WoW Burning Crusade Gold Farm — Guides · WoW Burning Crusade
Farming pays in three ways, and each method below shows them apart: the coin enemies drop, the vendor value of the grey and white loot they carry, and the materials other players buy at the auction house. Coin and vendor values come from the game data; auction prices depend on your realm, so materials are rated rather than priced, and no method promises a gold-per-hour figure.
