A Grinding Guide for WOW

In general, there are two reasons people grind in World of Warcraft.

1. To make some gold. If you are considering grinding for gold, consider gold farming guides to help you determine the best locations.

2. To get experience. If leveling is your primary goal, using a WOW in-game leveling guide will usually allow you to level fastest, however, many people still prefer grinding since it is something they can do while watching TV, listening to music, or chatting with friends.

Although many players try to avoid grinding as they consider it to be boring and tedious, grinding can still play an important function in the game of World of Warcraft. AOE grinding, for instance, can be challenging, and delivers quite a bit of gold and experience fairly quickly. If you have decided to pursue grinding, you have come to the right place. This page provides tips and a guide to some good grinding locations. First, some quick tips:

1. Get the largest bags you can afford. The reason for this is obvious. Killing tons of mobs in a short amount of time means you need lots of space for the drops. Having ample bag space will save you extra trips to town.

2. Go to your options screen and set your loot options to auto-loot. This allows you to loot a corpse with a single click, and through the course of killing hundreds or even thousands of mobs, this will end up saving you a lot of time, and raise your grinding efficiency.

3. Get the skinning profession. Do not over look this, since many of the creatures you kill will be skinnable. Skinned goods sell for good gold at auction, so by not having this profession you will be forgoing a lot of gold. The only exception to this is if you have more than enough gold and want to grind for experience only.
