V. Low Level Gold Strategies

Grey Items

Believe it or not there are some grey items that are valuable. Here is a list of the low quality items that are used in Darkmoon Faire quests. The higher the monster is in levels, the more chances it has to drop one of these items. But note that for example, not all bears drop Torn Bear Pelts. For more info, check out allakhazam's item lookup.

Fishing

Professions are a great way to make gold at a low level but, there are also many other ways for a lower level character (lower than 20) to make gold. If you chose a fishing profession there are numerous ways to make lots of gold off of this. Firstly, it is recommended that you get the fishing bot. This will be a big help in fishing, just leave it running and you don’thaveto sittherebeing bored.You can download by Clicking HERE. There are also some helpful tutorials on Youtube that will aid you in setting up and using this bot. Click HERE to view them.

Okay! Now that you have the fishing bot figured out its time to catch some valuable lewt! The next few steps will give you some easy to find and extremely profitable fishing locations as well as which fish you want to be on the lookout for!And don’t worry aboutyour fishing skill. Unlike other fishing spots these spots only require a low fishing skilllevel.So you can stillbesuccessfuleven if you aren’tvery skilled!

- For Alliance you can use the fishing bot to fish off the coast of Auberdine for Oily Blackmouths. Auberdine is a night elf village located along the north western coastline of Kalimdor within the Darkshore zone. Typically this zone is idea for level 10-20 characters and a great low level fishing spot! For more information on Auberdine visit: http://www.goblinworkshop.com/areas/auberdine.html

The best location within Auberdine to fish is next to the NPC Gubber Blump located at the coordinate (35,46). When fishing make sure to purchase a shiny bauble from Gubber for 45 copper. This item will increase your chance of catching these Oily Blackmouths. More information on Gubber Blump can b e found HERE. I used the bot for a day on a Night Elf Shaman and got 40 stacks of Oily Blackmouths which I then sold for 500 gold! Firefin Snappers are also another good catch in this location! Both will make you a good amount of gold!

- For Horde, we use a similar method and the fishing bot, but we use it in Wailing Caverns or the oasis outside which has the highest drop rate of 14.68%. The entrance to this cavern is located at the coordinates (46,36). For more information on the wailing caverns CLICK HERE. For a map of inside the Wailing Caverns CLICK HERE. What you should focus on are Deviate Fish which happen to sell even better than Oily Blackmouths. In addition, you are more likely to catch these faster than the Blackmouths!

00034.jpgLight Feather Farming in The Barrens

Another Horde or Alliance gold strategy thatdoesn’trequirefishing is to farm Light Feathers off of Plainstriders in The Barrens. This item drops very often and sells for about 2 gold a stack (depending on your server). While it might be difficult to farm them with both The Horde and Alliance around it still makes you a good amount of cash! The recipe for Savory Deviate Delight also has a high drop rate from these guys which can be sold for much more depending on yourserver’s economy! So from these two items alone you can make allot of cash!

00035.jpgBlood Elf Bandit Masks

Blood Elf Bandit Masks are a great way to make gold right now! Alone, using this technique I made all the money I needed for my mount in just 3.5 hours! This strategy requires farming Blood Elf Bandit Masks from the Blood Elf Bandits in Azuremyst Isle. Because these units are stealth they can be hard to locate. When farming their items you might want to create the following macro: "/target Blood Elf Bandit" and make sure to spam the macro near a spawn point on the island. Keep in mind that these items have about a 3-14% dropchancewhich isn’ttoodarn bad if you ask me! For more information on the Blood Elf Bandits CLICK HERE. This strategy is available to both Horde and Alliance players however, for the Horde to access this location you would need to sneak onto the boat from Auberdine in Darkshore to Valaar's Berth on Azuremyst Isle.

Start your farming run by heading south and west from Exodar to spawn point #1. Visit each numbered spawn point in order. Make the macro “/targetBlood”,putthemacro icon on youraction bar,andspam it as you move through each spawn point. The bandits will then appear on your targeting ready for you to kill! Unless there are others farming the same route you can expect to make each run in about 15 minutes. Here are some exact locations to find Blood Elf Bandits.

1. (27,51) Look at the pillar with a purple diamond on the top of it. A little to the right of the tree next to it is where they will be.
2. (32,61) At any given location.

Defias Trappers Farming

This is another awesome spot for Alliance or Horde! The Defias Windmill in Westfall is literally lined with gold and crawling with Defias Trappers. These guys have an extremely fast (the fastest re-spawn rate of any mob in the game!) re-spawn ratesoyou won’twastetimewaiting around. The coordinates to this location are 31,34. Linen Cloth drops are a whopping 35% and the money you make off of it is excellent for your level! Along with some of the green items and nets they drop, this is a must farm location for any character level 12-20. This spot can also be used to grind for fast experience. What could be better than making tons of gold and gaining massive experience all in one? Nothing!!! Besides maybe having Pamela Anderson as your girlfriendJ…
