In this guide, I will be talking about Cataclysm Skinning gold farming, which means we'll be using a Potion of Treasure Finding. The tiny treasure chests you'll be receiving contain items that sell amazingly well. So, grab a potion off the auction house if you don't already have one and then hop in the portal to Uldum.

Get To Uldum

If you're unfamiliar with how to get to Uldum, just head over to your faction's Earthshrine and use the portal. Once you arrive, be sure to chat with Zidormi to make sure you're in the correct timeline. You'll see her location marked on the map with a small chat bubble when you talk to her. If you're prompted to return to the current time, you'll know you're in Cataclysm, so just stay put. However, if you get a prompt asking about Uldum during the time of Cataclysm, be sure to switch to it as it's the only way you'll see the mobs you'll be farming.

Potion of Treasure Finding

Now that we know we're in the correct timeline, let's head down south to the location marked on the map, which is located between Neferset City and the Lost City of Tol'vir. Don't forget to drink your Potion of Treasure Finding, as it will play a big role in your overall profits. I'll wait to open up all of the tiny treasure chests until the end of this short 5-minute farming session.

I think potions typically go for a little over 200 WoW Dragonflight Gold a piece, but they last for an hour, and you'll see that they more than paid for themselves just in the short time I was farming.

How To Skinning?

Notice the first few pulls where I'm trying to use my regular abilities to kill the young Crocolisk. But it doesn't work very well, so just use one of your AOE abilities, and the entire farm will run more efficiently. You'll also want to make sure you're waiting for the slowing debuff you receive to expire, as opening the next egg cluster before it expires will result in Crocolisk that you'll be unable to kill and skin. For this reason, I don't recommend using a Darkmoon Firewater potion to speed up your skinning, as you'll likely just be waiting for that debuff to expire.

You could only received one BOE pattern during this short farming session, a lot of BOEs typically drop from this farm. You'll get next to nothing vendoring them, and if you're not into the transmog farm thing, just put them up on the auction house for a fraction of the current market price. You'll likely not sell them all right away, but they will sell a lot quicker. Not only will you have people leveling alts that will buy the stuff, but people flipping things on the auction house will be buying up the items as well.

In an hour of farming, you'll likely make between 250 and 1,000 extra gold using this strategy. The drop rates for the tiny treasure chest and the BOE can vary greatly, so just keep grinding and the result will be good. So, just hang out for a few more minutes, and then open up all of the tiny treasure chests and stomachs gathered through skinning.
