How to spend my gold as f2p?

Heirloom upgrades
Buy the 18 slots bags as placeholders if you need them, at 200 gold each it makes for 2420 gold spent but on decked out toon it's mostly useless
Buy https://www.wowhead.com/item=44574/skin-of-mulgore-firewater and get hella drunk (strongly advised)
Buy elixirs of languages to stock gold
There is a few Tmogs buyable from Wrath, Cata and MoP with gold, some pieces cost 100-300 gold
Don't bother and stay at 1000 gold (honestly might as well buy elixirs of languages)

Buy threads from the latest addition. With 1000, save 333 gold. There are two 1k recipes in the Draenor garrison. Later they are also sold for 1 thousand. Buy ingredients for engineering, such as Weapon Boots (Legion). Buy pets, some are expensive at the auction, but they can be sold by another character. And everything else depends on your needs. Over a long period of time, you can accumulate a very significant amount, especially if you play with a large number of characters.

I hit the gold cap of 1000 gold pretty often and i dont really know how to spend it anymore.

Anyone has any suggestions?

I buy and stack Curing Salt in my Reagent bank. Stacks to 1k I think.

If you have the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth mount, you can buy this directly, whenever!

This is a decent way to always have a bunch of gold on demand!

Buy orboreal shards, they can stack in reagent bag, can hold the highest ammount of gold.

If you plan to sub one day, I agree with Blue, Orboreal Shards are a good way to stack gold. As a F2P player you can earn Ascended Rep through Shadowlands dungeon quests from Finder Ta'sul and Ta'lan the Antiquary that starts with Host Ta'rela <Innkeeper> in Oribos who gives Trading Favors. The Orobeal Shard buying price will drop with Rep from the Ascended and you can then purchase them at a discount from Zotimos in Hero's Rest.

The Littlest Mountain: Here's a wowhead guide for everything collectable. It may be daunting at first but sifting through this well-organized guide for what you can buy, reps to build to, and quests to complete will help you plan how in depth you want to go. :) enjoy!

Sure thing you kind man.

The Northrend vendors I mentionned are located at either Sunreaver's Sanctuary or The Silver Enclave in Northrend Dalaran (basically your faction specific place in Dalaran). They are 5 and all sell various sets of gear which are only buyable with the corresponding class, that said with TWW's transmog changes that might not remain true much longer :
- https://www.wowhead.com/npc=31581/magister-brasael (Horde) and https://www.wowhead.com/npc=31579/arcanist-adurin (Alliance) sell the Hateful Gladiator sets ;
- https://www.wowhead.com/npc=33963/magister-sarien (Horde) and https://www.wowhead.com/npc=33964/arcanist-firael (Alliance) sell the Deadly Gladiator sets ;
- https://www.wowhead.com/npc=37941/magister-arlan (Horde) and https://www.wowhead.com/npc=37942/arcanist-uovril (Alliance) sell the Relentless Gladiator sets ;
- https://www.wowhead.com/npc=31582/magistrix-lambriesse (Horde) and https://www.wowhead.com/npc=31580/arcanist-ivrenne (Alliance) sell the Savage Gladiator sets ;
- https://www.wowhead.com/npc=35495/magistrix-vesara (Horde) and https://www.wowhead.com/npc=35494/arcanist-miluria (Alliance) sell the Furious Gladiator sets

Those NPCs also sell more random pieces of gear and weapons like https://www.wowhead.com/item=40699/handbook-of-obscure-remedies (neat book), https://www.wowhead.com/item=40704/pride (bear looking fist weapon) or https://www.wowhead.com/item=40703/grasscutter (just a 1H sword).

Some other random NPCs sell gear too like https://www.wowhead.com/npc=29495/norvin-alderman (Cloaks), https://www.wowhead.com/npc=97012/wanda-chanter (sells the https://www.wowhead.com/item=47658/brimstone-igniter which is a very good looking wand and various grey wands), several vendors in "Tanks for everything" which is the forging area of Dalaran (plate gear, shields). I may be forgetting some, I'll keep you updated if I find so.

Those are all the Northrend gear/mogs sellers, I believe some goblins in the Underbelly sell the PvP gear too but if my memory does not fail me they cost https://www.wowhead.com/item=137642/mark-of-honor instead of gold so it kinda defeats the point of the thread but if you have way too many of those it might be useful I suppose.


For the Cata ones they're in your faction's capital.

Horde side they are on the top of Grommash Hold, accessible via a small way in the cliffside and a bridge. There are three NPCs, https://www.wowhead.com/npc=46556/jamusvaz , https://www.wowhead.com/npc=46555/gunra and https://www.wowhead.com/npc=58155/rugok
Alliance side they are also three, located at the top level of the Hall of Champions in Stormwind. https://www.wowhead.com/npc=44246/magatha-silverton , https://www.wowhead.com/npc=44245/faldren-tillsdale and https://www.wowhead.com/npc=58154/toren-landow

Those sell Firelands / Bastion of Twilight sets and several blue items.

All the armor sets only are head, shoulderpads, torso, hands and legs so don't expect the full mog.


And for the MoP vendors I believe I refered to https://www.wowhead.com/npc=64595/rushi-the-fox which sells some blue items. Other Pandaria quartermasters may do so too, haven't checked, but considering MoP Remix is live I would not make buying these a priority.

Edit : Now that I think about it there is NPCs in Shattrath that also sell some mogs for a good amount of gold so check it out too.

Well hope it answered your questions, please do tell me if I missed something and have a great one :)
