Weeknights between 7 and 11 PM (server time) a significant percentage of all WoW players are raiding.
This is a time for great adventures and all the fun stuff that goes along with raids.
But if you're not on a raid, this is a great time to make yourself some WoW gold.
Let me describe some ways you can profit from not being in a raiding party.
If you're big enough, you can farm for Eternals during this time.
Resources like Eternal Air and Fire are always in demand by high-level crafters, so bring high prices.
With so many people off raiding, areas like the Storm Peaks and Zul'drak should be relatively empty.
And that means less competition for the Eternals dropped here.
Lake Wintergrasp is the best area to look for eternals, but ony if your faction controls the area, and only if you're prepared for the possibility of some PvP combat.
This is a great time for any Gathering professions.
If you need to mine minerals, harvest herbs, or skin mobs, this is a great time to do it.
With everyone off in raids, there will be far more or whatever it is that you need to harvest, since there are fewer players actively harvesting during this time.
Following along with this theme, you won't be surprised to hear that raid time is a great time for grinding.
You're more likely to find the choicest mobs now, along with the best drops.
And you're much less likely to have to battle other players for the mobs you want.
In short, the secret to profiting during raid time is to be a contrarian.
When most people are off raiding, you'll profit greatly from taking advantage of the lack of competition for non-raiding activities.
Since raids generally start around 7 PM server time, the best time to apply this secret gold earning technique is shortly after 7 PM.
This gives a bit of time for stragglers to get into their raids, and for all the goodies you're going to be after to repop.
I think you'll find this time very lucrative.
