I'am just vendor grey items and open https://classic.wowhead.com/item=7973/big-mouth-clam before selling them again to NPCs
Dropped 9g on https://classic.wowhead.com/item=11207/formula-enchant-weapon-fiery-weapon last night, few others listed at 30 - 50g so hopefully I can make something.
Playing with gold when every copper counts is kinda fun!
Had quite the turn of events for me and my goldfarm/grind.
Other than having a nasty headcold slowing me down. Just feeling drained and really lazy for some reason. Anyhow my friends and I took up the free transfer from Whitemane to Arcanite Reaper...
The population is scarce to say the best and the AH barely works because of lack of population. My census mod shows me that mostly everyone is below us on this server. We're really not bummed about it. The queue is gone and we can all play whenever we feel like it. But if you didn't get your mount gold before transferring its a big brick wall in that grind.
Currently killing rock elementals in Badlands for thier amazing vendor trash. Wish me luck...
There have been 2 methods that I utilized to make money for my mount. I've been leveling enchanting as I level because I want that BiS trinket for druid tanking, so my pockets were probably around 20g when I hit 40. Not great.
This first method I used worked really well - on private servers. It would generate about 20g an hour. However, when I tried it here it was around 6-10g an hour depending on how lucky you got. The method was farming SM GY in the graveyard proper. You stealth through the opening elite mobs and just grind the non elite spirits in the graveyard and kill any of the three rare spawn bosses that spawn. However, I found that it wasn't making me enough gold.
My next method was much better for making gold. A lot of people already know about it, and even though it is really good, I'd primarily recommend it if you're a druid and horde.
In Desolace, there is an NPC that you can turn 5 shellfish into (which can be farmed from cages right next to the dock where said NPC is at) for 55s per 5 shellfish.
So, per 10 shellfish you're generating over 1 gold and some traps can have 2 shellfish in them. It actually turned out to be a very good farming method, albeit a little boring. But becareful because word has already spread about this method and it's a popular spot now which is why I suggest doing this as a druid because you will be able to swim faster than everyone else, and being able to breathe underwater is great as well.
professions bassically, and some aoe farming.
I did some mindless Desolace trap farming for few hours between levels 34 and 36, along with playing the AH here and there.
I now sit comfortably at 120 gold at level 38, so my level 40 mount is safe and secure! Can't wait to hit level 40 (since warriors also get Mortal Strike at that level)!
