Ok everyone, this guide is the sole property of Marsgamer.com I am just posting it here because it is my favorite grinding spots in the game, and not enough people know about this guide or the site. Please no flaming.
This is the collection of money grinding spots Borsha collected from the Ultimate Grind spots thread on the wow forums. I added the top grinding spots where you can make 40+ gold/hour. Many of the grinding spots can be farmed by other classes than hunters, but at the heavy competition spots, hunters are helped by their tracking ability, range and speed.
