This is a Gold Grinding Guide that is intended to net you large sums of gold, almost 1,000 gold to be exact, in just a few hours of play time. I will run you through four areas in Northrend that are known to net a large payout. That is 30 minutes spent in each area, not too bad, right? Remember, it is grinding. So if you need to, pop on some music or kill and occasional player every now and then to keep things interesting! Just following these simple steps:
Zone One: The first place you'll be going is to the Frostfloe Cave in northeast Stormpeaks. This is a nice little cave that is pretty much unknown or for some reason very under used and can net a player a good amount of gold. Only pull what you can take, dieing will add to the time we spend on this run. A good thing to know about this cave is that the respawn rate is extremely high. You can have 4 or more people farming here and you'll hardly notice them. Overall this run will get on average, 295g! in just 30 minutes of grinding! It's one of the best spots I know of, but read on to uncover more secrets to farming gold in Northrend.
Zone Two: Next I am going to send you to the Cauldron of Flames in southwest Wintergrasp. Keep in mind that with this area it is important that you're faction (Horde or Alliance) has control of the zone. Otherwise you will not have access to probably the best farming mob that this area has to offer - Flame Revenants. The respawn here is mediocre and you'll be able to clear out the area rather quickly. To help with some down time that you will inevitably have, kill some other mobs while you wait for the Flame Recenants to respawn. Move back and forth between these mobs to be most efficient. This place is a great spot to stay all and all, it's easy to farm with decent respawn times. Overall you'll get an average of 215 gold in just 30 minutes. That's a running total of 510 gold! That is not too shabby for an hour of grinding!
Zone Three: Now we're going to head over to Icecrown. The mobs here are good for money and vendor trash. Depending on your server the Frostweave Cloth could also net a pretty penny. The amount of mobs here is awesome. Literally. There could be 5 or more people farming this spot and it won't put a dent in your progress. Better yet, the mobs are all clumped up! You'll be able to pull large groups of them with ease. All in all, this area is a pretty decent place to farm. The area is nice and the mobs are a little easier to look at for 30 minutes straight! Overall you'll be able to net an average of 245 gold here! That's a new running total of 755 gold in just an hour and a half!
Zone Four: The last place we'll visit in our Gold Grinding - Northrend Edition trip will be the Fjorn Anvil in eastern Stormpeaks. The respawns here are the best out of all the areas that I have shown you previously. The downside, and yes there always is one, is that a lot of people come here to farm gold and items. Its a pretty small area so competition can be fierce. This is hampered somewhat by amazingly fast respawns but conflict will pretty much be unavoidable. Overall you will be able to get an average of 180 gold here. That is pretty good given the circumstances. It's the least netting of the four but changing up in a rotational grind will keep things current and less boring.
In 2 hours you'll be able to gain an average of 935 gold! In no time you'll be happily laughing all the way to the bank. Remember, farming doesn't have to suck. Play around with PVP to keep things entertaining. Put on some music to listen to or keep chatting with friends to help pass the time.
