Farming gold in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic (MoP Classic) is not just about grinding — it’s about smart strategy, knowing where to go, and what to target. Based on personal gameplay and trusted community methods, I’ve compiled this list of the 10 best gold farming spots in MoP Classic. Whether you’re a fresh level 90 or a returning veteran, these zones can give your gold reserves a solid boost.

1. Isle of Thunder – Troves of the Thunder King

1. Gold Source: Treasure runs & rare mobs
2. Recommended For: Level 90 solo players
3. Why It Works: 
   After completing the intro quests, you unlock “Troves of the Thunder King,” a solo scenario packed with gold, chests, and vendor trash. Each run can earn 300–600g easily.
4. My Experience: I often ran this 2–3 times a week and made consistent gold with little effort, especially with a stealth class.

2. Timeless Isle – Rare Mobs and Coins

1. Gold Source: Timeless Coins & BOE drops
2. Recommended For: Players with gear and patience
3. Why It Works: 
   High concentration of elites that drop BOEs, Timeless Coins, and reputation items. These BOEs can sell well on the auction house.
4. My Experience: Farming Gulp Frogs for an hour gave me over 700g in trash + BOEs worth 2k+ on good days.

3. Vale of Eternal Blossoms – Guo-Lai Halls

1. Gold Source: Chests, mobs, lockboxes
2. Recommended For: High mobility classes
3. Why It Works: 
   This underground zone resets quickly and has a high mob density, with good gold and Spirit of Harmony drops.
4. My Experience: With loot-a-rang and speed boosts, I pulled 1,000g/hr farming just the outer ring of the halls.

4. Dread Wastes – Kypari Zar

1. Gold Source: Trash drops, motes, insect mobs
2. Recommended For: AoE-heavy specs (e.g., Warlock, Hunter)
3. Why It Works: 
   Swarms of Mantid mobs drop insect parts and greys that vendor well. Easy to pull in large packs.
4. My Experience: As a Destruction Warlock, I could easily clear multiple packs and pull 800g/hr while AFK listening to podcasts.

5. Krasarang Wilds – Dominance Offensive/Dominion Point

1. Gold Source: Rep mobs, dailies, greens
2. Recommended For: Players who enjoy dailies
3. Why It Works: 
   Dailies pay decent raw gold, and the mobs in the area drop greens and cloth at a high rate.
4. My Experience: I farmed this during rep grinds and made surprising side-gold – especially from disenchanting greens.

6. Townlong Steppes – Sra’vess Island

1. Gold Source: Mobs and Spirit of Harmony
2. Recommended For: Skinners or leatherworkers
3. Why It Works: 
   High mob density + fast respawns. Great for farming both trash and motes.
4. My Experience: I used to skin mobs here for both leather and extra gold. Some days I’d make 1.2k+ including crafting profits.

7. Kun-Lai Summit – Burlap Trail (Yaungol)

1. Gold Source: Raw gold, greys, cloth
2. Recommended For: Fast AoE farmers
3. Why It Works: 
   Easily pull large packs of Yaungol NPCs for tons of vendor trash.
4. My Experience: Perfect for short farming sessions. Great spot when you don’t want to travel far or deal with flying.

8. Jade Forest – Windward Isle

1. Gold Source: Crocolisk skinning
2. Recommended For: Skinning professions
3. Why It Works: 
   Crocs spawn quickly and drop exotic leather, a valuable crafting material.
4. My Experience: During early MoP Classic, this was my favorite AFK-friendly spot for steady profits.

9. The Jade Forest – Sha of Anger World Boss

1. Gold Source: BOEs & Raw Gold
2. Recommended For: Weekly group content
3. Why It Works: 
   While not pure farming, killing Sha weekly can yield BOE items and quest rewards worth hundreds.
4. My Experience: I got lucky with BOEs twice — one sold for 3k gold. Not bad for 10 minutes of effort.

10. Auction House – Buy Low, Sell High with MoP Mats

1. Gold Source: Player-driven market
2. Recommended For: Strategic players
3. Why It Works: 
   MoP Classic has a fluid economy, and many players don’t know the real value of Ghost Iron Ore, Exotic Leather, or Golden Lotuses.
4. My Experience: I flipped several stacks of Ghost Iron and Herbs for double profit, especially during raid nights.

Farming gold in MoP Classic doesn’t have to be tedious. With the right spot and some personal strategy, I was able to keep up with repairs, consumables, and even purchase high-end gear. Most of these locations offer more than just raw gold — they provide reputation, crafting materials, or resale value that multiplies your income.

If you're looking to maximize your time and profit, rotate between 2–3 of these areas based on competition and your playstyle. And most importantly, track your earnings — you’ll be surprised how quickly it adds up.
