The key to success as a crafter is having a cheap, constant supply of raw materials. To get raw materials in WoW, you can either gather them yourself, buy them at auction house, or get them from a supplier. If you want to crank out items fast, you will want to work with a supplier. This is a gatherer that you work with, and have a deal where they constantly supply you with the items that you need.

The gatherer will often times send the item through the mail system with COD, cash on delivery. This works well for both parties. And, sometimes one gatherer can supply several crafters with what they need. The gatherer and crafter also set a standard price for a stack of a certain item ? this never changes once set in most situations. Having a constant buyer/supplier is more important and convenient than getting the most for your copper. I suggest you try to set up a system like this – either if you are a gatherer or crafter.

To contact them, use the mail. Go to AH and see who is selling alot of a gathered item or crafted item, depending on if you want to supply or want to craft. Write down their name. You can try to send them a message, but more often than not, they will not be online. So, just go over to the mail and send them a nice letter. Perhaps a subject of ‘Need a supplier?’ or ‘Can you gather x for me?’ (x being herbs, leather, whatever it is you need) In your letter, basically say you saw them selling a lot of a certain item at AH and you’d like to become a constant buyer. This is VERY attractive to the gatherer as suddenly gathering x item becomes a constant reliable income for gold.

It is also VERY attractive to the crafter as they can normally negotiate for it to be cheaper than AH and they have a constant supply to make their items.

The downfall – at level 60, many crafted items become obsolete. Now, this doesn’t mean crafted items won’t sell. Plenty of lvl 59s and down still need those items. But, what it means is that they will never sell as highly or as well as a farmed item – epic items.

The two that cost you more than you make:
Enchanting – This really can be a great tradeskill. I made tons of gold with it … by selling what I disenchanted to other enchanters.

Rarely, and I mean basically never, will a player be willing to pay as much for an enchant as it cost you to enchant that item. Surely it can’t cost that much – you say

Well, factor in the cost of what you didn’t make. That is, factor in your potential earnings. In order to get enchanting ingredients, a item Uncommon (green) or better must be disenchanted. A blue item can easily go for 10 gold or up depending on your server (some 200 and up). Now, lets say every green and blue item you find and can’t use gets disenchanted – the losses add up pretty quickly. In fact, they add up so quickly that the aspiring enchanter finds it hard to believe.

And, what is worse is that you don’t always get the ingredient you need. There is a random chance it can be any number of ingredients.

Even worse – to enchant something, it usually takes at least 2 – 3 ingredients. Let’s say you disenchanted 3 blues to get the exact 3 ingredients you needed. If you had sold those blue items, you could have made 15g, assuming worth 5g (yep, a low estimate here). No one in their right mind will pay 15g for an enchant – unless it is a high high, well above 225, level enchant. And, if it is one of those enchants, then those blues certainly could have sold for well more than 5g each. If you want to be an enchanter, find a good guild that will supply you with ‘trash items’ – items they tried to sell at AH and didn’t sell, so they send it to you.

One thing to note: Enchanting has the *potential* to make money through disenchanting. Throw-away green or blue items (ones that are really bad, no one would use) will sometimes disenchant into something worth considerably more at the auction house. Also, you can disenchant any of your old bind on equip or pickup items. Most players have to sell these to the vendor to get a very measly amount for them – this is where you come in. You could disenchant something worth several gold from them.

Engineering – well … sadly … you have to be an engineer to use engineering items. And, if you can use the item, it means you can make the item (except for high levels – goblin/gnomish). Yes, there is some money to be made in engineering, but certainly not as much as the other trades. The main place money can be made is in the items required for quests.

What you do is identify a market, large glimmering shards for our example, and start to up the price on it.

Let’s say a stack of one large glimmering shard is selling for 90 silver. And, there are 10 shards up at the Auction House. To control this market, what you would do is completely buy out all of the large glimmering
shards- every last one of them. Then, you would go back and sell them for any price you decide as you are the only supply for large glimmering shards. Let’s be reasonable and only sell them for 1 gold 80 silver.

Now, people are used to them being 90 silver and will not buy them for the first week.

Also, you *must* have at least 3 – 5 items up at any given time for the price you have set. If they are not yours but are at 1 gold 80 silver, no problem. If someone puts them up for less, immediately buy them out.

After about a week of doing this, people will start to accept that the price of a large glimmering shard is now 1.8g. Also, the people selling the shards will think that they have been selling at 1.8g, so they will put them up for that amount as well. Now, all you have to do is sell off all of your large glimmering shards at 1.8g – you just made twice what you invested.

Now, it may seem that the buy low/ sell high would work better – but, where it differs is that you set the price. Make sure to no more than double it at first. But, once the price is accepted at 90s, then you could do the same thing, this time at 3 gold. All the time, you have more and more large glimmering shards. Sell those, and you have made 3x what you invested in the beginning.

Also, control more than one market. If you only control large glimmering shards, then you will only sell at a certain rate. Instead, control several markets. It can be anything – fish, herbs, items … You could even decide to control the market for items level 30 – 40. That is, you buyout every item within that level range and then double the price.
The people that level will need items, and they will have to buy from you.

Two things to note:

First – other people will see the rise in price in that market and decide to start selling the item as well. If too many people do this, which ALWAYS happens, abandon the market – sell what you have left for more than you bought it for and be done with it. A way to identify if there is too much supply is if there are 20+ of that same item at the auction house. So, you will be controlling a market for roughly 2 – 3 weeks before you move on to another market due to increase in supply.

Secondly – people will NOT like you for doing this. In America (in the corporate world), this is considered illegal. You ARE monopolizing a market and giving people no choice but to buy from you. You WILL get a negative reputation if you do this long enough – especially if you stay in a market for too long. So, you may not necessarily do this with your main character.

One last thing – this method eats up a lot of time. You will have to check the auction house at least twice a day to make sure everything is fine and at your price. You may end up doing this over leveling even. So, only go for this method if you want a challenge. Remember, you cannot just buyout all of a market and expect the worth to change in one day – it takes at least a week of monitoring.

A note to those trying to fight the monopolizers – if they are doing it correctly, you can’t beat them by selling for less. Instead, sell for more. If the price of an item goes too high, then the market will crash. Suddenly, the prices will be within reason again. You can force this by having a base price at where you think it should be, and a buyout higher than what the monopolizer is selling for. This way, someone gets the item for the right price OR the monopolizer must buy the item at a loss. There you go; there is your ammo for fighting the fight. Monopolizers – easy way to beat this is… (this is a valuable secret and is shared only in Luke’s WoW Gold Secrets guide).

If you are serious about expanding your knowledge in this area, please check out Luke’s WoW Gold Secrets guide. Thousands of WoW players have benefited from the time-saving gold-making techniques revealed by Luke.

If you are not sure of what an item is worth, just follow the prices of similar items at the Auction House. Otherwise, just price upwards – you can even put in something that you think is an absurd amount. What you should do is to set your base price as something reasonable that you would be happy with, and then set your buyout price as something much more absurd. Set your bid time to be 24 hours, and then make sure you use the weekends to sell it (Friday, Saturday or Sunday). Much more people are on the game over the weekend, so you definitely want to be taking advantage of this fact.

You may find that people who are impatient and do not want to wait for 24 hours to get their items will just pay a high price to get what they want. To increase the attention that your item gets, advertising is a good idea too. So make an announcement about it once every 5 to 20 minutes. Just do a /2 [item][item][item] at the Auction House. Sometimes, people will just click on those boxes, even out of curiosity. But you need to make the [item] so that people can click on them. To do this, just shift + click the item when you are entering text in the chat screen.

If you are using this method to make gold in WoW, you will need to find out a profitable run for yourself. It does not necessarily mean that the higher level items are more worthwhile pursuing. Sometimes going for the lower level items may be more profitable than the higher level items because even though the higher level items are worth more, you will be able to do more runs through the lower level area.

• This guide will show you how to get your alchemy skill up from 0 to 300. The guide will only use recipe’s available at a trainer until 265 and vendor available recipes from 265 to 300.
• This guide only uses recipes that require herbs and vendor bought material (vials).
• This guide does not tell you how to get all the different recipes from quests, vendors or drops. What you do once you hit 300 is entirely up to you. This guide will not tell you what to do with the potions you make either.
• This guide is primarily aimed at those who want to switch profession at high level or have high-level alts, friends or guild members.

Preparation

You are going to need a lot of herbs. Create an alt storage character to store these herbs and then farm (or have an alt farm) for the herbs needed. Use the in game mail system to send the herbs to the storage character. Don’t forget to send some gold to the storage character, so she can send the herbs back.

Once you have all the components collected, everything has to be sent back to your main character. The mailbox only shows the first 50 items you have in the mail. It also puts the last item send to you on top. So to avoid complications send the components you need first last: i.e. Peacebloom and Silverleaf are needed first, so these are the last to be send back to your main, after the Briarthorn, Mageroyal, etc.

The recipe’s used require vendor bought components such as vials. These cost gold. To learn recipes from a trainer also costs gold. The amount of gold needed is approximately 40 to 50 gold if you farm all of the herbs. If you want to buy everything you need from the auction house expect to spend upwards to 225 gold. This does not include gold for recipes from vendors or the auction house.

Below is a table that shows the amount of herbs needed. The minimum amount column shows the minimum amount needed if you would get a skill point every time you make something. However at some point a recipe will be yellow or even green when you make something so you won’t always get a skill point. The estimated amount column deals with this, so try to get the estimated amount of herbs on your storage character. If you are buying all the herbs you need from the auction house, I suggest getting the minimum amount and only buy more when needed.

Component Minimum Amount Estimated Amount
Peacebloom 60 (3 stacks) 60 (3 stacks)
Silverleaf 60 (3 stacks) 60 (3 stacks)
Mageroyal 15 (1 stacks) 20 (1 stacks)
Briarthorn 80 (4 stacks) 90 (5 stacks)
Stranglekelp 40 (2 stacks) 50 (3 stacks)
Bruiseweed 30 (2 stacks) 35 (2 stacks)
Wild Steelbloom 5 (1 stacks) 10 (1 stacks)
Kingsblood 30 (2 stacks) 40 (2 stacks)
Liferoot 30 (2 stacks) 40 (2 stacks)
Goldthorn 45 (3 stacks) 50 (2 stacks)
Khadgar’s Whisker 15 (1 stacks) 20 (1 stacks)
Sungrass 60 (3 stacks) 70 (4 stacks)
Blindweed 30 (2 stacks) 35 (2 stacks)
Arthas’ Tears 20 (1 stacks) 25 (2 stacks)
Golden Sansam 40 (2 stacks) 60 (3 stacks)
Mountain Silversage 20 (1 stacks) 30 (2 stacks)

Getting from 1 to 50
Getting from 1 to 50 is easy enough. Make 60 minor healing potions. This should get you to skill 60. You need at least skill 55 for the next step; so don’t worry if you didn’t get to 60. Keep the minor healing potions, you will need them later.
Once you hit 50 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Journeyman Alchemist. You have to be level 10 to become Journeyman Alchemist.
This table shows the different recipes used to get from 0 to 50.

Skill Item From – To
1 Minor Healing Potion 0 – 60 (60)

Getting from 50 to 125
Use the minor healing potions made earlier to make lesser healing potions to get to 110. If you didn’t reach 110, make elixirs of wisdom until you do.
At 110 you can train the healing potion recipe. Make those until skill 125.

Once you hit 125 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Expert Alchemist. You have to be level 20 to become Expert Alchemist.

This table shows the different recipes used to get from 50 to 125.

Skill Item From – To
55 Lesser Healing Potion 60 – 110 (50)
90 Elixir of Wisdom 105 – 110 (5)
110 Healing Potion 110 – 125 (15)

Getting from 125 to 200
Make some more healing potions to get to skill 140. Make lesser mana potions to get to 155, greater healing potions to get to 185 and elixirs of agility to get to 200.
Once you hit 200 talk to the appropriate trainer to become Artisan Alchemist. You have to be level 35 to become Artisan Alchemist.
This table shows the different recipes used to get from 125 to 200.

Skill Item From – To
110 Healing Potion 125 – 140 (15)
120 Lesser Mana Potion 140 – 155 (15)
155 Greater Healing Potion 155 – 185 (30)
185 Elixir of Agility 185 – 200 (15)

Getting from 200 to 265
Make some more elixirs of agility to get to 210. Make elixirs of greater defence until 215 and then make superior healing potions until 230. Make elixirs of detect undead to get to 250 and elixir of greater agility to get to 265.
This table shows the different recipes used to get from 200 to 265.

Skill Item From – To
185 Elixir of Agility 200 – 210 (10)
195 Elixir of Greater Defence 210 – 215 (5)
215 Superior Healing Potion 215 – 230 (15)
230 Elixir of Detect Undead 230 – 250 (20)
240 Elixir of Greater Agility 250 – 265 (15)

Getting from 265 to 300
Although you can get to 300 using the elixir of detect demon recipe, the Gromsblood needed is expensive when bought from the auction house so I decided to use vendor available recipe’s to get from 265 to 300.

Get the superior mana potion recipe from Ulthir in Darnassus or Algernon in Undercity and the major healing potion recipe from Evie Whirlbrew in Everlook.
Make superior mana potion to get to skill 285 and major healing potions to get to 300.

Congratulations, you now have 300 skill in alchemy.

This table shows the different recipes that are available through vendors to get from 265 to 300.

Skill Item From – To
260 Superior Mana Potion 265 – 285 (20)
275 Major Healing Potion 280 – 300 (20)

This table shows who and where the different vendors are for the previously mentioned recipe’s.

What Who Where
Superior Mana Potion Ulthir (Alliance Faction)
Algernon (Horde Faction) Darnassus
Undercity
Major Healing Potion Evie Whirlbrew (Neutral) Everlook in Winterspring

1. You must have a cooking skill of 85, and a fishing skill of 30

2. Once you have those two down, you’ll need the recipe called Savory Deviate Delight. You can get it by grinding various mobs in The Barrens, or, you can do what i did, and buy it in the AH for about 30-40g. Here is the link http://thottbot.com/?i=678

3. Now you’re ready, head over to the barrens, and go to the walling caverns, an instance in the barrens (levels 18-21 i think).

4. Start fishing inside the walling caverns with your selected fishing macro, or just fish, and dontuse a macro at all. It really doesnt matter where you fish, it doesnt have to be directly inside ofthe instance portal, but i did find that i got a little more Deviate Fish (the fish you are lookingfor) inside the instance of walling caverns. *The Deviate Fish don’t ALWAYS drop, but it seems to be about a 50/50 chance of getting them*

5. Make as many Savory Deviate Delights as you can, and you can sell them for 50 silver apiece in the Auction House.Suggestion: You might want to be over level 40 to try this out, because you’re going to pull a lot of aggro while in the walling caverns if you’re lower, and you’ll have a harder time fighting off those elites.

The best thing about this is that you can go afk, i wouldn’t suggest going afk all night, id be too afraid that id get a PM from a GM or something.. and get banned. Otherwise, you’re probably going to be fine if you’re afk for about 2-3 hours.. or however long you feel is right. Anyways,last night i popped in a movie, put a fish macro on, after the movie was over, i checked my inventory and there were 45 Deviate Fish, made the Savory Deviate Delights, and sold them all for a total amount of 25g.

Oh yes, i forgot to mention, the Delights can make you transform into a pirate, an assassin, a blob, it can make your cast time a lot faster… its random every time, but pretty interesting, and in my server, i noticed that a lot of level 60s like to buy these out and entertain lower levels in Iron Forge. I know this is a lot of work to get it started, but i feel it’s well worth it in the end,feel free to post problems and questions you may have. If this is a re-post of some sort, i’m sorry, i searched for it and didn’t find anything on it, it can be deleted if needed, no big deal.

You have a rouge stealth to the first vein in ZG. Normally before the bats that explode. Then have your hunter send in his cat stealthed to the rich hakkarian vein and jump out of prowl and aggro all the mobs. the rogue with 300 mining has about a 10 sec window to mine the vein while the mobs guarding the vein are chasing the hunters cat. Run out rinse and repeat.

It takes a lot of practice, but you can get the runs down to under 5 min and also loot the voodoo dolls. Souldrait also drops which can go for 50g each.

• Newbie Zone :: You may have to leave at level 11.

Level 12-20:

• Westfall [Sentinel Hill, Westfall Lighthouse]
• Loch Modan [Thelsamar, Farstrider's Lodge, Stonewrought Dam]
• Darkshore [Auberdine]
• Elite Area: Mo’grosh mound (Loch Modan)
• Instance: Deadmines

Complete the easiest quests in the first area that you go to (Night Elves should visit Darkshore first, Dwarves/Gnomes should visit Loch Modan first, Humans should visit Westfall first.) Move onto the next zone, and do the same, but this time you can complete more of the zone. Leave the most difficult, unless you can get a group for them – don’t waste too much time on it, though. Move onto the last zone and complete all, or nearly all of the quests available in that zone. By this time, you should be about level 17-18. Go back to the first zone, and complete the rest of the quests there.

Typically, my ‘first zone’ is Westfall, in which case you can go back when you are done with both Loch Modan and Darkshore, and finish the Van Cleef line of quests and be at a good level to run the instance.

Level 20-22:

• Redridge Mountains [Lakeshire, Tower of Azora in Elwynn]

Again, do the easy quests in Redridge, which should take you up to level 21 or 22. Skip the more difficult quests unless you have a group for them. I’d skip the entire Stonewatch Keep area of quests just simply because that entire area itself is crap.

Level 22-30:

• Redridge Mountains [Lakeshire, Tower of Azora in Elwynn]
• Duskwood [Darkshire, Sven's Camp, Abercrombie]
• Wetlands [Menethil Harbor, Greenwarden, N. Loch Modan (The Algaz Gauntlet)]
• Ashenvale [Astranaar ?]
• Stonetalon Mountains [?]
• Elite Area: Dun Modr (Wetlands)
• Instance: The Stockades
• Instance: Shadowfang Keep
• Instance: Blackfathom Deeps
• Happy Loot: Naraxis’ Fang (Duskwood)
• Happy Loot: Tiny Crimson Whelpling (Wetlands)
• Grind Area [26]: Dragonmaw Encampment (Wetlands)
• Grind Area [26]: Whelgar’s Excavation Site (Wetlands)
• Grind Area [28]: Rotting Orchard (Duskwood)
• Grind Area [28]: Raven Hill Cemetary (Duskwood)
• Grind Area [29]: Vul’Gol Ogre Mound (Duskwood)

Preparation: Purchase Bronze Tube.

Start at either Duskwood or Wetlands. This is where ‘quest stacking’ can come in really handy if you want to be efficient. There are many, many quests that send you to the same areas, and if you get all of the quests at once, you can knock all of them out without having to run back and forth. Considering Wetlands and Duskwood are fairly bad for having their towns on one side of the map and the quest mobs/areas on the other side, this saves a lot of time. A lot of these are parts of quest chains, so honestly it’s hard to know if you don’t have prior knowledge or do a lot of quest research beforehand – so don’t worry about it too much, but try to be as efficient as you can. Once you finish one of the two new areas, you should be about level 25 and can go finish the harder parts of Redridge, and then finish the last zone.

Note for Stockades : There are 6 quests you can obtain for this instance. Lakeshire, Darkshire, Wetlands, Van Cleef note continuation (Bazil Thredd), and two from Stormwind.

Level 31-37:

• Stranglethorn Vale [Rebel Camp, Nesingwary's Expedition, Booty Bay]
• Hillsbrad Foothills [Southshore]
• Arathi Highlands [Refuge Pointe]
• Desolace [32]
• Thousand Needles [31]
• Instance: Gnomeregan
• Happy Loot: Howling Blade (Skhowl, Alterac Mountains)
• Happy Loot: Toxic Revenger (Gnomeregan)
• Happy Loot: Tiny Emerald Whelpling (Swamp of Sorrows)
• Grind Area [31]: Kurzen Encampment (Stranglethorn Vale)
• Grind Area [33]: Stranglethorn Raptors (Stranglethorn Vale)
• Grind Area [33]: Growless Cave (Alterac Mountains)
• Grind Area [34]: Gallow’s Corner (Crushridge Ogres – Altarac Mountains)
• Grind Area [36]: Venture Co. Base Camp (Lake Nazferiti – Stranglethorn Vale)

Preparation: Purchase all 15 pages of The Green Hills of Stranglethorn, 4 Bloodstone Ore.

Start at Stranglethorn Vale. Quest stacking here is also godly, since you don’t want to have to run all the way to the northern end of the zone, do one or two quests and turn them back in at Booty Bay. Rebel Camp’s quests are largely independent of the rest, though, so you can do those first. Then, head to Booty Bay, where you can pick up two main quests for the northern area: Investigate the Camp and the start of the Excelsior chain, both of which takes you to Nesingwary’s Expedition, where you obtain all of the nice happy quests there.

Hillsbrad is only good starting at about level 33, at which point you can actually *do* all of the quests that you could obtain at level 30… Arathi only has one or two quests that you can actually do right now, but it’s listed anyways.

Kurzen Cave has been fixed, which perhaps means that Jungle Fighters and Headshrinkers have as well, so someone test that out please.

Level 37-43:

• Stranglethorn Vale
• Arathi Mountains [Refuge Pointe, Faldir's Cove]
• Badlands [Various camps around the zone]
• Desolace [37]
• Elite Area: Stromgarde
• Elite Area: Mosh’ogg Mound
• Instance: Scarlet Monastery
• Instance: Uldaman
• Instance: Razorfen Downs
• Happy Loot: Tiny Black Whelpling (Badlands)
• Grind Area [37]: Lashtail Raptors (Stranglethorn Vale)
• Grind Area [37]: Water Elementals (Stranglethorn Vale)
• Grind Area [39]: The spider cave north of Brackenwall (Swamp of Sorrows)
• Grind Area [39]: Rock Elementals (Badlands)
• Grind Area [39]: Elder Crag Coyotes (Badlands)
• Grind Area [41]: Scalding Whelps (Badlands)
• Grind Area [41]: Agmond’s End (Badlands)
• Grind Area [41]: Ziata’jai Ruins (Venture Co. Stuff, Stranglethorn Vale)
• Grind Area [43]: Naga Explorers (Stranglethorn Vale)

Preparation: Purchase 9 Blue Pearls, 1 Frost Oil, 1 Gyrochronatom, 4 Buzzard Wings, 1 Elixir of Water Breathing.

37 is where you obtain your next batch of quests from Stranglethorn Vale. Arathi Highlands has fairly decent quests in Faldir’s Cove, or if you’re feeling group-friendly, knock out the ones in Stromgarde. Badlands has a lot of nice quests, but you have to actually find them. This is where supplementing experience by grinding becomes more efficient at times, and at 42-43 you should be closing the last of your Stranglethorn quests, and be finished with Badlands and Arathi both, as well.

Scarlet Monastery. Black Menace or Sword of Serenity. Nothing more needs to be said – except where to obtain the quest: Desolace.

Level 43-46:

• Feralas [Feathermoon Stronghold]
• Tanaris [Gadgetzan, Steamwheedle Port]
• Instance: Zul’Farrak
• Grind Area [43]: Wastewander Bandits (Tanaris)
• Grind Area [44]: Isle of Dread (Feralas – Inside Cave; South of Feathermoon Stronghold)
• Grind Area [45]: Feral Scar Vale (Feralas)
• Happy Loot: 14slot bag! Cortello’s Riddle quest, starts in one of the ships in Stranglethorn Vale for the end of the Bloodsail Buccaneers line of quests.Fairly self explanatory, I guess. Not much going on here, really.

Level 46-50:

• Tanaris [Gadgetzan, Steamwheedle Port]
• The Hinterlands [Aerie Peak]
• Instance: Zul’Farrak
• Instance: Maraudon [49]
• Instance: Temple of Atal’Hakkar [50]
• Grind Area [47]: Undead in Western Ashzara (Azshara)
• Grind Area [47]: Dunemaul Compound (Tanaris)
• Grind Area [47]: Elementals/Golems around The Cauldron + N of it (Searing Gorge) – Elemental Leatherworking Supplies

At this point, you more than likely have a bunch of quests saved up for The Hinterlands – including but not limited to, the quest to gather Wildkin Feathers (from Rutheran Village), the quest to obtain a snapshot of Gammerita, the quest to obtain Violet Trajan, the last part of Cortello’s Riddle, etc. Feel free to knock them all out at once.

Level 50-55:

• Searing Gorge [Kalaran Windblade]
• Blasted Lands
• Un’Goro Crater [Marshal's Refuge]
• Felwood [Emerald Sanctuary]
• Burning Steppes [Morgan's Vigil]
• Instance: Temple of Atal’Hakkar
• Grind Area [50]: Deadwood Village (Felwood)
• Grind Area [51]: Ruins of Eldarath (Azshara)
• Grind Area [52]: Dreadmaul Rock (Firegut Ogres – Burning Steppes)
• Grind Area [52]: Legash Encampment, Thalassian Base Camp, Ursolan (Azshara)
• Grind Area [52]: Jaedenar (Felwood)
• Grind Area [52]: Sorrow Hill (Western Plaguelands)
• Grind Area [53]: Ironwood Trees in northern Felwood
• Grind Area [54]: Temple of Arkkoran (Azshara)
• Grind Area [55]: Jadefire Run, Felpaw Village (Felwood)

The quests in Blasted Lands all stack on top of each other. Five in total, one for each stat; they give 4700 experience per turn-in, along with always the chance of obtaining a Draenethyst Sphere for Kumi’sha the Collector with every mob you kill. Un’Goro Crater has the biggest collection of quests out of all of these zones.

Level 55-60:

• Winterspring [Everlook, Starfall Village]
• Western Plaguelands [Chillwind Point]
• Eastern Plaguelands
• Instance: Blackrock Depths
• Instance: Blackrock Spire [60]
• Instance: Stratholme [60]
• Instance: Scholomance [60]
• Grind Area [55]: Felstone Field, Dalson’s Tears, The Writhing Haunt, Gahrron’s Withering (Western Plaguelands)
• Grind Area [56]: Northridge Lumber Camp (Western Plaguelands)
• Grind Area [56]: Corin’s Crossing (Eastern Plaguelands)
• Grind Area [56]: The Pillar of Ash (Burning Steppes)
• Grind Area [56]: Winterfall Village (Winterspring)
• Grind Area [57]: Blackrock Stronghold (Burning Steppes) [NOTE]
• Grind Area [57]: Ice Thistle Hills (Wintespring) – Rugged Leathers

Notes: Blackrock Stronghold is probably the best place to grind for a rogue; however, you do have to get used to how the roamers work. You’ll probably die a few times along the way while learning them. Also, this might likely be another area where they’re increasing the armor on the mobs, but two of the four kinds of orcs that spawn are casters, anyway. Ice Thistle Hills is not the best place to grind for experience, but it’s probably one of the better places to get a nice quiet grind going and also leave with a few backpacks full of Rugged Leather.

Requirements

A level 60 Mage with

EITHER

Frost Spec with Ice Barrier and improved Arcane Explosion

OR

Fire Spec with combustion and blast wave

Step 1

Head over to Scarlet Monastery and pop yourself in the graveyard instance.

Step 2

Kill all the NPCs in the hallway and room as normal APART FROM THE GROUP OF 4, which I will show you how to kill below. What’s below should be enough, if you feel under threat, use mana shield.

Fire Spec:

Enable Combustion -> Blast Wave -> Arcane Explosion (repeat until they are all about 15% health) -> Frost Nova (then move back) -> Flamestrike -> Cone of Cold.

Frost Spec:

Ice Barrier -> Arcane Explosion (repeat until they are all about 15% health) -> Frost Nova (then move back) -> Blizzard -> Cone of Cold.

Step 3

OK, now that room is over. Carry on through the next corridor, killiung as normal. When you get into the graveyard, stop. This is where your income comes from. Make sure you have full health, mana and plenty of spirits to pull Then do the following:

Fire Spec:

Mana Shield -> Combustion

NOW RUN AROUND AND PULL AROUND 25 SPIRITS. AVOID THE ELITES. STOP PULLING IF YOU ARE DOWN TO HALF HEALTH AND THEN…

Mana Potion (if required) -> Blast Wave -> Frost Nova -> Walk away so they cant hit u before they die

Frost Spec:

Ice Barrier

NOW RUN AROUND AND PULL AROUND 25 SPIRITS. AVOID THE ELITES. YOU MAY NEED TO USE MANA SHIELD AFTER BARRIER DROPS. STOP PULLING IF YOU ARE DOWN TO HALF HEALTH AND THEN…

Mana Potion (if required) -> Arcane Explosion (repeate until all are dead, this is usually around 4 explosions)

Step 4

Now you have killed loads and loads of spirits, loot them… you will get plenty of money along with green items, which you can choose to sell at AH or Vendor when you’re done. You can carry on into the building at the end and kill the NPC’s and boss in there, then come out and reset instance, and go straight back in and do it all again (until your bags are full).

I’ve posted about this spot before awhile back but I’m taking it upon myself to do so again because I have made a sickly amount of gold here latley, and a very disturbing amount in the past 2 weeks.

As a 60 Rogue in full epic gear(bloodfang) I can kill these in about 7 seconds each, literally. The respawn rate is insanely fast, When you kill the whole spawn camp of them which is about 11-12 and take a 1 minute break you’ll start having respawns to kill.

Where does the money come from you ask?

Firstly you have some stackable gray items that are very commonly dropped:

• Large Bear Bone(Non-Stackable) – 14s 84c each
• Bear Jaw(Stackable) – 8s 98c — 89s 80c per Stack of 10.
• Savage Bear Claw(Stackable) – 5s 78c — 57s 80c per Stack of 10.
• Bear Flank(Stackable) – 5s 78c — 57s 80c per Stack of 10.
• Wicked Claw(Stackable) – 5s — 25s per Stack of 5.

I make anywhere from 9 to 13g in gray items per hour here.

Even without the skinning compared to most places this is a great camp for gold/hr. But skinning is where a lot of the money to come from if you want the results like I get.

You can skin Rugged and Thick leather off of these. My server prices are 2.50g per stack of Rugged and 1.50g per stack of Thick. Server prices are going to range, The intake of gold on this obviously is based only on my servers prices, But you will still make amazing gold here if you put the time in.

So where does all the money come from?

I take 8 hours a day and I run it here, Straight. Not every day, Usually in the evenings and into the late hours on the nights I’m not raiding and ocasionally if there is a third day I’ll get up around 7am to start and I can be done around mid afternoon so I can enjoy the day or do something else in game.

A single hour run brings on brings me in 6 Stacks of Rugged Leather and 5 stacks of Thick Leather. I don’t know if it’s because my kill rate is fast or just pure luck, But I can’t remember when I have come away from this with less leather then that in an hours run.

6x 2.50g = 15g per hour
5x 1.50g = 7.5g per hour

If I average out my usual grey items income per hour then I come away with 10.5g per hour. I’m going to edit this tomorrow and record all of my drops and leather intake from my 8 hours, But this is accurate. I’ve been making money like this for months now.

Now, On to the juicy part…

Intake per hour based on Leather sales on the AH is 22.50g Per HOUR.

Intake per hour based on sellable greys averages out at about 10.50g

33 Gold per hour.

I run this 8 hours per day, Two days a week. Sometimes 3 but rarely. Skinning is obviously required to get the bigger chuck of change for your time. Some of you all day BG’ers could make litterally thousands of gold here in a week if you took a week off from all day long BG and went here, Just a thought. And I’m not exaggerating. Thousands.

I try to run these 2 days back to back and I generally refuse to put up my auctions and vendor until I have my 16 hours worth of loot. I just throw it all in the bank.

At the end of my 2 days I usually end up taking 510g – 545g out of my mailbox. +\- a few gold for randomness of drops.

I have over 5000g in my bag right now. If you want an exact number then it’s 5649g. All of that gold was made in this spot except about 600g.

Maybe some of you should thinking of switching professions
