If you’re a level 50 Skinner and wanting to earn tons of WoW gold then you should try going to Stranglethorn Vale and grind on the Mistvale Gorillas. These mobs are great sources of Heavy Leather. Most of the mobs are found at (32,66) and their level ranges from 35 to 42. These gorillas would go down easily if a level 50 is hunting them down.
At level 50 you would not be getting any XP from these mobs but you will not be going here to level. Your objective is to farm for gold. This would be an easy task because the Mistvale Gorillas drop Heavy Leather at a rate of 85%. Not only that, you can skin the gorillas for Thick Leather as well.
An hour’s worth of farming could get you at least 120 Heavy Leathers, 30 Thick Leathers, a couple of green items, and gems as well. The Mistvale Gorillas would also drop vendor trash such as Gorilla Fangs and Coarse Gorilla Hairs. I also got around 20 Large Fangs that could be sold at the Auction House as well. All these could bring in lots of gold for you.
If you’re an Herbalist, you can farm for herbs in this area as well. There are a couple of herbs that spawn in this area as well. These days, herbs are best sellers because of the demand for Inscriptions. If you’re a Skinner and an Herbalist then this spot is just right for you.
The Mistvale Gorillas might not be dropping any gold or cloth but their leathers are worth the time spent farming these mobs. Heavy Leather is sold for 20silver each and Thick Leather for 30silver each. The bonus here is the Large Fangs which sells in the Auction House for 1 gold each. These are used by Blacksmiths to craft several armors. For my hour’s worth of farming, I got around 150gold in the process.
So if you’re looking for an easy way to make gold in the World of Warcraft then going to Stranglethorn Vale and grinding on the Mistvale Gorillas is the way to do it. Although in a PVP server, you must be cautious because STV is gank city. Try to schedule your farming during off-peak hours. In a PVE server you don’t need to worry about being killed by the other faction. Try this grind today.
