Lunar Festival
There are two ways in which you can earn gold during the Lunar Festival. The first way, (+rep to Martin240 for this tip. However, these items are unique, and only one can be in your inventory at one time. To get around this issue, use the portable mailbox, if you're an engineer, to quickly send them to an alt, or waste time flying back and forth in search of a mailbox. WoWhead lists these candles at a buyout price of 175 gold, 59 silver. Not bad for an investment of 10 silver each! (Make sure to sell these after the festival has ended, preferably a month after, since they only cost 10 silver.) Even so, these candles only offer a cosmetic ability, and so it depends what server you sell the candles on.
The second way to earn money during the Lunar Festival is to buy the companions, which cost 50 Coins of Ancestry. There are two companions you can buy from the Lunar Festival, and are called Lunar Lantern - Item - World of Warcraft, and the Festival Lantern - Item - World of Warcraft. What makes these companions so valuable is that the Lunar Lantern can only be bought from the Alliance vendor, and the Festival Lantern can only be bought from a Horde vendor. However, these companions are BoE, and are able to be sold on the Neutral AH, allowing an Alliance character to have both the Lunar and the Festival Lanterns. Because of this, the amount that the companions sell for over 5000g - 20000g, depending on which server you are playing on.
Again, there are two ways to earn money during this event, the first being to sell the companion, the Truesilver Shafted Arrow - Item - World of Warcraft, which is bought from the Love is in the Air vendor for 40 love tokens. It is easily farmed, but the ratio of 7:1 causes it to sell for less, only about 600g per companion, but 8000g+ for the mount. Because of this, I advise to buy the mount, if possible, but for those who dont want to farm for the tokens too much, you could buy the companion instead.
The second way to earn money during this event is to buy the mount, Swift Lovebird - Item - World of Warcraft, again sold from the vendor, but for 270 love tokens, and sells for 8000g+. However, it takes at least 5 hours to farm this many charms, depending on where you farm, or if you have found an exploit or now which helps you farm them. (Light Watchers- Hotfixed) This is probably the World Event where you can probably make the most money, if you farm the mounts for the two weeks that the event happens. For example, if you farm for five hours a day, for five days during the event, you can earn five mounts, at a rate of 5000-8000g per mount, which totals out to approximately 25,000g - 40,000g from this holiday. However, this, again, is server dependent, and the mounts can sell for more or less depending on where you are located. Also, this method is easily bottable, just from a simple auto-click macro or bot, since you don't necessarily need to loot the enemies. Personally, I recommend to use the Throne of the Tides Elemental Gauntlet for your farming needs, mainly because, if not in a group, no one will be able to see if you're botting, since you're in an instance, and you dont need to move.
