Where to Farm for What you Want
We
all know how boring it is to farm for items you want to get for
Blacksmithing, Engineering, Tailoring or just plain getting gold. So
I’m going to try to keep these updated with places to farm for items,
which are commonly wanted by most people.
Cloth
and leather sell well on the AH. As
a level 60, you can kill humanoids that sometime drop up to 9–10
silver a kill. That means
you can make 1 gold in about 10-15 minutes.
These humanoids also drop cloth well so the silver you get from
them and the cloth consider the possibilities, you could actually make
gold fast.
A
level 60 can make 10 gold in an hour easily from drops off of
humanoids.
CLOTH
Linen Cloth:
1. Westfall is the best
area for this. Either clear
the mines or just go around killing other humanoids.
Wool
Cloth:
1. The Furbolgs in Ashenvale or the Shadowhides in Redridge drop
wool cloth at a decent rate.
Silk Cloth:
1. For a higher level,
soloing SM is the best way due to the fact you get a lot of silk on 1
mob and money drops are decent. Also
you can get the scarlet sets BOE that can sell nicely and some items can
be vendored for money or disenchanted.
2. Killing harpies in 1000
needles are another good way. They
are not elite so easily killable by lower levels as they are level
28-30. They also drop
Vibrant Plumes, which can sell for 80 silver a stack.
Mageweave:
1. Most mobs in Tanaris
drop a decent amount of this. Either
the trolls who occupy the ruins or the humanoids drop Mageweave. I don’t mean the pirates on the coast but the ones, which
are southeast, called Wastewanders.
The Ogres also drop Mageweave and nice silver.
2: Deadwood Furbolgs in Felwood. These
are also farmed for rep with Timbermaw Furbolgs so you can kill two
birds with one stone. Killing
these Furbolgs will get you access to the cave that enters
Wintersprings.
Runecloth:
1: Furbolgs in Winterspring. These
are due east of Everlook and very easy to kill. Non-elites so any level
54+ can kill them. If
you’re a mage its heaven just AOE and you can get a lot of runecloth.
2: Ogres in Deadwind Pass. Like
Furbolgs they are non-elite but have more health. I would say that the Furbolgs would be easier to kill though.
3:
The Undead in Western Plaguelands drop Runecloth and also help you get
your faction up with the Argent Dawn.
ESSENCES
Essence of Air:
1: Elementals in northwest Silithus.
No mobs actually have a high drop rate of this and these are all
non-elite and very easy to kill. Make
sure you are killing the air elementals not the rock ones which do not
drop it. Also they drop
breath of wind etc that can be sold or used.
Essence of Fire:
1: Elementals in Un’Goro crater, Fire Plume ridge. I think this is the best place to farm these.
They are used for Fiery Enchant and can sell for 8 gold.
Essence of Water:
1: Elementals in Felwood, Iron Tree woods.
These have a high drop rate I believe and there is normally
somebody farming them but they have a good respawn rate so no waiting.
2: Refer to another post but fishing it seems is the other best way to
get these. In Azshara but
I’m unsure of all the positions and co-ordinates.

This is the thread about fishing for water essences

This is the thread about essences which is useful.
Essence of Undeath:
Tailorers and Alchemist use these.
They drop from undead in WPL and EPL. They also have a high drop
rate in Scholo and Strat.
Essence of Earth:
These can be farmed in northwest Silithus in the far corner.
Also these drop from Stone Guardians in Un'Goro but those are
harder to kill because they are elites.
LEATHER
Light Leather and Medium Leather:
1:
These can be obtained by skinning all lower levels in Elwynn, Westfall
and Redridge Mountains.
2.
I
have found that the Pridewings at Mirkfallon Lake in Stonetalon
Mountains are a great source of leather.
They aren't difficult at all to kill (low 20s level) and respawn just
about as fast as one can kill them.
(Submitted by Rhianonn)
Medium
Leather and Heavy Leather:
1. These can be found by skinning the wolves along the river in
Duskwood.
2.
I
have found that anything skinable in The Hinterlands drops nice medium
to heavy.
Thick
Leather:
1. Most beasts, which are
skinable in The Hinterlands, drop thick leather when skinned. As mostly around level 49 they are easily farmable by 50s and
60s. Also skinning yetis, which drop some as well, can give this.
Rugged
Leather:
1: Yetis in Winterspring are easily the best.
Southeast of Everlook in the ice thistle hills region are
humanoids around level 53, which are skinable.
They do not drop cloth but many people kill them for a quest and
are not skinners. So you
can kill them loot some cash and skin them and also skin the mobs killed
by others.
OTHER
ITEMS:
Incendosaur Scales:
1: From beasts of the same name in the Searing Gorge. They do not need to be skinned they are just dropped.
These are used to get up reputation for Thorium Brotherhood.
These can also be sold for a high price.
Items from Fishing
These are all fish, which can be sold for a high price.
Essences also can be sold.
Stonescale Eels:
Any high level coastal spot in Kalimdor (Tanaris, Feralas, Azshara)
gives Stonescale Eels, which consistently sell for 1 gold each.
However, please note the time of day, sometimes, you won't see
any but at other times, excellent results.

Deviate Fish:
These are only fishable in the Barrens near Wailing Caverns.
You do not have to go inside the Wailing Caverns instance to
catch Deviates. They can be
caught in any of the pools around the Caverns before you get to the
instance.
The fish can also be caught in Lushwater Oasis, immediately south of the
Caverns [46,38] and in the Stagnant Oasis, south of the XR-Ratchet road
[55,42]. You will see
schools of Deviates so your drop rate is 100% if your cast lands within
the swirl indicating the school.
Very low fishing skill is needed well it’s actually 0 with baubble
bait but helps to be higher. These
sell very well and are also used to make Savory Deviate Delight.

These sell better when cooked but also sell in uncooked form.
The cooked fish turn you into either a pirate or a ninja and I
know on my server that a lot of guilds like using them for Molten Core
or Blackwing Lair.
Larval acid:
These drop from the grubs in EPL at around 5% rate and sells for 8-10g
apiece.
Felcloth:
These drops from demons in Felwood and Azshara, also from demons in Dire
Maul. Current price on my
server is anywhere between 1.5 and 3g apiece. These mobs also have a
very high drop rate of runecloth and are camped by gold farmers so you
will have competition.
Living Essence:
Tar elementals in Un'Goro drop occasionally - better drop rates are
found on the plants in DM East and West (Lashes in East, trees in west),
sell for 8-10g each. These are very rare, as they are needed for Hide of
the Wild.
Guardian Stones:
Drop from the elite guardians wandering around Un'Goro.
Though they are 61 Elites, they are extremely slow and soloable
by most 60s. Stones are used in Cloak of Warding and sell for 3.5-5g
apiece.
Righteous Orbs:
These drop from humanoids i.e. Scarlet Soldiers etc in a Stratholme
scarlet run. Used in enchants and are very expensive. They also they
drop off of the Scarlet Elite's (that’s the name of the mob).
They are in western plague lands above the lumber camp.
Dark Runes:
Drop from most mobs in Scholo. Very
useful for casters but are also used in crafting so are very expensive
and needed by most people.
Ichor of Undeath:
These drop from most undead mobs over level 50 (EPL, WPL, Azshara's
lingering Highbourne, Scholo, Strat, etc.).
Used in a few patterns, most notably the new Shard Bags for
Warlocks.
Silithus Chitin:
These are skinned from elites in Silithus.
They can be vendored for 2g a stack. Also the elites drop an item
for rep with the Bronze Dragons and greys.
Also when skinned they can drop a grey which is worth 1g for 20.
Shadowcat Hides:
Skinned from Shadowmaws in STV and Swamp of Sorrows.
Black diamond:
These drop from mobs in BRD. Each is worth loads because they are used
in Libram enchants and also the ZG enchant.
These are worth around 50 times more than the blue version.
Heart of fire:
These drop from elementals above level 45.
Easily farmed from demons in north Felwood and also elementals in
Un'Goro.
Primal Tiger Leather:
Skinned from tigers in ZG. These
are not farmable except for in a ZG raid group.
Blood of the mountain:
These are mined from Dark Iron nodes in Searing Gorge, Burning Steppes,
BRD and MC. Used in a quest, high-end professions.
These sell very nicely
Powerful Mojo:
This drops from trolls, which are over level 55. Drop from elite trolls in ZG and also from undead trolls in
WPL. The Undead trolls are
called Mossflayers. Used in professions again.
Ghost mushrooms:
These are used in making a dye, which is used in crafting.
These are found in Feralas, Maraudon, and The Hinterlands and
also drop of Tar Lords in Un'Goro.
Black lotus:
This is a very rare herb, which sells for quite a lot.
Found in Winterspring near the Blue Dragons Cave, Mezthoril. Also
found in Badlands, Silithus and EPL.
Turtle Scales:
Skinned from any turtles. These
can be found near Steamwheedle Port, in the Hinterlands, Tanaris and in
Hillsbrad Foothills. Used
in Leatherworking.
