If you want to start farming gold in WotLK, the best to start with are the rare resources that Northrend can offer. Of course, depending on the professions you have, you may or may not get certain rare resource. In that case, since the resources I’, going to talk about are always on high demand, you can buy them from AH and resell them for higher prices, when the time is right.

So, what are the best resources for farming gold in WotLK?

Titanium Ore.

You need 450 mining skill to pick up this resource. Every Titanium Vein usually contains more than Titanium Ore. Crystallized Air, Water, Fire and Earth, and also green and blue gems can be found in each Titanium Vein mined. Jewelcrafters can prospect Titanium Ore 5 at the time to obtain green, blue or epic gems. Also, by prospecting Titanium Ore jewelcrafters can obtain Titanium Powder, which can be used in a quest specific to the jewelcrafting profession. The best places to gather Titanium are Icecrown and Wintergrasp.

Frost Lotus.

Gathering Frost Lotus is a good way of farming gold in WotLK. These rare herb can be found by picking up any other herb in Northrend. The only zone in Northrend where Frost Lotus can be found as herb, not picked up by gathering other herbs, is Wintergrasp. You need 450 herbalism skill to pick up the Frost Lotus nodes in WG, though. Important to know! Frost Lotus shares the spawning cooldown with the Frozen Herbs in Wintergrasp.

Arctic Fur.

This is the highest level animal hide which can be found in Northrend. As soon as you have the skill required to skin the beasts of Northrend, you can find Arctic Fur by skinning any beast. Unlike the other two resources I mentioned above, Arctic Fur has quite a low drop rate. I never was able to get more than 3 per hour. Anyway, if you’re out farming gold in WotLK via skinning, aiming to get Arctic Fur, it’s a good idea to grind on beasts higher than level 75. They never drop Borean Leather Scraps, only Borean Leather and your farming will be more effective.

No matter which professions you have on your character, you will always make gold in WoW by selling the resources I mentioned in this report. However, gathering isn’t the only way of making gold in this game. The elite players have come up with many outstanding gold making methods so far. Therefore, you have a lot of options for farming gold in WotLK, so always choose the one that fits best to your character and play style.
