Daily Gold Farming Routes in WoW Mists of Pandaria Classic

If you’re playing World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic and looking to build up your gold stash, having a reliable set of daily gold farming routes is essential. Over the past few weeks, I’ve tested several methods and areas across Pandaria and compiled a list of the most consistent routes that have helped me earn over 2,000 gold per day — without relying on the Auction House. In this guide, I’ll share practical tips, optimized paths, and my personal experiences to help you get the most Mists of Pandaria Classic gold from your daily gameplay.

1. Timeless Isle: Loot, Rares, and Chests

Why it works:
Timeless Isle is packed with elites that drop [Timeless Coins], bind-on-account gear tokens, and valuable BOEs. Chests and rare spawns respawn frequently, and you can make gold from vendoring loot and selling rare drops.

My Experience:
This is one of my favorite routes. On a good day, I can clear 500–700 gold worth of loot and BOEs in about 30–45 minutes. Bonus: You also farm Epoch Stones, which can be turned in for rep and minor rewards.

Tips:

• Prioritize killing rare mobs like Evermaw and Huolon.
• Use an addon like HandyNotes to track chest locations.
• Group up when possible to tag rare mobs faster.

2. Vale of Eternal Blossoms: Golden Lotus Dailies + Gathering

Why it works:
This area combines daily quests, mob drops, and gathering (Herbalism + Mining) all in one zone. The dailies provide gold, and mobs drop motes and greens. Resource nodes are plentiful.

My Experience:
I always run this route on my herbalist. I average 200–300 gold just from selling herbs and ores, plus about 100–200 gold from quest rewards and loot.

Tips:

• Prioritize Golden Lotus dailies at the Shrine of Seven Stars.
• Use Sky Golem if you’re an herbalist for faster gathering.
• Keep an eye on Spirit of Harmony — it can be traded for valuable materials.

3. Dread Wastes: Klaxxi Quests + Mob Farming

Why it works:
Dread Wastes has high-density mob zones and lucrative Klaxxi dailies. Many mobs drop vendor trash and green gear, which adds up quickly.

My Experience:
I often rotate this zone every few days. In a full quest + mob clear, I average 400–600 gold. I once got lucky with a rare BOE that sold for over 1,000 gold.

Tips:

• Stack AoE damage and fast movement for efficient mob clearing.
• Turn in quests in clusters to save time.
• Don’t skip elite areas — they often drop better loot.

4. The Jade Forest: Skinning + Light Farming

Why it works:
If you’re a skinner, Jade Forest is a haven. Tigers, cranes, and other beasts respawn fast and drop plenty of leather. Even without skinning, the low-level mobs are easy gold.

My Experience:
This is my go-to route when I just want a relaxed session. I usually get 300–400 gold per hour, especially when I sell exotic leather on reset days.

Tips:

• Bring Loot-A-Rang or use AoE loot macros to speed up farming.
• Watch for competitors — try less-crowded times (early morning/late night).
• Rotate between tiger and crane spawn spots to avoid downtime.

5. Auction-Oriented Route: Townlong Steppes + Sha-Touched Farming

Why it works:
You can farm Sha-Touched mobs for BOEs, motes, and greens, then flip useful items or materials on the AH. This route also gives access to dailies and rare mob circuits.

My Experience:
When I have time to list things on the Auction House, this route pays off. Some drops are niche, but one Sha-touched BOE weapon once sold for over 800 gold.

Tips:

• Have enough bag space — the trash and green loot piles up.
• Disenchant or vendor depending on the server economy.
• Use The Undermine Journal (or similar tools) to track price trends.

Recommendations

From my own experience, rotating between these 5 routes keeps gold income consistent and gameplay fresh. I like to start my session at the Timeless Isle, then head to the Vale or Dread Wastes depending on my mood and daily quest rotations. If you’re into professions, definitely pair Herbalism + Mining or Skinning with these runs.
