Please bear in mind there have been many changes since Legion, importantly, the level and ilvl squish. The images will ultimately prove that this is still a viable/profitable market. I will add images later to show the sales I’ve made this fortnight.

Ideally, the price range I’m looking at is 2500g per item, and I look to sell at 10k plus. Only invest in the gold you’re willing to lose. Here’s a detailed guide by Wowhead explaining the secondary stat diminishing returns.īuy low, sell high is our aim here. A great example of this was the Freehold level boosting! Other limitations included party members no longer gaining experience with characters that lock their experience. Players were exploiting their stats to help pull the whole instance and AOE the mobs, thus clearing content quickly. The developers introduced this because of the level-boosting in Battle for Azeroth and potential gearing issues when seeking your best in slot item(s). The stat diminishing return meant stacking a specific secondary stat would start losing a lot of its benefit when you start reaching a certain percentage. Shadowlands introduced a level and ilvl squish (which I’ll cover later), zone scaling, and a secondary stat diminishing return. Sadly, there is a cap at 49% speed, as illustrated by /AGunWithLegs at Reddit. The more Speed items you had equipped, the greater the benefit. The speed stat gave the wearer increased speed, meaning farming old dungeons and raids was more efficient. Later in the expansion of Battle for Azeroth, items with the territory stat: Speed became desirable.

In Legion and Battle for Azeroth, the territory stat: Leech (plus socket) was very beneficial and demanded a high value. Although the profit margins aren’t as significant as before, there’s still value in the market. Legion BoEs in Shadowlands:Įven today, during Shadowlands, I’m still successfully flipping Legion BoEs on all the realms I play on. In 2017 I finally surpassed the 100m gold mark, and a great deal of that achievement was down to farming and flipping Legion BoEs. On the first week of the release of Legion, I looted an a level 101, ilvl 850 ring, which I sold for 500k gold. You may recall one of my blogs back in 2016/17 regarding flipping Legion BoEs (aka Legion 101 BoEs) and the outrageous profit margins that were achievable.
