Making Gold with Herbs in Northrend

Making gold in World of Warcraft has always been an incredibly popular means of enjoying the content while getting a whole slew of new items and possibilities through your grinding. Since the release Inscription in the 3.0 patch, the game’s newest and most popular gold making activity has been in gathering herbs which have increased and held steady in value since they started showing up in two different professions. With a dozen new herbs in Northend to choose from as well, you can expect that they will continue to be incredibly popular for gold making for months to come.

The Top Spots in Northrend

Some spots in Northrend are easier to make gold in than others. In the Borean Tundra, the Tiger Lily and Goldclover appear near the DEHTA camp towards the middle of the map. There are also many herbs that only show up in certain areas. In Zul’Drak, the Talandra’s Rose will yield a lot of gold, and you’ll find even more herbs that can earn up to 100 gold in the two zones of Sholazar Basin, Icecrown Glacier, and Storm Peaks. If there’s no one else around, you can be making incredible amounts of gold in no time at all.

Easiest Ways for Maximizing Gold Income

The best way to maximize income is to find areas that are not being farmed overtly by other players. This includes patches in Sholazar Basin, Zul’Drak, and Storm Peaks where there are multiple small patches that include dozens of different herbs tightly packed together. Look for different herb maps online that will guide you to the right spots, or install Gatherer and start tracking where you find nodes to maximize income. Also, make sure to save and sell all the Crystallized Life you gather from the herbs you pick, something that will occur for nearly every herb you come across.

Herbs are an incredibly valuable resource for nearly anyone that has an Herbalism skill of at least 400. If you can get yours up and start farming early at Level 70-72 you can make between 4,000 and 10,000 gold in the time it takes you to reach Level 80 and beyond for major profits.
