The true lazyboy's guide to gold farming: 1. Selling portals as a Mage 2. Dancing on a Mailbox as a Female Night Elf 3. Offering "services" at the Goldshire Inn 4. Begging for Gold 5. Being Asmongold

[@goncalofreitas4808]

Nr 5 makes it the best comment on this video

[@MrLazyleader]

Back in Vanilla I only had a level 10 undead priest. I earned silver by dancing on the mailbox. Then I invested that silver on the auction house to make money. After a few months I owned about 70% of all items on the auction house. Only then I created a hunter which I leveled to 60.

[@samimermer1982]

You forget yelling about opening lockboxes atop the ogrimmar bank ad a rogue

[@WeedSmoker69]

i once sold my body at the Goldshire Inn for like 100 wool, 100 silk and 40 linen. 10/10 would sell my body again

[@admdiegosampaio]

OMG. The gold beggars were a plague....

[@ThePandJ]

thanks for shortening the wait time for classic release! keep up the good work

[@Vlaakster]

This kind of content is so useful as well as being entertaining. Thanks for doing this Punkrat.

[@zacharytaylor1655]

Loved the vid! When I'd farm SM Cathedral there were herbs that spawned all over the courtyard. They would also respawn when you when out to reset. Good times.

[@Ingeb91]

You know we like to do it raw with the elementals man. You know. Great video as always.

[@lonmeasley752]

Helpful video!👊 The elemental *essences* in are where it's at! Especially Essence of Air (silithus) which is used to make the best Agility weapon enchants: Enchant Weapon - Agility and Enchant 2H Weapon - Agility! The recipes come from the Timbermaw hold rep, and I was able to make tons of gold selling these enchants even until a few expansions in (but not so much anymore, though Crusader still sells like crazy in BFA)!

[@Aragashia]

Indeed, I farmed Essence of Air in Silithus in order to afford my first ever epic mount in vanilla. Was quite a grind (well, at least I thought so back then), I believe they sold for around 15-25g a piece at the time.

[@t7dashcamsweden840]

How to save time: Autoloot

[@philippr6107]

Also use the faster autoloot of Leatrix+ ;)

[@autistusmaximus8040]

IF you farm shadowfang keep for twink items dont put autoloot youre gonna have to destroy so many things lol

[@matthewsaxby9643]

@RickTheRedBrick because some people find it fun.... You answered your own question

[@TheSpacecatShow]

Haven't seen the video yet... but know already that it will be worth it. Love your way of creating content.

[@MrBudbubba]

Hearthglen holds a special place in my heart. It was where I got my first world epic drop. Krol Blade.

[@RexxReviews]

Thanks for your videos , watching your channel gave me incentive to make my first wow tips video. Keep up the great work.

[@cagrsenoz8787]

Thank you for this video, to be honest I was not quite sure what Im gonna do with my Warrior when classic comes out. I was wondering where and how can I farm gold with Warrior and you informed me very well, thank you keep up with the good work! 🤘🏻

[@aotearoaaudio]

another great vid. lots of stuff that isn't always covered. PART TWO PLEASE!

[@ollep0lle]

I am truly looking forward to the material and gold farming once the epic grind to 60 is over!

Top 10 classic add-ons

[@gullywood5688]

Your videos are growing on me, good job Punkrat !

[@cyclopsboi]

one of my favorite things to farm in vanilla was the pages of the Green Hills

[@Xerocell]

To add on for the grey items from mobs, the turtles in hinterlands are great farm too. 1g per 10 turtles if they drop their grey item. Plus you are right next to a city(horde) so you can repair vendor easy and mail items or even fly back to Undercity quickly.

[@derbessere]

Due to Scarlet Monastery there is a surplus of silk cloth. From my experience, apart from rune cloth, there was often a lack of wool cloth in Vanilla.

[@Draddock]

Mageweave is often the most expensive cloth I think.

[@Punkrat]

Ya mageweave usually a good 1

[@ikhbjhbkm5]

@@Draddock Runecloth was the highest price in vanilla. It seems like it is/was garbage on private servers however because of smaller more hard core playerbase and, do the popular private servers give away / sell bags? Runecloth was often 2g per stack during Vanilla. Runecloth bags were big business.

[@jojo_everyday943]

Love the video, I am currently doing the rogue pickpocketing trick in BRD. I've made 600g in 3-4 days, so I'm pretty soon there in terms of the epic mount :) Love the music in the vid!

Very useful guide, thank you

[@philipelliott6592]

Tyr's Hand was the go to place for my guild to farm crusader enchant recipes in vanilla. Can confirm I got mine there way back when.

[@Jitterzz]

The Classic community is so legit, the content creators are also classy. Really enjoying the content, Punkrat!

[@uhhbaseddepartment2914]

is there even a retail community at this point?

[@Jitterzz]

VOTE YES ON NPC VOTING RIGHTS REMOVAL ACT 2020 I guess Taliesin and Evitel viewers? I have friends who still play it, but I just don’t have the same level of enjoyment as they do.

[@dannylight7022]

Classy are people who minxmax everything and are toxic to those who just want to chill?

[@SwoleBenji]

Best farm for cloth is tailor -> green -> d/e -> AH. Since enchant mats are 100% needed by everyone everywhere and has a zero cost listing fee. Also enchanting is the 2nd least used profession (Blacksmithing being the rarest.)

[@curiousfishie]

Love the DEing bank alt concept 💜

[@mattmorrison7895]

Just the video I needed. Now If only I wasnt too lazy to watch it

[@bobbins5037]

Another Rogue stealth spot (although I think it's added in a later patch) is Razorfen Downs. The chests there can reward a variety of lvl 30ish rare daggers which can sell for 5-10g each and if you're lucky, the lvl 40 epic dagger Gut Ripper. Alternative spot is farming Blasted Lands for the quest items for the 1 hour consumables used for raids. Selling them on a raid day could be profitable, especially the Buzzard item due to their low spawn locations.

[@veng3r663]

Thank you VERY much for all this helpful & detailed information..!

[@vincentvanhal3891]

Like your work! Keep up the fun!

[@jonathynreed9376]

tyr's hand has a rare that drops crusader in one of the towers in vanilla.

[@skrabio]

Farmed and split 3x Eye of Shadow with my priest friend back in the day. Many guilds bought them up, sometimes just knowing it was important but not specifically why. Was definitely worth the time spent - it paid for everything we everything we ever needed.

[@Xylarxcode]

Man, every day I watch videos like these and make notes and bookmark handy sites in preparation for vanilla and every day I get more antsy about it not being here yet. It's so close now yet still dangling just out of reach and it's slowly driving me crazy, lol.

[@BENTLEY1981]

I was a miner and herbalist on my pally, I did the jadefire run for at least 4 hours a day. Easy way to get around 200 to 300 gold per day back then.

[@chob_2916]

I used to farm Eye of Shadow solo with my hunter. I got a lot back in the day made some pretty nice amount of gold.

[@kneev90]

We farmed with 5 People yesterday, 10 Minutes = 2 Eyes, 1 Black Lotus and 2 Arcane Crystals. Easy :D

[@breckenpeter5343]

[@johnbaca80]

And here I am farming spiders In Redridge for Spider's Silk. Lol.

[@dofuskamasezdofus9155]

Thanks for your Insight sir looking forward to more videos

[@kokorochin01]

Nice content as usual. As previously stated, a top 10 addons video would be nice yeah.

[@vikidivik5427]

a very good idea! if he sits down there, then please also take useful addons for professions into the video.

[@SamSam-bg6ok]

There is already tons of these videos on youtube ... From a guy that played on Nostalrius I'm waiting for better content. The videos still good tho but ye .. this is just another chanel in the "hype train"

[@fa1rbanks]

Anyway vanilla addons (working on private servers atm) won't be compatible with the version of classic wow

[@MrJormun]

random weapon drops (grey/white) can sell for decent amounts of gold on vendor as well

[@crazynick96000]

Watching this video made me thankful they are adding auto loot into the classic version. Or at least adding the toggle where it's always auto loot.

[@sergtrufanov5565]

Shift+rmb works on classic, no?

[@kimheinoful]

@@sergtrufanov5565 It does. Was hurting my eyes all that click looting

[@crazynick96000]

@@sergtrufanov5565 it does. It's just a quality of life thing. I've played with it on for so long it would take adjusting my muscle memory to go back to shift right clicking.

[@nathanielnizard2163]

for lvl60 there is a place north in eastern plagueland where mobs are kind of squishy(with some sort of warlock-like undead that has seemingly negative armor lol) and drop 5g items regularily and tons of cloth on top of tier 2 rep token. Definitely a good spot for specs that suck at farming and players who need rep without doing scholomance. In un'goro the fire elementals drop splitable elemental loot(magma core or something), it has a few minutes cds but for alch it can be something you can do while dungeoning too, it's basically creating money over time, fire resist pots will never go down. Silithus farming is the best place once open I think but be aware of tension in pvp servers.

[@damienkvanda301]

I remember when assassin's blade dropped on my 2nd SFK run in classic and I had absolutely no idea its value, we all rolled greed and a hunter won it saying he was going to save it for a twink. Lesson learned

[@kylemccall6177]

As funny as this sounds, I used to be stacks and stacks of Runethread off the vendor and put it on the AH. People would actually buy it for double what I bought it off the vendor for. Though admittedly I doubt this will work in Classic, because I'd say overall player knowledge of the game is much higher nowadays.

[@alendzehverovic2853]

depends where the vendor is, laziness is a luxury people will pay insane prices for

[@xxedelbrockxx]

Can confirm this works =C

[@adamhaywood4808]

I seem to remember farming the carrion grubs things in EPL they drop Laval Acid that sell quite well

[@ErikKubica]

Yeah i do this, noone is killing those except for quest. on my realm it sells for 6g in few hours its sold

[@sonnibetoni6009]

time to buckle down for that pendulum of doom grind again!

[@cembalaban7086]

Turtles in Hinterlands ! definitely great farming spot. They drop shells that can be sold for 45s for 5 stacks. Almost every turtle drops that item :)

[@finstor3386]

I made money earlier on by grinding the elite scarlet guys in the plaguelands. I leveled from like 56-60 doing nothing but killing those guys. You dont make much money, as its slow going killing 2 level 60 elites solo in green and blue gear. However, the purple mage staff drops there. I got 2 and sold them for 1k each. I was set for a very long time. They were worth so much, I never equipped one myself.

[@wayneevans9061]

ty for helping me decide bs was a great choice and as was watching this video ty

[@ybloodyangely]

Over at Tyr's Hand, Crusader did drop but only from the Scarlet Archmages. But I think it was added to their loot table after vanilla. I had always farmed Crusaders over at Tyr's, I never did the tower in WPL.

[@devriesp9000]

In Vanilla, Tyrs Hand used to drop the Crusader Orbs needed to do the Crusader Weapon Enchant

[@SycosenMerihem]

Reminds me of spending way too much time on Thottbot outlining a leveling path of grinding humanoids to get my gold for Mount(s).

[@jaednhowlar2359]

Dont forget on the coth farm that some cloth becomes rare at certain points in a server's life. sometimes its wool, sometimes its mageweave.

[@aconnagan3680]

Wool always seems to be in demand. I think its bacuse theres a quick jump between wool and silk. Where as silk pretty much has no value.

[@danforbes4513]

tyrs hand does not drop crusader but the is a epic bow that can drop it used to sell for around 90g back in the old days.

[@notbatman5156]

So many cool things to do , thanks 🍻🍻

[@swoons631]

Gratz on 20k subs >

[@Opethjunky613]

That southern WS spot also has a ton of rich thorium. Thats where I go to mine solo.

[@Thy013]

The place I like to farm is the turtles in the hinterlands it works best if you're horde. Both sides can farm there.

[@bobbym2654]

Someone on reddit confirmed the drop rates are far higher on private servers then classic for the jaguar grey drops. Could still be worth doing, but not as lucrative as private servers were.

[@carlcard7]

Thanks for this guide Punkrat, it will definitely help me out :) I subbed cos I’m scared of Chuck Norris :P

[@ggd2mf603]

This is great, you didn't reveal my favorit mindless farming spot.

[@zepho100]

GGD2 MF share it, mindless sounds good!

[@Limzone]

Nice guide i like it I could hit 54 gold only in barrens at level 24 warrior in light's hope only buy grinding and looting .... I find it fun to level up grinding

[@Zwiebel4]

@Thelondonbadger Fishing pools won't be in the first content phase though.

[@FullCanoe]

@@Zwiebel4 well playing beta and stress tests, there sure were pools around - might change on live.....

[@Xariann]

I'd love a part 2!

[@foomp]

Tyr's Hand mobs in vanilla did drop Crusader. I used to farm them solo on Warlock. Whether or not it's a better drop rate or if it was like that since the beginning of vanilla (and not a later patch), I don't know, but that's part of how I got my money for the epic mount.

[@DerHody]

Only spellbinders drop Crusader. There are 6 in the tower. But there is another one patrolling south of the tower. The vendor in the winterspring demon gorge does not exist in Classic. He comes with he dungeon set 2 Patch.

[@robertwells3797]

owned!

Funny how a fully epic geared warrior with AQ40 gear still manage to almost die by pulling too many low level mobs or how a T2 Rogue still gets low by fighting lvl 30s elite.

[@torum6448]

Ye, unlike today where you can just get on your fresh 120 and plow through any non BFA raid, really hate that they did that I still remember doing vanilla naxx in TBC, and even with a raid of 28 or so people in full BT gear it was still quite something

Used to farm crusader formula back on my rogue. I was an enchanter. Spent over an hour once and then went back to farm again and got it in 10 mins.. Rarely ran into anyone else farming it.

[@pinkwarrior2117]

It's worth noting you can also skin the worgan in SFK.

[@sopguden]

Farmed rock elementals in the south east of badlands for ages to get epic mount. Drops quite a lot of grey items with good value.

[@acrophis]

Also stockpiling Elemental Earth for the AQ patch.

[@AhmadKhan-ly9nc]

1:42 Literal bind on pick up, you can kill the mobs and have a healer pick it up maybe

[@MSK120]

An apparently good farming spot is the ogres in Deadwind Pass. I remember a lot of the Chinese gold farmers in Vanilla would farm there. They drop a lot of silver as well as everything else that humanoids drop, and it's a very low traffic area

[@Matthew-uv6gl]

It isn't that good. I can only imagine they go there just because it is low traffic. Yeah, ogres drop cloth, silver, there is a chest and chance at enchant recipe. But it really isn't any more special than any other generic area. I have to imagine getting corpse camped cuts into profits. And nobody goes out of their way to go all the way to Deadwind to see if there is a gold farmer to corpse camp.

[@Matthew-uv6gl]

@@DisastrousIntentionally Sure, it will get the job done. Just not all that fast. The only thing I can think other than the location being out of the way is the enchanting recipe. I suppose it opens up the opportunity to put it on the AH for way more than it is worth for people who don't know better or have the gold and don't want to farm for it. Though the market would be rather niche.

He had been farming crusader for quite awhile. It was the December before BC hit. If the guy who posted them remembers and reads this. TYVM, you made me a rich noob.

[@Redstoner34526]

What I used to farm was as rogue I would go to Lbrs and go down to the place with like those fire guys and you could pick off 4 of them per run and occasionally they would drop a really rare item worth 300 gold

[@Skauffen]

Awesome job !

[@kanrox4233]

I can't wait for the more simplistic yet superior world of warcraft!

[@Lunatic108]

In Vanilla it 100% dropped in Tyrs hand, we farmed it there back when as a 5man team and split the profit, was super easy if you had a good group and you could get one recipe every day or two.

[@jasonreinhold107]

I been farming brightwood cove , near darkshore I'm a Skinner/ enchanter that's a great spot for lvl 25 to lvl 31 toons

[@theunknownm]

he actually told us everything we need to know, from personal experience some of those farms do give like 50-80g in one hour... when my shaman was lvl42 I made 1k gold in 12 hours without any problems and my farming spot is included at his video :D

[@MaybeTiberius]

I know my words dont hold some online proof for it but yes the mobs at tyrs hand do drop crusader. at least they did and should now. because i remember so well i was farming that location in vanilla for crusaders

[@blackview1000]

Hey what scroll combat text do you use and thx for all the videos keep it up

[@George-xb5ey]

i used to farm crusader at tyrs hand, i had atleast 3 drop in vanilla on my rogue.

[@FullCanoe]

Retail vanilla only had 1 spot for crusader, Heartglen! And according to the old Thottbot, it was only at the first tower going up to heartglen you could get it. As the realm most decked enchanter, with every glove enchant from AQ, 15 and 25 agi to wep as well as spellpower and +healing 2h - AND numerous crusader formulas dropping from that exact spot... i feel confident saying: "No you didn't" Not in vanilla (pre tbc) at least.

[@giffeswe]
