Cataclysm Classic Gold Farming Guide - How To Make Gold Fast In CATA Pre-Patch

Cataclysm Gold was the essential currency players earned and spent throughout their adventures in Azeroth, as it could be used to purchase new armor, weapons, gems, enchants and other equipment from vendors to incrementally improve characters' power level. It was also needed for learning new skills and abilities from trainers, mounting flying mounts to explore the new high-level areas more quickly, buffs from consumables and guild services, listing items on the auction house, and repairing gear after battles. With the level cap raised to 85 and entire new zones opened up, gold became vital for progressing and customizing characters to face the demanding endgame challenges of Cataclysm through these various money sinks and item/service purchases. Next, let's check Cataclysm Classic pre patch best gold farming locations and dungeons!

Cataclysm Prepatch Best Gold Farm

1. Archaeology

As of right now, many people are leveling the new profession of Archaeology and you could also do this yourself to make a bit of gold.

2. Transmog Items

When you survey around for the different fragments, there's a chance that you will get a green Keystone and these can be sold on the auction house to anyone who wish to speed level this profession. Most of the keystones cost anywhere between 150 and 350 gold each. Two of the best ways to make gold in the game are going to be to join gold tkp runs but also to flip items on your auction house, especially transmog items that can be flipped for a high profit. Farming rare creatures and gathering materials at the same time to increase the gold. You could also be scanning for rare creatures if you're going to level up an all-character in the pre patch. Spend this on these epic gems and flip them on the auction house, this can be purchased as an Alliance player or Orgrimmar as a Horde player.

A quick tip before you purchase any of these make sure to scan the auction house to find the most expensive gem and then spend your honor on these selling transmog items is such a great way to make gold. But it's also RNG as you don't always get any good items that you can sell. Before you start farming dungeons then remember, if you pull enemies and you don't kill them within 1 minute, they will also get a stun ability. Because you probably pull too many, you will also end up dying.

Cataclysm Best Dungeon To Farm Gold

1. Tanaris

The first best Cataclysm dungeon to do is Zul'Farrak which is located in Tanaris. This is quite an easy dungeon and you can pull it simply by mounting it up. One of the main reasons to farm the dungeon is because a lot of the plate items you get in here will also be selling for a high amount, especially if it's either a chest plate or leggings. The items you're looking out for should be Salt Stone and Tyrant’s. Some of these will be selling for the same amount as one wow token.

2. Dire Mall

You could instead head to Dire Mall. Ever since the pre patch went live, you no longer need a key to enter the dungeon or to open the gate.

3. Silithus

One of the other favorite spots is on Silithus. There's going to be many cames where you can also find these creatures. The reason to farm these is because they have a chance to drop items that also sell for anywhere between 5,000 to around 20,000 gold. A lot of these expensive transmog items also have a very low drop chance so you could potentially end up farming here for many hours.

Whenever there ends up being a lot of competition in Silithus, you can swap to the nearby raid in Ruins of Ahn’ Qiral and then start farming this by yourself. In there, you will not have any competition and the good thing is there are so many creatures you can pull. Remember not to overpull as they will also do a high amount of damage. When you're farming transmog items in here, it's going to be important that you don't kill any bosses. If you end up doing so, you will also be safe from the raid and then it's going to be next to impossible to reset all the different creatures in here to continue your farm. We highly recommend you kill every single creature in here and this is because there are going to be different loot tables depending on whatever you're killing. If you end up killing the same creature, you could also potentially end up with many of the same transmog items and this could have a negative impact on the gold that you make. The most expensive item you can probably get in here is going to be Exalted Harness of the Bear.

4. Graveyards

By the time you have to reset, make sure to leave the party as this will take you to the nearby Graveyards. The Graveyards is right in front of the raid and it's going to be a bit quicker to reset the dungeon this way instead of running out. When you have to farm raw gold, you can go to this location in Ice Crown. These creatures are level 80 but if you have some decent gear, you can also kill them in next to no time. The good thing is that there are so many of these creatures stacked together and also many different packs, so you can just fly from one to another one and have next to no downtime. If you post the green and rare items on your auction house together with the club, you're probably making anywhere between 15500 to 2000 gold an hour.
