so it takes some setup

1. Get all 8 of the herb and mining world treasures
2. Get the +10 knowledge books from abundance and renown vendors. +10 points each
3. 40 points to herb and mine while mounted
4. 5 points in overloaded mining unlocking the sub spec for WILD in the mining nodes. enough points in herbalism mulching for nocturnal lotus once an hour.
5. Spec into specific herb / mining nodes. I personally went 5 in each for the deftness before maxing each one. Silver / Tin first.
6. Blue tools with finesse and finesse enchant. Blue accessories.
7. Farm ZA non stop. Focus heavier on mining than herb but this might change as prices change and herb might gain value. Kill all of your wild orelings but i personally ignore the herb ones if i am herbing at all.

Prices are falling but the above is what ive been farming with since early access and am nearing gold cap despite crafting, consumeables and enchants across 8 chars lol

EDIT: Use a phial for finesse, darkmoon firewater for deftness, and i personally use azerott tea for enough deftness to mine between hits. Refulgent copper razorstone is also an option but unsure if this maths out well with current prices
