TGIF – Low Level Leather Farming

It’s nice to mix things up sometimes. There’s plenty of gold to be made just by farming high level or end game zones and mobs. But sometimes you can make coin by working over the old school zones. People level so quickly that they often don’t spend very much time in the zones, and miss out on some lucrative gold making opportunities. Take stacks of leather, for example. I still see medium leather selling for a small fortune. People don’t bother farming it because they just don’t want to spend the time. I’ve let skinning lapse on many leveling characters for that same reason. If I only would have taken the time to stop and smell the roses, or in this case gut and skin the animals, my character would not only have had adequate skinning skills but a nice pile of gold on top of it.

Let this be a lesson to you – a sharp knife can make you money, regardless of your level.

TGIF – Gold Farming Like the Pros

Aug 29

Posted by Donny Rokk

The Gold I Find. Quite applicable today, since it is pretty much about finding gold. On mobs. That I kill. Repeatedly.

I almost feel guilty about posting this video. There’s no secret location here, and no surprise reveal. In fact, I think I may have posted a similar video to this in the past. The location being farmed is well-known to farmers (not Halfhill farmers, but they’re already got a sweet location for gold). It’s popular, easy to get to, and with a Potion of Luck it can be pretty lucrative.

There’s two reasons I’m posting this video. One, the author does a very good job in explaining what makes the spot valuable. Two, he gives some insight in using this pre-90 as a potential XP spot, with all the pros and cons included.

Like I said, this is a popular location. Umren, a gold-making mogul on Twitch, also uses this spot for farming Guo Lai Keys. Here’s a guy who is committed to making gold, and goes into detail about swapping to dead servers for farming. Gold, tips, and a wicked looking hat.
