Is It Possible To Make Money On World of Warcraft In 2022?

Gamers from all over the world are proving that getting paid for what they are good at is not just a fantasy. There are many ways to earn some money playing video games — from sponsorship to tournaments.

Over the years of its existence, the World of Warcraft universe has attracted millions of players from all over the world. With each year, more and more gamers spend tens or even hundreds of hours of their lives in World of Warcraft, and pirate servers are like mushrooms sprouting up after a rain.

There are several ways to make money in online games. They differ in the amount of time you are willing to devote to this occupation, the sum you want to earn, and the legality or illegality of such earnings. Moreover, illegal methods are more accessible.

So, let's see how you can monetize your World of Warcraft skills.
 

Paid services in WoW

Both in life and WoW, we are ready to pay to be better than others, or at least feel that way. The system of achievements and ranks in WoW encourages more successful players to sell services to those who can't reach the top of the ladder on their own. Yeap, that's ordinary boosting, just like in any other multiplayer game.

WoW sells everything. Achievements, mounts, arena rank, dailies, leveling up, completing raids, equipment, pets, and even the services of healers or tanks. Top WoW players make money by helping the weaker ones reach their intended goal and complete certain quests and raids like Sepulcher of the First Ones Heroic Raid Run.

There are even specialized companies offering various boosting services. Numerous gamers start to cooperate with such firms and work in a team of professionals. That is, they make gaming their official and main source of income.
 

Tournaments

It is rather a small “side job” that may or may not bring you profit. To make money on esports in World of Warcraft, you should first 'bet' on PvP and the Arena World Championship tournament. There is also a PvE competition Mythic Dungeon International. Tournaments are not held very often, and only the TOP-3 teams win.

The drawback is that you need a character with good gear, a well-played team, and decent skill. Blizzard gives the best rewards for participating in PvP battles in WoW, so it's worth paying attention to AWC and start looking for a team of a fairly high level to take part in the finals at BlizzCon.

 

Developers continue to invest in this tournament, and since its inception, it has almost tripled the prize pool. However, it is worth noting that you must be an exceptional player to earn money in World of Warcraft.
 

Streaming

Streaming is thriving, bringing cash and growing. There are many examples of streamers whose income is only their streams. Therefore, if you are ready to spend a lot of time on MMORPGs, have charisma, are not shy about talking in front of the camera, or just play very well, you can try your hand at streaming and make it a source of additional income.

 

However, it is worth noting that watching the World of Warcraft stream is quite difficult. In MMORPGs, actions are chaotic and most often have no result over a long distance. Ordinary viewers stay on such a stream only if they like the host.

The streamer, in turn, will either have to develop oratory skills or be content with low views. Exceptions may be professional players from large guilds — they have something to show.
 

Coaching

The most enterprising players have started playing earlier than others, obtained knowledge, gained popularity, and now conduct online courses for beginners. However, you need to know exactly what you are going to teach others — PvP, Gold farming, Arena, or playing for a certain class.

Be prepared to spend your energy, time, and nerves cause people are different, and some are really difficult to learn. Post your ads on thematic forums and provide the highest quality service. Then your clients will tell others about you as a top World of Warcraft coach, which will bring you more income in the future.
 

Selling Your Account

Perhaps the fastest way to earn a cool sum on the account is by selling your WoW account, especially if you have invested a huge amount of time and money into it.

The disadvantages of such earnings are obvious. Firstly, there is only one account, respectively, and the “salary” will be one. Secondly, the buyer will most likely be banned due to the change of IP address and everything else.

 

Also, some players steal accounts by guessing passwords or calculating old and inactive profiles that don't have two-factor authentication and then sell them. This method exists, but we are against it and don't advise anyone. May your conscience be clear.
 

Apply For Work

If you are an ardent fan of this MMORPG, there is another option for you — to find World of Warcraft job postings. Yes, that's also possible. For a certain percentage, the employer will teach, tell, show, and give a tool for work.

The advantages are gigantic — you don't buy anything, don't risk your money and you are given all the information in full and completely for free. The disadvantage — you still have to share the profits.
 

Wrapping Up

As you can see, making money in World of Warcraft is possible and quite realistic. However, it is worth considering the moment that from the start you won't get an income equivalent to 5 of your salaries. You have to be a true pro of this game to make decent money.

 

Earning money on MMORPG games isn't only farming but also a constant search for new customers who are ready to buy things from you. Learn to search for clients. Learn to provide quality services, and then you will have a chance to monetize your hobby. We wish you the best of luck in achieving your goals!
