The return of Wrath of the Lich King also means the return of great gold farms as players will be flocking to World of Warcraft once more. Between mounts, professions, raid consumables, and gear, you'll be surprised how many thousands of gold you'll need in order to purchase everything you want.

With all of that in mind, we've put together the most important materials to farm as far as the auction house is concerned. Professions like blacksmithing, jewelcrafting, and tailoring are all incredibly important for WOW WoTLK Classic Gold crafting some of the best gear in the game in Wrath, and each one of them relies on materials you can farm in the world as reagents. Here are the most important ones to pick up and use for yourself or turn over for a profit.

This spider silk is necessary for a plethora of Northrend tailoring recipes including pre-BIS (best in slot) items, time gated Spellthread materials, and even mounts. However, you can only find it dropping off of mobs in two locations across the entirety of the frozen northern continent: Trapdoor Crawlers in Zul'Drak and Crystalweb Spitters and Weavers in The Storm Peaks.

Because this item is used in a wide variety of tailoring recipes and only has two spots to farm it from, it's bound to cost many times its weight in gold on your server. After all, scarcity plus demand equals value. It's best to farm this material during off hours when other players aren't killing all the mobs located in these areas. Otherwise, you're probably better off searching for another material on this list.

Cooking is an important profession for characters to maintain yet again in Wrath as food buffs supply great boons to DPS, healers, and tanks alike. Chunk o' Mammoth is used for cooking recipes to make Mega Mammoth Meal which is one of the best DPS food buffs in the game.

Furthermore, it's also a reagent for the Great Feast which creates a clickable feast on the ground that will supply your raid with food buffs in case they were too lazy to pick up their own. Consequently, a lot of mammoths are going to be eaten as raids progress through content across Northrend, and prices will stay at a good, steady price.

Last but not least, Eternals are essentially the new form of Primals from cheap WoTLK Gold the Burning Crusade. Eternal Water, Fire, Shadow, Life, and Earth are all used in a variety of crafting recipes across all crafting professions. Furthermore, they don't require any kind of profession in order to gather. For these reasons, Eternals are both the most accessible and most useful materials to farm in all of Wrath.

Eternals drop from elemental mobs found throughout Northrend, however, you can find all the different elementals located in Wintergrasp. That being said, you can only see and farm these elementals if your faction currently maintains the Essence of Wintergrasp buff for winning the most recent battle for Wintergrasp. This is also a zone that's incredibly popular for players looking to PvP (player versus player), so it's important to come ready to fight if you plan on taking advantage of the Wintergrasp elementals. If you don't like PvP, it's a better idea to stick to elementals found in various other locations across Northrend.
