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 WOW Classic Gold 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 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.
Fishing also serves a great purpose over the course of Wrath content, primarily thanks to the Dragonfin Angelfish serving as a reagent for the best food consumables for strength and ability-based classes. While Mega Mammoth Meal provides the same amount of attack power, its buff doesn't stack with other buffs that increase your stat scores such as Blessing of Kings.

For this reason, Blackened Dragonfish and Dragonfish Filets are actually slightly better food buffs than Mega Mammoth Meal. While Dragonfin Angelfish will serve as the most sought-after fish to acquire, Musselback Sculpin, Nettlefish, and Glacial Salmon will also demand a decent price thanks to their involvement as reagents for the Fish Feast.
Frozen Orbs drop from final bosses of Heroic instances in Wrath and are a necessary material in 70 different recipes, many of which serve as pre-BIS or BIS items. You can also purchase Frozen Orbs from badge WoW Classic WotLK Gold vendors in Dalaran at a price of 10 badges per Frozen Orb.
