Level 40 Economy: Managing the 140g Mount + Dual Spec Milestone
At level 40, players face two major investments: their 60% ground mount (~90 gold with training) and Dual Spec (50 gold), totaling roughly 140 gold. To hit level 40 with enough currency:
Gold Generation Best Practices
Set camp in contested zones (Stranglethorn Vale, Desolace) to maintain 100% rested XP while farming humanoid mobs for Silk and Mageweave Cloth.
Excavation Site: Wetlands and Razorfen Kraul blue drops can be traded for 2 hours between group members to optimize enchanting shard yields on the Auction House.
