Locked in Auberdine until I can buy a mount | WoW Goldbound Classic Ep. 4

Welcome to the WoW Classic Goldbound Challenge!
Inspired by the popular retail zonelocked challenge from patheralix
(   / @pathalerixgold  ) I decided to try this in Classic WoW. No twinks, no gold from other characters, just me, my Night Elf Hunter *Coppercoin*, and the long grind ahead.

In Episode 4 of the Goldbound Classic Challenge, we finally leave Teldrassil behind and make our way to Auberdine – and it immediately feels like a whole new world. Darkshore offers freedom to explore both north and south, a ton of new quests, rare spawns, and of course… new goldmaking opportunities.

Instead of rushing ahead, I start with something simple: fishing. Oily Blackmouth, Stranglekelp, and even Darkshore Groupers turned out to be surprisingly profitable at the Auction House. From there, the grind begins: clams and crab meat, herbs like Bruiseweed and Briarthorn, and even some lucky chests and rare encounters.

Along the way, I make progress with professions, test new farming routes, and slowly build up my gold. A recipe here, a leatherworking pattern there – some disappoint, others pay off. We hit level 20, unlock Aspect of the Cheetah, and even manage to tame a very rare pet.

Auberdine is already proving to be an incredible zone for farming and goldmaking – What can I improve? Any Tips? Let me know in the comments!
