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)!

Not that I’m against grinding the occasional mob, but I normally do it as part of a quest or to obtain a particular item that I know will sell well on the Auction House. By combining questing with grinding, you’ll level faster and make wow gold with greater ease.

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.

The third tip I have is not so much a money maker as a money saver. Resist the urge to upgrade your equipment by buying from the auction house while leveling up.
As you level through World of Warcraft you will loot and get quest rewards that are great for leveling.

Jadefires in North West Felwood and Elementals in North West Sithius both drop good items that can bring in a lot of gold. But with some of the places, it is best to wait until you are at least level 55.

So there you have some of the best places in World of Warcraft to farm gold. The more you play, you may discover a few places of your own. Gold is what makes the game go around, so happy farming!
