## Transcript

Welcome back to another video. In this
one, I'm going to be showing you the top
five gold farms to do at the moment for
steady gold from material from items
that actually are going to sell very
quickly. So, let's go ahead and start
off with farm number one, and that is
going to be the farm for the savage
leather. More specifically, we're going
to be farming the baby crocs in. So, if
you don't know this farm, buckle in, and
I'm going to show you exactly how this
works because this one is a banger. This
is a skinning farm, so you are going to
need skinning. And you can expect to get
around 25 to 40,000 gold per hour. So,
first of all, you want to head over to
Alum, and you want to speak to this NPC
right here. And you need to make sure
that you're in the correct basically
zone or phase of. So, you want to make
sure that you're using time travel by
talking to this NPC right here. You'll
get this buff, which is time traveling.
And this means that you're in the right
phase. and you want to head down to this
location right here. Like I said, you
are going to need skinning to do this
farm to make it actually worth doing.
Another thing that you're going to need
is the potion of treasure finding. So,
the farm is located right here in Oldm
right down at the bottom right here.
Now, at this location, you're going to
find a bunch of eggs, and this is where
we're going to be farming. So, once you
see the eggs on the ground, you know
you're at the correct spot. You do need
to have skinning when doing this farm.
And I also recommend having enchanting
so you can disen disenchant some of the
greens. This is very very useful. Now a
potion that I highly recommend using and
you need to use is the potion of
treasure finding. This will allow you to
get tiny treasure chest. And inside of
the tiny treasure chest, you get a bunch
of different cataclysm materials. And
these all pretty much all of them are
used in crafting decor. So the prices of
these are really, really good at the
moment. That's why this farm is so good.
Now, basically what you want to do is
you just want to run over the eggs and a
whole heap of baby crocs will spawn on
you. You kill them, you loot them up,
and then you skin them all. It's super
super simple. And as you can see, you're
going to end up with a bunch of loot.
And the main loot is going to come from
those tiny treasure chests. Inside of
them, you get raw gold and then a bunch
of different cataclysm materials. And
like I said, the price on these are very
high. And obviously, you're going to get
a lot of savage leather from actually
going ahead and skinning all of these
mobs. So, let's go ahead and open up the
tiny treasure chest. And as you can see,
they're all materials from Cataclysm
that sell very, very quickly up on the
regionwide auction house. Pretty much
all your volatiles and your cloths and
everything like that. Now, why I
recommend having enchanting is because
you can actually disenchant all of the
junk transmog pieces that you get for
some extra steady gold, making this a
really, really good farm for steady
quick gold. Moving on to farm number
two, and this is going to be for golden
pearls. So, once again, golden pearls,
they're actually used in crafting decor
with a few new crafts. So the price of
these are really good at the moment and
they sell in the regionwide auction
house as do all of the different
materials that are on this list. So they
come from the big mouth clams. That's
how you get the golden pearls. This is
the loot that they contain. They have a
very very small chance at giving you
golden pearls around about I think a 1%
chance. So you got to open a bunch of
the clams, but the pearls do sell really
well and they sell for a lot of gold.
So, first of all, you want to make sure
that you're using time travel. So, you
want to come up here and you want to
make sure that you talk to this NPC. And
once you do that, you want to basically
say you want to see it before the
invasion. And it will give you this buff
up on the top, which is time traveling.
And this means that you're in the right
phase. So, this is very important to do
at the start because if you don't do
this, you won't even be able to see the
mobs. So, you've got to do that. Then
you fly over to this location right here
and you're going to see a big path of
all these all of these mobs that you
normally wouldn't see. So this is where
we're going to be farming and it's
actually a very good farm. Now you can
do this in a group or you can do this
solo. So golden pearls, this is the main
thing that we're after, but you can
actually sell the clams without opening
them and they do have a good sell rate
and they actually sell on the auction
house. On top of that, you also have a
chance of getting some good openw world
transmog pieces that also sell for a lot
of gold. But as you can see, the pearls
are currently going for anywhere from
like 10 gold up to 30 gold. There's not
many of them actually on the auction
house, but they sell around 432 of them
per day. You can actually sell a decent
amount of the clams if you don't want to
gamble and actually try your luck at
getting the golden pearls from them. So,
I recommend doing this on a druid. And
if you have a speed set, that is highly
recommended. It will increase the amount
of kills you get because there is a lot
of running around that you need to do.
Also recommend using fried bonefish and
any other consumables that will increase
your movement speed. Basically, what you
want to do is you want to do pretty much
a loop around this small area. You want
to make sure that you're killing all of
the naga that are around this location.
So, the big guys, as you can see, these.
And you just want to run around. Make
sure that you loot the mobs and you're
going to be getting a bunch of the big
mouth clams. So, what I like to do
personally is once I farm up a bunch of
the big mouth clams, I throw a few
hundred of them up on the auction house
and then the rest of them I just open
them up and I try my luck at getting
some golden pearls from them. So, as you
can see, you can just throw them on a
keybind and spam the keybind. And as you
can see, we just got a golden pearl
right there. So, that's basically how
this farm works. It's a super good farm
to do and you can actually do it in a
group and it's very efficient. Want to

get back to the video. Moving on to farm
number three. Farm number three is going
to be for cobra scales, and this is a
great farm to do. This is a skinning
farm, so you do need to have skinning to
actually be able to do this. And this is
going to be for TBC skinning. So, what
you want to do is you want to head over
to this location that I'm right here.
You want to make sure that you have
everything that you're going to need for
farming. I recommend using the dark moon
fire water. This will increase your
skinning speed by 15% deafness. So this
will increase the basically your
skinning a little bit which really helps
out. You want to make sure that you're
maxed out on outland skinning and then
you want to head over to Negran at this
location right here at Twilight Ridge.
So at Twilight Ridge there's basically
two sides. So on one side there is the
mobs and then there's a cave and this
will lead you over to the second side of
this location. And on both sides there's
going to be the twi twilight serpents.
And these are the mobs that you are
going to be killing and skinning for the
cobra scales. As you can see, we just
got one right there. And they're
currently going for over 500 gold. Now,
the price of these are always jumping up
and down. It's a great farm. Moving on
to farm number four, and this is going
to be a dual gathering farm. So, you
want to make sure that you have
herbalism and mining for this. And we're
also going to be collecting lumber. So
it's basically a 3in1 farm. So we're
going to be dual gathering and
collecting lumber in Unore Crater. So
this is good for steady gold because
there's a bunch of thorium and from
thorium nodes you actually get arcane
crystals which sell for a lot of gold.
Then obviously you're going to get the
lumber which makes all of this different
decor. Now obviously decor isn't
materials and the majority of these
farms are actually material farms.
However, the sell rate on decor is still
very good and they sell extremely
quickly. So, it's a very good farm.
You're probably going to make around 15k
in just steady gold from the jewel
gathering, but then you're going to have
a bunch of lumber that you can turn into
decor and then you can sell that decor
on the auction house for a lot of gold.
This is one of my favorite farms I've
been doing at the moment. It's very,
very chill and you can make a lot of
gold from doing it. Moving on to the
final farm. Now, this farm is super fun.
We're actually going to be farming fire
lands. So, the old raid fire lands. And
now, the main reason why this farm is so
good at the moment is because all the
different materials that we're farming
from here, they used in crafting decor.
And because it crafting decor is so new,
the prices of the materials are still
very, very good. So, we're going to take
basically advantage of that and do this
farm once again. So, you want to head
over to Firelands. It's in Mount Hydrol.
It's the raid. So, it's very important
that we kill none of the bosses. And
it's also very important that you have
your potion of treasure finding. This
will allow you to get tiny treasure
chest. And I also recommend having dark
moon fire water because you can actually
skin the mobs in here for savage leather
and this sells really well. You also
want to make sure that you have
enchanting so you can disenchant all of
the junk BOE's that you get from here
cuz there's a bunch of BOE's like green,
even purple that are worth like 100
gold. So, they're not even worth
throwing up on the auction house. So,
you disenchant those because you get the
dust and the dust is actually used in
crafting decor. So, pretty much
everything from this farm is used for
crafting decor. So, these items are
selling better than they have for the
last 10 years or so. So, you want to go
ahead and you want to enter Firelands.
And you might be thinking, it's a raid
and you're going to get locked out,
aren't you? Well, no. You want to make
sure that you don't kill any of the
bosses. And it's pretty easy because in
the route that we're doing, you only run
past one boss. So, it's very important
that you do not kill that boss because
then you can't reset the raid. If you
kill none of the bosses and you just
kill the trash mobs, what you can do is
you can actually reset the raid 10 times
within an hour. So, this basically
allows you to farm this on repeat. So,
you want to go ahead and you want to
make sure you just gather up all of the
mobs and none of the bosses. It'll
actually tell you when the bosses show
up just so you don't accidentally kill
the boss. But as you can see, you're
going to get a bunch of items, but the
main gold is going to come from those
tiny treasure chests and also the savage
leather from skinning the mobs at the
start. So, this is a great farm to do.
And there's also some epic BOE's that
you can get from here, like recipes
mainly that are worth a decent amount of
gold. the majority of the BOE gear from
here. It's not worth too much, so you
better just disenchanting it. But as you
can see, there was the boss back there.
Basically, once you get about halfway,
the boss starts doing a loop around. So,
you you don't run into him unless you
like stay still or waste your time. But,
he's a big mob. You'll see him and it's
got a skull. So, you want to make sure
you kill none of the bosses. Then, as
you can see, you want to open up all of
the treasure chests, disenchant all of
the junk BOE's, and that is how you make
a bunch of gold from this farm. You run
out, you reset all instances, run back
in, and rinse and repeat that farm. So,
that was it for the video. If you

these gold farms.
