Farming, Skinning and Playing the AH
The only good way to make wow gold during Winter Veil is to supply players with quest items and crafting materials. Many of you have noticed the insane buyout prices on certain items during this holiday event. Perhaps the most dramatic price increase happens with the Small Eggs, so these should be prioritized. They are easy to farm and sell fast!

Here's the basic items that will be more valuable:

• Small Egg
• Rugged Leather
• Wool Cloth / Bolts
• Runecloth / Bolts
• Ice Cold Milk
• Companion Pets

Small Egg
The best source for Small Eggs is the auction house when it's not Winter Veil or Children's Week. If you prefer farming, Feral Dragonhawks, with a 100% drop rate should be the mobs to farm! Even alliance can farm in the zone because it's deserted, except maybe now...

Rugged Leather (Skinning)
Because this leather has such a high value even when it's not Winter Veil, the only logical choice would be to farm it and not flip it. Here's the best places to farm Rugged Leather.

Dire Maul North: Gordok Mastiff
Blasted Lands: Redstone Basilisk, Snickerfang Hyena, Felhound
Winterspring: Ice Thistle Yeti

Wool Cloth
Wool is also expensive all year around, so it's wise to farm this one too. Thankfully there are instant respawn farms for Wool Cloth. If you have tailoring, it's wise to create some Bolts of Wool also.

Runecloth
Runecloth is a bit more popular, so theres lots of cheap deals available. Check the auction house when you have the chance and you will have bags full of it in no time! Like with wool, you should also make some Runecloth Bolts, if you have tailoring.

Ice Cold Milk
This is a regular drink that can be bought from a vendor, such as innkeepers. There's players out there that buy it from the auction house instead. Make sure to keep a stack or two available, and list them in stacks of 2 or 3. You can sell them for even 5-10 gold each!

Companion Pets
What is the best item you can wrap into a gift? Pets! Whatever pets you still have in your bank, now is the time to sell them. If you don't know where to get pets, click on the Pets gold making category on the left.
