Where should I farm? What should I farm?

So what do people farm you ask?
What should you be farming in order to keep your gold profits high?


Well, Most people who farm on a high end level right now have multiple types of farming operations going.





Type 1: Gathering bots with Herbalism and Mining.

These bots are designed to fly around, gather herbs and ore, and then return to town or mail off said items.
The most common items farmed with this method are:

Frost Lotus, Eternal Life, Titanium Ore, Adder's Tongue, Goldclover, Deadnette, Tiger Lilly.

These items are commonly sold on the AH, or used in conjunction with trade skills like Alchemy to create other items of value for players.





Type 2: Fishing bots with cooking

That's right! Level yourself a fisherman and bust out the daily quests, get yourself a nice pole and all the nifty +fishing stuff, and start collecting those high end fish!

Cooking compliments this skill as posting tons of fish in the AH can be boring and flooding the market is not always a good thing.

Level your cooking and make/sell Fish fears and Buff food for pve/raid severs.






Type 3: Drop farming

This can include farming any mob that drops a specific item of value.

Some of the more commonly farmed items are:

Captured Firefly ( http://www.wowwiki.com/Captured_Firefly)
Eternal Fire (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37702)
Dark Whelpling (http://www.wowwiki.com/Dark_Whelpling)

My Advice:

Try different farming methods, See which one you like best.

Some people can't handle listing stacks of stuck for hours every day, and some can.

I personally like the diversity of items being sold, It helps keep daily auctioning from becoming tedious.

If you are in a guild, You might take notice of the things people spend a lot of their gold on on a regular basis.
This ties in to locating items on your server that can be economically controlled.

Essentially anything you can create or collect that costs you less or nothing compared to what the buyer pays for it, is good profit.
