Gold Farming Guide - Great Farming Spots

By Vincent Gottfried

Farming can be described as the act of killing one or a few type of monster in an area to earn its gold or loots; this method is considered old fashioned and relatively easy, but it doesn't mean that you can't get lots of gold from it. With a good gold farming guide, you'll know the most profitable locations, zones, or instances to farm; the fastest techniques to finish the mob and earn your loots; and the best class to do it.

This isn't a detailed gold farming guide, however, I'll try to uncover as much as I could. When you just created your toon, it is extremely hard to farm efficiently, so go and get a couple of quests, earning experience, gain a few copper or silver, and get your character to level fifteen.

If you have reached level 15, there are tow alternatives. If you are in the Alliance faction, go to Gold Coast area in Westfall to look for Defias Windmill. You'll find a lot of Defias mobs near the windmill; you can acquire linen cloth and other humanoid loots from them. They are around level 12, so you should be able to kill them easily; you also don't need to worry about running out mobs to kill since they respawn quickly.

If you are in Horde faction, you can go to The Barrens and start killing Great Plainstrider. It has pretty high chance to drop Light Feather, which is sold well at the Auction House. Sometimes it also drops fair weapons and armors such as Fire Wand or Native Sash.

One tips that you have to remember when farming is always keeping empty space in your bag; that means selling your trash to the nearest vendor whenever possible. If you happen to be in a condition where your bag is full and there is no vendor around, throw away the less valuable items and keep the higher value ones.

Here are some good farming spots for higher level character:

1. Alterac Mountains in Eastern Kingdoms; kill Elemental Slave here, they have slight chances to drop elemental earth that sell well at the Auction House.

2. Scarlet Monastery Graveyard in Trisfal Glades; look for Unfettered Spirit here, they are easy to kill compared to the other mobs and have fair drops.

3. The Badlands in Eastern Kingdoms; locate normal Rock Elemental for lots of grey loots such as Lifeless Stone and Jagged Piece of Stone.

4. Searing Gorge in Eastern Kingdom; kills the elites here and have your Mageweave Cloth.

5. Felwood in Kalimdor; locate the Deadwoods since they drop silver, Living Essences, rare herb, and major healing potions.

6. Shalzaru's Lair at the Isle of Dread; kill the Nagas in order to gain Golden Pearl.

7. Deadwind Pass in Eastern Kingdoms; get Deadwind Ogre Mage for Runecloth drop.

8. Arklon Ruins in Netherstorm, Outland; look for Artifac Seeker and Fellblade Doomguard for Mark of Sargeras and Fel Armament.

9. Dragonblight in Northrend; from Venomspite, go south until you reach the shore while killing all humanoid mobs in your way to gain gold and many other loots.

10. Wintergrasp in Northrend; ready for some challenges? This PvP zone will make farming even more difficult, but you will find various Revenant here that drop Crystallized Air, Water, Shadow, Fire, and Earth.

There are many other zones or instances where you can have good gold per hour from farming; all that you need is the precise info on the best mobs and the quickest ways to kill it.
