Make Gold Using the Dungeon Finder

In patch 3.3.0  a new feature was introduced into the game called the Dungeon Finder. This new feature replaced the old Looking For Group system. It selects players to form a party from all servers in a battlegroup, so you don't need to form a group from your own realm. Before this feature was introduced, it could take a long time to find a full group to run dungeons.

Not only does the Dungeon Finder significantly decrease the amount of time spent looking for a group, it offers rewards for doing random dungeons. If you are level 80 and you complete a random heroic using the Dungeon Finder, you will be rewarded 26 gold 46 silver and 2 Emblems of Frost. Each subsequent time you run a random heroic you receive 13 gold 23 silver and 2 Emblems of Triumph . These rewards and less wasted time, on top of the gold you can already make from dungeons really adds up. If you want to maximize the gold you make from doing dungeons follow these tips.

• While waiting to enter the dungeon, make money by farming minerals/herbs/fish. You can teleport to the dungeon from anywhere so avoid standing around while the Dungeon Finder creates your group.
• Learn to tank or heal. You will be matched with a group very quickly if you are tanking or healing.
• Loot everything that you can from the trash mobs. Picking up all food, drinks and gray items will usually get you a few gold at least.

The Emblems of Triumph that you get are great for getting new tier 9 gear, but if you have no upgrades to get then you can make money with these as well. You can exchange one Emblem of Triumph for one Emblem of Conquest, then one Emblem of Conquest for one Emblem of Valor. With the Emblem of Valor you can buy bind on equip epic bracers. These can be traded or sold in the auction house, although the amount of gold you will get depends on your realms economy. If you convert your Emblems of Valor into Emblems of Heroism you can buy uncut epic gems.

• Blue, red and yellow gems cost 20 Emblems of Heroism each
• Orange, green and purple gems cost 10 Emblems of Heroism each.
