Make Your First 100k Gold in WoW
45sDirectly addresses a common struggle for WoW players with a clear, achievable goal.
▶ Play ClipThis guide provides a step-by-step approach to making your first 100,000 gold in World of Warcraft, focusing on farming old content materials. It covers four different farms: Blasted Lands (Warbear Leather), Firelands (skinning and treasure), Swamp of Sorrows (Felcloth), and Twilight Highlands (Volatile Water and Fire). The guide emphasizes using professions like skinning and enchanting, consumables like Potion of Treasure Finding, and add-ons like LootAppraiser to maximize gold per hour.
The video aims to help players make their first 100,000 gold using a step-by-step guide that doesn't require the latest expansion.
Druids are recommended for farming due to their speed and instant-kill spells, but other classes can also do it.
Learn skinning and enchanting to skin mobs and disenchant green items for extra value.
Kill Tainted Black Bears and other mobs for Warbear Leather, which sells for 70-120 gold each.
Farm in 30-minute sessions to avoid boredom and diversify items for faster sales.
Use LootAppraiser Reloaded with TSM or Auctionator to track gold per hour.
Farming in a group increases gold per hour significantly, but solo is still viable.
Vendor grey items, disenchant greens, and post materials on the auction house.
After 30 minutes, the auction house value was 7,000 gold.
Use Potion of Treasure Finding and Vial of Alacrity. Kill mobs without killing bosses to avoid lockout.
After 30 minutes, the auction house value increased by 7,000 gold to 12,000 total.
Kill Misty Grells for Felcloth, used in old crafts and housing. RNG-heavy but chill.
Felcloth posted for 4.3k gold; overall session was below average due to bad RNG.
In Twilight Highlands, kill water and fire elementals with consumables for volatile materials.
After 30 minutes, auction house value increased by 6k to 14.2k total.
After two hours of farming, 18.2k gold was sold, with 4.6k still on auction house.
Repeat the process about four times to reach 100k gold. Results vary by speed and market prices.
By following these four farms in 30-minute sessions and using the right professions and consumables, you can steadily accumulate gold. Repeating the process about four times should yield 100,000 gold.

13:47[00:00] I know that a lot of you are struggling
[00:01] to make gold, how to get started, and
[00:03] what to do. In this video, I'm going to
[00:05] show you a step-by-step guide on how to
[00:08] easily get started and make your first
[00:10] 100,000 gold. The War Within expansion
[00:12] is not even needed for this guide, so if
[00:14] you don't have that, you are totally
[00:16] fine as well. I'm going to try to
[00:17] include different farms, so you're not
[00:19] getting bored along the way, and also so
[00:21] you get some more knowledge about
[00:22] different farms, so you can make even
[00:24] more gold later on. But, let's begin
[00:27] immediately. So, for this, I recommend
[00:29] you to be a druid, but it is not
[00:31] necessary. However, being a druid is
[00:33] always going to be the best farmer,
[00:36] especially for all farms that has
[00:38] nothing to do with the latest expansion.
[00:40] Druids are fast, they have instant
[00:41] target, instant kill spells, they have a
[00:43] lot of stuff, they have the travel
[00:45] forms, they are just outstanding and
[00:47] best at all different kind of farms.
[00:50] But, if you're not a druid, if you don't
[00:51] have a druid, you don't need to be a
[00:53] druid. It might take you a little bit
[00:54] longer, but it's absolutely not
[00:56] necessary for this. But, the first step
[00:57] for this guide is actually going to be
[01:00] to learn skinning and enchanting. We are
[01:03] going to go to the skinning trainer here
[01:05] in Stormwind. If you are Horde, does not
[01:07] matter, just go ahead and learn
[01:09] skinning. Now, I already have it here,
[01:10] but that does not matter at all. So, you
[01:13] just learn skinning, and we're going to
[01:14] head to the enchanter trainer as well.
[01:16] Okay, so at the enchanting trainer,
[01:18] simply just learn enchanting. What we
[01:20] want enchanting for is basically the
[01:21] ability to disenchant items. We are not
[01:24] going to level any professions in this
[01:26] guide. We are simply going to be
[01:28] farming, but using disenchanting is in
[01:30] some of the farms really, really good,
[01:32] actually. It can multiply the values of
[01:34] the greens by like 20 times, so having
[01:37] disenchanting for this is going to be
[01:38] really, really good. But, after we have
[01:40] learned the profession, we don't really
[01:42] have to worry about them anymore,
[01:44] because it doesn't matter what skill
[01:45] they are, we just need to have them. The
[01:47] first farm that we are going to do is
[01:49] actually located in Blasted Lands. It is
[01:52] located down here in the Tainted Forest,
[01:55] so we're going to head there
[01:56] immediately. Okay, now we are at the
[01:58] location here in Blasted Lands. It's
[01:59] just slightly above the Tainted Forest,
[02:02] located here in the swamp, kind of.
[02:04] Okay, so when we are here, our focus
[02:06] here is to kill a bunch of different
[02:08] mobs, but the main focus is killing the
[02:10] Tainted Black Bear. They can actually
[02:12] drop the Warbear Leather, which is a
[02:14] quite valuable leather that people use
[02:16] to craft old content stuff, and that is
[02:18] what making this farm kind of good. But,
[02:20] I highly recommend you to kill all of
[02:21] the other mobs as well, because they can
[02:22] all drop something useful, and while
[02:24] you're running around, you kind of might
[02:26] as well do it, right? As you can see, we
[02:27] got a Warbear Leather. Right now,
[02:29] they're 120 gold, that is really good.
[02:31] But, I think you will see a price around
[02:32] like 70-80 gold each, so don't expect
[02:35] them to be 120 gold, that is a bit too
[02:37] high. Okay, so when doing these farms,
[02:38] we are going to do 30-minute sessions.
[02:40] Why I'm not doing longer sessions is
[02:42] because usually I can get quite bored if
[02:44] I'm staying at the same location for too
[02:46] long time. So, usually I'm farming for
[02:49] 30 minutes each, and then I'm swapping
[02:51] to a different farm to diversify myself
[02:54] of what items I'm selling at the auction
[02:55] house to get faster sales, but also to
[02:57] not get totally bored of farming. But,
[03:00] you can do it for longer if you want to,
[03:02] but I recommend you to do 30-minute
[03:04] sessions, just you don't get absolutely
[03:06] bored of doing this, unless this is your
[03:08] absolute favorite thing to do in life.
[03:09] But, what we're going to do now is farm
[03:11] this for 30 minutes, and then we're
[03:13] going to check out the next farm. Also,
[03:14] if you'd like to, you can get add-ons to
[03:17] see how much gold you make while
[03:19] farming. What I recommend then is, of
[03:21] course, getting LootAppraiser Reloaded,
[03:23] which is an add-on basically listing the
[03:25] items that you get, so you can see how
[03:27] much you gold you make here when
[03:29] farming. But, for this add-on to work,
[03:30] you need another add-on to act as a
[03:32] price source for this, so then you need
[03:35] either TSM or Auctionator, and then you
[03:38] need to do an Auctionator scan on the
[03:40] auction house as well. I'm going to
[03:41] leave the add-ons in the description
[03:42] below, but I'm not really using any
[03:44] add-ons while farming, just
[03:45] LootAppraiser to see here like kind of
[03:47] how much you gold you make per hour.
[03:49] But, let's go on and farm this for 30
[03:50] minutes, and then we're going to jump on
[03:52] to the next farm. Okay, we're coming up
[03:54] here at the 30-minute mark, and it's not
[03:57] looking that good so far in terms of our
[03:59] gold per hour. But, what I've realized
[04:01] here is that we are actually seeing some
[04:04] wrong numbers on the LootAppraiser, and
[04:06] we will see some higher numbers when at
[04:07] the auction house. What I quickly want
[04:09] to say though, that if you guys see each
[04:11] other farming this kind of farms, they
[04:13] are always better to do in a group. They
[04:15] are fully manageable and doable as a
[04:17] solo player, but if you see each other
[04:19] and you invite each other, you don't
[04:21] have to talk. I know a lot of people
[04:22] don't want to do that, they just want to
[04:24] chill and play, but if you are in a
[04:26] group, you are increasing your gold per
[04:28] hour an insane amount. So, just keep
[04:30] that in mind that if you do it together,
[04:32] you make more gold, but it is still very
[04:34] doable as solo, of course, and that is
[04:36] what we're going to do in this video.
[04:37] But, let's get back to Stormwind and
[04:39] post our items on the auction house and
[04:40] see how much value it's actually worth
[04:42] without having to rely on LootAppraiser.
[04:44] So, let's first vendor everything that
[04:46] we have in our bag, and that's going to
[04:47] result in about 110 gold. We also going
[04:50] to disenchant all of the greens here to
[04:52] increase our value. Some of them has a
[04:54] very, very much higher disenchant value
[04:57] than the what they have in terms of
[04:58] vendor value. I can easily see this by
[05:00] using the add-on TSM, but it is pretty
[05:03] much always worth it to disenchant those
[05:05] greens instead of just vendoring them.
[05:08] So, that is what I did here. I
[05:10] accidentally actually disenchanted one
[05:12] of my trinkets that I wanted to keep
[05:13] that I had from before this video. But,
[05:15] let's post up everything here on the
[05:17] auction house, and we will see how much
[05:18] it adds up to. So, after posting
[05:20] everything, we can see that it was worth
[05:22] 7,000 gold here on the auction house,
[05:24] and it is time to go ahead and check out
[05:27] the next farm. For the next farm, we
[05:29] actually need potion of treasure
[05:31] finding, so we're going to buy one of
[05:32] that, and I also recommend you to buy
[05:35] one of the Vial of Alacrity. It is a
[05:37] vial that gives you a lot of movement
[05:39] speed for 30 minutes. So, having this
[05:41] increases the gold you can make because
[05:43] you run faster, you kill more, and you
[05:45] loot more. So, highly recommend you to
[05:47] check out the Vial of Alacrity every
[05:49] time you farm, because it is really,
[05:51] really good. But, we're going to go to
[05:52] Firelands now, located in Hyjal, and
[05:55] we're actually going to do some skinning
[05:57] and some treasure farming. I really do
[06:00] like this farm, because it is very, very
[06:02] easy to do, and I'll show you right here
[06:04] how to do it. The raid is located right
[06:06] here, and you can run it 10 times per
[06:09] hour if you want to. We are just going
[06:10] to do a 30-minute session though, we're
[06:12] not going to do all of the lockouts,
[06:14] because as I said earlier, we don't want
[06:15] to get bored. So, we're just going to do
[06:16] 30 minutes, but all you got to do is get
[06:18] into the raid, use your potion of
[06:20] treasure finding, your Vial of Alacrity.
[06:22] Also, you maybe could have used the
[06:24] Fried Bonefish here, which is a meal
[06:26] that you eat, and whenever you kill a
[06:28] mob, you get some movement speed. So,
[06:29] that one would have been good, but I
[06:31] somehow forgot that one here as well,
[06:32] it's really, really cheap. So, simply
[06:34] what we are doing here is just killing
[06:36] all of the mobs that we can see and
[06:38] skinning the ones that we can skin. The
[06:40] basics of this farm is to kill all of
[06:43] the mobs here on this large platform
[06:45] without killing any bosses. We do not
[06:47] want to kill any bosses, because killing
[06:49] bosses will make us locked out of this
[06:51] raid, and then we will have to wait
[06:53] until next reset, which is in EU next
[06:55] Wednesday, and US next Tuesday, before
[06:58] we can run this farm again, and that we
[07:00] do not want to happen. So, once again,
[07:01] do not kill the bosses. But, you just
[07:04] skin everything that you can, kill
[07:06] everything that you can, and you loot a
[07:08] lot of good stuff. Then, just go out,
[07:10] reset the dungeon, and go in again, and
[07:14] rinse and repeat. As you can see here,
[07:15] after our 30-minute session, our bag is
[07:18] filled with treasures, filled with
[07:19] bloated stomachs, and a lot of green
[07:21] items. And the green items here actually
[07:23] has a great disenchant value, so this is
[07:25] really, really good. As you can see
[07:27] also, after opening all of these
[07:28] treasures, our gold per hour
[07:30] significantly increases there in the
[07:32] LootAppraiser window, and that is
[07:33] because, of course, we get a lot of
[07:35] materials from that. After that, we just
[07:36] disenchant all of our greens, and we
[07:38] have a lot of materials that we can post
[07:40] up on the auction house. So, let's go
[07:42] back to Stormwind and post everything
[07:44] up. Okay, so before we post everything
[07:45] we here, we have 5K on the auction
[07:47] house, and when we are done posting, we
[07:50] have as much as 12,000. So, that was
[07:52] about a 7K gold in that 30 minutes.
[07:55] Those farms are done solo, so they are
[07:57] not getting you the most gold per hour,
[08:00] as you can see, but they are, in my
[08:01] opinion, very chill to do, enjoyable,
[08:03] and if you just do this couple of times,
[08:05] you will end up getting the 100K. The
[08:07] next farm that we are going to do is
[08:09] farming Felcloth. Felcloth is a material
[08:12] used in older crafts. They are used to
[08:14] make mooncloth. Those are all going to
[08:16] be used in housing, so that is really,
[08:18] really good. The demand will increase
[08:20] when housing releases, which is pretty
[08:22] soon. But, right now, they are still
[08:24] selling for a decent amount of gold, and
[08:25] they are actually selling here right now
[08:27] for 94 gold, but the LootAppraiser is
[08:29] once again showing me the wrong value. I
[08:30] don't know why, but you will see it
[08:32] later. This farm is very, very easy to
[08:34] do as well. You don't really need
[08:35] anything to do this farm. I highly,
[08:37] highly recommend you though to use the
[08:38] Fried Bonefish once again, which I
[08:40] totally missed when I did this recording
[08:42] here for some reason, but it is really
[08:43] good to have when you do this killing
[08:45] farms. It's located right here in Swamp
[08:47] of Sorrows, and all you do is just
[08:48] simply run around here in a large
[08:50] circle, kill all of the Misty Grells
[08:52] that you can, and loot them. As you can
[08:54] see, a lot of them doesn't have loot,
[08:56] because basically these mobs is kind of
[08:57] only dropping Felcloth. You can get some
[09:00] greens and stuff, but it is very, very
[09:02] few of them. You can also get epics and
[09:04] stuff, of course, but it's very rare.
[09:05] So, basically you're farming only
[09:07] Felcloth here, and you get one per mob
[09:10] when it drops, and it is quite RNG.
[09:12] These 30 minutes that I did here, I was
[09:14] actually very, very unlucky. I like this
[09:16] farm. I have done it quite a lot lately,
[09:19] because it is really, really chill to
[09:20] do. I have done it both solo and in
[09:22] group, and this session, I was actually
[09:24] very unlucky with how many I got, but it
[09:26] is also quite RNG heavy, since they are
[09:29] like a rare drop. So, you could be lucky
[09:31] and get a lot, you could be unlucky and
[09:33] get only a few. But, it seems to be
[09:35] around the same gold per hour as the
[09:36] farms that we have done previously here.
[09:38] But, very, very enjoyable farm, in my
[09:40] opinion, and you can also do it with
[09:41] your friends if you want to, to increase
[09:43] the gold you make. It is also easy to
[09:45] see here how our luck went. In the
[09:47] beginning here, we had around a 16K gold
[09:50] per hour, and in the end here, we were
[09:52] down only at 7K. However, it is listed
[09:55] too low price in LootAppraiser, but
[09:57] still that is very, very low and I think
[10:00] that is below, below average on what you
[10:02] should get here. But let's go back to
[10:03] Stormwind and post everything up once
[10:05] again. So as we can see here, the fell
[10:07] cloth that we post is about 4.3k
[10:11] in value. We also got a few greens and
[10:13] stuff, but they are pretty useless. So
[10:14] we're going to forget about them for
[10:15] now. I will also do an undercut scan
[10:17] here to relist the items that I have
[10:19] been undercut on. It is quite important
[10:21] to do this. Like you can't expect to
[10:23] post up everything once on the auction
[10:25] house and immediately sell everything.
[10:27] It is old content materials that we are
[10:29] farming here. So you might need to
[10:30] repost them a couple of times on the
[10:32] auction house to get it all sold. So I
[10:34] highly recommend you to check in now and
[10:36] then and do this. And as you can see, I
[10:38] did it easily here with the add-on
[10:39] Auctionator, linked in the description
[10:41] of course. The next farm that we're
[10:43] going to check out is actually volatile
[10:46] water and then we're going to do
[10:47] volatile fire farming as well. So what
[10:49] we need here is potion of treasure
[10:51] finding, we need vial of alacrity, and
[10:53] we need the fried bonefish. So make sure
[10:56] you buy this, use this on these farms
[10:58] cuz the Cataclysm farms, you should
[11:00] always have potion of treasure finding.
[11:01] You make it back instantly. It is so, so
[11:04] important. But to get there, simply take
[11:06] the portal to Twilight Highlands and uh
[11:09] we're ready to start farming. The
[11:11] volatile water farm is located right
[11:13] here. Just don't forget to use your
[11:15] consumables before farming this. I have
[11:17] done that in the past and you just lose
[11:19] out on so much by not using potion of
[11:21] treasure finding. This is once again
[11:22] really, really easy this farm. All you
[11:24] do is run around here in a large circle
[11:26] killing all of the water elementals,
[11:28] looting up everything that you can, and
[11:30] you get rich in the process. Once again,
[11:32] very doable with your friends. I've been
[11:34] able to pull upwards of over 30k an hour
[11:37] lately doing these farms in a five-man
[11:39] group. So it is really powerful as well.
[11:41] But if you're solo or duo or whatever,
[11:43] just run around, kill as much as you
[11:45] can, and loot, loot, loot. Around the
[11:47] 15-minute marker here, I decided I want
[11:49] to do the volatile fire farm as well. It
[11:51] is located right here in the same zone.
[11:54] So it's really, really easy to transfer
[11:56] over to just go here and continue
[11:58] farming. As I said before, I like to
[12:00] diversify, so I just went up here
[12:02] instead and did 15 minutes of this one
[12:04] as well. Very, very easy farm. All you
[12:06] got to do is run around here kind of at
[12:07] the edge of the fiery area killing all
[12:10] of these fire elementals, looting them,
[12:12] getting treasures, and also volatile
[12:13] fire. Really, really easy farm to do
[12:15] once again. Highly recommend it and also
[12:18] highly recommend you to do it with your
[12:19] friends if you want to. This one is
[12:20] usually slightly worse than the volatile
[12:23] water, but it is still very, very good
[12:25] one. Let's go back to Stormwind and post
[12:27] up our auctions again. So we have almost
[12:29] made a thousand gold raw here and we
[12:32] have some more greens here that we're
[12:33] going to disenchant. It is once again
[12:34] Cata greens. They are really, really
[12:36] good to disenchant. I'm going to put
[12:37] that up on the auction house as well. So
[12:39] before posting here, everything on the
[12:41] auction house is 8.3k and after posting
[12:43] up everything, we are looking at 14.2k.
[12:47] So that was about 6k or something there
[12:49] as well. Not too bad. We are making some
[12:51] steady gold here and what I like a lot
[12:53] is that these items is actually selling
[12:56] pretty quick as well. So it should be
[12:57] quite easy to move them and get your
[12:59] mailbox filled with a lot of gold. I
[13:01] will check in in the morning and see how
[13:03] much we have sold. But now we have done
[13:04] a total of two hours of farming. So
[13:07] we're going to see how much of it has
[13:08] sold in the morning, how much we still
[13:10] have to sell, and how much gold we have
[13:11] actually made. Okay, it is now the next
[13:13] day. So we're going to check out how
[13:15] much we have sold. And on the auction
[13:17] house, we still have a value of 4.6k. We
[13:20] haven't sold our warbear leather, bear
[13:22] flank, and some other stuff here yet.
[13:24] But we have had a lot of sales at least.
[13:26] So let's quickly go to the mailbox. We
[13:29] can see here that we have sold stuff for
[13:30] 18.2k.
[13:32] That is not too bad. So we're going to
[13:34] collect all of our gold here.
[13:37] So 19k in our bag and about 4.5k on the
[13:40] auction house. That is not too bad. So
[13:43] now you have the process on how you can
[13:44] go about to make 100k gold. Just rinse
[13:47] and repeat this about four times and you
[13:49] will have 100k gold to your name. It is
[13:52] not harder than that, guys. It is a
[13:53] little bit of a grind of course. And
[13:55] this is only one method that you can go
[13:57] about to make 100,000 gold. But I also
[14:00] think this is one of the easiest methods
[14:02] to make 100,000 gold and that is why I
[14:03] wanted to show them off right here in
[14:05] this video. Also, some of you might be
[14:07] able to make a little bit more gold than
[14:08] me and some of you might be able to make
[14:10] a little bit less gold than me doing
[14:12] this. It all depends on how fast you
[14:13] are, what you're doing, and the prices,
[14:15] etc. So don't get too sad if you make a
[14:17] little bit less than what I do. Just a
[14:19] quick shout-out to our community guild.
[14:21] We have both a guild on NA and on EU. So
[14:24] every one of you is welcome to join one
