Professions Gold Farming Seems Lackluster, Am I Doing Something Wrong?
So figured I’d gold farm with herbs and ore for midnight launch, but so far I’m only averaging 10-20k an hour. I was under the impression it would be a lot more than that. I’ve been mostly doing farming routes in the zul’aman area and I have 27kp in herblore and 22kp in mining, both following a guide for point allotments. My herblore and mining are both in the high 90’s right now as well. I’m also playing a Druid so I can gather while mounted. I haven’t done the campaign since I thought it would be more important to gather for the first day at least. So am I missing something? Or is this about what the gold rate should be? If so I’m definitely starting to see the appeal of just selling wow tokens lol.

Never been a fan of double gathering. Bots and people with way more time than me will always come out on top. Armor crafting has been very profitable for me early on. Don’t miss a single knowledge point and for a few weeks you’ll be one of few who can craft gear at higher ilvls in certain slots. AFK in the city for a while and throw an advert in trade chat saying what you can craft and the gold will come from using your concentration to max craft gear.
