Where the rate comes from
Gold has no official dollar price, so the rate comes from live retail World of Warcraft gold listings on Mr. Gold. Each seller counts once, so one seller posting many offers can't move the figure, and the median is only shown when at least three sellers are listing. The cheapest live offer is shown too. WoW Classic gold is a separate market with its own prices.
Why gold costs more on some realms
Every realm and region has its own economy. Busy realms with many farmers usually have cheaper gold than small ones, and EU and US prices differ. Faction can matter as well. Treat the calculator as the going rate across all listings, and check the listings for your own realm before you buy.
The WoW Token
Blizzard's WoW Token is the official way to turn money into gold: you buy a token from Blizzard ($20 in the US) and sell it on the Auction House for gold. Its gold price moves with demand and is shown in game, so the token rate and the player market rate are rarely the same. Tokens can also be used the other way, to pay for game time or Battle.net balance with gold.
Frequently asked questions
What is the WoW Token?
An item you buy from Blizzard with real money ($20 in the US) and sell to other players on the Auction House for gold. It's the only way Blizzard supports turning money into gold, and its gold price changes with demand.
Can I get banned for buying WoW gold?
Buying gold from third parties breaks Blizzard's terms of service, so there is always some risk. The WoW Token is the only fully supported option; if you buy elsewhere, use escrow and never share your account login.
