Two other ways you can make wow gold in Cataclysm are by skinning and farming.
In this case, supply is so dominant that prices will plummet and you will barely be able to earn wow gold from mining and herbing the new materials. One way to avoid this pitfall is to mine Obsidian (the tier 1 ore) as this does not have nearly as many spawn points as Elementium. Additionally, the Azshara's Veil herb is also much rarer than the other Cataclysm herbs. Two other ways you can make WOW GOLD in Cataclysm are by skinning and farming. Skinning can be profitable because many recipes require the new Black Dragonscales. There are a variety of different places you can farm Black Dragonscales in the game, but the bottom right corner of Twilight Highlands contains a dense forest with only Black Dragonkin, making it the perfect place to farm these items. In addition to black dragons, players will find a variety of elemental beings in the Twilight Highlands. Players can farm these elementals in order to turn out tons of the new volatile elementals. The volatile elemental material will be sold at a premium on the auction house. In particular, I suspect that the volatile fire and volatile air will fetch the largest prices, just because they are in such high demand. To wrap up this WoW Cataclysm guide, just remember that farming Elementium is a bad idea in Cataclysm and that you should stick to lower tiers of ore if you want to make wow gold from mining.
