by Ray Krost

If you are starting out in World of Warcraft and are looking for some great spots to farm gold, you have come to the right place. Gold farming can be a quick way to make some gold, but be warned, it can be monotonous. This article will reveal to you some of the best gold farming places and the best items to farm from these places. So if you are ready, let’s go!

I’m always amazed when reading other peoples posts on blogs and forums when they describe the thumb-breaking methods they use to make a few gold coins in WoW. A typical post always seems to begin with someone’s ’secret’ grinding spot where - at level 70 - they pull a mid-level mob and spend the next hour grinding them into oblivion for a few silver apiece and the occasional drop of a green. Rinse and repeat for the next 8 hours, they advise, and you might have enough gold coin to pay off your bar bill at the Pig and Whistle (Stormwind)!

Second make sure and check all merchants in towns for limited quantity items they sell. This will be shown by a number by the item in the merchant window showing how many of this item they have for sell.

Another good mob to fight is the Plains Creeper spiders located in the Arathi Highlands. These mobs will drop Spider silk about one times in ten. This spider silk is a component in level 19 twink items so it is in hot demand. It will sell for about one gold each. Another benefit to the Plains Creeper spiders is that they are a level 33 and can give you experience points also.

A lot of players don’t know where all the various bind on equip merchant sold items and recipes are and will buy from the auction house.

Head to Tarnaris and look for the Lost Rigger cove located in eastern Tarnaris. You can get to this area by way of a tunnel on the western side of the mountain range. The Southsea Pirates that you will battle are in the mid 40’s range and drop items such as Mageweave cloth, volatile rum and silk cloth. These items can be sold for 2 or 3 gold a piece.

To continue with this example, my Gnome alt used his newly acquired gold wisely and bought and sold a number of selected items from the Auction House and quickly built up his stash to 25 gold coins and a few silver in loose change! Knowing how to work the Auction House in your favor is a big factor in building your stash of cheap wow gold.
