TheWoWDBIf you head into the fargodeep mine which is south of Goldshire but not too far down, you will find lots of "kobolds". These guys are small and have candles on their heads. They drop gold dust every so often and that is what you need to collect. Fairly easy but for safety I recommend you take one person with you to help you clear the Fargodeep Mine.

do this along with Kobold Candles, The Fargodeep Mine and Lost Necklace, which is also in Fargodeep Mine where you need to do some chain quests then kill Goldtooth. Lost Necklace starts at "Auntie" Bernice Stonefield whom is at 34,83 or Stonefield Farm for those of you who doesn't have a coordinate addon

The kobolds in these parts sometimes carry Gold Dust on them. I could really use the stuff - bring me a load of it and I'll give you the best price in town...best price in town! You can find kobolds in the Fargodeep Mine to the south, and around the Jasperlode Mine to the northeast.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
