- Before you start grinding: Know what farm; What ability do you have? What does sell great on you server? Wool? Runecloth? Motes?
- Know where to farm for specific items. Don't try to farm Runecloth when you are in Deadmines; farm Wool. If you aren't sure about something, Wowhead it.
- Like a survivaling In real life: Be prepared; Take enough Potions, Water, Food with you. Make sure that you have enough bagspace (Engineers have a great advantage if they have Jeeves)
- Stay focussed and don't stop untill you have your item
