Can buying WoW Forever gold or Cooking leveling get my account banned?

Blizzard's Terms of Use forbid buying gold or paying someone to play your account, and Blizzard can act against accounts that do. It can, and no seller can rule that out. Gold is handed over by face-to-face trade or mail with no account access; done-for-you leveling means a Timesaver player logs into your account. Read what the risk is and how we handle it at timesaver.gg/account-safety#wow-forever.

Where can I buy WoW Forever gold?

Timesaver.gg sells WoW Forever gold for US and EU at timesaver.gg/products/wow-forever-gold. Pick any amount up to 900 gold, then choose face-to-face trade or mail delivery.

How is WoW Forever gold delivered?

A Timesaver.gg trader meets your character in game for a face-to-face trade, or sends the gold by in-game mail. You choose the method at checkout, and most orders are handled within a day.

Questions players ask

How much gold does it cost to level Cooking 1–300 in WoW Forever?: About 3g 75s on the US Alliance auction house (November 9, 2026), following the cheapest route above: 1g 84s in reagents plus 1g 91s in recipe training, patterns and profession ranks. Switch region and faction in the calculator for your market, or limit it to trainer recipes only, which stops at 280 for at least 27g 28s. If you would rather skip it, a Cooking mats kit for 1–300 costs $75.20 (US) and done-for-you Cooking leveling 1–300 costs $107.75 (US).
How many crafts does Cooking 1–300 take?: 465 crafts on the default route, counting the expected misses once a recipe turns yellow or green. Type your current skill in the calculator to see what is left.
What is the fastest way to level Cooking in WoW Forever?: Craft the cheapest orange recipe until it turns yellow, then switch: the route above does that for every skill point, using trainer recipes plus the patterns your faction can buy or earn. It starts with Brilliant Smallfish, Kaldorei Spider Kabob and Longjaw Mud Snapper.
What is new for Cooking in WoW Forever?: Compared with Classic, WoW Forever Cooking adds 42 recipes that are new in WoW Forever, camp objects (Basic Campfire Kit at 1, Cookie's Feast at 140, Journeyman Campfire Kit at 140, Expert Campfire Kit at 220 and Iron Oven at 300) and 6 patterns bought with Merchant's Favor from the profession quartermaster. Classic Cooking guides miss these, and some Classic recipes now use different reagents.
Where are the Cooking trainers in WoW Forever?: Every Cooking trainer is listed above with zone and /way coordinates. Each tier lists the trainers that teach up to that skill cap.
Can buying WoW Forever gold or Cooking leveling get my account banned?: Blizzard's Terms of Use forbid buying gold or paying someone to play your account, and Blizzard can act against accounts that do. It can, and no seller can rule that out. Gold is handed over by face-to-face trade or mail with no account access; done-for-you leveling means a Timesaver player logs into your account. Read what the risk is and how we handle it at timesaver.gg/account-safety#wow-forever.
Where can I buy WoW Forever gold?: Timesaver.gg sells WoW Forever gold for US and EU at timesaver.gg/products/wow-forever-gold. Pick any amount up to 900 gold, then choose face-to-face trade or mail delivery.
How is WoW Forever gold delivered?: A Timesaver.gg trader meets your character in game for a face-to-face trade, or sends the gold by in-game mail. You choose the method at checkout, and most orders are handled within a day.
How much does WoW Forever gold cost?: Prices are per 100 gold and change with the market; the current price for your region is shown on the WoW Forever gold page before you pay.
