Before we continue with our impressive, incredible, adorable, awesome, unobvious guide on how to farm gold in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic, we must leave one important note. Each unobvious group or solo method described here can be banned by Blizzard the next day after it’s published for obvious reasons. They do not fall in love with people who break their economy system. But we’re still putting most of them in. If we don’t include unobvious methods to farm gold, our Cataclysm Classic gold farming guide will look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  3. Auction House\u2026 blah-blah-blah.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Of course, we’ve included this part in our World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic gold farming guide because there are some legendary working chains involving combinations of different professions or different mounts for the AH. So without extra introductions, let\u2019s get to the gold farming guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But as usual \u2014 first things goes thirsty. This guide is not a standalone, it\u2019s a part of our starter pack bundle guide, the Cataclysm Uber Compendium!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, even if you hate long introductions and want everything at once, you’re welcome. We’ve collected all the described methods in one table. If you’re a veteran of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and remember the addon from retail days, you’re in for a treat. From this table, you can quickly recall the most profitable ways to get gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also, note: we do not provide information about the average gold\/hour for each method because all of them (even Auction House Arbitrage) require skills and optimizations. Even if our professional farmer can reach about 10,000-15,000 gold with these methods, an inexperienced player might only obtain around 5,000-7,000 in the same routes.<\/strong> So keep this in mind when using these methods!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ok, let\u2019s start from the less obvious method, which requires, grind troggs, to grind troggs. It\u2019s about to grind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note: To make this way to farm something, you need to buy the Potion of Treasure Finding<\/a> to get Tiny Treasure Chest<\/a>. These Chests contain different matts, and gold. Per\/hour you can obtain, up to 50 Treasure Chests, which are about +2-3k gold\/hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Stone Trogg Berserker<\/a>, and the stone Trogg Geomancer<\/a>. What you need to do? Fly to the 21.6\/55.2 coordinates, and view packs of troggs, who are fighting with different creatures. Then just AOE them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"World
    <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Interesting fact. This is not only the best way to farm gold. This is one of the fastest ways to reach from 82 to 85 level, if you\u2019re a Tank. By defeating these troggs, you can reach for about 3 levels in 3-5 hours of chilling farming gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, why you need these troggs? Simple<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Gold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Embersilk cloth<\/a>. For Emberslik Bag<\/a>s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Tiny Treasure Chest<\/a> s. Many of those chests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Green Items.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Some BOE Blue items, which may be sold in the AH.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      You can Sell the Green items for the vendor, or use them for disenchant, and do some enchanting routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Calculations for this method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \"How
      <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      When you’re at max level and have at least blue gear, you can destroy the troggs by optimizing routes. The example is based on a class less prepared for farming, like a protection warrior (due to having 2 charges and heroic leap).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So, you can earn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. About 3-4k gold in cash.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. About 2-3k gold from grey items.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. About 360 stacks (20 per stack) of Embersilk Cloth.<\/strong> It’s better to sell them to your alts if you don’t want to spend time traveling to the capital to sell them on the Auction House.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. About 40-100 chests<\/strong> containing treasures worth around 100 gold per chest (materials + items + gold).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. About 130-150 green items<\/strong> for disenchanting or selling to a vendor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Why is this method so effective? It’s simple: aside from the materials needed for professions, BoEs for the Auction House, and various specific loot, you can reach about 5k gold in cash each hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"How
        <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Mining is an incredibly cool profession in Cataclysm Classic. It’s one of the best gold farming spots, providing raw materials that are always in high demand. Mining Cataclysm ores can net you rare drops like gems and volatile water while you’re treasure finding on effective farming routes. Combine it with Jewelcrafting or Enchanting to craft valuable items like high-level gear, scrolls, and even Truegold for higher prices on the Auction House. With so many valuable resources to gather, it’s no wonder mining remains one of the most profitable professions, even for a seasoned player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
