Gold Farming Routes
Loops that pay in coin: mobs, drops and vendor runs, with honest gold-per-hour numbers.
This is the largest hub in the library: every guide that ends in gold, for vanilla-era realms such as WoW Forever. It runs by level. Starter loops in Elwynn Forest and Westfall pay from roughly 20 silver to 3 gold an hour; zone routes through Desolace, Feralas, the Hinterlands and Tanaris cover levels 30–50; at 60 the farms move to Un'Goro Crater, Winterspring, Eastern Plaguelands, Silithus and dungeons such as Dire Maul and Stratholme. Ore and herb routes, cloth camps, fishing and the auction house guides sit here as well.
For an overview, start with the best gold farms at level 60, ranked, which compares Devilsaur Leather, Black Lotus, Runecloth, elementals and dungeon runs by class and realm age. Below 40, the first mount at 40 gold plan budgets bracket by bracket, and the auction house guide for beginners covers deposits, stacks and undercutting. Every guide states honest gold per hour, and those numbers move with your realm's prices and competition.
In ForeverBot you record a farm loop once, add the targets and press Start: the bot paths, fights or gathers, loots and goes to a vendor when the bags are full.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best gold farm at level 60?
There is no single answer, because prices differ by realm and by age. On a fresh realm, Devilsaur Leather and high end herbs usually lead; on a mature realm with active raid guilds, Dire Maul North tribute runs and Stratholme pull ahead. Track your own gold per hour on two or three farms and let your realm decide.
How much gold do I need for the level 40 mount?
Apprentice Riding costs 20 gold and the mount 80. Reputation with the city that sells it cuts both, 5 percent at Friendly and 10 at Honored, so the usual price is about 90 gold. Paladins and warlocks learn a class mount from their trainer at 40 for a few gold.
What is the best gold farm for a solo player without professions?
Tyr's Hand in Eastern Plaguelands, followed by the Runecloth camps in Winterspring and Felwood. Both pay in coin, cloth and greens without Herbalism or Skinning, for any class that can kill two humanoids at once. Area damage classes earn the most there.
