FAQ
Where do I farm Goldthorn?
Stranglethorn Vale and the Arathi Highlands have the most. Feralas is the Kalimdor choice.
Checked Oct 19, 2026. Nodes, spawn points and drop rates follow the WoW Forever database, drop rates and farm spots come from Classic until Forever has its own numbers.
Short on time for the profession grind?
Every guide here shows how to do it yourself. If your evenings are short, our boosters take the grind off your hands. Options and current prices are on each service page.
