I hate grinding

I personally hate grinding. But I guess to a certain extent, playing World of Warcraft is a must; There’s no way to avoid it. I was working my way up when I just started. Truth be told though, if you’re not working at the level cap, you’re not using the most efficient method. If you’re not at the level cap, you want to get there as fast as possible.

However, for everyone’s benefit and for completeness, I will cover grinding at low levels. You’ll need to spend a good chunk of your time going out and killing mobs for a few hours if you want to get your materials, gold, experience, or whatever you’re after. However, if you know where to look, what items to try and get, and how long to spend in each area, you can drastically reduce the time you spend grinding and how boring the whole process becomes.

what you are going to grind

For the most part, the rest of the guides you’ve gotten have gone over exactly what you need to grind and how long you need to spend grinding to get them. However, there are many more things you can keep an eye on, including things that can change over time and become more valuable. These items always fluctuate, but one thing remains the same; people want them and they are hard to come by. If you can meet that demand, you can earn a lot of gold in the process.

Toiletries

The vanity item has no other purpose than to look good on a player. Things like rare pets, shirts, and seasonal items are fun little easter eggs that most players are willing to spend a large sum of gold to get, and if you can farm them, you can cash in on that demand. You’ll find a full list of the various rare pets you can farm in the Warcraft Millionaire Gold Crafting Guide. Here are a few more things you can keep in mind that will earn you a nice profit:

Adventure Hat Style

These hats are a great source of income for skinners and furriers, both for the ingredients needed to make them and for the price the hats can be sold for. You’ll need to seek out the pattern drop mobs for this in Durholde Keep (see the Warcraft Millionaire guide for more on other vanity hats and where the patterns drop) and it’s a Bind on Pickup drop, so you personally have what to go find it, but if you get one, it’s worth it.

The ingredients you will need include

x6 Heavy Knothide Leather

Cobra Scale x2

Primal Life x8

x4 Zhevra Leather

Rune Thread x3

With the exception of Zhevra Leather (which can still be found in The Barrens fairly easily), most of these materials are fairly rare and hard to find drops that will take you some time or cost some money to acquire. However, the change in the hat is much larger because of that.

the orb of deception

This item is very well known and can earn you a large sum of money if you know how to use it correctly. The item also doesn’t drop in Outland, so the price only increased even more. However, the best mobs to try to farm the item for are Razza and Skarr the Unbreakable. These rare spawns are found inside Dire Mauls Arena and won’t be around often, but they do drop at a rate of 6.2% and 10%. Even if you wait around 6 hours fighting mobs around the area, you will get your money back if you get the orb drop. You can see your chat screen and both mobs will start screaming when they have spawned. The current price for this item on the auction house is well over 500 gold, so be sure to take advantage of it while you can.

sale set

If you can sell items that help people complete an outfit (or better yet, an entire outfit), you can make incredible profits.

Things like the Twill Set or any of the class sets in the game will sell for big profits (you can sell the very easy to farm Twill Set for 42 gold with the shovel). The only problem with these is that you can’t list them for auction, you have to list them directly to players on the trading channel. However, if you can make these sets, you will be very successful.

Who wouldn’t want to look like a pirate or have a tuxedo in the game? They will pay a lot to do it.

Blood Elf Bandit Mask

This vanity item is huge right now because it’s hard to farm and can be used by any class or faction right now. However, it’s all a mask and without stats, it’s a sheer drop of vanity. However, if you can get one, sell over 50 gold. To farm this item, just find Blood Elf Bandits and farm them for a while – the drop rate is very low, but the mobs are insanely easy, so it shouldn’t be too hard.

shirts

Undershirts are another great toiletry item. Tailors can easily make a good amount of money on these as they are cheap to make and sell for a lot of gold. You can even find them sometimes at vendors for a relatively low price. Also, tailors use them to level up, so you can buy them pretty cheap at the auction house most of the time if you know where to look.
