Farming can be described as the act of killing one or a few type of monster in an area to earn its gold or loots; this method is considered old fashioned and relatively easy, but it doesn't mean that you can't get lots of gold from it. With a good gold farming guide, you'll know the most profitable locations, zones, or instances to farm; the fastest techniques to finish the mob and earn your loots; and the best class to do it.

Farming is killing certain mob in certain location to earn gold and loots from it; even though it is an old and simple ways to make gold, it is still a powerful method if used correctly. By using a good gold farming guide, you can farm at the best zones, locations, or instances; kill the monsters in the quickest way possible and earn your loots immediately; and selecting the best class for maximum results.

This is not an in depth gold farming guide, but I'll try to uncover as much as I could. If you just created your character, it is not possible to farm effectively, so go and get a couple of quests, getting experience, obtain several copper or silver, and get your character to level fifteen.

If you have reached level 15, there are tow alternatives. If you are an Alliance character, go to Defias Windmill, you'll find it at Gold Coast area in Westfall. There are a lot of Defias mobs around the windmill that drop linen cloth and other good humanoid loot. They are around level 12, so you should be able to kill them easily; you also don't need to worry about running out mobs to kill since they respawn quickly.

In case you are in Horde faction, you can go to The Barrens and start hunting Great Plainstrider. It has fairly high chance to drop Light Feather, which is sold well at the AH. Sometimes it also drops fair weapons and armors such as Fire Wand or Native Sash.

An iron rule in early level farming is always keep your bag empty as much as possible; you can do it by selling all your trash whenever you find a vendor. If by chance you find your bag full and can't find any vendor nearby, throw away any trash items and keep the one that has higher value.

These are some great farming spots for higher-level character:

1. Alterac Mountains in Eastern Kingdoms; look for Elemental Slave as there are some chances to gain elemental earth from them (it has pretty high demand at the Auction House).

2. Scarlet Monastery Graveyard in Trisfal Glades; hunt for Unfettered Spirit, it is easier than other monsters and the drops also quite good.

3. The Badlands in Eastern Kingdoms; find normal Rock Elemental for plenty of grey loots like Lifeless Stone and Jagged Piece of Stone.

4. Searing Gorge in Eastern Kingdom; kills the elites here and get your Mageweave Cloth.

5. Felwood in Kalimdor; locate the Deadwoods because they drop silver, Living Essences, rare herb, and major healing potions.

6. Shalzaru's Lair at the northern end of the Isle of Dread; get the Nagas here for Golden Pearl drops.

7. Deadwind Pass in Eastern Kingdoms; kill Deadwind Ogre Mage for Runecloth drop.

8. Arklon Ruins in Netherstorm, Outland; the Artifac Seeker drops Mark of Sargeras while the Fellblade Doomguard can give you Fel Armament.

9. Dragonblight in Northrend; from Venomspite, go south until you reach the shore while killing all humanoid mobs in your way to gain gold and many other loots.

10. Wintergrasp in Northrend; ready for some challenges? This PvP zone can make farming even more difficult, but you'll find a variety of Revenant here that drop Crystallized Air, Water, Shadow, Fire, and Earth.

There are many other zones or instances where you can have good gold per hour from farming; all that you need is the precise info on the best mobs and the quickest ways to kill it.
