World of Warcraft Gold Farming Guide

By Travis Jenkins

This gold farming guide is meant to provide you with a list of ideal locations to pursue your gold farming, according to character level.

There is a common misconception that gold farming is best pursued by high level characters, but this is not true. While the gold earned per hour may be highest for level 80 characters, many low level characters often find themselves in serious need of gold. That is why gold farming makes sense for characters of all levels, and is a sensible activity to engage in to take a break from regular game play and acquire some much needed gold.

Listed below are some popular gold farming spots.

Character Levels 12 - 20

Westfall - Coordinates: Around 32, 33 - Kill Defias Trappers for linen cloth. The good thing about this location is that the Defias here spawn much faster than elsewhere, so you can stay in one spot and keep killing mobs. Sell the linen cloth you pick up at the auction houses for some quick gold.

Skinning, Herbalism, and Mining - These are the best professions for lower level characters to make some quick gold. It doesn't matter if these professions fit in with your character, since you can change them later when your character is higher level. An hour going through Elwynn Forest is all that is required to get some good gold with these professions. The herbs or ore you collect can be sold at auctions houses for good prices.

Player Levels 40 - 60

Stranglethorn Vale - Coordinates: 44, 45 - Crystalvein Mines has mobs that drop some good items. Sell what you pick up at vendors, and green items should be sold at the auction house.

Tanaris - Coordinates: 72, 44 - Go to a place called Lost Rigger Cove. The pirates there drop a lot of silk and mageweave.

Levels 60 - 80

Winterspring - Coordinates: 52, 43 - The mobs wandering around the lake drop a good amount silver as well as sellable items.

Felwood - Coordinates: Around 41, 20 - Head over to Jadefire Run, kill the mobs, and sell the runecloth they drop at auction houses.

Eastern Plaguelands - Coordinates: Around 28, 85 - Kill the Mossflayer Zombies. They can be taken down pretty quickly, and the runecloth they drop sells well at the auction houses.

While this gold farming guide will help you find good spots for gold farming, it is not meant to be comprehensive. Serious gamers may want to consider gold guides for further tips on making gold. - 32500
