Cataclysm has brought to the game new resources to farm, that will enrich the in-game trading system. So, what’s new to farm in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm? I hope this brief Cataclysm gold farming guide is going to help you make an idea on how much gold you’re going to make by gathering and farming the new goods.
1. Cataclysm Gold Farming Guide – New Mining Elements
The first aspect I’m going to cover here is mining. Miners will are given a few new types of minerals. These minerals are: Obisidian, Elementium and Pyrite.
– Obsidian is a common mineral, which can contain gems, Volatile Fire and Shadow. It’s the actually the first tier of minerals that you can able to pick up as a miner.
– Elementium is a richer type of mineral. If mining an Elementium node, a player can find Volatile Fire, Water and Earth, as well as gems and, of course, Elementium Ore, which can be turned in to ingots.
– Pyrite is the rare mineral found in WoW Cataclysm, equivalent of Titanium introduced with Wrath of the Lich King, or Khorium introduced in Burning Crusades. This mineral also has the property of being turned into ingots.
2. Cataclysm Gold Farming Guide – New Enchanting Elements
The enchanting table is also enriched with new dusts, essences, shards and crystals. These are the new enchanting elements that enchanters are able to obtain by disenchanting Cataclysm specific green, blue and epic items:
– Lesser and Greater Celestial Essence – These work exactly like all the other essences introduced in the game before. 3 Lesser make one Greater Celestial Essence and viceversa. These essences are common enchanting materials, found in by disenchanting green items.
– Hypnotic Dust – Just like the Celestial Essence, this is a common enchanting material, found by disenchanting green pieces of equipment.
– Small Heavenly Shard – Similar to the Small Prismatic Shards of BC or to the Small Dream Shards of WotLK, these can be found by disenchanting, inferior level blue items, and also green items. 3 of these shards combined, make a Heavenly Shard.
– Heavenly Shard – The higher tier version of the Small Heavenly Shards.
– Maelstrom Crystal – Is the epic version of the Cataclysm crystals. These can be obtained by disenchanting Cataclysm specific epic items.
Of course, enchanters can also craft the new, exotic item enchantments, like Enchant Weapon – Avalanche, or Enchant Weapon – Power Torrent and sell them as scrolls, applied on Enchanting Vellums.
To end this brief Cataclysm gold farming guide I have to say that the items I mentioned here are usually on a very high demand as the new World of Warcraft era will begin, so I hope you’ve made an idea of what to farm in Cataclysm.
So, do you want to become a wealth WoW player in Cataclysm?
