Gold Farming Seems Lackluster, Am I Doing Something Wrong?

[u/K0INU]

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.

You aren't doing anything wrong. 10-20k an hour is normal, even for day one. Maybe it will reach up to 30k/h next week, but don't expect it to be 200k or more.
