Here’s some gold farming tips that I use every time I go farming. I don’t tend to go out farming quite as much as I used to. Now days when I go out farming it’s to test an area to see how effective it is for farming. I’ve already made a butt load of gold using the Hit Gold Cap in 7 Steps Guide.
The first thing you want to do is have a plan. Make sure you know where you’re going, and what you’re there to loot. But even more importantly make sure you’re farming something valuable for your server. Every server’s economy is different. So start off at the Auction House and do a scan of what items are currently selling for above average prices. Then take a look in the Secret Gold Guide or whatever you use and see the best place to farm for that mat.
Next thing you want to do is empty your bags. I know it sounds obvious, but Cpt. Obvious wears a cape! I’ve forgotten to do this before, and it sucks. Also if you’re new to the game, upgrade your bags to the biggest ones that you can afford as soon as you can. You can save some gold buying the mats from the auction house and having a Tailor craft them for you. Frostweave bags are pretty cheap now days on most servers.
The next thing I like to do is turn on some music. Sometimes farming can get really boring, but music helps get you in the mood to kill kill kill, loot loot loot. Another way that I’ve found to help with the boring battle of farming is to join the Looking for Group, or Random Battleground and get a break every now and then.
This works best if you’re a dps class, because your que times are horrible anyway. Find a good mat, and grind while you wait on your dailies. Get into a habit of doing it everyday. It makes a lot more gold than daily quests, and after you do your dailies on one toon, you can switch to the next and do the same. If you have a few dps classes you can easily bring in big gold just farming while you wait to do your daily heroic and bg.
There’s a lot of faster and easier ways to make gold though. Like I said before I don’t ever grind anymore. That’s because I’ve learned how to make a lot of gold with a lot easier methods that killing the same thing over and over again and again. But not everyone knows about these methods. If you follow the WoW School’s: Reaching Gold Cap. It will show you everything you need to know to stop wasting your time with farming, and start really making some serious gold in just 7 steps.
