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
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.
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.)
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.
@@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.
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.

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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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
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.
As a horde player, when you enter Blasted lands from Swamp of Sorrows, stay left. There is a mineshaft that is HUGE and filled with high 40s to low 50s mobs. I say horde, because they are friendly to alliance, and thus alliance cannot kill them. Beware though, if you are on a pvp server, alliance can go inside and hunt for horde in there. (I leveled up horde on a pvp server in vanilla days, so at least back in the day, alliance did check the mines, and any alliance reading this may go check it from time to time. If they do find you and fight you, you'll not only have to fight them, but also try to avoid the mobs in the area). If you are solo or have a partner with you for faster kills, you will not have any shortage of mobs (as the place is HUGE), and I am pretty sure there will be nobody else in there fighting the mobs. To the best of my knowledge, there is no alliance quests that send you inside these mines either, so unlikely you will see any alliance in there on a non-pvp server (unless they are just looking around to see if there is anything for them, which the answer is a resounding NO!). As it is Blasted Lands, it has a chance at the mobs dropping the green fragments or blue spheres, which can be turned in for a random green or blue BoE, respectively. This is on top of the chance of these mobs dropping greens/blues/(epic?) on their own. The most common cloth that they drop is Mageweave. There will always be a market for this, with people leveling up characters all the time, or just dropping an old profession and picking up a new one (mainly Tailoring). Tailoring and First Aid being the primary consumption for this cloth. There will also be people wanting to buy some once 60, to get the Wool, Silk and Mageweave donations out of the way, so they can turn in a lot of Runecloth for the main city reps. www.wowhead.com/news=279923/wow-classic-spotlight-the-ahnqiraj-war-effort If nothing changes from the opening in Vanilla days, to that in Classic, Horde will need a LOT of Mageweave (250,000) to make regular (non heavy) Mageweave bandages to turn in. So if these mines is where you want to go to make money, you COULD save all or part of the mageweave cloth you get (send it to a bank alt) and wait for AQ opening event, part of phase 5 (I would recommend NOT turning them into bandages yourself, as it is very time consuming, and you may change your mind about saving them, or need the cash sooner rather than later, where the bandages would make you any money outside of these event). People will be wanting to push this event (resource vacuum) part out of the way as fast as possible, and people will throw hundreds if not thousands of gold at buying whatever is put on the AH to turn in. (All of these turnins is the only other way than turning in massive amounts of Runecloth, to gain fast rep with the 4 city factions). So you could make a KILLING selling nearly anything on the list (from the link above) after this is added. (Runecloth went from selling for 1.20g per stack, to 5g+ a stack after this was added in Vanilla on my server, Horde side).
For people watching this video, keep in mind that - at this point in the games cycle (5 years in) - non-dungeon farms are going to be contested and nearly impossible on crowded PvP servers.
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
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.
@@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.
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"
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.
Speaking of crusader enchant recipe; back in vanilla someone accidentally posted 2 of them for 99s each instead of 99g I bought my friend who put up with my noob ass requests and helped teach me to play one and myself the other. 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.
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 what you talking about? This was never meant to "owned" Punkrat. He is great guy who creates great content. I just corrected him and thats it.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me
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.
I think we both understand the concept of "lazyness" differently. For me, being lazy doesn't mean to spend hours farming something, but doing one or another thing for high profit.
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
Here are my comments on Winterspring elite farming (primarily from a mage point of view). Aside from the two Hederine Slayers at the entrance, the other spawns are random between the three types. The slayers are probably the easiest to farm for a mage or hunter (kite, kite, kite) and thus popular. The Manastalkers are easy if you have enough space to kite, because their mana burn ability has a 30 yard range, so if you step outside that range every time they try to cast the mana burn (and you don't have an interrupt for it), you avoid the mana burn entirely (they will do the full cast, which will fail). I remember doing the initiates during Vanilla, but it was towards the end and with better gear and possibly the water elemental cooldown. Right now, I don't have the gear to solo them, but I suspect a few items of resistance gear might help. If that area is too heavily farmed or you don't want to venture in and the entrance twin slayers are spoken for, I would suggest checking out Mazthoril and the cobalt wyrmkins there. They drop mature blue dragon sinew, which is an epic item for the hunter bow quest and is possibly just as highly valued as the eye of shadow. I was farming these at level 56 and this is a great place to farm if you have skinning. If you have tailoring, the mageweavers drop a robe pattern that you may find useful. It's a fun area, especially in the the cave with patrols and fresh spawns dropping down from the ceiling. The gold drops are pretty good and the mobs have less health than the demons, so you get more kills/hour. Great places to practice kiting for soloing dungeon trash and other elites. Not exactly lazy mode farming though in my opinion. That tiny chance of a really valuable epic dropping every time you loot adds a nice "gambling" element. Mobs in both places hit quite hard, so you have to stay alert.
The ultimate lazyboy goldmaking is leveling twinks to level 35 then living of passive income of profession cooldowns, especially transmutation and mooncloth cooldowns. The earlier you do the twinkleveling, the more passive income you will have. It's the ultimate long-term investment you can do in vanilla. Bonus points if these twinks are warlocks and you can tactically place them for your guild to summon players to world bosses.
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
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.
I'm one of those idiots that makes a ton of gold from buying and selling on the AH. That is the ultimate lazy man's method. You just need that initial capital and you can treat it like the stock market! SOOOO fun!
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.
Many different ways to make gold. -Professions will net you the most consistent gold. -Dungeons aoe farming is a good way to make gold with a group of guildies. Just divide up the gold / loot to be sold and clear dungeons in minutes with raid gear. -stonescale ells sell well and if you start classic wow later on, it will be the fastest way to your level 40 mount. Like 100 eels will be more than enough when guilds are clearing bwl. -Finish all questlines. High level kill quest are a decent way to net a quick gold on new servers. Many different things you can do. Not even going to talk about the mad lads who will have multiple accounts for farming/ raiding just to make thousands of gold a week.
a little hypocritical of you. you don't seem lazy to me at all lately. i can hardly remember a channel that generated so many subscriptions in such a short time. i've been on it for a few months now and really watch every video. you make great content, in such short time intervals and torture me. Still 4 weeks until the release. help me!
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.
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!
texts are not in classic yet however you do get 1 rep per kill if you wanna be exalted by the time phase5 comes out, to get ahead on crafts or vendor items or something
Strange, I used to farm Hearthglen on my rogue for hours and hours but never got a crusader weapon enchant drop. Might have been terrible luck but I always though it only dropped in tyr's hand. I farmed hearthglen just to feel like a badass, taking on 1-2 elite mobs at a time with my shiny MC/BWL epics.
Seems generally believed that the Spellbinders outside of Hearthglen are the only ones that drop Crusader. There's the handful in that tower he shows in the video then two more patrolling the path on the way there. There are none of those mobs inside Hearthglen itself
I'm probably gonna pick pocket, and loot chests in SM dungeons for a while. This way I take gold straight out from the game rather than the economy which would still be growing.
Swamp Jaguars in Swamp of Sorrows is a no-go. Tried farming them in Mirage Raceway server to get my 40-lvl mount and it seems that Blizzard has modified their loot tables and now they drop nothing, about 80-85% of the time. No whites, no greys, no nothing. I literally spend hours there and I managed to fill 9-10 slots in my bags with stuff? And that was WITH the skinning profession. I ended up leaving the area and farming basilisks in southern Mirage Flats, in the Thousand Needles.
In classic, you always do farm for the AH. You never farm mobs, only maybe a rogue does farm mobs by pickpocketing. Things like essence of fire (Un'Goro), solids and stuff like these are interesting, depends on AH prices what makes most sense to farm. In vanilla, you farmed 1 hour essences of fire and got maybe 10 out --> 50 gold in AH. Play a rogue and you always can farm 50g an hour easily^^.
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
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.
unfortunately the Cenarion hold rep is not going to be around for about a year, cloth sells at vendor price so the primary objective would most likely be gray items, and those demon elites are way harder to kill then a lazy person would want.
Horde only: mine in northeast blasted lands. I had a friend you went there for mithril, thorium and cloth drops. The mobs are friendly to alliance and they can't mine the ore nodes so alliance never go there which can make a big difference on pvp servers.
@KK C the nodes don't track on the mini map, you get no mining icon when you mouse over them. I know this because towards the end of vanilla we changed factions and I asked my friend why he wasn't in his favorite spot. He said it didn't work for alliance and I checked it out myself and verified it.
Ok, here we go. So, for phase one: Jadefire demons camps will be farm 24/7. If you are solo, you are dead. Same for crusader recipe. Demons form Winterspring are really tough on start because you dont have good gear. SFK farm on start are bad ideabecause people will gear only they main charecters. Pick Pocket farm for rogues is ok ofc, but we are not rogues. Farm elementals arealso ok but be prepare for nonstop ganking too, even without honor system. Farming beasts is ok and just default shit. You will farm low lvl dungeons only if you want Twink items or some spec items like Blackstone Ring. Farming DM on 60lvl are not agood idea lol.
Dude, mobs in Heartglen and Tyr's Hand were elites. And mobs in Darkwhisper Gorge had about 50-60k health (also elites). Yea, you can kill them in good gear, especially if you had some cc, but it took a few minutes to kill one, if you soloed them. Actually, there were many outdoor elite mobs even on lower levels in classic wow - dwarves in Thandol Span for example, or mobs in Stromgarde Keep.
Exactly . Hearthglen mobs ARE ELITE You can't go there and wtf pwn em, prívate servers maybe put those mobs non élite ... Of all this , as a warrior not decked out in aq-40 gear (as shown in the video ) You can only do the elemental farming.... Sad. And ppl sayibg this is a good guíde. IS NOT
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
During Vanilla that Crusader enchant only drops off the casters by the tower and by the camp to the south along that road is another one that patrols, it's only the casters, I have spent literally hundreds of hours farming both spots, The caster on the road has dropped 5 crusader enchants for me so far.
Me back in the vanilla day: "How the f'ck do people get any real money?!?!????" Me in modern WoW: "Where the hecc is all this money coming from?" Me in Classic: "Oh look I'm broke again, feels good to be back" I never bothered with gold farming or finding ways to make money, it's a real survival mode without making much money
study the aution house prices of your server, take notes to compare prices at quiet or rush hours, buy underprice stuff n re-sell it.....so many people have no idea how to price items, even to the point of selling them at vendor value! you don't even need to be high level as it can be done with just a few gold when starting. low level items are good because their deposit fees are tiny.
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.
Might be good to specify which phase these farms are for. For example the epic quest weapons for hunter/priests aren't available in phase 1. On that thought, farming the elite blue dragons in winterspring for the hunter equivalent to eye of shadow.
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.
i will never forget this, back in the day ( classic ) there was a mage farming that recipe for hours....and i just came strolling by, killed him and the mob he was currently attacking, andthat mob hat the crusader formula... ( first drop on the server ) ... i posted it on the server forum and the dude was raging
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
Can you do a video that explains all of the terms like "Aq40(sp?)". I can look up ones I hear but can't look up ones I'm not aware of. Would be really nice to have a single source for wow terms for people that havnt played in 10 years and didn't go that hard in the past, as well as for new players in general.

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.
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.
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.
For people watching this video, keep in mind that - at this point in the games cycle (5 years in) - non-dungeon farms are going to be contested and nearly impossible on crowded PvP servers.
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
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.
@@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.
Nice content as usual. As previously stated, a top 10 addons video would be nice yeah.
a very good idea! if he sits down there, then please also take useful addons for professions into the video.
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"
Anyway vanilla addons (working on private servers atm) won't be compatible with the version of classic wow
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.
Speaking of crusader enchant recipe; back in vanilla someone accidentally posted 2 of them for 99s each instead of 99g I bought my friend who put up with my noob ass requests and helped teach me to play one and myself the other. 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.
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.
owned!
@@robertwells3797 what you talking about?
This was never meant to "owned" Punkrat.
He is great guy who creates great content.
I just corrected him and thats it.

one of my favorite things to farm in vanilla was the pages of the Green Hills
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.
We farmed with 5 People yesterday, 10 Minutes = 2 Eyes, 1 Black Lotus and 2 Arcane Crystals. Easy :D
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me
@Brecken Peter instablaster :)
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.
me: Running dungeons with my guild and somehow winning everything on Greed, BUT nothing on need
I think we both understand the concept of "lazyness" differently.
For me, being lazy doesn't mean to spend hours farming something, but doing one or another thing for high profit.
Then you'll have no gold in classic this is the laziest it gets
@@joelhodoborgas these examples are no different than any other gold-making examples/tips, so its a clickbait
@@DisastrousIntentionally my mind is so powerful that dominating a market using alts takes no effort at all.
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
Very useful guide, thank you
random weapon drops (grey/white) can sell for decent amounts of gold on vendor as well
You know we like to do it raw with the elementals man. You know. Great video as always.
And here I am farming spiders In Redridge for Spider's Silk. Lol.
Best classic wow vids hands down.
Punkrat gets $5 every time he says [Demonic Runes] in his video.
Here are my comments on Winterspring elite farming (primarily from a mage point of view). Aside from the two Hederine Slayers at the entrance, the other spawns are random between the three types. The slayers are probably the easiest to farm for a mage or hunter (kite, kite, kite) and thus popular. The Manastalkers are easy if you have enough space to kite, because their mana burn ability has a 30 yard range, so if you step outside that range every time they try to cast the mana burn (and you don't have an interrupt for it), you avoid the mana burn entirely (they will do the full cast, which will fail). I remember doing the initiates during Vanilla, but it was towards the end and with better gear and possibly the water elemental cooldown. Right now, I don't have the gear to solo them, but I suspect a few items of resistance gear might help. If that area is too heavily farmed or you don't want to venture in and the entrance twin slayers are spoken for, I would suggest checking out Mazthoril and the cobalt wyrmkins there. They drop mature blue dragon sinew, which is an epic item for the hunter bow quest and is possibly just as highly valued as the eye of shadow. I was farming these at level 56 and this is a great place to farm if you have skinning. If you have tailoring, the mageweavers drop a robe pattern that you may find useful. It's a fun area, especially in the the cave with patrols and fresh spawns dropping down from the ceiling. The gold drops are pretty good and the mobs have less health than the demons, so you get more kills/hour. Great places to practice kiting for soloing dungeon trash and other elites. Not exactly lazy mode farming though in my opinion. That tiny chance of a really valuable epic dropping every time you loot adds a nice "gambling" element. Mobs in both places hit quite hard, so you have to stay alert.
Formula: Enchant Bracer - Superior Strength on Deadwind Warlock.
Golden Pearl in Azshara.
Golden pearls are not useful until +healing enchants hit the streets though!

tyr's hand has a rare that drops crusader in one of the towers in vanilla.
"in general, killing humanoids can be quite rewarding" -punkrat 2019
"I was human.. I mean I am human.." - Mark Zuckerberg - Punkrat
The ultimate lazyboy goldmaking is leveling twinks to level 35 then living of passive income of profession cooldowns, especially transmutation and mooncloth cooldowns.
The earlier you do the twinkleveling, the more passive income you will have. It's the ultimate long-term investment you can do in vanilla.
Bonus points if these twinks are warlocks and you can tactically place them for your guild to summon players to world bosses.
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
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.
I'm one of those idiots that makes a ton of gold from buying and selling on the AH. That is the ultimate lazy man's method. You just need that initial capital and you can treat it like the stock market! SOOOO fun!
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.
Many different ways to make gold. -Professions will net you the most consistent gold.
-Dungeons aoe farming is a good way to make gold with a group of guildies. Just divide up the gold / loot to be sold and clear dungeons in minutes with raid gear.
-stonescale ells sell well and if you start classic wow later on, it will be the fastest way to your level 40 mount. Like 100 eels will be more than enough when guilds are clearing bwl.
-Finish all questlines. High level kill quest are a decent way to net a quick gold on new servers.
Many different things you can do. Not even going to talk about the mad lads who will have multiple accounts for farming/ raiding just to make thousands of gold a week.
Whats the Battle text addon you use?
The place I like to farm is the turtles in the hinterlands it works best if you're horde. Both sides can farm there.
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.
a little hypocritical of you. you don't seem lazy to me at all lately. i can hardly remember a channel that generated so many subscriptions in such a short time.
i've been on it for a few months now and really watch every video.
you make great content, in such short time intervals and torture me. Still 4 weeks until the release.
help me!
Im a work horse lol. Not lazy at all, but in certaib ways in wow i am : )
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.
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!
texts are not in classic yet however you do get 1 rep per kill if you wanna be exalted by the time phase5 comes out, to get ahead on crafts or vendor items or something
Strange, I used to farm Hearthglen on my rogue for hours and hours but never got a crusader weapon enchant drop. Might have been terrible luck but I always though it only dropped in tyr's hand. I farmed hearthglen just to feel like a badass, taking on 1-2 elite mobs at a time with my shiny MC/BWL epics.
Because crusader dropped from the scarlet enchanterd from Tyr's hand, Hearthglen doesn't give you shit for crusader formula.
Seems generally believed that the Spellbinders outside of Hearthglen are the only ones that drop Crusader. There's the handful in that tower he shows in the video then two more patrolling the path on the way there. There are none of those mobs inside Hearthglen itself
Ya. Only spellbinders in hearthglen drop it.
This is great, you didn't reveal my favorit mindless farming spot.
GGD2 MF share it, mindless sounds good!
I'm probably gonna pick pocket, and loot chests in SM dungeons for a while. This way I take gold straight out from the game rather than the economy which would still be growing.
Either way you are adding gold to the economy
Swamp Jaguars in Swamp of Sorrows is a no-go. Tried farming them in Mirage Raceway server to get my 40-lvl mount and it seems that Blizzard has modified their loot tables and now they drop nothing, about 80-85% of the time. No whites, no greys, no nothing. I literally spend hours there and I managed to fill 9-10 slots in my bags with stuff? And that was WITH the skinning profession. I ended up leaving the area and farming basilisks in southern Mirage Flats, in the Thousand Needles.
In Vanilla, Tyrs Hand used to drop the Crusader Orbs needed to do the Crusader Weapon Enchant
In classic, you always do farm for the AH. You never farm mobs, only maybe a rogue does farm mobs by pickpocketing. Things like essence of fire (Un'Goro), solids and stuff like these are interesting, depends on AH prices what makes most sense to farm. In vanilla, you farmed 1 hour essences of fire and got maybe 10 out --> 50 gold in AH. Play a rogue and you always can farm 50g an hour easily^^.
Haven't seen the video yet... but know already that it will be worth it. Love your way of creating content.
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
I am truly looking forward to the material and gold farming once the epic grind to 60 is over!
1:42 Literal bind on pick up, you can kill the mobs and have a healer pick it up maybe
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.
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.
Your videos are growing on me, good job Punkrat !
I seem to remember farming the carrion grubs things in EPL they drop Laval Acid that sell quite well
Yeah i do this, noone is killing those except for quest. on my realm it sells for 6g in few hours its sold
unfortunately the Cenarion hold rep is not going to be around for about a year, cloth sells at vendor price so the primary objective would most likely be gray items, and those demon elites are way harder to kill then a lazy person would want.
Horde only: mine in northeast blasted lands. I had a friend you went there for mithril, thorium and cloth drops. The mobs are friendly to alliance and they can't mine the ore nodes so alliance never go there which can make a big difference on pvp servers.
@@ghostg6107 I think it would be too easy. There are no hostile mobs so you could just run circles collecting all the thorium and mithril you want.
@KK C the nodes don't track on the mini map, you get no mining icon when you mouse over them. I know this because towards the end of vanilla we changed factions and I asked my friend why he wasn't in his favorite spot. He said it didn't work for alliance and I checked it out myself and verified it.
God I almost forgot about all the Mote Of Fire grinding at elemental plateau and the PvP battles I had there.
I have Vietnam flashbacks at those Chinese hunters there ...
Ok, here we go. So, for phase one:
Jadefire demons camps will be farm 24/7. If you are solo, you are dead.
Same for crusader recipe.
Demons form Winterspring are really tough on start because you dont have good gear.
SFK farm on start are bad ideabecause people will gear only they main charecters.
Pick Pocket farm for rogues is ok ofc, but we are not rogues.
Farm elementals arealso ok but be prepare for nonstop ganking too, even without honor system.
Farming beasts is ok and just default shit.
You will farm low lvl dungeons only if you want Twink items or some spec items like Blackstone Ring. Farming DM on 60lvl are not agood idea lol.
Dude, mobs in Heartglen and Tyr's Hand were elites. And mobs in Darkwhisper Gorge had about 50-60k health (also elites). Yea, you can kill them in good gear, especially if you had some cc, but it took a few minutes to kill one, if you soloed them. Actually, there were many outdoor elite mobs even on lower levels in classic wow - dwarves in Thandol Span for example, or mobs in Stromgarde Keep.
Exactly . Hearthglen mobs ARE ELITE You can't go there and wtf pwn em, prívate servers maybe put those mobs non élite ... Of all this , as a warrior not decked out in aq-40 gear (as shown in the video ) You can only do the elemental farming.... Sad. And ppl sayibg this is a good guíde. IS NOT
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
@Thelondonbadger Fishing pools won't be in the first content phase though.
@@Zwiebel4 well playing beta and stress tests, there sure were pools around - might change on live.....
Bro... BRO! ... you have some of the most informative videos, but at the same time you are blowing all the good secrets! :P haha!
During Vanilla that Crusader enchant only drops off the casters by the tower and by the camp to the south along that road is another one that patrols, it's only the casters, I have spent literally hundreds of hours farming both spots, The caster on the road has dropped 5 crusader enchants for me so far.
Me back in the vanilla day: "How the f'ck do people get any real money?!?!????"
Me in modern WoW: "Where the hecc is all this money coming from?"
Me in Classic: "Oh look I'm broke again, feels good to be back"
I never bothered with gold farming or finding ways to make money, it's a real survival mode without making much money
study the aution house prices of your server, take notes to compare prices at quiet or rush hours, buy underprice stuff n re-sell it.....so many people have no idea how to price items, even to the point of selling them at vendor value! you don't even need to be high level as it can be done with just a few gold when starting. low level items are good because their deposit fees are tiny.
Thanks for your videos , watching your channel gave me incentive to make my first wow tips video. Keep up the great work.
Best lazy way is controlling auction house prices
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.
Might be good to specify which phase these farms are for. For example the epic quest weapons for hunter/priests aren't available in phase 1. On that thought, farming the elite blue dragons in winterspring for the hunter equivalent to eye of shadow.
That would be "mature blue dragon sinew" Also not available until phase 2 -Azuregos. AFAIR
They absolutely are already available.
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.
Would add in the Plaguebats in Eastern Plaguelands for the steady Vendor grey items. Early gear should be around 40g/h without counting professions .
Wow...what compelled you to spill that info?
@@FullCanoe more Wpvp for me \[T]/
That southern WS spot also has a ton of rich thorium. Thats where I go to mine solo.
i will never forget this, back in the day ( classic ) there was a mage farming that recipe for hours....and i just came strolling by, killed him and the mob he was currently attacking, andthat mob hat the crusader formula... ( first drop on the server ) ... i posted it on the server forum and the dude was raging
This is lazy for you?? Farming all day ...

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
Can you do a video that explains all of the terms like "Aq40(sp?)". I can look up ones I hear but can't look up ones I'm not aware of. Would be really nice to have a single source for wow terms for people that havnt played in 10 years and didn't go that hard in the past, as well as for new players in general.
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 :)
Fel cloth is gonna be so heavily farmed, it’s in every single gold making video. Gonna be a mad house
Yeah pretty obvious too since the farm spot is well known and you need it for mooncloth, which every character is going to want.
Get level 60 quick 👅
@@Ayayron_e3 yep planning on rushing to 60 and grinding the satyrs from 47-50. Gonna have so much felcloth its gonne be coming out of my ears.
Then farming carrion devourers and stashing the larval acid till phase 2. Probably throw some blasted lands grinding as well and stock up on the mats for roids etc. Grinding on your way to 60 can net you so much gold. Surprised more people dont do it
@@begaking4304 I had a similar idea for post phase content, mainly farming items that I know will be in demand for darkmoon Faire.
@@begaking4304 they're rushing to get 60 but they'll probably get there so fast that by the time they're 60, they've had so much down time not farming stuff that those spots will be already taken.
