    This video explains what type of herbs to farm in Borean Tundra and how fast it can be done. Yes if you do not know a good route to take then you might take more time than just 30 minutes. Your focus in this area should be on Firethorn because it is most valuble herb in the area and then its great to just pick up the extras while waiting for respawns or on the way.

    Here is a map of the general locations of the herbs in Borean Tundra

    Grinding & Dailies Guide



    Doing dailies can be really boring but it is a great source of income. Its best to find dailies that can also get you plenty of drops or pass-by items from a gathering profession. So do the quest, even though they may only reward 13g-15g a piece, you can probably get around 50g each if you do the right quests. The concept used here is grinding/questing which are the quests you want to focus on if you want to make that extra money. As in the video, the Sons of Hodir is a great place to do dailies and they can be done quickly and a reasonable profit can be made from grinding while questing.

    Profession Guide



    Using professions is an important way to make money in WoW. Aside from what a lot of people think, you can make a lot of gold from professions other than gathering professions. The best way to start making gold is to start looking through the auction house for mats of you profession that are cheap and use them to craft items that are worth more than the mats you bought. The process is very simple and can make you plenty of gold without much effort.

    Auction House Farming



    This a great video explaning the process of buying low and selling high in the auction house. This process may take some time to get used to because you need to be familiar with the average auction house prices of various item and its always good to keep a close watch on the auction house to snag a couple of those really cheap deals. Even though this may take some time to develop the skills for, it is a great way to make profit without having to do much at all. Give it a shot and see how it goes.

    Crystallized Fire Farming Guide



    This area is a great place for farming Crystallized Fire/Eternal Fire because the mobs spawn very quickly because it is a questing area. The drop rate for Crystallized Fire is about 20% and you usually get 2 when dropped. However you may get lucky and get drops from a few kill in a row but even with a 20% drop rate, it is a great place to farm because of the large quantity or mob and quick respawn times.

    Depending on your server, Crystallized Fire with probably go for around 5g per 1, not a stack, but one individual Crystallized Fire. It is better to sell these individually and not in stacks, however you can collect 10 and then turn them into Eternal Fire, which are usually sold between 30g-40g a piece.

    So in a hours time, you can easily make 200g-400g farming these and selling any trash items you find. It may not be the best place to farm in the game but its fun and reasonable place to farm at level 80.

    The location of this spot is location in Fjorn's Anvil and in order to see the mobs, you need to be on the quest or have completed the quest chain. For those who have not completed the quest chain, here is a link to the starting quest (http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:They_Took_Our_Men!).

    Here is a map of the location of Fjorn's Anvil for those who do not know:

    Crystallized Air Farming Guide



    Another great place to make some gold fairly quickly is in the Howling Hollow. Here you can farm Crystallized Air and Relics of Ulduar from Scions of Storm. This is a fairly large cave with many mobs in it.

    I use my mage to farm here and I can make it through the cave in about 7 minutes and by the time you comeback out, the mobs will already start spawning about, so there is really no down time between mobs beside running from one to the other. One great thing about the Scions of Storm is that after you kill one, you can stand in the cloud of smoke/air and it increases your running speed by 50% for 10 seconds, so it is a great way to travel through the cave.

    Another way to make a little more money in the Howling Hollow is to have mining as one of your professions. Each time around you will find 2 or 3 saronite veins and if you are lucky you also might find a titanium vein. This with certainly increase the amount of gold made in this area by a lot if you mine these while you farm.

    Crystallized Air sells for about 3g-5g individually or sell for about 15g-30g as Eternal Air. After farming for an hour I made about 150g in trash items and had about 5 stacks of Crystallized Air and around 50 Relics of Ulduar. Plus I am also a miner, so I mined about 2 stacks of saronite ore. So overall this can make you around 200g-400g per hour.

    Here is a map of the location if you are not familiar with the area.
