For most WoW crafting orders, tip 5-15% of the item's material value, or a flat 100-500 gold for simple crafts. For high-end gear such as a rank 5 epic, an embellished piece, or anything using a Spark, 1,000-5,000 gold is standard. When you provide all the mats yourself, the tip is the crafter's entire payment, so lean generous if you want fast, quality service.
- Simple / low-level crafts: 50-200 gold flat.
- Consumables & enchants (stacks): 100-500 gold, more for bulk orders.
- Rank 5 crafted gear (epic): 1,000-3,000 gold.
- Embellished or Spark items: 2,000-5,000+ gold.
- Rare recipe or guaranteed max-skill proc: add 50-100% on top.
Do you have to tip on a WoW crafting order?
No, tipping isn't required, but it's strong etiquette. If you supply every material and only ask someone to click craft, a tip is the only reward they get for their profession investment and their time. A blank or lowball tip on a big item often gets ignored while tipped orders get filled in minutes.
How do I set a tip on a crafting order?
When you place a personal or public order at a Crafting Order table, there's a Tip field before you submit. Enter the gold amount there and it's held until the crafter completes the order. Public orders with visible tips get picked up fastest, so set a fair number if you want it done quickly.
What's a good tip for a Spark of Omens item?
Spark-gated pieces are your best gear and often use expensive mats, so tip on the higher end: 2,000-5,000 gold, especially if you also want a high item level from a max-skill craft. Crafters spec heavily into these recipes, and a solid tip reflects that specialization.
