There may be a slight delay between pressing the animation button and its playback.
