I’m sure a lot of World of Warcraft players are wondering where it’s best to farm gold. WotLK, however, hides many places where you can go and simply fill your inventory with the most valuable resources and items, and then sell them to the Auction House. Do you want to discover for yourself some secret places in Northrend where you can make tons of gold? Here are some points of interest on the Northrend treasure map.
1. Snowdrift Plains – Storm Peaks. Especially for engineers, this is a great place to grow gold. WotLK has brought a new skill to engineers, rescues, and Snowdrift Plains hides many golems that can be salvaged for expensive engineering pieces like overcharged capacitors or volatile triggers. Additionally, the dwarves at this location drop Relics of Ulduar, items used to increase reputation with the Sons of Hodir. Players often purchase these reputation items because the Sons of Hodir faction does not have a tabard, so you cannot improve this reputation by eliminating Heroic Instances.
2. Hidden Hollow – Ice Crown. Even the name of this place suggests the fact that it is a secret place (LOL). It is a small cave located below Onslaught Harbor, in the west of Icecrown. The mobs in this cave are all elite, but with a decently equipped character you should have no problem killing them. They drop a pile of frostweave cloth. Since these mobs are elite, they have a better chance of dropping blue and epic gear, and they also drop higher amounts of money than regular mobs.
3. Icecrown Citadel – Icecrown. Well, this isn’t exactly a secret spot, but since you can earn more than a couple thousand in just 1-2 hours here, it’s worth mentioning. So what can you grow within ICC? Mobs are impossible to play solo here, so you’ll just have to put together your own raid and reserve the BoE items for yourself. You don’t even have to kill all the bosses. At least one BoE element should drop from the mobs in the first quarter of the instance.
I really hope you take advantage of these places and qualify for cash fast. Also. There are many other great places to grow gold. WotLK can be a very profitable side of World of Warcraft where you can make money, all you have to do is find the one that perfectly suits your play style.
