Elite World of Warcraft players often don’t share their knowledge of the best places or methods to make gold in this game. That does not bother you? Well, I know it bothers me. That is why, although I am not a hardcore player and I think I am far from being one of the elite PvPer players or raiders, I am going to share some WotLK gold farming tips here.
But before I start writing the tips I promised you, I have to make one thing clear. I’m an old WoW player and I like to farm or gather to make gold. This way, you will make a 100% profit, whereas if you buy and resell things on the Auction House, the profit is only partial. Therefore, the WotLK gold farming tips that I am going to share here refer to grinding and gathering only.
WotLK Gold Farming Tips for Grinding
- Mobs that have Relics of Ulduar listed in their loot table are excellent targets for farming. So if you’re looking for humanoids, for example, for Frostweave cloth, go for the ones that also drop Ulduar relics.
- If you have skinning, aim for beasts that drop more valuables than boreal leather and arctic fur. For example, mammoths also drop mammoth meat (Chunks o’ Mammoth to be more precise) which has a high value because cooks can make final food that grants high attack power. Also, it is good to know that beasts above level 75 do not drop boreal leather scraps, therefore it is better to choose a camp with mobs above 75.
- Elemental Revenants make good crushing targets. They drop crystallized items that can be used to make eternal water, fire, air, shadow, life, and earth. Eternals are required for multiple crafting recipes in the game, and regardless of price, they are always in high demand.
WotLK Gold Farming Tips to Collect
- It doesn’t matter if you’re in a WotLK zone or an Outland area, wherever you can use a flying mount, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you don’t have any flying skills. So no matter what you do, even before you buy equipment, gather money to buy the Craft Riding Skill and Cold Weather Flight. It is the best investment in your character as a collector.
- After reaching level 80, players generally don’t go mining for ores in the lower level areas of WotLK, because titanium is pretty rare there. That’s why cobalt, which can be found in these areas, is sometimes much more expensive than saronite, so if you’re a miner, that’s good to know.
- The last of the WotLK gold farming tips I’m going to share here is for weed gatherers. All herb nodes in Northrend have a chance to drop Deadnettle, except Lichbloom and Icethorns. Since this is a random drop, Deadnettle is sometimes hard to find, so by collecting plants that have a chance to drop this herb, you’ll double your earnings.
Now, I hope you find these WotLK gold farming tips epic enough to earn some decent money in World of Warcraft Northrend zones. However, if my report doesn’t help, I can only recommend you a WoW gold guide. It is the best alternative if you do not want to buy gold from online sellers.
