WoW gold farming guides since the release of the Burning Crusade have all focused on pretty much the same thing – how to strike it rich in Outland. Since items cost quite a bit more gold, such as your 6,000 gold investment for a flying mount or paying a small fortune to raise up your jewelcrafting, the stakes had to be raised, which means you can now make upwards of 200, 300, or even 400 gold per hour in Outland.

Some World of Warcraft players who are new to the game have been confused by the terms gold farming and farming for gold. When you farm for gold you are collecting items off of what you kill, mine or otherwise gather so you can take it and make in-game money from it.
