Farming Guide - Crocolisk Gold Farming

Farming Crocolisks for Gold

High level Mists of Pandaria Crocolisks offer 3 items that you should be interested in. Lower level crocolisks should be avoided. In this particular wow gold making tip we'll be focusing on the Coldbite Crocolisks in Dread Wastes. They're level 90, so make sure your toon is at the appropriate level.

Coldbite Crocolisk
Location: Dread Wastes

Items you should expect to see:

•  Raw Crocolisk Belly (60%)
•  Mote of Harmony (8%)
•  High Quality Crocolisk Leather (3%)

Your main income will be from Raw Crocolisk Belly. On my realm they have been selling for 10-40g each for several months now, so this gold making tip has stood very profitable. If the price ever drops below 20, I will just flip them without worrying, as no one really farms crocolisks.

You'll also get a nice amount of Harmony Motes. You can use these for anything, like buying Crocolisk Bellies from a vendor in Halfhill Market, if you convert the Spirit of Harmony into a cooking reward and grab a bag of them. The average price for a belly is 30g on my realm, and 40g for a Golden Lotus, so it's more profitable for me to focus on bellies instead.

You'll also get a High Quality Crocolisk Leather by a low chance. It's vendor junk, but sells for 9 wow gold.

I wouldn't really use the bellies for anything. It's better off to just sell them as they are.

The mobs itself are very easy to kill if you have a decent ilvl and more importantly self heals, so you can tackle even 4 at once. Their respawn times are quite fast too, so you'll never have to wait around. 

Oh noes! It's underwater!

Most of these Crocolisks are underwater, so there's no competition ever, unless someone is doing a non-daily quest. The pool is not deep though, so if you have ranged attacks, you don't really need to swim much.

To speed things up literally, I would recommend to choose  Speed King buff to help your watery grind with a double jump every 5 seconds.

You can also earn loads of gold by farming cataclysm crocolisks will tell you how to in the next guide.

Cooking Gold Guide - Making gold by selling MOP Food

Cook for Agi, Str and Int classes

There are 2 types of food for each stat that you may be interested to try out. These offer 250 and 275 stats. They are cheap to make, and they can also be eaten by players not yet level 90. There's also 300 stats food that is a lot more expensive, and I wouldn't recommend to cook any. They are useful mainly for hc raiders, and even they prefer feasts instead.

Making a stack of each food for all classes for starters is a good idea to see which type sells the most. You should focus on AGI, STR and INT food only.

All the necessary recipes can be learned from the different cooking trainers in Halfhill Market, Valley of the Four Winds.

For example, to make a single  Valley Stir Fry, you need only 1 x  Reef Octopus and 1 x  Wildfowl Breast. In most cases it costs about one gold to create it. However, the final product usually sells for 4-15 wow gold when there's less food for sale, so there's a lot of profit when you time your auctions right. This goes for most 275 food, but prices are quite a bit different on every realm. See which one is the most profitable to make before making boatloads of food on your realm.

Note that 300 stats food require spices that can be bought only with  Ironpaw Tokens. However, the spices aren't BOP, so you can see if there's any for sale in the auction house. They aren't that cheap usually, though, but neither is the food!

There's also feasts you can make, but I wouldn't recommend making any. They don't sell well at all, as most guilds have cooks that make them. 

Powerleveling Cooking

If you don't have cooking yet, you can talk to the cooking trainer in Halfhill Market to learn 1-520 cooking without even leaving from the spot, as long as you bring about 42 x  Golden Carp with you. It's quite cheap in the auction house, but you can also fish it up anywhere in any of the nearby rivers even with fishing skill of 1.

Once the trainer can't teach you any further, speak with some of the other trainers in Halfhill Market to learn more recipes.

Fishing Gold Guide - Best place to farm Deviate Fish

Some fishes are extremely valuable, especially the lower level ones that are needed by cooks and alchemists. Today's post focuses on the best of them,Deviate Fish. This one is mainly for horde lowbies. Alliance can make even more gold though, but a higher level toon is recommended.

Tested and approved by a poor, almost naked level 20 toon that went fishing for 1½ hours, and eventually sold the catch for 2490 gold, 30 silver and 73 coppers!(Talking about retail even x10 times in private servers) Also known as too much gold, unless you like saving or investing. & if you are using a fishbot the profit will be insane since the bot will fish for you as long as you want. My advice to you is to turn the fishbot on when you go to sleep & let it do it's work.


Deviate fish can be fished up in Barrens and Wailing Caverns. But to get the most fishes/hour, you should circle around the pools in Barrens and cast your line only if you see a Deviate Fish school. There's three pools of water in Northern Barrens and each can contain a few Deviate Fish schools.

You're usually the only one fishing these so there shouldn't be any competition except during peak hours, but even so, the schools respawn  fast and can make lots of gold for you in a very little time.

Flying mount is extremely helpful, but if you do this with a lowbie, the running cuts the profits a bit.

Still, you can get even 5000g in a few hours, or at least when they've all sold! Not many have gold for their epic flying mount at level 20(again retail), why not be one of the few! But to make them sell faster, you shouldn't focus on one product only.

Barrens being on horde territory, these should sell for even more on the Alliance side! 

Cook it, Brew it and Sell it!

Once you have enough fishes, you've to decide what to do with them. If you have alchemy, it's very affordable to get the recipe for Giant Growth Elixir since Cataclysm. You'll most likely find several for as little as 2g in the Auction House.One Giant Growth Elixir requires 1x Deviate Fish, 1x Earthroot and a vial surpisingly. I'm usually the only one selling these and I usually list them for 40-60g(retail price) in the auction house.

They sell surprisingly fast even though they are useless. Guess some people need more self-confidence, making things bigger and all!

Usually 5-15 elixirs sell every day, so I have plenty of Deviates for other uses also. Second best choice would be to sell them raw, let's say 35g each so people won't undercut you so much if they have alchemy aswell. If you have the cooking recipe for Savory Deviate Delight, last resort would be to create some of those. You often have competition here though, so the profit is minimal.
