Once you’ve reached level 40, there are a couple of spots in the World of Warcraft that you can farm for gold. There are two spots in which you can solo while there’s one that you might need a help from a high level friend. Here are the places that you can go to farm for gold.
Badlands’ Rock Elementals
Level 37 to 40 Rock Elementals could be found at the North West or East of the Badlands. Once you’ve reached their camp, start grinding them. Kill each and every Rock elemental you find and loot everything they drop.
They drop considerable amount of vendor trash plus items such as Solid Stone, Deeprock Salt, and Elemental Earth that you can sell at the Auction House for more gold. Rock Elementals are good grind mobs that can give you lots of WoW gold.
Scarlet Monastery
You can get lots of WoW gold in this instance. Even if you got to share some with a level 70 friend, it would still enough for both of you. All you need to do is to run the Library, Armory and Cathedral again and again.
You might be able to run the instance with a normal group but your share of the gold and loot would diminish. To maximize your gold potential, it is best to just run it with a friend who would be willing to give you all the gold and loot.
The best grind spot in the Scarlet Monastery would be the Graveyard. The Forsaken Spirits in that area would drop around 1 to 8silver per kill. Plus they also drop vendor trash and green items. Best of all, you can solo these mobs because they are level 30 to 32 non-elites. They might come in groups of threes but a level 40 Hunter had no trouble grinding these mobs.
Stranglethorn Vale’s Adventure Co. Geologists and Murlocs
If you’re in a PVP realm, you’ll know that Stranglethorn Vale is gank city. If you’re in a PVE realm then you can grind any mob in STV. But if you belong in a PVP server, the best farming spot would be at the North East of STV. There you’ll find Adventure Co. Geologists. The Geologists are a great source of Silk and they have a good drop rate for green items. They can be easily killed.
But if there are players from the other side farming the Geologists and you simply can’t kill them, then head to the Murlocs. Chests usually spawn at this spot and the Murlocs go down fast. They drop around 1 to 3 silver with each kill.
Everyone’s waiting for the Wrath of the Lich King to arrive next month. This early people are speculating about the changes it would bring to the game. One of the aspects that would surely be affected would be farming.
It’s just like the Burning Crusade. With the arrival of WotLK, gold farming would go up a notch. Here are some of the reasons why I think WotLK can make a difference in our quest for WoW gold.
Gear will be much better
Gone are the days when you need a serious raiding guild in order to equip yourself with the best gear needed for farming. It started with the badge gears and the so-called welfare PvP epic gear. With those gears your farming capacity will greatly increase. When WotLK arrives, expect more gear to be available from the vendors. You don’t even have to go raiding for your gear anymore. Although you might not fill all your slots with good gear, it would still be better than nothing. Killing mobs will definitely be easier than before.
New passive buffs
WotLK will be introducing passive buffs from gathering professions. It is said that maximum Mining would increase your health by 500; maximum Skinning raises crit chance by 25; and maximum Herbalism would heal self for 2000 over 15 seconds. These passive skills can greatly help when grinding.
More methods of making gold
Making gold used to be just grinding mobs or farming mats. Or you can use your gathering professions such as mining, skinning and herbalism. WotLK will be introducing a new profession that is a sure fire gold making machine. A player can make glyphs through the Inscribing profession. Unlike enchants, glyphs can be sold in the auction house.
World of Warcraft will get bigger
There will be new zones to be added to the World of Warcraft. Already confirmed are Northend, Borean Tundra, and the Howling Fjord. Then there’s Lake Wintergrasp, a PvP area. Once WotLK is release, prepare for the return of old payers who went into hiatus. More people would mean more customers and more business potentials. Just keep your eyes open for anything that could be profitable for you.
These are just some ways as to why it will be easier to make gold when the expansion Wrath of the Lich King is released. Don’t be left behind when that time comes. More WotLK tips once it is implemented already.
Imagine how life would be when you’re in the dark about the source of those recipes in the Auction House that’s priced ridiculously high. That era was before Gazmik Fizzwidget came out with an outstanding add-on that everyone must have. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. This is the add-on that pattern sellers don’t want you to have.
Fizzwidget’s Aspace is so brilliant yet simple that it deserves to be the number two WoW add-on, Auctioneer being the number one of course. We’ve all been there before. When searching for recipes at the AH, we find a white one that’s priced above 10gold. You know that there’s a vendor out there that sells it but you don’t know which one. So you bought that white recipe for at least 100 times its actual worth from the vendor.
That’s where Fizzwidget’s Adspace comes into play. When you find a recipe offered in the AH, once you have Adspace, it will display on that item’s tooltip that will describe who and where you can buy the said item.
So instead of wasting gold on that said recipe, you can go directly to the source and buy it way cheaper that its Auction House price. Well that is if you have the time to go there. But those looking to saving some gold or looking for ways to make some will definitely thank Gazmik Fizzwidget for his innovation.
Let’s say you’re an Engineer and you saw Schematic: Adamantite Rifle in the AH for 20gold. When you have the Adspace add-on, you’ll know that you can buy this schematic from three vendors for only 8gold. That a savings of 12gold for you.
There are some points to remember when you use Adspace. First, most recipes of interest are sold in a limited supply such that you might chance upon a recipe that you want in the AH and learned from the add-on that it’s available from a vendor. But once you’ve arrive at the vendor, you won’t find it from his inventory. Don’t complain to Fizzwidget about this bug because it isn’t one. Chances are someone got to it first. What you should do is camp that vendor and hope it respawns soon.
Secondly, there are some items that need a minimum requirement before you can buy them. In some cases you are required to complete a quest first before you can even interact with the vendor. Adspace doesn’t indicate the requirements needed, rather it only list where you can buy one.
Lastly, Adspace list only vendors from your own faction and neutral vendors as well. There are some recipes that are only available from one side, therefore don’t be surprised if you don’t see any vendors of a recipe in the AH. Chances are it’s available from the other faction or it’s a world drop.
Adspace might not be as complicated as the Auctioneer but it can be a vital tool in your quest for WoW gold. Try it today and see how it can greatly improve your earning capabilities.
