This document provides instructions for playing World of Warcraft (WoW) for free using WoW tokens. It explains that tokens can be purchased for gold in-game and sold on the auction house for game time. It recommends buying tokens in the morning when prices are lowest, and outlines two gold-making methods using garrison followers and buildings that can earn enough gold each month to purchase a token without spending real money.

2. I'm a lot like you: I like WoW and the $15/month is not that much money, but
playing for free is nice. Utilizing the token system, it's relatively easy to play
WoW for free (assuming you have been playing for a while and have some
higher level characters).Obviously to do this you need to buy a WoW token once
per month. The first step is determining how much gold this would take. Using a
site like this, you can see that the price of a WoW token (in the US) is currently
fluctuating between around 19,000g and 25,000g. An important thing to notice
is that the price fluctuation is quite constant, it typically peaks at around 6-8pm
(central time) and then typically bottoms out at around 6-8am. This is the first
step to playing for free:
Always buy your WoW token in the morning when they (approximately)
bottom out.
Doing so allows you to save around 20%, and earning 20,000 gold per month
(allowing for some token wiggle room) is quite attainable. Of course there are
limitless ways to earn gold, and I'll leave the bulk of the searching up to you
(you can find a multitude of guides all over the internet). I'll talk about the two
ways I use to make the most gold with the least effort and least competition,
you'll notice that they require the use of garrisons which does require higher
level characters:

3. 1) Use the Treasure Hunter trait on garrison followers.
This is easily done using the Inn building to recruit a brand new follower with the
Treasure Hunter trait guaranteed. Checking your missions constantly is optimal, but
twice a day for a minute or two per character is perfectly fine. With an army of
Treasure Hunter followers and the level 3 Inn treasure missions, you'll often find
yourself coming back to 400-800g or even more. Some missions give a 250g or 500g
baseline reward, meaning you'll get 1000g or 2000g with 3 Treasure Hunter followers!
My income on a character with a bunch of Treasure Hunters is anywhere from 300 to
2000 gold every 12 hours, typically around 600 gold per day. This alone is enough
(18000 gold) to pretty much pay for your WoW time!
2) Use the garrison's Gem Boutique jewelcrafting daily.
This one is quite easy: if you have a follower with the jewelcrafting trait working at
your level 2 or 3 Gem Boutique building, they will offer you a quest once per day. This
quest can be to turn in some ore or craft something using the jewelcrafting profession
(which can be done using the building). The quest typically requires 20-60 of either
kind of ore (or both), it just depends. You can usually completely this daily easily using
the ore you mine from your garrison's mine. This daily rewards a random amount of
gold in the 100-300 gold range. At an average of 200 gold a day, this means each
character you have doing these dailies generates 6000 gold per month!
