Elite World of Warcraft players don’t often 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’s why, even though I’m not a hardcore gamer and I think I’m far from being one of the elite PvPer players or raiders, I’m 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 am a long time WoW player and I like to farm or gather to make gold. In this way, you will make a 100% profit, while if you buy and resell things in the Auction House, the profit is only partial. Therefore, the WotLK gold farming tips that I am going to share here are about grinding and harvesting only.

WotLK Gold Farming Tips for Grinding

• Mobs that have Relics of Ulduar listed in their loot table are excellent targets for farming gold. So if you’re looking for humanoids, say, for frostweave cloth, go for the ones that also drop relics of Ulduar.
• If you have skinning, target the 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 ultimate food that grants high attack power. Also, it’s good to know that beasts above level 75 don’t drop boreal leather scraps, so it’s best to pick a camp with mobs above 75.
• Elemental revenants are good targets for crushing. 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 area or an Outland area, wherever you can use a flying mount, you’ll be at a huge disadvantage if you don’t have any flying skills. So no matter what you do, before you even buy gear, 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 to collect ores in the lower level areas of WotLK, because titanium is quite 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 that I am going to share here is for herb gatherers. All herb nodes in Northrend have a chance to drop Deadnettle except Lichbloom and Icethorns. Since this is a random drop, sometimes Deadnettle is hard to find, so by collecting plants that have a chance to drop this herb, you will double your earnings.

Now, I hope you find these WotLK gold farming tips epic enough to make some decent money in World of Warcraft’s Northrend zones. However, if my report doesn’t help, I can only recommend a WoW gold guide. It is the best alternative if you do not want to buy gold from online sellers.
