As 2nd anniversary of Honkai Star Rail approaches, players' attention is subtly switching between 3.2 Amphoreus campaign update and the preview information of 3.3. After seeing the gameplay kit of Hyacine leaked in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3, I was very curious - can this upcoming 5-star Wind Healer really change the current healing pattern of Luocha, Lingsha, and Huohuo?
The leak details Hyacine' s active abilities, her passive traces, her eidolons, etc. If the leaked information is accurate and has not changed after the release of Version 3.3, players can prepare for all these equipment in advance and pre-acquire them.
Version 3.3 LeaksAs an important NPC in Amphoreus plot line, Hyacine has aroused speculation since her debut due to her unique memosprite mechanism. Now HoYoverse has officially confirmed through official dynamics that this Remembrance Character will be launched as a playable character in May, and the equally popular Cipher will also be launched at the same time.
According to the current leaked information, we can clearly know the fact that players will consume numerous $1 in version 3.3, which may trigger a new round of resource hoarding craze.
Although version 3.2 has occupied the center of the topic with Castorice, Anaxa and Amphoreus campaign updates, with this leak of news, many players have set their sights on the more strategically profound version 3.3. According to the latest capture records of Honey Hunter World database, Hyacine's skill set presents an amazing composite healing characteristic, and its mechanism design around the dual core of Max HP & SPD may bring revolutionary changes to tactical system of Honkai Star Rail.
Hyacine Complete KitAccording to leaked information, Hyacine's Complete Kit contains three disruptive mechanisms:
Dynamic HP conversion system: Normal attacks directly link the percentage of maximum HP to maintain the output threat while stacking survival attributes. Memosprite Ica: This permanent summons inherits 50% of Hyacine's maximum HP. It can not only achieve full automatic endurance through out-of-turn healing, but also has a unique gain stacking mechanism. Petrichoric Clear Skies state: Three-turn Petrichoric Clear Skies state triggered by using Ultimate, at which time Hyacine will heal all team characters. The amount of healing is a certain percentage of her own maximum HP plus a fixed value.When Hyacine is in Petrichoric Clear Skies state, Ica will take action immediately after Hyacine uses a skill. When Ica triggers Talent's healing effect, it will restore additional HP to friendly targets. This powerful healing power can make the team worry-free, which makes Hyacine a good choice for players to build a team.
It is particularly worth noting that Ica is a non-turn-based action - this memosprite that does not appear on the action bar can trigger healing after any friendly unit acts. This kind of detachment from the traditional restriction mechanism completely breaks the tactical framework of the existing healing role. When paired with new Relic set Warrior Goddess of Daythunder, Ica's Gentle Rain effect triggered each round can provide an additional 15% team crit damage. Hyacine's design that deeply binds survival and output gain makes Hyacine's strategic value far beyond traditional healers.
Ideal BuildThe exclusive Relic Daybreak Thunder Valkyrie mentioned in the leaked intelligence is clearly designed to target Hyacine's mechanical pain points:
2-piece: It can increase the player's SPD by 60%, which also directly relieves the pressure of Hyacine build. 4-piece: When the treatment is triggered, it gains Gentle Rain state, providing an additional 6% SPD and 15% team critical damage.This set of Relics perfectly meets Hyacine's need for SPD and also forms a perfect closed loop with her own abilities. This makes it possible for her to become the most powerful healing profession and one of the characters with best sustain in Honkai Star Rail.
In terms of lineup matching, the synergy between Hyacine and Tribbie is particularly prominent - Tribbie can increase its own maximum HP according to the total maximum HP of its allies, so HP limit increase provided by Hyacine can be converted into double benefits, and this mechanism linkage may give birth to new tactics.
However, its strict build requirements may also become a problem - in order to exert the full strength, players need to obtain Relic and Ornament pieces with SPD as the sub-stat to meet her needs for SPD. This may require players to consume a lot of game resources to achieve. This high investment and high return feature may make Hyacine a good helper for krypton gold players. Civilian players may need to wait a little for the subsequent mechanism.
In any case, for players who lack a talented healer, Hyacine will be the best choice, and we look forward to her arrival bringing us more surprises!
For the first time since the release of Diablo 4, the developer released new game content several months in advance. In order to let players know the progress of the game in advance, it even revealed the theme of the season in 2026.
Diablo 4 announced a roadmap for 2025, which mainly lists seasonal content and some permanent content that changes with the game.
For the sake of the completeness of the roadmap, the roadmap announced by the developer first lists Diablo 4 season 7, focusing on witchcraft powers, occult gems and other content. It is clear that season 8 will start in April and last for three months.
Among them, the most anticipated Belial will return to Diablo 4. Season 9 will last from July to September, focusing on adding horadric powers, a new earnable pet, and dungeon escalation. Season 10 begins in September and ends in December. The focus of this season is on new chaos powers and an update for Infernal Hordes.
The specific content is as follows:
Diablo 4 Season 8 will focus on boss battles to increase the difficulty of the game. Because some players previously thought that the progress of the game in Season 7 was too fast, it was not enough for players to experience the pleasure of the game immersively.
So in Season 8, the developer said that in order to slow down the progress of the game and solve the problems mentioned by players, the difficulty of monsters and the difficulty of the game will be increased.
The main new boss powers in Season 8 are Apparition Incursion activity and earnable feline pet, and the new New Lair bosses are Belial, Urivar, and Harbinger.
At the same time, the battle pass will also be significantly transformed, because the previous pass is too old and cannot meet the needs of current players. Perhaps Diablo 4 will refer to and learn from open-ended battle pass system of Call of Duty to make the pass more up to date.
The name of the season starting in July is called Sins of the Horadrim. The main storyline of Diablo revolves around Horadrim, so the theme of this season is of great significance. According to a roadmap provided by the developer, the main quarterly content of Season 9 is Horadric powers, Dungeon escalation, earnable pet, Permanent additions, New Nightmare Dungeons activities, Console keyboard and mouse support.
Season 10 will introduce Infernal Chaos, which also includes seasonal powers, quests and rewards, but the key point is that the rewards have increased, and players can get more $1 and other rewards. These reflect that the developers have not forgotten their original intentions. It also includes specific content such as Chaos powers, Infernal Hordes, updates, and earnable pet.
The last part of the roadmap is the content for 2026, which mainly includes New expansion and New ranking system, New ranking system, among which the most eye-catching is the launch of the leaderboard. Games often have a competitive nature, and the leaderboard can greatly increase the interest of players and satisfy the psychological pursuit of victory.
Although the form of the leaderboard has not been specifically announced, there may be many rewards for players who are at the top of the leaderboard.
The above is about the content that will be updated in the next few seasons of Diablo 4. I wonder if there is any part that you are interested in?
The acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV has always been accustomed to incorporating and absorbing content from other Final Fantasy games, so it is not surprising that we will continue to see the series’ past in FFXIV.
In a recent interview, the game’s lead composer Masayoshi Soken said that the current MMORPG field is still lacking a work that truly carries the soul of Final Fantasy. The talented composer who has won numerous awards has a desire to pay tribute to the classic work Final Fantasy VIII. However, Soken also said that whether FF14 will add more Final Fantasy references later will depend on the specific situation.
Masayoshi SokenBack in 2010, the first version of FFXIV 1.0 almost ruined the entire IP due to its disastrous performance. It was during this crisis that Soken was appointed as the lead composer and set the emotional tone for A Realm Reborn with epic tracks. After fourteen years of hard work, he not only created legendary songs such as Close In the Distance and Tomorrow and Tomorrow for FFXIV, but also demonstrated his cross-border strength in Final Fantasy XVI. And his fusion of symphony and electronic rock won him high praise from industry professionals.
Interestingly, although FFXIV main music library already contains hundreds of adapted songs from the Final Fantasy series, Soken still has a special liking for FFVIII, and said that he felt very sorry that Eorzea continent has not yet fully demonstrated the spiritual heritage of FF8. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately triggered a hot post on Reddit - after all, this music giant has always been known for his accurate quotations, and every time the classic melody reappears, it can trigger the collective memory of players.
FFXIV DawntrailIt is interesting that in Dawntrail, players can clearly see the developer’s tribute to Final Fantasy 9. Perhaps this practice of favoring one over the other is the deep motivation for Soken’s voice this time.
In March, FFXIV released Patch 7.2. This means we are coming to the end of Dawntrail and can welcome the next expansion. It will be a great opportunity to showcase other game content and reimagine its world and characters - it is a good opportunity to include FF8 in it.
Classic ImplantationIn this case, why doesn’t FF14 directly introduce FF8 content on a large scale? This is because the resurrection of each classic element requires a narrative fulcrum. This also happens to reveal the key to FFXIV’s success - unlike the theme-park design that simply piles up feelings, the developer always adheres to the principle of world view compatibility. Every classic reappearance is a dual satisfaction of narrative logic and player emotion.
In addition, the implantation of classic content is often accompanied by fluctuations in the economic system. According to experience, this kind of sentiment-driven economic cycle is quite amazing. In the month that Gunbreaker class was launched, the total amount of $1 in circulation in the in-game weapons market grew incredibly, which also indirectly confirmed the leverage that the addition of some classic characters has on the virtual economy.
But I think now is the best time to integrate FF8 into FF14. Because now we need a new long-term villain to drive the story further. This can’t help but remind us of FF8’s primary antagonist - Ultimecia, who is the first female main villain to appear in the Final Fantasy series.
As a sorceress from the future, her strength should not be underestimated. She tried to make herself a living god. Although her plan did not succeed in the end, she still caused a lot of trouble for players in Final Fantasy 8, and thus left a very deep impression on players.
Interestingly, her ability to travel through time and space is just right for the plot of FFXIV, and we look forward to her joining as a new villain.
All in all, there are still many opportunities for Final Fantasy 14 to integrate with other Final Fantasy games. With new version confirmed to explore new continents, I hope Soken can get his wish. Maybe the legacy of FF8 will really be reborn in FF14 in the future.
In Pokémon GO, challenging Team Rocket leader Sierra is a battle that tests a trainer's strategy and strength. As the captain of the infamous Team Rocket, Sierra has a powerful Shadow Pokémon team. Defeating her not only proves your strength, but also earns you rich rewards and even a chance to capture Shadow Pokémon.
This article will give you a detailed analysis of Sierra's team configuration in April, the best battle strategy, and how to maximize your benefits.
PreparationBefore challenging Sierra, you need to assemble a Rocket Radar. This key item can be obtained by defeating 6 ordinary Team Rocket soldiers. It can help you locate one of three Team Rocket leaders - Sierra, Arlo or Cliff. Although you only have a 33% chance of encountering Sierra when you first use the radar, if you defeat the other two leaders, the system will gradually narrow the range and increase your chances of finding her.
It is worth noting that if you don't want to spend too much time collecting Rocket Radar, you can also buy it directly in the store using Pokémon Go PokeCoins. However, for players who like a challenge, accumulating Radar Fragments through battles is also a more rewarding way to get them.
Sierra's Pokémon TeamSierra's team consists of three Shadow Pokémon, which are divided into three waves. Although Sierra's first Pokémon is predetermined, she randomly chooses her second and third Pokémon, creating varied team compositions for each battle. Here is a list of Pokémon she may use in April 2025:
First wave fixed Pokémon: (Shadow) Skorupi Second wave reserve Pokémon: (Shadow) Milotic, (Shadow) Ninetales, (Shadow) Ferrothorn Third wave reserve Pokémon: (Shadow) Nidoqueen, (Shadow) Drapion, (Shadow) HoundoomEach of Sierra's Pokémon in each wave is a Shadow variant, which means that they have higher health and deal more damage when attacking. This makes choosing the right team crucial. If you have a powered-up Shadow or Mega Pokémon, send them out to show off your best abilities!
Best TeamsAlthough Sierra's battles are challenging, they are still slightly easier than in Master League of Pokémon GO. Therefore, Pokémon that perform well in PVP will generally perform well against Sierra. Based on her Pokémon pool, we recommend the following core lineup:
Swampert (Water/Ground)Super effective against Houndoom, Drapion, Nidoqueen, and Ninetales.
Recommended moves: Mud Shot + Hydro Cannon.
Magnezone (Electric/Steel)Counters Milotic and Ninetales, especially Electric moves that are very effective against Water-type Milotic.
Recommended moves: Spark + Wild Charge.
Blaziken (Fire/Fighting)Easily defeats starter Skorupi, and deals high damage to Ferrothorn and Nidoqueen.
Recommended moves: Counter + Blast Burn.
The best counter to Sierra is Swampert, as it can deal tremendous damage to most of Sierra's Pokémon. Especially with Shadow or Mega Swampert, you can further increase the damage and even kill the opponent in one hit.
Rewards for defeating SierraUpon successfully defeating Sierra, you will receive the following rewards:
1,000 Stardust 4x Revive 2x Max Revive 4x Hyper Potion 2x Max Potion 1x Unova Stone 1x 12km Strange EggIn addition, you will enter a special encounter with a chance to capture Sierra's Shadow Skorupi. This Pokémon is not only rare, but also has a very low chance of appearing in Shiny form! If you plan to challenge Sierra multiple times, it is recommended to have at least one Egg slot available to ensure that you can get a 12km Strange Egg. In addition, you can also use $1 to get incubators to hatch, and you may get rare Shadow Pokémon after hatching.
Tips: How to optimize the battle experience? Use weather bonuses: Rainy days can enhance the strength of Swampert, while sunny days can increase the damage caused by Blaziken. Proper use of weather can make the battle easier. Teamwork: If you have friends who are also challenging Sierra, you can exchange intelligence with each other and share your current team configuration to adjust your strategy.Defeating Sierra is not only a contest of strength, but also a great opportunity to obtain rare resources. With reasonable team configuration and tactical adjustments, you will definitely have the upper hand in this battle. Now, pick up your Rocket Radar and meet the challenge!
Everyone must be familiar with the casual game Stardew Valley. You will play as a company employee in the game, and inherit your grandfather’s farm by chance. From then on, you will stay away from the workplace life and start a leisure journey.
This independent game plays an important role in the field of life simulation and farm games. You can explore this complete world in the game, you can communicate with others, and grow a lot of crops. It is very playable.
Although the world in this game looks peaceful and happy on the surface, there are many unusual secrets hidden around the valley and Pelican Town, and you can explore those hidden secrets.
Recently, a series of a new quality of life changes were made in its 1.6 update. For example, many $1 were added: large boxes, water bowls that can move pets, and other minor adjustments, all of which make your exploration in the game easier.
Flowers Wake Up Too Much Inventory SpaceHowever, the only flaw is that it ignores an improvement in quality of life: the unreasonable, excessive inventory space occupied by flowers.
As you’ve probably learned from experience, different colored flowers take up their own designated inventory slots, which is bad news for us players. Your inventory will fill up quickly, and it will be more difficult to manage your harvest.
Like most games, Stardew Valley has a relatively limited inventory space, so you’ll need to manage that space as you collect crops and other Stardew Valley Items around town.
With the clever addition of large chests, you actually have plenty of space to store Stardew Valley Items most of the time. However, flowers take up a lot of inventory, which can make inventory management a big fuss.
And different varieties and colors have their own inventory slots. That adds up to a staggering amount of inventory.
When it comes to harvest time in Stardew Valley, especially in the spring and summer, the biggest problem you face is picking and storing all the different colors of flowers.
Fairy rose, blue jazz, and summer spangle each have six unique color variations, while poppies have three and tulips have five different hues. In other words, most flowers you harvest will take up to six inventory slots, which is quite a lot.
How To Improve Inventory Management?In fact, Stardew Valley could avoid this annoyance by slightly revising the way flowers are stored and adding some new quality of life features to the game.
Generally speaking, the number of items you can store in one inventory slot is pretty lenient. Stone, wood, and almost all Stardew Valley Items in the game can be stacked up to 999 in one inventory slot.
And being able to carry so many things with you makes it easier to complete tasks, but it also makes the fact that some items can’t be stacked more obvious.
The best way to solve the problem of flowers taking up so much inventory space when harvested is to have the flowers category only take up one slot. And if the small drop-down menu in the inventory can have color options, you can choose the specific color you need.
If Stardew Valley made this slight change, it would greatly reduce your pain of picking and storing flowers and ease your inventory management. Hopefully, it will be as we wish.
As a fan of Pokemon Go, I recently heard some very bad news: Niantic announced that it had sold its gaming division to Scopely, which is part of the Saudi investment fund.
And Scopely acquired Pokemon Go for $3.5 billion. But I don’t have a good impression of the developer, so I am worried about the prospects of Pokemon Go.
In fact, before the outbreak, the thriving player community was all over the world. However, after the outbreak, everyone was forced to stay indoors. Since then, Pokemon Go has been on a downward trend.
As its fans, this situation is something we don’t want to see. And what’s more frustrating is that the game has changed a lot.
Paid TicketsPaid tickets have long been a part of Pokemon Go, and I don’t dislike them. Although this is a free game, the developers also need to make money to keep the game running and developing.
And we always find ways to play every event for free. Of course, there will always be some loyal fans who are willing to spend money to get more rewards and game experience.
However, the new changes in the game annoy me. As everyone knows, $1 are very important in the game, which you can get by battling in gyms or completing quests. But getting 50 coins a day is a big deal because it is not easy to get.
Coins can be used to trade premium tickets for any event of your choice, but now you can’t use coins to trade event passes. Forcing us to trade back with real money greatly undermines the motivation of free game players like us to continue working hard and reduces our enthusiasm for participating in the game.
It is undeniable that the new changes in Pokemon Go reflect predatory and exploitative nature, trying to squeeze as much cash as possible from us players.
AcquiredAnd the worse news is that Pokemon Go was acquired by Scopely. I guess everyone has seen the true face of Scopely. It is profit-oriented, such as ads that can be skipped for a fee and premium items sold directly.
The end of being acquired by it is foreseeable that Pokemon Go will become a game of paid entertainment. I can imagine that if you spend enough money, you’ll get Legendaries easily, and Master Balls will be readily available. But that takes away from the fun of struggling in the game.
Will the future of Pokemon Go get worse? Let’s wait and see.
Genshin Impact has announced the new regions added in the 5.5 update. In addition, this update also brings a lot of interesting new content to players, including new characters, new weapons, new events, and more. After the update, players can accumulate resources and improve their strength by participating in this limited-time event.
Here are the new contents added in version 5.5.
New Sub-regionA trailer was released in Special Program of Genshin Impact, showing the new sub-region unlocked in the 5.5 update.
The new area will be located in the southwest of Natlan. Players must first meet the members of Collective of Plenty before going to Great Volcano of Tollan. Collective of Plenty is the latest and last unannounced tribe in Natlan, so many players are looking forward to it. As can be seen in the trailer, the new area will have many floating islands, and players may need to use Phlogiston to move between them.
Natlan this long-awaited part features Great Volcano of Tollan, one of the most iconic landmarks of Pyro tribe. Official news also revealed that the volcano may have environmental effects, which has sparked heated discussions among players. The most popular speculation is that this environmental effect may be achieved by completing new quests.
New CharactersVersion 5.5 also brings two new characters, Iansan and Varesa. They will appear together with Xianyun, a favorite character of players who like Liyue. Players who like them should prepare enough $1 to obtain them!
IansanIansan is a fitness guru. Her rarity is only four stars, which disappointed some players because she appeared in the game’s trailer a long time ago. But her strength is still very impressive. As an Electro Polearm character, Iansan is very suitable as an Electro Support. Her normal attack is Weighted Spike, elemental skill is Thunderbolt Rush, and elemental burst is called Three Principles of Power.
She can also gain Nightsoul Points by moving other active characters besides her, which means that fast-moving DPS characters can use this to gain greater benefits. It also allows her to be used in a flexible team combination by players, and can complete tasks more efficiently during activities.
VaresaVaresa is a fast and furious masked hero, a five-star character, and her main source of attack damage is her Plunging Attacks-Plunge Opportunities can be obtained through normal attacks By the Horns, which makes Varesa more convenient. At the same time, this skill also allows her to use her charged attack and jump into the air to directly perform a jumping attack.
In addition, Varesa’s elemental skill is Riding Night-Rainbow, and her elemental burst is Guardian Vent. When holding an elemental skill, Varesa dashes forward and is able to break obstacles, jump, and walk across water, making it a splendid choice when exploring Natlan.
New EventsAs always, this update also has new events for players to look forward to. Players can get rewards by participating in these limited-time events, including weapon materials, as well as Genesis Crystals, etc., using these resources to enhance the strength of characters and weapons.
Tournament Of Glory In BloomThis competition in Natlan requires you to collect Sacred Flame Crystals to help a sick Saurian. The tribe must participate to obtain these crystals, and they can be obtained by fighting in two different ways, offensively and defensively.
Quirky Quacking ArenaThis is a cooperative event where you need to collect Adventure Coins in different arenas, use resources in item boxes to get more coins, or prevent other teams from scoring.
Rhythm Ball MeztliA music festival event for Springs tribe in Natlan, which will also be attended by Xilonen. This event requires you to use a racket to hit the ball back and forth to hit different elemental blocks.
Unlimited Fighting ChampionshipThis is a fighting event where players need to pass five stages of difficult challenges. Follow the directions in the event to get various buffs, and then use them to assist players to resist powerful bosses.
Overflowing FavorUse the power of Original Resin to help the silver tree bloom and obtain various blessings from the past, players can get double artifact drops in artifact domains.
New WeaponVersion 5.5 also has a new 5-star catalyst-Vivid Notions, which is the signature weapon of Varesa in the new character. Players can get it during the event.
Overall, Genshin Impact Version 5.5 has many new designs that enhance the fun of this game and is worth playing!

In the upcoming version 0.2.0 patch update in late March, the developers will add a series of new content to the game. These include new support gems, new unique items, and even there will be a high probability of releasing a new class.
However, among the adjustments announced by the developers for POE 2, there is one point that is controversial among players, that is, the adjustment to Lost Towers. They added the mechanism of Lost Towers to make it have richer content for players to explore. But not all players are satisfied with this.
What Adjustments Have Been Made To Lost Towers?In the preview of the 0.2.0 patch, the official said that they will change the mechanism of Lost Towers in the next update, so that players can encounter random rare enemies or even BOSSes in the process of exploring the tower. At the same time, the next version of Lost Towers will also be affected by Precursor Tablets, changing the distribution of monsters. That is to say, Lost Towers will give birth to more monsters for players to sweep.
It is not possible to judge whether this change is good or bad. Let’s take a look at how Lost Towers perform in the endgame of the 0.1.0 patch.
Lost Towers In 0.1.0 PatchIn the endgame, players explore Lost Towers basically to open up new maps, and then insert Precursor Tablets on Lost Towers to affect the appearance of modifiers.
If players have Waystones with very bad attributes, or Waystones that become worse under the influence of Vaal Orb, then players usually choose to use these Waystones on Lost Towers.
Because Lost Towers have very low returns, and basically no rare items will be dropped. And there are no activities. Therefore, there is no loss in dropping Waystones in Lost Towers.
If players have Precursor Tablets with very good attributes, then players can insert these Precursor Tablets into nearby towers. The influence areas of these towers will overlap, and the overlapping areas are the areas with the best farming currency. When several excellent attributes overlap, the probability of rare enemies appearing in this overlapping area will be much higher, so you can get good benefits in these locations, such as many $1 or even unique items.
This method is also effective in 0.2.0. This is a very timesaving method. But players still hate Lost Towers very much and even think that Lost Towers ruined the entire POE 2 endgame experience.
Mainly because the rewards players can get in Lost Towers are very rare, and the interior of Lost Towers is very complicated, like a maze. And the interior of Lost Towers is very narrow. When players fight inside Lost Towers, the skills they release are often blocked by walls, so the experience inside Lost Towers is very poor.
However, the developers also made some changes to Lost Towers in 0.1.1. In version 0.1.1, the developers added 5 new types of towers to the game:
Alpine Ridge Bluff Lost Towers Mesa Sinking SpireEach of these towers has a different terrain and monster distribution. The best tower for players is basically Bluff, because the exploration route in this tower is basically a straight line, allowing them to complete the tower the fastest.
Lost Towers In 0.2.0 PatchSince Lost Towers introduced more points of interest in 0.2.0, players have to spend more time than usual to fully explore the entire tower. This is unbearable for some players, mainly because the complex and narrow terrain of Lost Towers makes every minute of fighting in it full of torture. Even worse, players sometimes cannot defeat the boss in the tower, which may cause players to have to challenge these bosses repeatedly or waste one of their Waystones to reset the tower.
In addition, since the 0.2.0 patch, towers will also be affected by Precursor Tablets. When players use Breach tablets and encounter a Breach encounter in a tower, the battle will become very difficult.
After the update, players can no longer throw Precursor Tablets or Waystones with disadvantageous entries into Lost Towers at will, because towers will now also have various monsters and rewards.
But such changes are not all bad. At least after the update, Lost Towers will become the same as ordinary maps and can also bring rich rewards to players. Compared with previous versions, players now have more opportunities to encounter Ritual events, Breach events and Delirium mirrors on the map. Therefore, towers will become another place to choose to farm currency.
Lost Towers will also be affected by Precursor Tablets on other Lost Towers, so you can also control the drops or enemies in the tower to a certain extent.
Read More: $1
Most players may be dissatisfied with the changes to Lost Towers in the 0.2.0 patch. This is because Lost Towers is not what they are interested in. The process of exploring the tower is depressing and disappointing. Even after the changes, most players are probably still not willing to fight in such a complex terrain as Lost Towers. Players are more looking forward to developers bringing some real new content. For example, new bosses, new activities, new unique items or classes, etc.
Making gold in World of Warcraft (WoW) isn’t just about having a heavy coin purse—it’s also about affording epic mounts, crafting the best gear, and grabbing rare items from the Auction House. Whether you’re a brand-new adventurer or a seasoned player looking to optimize your earnings, this list has you covered. We’ve compiled these top ten methods based on popular community strategies, in-game testing, and time-proven tactics to ensure you’re maximizing your gold income.
$11. Gathering Professions (Herbalism & Mining) Explanation Gathering raw materials—like herbs, ores, and sometimes even fishing catches—remains one of the most straightforward ways to make gold. Players often need these materials for crafting professions. You don’t need a high-level character to start making gold from gathering; you just need to pick the right zones where valuable resources spawn. Why It Stands Out Materials for popular consumables, such as flasks and potions, are always in demand. Gathering routes can be easily learned and repeated for consistent earnings. Pro Tip Use an addon to track node locations and optimize your gathering path. This minimizes downtime and boosts gold-per-hour. $12. Crafting Professions (Alchemy, Enchanting, etc.) Explanation Crafting professions let you convert lower-value materials into high-demand items like potions, enchants, or gear enhancements. Once you master a crafting profession, you can produce rare or in-demand items that sell at a premium on the Auction House. Did You Know? Alchemy offers not only potions and flasks but also transmutations. Some transmutes (like turning certain materials into more valuable ones) can yield big profits over time with minimal effort. $13. Auction House Flipping Explanation1. Flipping involves buying items at low prices and reselling them at a higher rate. Successful flippers keep a close eye on market trends and prices.
2. You can make gold without spending hours farming—if you’re willing to do the research.
Mini-Step Guide1. Identify an item with volatile prices (such as certain consumables or crafting mats).
2. Use an Auction House addon to track historical data.
3. Buy low, and list for higher when demand spikes (like on raid nights).
$14. Daily Quests and World Quests Explanation Daily quests or world quests are a guaranteed source of steady gold once you reach higher levels or the expansion’s endgame zones. They often reward gold directly, plus extra perks like reputation, resources, or gear that can be sold or scrapped. Why It Stands Out Great for players who only have a limited amount of time each day—complete a few dailies, earn a set amount of gold, and log off. Some world quests also provide resource caches that can be sold or used to craft profitable items. $15. Farming Rare Items and Transmog Explanation Certain rare drops, including old raid transmog pieces, pets, or mounts, can fetch a high price from collectors. This method can be more of a gamble but yields lucrative rewards if you land that elusive drop. Pro Tip Focus on older dungeons or raids that are easily soloable. Items from expansions like The Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King can be particularly popular with transmog enthusiasts. $16. Fishing for Profit Explanation While it might seem mundane, fishing can be incredibly profitable if you know which fish and materials are in high demand. Some fish are used for top-tier cooking recipes and raid consumables, meaning they’ll always sell well. Did You Know? Certain zones have rare fish with unique effects—if the market is right, these can be a surprising gold mine. $17. Pet Battles and Rare Pets Explanation Collectors love unique battle pets, and some pets can be sold on the Auction House for high amounts. Certain quests or achievements reward pets that you can later cage and sell. Why It Stands Out Pet battling isn’t just a mini-game; it’s a legitimate way to make gold with minimal investment in gear or levels. Seasonal events sometimes introduce rare pets, so stay alert to holiday events for limited-time opportunities. $18. World Events and Holiday Quests Explanation In-game events like Brewfest, Hallow’s End, or the Lunar Festival often feature seasonal items, pets, or tokens that can be turned into gold. Rewards can be caged or sold, making these events prime time for easy profit. Pro Tip Stock up on event-exclusive items and sell them later in the year when they’re no longer available, driving up their rarity and price. $19. Farming Old Content for BoE Gear Explanation1. Whether it’s soloing older raids or dungeons, you can earn Bind-on-Equip (BoE) pieces that still sell well due to unique appearances or stats.
2. This method combines the nostalgia of revisiting older content with the potential for profit.
Mini-Step Guide3. Choose an expansion’s raid that you can comfortably solo.
4. Clear trash mobs and bosses for a chance at BoEs.
5. List any unique appearance items on the AH, especially if they’re no longer.
$110. Boosting Services (Dungeon/Raid Carries) Explanation● High-level, well-geared players often offer “carries” through tough content in exchange for gold.
● If you have a strong group or guild, you can quickly accumulate gold from players willing to pay for achievements or gear upgrades.
Why It Stands Out● Potentially very lucrative if you can run content efficiently.
● Ideal for endgame players who have the skill and gear to breeze through challenging raids or mythic dungeons.
Looking for a Boost?● If you don’t have the time or resources to set up your own carries, consider checking out $1 for safe, efficient boosting services. Whether you’re after a faster level grind or top-tier gear, a reputable service can help you skip the grind and focus on the fun.
$1Wrapping UpWhether you prefer gathering herbs in scenic zones, scouring the Auction House for flipping opportunities, or offering dungeon carries, there’s a gold-making strategy for every WoW playstyle. By mixing and matching these methods—like combining daily quests with the occasional transmog run—you can build a steady stream of income to fund your epic mounts, rare gear, and everything in between.
