Tyr’s Hand

One of the best ways to find out where the best gold farming spots are is to find out where the professional gold farmers hang out. And for the past year and a half or so the ultimate hotspot for the pros has been the stronghold of the Scarlet Crusade in the Eastern Plaguelands: Tyr’s Hand.

Full of level 56-60 elite Scarlet Crusaders, Tyr’s hand is a treasure trove of consistently high silver and green drops. Blue and purple items have also been known to drop here. And while the mobs here don’t go down as easy as non-elites, they can still be easily soloable by any class. Mages, warlocks, rogues and especially hunters seem to have the easiest time here, however.

The only real downside to farming Tyr’s hand may be the competition for resources you get from other players. Some have even complained of being forcibly chased off by the “regulars.”

I originally heard about this tip back in the day from Derek’s Warcraft Riches. Right now it’s up to about five individual guides that cover both beginning and advanced concepts. One of it’s strongest aspects is Derek’s attention to presenting comprehensive information about professions.
