Please take into consideration that this info is subjective to change once classic wow is released. Blizzard can modify the game and some of the old knowledge get outdated. Nevertheless, i have faith in "recreating the authentic vanilla experience" and I believe 90% of the info shown on this channel will stay.
Last year I made something similar... giving out some tips on how to obtain enough gold to acquire your mount at lvl 40 but apparently some people though it was a bit vague. So today we're going to have a different approach to this subject using time, math and patience.
I'm going to show you specific locations to grind, how to prepare, average gold/hour and why sometimes questing is not the answer. So lets get started.
Our first stop will be in Eastern Kingdoms, swamp of sorrows hunting the ferocious swamp jaguars, the recommended level for this is anywhere between 35 and 39 depending on class and current gear. This is the level range when people start questioning that they won't have enough gold for mount and spells. The reason why we go for jaguars is because of their abundance in spawn points and loot table, also they give a satisfying chunk of experience.
Regarding the loot table there are 4 items that will consistently drop.
Long Soft Tail, Bristly Whiskers, Large Fang and Wicked Claw.
The Long soft tail has 64% chance to drop, stacks in 5 and goes to vendor for 8.06 silver.
The Bristly Whiskers has 18% chance to drop, stacks in 10 and goes to vendor for 7.33 silver.
The Large Fang is a crafting material used in various leatherworking and alchemy recipes such as barbaric bracers and Rage potions, also in the enchant beastslayer, but will get into that later.
Wicked Claw is used in 2 important recipes. LionHeart helmet and Wolfshead Helm, both best in slot for plate and feral DPS, in case the market is over-saturated you could always vendor them for 5 silver.
On top of those you will get green BoE's and the occasional blue BoE or 12 slot backpacks.
I'd like to point out that spending some time grinding at low level might not be a bad idea. It might look that you're losing exp or falling behind.... but to be fair you're just setting a smooth path ahead of you because getting the mount at lvl 46 is not the same as getting it at 40... and all the time spent grinding will be recovered.
I hope this approach is more satisfying than trowing out some known tips and if anyone gets mad for revealing some secrets I have one thing to tell you:
"It's only game, why you hef to be mad?!"

One year since we posted this video. 120k views, wow. Thanks for watching and sharing guys. You might want to check the new gold grind guides we made recently.

Great work man, you should make a guide for odd ways to make gold too! Like outside of the box methods that are slept on!

I worked out the math on this. From 39 to 40 you can make 13-15g farming jaguars if that is all you do. Not as lucrative as video says, but helpful if you start early.

Hey, Frost. I have tried this grinding spot recently on classic at 37 lvl warrior with WW axe and want to update some info. I have grinded for two hours with average 80 kills / hour with skinning. After two hours i got the following drop: 1) Long Soft Tail: 30 x 8.06 s = 2.41 g 2) Bristly Whisker: 10 x 7.33 s = 0.73 g 3) Large Fang: 8 x 0.75 s = 6 s 4) Heavy leather: 140 x 1.5 s = 2.1 g (AH: 140 x 2.2 s = 3.08 g) 5) Thick leather: 30 x 3 s = 0.9 g (AH: 30 x 5 s = 1.5 g) 6) Wicked Claw: 1 x 30 s (AH) = 0.3 g Therefore, in total i got 8.08 g only. It equals roughly 4 g / hour. On the other hand, the most income has come from skinning instead of drop. From my point of view there are two reasons: 1) Drop rate on WOW:Classic is lower than on private servers 2) Drop rate on private servers was not proper according to vanilla. I personally rely on this one. Anyway, Thank you for this guide. If you don't try then you will never know.

@@reggiestockton8166 i've got better options now, so i will tell u one of my spots i used: thousand needles the harpie cave. yes, those harpies who silence u all day. not the best spot for casters, but that's great for everyone else cause u will be alone most of the time. no mages allowed. if someone gets there for the quest just offer your help cause it will spawn ~10 harpies and alone he will be fked. there are iron ores in that cave too, so if u are a blacksmith u will get even more gph. u will get ~ 1g raw gold per h, 2-4 gold from grays and whites selling to vendor (one of the whites u will need for darkmoon rep, so it may be worth to not vendor them), greens and maybe blues if u are lucky, 10-30 wool cloth, 40-80 silk cloth which are 40s per stack if u are converting them with first aid and 10-30 iron ores if u are blacksmith. best spot for me back then. but it's not hard to find those spots. just look around and have in mind: humanoids are normally the best to farm cause they drop cloth and more green/blue items than others. /edit: i got 40s per iron ore using AH, that's huge, but that was only possible cause i sold iron belt buckles for 20s (1g per stack). u get two belt buckles for 1 ore. so 10 iron ores was like 4g.

Maybe we can talk more in-depth and share more secrets there in a small group so other veterans won't hef to be mad ;)

Watching your classic tips as I've just subbed to vanilla classic and levelling a mage. Planning now for when I can start aoeing mobs for the mount at 40.

[@MrFullbladder]

I remember back in the day I got my mount at 40 by doing solo SFK runs. There's some BOE blue drops there that Twinks like. I did a few runs, got the blues and then sold them on the AH. Took about three or four hours, sold within a couple more on the AH and I had my mount. I bought my mount on my hunter by buying the limited spawn recepies from vendors that are in concealed, or out of the way spots. Another way I used to make money in Vanilla was doing solo SM amoury runs and DCing the blues for small radiant shards and selling those on the AH.

[@Kiltzombie]

I watched these videos when classic released and I'm rewatching now that I'm playing Turtle wow. I did the hyena grind today. Three packs with a level 36 druid. Pretty easy, got about 16 gold in two hours. I am using the leather for LW. Thanks for all your videos!

[@MajkaSrajka]

As an alchemist (mostly mid-tier), it pained me a lot seeing all these large fangs sold to the vendor lol. They are not maybe extremely valuable, but in a lot of cases people simply don't want to carry items that stack to 5 or simply bother with them, so their value is often in equalibrium between item price on AH and how much people care to carry them. If you are in a place with mailbox but without AH, you can make a deal with some alchemist and COD it or something :P

[@basillah7650]

he is on a private server so every item is vender trash

[@Geraduss]

I knew the music was familiar, your using Gothic3 soundtrack! Nice.

[@shroud4269]

Pretty good, paused at 3:49 so you might mention something in the next few seconds. These cats have a greet loot table but theres another way to make money as well. I'm trying to be as vague as possible bc I don't wanna say anything else in case people try to take my secret farm spot but I'll say cats are prob one of the best mobs to grind in the game

[@empire0]

A good place for level 30+ is in Tanaris, level up your fishing and hit the shore and fish the debris pools. They can drop junk boxes with cloth and items that you can sell for good money on the AH. Takes awhile to level up fishing, but I could make 10+ gold an hour through that. I had well over 100g when I hit 40.

Tyrs hand was a great grind spot for gold. Another grind spot he did not say that makes a lot of gold and non elite mobs is the birds from Deadwind Pass. They drop trash which goes for prices like those certain trash drops from AQ40. You can farm them fast as you do a circuit and you can make quite a bit of gold. Recommended for people if they aren't geared enough to do Tyr's hand fast enough.

[@goaway5297]

Swamp of Sorrows jag grinding is a big thing on Northdale. Very little ganking, and when it does happen, the ganker tends to regret it. Just make sure you have an exit plan if a 60 catches you at any of the nodes. If they're your faction, they tend to be passive aggressive about it. If they're the opposite faction, they tend to eschew the "passive" part. One good thing about leveling a rogue is there's no better class to flip the bird and get the fuck out of there. I'm worried that this implicit non-aggression pact will be lost on the official Classic servers with an influx of new players who haven't been ... socialized ... yet.

I farmed swamp jaguars for 30 minutes on my 38 shadow priest, Zandalar Tribe EU RP/PVP. My farm took place on a thursday between 15:30-16:00, ie. not in prime time. In these 30 minutes I managed to kill and skin 40 jaguars. My kill speed might not have been very high - but I found that irrelevant as spawn times were nowhere near as abundant as in the video. My profit for *30 minutes* were as follows: Leather and skins: 61 s 50 c 6 long soft tails: 48 s 90 c 1 bristly whisker: 7 s 33 c 3 large fangs: 3 s (AH) 1 green BoE: 15 s *Total = 1 g 35 s 73 c* Equalling an underwhelming *2 g 71s 46c pr. hour*

[@XavierreWPB]

I can confirm that after an hour of grinding on the jaguars (with skinning) I made about 5 gold this counting the two green drops that I vendored. LvL 38 warrior managed to kill around 115 jaguars + 10-12 spiders and two crocs in one hour. A bit more that half of level XP wise (like 65%).So if you tolerate grinding over dungeons/ questing I guess it's a good alternative but gold wise in classic wow it's not. You make more gold both in questing or dungeons.

[@tillervanilla8563]

This does not work at all. 80% of the mobs does not drop anything. It's all different in real classic compared to private servers, yeah the whisker is 18% droprate, but It's only 18% IF SOMETHING DROPS in the first place. I got loot 23 times out of 115, ca 4g per hour Firemaw, Horde.

I've never payed the full price for my 40 mounts, always had some help with gold

[@Zenn3k]

How to pay for level 40 Mount: Train fishing, power too at least 250 (which requires Nat Pagle quest), catch and sell Oily Blackmouth, easy 10g+ per stack. Also train cooking, power to 300. Catch Nightfin, cook, and sell Nightfin Soup, easy 30-40g per stack. Pay for mount in maybe 3-4 AH sales. Can accomplish that in a week, tops. I'm doing this on Kronos III and have gone from zero skill in both, to both maxed out and 250g richer (after buying my mount) in literally 1 week of effort, and I was grinding and running dungeons in that time as well, not just cooking/fishing only. Fishing is the most lucrative way to earn gold in the game.

[@Frostadamus]

Yuo, fishing can be truly amazing.

[@dogtags2010]

Yeah on a fresh server economy you won't make anywhere near those amounts. For example I'm on lightshope the oily blackmouth stack of 20 sells for 12-15g but on the brand new fresh server silverhand the same stack sells for 40s. Brand new economy where no one has 100s of gold means these fish while can be profitable much later on are worth next to nothing at the start. I saw the rare twink rogue dagger "assassin's blade" which normally sells for a few hundred gold on the new server for 5g.see what I mean
