Attunement is not required to enter Karazhan in MoP Classic, you can walk in freely. The raid is located in Deadwind Pass at the following coordinates:

Once inside, make sure to avoid all bosses, killing even one will trigger a raid cooldown, preventing you from resetting it outside. Focus only on trash mobs, as they’re your main source of raw gold.

Karazhan gold farming route for MoP Classic.

Here’s the Karazhan gold farming route that works for all classes. The main differences come down to whether you can pull mobs from range and how much damage you can handle.

  1. The Grand Ballroom
    • Pull all the mobs here
  2. The Banquet Hall
    • Pull all the mobs here
  3. The Scullery
    • LoS and AoE
  4. The Livery Stables
    • Pull all the mobs here
  5. The Guardhouse
    • LoS and AoE
  6. Go back to The Banquet Hall and go to the upper floor

  9. Servant’s Quarters

If your character is squishy or undergeared, just go with smaller trash pulls than suggested above to stay safe and efficient. Some mobs in Karazhan can stun you, so avoid pulling too many at once. Try to clear each trash pack within a 1-minute window to reduce the stuns.
