Some great farming spots for those of you who like a little bump n grind
If you are like me you have many times wondered where the best location would be to farm for certain items. Here I have compiled a list of different locations where I have found to be the best to farm for items at.
Black diamond
-These drop from mobs in BRD. Each is worth loads because they are used in libram enchants and also the zg enchant. Worth around 50 times more than the blue version.
Black lotus
-This is a very rare herb which sells for quite a lot. Found in Winterpsring near the blue dragons cave, Mezthoril. Also found in Badlands, Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands.
Blood of the mountain
-These are mined from Dark Iron nodes in Searing Gorge, Burning Steppes, BRD and MC. Used in a quest, high end professions. These sell very well.
Dark Runes
-Drop from most mobs in scholo. Very useful for casters but are also used in crafting so are very expensive and needed by most people.
Deviate Fish
-These are fishable in the Barrens in Wailing Caverns. You do not have to go inside the Wailing Caverns instance to catch Deviates. They can be caught in any of the pools inside the Caverns before you get to the instance.
-The fish can also be caught in Lushwater Oasis, immediately south of the Caverns and in the Stagnant Oasis, south of the Crossroads/Ratchet road. Furthermore there will now occasionally be schools of Deviates so your drop rate is 100% if your cast lands within the swirl indicating the school.
Essence of Air
-Elementals in North West Silithus. No mobs actually have a high drop rate of this and these are all non elite and very easy to kill. Make sure you are killing the air elementals not the rock ones which do not drop it. Also they drop breath of wind etc which can be sold or used.
Essence of Earth
-These can be farmed in northwest Silithus in the far corner. Also these drop from Stone Guardians in Un'Goro but those are harder to kill because they are elites.
Essence of Fire
-Elementals in Un’Goro crater, Fire Plume ridge.
Essence of Undeath
-They have a high drop rate in Scholo and Strat.
Essence of Water
-Elementals in Felwood, Iron Tree woods. These have a high drop rate I believe and there is normally somebody farming them but they have a good respawn rate so no waiting.
Felcloth
-These drops from demons in Felwood and Azshara, also from demons in Dire Maul. Current price on my server is anywhere between 1.5 gold and 3 gold a piece. These mobs also have a very high drop rate of runecloth and are camped by gold farmers or used to be I believe.
Ghost mushrooms
-These are used in making a dye which is used in crafting. These are found in Feralas, Maraudon, Hinterlands and also drop of Tar Lords in Un'Goro.
Guardian Stones
-Drop from the elite guardians wandering around Un'goro. Though they are 61 Elites, they are extremely slow and soloable by most 60s. Stones are used in Cloak of Warding and sell for 3.5-5 gold a piece
Heart of fire
-Drop from elementals above level 45. Easily farmed from demons in North Felwood and also elementals in Un'Goro Crater.
Ichor of Undeath
-These drop from most undead mobs over level 50 (Eastern Plaguelands, Western Plaguelands, Azshara's lingering highbourne, Scholo, Strat, etc.). Used in a few patterns, most notably the new shard bags.
Incendosaur scales
-From beasts of the same name in searing gorge. Do not need to be skinned are just dropped. These are used to get up reputation for Thorium Brotherhood. These can also be sold for a high price.
Larval acid-These drop from the grubs in Eastern Plaguelands at around 5% rate and sells for 8-10 gold a piece.
-Carrion Spawns/Devourers in Eastern Plaguelands and Western Plaguelands.
Linen Cloth
-Westfall is the best area for this. You can either clear out the mines or go kill some of the other humanoids. Simple yet effective!
Living Essence
-Tar elementals in Un'goro drop occasionally - better drop rates are found on the plants in DM East and West (Lashes in East, trees in west), sell for 8-10 gold each. Very rare as they are needed for Hide of the Wild.
Mageweave-Most mobs in Tanaris drop a decent amount of this. Either the trolls who occupy the ruins or the humans that are called wastewanders (not the pirates).
-Deadwood furbolgs in Felwood. These are also farmed for rep with Timbermaw furbolgs so you can kill two birds with one stone.
Powerful Mojo-Drop from trolls which are over lvl 55. Drop from elite trolls in ZG and also from undead trolls in Western Plaguelands. The Undead trolls are called Mossflayers. Used in profesions.
Primal Tiger Leather-Skinned from tigers in ZG. These are not farmable except for in a ZG raid group.
Righteous Orbs-These drop from humanoids i.e. scarlet soldiers etc in a stratholme scarlet run. Used in enchants and are very expensive. They also they drop off of Scarlet Elite's(that’s the name of the mob). They are in Western Plaguelands above the lumber camp.
Rugged Leather-Yetis in Winterspring are easily the best. Southeast of Everlook in the ice thistle hills region are humanoids around level 53 which are skinnable. They do not drop cloth but many people kill them for a quest and are not skinners. So you can kill them loot some cash and skin them and also skin the mobs killed by others.
Runecloth-Mobs in Tyr's Hand. These are mainly elite humanoids who are level 54. These can be killed easily by level 60s. Also these are very good for just farming gold as they are humans.
Furbolgs in Winterspring. These are due east of Everlook and very easy to kill. Non elites so anybody can kill them. If you’re a mage its heaven just AOE and you can get a lot of runecloth.
-Ogres in Deadwind Pass. Like furbolgs they are non-elite but have more health. I would say that the furbolgs would be easier to kill.
Shadowcat Hides-Skinned from Shadow Mars in Stranglethorn Vale and Swamp of Sorrows.
Silithis Chitin
-These are skinned from elites in Silithus. They can be vendored for 2 gold a stack. Also the elites drop an item for reputation with the bronze dragons and greys. Also when skinned they can drop a grey which is worth 1 gold for a stack of 20.
Silk Cloth-Soloing SM is the best way due to the fact you get a lot of silk on 1 mob and money drops are decent. Also you can get the scarlet sets which sell very well and junk items can be vendored for money or disenchanted if you prefer.
-Killing harpies in Thousand Needles is another great way. They are not elite and don't have a whole lot of hit points so they can be easily killed by lower levels as they are level 28-30. They also drop Vibrant Plumes which can sell for around 80 silver per stack.
Spider silk
-These drop from Spiders in Stonetalon Mountains. Mainly around the entrance and exit of Deep talonpath which is the path to Ashenvale. They are around level 25 I believe.
Stonescale Eels
-Any high level coastal spot in Kalimdor (Tanaris, Feralas, Azshara) gives Stonescale Eels, which consistently sell for 1 gold or more each. However, please note the time of day, sometimes, you won't see anything and other times you will have excellent results. I have experienced better results with this late at night.
Thick Leather
-Most beasts which are skinnable in The Hinterlands drop thick leather when skinned. As mostly around level 49 they are easily farmable by 50s and 60s. Also you can get leather by skinning yetis which drop some as well.
Turtle Scales
-Skinned from any turtles. These can be found near Steamwheel Port, in the Hinterlands, Tanaris and in Hillsbrad Foothills. Used in Leatherworking.
Volatile Rum
-You can farm these at the pirate cave in Tanaris. It's a great leveling spot also!
Reputation Guide for Ogrila
Reputation = Lot's of Gold
Ogri'la is located on the western edge of the Blades Edge Mountains between Forge Camp Terror and Forge Camp Wrath. You can only access Ogri'la by flying mount or flight form. The easiest way to reach Ogri'la is by flying dead west of Sylvanaar.
General Information
Ogri'la is a village of ogres who have overcome their brutish nature and broken away from the domination of the Gronn lords. They are in constant battle with the Dragons of the Black Dragonflight, the Burning Legion, and the Gronn lords that still hold control over many of the ogre communites of Blades Edge Mountains.
According to lore, the ogres' proximity to Apexis formations is what have enabled them to attain a higher level of civilization than other ogres. The Ogri'la ogres are aided by the Sha'tari skyguard and players that have defeated the Sons of Gruul.
Apexis shards and crystals are the currency of Ogri'la. After attaining enough reputation with Ogri'la to purchase rewards, you will need to use Apexis Shards and Apexis crystals to buy them. Apexis shards come as rewards for the daily repeatable quests that are available to you in Ogri'la. They can also be looted from nearby beasts and from Apexis formations.
Many of the Rare and Epic quality items sold on the reputation vendor also you to have some of the much less common Apexis Crystals. Apexis crystals can only be looked from the summoned dragons and demons in the zone. These are elite boss mobs that mimic many classic raid bosses on a smaller scale. It requires 35 Apexis Shards to summon these bosses and a balanced party of five players is needed to defeat them. Each party member will be able to loot one Apexis Crystal.
Flasks and More....
Apexis shards also serve as currency for acquiring special flasks, found from different dispensers across the map. These flasks can only be only be used in Blades Edge Mountains and Gruul's Lair, and will save you hundreds of gold when raiding that instance. Once every two hours, a group of Sha'tari Skyguard will launch an attack against Bash'ir Landing to the north east. They fly out from the Skyguard Base.
Three waves of enemies will spawn and attack the Skyguard NPC's, each wave stronger then the previous. It is your job to ensure that the Skyguard NPC's survive for as long as possible. If all of the Skyguard NPC's are killed the event ends. At the end of each wave a boss has to be defeated. Once he is defeated a vendor will appear to sell special items. Three different vendors are available, but only one will spawn for each wave defeated.
The first sells special flasks that cannot be attained at any other time. The second vendor to spawn will sell rare gems. The third vendor to spawn will sell rare meta gems. You must use Apexis Shards as currency for these vendors. The waves and subsequent bosses that spawn during this event get increasingly difficult. In order to complete the event, a well organized raid of at least 25 people is needed.
Gaining Ogrila Reputation
The quest line for gaining reputation with Ogri'la begins in Lower City and leads to an ogre named Mog'dorg the Wizened in Blades Edge Mountains. He will give you three quests to destroy the three Sons of Gruul: “Grulloc Has Two Skulls”, “Maggoc's Treasure Chest”, and “Even Gronn Have Standards”.
You will need a balanced five person group to complete these quests. After your group has completed these three tasks, return to Mog'dorg the Wizened and he will send you on two more five-man quests. After completing these you will attain Neutral standing with Ogri'la and will be able to acquire quests there.
Do all available quests in Ogri'la and the Skyguard base, including five-mans. Doing so will open up daily repeatable quests, often known simply as “dailies”. At Neutral reputation you can open unlock three different daily quests. These quests give 500 reputation points each, as well as 15 apexis crystals. They are, “The Relic's Emanation”, “Wrangle Some Aether Rays!”, and “Bombing Run”.
At honored reputation you will then unlock another daily:
“Banish the Demons”. It is at this point that you will also be able to do the Shartuul event. While doing your daily quests you will encounter an item called a “Depleted Crystal Focus”. When this is combined with ten Apexis Shards it becomes a “Charged Crystal Focus”. While it looks like – and can serve as – a normal Health Stone, it is best saved for completing the Shartuul event where these will be required to enhance the demons under your control. As said in the tool tip of a “Charged Crystal Focus”, Kronk in Ogri'la can tell you all about the Shartuul event.

Ogrila Reputation Rewards
Skyguard Rep Guide
Reputition = Lot's of Gold
Any player in the World of Warcraft can raise their Skyguard reputation and start out as neutral with them.
The Sha'tari Skyguard is an air wing of the Sha'tar of Shattrath City, defenders of the capital from attacks from the hills.
To raise your reputation with them, you will be battling the Arakkoa of Terokk in the peaks of Skettis as well.
Skyguard has two different outposts, one that lies close to Ogri'la and one that is in the northern area of the Skethyl Mountains.
The Skyguard quests are linked with the Orgi'La Faction in the Blades Edge Mountains, and you will be able to raise your reputation with both by completing some of these quests. When you start out gaining your reputation for Skyguard, you will start two different quest chains.
One will lead you into the Barrier Hills and the other will lead you into the Lower City and then up into the Blades Edge Mountains. The second quest chain will bring your reputation with Ogri'La up first, but it actually makes the grinding easier if you do the quests in the Blades Edge Mountains and the Ogri'La quests at the same time.
One thing that you will need to remember with the Skyguard reputation quests is that most of the quests will require you to have a flying mount already, so you will be level 70 and therefore not gain any experience points for kills.
From neutral to friendly:
When you start out on your reputation quests for Skyguard, you'll start in Shattrath City with the quests given by Yuula, which are “Threat From Above” and “To Skettis!”. “Threat From Above” will have you kill 20 Gordunni Ogres, and turn this in to Yuula, then you'll get “To Skettis!”, which will have you simply deliver a package to Sky Sergeant Doryn in Skettis.
Once you get to him, he'll give you the first of the daily quests, which is “Fires Over Skettis” and will have you bombed 20 Monstrous Kalari Eggs. Near him is Severin, who will also give you quests. He will give you “World of Shadows”. Once you complete that quest, you can then get “More Shadow Dust”, which is a daily quest that you can do to gain more reputation points with Skyguard. You can also get “Secrets of the Talonpriests” from Sky Commander Adaris once you have completed “World of Shadows”. Although this isn't a daily quest, it does gain you good reputation points.
From neutral to friendly:
To begin this part of your reputation quest, you must have your riding skill of 300. You will get the quest “In Service of the Illidari” from Mordenai. This quest is fun, as it turns you into a fel orc when you get to the Dragonmaw Base Camp or Netherwing Ledge. It will also turn your mount into a Netherdrake. You have to deliver Illidari Service Papers to Overlord Mor'ghor who is on Netherwing Ledge. He will then give you “Enter the Taskmaster”. This quest will have you find, and speak with, Taskmaster Varkule Dragonbreath, who will give you the beginnings of the daily quests.
After you turn them all in, you can talk to Skyguard Handler Deesak, who will give you “Hungry Nether Rays”. This quest will have you kill 10 Blackwind Warp Chasers.
You can also get another daily quest, “Escape from Skettis” from any of the Skyguard Prisoners that you find, as this is an escort quest where you simply escort the prisoner to the ground. And, since it's a daily quest, you can do this one every day as you come across prisoners.
From here, you'll start another chain that is pretty much just running back and forth for a couple of quests. The chain starts when you kill Ishaal for the “Secrets of the Talonpriests” quest, when he will drop an Almanac that will start “Ishaal's Almanac”. You'll take this to Adaris, for that part of the chain.
You'll then get “An Ally in Lower City” from Adaris, which will have you take the almanac to Rilak.
He will then give you “Countdown to Doom”, which will have you return to Adaris.
Then, you will talk to Hazzik, who will give you “Hazzik's Bargain”. Once you turn this in, you'll get “A Shabby Disguise” and “Adversarial Blood” (this second quest is repeatable). You will want to do “Adversarial Blood” as many times as you can, as its one of the higher reputation yeilding quest for Skyguard. You will then get “Terokk's Downfall”, which is a group quest and you will need 5 good players for it. The good thing about this part is that it earns you 1000 reputation points with Skyguard.
This quest is given by Sky Commander Adaris. After doing the group quest, you should be at least to friendly, or right on the lip of it if you haven't done a lot of the daily quests.
From friendly to honored:
The next area that you will go to for quests is the Blade's Edge Mountains, where the Skyguard Outpost is. You will actually get a quest from Chu'a'lor (who is Ogri'La), called “The Skyguard Outpost” that will take you there. From that point, you'll speak to Sky Commander Keller, to turn it in. He will also give you “To Rule The Skies”, which is a group quest, so make sure that you have some friends ready for this one.
You can also get “Assault on Bash'ir Landing”, after you complete the others that he gives you, which will just have you speak to someone and is an easy quest to do to gain reputation points. You'll then talk to Sky Sergeant Vanderlip who will give you “Bombing Run” which will have you bomb 15 stacks of Fel Cannonballs. Once you finish it, you'll get “Bomb Them Again”, which is another daily quest.
Then, you speak to Skyguard Khatie, who gives you “Wrangle Some Aether Rays”. Once you finish this quest, you'll get “Wrangle More Aether Rays”, which is a daily quest. Now, you find Chu'a'lor again, and he will give you “Guardian of the Monument” which is another group quest. After this quest, you'll get “An Apexis Relic” and then the daily quest “The Relic's Emanation”.
From honored to exalted:
From here, you should be over honored by now, especially if you are doing the daily quests. The next two quests you'll get from Kronk, and they are: “Banish the Demons” and “Banish More Demons”, which is a daily quest. You will pretty much do the daily quests from here on in until you reach exalted.
You will also get 5 reputation points from any Skettis that you kill in the Skettis Valley, and 2 1/5 reputation points from each Skettis Kaliri that you kill in the Skettis Plateau. So, even though these aren't a lot, if you grind as you are doing your daily quests, you can rack up some extra reputation points each day.
Your Sha'tari Skyguard NetherRay: Once you hit exalted with Skyguard, you will also need to have a level 300 Artisan riding skill and 200 gold to gain your NetherRay. There are several colors to choose from: blue, purple, green, silver, and red.

Netherwing Reputation Guide
Reputation = Lot's of Gold
For those who are ready to get those Netherwing Drake flying mounts, raising your reputation with Netherwing is the only way to get there. Just like with Skyguard, you will start off hated and you have to work your way up to exalted to gain the flying mount that increases your speed 280%.
So, just how do you do this? While some quests can only be done once a day, there is plenty that you can do to raise your reputation as fast as possible. (You will have to already have a flying mount to even begin this process, as one of the first quests that you get will require one.)
Here is a basic path that you can follow to go from hated to exalted with Netherwing:
From hated to neutral: To begin your questing to become neutral with Netherwing, you will first talk to Mordenai at the Netherwing Fields, east of the Sanctum of the Stars, which is the Scryer base in Shadowmoon Valley. He will give you the quest “Kindness”, which will require you to kill Rocknail Flayers that will feed the Netherwing Drakes in the field.
Once you turn this in to Mordenai, you will then get “Seek Out Neltharaku”. Neltharaku is the Netherwing Dragon who flies up above the fields, so this is where your flying mount comes in. Once you find him and are able to talk to him, you will get “Neltharaku's Tale”, which is just listening to him. Then, you will get “Infiltrating Dragonmaw Fortress”. This quest will have you kill Dragonmaw Orcs. One of the fastest ways to do this quest is to go to Netherwing Ledge and kill the Dragonmaw Peons, since you can kill 2-4 at a time.
Now, Neltharaku will have you do “To Netherwing Ledge!” which will have you collecting Nethervine Crystals. Next, comes “The Force of Neltharaku” which will have you rescuing Netherwing Drakes in Dragonmaw Fortress. After this quest, you will get “Karynaku”, which requires you to speak with Karynaku inside Dragonmaw Fortress. Karynaku will send you to “Zuluhed the Whacked”.
This quest is a group quest that will require at least 4 good players, if not 5, to complete. (Beware his Rain of Fire spell, as it does a ton of damage to anyone in the group, as well as the demon who spawns from the portal. You can move Zuluhed to another room to avoid this.) Once you complete this quest, you will get “Ally of the Netherwing”. You return to Mordenai and turn this in, gaining 42,000 reputation points and put you with neutral with Netherwing.
From neutral to friendly:
To begin this part of your reputation quest, you must have your riding skill of 300. You will get the quest “In Service of the Illidari” from Mordenai. This quest is fun, as it turns you into a fel orc when you get to the Dragonmaw Base Camp or Netherwing Ledge. It will also turn your mount into a Netherdrake. You have to deliver Illidari Service Papers to Overlord Mor'ghor who is on Netherwing Ledge. He will then give you “Enter the Taskmaster”. This quest will have you find, and speak with, Taskmaster Varkule Dragonbreath, who will give you the beginnings of the daily quests.
The first of the daily quests is the “Netherwing Crystals” which has you collect 40 Netherwing Crystals each day for the reputation points. The second of the daily quests will depend on your gathering skill: “Nethermine Flayer Hide” if you are a skinner, “Nethercite Ore” if you are a miner, or “Netherdust Pollen” if you are an herbalist.
The next batch of daily quests comes from Yarzill the Merc. He has two quests that are daily quests, and one that isn't. The first quest he will give you is “A Slow Death”, which is one of the daily quests. During this quest, you'll have to go and gather Fel Glands that will be used with Yarzill's Mutton.
These glands drop off Felboars, Vilewing Chimaera, Felfire Diemetradon, and several other mobs in the area. Sometimes the peons you try to poison with the glands won't take it, so it's a good idea that you get more than the original 12 so you can do all of the poisoning at once.
The next daily quest that he gives you is “The Not-So-Friendly Skies”, and you will gather 10 Netherwing Relics for this one. The last quest that he'll give you is “The Great Netherwing Egg Hunt” and this one isn't a daily quest. But, the eggs have a very low drop rate, so this quest takes forever to do and repeat, so it isn't feasible that you will be able to do it more than once a day or two.
But, these quests will get you to friendly with Netherwing, and once you hit that reputation level with them, there are a lot more quests to do. Friendly is about the halfway point to Exalted with Netherwing, and you know which daily quests you can do to help up your reputation points every day you log on.
From friendly to honored:
When you get to friendly with Netherwing you will get an awesome combat pet to help you with your quests until you hit exalted. The good thing is that this pet can be used to tank for you and you can shoot or cast without damage, but the bad thing is that this pet can only be used in Shadowmoon Valley.
The first quest that you get after you hit friendly is from Taskmaster Varkule Dragonbreath on Netherwing Ledge, and it's called “Rise, Overseer!”, and it sends you to Overlord Mor'ghor. Mor'ghor will give you “The Netherwing Mines” where you'll find the Mistress of the Mines on Netherwing Ledge. Follow the paths to the very bottom western part of Netherwing Ledge to find her and complete this quest.
She will give you “Picking up the Pieces”, which is a daily quest as well. This quest will have you get 15 Netherwing cargo crates which you will find all over the mine. You will also meet the Dragonmaw Foreman who is next to the Mistress of the Mines and he will give you another daily quest that is called “Dragons are the Least of Our Problems”. This daily quest will have you kill 5 Nethermine Ravagers and 15 Nethermine Flayers. These two daily quests can be done together to finish them faster.
You can also get another quest line that will give you Netherwing reputation points as well, which is the Murkblood quest line. The very first quest that you'll get with this line is “Ronag the Slave Drive” and you will have to kill Crazed Murkblood Miners. Once this one is done, you'll get “The Great Murkblood Revolt” which will lead you back to the Mistress of the Mine.
After this one, the last part is called “Seeker of Truth” where you have to kill a Murkblood Overseer, who is found on the northern side of the ledge. Then, it's back to the Mistress once more.
After all of these are completed, you will seek out Chief Overseer Mudlump, who will give you “Overseeing and You: Making the Right Choices”. You'll have to bring him 10 Knothide Leathers and 1 Hardened Hide of Tyrantus. If you aren't a skinner, you can purchase the leathers on the AH, and you'll find Tyrantus in Netherstorm. He is about at the very farthest point north there, so head to Stormspire and go north.
After this quest, you'll get the next daily quest for Netherwing reputation, “The Booterang: A Cure for the Common Worthless Peon”. This is one daily quest that you'll like doing, since you pretty much get to hit the peons on the head to make them go back to work. By doing these quests, and the daily ones, you will get to honored pretty fast.
From honored to revered:
Head to Taskmaster Varkule and he'll give you “Stand Tall, Captain!”, which will send you again to Overlord Mor'ghor, who will then give you “Captain's Badge”. This is the trinket that you'll use to summon your combat pet that was mentioned earlier. You'll also get “Disrupting the Twilight Portal” which is also a daily quest, and will have you kill 20 Deathshadow Agents. After you turn this quest in, you'll need to find Illidari Lord Balthas, who will be the next quest giver for Netherwing.
You will find Illidari Lord Balthas on Netherwing Ledge, by the other quest givers that you've already spoken to. He'll give you “The Soul Cannon of Reth'hedron”. This quest will require you to get 2 Felsteel Bars, 1 Adamantite Frame, 1 Khorium Power Core, and 1 Flawless Arcane Essence. Most of these mats are fairly easy to get, except for the Flawless Arcane Essence. To get the essence, you'll need to visit Sar'this in Terokkar Forest just north of the Bone Wastes by the mountains.
He'll give you a quest that will have you kill elementals around the area, and will also give you the essence you need. After you turn in “The Soul Cannon of Reth'hedron”, you'll get “Subdue the Subduer”. You will use the Soul Cannon on Reth'hedron the Subduer up on Twilight Ridge, and west of Forge Camp: Hate.
Now comes the fun part of the Netherwing reputation grinding! You get to start doing the flying mount racing quests, which consists of 7 different quests. The first 6 give you 500 reputation points each, and the last gives you 1000 as well as a trinket that gives you 10% faster mount speed: the Skybreaker Whip. The first quest you'll get is called “Earning Your Wings”, and the rest are called “Dragonmaw Races”, which have you race against 6 other npc's.
From revered to exalted:
Now that you are revered with Netherwing, you can begin the quests that will take you to exalted and to your Netherdrake. Find Taskmaster Varkule once more, because he'll upgrade your combat pet's trinket when you do “Hail, Commander!”. Turn this in to Mor'ghor, and he'll give you “Kill Them All!” For this quest, all you'll need to do is to turn in some news of your mission and the Dragonmaw Flare Gun to either Anchorite Ceyla at the Altar of Sha'tar (for Aldor alligned players) or Arcanist Thelis at the Sanctum of the Stars in Shadowmoon Valley (for Scryer alligned players).
You will then get the last of the daily quests, which is “The Deadliest Trap Ever Laid”, where you'll have to defend your Aldor or Scryer base from the Dragonmaw Skybreakers. You can solo this if you have healing abilities, but it's always a good idea to have a group with you when you start this one. From here, you continue to do this daily quest until you hit exalted.
Remember that by doing the daily quests each day, you'll be on your way to getting your Netherdrake faster than if you can only do them every week or so. As you do them, make a note of the ones that give you the most reputation points so you can be sure to do those each day to gain more points.
When you finally get to the point to choose your Netherdrake, you will be flown back to Shattrath City and you will receive your first Netherdrake for the huge price of FREE. The Netherdrakes you want after the first one will cost you 200 gold and will give you a 280% flight speed increase upon your ground mounts. There are several different colors of Netherdrakes to choose from: purple, onxy, violet, cobalt, azure, and veridian. So, good luck on your questing and have fun with your Netherdrake!

Timbermaw Hold Reputation Guide
Reputation = Lot's of Gold
The Timbermaw Hold faction has been around since WoW’s first release.
The Timbermaw Furbolgs have their quarter at the Timbermaw Hold, which can be found in the tunnel between Felwood and Winterspring.
Since, unlike most other factions, you start as Hostile with this faction, there will be some quests you should complete before you can enter the Timbermaw Hold.
Becoming Unfriendly:
•Go to Felwood and accept Timbermaw Ally (1400 rep) from Grazle (51.0, 85.0). Complete this quest by killing the Deadwood mobs in Felpaw Village to the southwest.
•Take Speak To Nafien (100 rep) from Grazle (51.0, 85.0) and take Feathers for Grazle which is a repeatable quest.
•Go back to Felpaw Village and kill more Furbolgs. You receive 20 reputation for each Deadwood Furlbolg you kill, in addition, Chieftain Bloodmaw gives 60 reputation.
•Gather all the Deadwood Headdress Feathers but DO NOT hand these in until you hit revered.
Becoming Neutral, Honored and Revered:
•Head towards Felpaw Village and grind your way to Revered. This will be time-taking but luckily, the amount of reputation you gain has been multiplied by four. Where in the old days you would get 5 reputation per kill, you now get 20 reputation.
•Save all your Deadwood Headdress Feathers and hand them in once you get to revered.
Becoming Exalted:
•Now that you are Revered, it is time to hand in all those Deadwood Headdress Feathers. You hand them in in batches of 5 and you will receive 500 reputation for each batch.
•While grinding to Revered you should have found the Deadwood Ritual Totem (1400 rep). Also make sure you have 30 Runecloth on you.
•Head north to Nafien (64.8, 8.2) and hand in Speak To Nafien. Accept Deadwood of the North (1400 rep) and kill the mobs just west of him.
•Hand in Deadwood of the North (1400 rep).
•Head into Timbermaw Hold. Hand in Deadwood Ritual Totem (1400 rep) at Kernda (65.4, 2.7).
•Take Runecloth (1000 rep) from Meilosh inside the Timbermaw Hold and complete it by handing in 30 Runecloth.
•Head to Winterspring and accept Winterfall Activity (1400 rep) from Salfa (27.8, 34.5).
•Head east to Winterfall Village and kill the mobs. Hand in Winterfall Activity (1400 rep).
•You’re now able to find Winterfall Spirit Beads on defeated Furlbolgs in Winterspring which you can hand in per 5, for 500 reputation at Salfa.
•The Furbolgs in Winterspring also drop the Winterfall Ritual Totem (1400 rep) which you can hand in at Kernda inside the Timbermaw Hold.
•Now it is just a matter of grinding Furlbolgs in Winterspring for those Spirit Beads and handing them in for rep. One way to boost your reputation gain a bit is by killing Highchief Winterfall (69.6, 38.3) for 50 reputation.
Getting from Unfriendly to Exalted with the Timbermaw Hold isn’t really complicated. The most important thing one should know is that handing in the Spirit Beads and Dreadwood Headdress Feathers before hitting revered is a big mistake if you intend to go for the Exalted status with the Timbermaw Hold faction.

Cenarion Circle Reputation Guide
Reputation = Lot's of Gold
The Cenarion Circle is a well known faction in WoW. They have been around for 4 years yet most people do not have an exalted reputation with this faction, yet. After you read this guide you might want to take your chances and gain exalted reputation with this faction in no-time. The Cenarion Circle has their main quarter in Moonglade, the Druid city behind Felwood.
However, all the quests that you can do to gain fast reputation with this faction must be done in Silithus, where the Druids of the Cenarion Circle can be found at the Cenarion Hold.
Since the Cenarion Circle consist from mainly Druids, it is not more than normal that Druid players get a small bonus to their reputation. This means that they start with two out of three thousand reputation points toward the Friendly status. While they level up they will even receive additional reputation with the Cenarion Circle for doing their Druid quests.
Everybody starts of as Neutal with the Cenarion Circle. To get to honored it is advisable that you kill all the Twilight mobs that can be found in the Twilight camps around SIlithus. Since you now receive 10 reputation per kill, no matter what level you are, you can imagine that you would be able to get to exalted in no-time.
Luckily you do not only have to kill these mobs to gain the Exalted status. You can also hand in the Encrypted Twilight Texts at the Cenarion Hold in batches of 10. One batch of 10 will give you 500 reputation with the Cenarion Hold. Since the twilight mobs have around 20% chance to drop the Twilight Texts, you might say that getting Exalted started to look even better.
While killing the Twilight mobs, you will also notice that large amounts of Twilight Robes, Cowls and Shoulder parts drop. You should try to gather a set. Once you have a complete set you should equip it and go to one of the Lesser Wind Stones. Touch it and a Templar will appear. Once you kill it, you will be able to loot an Abyssal Crest. These Abyssals Crests can be hand in at the Cenarion Hold in packs of 3 for an additional 150 rep.
Grinding the Twilight mobs and handing in the Encrypted Twilight Texts and Abyssal Crests is a fast way to get to Exalted. You could also choose to go to AQ20 with a few friends or a raid since all the mobs will give 10 reputation and the bosses even more.
Besides the repeatable quests mentioned above there are also several quests that can only be done once but still give a nice amount of reputation. However, I have recently gained the Exalted status with my main character and grinding the Twilight Cultists and doing those hand ins is a nice way to get to Exalted. Another nice welcome is that these Twilight Cultists really drop LOADS of Runecloth. That Runecloth you could hand in at one of the Major Cities, Horde or Alliance, to gain an exalted status. So basically you are hitting two birds with one stone. Another welcome plus is that those Templars have quite a nice chance to drop blue items.

Reputation = Lot's of Gold
The Frenzyheart Tribe can only be found in the Sholazar Basin. These wolf-like NPC’s, Wolvar, aka Puppymen, fight an ongoing war with The Oracles, which is also a faction and can be found in the Sholazar Basin as well.
Increasing your reputation with The Oracles will decrease your reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe, so avoid that. Once you gain exalted reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe however, you can choose to get exalted with The Oracles too.
There is one quest that needs to be completed before you can gain reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe. The quest is called The Part-time Hunter and you receive this quest from Tamara Wobblesprocket (50.5, 62.1). You must kill Pitch (50, 77) and this will be your first encounter with the Frenzyheart Tribe. It is Gekgek that will give you a quest called Playing Along (700 rep). From there on you will be able to do a chain quest and other quests that will boost your reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe. You can see the quests that give Frenzyheart Tribe reputation below:
•Frenzyheart Champion (17214 rep)
•Sholazar Basin A Rough Ride (700 rep)
•Flown the Coop! (700 rep)
•Sholazar Basin Hoofing It (700 rep)
•Lightning Definitely Strikes Twice (1000 rep)
•Mischief in the Making (700 rep)
•The Ape Hunter's Slave (700 rep)
•The Mist Isn't Listening (700 rep)
•The Sapphire Queen (1000 rep)
•The Underground Menace (1000 rep)
•The Wasp Hunter's Apprentice (700 rep)
•Tormenting the Softknuckles (1000 rep)
Next to these quests, there are also several daily quests that can be completed to gain additional reputation.
•Chicken Party! (250 rep)
•Kartak's Rampage (350 rep)
•Secret Strength of the Frenzyheart (350 rep)
•Tools of War (350 rep)
•A Hero's Headgear (500 rep)
•Rejek: First Blood (500 rep)
•Strength of the Tempest (250 rep)
•The Heartblood's Strength (500 rep)
Once you get Revered with the Frenzyheart Tribe, there is a mysterious item, the Disgusting Jar. After 7 days this item will turn into a Ripe Disgusting Jar, which when opened, might give you some nice healing & mana potions or, more important, Frenzyheart Brew! This item has a 30 min cooldown, endless charges and turns you into a Wolvar for 5 minutes!
If you would like to get the exalted status you can do 8 daily quests per day and gain about 3000 rep per day. This means that you’re only 1 week away from that exalted trinket and another achievement.
Getting reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe is fun and rewarding. It doesn’t necessarily have to take you a lot of time if you make sure you complete the chain quest and then do those dailies. Once you are Exalted with these guys you could choose to become Exalted with The Oracles.
There is an achievement that requires you to become exalted with both the Frenzyheart Tribe and The Oracles. I would advise that, if you plan to raise your reputation to Exalted with both factions, you end with the one that is most dearest to you, and probably, which trinket you would really like to be able to use since you can’t equip them if you don’t have the Exalted status with the factions.

Argent Crusade Reputation Guide
Reputation = Lot's of Gold
Most of you know the Argent Dawn, a faction that can be found in the Eastern Plaguelands at Light Hope’s Chapel.
The Argent Crusade is a wing of the Argent Dawn, and, together with the Knights of the Silver Hand, they fight the battle against the Scourge with only one ultimate goal; bringing down the Lich King.
The following camps are inhabited with members of the Argent Crusade:
•Dawn's Reach, which can be found in the far east part of Dragonblight.
•Light's Breach, which can be found in the center of Zul'drak.
•The Argent Stand, also to be found in the center of Zul'drak.
•The Argent Vanguard, which can be found on the southern part of the Icecrown Glacier.
There are many quests that give reputation with the Argent Crusade faction and you can also buy the Tabard of the Argent Crusade from their Quartermaster once you get the Friendly status with the Argent Crusade. You can wear this Tabard in any level 80 dungeon to receive reputation for each mob that you kill inside the instance.
There is one trick to get thousands of reputation points with the Argent Crusade in no-time. There is a quest in Zul’drak called Pa’Troll. This quest can be taken at The Argent Stand. This quest will give you 4 objectives and you can complete one of them for 250 reputation, without handing in the quest. You can then remove the quest Pa’Troll from your quest log and take it again at The Argent Stand.
Now it makes sense that you will complete the easiest of the 4 objectives which is the following one: Lab Work. This part of the quest requires you to search four materials in a lab and take them back to the quest giver.
Lab Work:
‘Alchemist Finklestein at Heb'Valok wants you to find a Muddy Mire Maggot, a Withered Batwing, an Amberseed, and some Chilled Serpent Mucus from within his laboratory.’
The lab is right behind the quest giver, so this quest is really easy and will only take a minute of your time. After you complete this part you get 250 reputation and you should delete the quest from your quest log. Take it again at the Argent Stand and complete this quest again and again.
All together it is not more than 2 minutes work for 250 reputation which equals to 7500-10000 reputation per hour. It might not be the most fun way, but definitely the most efficient one. Imagine yourself doing this one hour per day and reaching exalted status within 4 days (excluding all other reputation gains from instances, other quests etc.).
Next to the 250 reputation you will also receive 6 gold per turn in and 2100 XP (which is also converted to gold if the player is 80). Doing this quest 30 times (1 hour) would not only mean that you would receive a lot of reputation, it would also mean that you get 180 gold and 63000 XP. Not bad for an hours work.

Reputation Guide for Scryer
Reputation = Lot's of Gold
When you finally hit that coveted level 60 mark and head into the Outlands, you will need to decide which order you should align yourself with: Aldor or Scryer. For those who choose to go with Scryer, the main perks of aligning your character with them is the added critical strike rating once you gain enough reputation with them.
Just like with Aldor, you will be doing quests that will have you gathering certain items, such as tokens, and helping the Scryers with their quests in Nagrand, the Terokkar Forest, and the Blade's Edge Mountains.
The Scryers are an ancient order of blood elves, led by Voren'thal the Seer, who live in Shattrath City. This group detached from Prince Kael'thas and instead, gave their assistance to the Naaru at Shattrath City, keeping them at war with the Aldor. They are in a constant struggle for power in Shattrath City against the Aldor and are trying to win favor with the Naaru.
In the beginning, any player that is already a blood elf will automatically be friendly with the Scryers and hostile with the Aldor, just as draenei players will be friendly with the Aldor and hostile with the Scryers. Of course, this can be changed by doing quests for either side. Once you have completed the “City of Light” quest, you will be given the choice of which side to align your player with. Once you have aligned your character with Scryer and begin doing quests for reputation points with them, you can begin to turn in epic armor tokens for Tier 4 and 5 gear to either Veynna Dawnstar (the Keeper of Sha'tari Heirlooms) or Arodis Sunblade (the Keeper of Sha'tari Artifacts) who are both located in the Seer's Library in the Scryer's Tier.
The first quest that you should get and do when you are trying to align with the Scryers is “Allegiance to the Scryers”. This one quest will increase your reputation with them by 3,500 points, which brings you to friendly with them. After this, you can start the other quests that will allow you to turn in different signets for reputation points.
Start by doing any quest that you are given to raise your reputation with the Scryers. Once you have completed the first quests, you will get several daily quests that you can do each and every day to continue to raise your reputation. Some of these quest will have you turn in Firewing Signets, Arcane Tomes, and Sunfury Signets for reputation points with the Scryers, as well as other things, such as Dampscale Basilisk Eyes.
To get from friendly to honored, you'll have to turn in 22 Firewing Signets 10 times, for honored to revered, you will have to turn in 48 Sunfury Signets 10 times, and for revered to exalted, you will have to turn in 84 Sunfury Signets 10 times. With the signet turn in quests, along with the other daily quest, you can earn a lot of reputation points each day. If you continue to turn in these signets while you are doing the daily quests, you'll hit exalted in no time with the Scryers.
To grind for the Firewing signets, you can head to Firewing Point in the Terokkar Forest, which is east of Shattrath City. All you have to do is follow the road out through Tuurem and then you take a path north that will lead you right to Firewing Point.
You can grind for these and turn them in until you are friendly with the Scryers (if you didn't do “Allegiance to the Scryers”), but once you're friendly with them, you can't use them any more to up your reputation points.
Once you hit friendly, then you can head to Netherstorm to an area called Manaforge B'naar.
This camp is also really easy to get to, as all you do is follow the road west out of Area 52, and you'll run right into it.
This is the area to grind for Sunfury Signets which will raise your reputation points with the Scryers until you are exalted. But, these only have around a 30% drop rate, about the same as the Firewing Signets. You can also get Arcane Tomes and Arcane Runes here that you can also turn in for items from the Scryer's Quartermaster, so it isn't a total waste to grind here a bit each day.
There are also several quest chains that you can get and do that will have you speak to certain people or gather items and take them to other people. These are fairly easy, and you can blow through these fast, but none are repeatable, so you only get the reputation points for them once. For players who have already aligned themselves with Aldor and are trying to switch, you can get “Vorenthal's Visions” from Arcanist Adryia, which will give you reputation points with Scryer and then lead you to the repeatable quest from her, “More Basilisk Eyes”.
The Scryers also have inscriptions that are like enchants that go on your shoulders. These can be used by anyone, any faction, once you have the reputation with the Scryers to buy them. But, they are BOP so make sure that you have the reputation to get them, and that you actually want that inscription before you get it. While Aldor adds additional damage and healing, Scryer adds more critical strike rating. For tanks, hunters, and players that want to do more damage outright, then Aldor is the way to go. But, for casters or others that are more concerned with just more power, Scryer is the way to go. Either way, players should always look at what each side has to offer and then pick the one that is the best for what they envision their character to be when all is said and done.
Here is a list of available inscriptions that the Scryers offer players who align themselves with them:
1.Greater Inscription of the Blade = this inscription will add +15 critical strike rating and +20 attack power to your shoulder item. This inscription doesn't stack on any other shoulder enchants or inscriptions.
2.Greater Inscription of the Knight = this inscription will add +15 defense rating and +10 dodge rating to your shoulder item. This doesn't stack on any other enchantments on the shoulders either.
3.Greater Inscription of the Oracle = this will give you +6 mana per second and up to +22 healing on your shoulder item. But, it doesn't stack on any other enchantment or inscription either.
4.Greater Inscription of the Orb = this one adds +15 spell critical strike rating and up to +12 spell damage to any shoulder item. And, it doesn't stack either.
These are just the lesser enchantments that you can get for your shoulders, and aren't really what you should base your decision on, but they will give you an idea of what type of inscriptions you can get from the Scryers. Remember that the Aldor inscriptions will give you more attack power, spell damage, and dodge ratings, which the Scryer inscriptions will give you more critical strike, MP5, and defense ratings.
There are other areas to consider before you chose Aldor or Scryer, such as what your professions are. Both of these orders will sell recipes for “spellthread” for those who are tailors and leatherworkers. But, each order will sell a different type of spellthread recipe. For the tailors, Aldors will sell the Golden Spellthread recipes, which give 51 healing and 18 stamina to items, while Scryer will sell Mystic Spellthread which give 25 spell damage and 15 stamina to items.
The good thing is that these recipes and the spellthread that they make aren't bind on pickup, so if you don't have a Scryer tailor in your guild, you can search out one and be able to use your mats and other items. For the leatherworkers, Aldor will offer a Vindicator's Armor Kit, which adds 8 defense ratings on chest, hands, legs, or feet, while Scryer will offer a Magister's Armor Kit that adds 3 mana every 5 seconds to chest, hands, legs, or feet. These aren't bind on pickup either, so you can trade them easily.
If you are a blacksmith, Aldor offers a fire resistance gear while the Scryers offer Arcane resistance gear. For alchemists, there really isn't that much either side can offer you, except that the Scryers offer a recipe for a potion that will give 65 fire damage for an hour. Jewelcrafters have it made, as both sides offer a couple of gem recipes that are awesome.
Hopefully, this will give you enough information to base your decision off of, when you are ready to start aligning your characters with either Scryer or Aldor.

Reputation Guide for Aldor
Reputation = Lot's of Gold!
When you finally hit that coveted level 60 mark and head into the Outlands, you will need to decide which order you should align yourself with: Aldor or Scryer. Formed by an ancient order of Draenei Priests, the Aldor continue to revere the Naaru, who are known as the Sha'tar, and continue to help them in their war against the Illidan and the Burning Legion.
You will find the Aldor mainly in Shadowmoon Valley and Shattrath City, where their holy temple sits atop Aldor Rise, watching over the city from their western perch.
The Aldors have been enemies with the blood elves, who became known as the Scryers, but have set aside their war for the Sha'tar, for now.
Since the Aldor is an ancient order, almost every player will start out as neutral with them, but most Blood Elf players will start out hostile with them and friendly to the Scryers, where Draenei players will start out friendly with Aldor and hostile to Scryers.
To begin your quest for raising your reputation with the Aldors, you need to find Khadgar in Shattrath City, where you will get the first quest for either the Aldors or the Scryers. Don't worry – if you make your pick and decide later that you want to change, the choice is reversible. When you begin to earn your reputation with the Aldor, you'll find that your reputation with the Scryers will decrease by 10% each time you gain with Aldor, and most of your reputation with the Sha'tar will gain 50% when you gain with Aldor.
Start off with the quests that will get you honored quickly with Aldor, such as the repeatable quests. These are quests that you can get over and over again to continually raise your reputation with them. A few of the quests that you should undertake while you are gaining your “honored” title, are: turning in 10 Mark of Kil'jaeden in Aldor Rise to Adyen the Lightwarden. This will give you a 250 reputation with Aldor.
You can also get a repeatable quest by turning in single Mark of Kil'jaeden's for 25 reputation points each. These marks drop off the lower ranking Burning Legion that are found all over the Outlands, such as in the two camps north of Auchindoun in Terrokar Forest. To get from friendly to honored by gathering these marks, you'll need to get around 240. These will also raise your reputation with Sha'tar as well, and players who want to raise reputations with Mag'har or Kurenai can kill orcs instead at Kil'Sorrow Fortress in Nagrand.
Once you hit honored status with Aldor, you can then move on to other quests that will earn you the exalted title. When you hit level 68, you can turn in Mark of Sargeras at the same rates that you turned in Mark of Kil'jaeden for reputation with Aldor. These marks drop from higher-ranking Burning Legion and require about the same to raise your reputation with Aldor to exalted. You can also turn these in before you hit honored status for a larger rise in reputation with Aldor.
You'll be able to get a great number of these marks by grinding away in Death's Door in Blade's Edge Mountains, since this seems to be the place where most of these mobs congregate and drop these constantly. When you run the raid instances for Aldor and kill the bosses at the end, you will earn tokens that you can trade in for epic gear. (For example, you can change in epic armor tokens for Tier 4 and Tier 5 gear with Asuur and Kelara in the Shrine of Unending Light on Aldor Rise.)
Another way to hit exalted with Aldor is to turn in Fel Armaments to Ishanah in the Shrine of Unending Light on Aldor Rise. Each Fel Armament that you turn in will give you 350 reputation points, and gain you Holy Dust, which you can trade in for shoulder enchants in the Aldor Bank from Inscriber Saalyn.
When you begin to turn in items for inscriptions, you need to make sure that you are with Aldor to gain their enchants for your shoulders. It doesn't matter what your toon is, although some will have a hard time with certain orders, as these inscriptions can be used by any player.
But, they are all bind on pickup, so you have to be aligned with that order and have the reputation with that specific faction to buy them.
With Aldor, you'll find that their enchants add additional healing or damage over the critical strike rating, which the Scryer will add more critical strike rating over healing or damage. So, for most PvE players, hunters, tanks, and pretty much anyone who want more outright damage from their toon, Aldor is the best one to align with. For PvP players looking for great enchants and more critical strike damage, Scryer is the best one to align with. But, you should look over what both sides can offer your toon and then decide which is the best to go with.
Here are some of the inscriptions that Aldor offers to players that align with them:
1.Greater Inscription of Faith = this inscription permanently adds up to 33 healing and 4 mana per second to any shoulder item. But, it doesn't stack on other enchantments for the shoulders.
2.Greater Inscription of Discipline = this inscription permanently adds up to 18 spell damage and healing as well as 10 critical strike rating for spells to a shoulder item. This one doesn't stack either on other shoulder enchants.
3.Greater Inscription of Warding = this inscription permanently adds 15 dodge rating and 10 defense rating to any shoulder item. But, it also doesn't stack with other shoulder enchants.
4.Greater Inscription of Vengeance = this inscription permanently adds 30 attack power and 10 critical strike rating to any shoulder item. It also doesn't stack with other enchants.
Of course, there are lesser enchants, but they aren't really worth enough to completely base your opinion of each side on. Just remember that Aldor enchants will contain mostly attack power, spell damage, and dodge ratings while Scryer enchants will contain mostly the critical strike, MP5, and defense ratings.
There are other areas to consider before you chose Aldor or Scryer, such as what your professions are. Both of these orders will sell recipes for “spellthread” for those who are tailors and leatherworkers. But, each order will sell a different type of spellthread recipe. For the tailors, Aldors will sell the Golden Spellthread recipes, which give 51 healing and 18 stamina to items, while Scryer will sell Mystic Spellthread which give 25 spell damage and 15 stamina to items. The good thing is that these recipes and the spellthread that they make aren't bind on pickup, so if you don't have a Scryer tailor in your guild, you can search out one and be able to use your mats and other items. For the leatherworkers, Aldor will offer a Vindicator's Armor Kit, which adds 8 defense ratings on chest, hands, legs, or feet, while Scryer will offer a Magister's Armor Kit that adds 3 mana every 5 seconds to chest, hands, legs, or feet. These aren't bind on pickup either, so you can trade them easily.
If you are a blacksmith, Aldor offers a fire resistance gear while the Scryers offer Arcane resistance gear. For alchemists, there really isn't that much either side can offer you, except that the Scryers offer a recipe for a potion that will give 65 fire damage for an hour. Jewelcrafters have it made, as both sides offer a couple of gem recipes that are awesome.
Aldor offers the following gem recpies:
1.Gleaming Golden Draenite = this matches a yellow socket and gives a +6 spell critical rating.
2.Royal Shadow Draenite = this matches a blue or red socket and gives a +7 healing and +1 mana every 5 seconds.
So, you can look through this information on what the Aldors have to offer for your specific toon and professions to decide if the Aldor order is the right one for you to align yourself with.

When you finally hit that coveted level 60 mark and head into the Outlands, you will need to decide which order you should align yourself with: Aldor or Scryer. Formed by an ancient order of Draenei Priests, the Aldor continue to revere the Naaru, who are known as the Sha'tar, and continue to help them in their war against the Illidan and the Burning Legion.
You will find the Aldor mainly in Shadowmoon Valley and Shattrath City, where their holy temple sits atop Aldor Rise, watching over the city from their western perch.
The Aldors have been enemies with the blood elves, who became known as the Scryers, but have set aside their war for the Sha'tar, for now.
Since the Aldor is an ancient order, almost every player will start out as neutral with them, but most Blood Elf players will start out hostile with them and friendly to the Scryers, where Draenei players will start out friendly with Aldor and hostile to Scryers.
To begin your quest for raising your reputation with the Aldors, you need to find Khadgar in Shattrath City, where you will get the first quest for either the Aldors or the Scryers. Don't worry – if you make your pick and decide later that you want to change, the choice is reversible. When you begin to earn your reputation with the Aldor, you'll find that your reputation with the Scryers will decrease by 10% each time you gain with Aldor, and most of your reputation with the Sha'tar will gain 50% when you gain with Aldor.
Start off with the quests that will get you honored quickly with Aldor, such as the repeatable quests. These are quests that you can get over and over again to continually raise your reputation with them. A few of the quests that you should undertake while you are gaining your “honored” title, are: turning in 10 Mark of Kil'jaeden in Aldor Rise to Adyen the Lightwarden. This will give you a 250 reputation with Aldor.
You can also get a repeatable quest by turning in single Mark of Kil'jaeden's for 25 reputation points each. These marks drop off the lower ranking Burning Legion that are found all over the Outlands, such as in the two camps north of Auchindoun in Terrokar Forest. To get from friendly to honored by gathering these marks, you'll need to get around 240. These will also raise your reputation with Sha'tar as well, and players who want to raise reputations with Mag'har or Kurenai can kill orcs instead at Kil'Sorrow Fortress in Nagrand.
Once you hit honored status with Aldor, you can then move on to other quests that will earn you the exalted title. When you hit level 68, you can turn in Mark of Sargeras at the same rates that you turned in Mark of Kil'jaeden for reputation with Aldor. These marks drop from higher-ranking Burning Legion and require about the same to raise your reputation with Aldor to exalted. You can also turn these in before you hit honored status for a larger rise in reputation with Aldor.
You'll be able to get a great number of these marks by grinding away in Death's Door in Blade's Edge Mountains, since this seems to be the place where most of these mobs congregate and drop these constantly. When you run the raid instances for Aldor and kill the bosses at the end, you will earn tokens that you can trade in for epic gear. (For example, you can change in epic armor tokens for Tier 4 and Tier 5 gear with Asuur and Kelara in the Shrine of Unending Light on Aldor Rise.)
Another way to hit exalted with Aldor is to turn in Fel Armaments to Ishanah in the Shrine of Unending Light on Aldor Rise.

Outland Gold Making Strategies
Skinning in Nagrand
For those of you that have Skinning as one of your professions, Nagrand is one of the best places to go for high level skinning. If you don't complete all quests in each of the zones, you definitely want to be sure that you complete the Mastery quests at Nesingwary Safari in the northeast corner of the zone. Here you can get about a dozen quests that require you to kill various Clefthoofs, Talbuks, and Windrocs . Not only will you get a lot of experience and gold from completing these quests but you also get tons of Thick Clefthide and Knothide Leather .
Even if you aren't questing or you have already completed these quests, just patrol these areas because many other players are killing these guys which allows you to skin them even faster. With the leather selling for about 15 Gold per stack and all the other loot that I sold,
I was able to make about 85 Gold per hour here without doing much work at all.
Heavy Knothide Leather
Leatherworkers will definitely want to take advantage of the vastly popular Heavy Knothide Leather. The way you do this is first by getting the Pattern: Heavy Knothide Leather which is a Limited Supply Item sold for only 5 Gold in Shattrath by Cro Threadstrong and Darmari and also in Silvermoon City by Tyn , and Zaralda . Once you have this pattern, you can then take 5 Knothide Leathers and turn them in to 1 Heavy Knothide Leather. To get the Knothide Leather one of the best things you can do is take advantage of the previous Skinning tip in Nagrand or if you don't have Skinning as your profession, you have two options. You can either farm for it or buy it in the Auction House. For farming Knothide Leather there is a pretty good place that not too many people go to and that is in Terrokar Forest in the Skethyl Mountains . If you look at your world map, you will see a cave in the mountains where you have to fly to in order to find a lot of Blackwind Sabercats . They do a fair amount of damage but for farming Knothide Leather this area worked the best for me. If you prefer to buy from the Auction House instead, you should be able to find some lower auctions around 13 Gold per stack for the Knothide Leather. To make a stack of 20 Heavy Knothide Leathers, you will need a total of 100 Knothide Leather. If you buy them from the Auction House, this will cost you between 60 and 65 Gold which sounds like a lot. However, a stack of the Heavy Knothide Leather that this makes will fetch you between 90 and 100 Gold for those 20 pieces you just made. That's an easy 35 Gold just for buying items from the Auction House and then putting the crafted Heavy Knothide Leather right back up for sale. If you do have skinning and you are collecting your own leather, than the 100 Gold you make is 100% profit! To date, I have made over 750 Gold from doing this strategy alone!!
Cobra Scales
Over in Shadowmoon Valley at Coilskar Cistern , you will find Coilskar Cobras .
At first glance, you will only a see about 4 but if you go inside the cave, you will see a lot more. What you are looking for here are Cobra Scales which are needed by Leatherworkers to make higher end items such as Nethercobra Leg Armor and Cobrascale Gloves . They don't have a very high drop rate but they are worth 25 - 30 Gold EACH in the Auction House. I farmed these guys for 2 hours and got 7 during this time which earned me 105 Gold per hour just from the Scales that I sold. This doesn't even take into account the greens and vendor trash that you can sell as well which can increase this to about 150 Gold per hour!
Primal Might
Alchemists should learn how to make Primal Mights as soon as they can. This limited supply pattern is sold in Shattrath by Skreah for 8 Gold. If you don't have Alchemy, you can sell this pattern for about 15 Gold in the Auction House so it's still worth buying no matter what your profession is. Ok, so now that you have the recipe, you need the following primals to transmute a Primal Might: Air, Earth , Fire, Mana , Water. You should be able to collect these motes to make these on your own. Once you have them, you can create the Primal Might which sells for about 125 Gold! The only downside is that there is a 24 hour cooldown. Even so, you can still create a Primal Might every day from the other primals that you are already collecting and make 125 Gold which is more than selling the other primals individually. What that means is that even if you don't collect the primals yourself, you can still buy them at the Auction House and make a big profit by just transmuting them and then selling the crafted Primal Might.
Mining in the Outlands
If Mining wasn't the best profession for making Gold before the expansion, it definitely is now. Thanks to Jewelcrafting, the demand for the ore, stone, and gems gathered through mining is ridiculous. On top of that you can also collect tons of motes to make primals.
There are so many Fel Iron and Adamantite veins scattered throughout the Outlands that it's very easy to collect over a 100 pieces of ore in an hour. Fel Iron Ore sells for about 20-30 Gold per stack and Adamantite Ore sells for about 25-30 Gold per stack. Just as with the rare Gold and Silver veins found in the lower level zones, you can find a rare vein in the Outlands called Khorium . Khorium Ore sells anywhere between 50 and 60 Gold per stack.
This can spawn anywhere that Fel Iron and Adamantite veins can be found so unfortunately there isn't any one spot that is better than another. However, from personal experience I have found more Khorium in Netherstorm and the areas that you can only get to by flying more than any of the other zones. In addition to the ore that you collect, you will also find all types of gems such as draenites .
Rare gems can also be found such as Star of Elune and Noble Topaz which can sell anywhere between 35 and 50 gold each and depending on your server, sometimes more. These gems are needed for Jewelcrafting the higher end items and these crafters are willing to shell out big bucks to get these. While you are mining in the Outlands, you should also post a message every once in a while saying that you want to buy ore, motes or rare stones like the Star of Elune. You can a lot of times get a steal by buying these directly from other players because they don‛t have the Auction House nearby to see how much they are worth.
I have found that some of the best zones to mine in are actually some of the earlier ones such as Hellfire Peninsula. The reason for this is that most players in this zone don't have their mining skill up high enough yet to be able to mine everything in these zones. This means that you will be able to mine more here than in some of the higher level zones because everyone has a 375 Mining skill by then.
My 1st day in outland questing & mining along the quest route and a little bit of “outland portal mining” I mined Fel Iron Ore which sells for about 20-30 Gold per stack and Khorium Ore. Which sells anywhere between 45 and 60 Gold per stack.
I then smelted Fel Iron Ore x3 to make 1 Felsteel Bar & Eternium Ore x2 to make 1 Eternium Bar. Then after I stocked up & smelted these which can be found all over the first zone in outland around the boarder and any mountain ledge, I then smelted x3 Felsteel Bar and x2 Eternium Bar to make 1 Felsteal Bar.
Eternium Ore can be in the same nodes as Fel Iron & Eternium just like Gem’s and they have quite a high drop rate.
This is where I made massive amounts of Gold because THIS craftable weapon of choice, as Felsteal Bars are always in demand, it takes more Ore’s to make than most Bars but when you see your gold pile up daily, you will soon find out why it is worth smelting multiple bars to make only 1.
I mined for 1 hour and managed to make over 500g from mining these only!!!
Here is a Link to check which level you need to be to craft each Ore/Bar HERE.
When you get your flying mount, you have an enormous advantage over other players that are trying to mine because you can fly over everything and once you spot a vein on your mini map, you can just land right on top of the vein to collect the ore and then fly off to the next one. There is no need to fight enemies or run around a body of water to get to where you want to go.
A higher level zone that I have found to be great for mining with a flying mount is Blade's Edge Mountains. The reason is that it is very hard to navigate this zone due to the mountains and bridges that need to be crossed by players without a flying mount. As far as navigating the zones, you will want to fly around the perimeters and anywhere else you see a range of mountains. In just a couple hours of flying around the mountain ranges, I can easily make over 400-600 Gold, 800 Gold is the max I have made in an hour’s run!!
Dark Portal Mining
Once you enter the Dark Portal and are in the Outlands, there are tons of Fel Iron Ore scattered all around the portal. One of the best ways to patrol this area for Fel Iron Ore is to make a figure 8 pattern with the Dark Portal being at the center of the "8".
This can be seen below in Figure 9. This works best with a flying mount but if you don't have one yet, don't worry because 95% of this area can be covered without one. I made a single pass the other night and found 9 veins for a total of 34 Fel Iron Ore. In addition to that, I also got a Noble Topaz which I later sold for 45 Gold.
In addition to the ore, there is also a lot of Felweed in this area. Even though you can't see herbs and veins on your minimap at the same time, it's not too hard to spot so if you have both of these gathering professions, then that's even more gold for you. Another great thing about this spot is that hardly anyone is here because there aren't really any mobs or quests that need to be done here.
This makes it very easy for you to find a ton of veins with little to no competition whatsoever. With the ore and herbs along with any other motes or gems that you find, this can easily be one those spots than can fetch you about 150 Gold per hour!!
The Legion Hold
A great grinding location in Shadowmoon Valley is the Legion Hold . Guys here such as Terrormasters , Wrathwalkers , and Mo'arg Weaponsmiths are plentiful and pretty easy to kill. In addition to all the reputation items they drop such as Mark of Sargeras and Fel Armaments , they drop a lot of great loot and a ton of Netherweave Cloth . I farmed this area for an hour here and made about 215 Gold on the reputation items, greens, recipes, and other vendor trash. A couple of items that I received here that are worth mentioning are:
Recipe: Elixir of Major Mageblood, Girdle of Gale Force
And a one or 2 Eternium Lockboxes.
Gold from Ogres
A great way to grind for several different things at the same time is by killing the Ogres in Nagrand. A few great spots for this are the Warmaul Hill in the Northwest corner, the Laughing Skull Ruins to the north, the cave at Southwind Cleft and the Burning Blade ruins to the east.
Doing so will get you a lot of gold from the loot and you will also get Obsidian Warbeads that will earn you reputation with the Consortium and Kurenai. You will also gain additional experience with the Kurenai for the kills. So not only will you get a lot of gold from the loot, you will also increase your reputation which will gain you access to a lot of great items that these different factions sell.
Most of the items are Bind on Pickup (bop) but the recipes and patterns that they sell are what you are looking for here. With these, you can make items that only a few players can make which in turn will get a you lot of gold.
One of the items that I purchased was the Pattern: Reinforced Mining Bag from Provisioner Nasela for just 5 Gold. You should be able to collect the required Primal Earths on your own so the only other item required is some Heavy Knothide Leather . The cost to make one of these bags is around 20-25 Gold if you buy all of this from the Auction House but in return you can sell these bags for 75+ Gold! That is a very quick and easy 50 Gold profit every time you do this.
Jewelcrafting
From my experience and talking with other high level Jewelcrafters, it is definitely not in your best interest to pick up this profession if you want to make money. The cost alone to level up the profession is outrageous.
Cutting of gems will make you some decent money but you have to spend a lot to get to that point and there are many times where the market just gets flooded with these items.
If you are in a guild, chances are that there are at least a few players with a MAX Jewelcrafting skill so if you ever need anything you can get the mats and they might hook you up.
This approach gets you the benefit of crafting items through jewelcrafting without investing all your own money to do it yourself. Providing a small tip, or even better offer to pay a certain % of the AH cost, this will improve your "reputation" with other players & fellow Guildies so that you can go back to them anytime for more crafting without them feeling like you are just mooching off of them all the time.
If you get a good list of Friends/Guildies or just general Farmer’s, use the /2 trade chat and ask for X amount of whatever you need to be posted to you COD, give your price (a little lower than you know they are worth).
e.g. /2 Need 50 Aquamarine pay 4g each, please Send me COD as many as you have, Once I have 50 I will send back any mails containing Aquamarine back to sender, with a Tip just for sending!
This is a great way to build up mat supply and customer sale base, based from your crafted Item’s you sell.
Prospecting
If you do decide to pick up Jewelcrafting, one of the biggest money makers for this profession is through Prospecting. Once your Jewelcrafting skill reaches 275, you will then be able to prospect Fel Iron Ore. When you prospect this ore, you will have an excellent chance to receive gems such as Blood Garnet and Azure Moonstone . In addition to these gems, you also have a chance to obtain a rare gem such as Star of Elune and Noble Topaz . Both of these rare gems can sell for as much as 50 Gold each in the Auction House! Also, it's not uncommon to receive mutiple gems while prospecting a single stack. With Fel Iron Ore, you will receive Fel Iron Powder every time. This item is worthless to you but stacks of these sell pretty good to vendors.
You can do the same with the Adamantite Ore. The difference between this and Fel Iron Ore is that the % chance of receiving gems increases quite a bit. Last night when I was doing this, I got a Dawnstone , Golden Draenite , and a Blood Garnet from a single stack. I turned around and sold all of these items for about 65 gold at the Auction House. With Admantite Ore you will receive Adamantite Powder each time. Unlike the Fel Iron Powder, this item is needed by Alchemists to create Mercurial Adamantite which sells for about 12 Gold each at the Auction House. If you decided to take up Jewelcrafting, I hope you paired it with Mining because this will supply almost all materials needed for Prospecting.
Even if you don't have stacks of this ore lying around, you can find a lot of great deals on Fel Iron and Adamantite at the Auction House. It is definitely worth the investment if you decide to purchase the ore because you can in turn prospect and sell the gems you discover for a profit. What's nice about this approach is that you never have to leave your main city if you don't want to. You can just keep buying the ore and prospecting the gems and then turn right around and sell for a quick and easy profit. This is one of those gold making strategies that can literally make you THOUSANDS of gold every single week!
I wouldn’t really recommend buying Fel Iron Ore of the AH imo because a 30 min run around Outland will make you an average of 100 Ore’s 20x5 including Gem’s, but if your rich & can’t get to Outland due to not having The Burning Crusade, then go ahead & buy off the AH.
Mana Thistle
Mana Thistle is an item that is needed by Alchemists to make a lot of the higher end potions. This herb can only be found in places that require a flying mount. Here are the best places to find Mana Thistle. In Terokkar Forest, you should first go over to the southeast corner to Skettis . Another spot in Terokkar Forest is just above the Aldor base to an area called the Barrier Hills. Over in Shadowmoon Valley, you will want to fly over to the island in the southeast corner of the zone to an area called Netherwing Ledge . In Blade'sEdge Moutains, there are 2 spots where you can find Mana Thistle: Pinacle Vortex to the west and Felstorm Point to the north. Lastly, in Netherstorm, head to the island in the Northwest corner of the zone called Socrethar's Seat. Here you can also find some Mana Thistle. Currently on my server, a stack of Mana Thistle sells for about 60 Gold. If you have a Flying Mount and have Herbalism as one of your professions, you should definitely check out these spots. Not only will you find Mana Thistle but you will also find a lot of the other popular herbs such as Dreaming Glory and Felweed in these areas as well.
Selling in Shattrath
Take advantage of the fact that Shattrath is prime location for travelers in the Outlands. Many players have their hearthstone set here because they can portal to other main cities from here to access the Auction Houses. You should try posting messages at Shattrath when you are trying to sell an item because you may be able to actually sell it for more than usual because of the convenience and they can't readily check the Auction House for the going rate.
Doom Skulls
A stack of 20 Doom Skulls is needed in order to activate the Evil Draws Near quest in the Bone Wastes. They drop from several different mobs in the area but the ones that seem to drop them most often are Auchenai Death-Speakers and the Auchenai Doomsayers. They both have a very high drop rate and in addition to the doom skulls, they also drop a ton of Netherweave. What I have done is farm these guys for about 15 - 20 minutes to get these Doom Skulls. Once I do, I post a message in the Bone Wastes saying that I have some for sale. I have sold these for as much as 8 Gold to players. You could also put them up for sale at the Auction House as well. Doing this a few times an hour and selling the Netherweave and green loot dropped comes to about 50 Gold per hour. Not necessarily the 100+ Gold per hour everyone is looking for but this strategy is a pretty easy way for players to make some decent gold if you aren't able to reach the higher end places in the Outlands yet.
Essences
Essences aren't something new to the Burning Crusade but I am bringing them up here because they are needed by Jewelcrafters and other professions that are trying to craft higher end items. Since most of you now have a level 70, you won't have any problems soloing level 55-60 elites now. For each of the difference essences, there is an elite that will drop them all the time. What you can do here is take these guys out along with their respective mobs nearby to collect even more of these essences. The following is a list of where I go to get each of the essences. Note that these places used to be quite popular prior to the Burning Crusade being released so it was hard to farm these guys for essences. I have since had a lot of luck finding these guys because people seem to have forgotten about them.
For the Essence of Air , the elite boss that drops this is Windreaver in Silithus. He can be found in the northwestern, corner of the zone along with other air elementals that also have a chance to drop these essences.
In addition to the Essence of Air that drops off Windreaver, you will also have an excellent chance for him to drop a nice blue item. On two different occasions, I received the Pattern: Stormshroud Gloves which sold for about 40 gold each!
For the Essence of Earth , the elite you need to find is Avalanchion who can be found in the northeast corner of Azshara . As with the other spots, you will also be able to find mobs nearby that have a chance to drop additional essences. The going rate for an essence of Earth is somewhere between 8 and 10 Gold each.
For the Essence of Fire , you will want to find Baron Charr in the center of Un'Goro near the volcano . Not only will he drop an essence of fire but so do the fire elementals that you can find all around this area. For each Essence of Fire you collect, that basically equates to anywhere between 10 - 12 Gold. Most players that are farming for certain items have completely neglected the older areas which makes it that much easier for you to take advantage of this.
Lastly, the Essences of Water sell for about 15 Gold and an elite that drops this is Princess Tempestria who can be found at the lake just Southwest of Everlook in Winterspring. Every time that I have killed her I got a blue item such as a very nice BoE shield and the Tempestria's Frozen Necklace which combined fetched me about 90 Gold.
Great AOE Spot
Over in Shadowmoon Valley at the Ruins of Karabor in Illidan's Black Temple, you will find about 20 or so Demon Hunter Supplicants packed closely together that are level 70. I know that sounds tough to AOE but they are sparring with each other and their health isn't full when you start to fight them so they drop a lot faster. Also, the guys in this area pretty much only do melee damage which allows you to do a ton of damage before they can even reach you. You will be able to collect a ton of gold, lots of greens, and Scryer reputation items such as signets and tomes in a very short amount of time. This is definitely one of the few good spots where AOE can still work in the Outlands. Currently, the only people that appear to be in this area are ones completing some quests so you shouldn't have to worry about other people up here. Also, the respawn rate of these guys is very short so once you clear a couple areas they will start to respawn and you can start all over. You should be able to easily make well over 175 Gold per hour here without any problems if you are good at AOE.
Netherweave Cloth
Netherweave Cloth is the new Runecloth of the Outlands and is needed by a lot of different professions to get their skill maxed out at 375. For that reason, Netherweave Cloth is always in demand and sells great in the Auction House. I found the best place to farm for these in Hellfire Peninsula at the Pools of Aggonar . Here you are looking for the Terrorfiends which are only a level 61 mob. These guys drop the cloth just about every single kill and you can get a stack of these in less than 10 minutes. These can be sold for about 8 gold each in the Auction House. Doing this for an hour comes to almost 50 Gold per hour just from the Netherweave. With everything else factored in that you receive as loot during this time, it can easily jump to almost 80 Gold per hour! If this spot is getting hit a lot, another spot I like to visit is the Lake surrounding Halaa in Nagrand. Down here, you will find a lot of Boulderfist Ogres who drop the Netherweave almost every kill as well. These guys are a bit higher of a level but I hardly ever see people down here killing these guys.
Great Fishing Spots
Furious Crawdads are needed to create Spicy Crawdads and Golden Darters
are needed to make Golden Fish Sticks. Both of which heal 7500 HP in 30 seconds and provide some very nice buffs that lasts for 30 minutes. There are 2 excellent spots to fish for these and they are both very close to each other. They are the Blackwind Lake in Skettis and Lake Ere'Noru which is found just southeast of the Allerian Stronghold. Whichever place you decide to visit, make sure you locate the Highland Mixed Schools. Also, you will need to have a high fishing skill of around 430 and buff your fishing skill to as high of a level as you can to avoid losing your catch.
Attaching Aquadynamic Fish Attractors will also help increase your chance for a catch. You can either sell the Furious Crawdad and Golden Darters as they are in the Auction House or cook them to make their respective crafted items. Either way, they are both pretty popular items in the Auction House.
In addition to these items, you have a chance to catch Mr. Pinchy who is an exceptionally rare catch from the Highland Mixed Schools. This item is BoP and has 3 charges with a 2 day cooldown in between. Each charge will grant a random wish. A couple of the wishes that you might get are Mr. Pinchy's Gift which gives you 5 Super Healing Potions and 5 Super Mana Potions and another is the Magical Crawdad Box which summons a Magical Crawdad non-combat pet.
Healing and Mana Potions
I have found that you can sell Healing and Mana Potions for a lot of gold. One of the ways I have found to get a stack of Healing or Mana Potions is by going to Nagrand and hanging out near Gurgthock to the north where players are trying to complete the Ring of Blood quests. If you haven't done these quests, they are a series of 6 quests that require a group of players to kill some elites. The 2nd and 3rd parts of the quest give a stack of Super Healing and Super Mana Potions .
Other players are always looking for help here and this is where you come in to sell your services. Tell them that you will help them take out the elites if they give you the potions that come with the reward. Most players are more than willing to do this because they are completing these for the experience and the gold. There have been a few occasions where I would help a group of 4 players and I was able to have all of them agree to give me their potions because they needed a tank to help complete the quests. In about 30 minutes of tanking, I made about 125 gold from the potions I sold.
Something you should never do is buy potions from the Auction House. Instead, you should either ask the people in your guild if they can make you some potions or post a message in the trade channel asking for an Alchemist to make some for you. You can almost always have them create these for far less than the Auction House rate. You can also check out Dealer Sadaqat in Netherstorm who sells various "Potent Potables" as Limited Supply Items. The Super Healing and Super Mana Potions he sells are 2 gold each but a stack of 5 in the Auction House can sell for up to 35 Gold! All classes need either one or both of these types of potions so the demand is always there.
For those of you that have Skinning as one of your professions, Nagrand is one of the best places to go for high level skinning. If you don't complete all quests in each of the zones, you definitely want to be sure that you complete the Mastery quests at Nesingwary Safari in the northeast corner of the zone. Here you can get about a dozen quests that require you to kill various Clefthoofs, Talbuks, and Windrocs . Not only will you get a lot of experience and gold from completing these quests but you also get tons of Thick Clefthide and Knothide Leather .
Even if you aren't questing or you have already completed these quests, just patrol these areas because many other players are killing these guys which allows you to skin them even faster. With the leather selling for about 15 Gold per stack and all the other loot that I sold,
I was able to make about 85 Gold per hour here without doing much work at all.
Heavy Knothide Leather
Leatherworkers will definitely want to take advantage of the vastly popular Heavy Knothide Leather. The way you do this is first by getting the Pattern: Heavy Knothide Leather which is a Limited Supply Item sold for only 5 Gold in Shattrath by Cro Threadstrong and Darmari and also in Silvermoon City by Tyn , and Zaralda . Once you have this pattern, you can then take 5 Knothide Leathers and turn them in to 1 Heavy Knothide Leather. To get the Knothide Leather one of the best things you can do is take advantage of the previous Skinning tip in Nagrand or if you don't have Skinning as your profession, you have two options. You can either farm for it or buy it in the Auction House. For farming Knothide Leather there is a pretty good place that not too many people go to and that is in Terrokar Forest in the Skethyl Mountains . If you look at your world map, you will see a cave in the mountains where you have to fly to in order to find a lot of Blackwind Sabercats . They do a fair amount of damage but for farming Knothide Leather this area worked the best for me. If you prefer to buy from the Auction House instead, you should be able to find some lower auctions around 13 Gold per stack for the Knothide Leather. To make a stack of 20 Heavy Knothide Leathers, you will need a total of 100 Knothide Leather. If you buy them from the Auction House, this will cost you between 60 and 65 Gold which sounds like a lot. However, a stack of the Heavy Knothide Leather that this makes will fetch you between 90 and 100 Gold for those 20 pieces you just made. That's an easy 35 Gold just for buying items from the Auction House and then putting the crafted Heavy Knothide Leather right back up for sale. If you do have skinning and you are collecting your own leather, than the 100 Gold you make is 100% profit! To date, I have made over 750 Gold from doing this strategy alone!!
Cobra Scales
Over in Shadowmoon Valley at Coilskar Cistern , you will find Coilskar Cobras .
At first glance, you will only a see about 4 but if you go inside the cave, you will see a lot more. What you are looking for here are Cobra Scales which are needed by Leatherworkers to make higher end items such as Nethercobra Leg Armor and Cobrascale Gloves . They don't have a very high drop rate but they are worth 25 - 30 Gold EACH in the Auction House. I farmed these guys for 2 hours and got 7 during this time which earned me 105 Gold per hour just from the Scales that I sold. This doesn't even take into account the greens and vendor trash that you can sell as well which can increase this to about 150 Gold per hour!
Primal Might
Alchemists should learn how to make Primal Mights as soon as they can. This limited supply pattern is sold in Shattrath by Skreah for 8 Gold. If you don't have Alchemy, you can sell this pattern for about 15 Gold in the Auction House so it's still worth buying no matter what your profession is. Ok, so now that you have the recipe, you need the following primals to transmute a Primal Might: Air, Earth , Fire, Mana , Water. You should be able to collect these motes to make these on your own. Once you have them, you can create the Primal Might which sells for about 125 Gold! The only downside is that there is a 24 hour cooldown. Even so, you can still create a Primal Might every day from the other primals that you are already collecting and make 125 Gold which is more than selling the other primals individually. What that means is that even if you don't collect the primals yourself, you can still buy them at the Auction House and make a big profit by just transmuting them and then selling the crafted Primal Might.
Mining in the Outlands
If Mining wasn't the best profession for making Gold before the expansion, it definitely is now. Thanks to Jewelcrafting, the demand for the ore, stone, and gems gathered through mining is ridiculous. On top of that you can also collect tons of motes to make primals.
There are so many Fel Iron and Adamantite veins scattered throughout the Outlands that it's very easy to collect over a 100 pieces of ore in an hour. Fel Iron Ore sells for about 20-30 Gold per stack and Adamantite Ore sells for about 25-30 Gold per stack. Just as with the rare Gold and Silver veins found in the lower level zones, you can find a rare vein in the Outlands called Khorium . Khorium Ore sells anywhere between 50 and 60 Gold per stack.
This can spawn anywhere that Fel Iron and Adamantite veins can be found so unfortunately there isn't any one spot that is better than another. However, from personal experience I have found more Khorium in Netherstorm and the areas that you can only get to by flying more than any of the other zones. In addition to the ore that you collect, you will also find all types of gems such as draenites .
Rare gems can also be found such as Star of Elune and Noble Topaz which can sell anywhere between 35 and 50 gold each and depending on your server, sometimes more. These gems are needed for Jewelcrafting the higher end items and these crafters are willing to shell out big bucks to get these. While you are mining in the Outlands, you should also post a message every once in a while saying that you want to buy ore, motes or rare stones like the Star of Elune. You can a lot of times get a steal by buying these directly from other players because they don‛t have the Auction House nearby to see how much they are worth.
I have found that some of the best zones to mine in are actually some of the earlier ones such as Hellfire Peninsula. The reason for this is that most players in this zone don't have their mining skill up high enough yet to be able to mine everything in these zones. This means that you will be able to mine more here than in some of the higher level zones because everyone has a 375 Mining skill by then.
My 1st day in outland questing & mining along the quest route and a little bit of “outland portal mining” I mined Fel Iron Ore which sells for about 20-30 Gold per stack and Khorium Ore. Which sells anywhere between 45 and 60 Gold per stack.
I then smelted Fel Iron Ore x3 to make 1 Felsteel Bar & Eternium Ore x2 to make 1 Eternium Bar. Then after I stocked up & smelted these which can be found all over the first zone in outland around the boarder and any mountain ledge, I then smelted x3 Felsteel Bar and x2 Eternium Bar to make 1 Felsteal Bar.
Eternium Ore can be in the same nodes as Fel Iron & Eternium just like Gem’s and they have quite a high drop rate.
This is where I made massive amounts of Gold because THIS craftable weapon of choice, as Felsteal Bars are always in demand, it takes more Ore’s to make than most Bars but when you see your gold pile up daily, you will soon find out why it is worth smelting multiple bars to make only 1.
I mined for 1 hour and managed to make over 500g from mining these only!!!
Here is a Link to check which level you need to be to craft each Ore/Bar HERE.
When you get your flying mount, you have an enormous advantage over other players that are trying to mine because you can fly over everything and once you spot a vein on your mini map, you can just land right on top of the vein to collect the ore and then fly off to the next one. There is no need to fight enemies or run around a body of water to get to where you want to go.
A higher level zone that I have found to be great for mining with a flying mount is Blade's Edge Mountains. The reason is that it is very hard to navigate this zone due to the mountains and bridges that need to be crossed by players without a flying mount. As far as navigating the zones, you will want to fly around the perimeters and anywhere else you see a range of mountains. In just a couple hours of flying around the mountain ranges, I can easily make over 400-600 Gold, 800 Gold is the max I have made in an hour’s run!!
Dark Portal Mining
Once you enter the Dark Portal and are in the Outlands, there are tons of Fel Iron Ore scattered all around the portal. One of the best ways to patrol this area for Fel Iron Ore is to make a figure 8 pattern with the Dark Portal being at the center of the "8".This can be seen below in Figure 9. This works best with a flying mount but if you don't have one yet, don't worry because 95% of this area can be covered without one. I made a single pass the other night and found 9 veins for a total of 34 Fel Iron Ore. In addition to that, I also got a Noble Topaz which I later sold for 45 Gold.
In addition to the ore, there is also a lot of Felweed in this area. Even though you can't see herbs and veins on your minimap at the same time, it's not too hard to spot so if you have both of these gathering professions, then that's even more gold for you. Another great thing about this spot is that hardly anyone is here because there aren't really any mobs or quests that need to be done here.
This makes it very easy for you to find a ton of veins with little to no competition whatsoever. With the ore and herbs along with any other motes or gems that you find, this can easily be one those spots than can fetch you about 150 Gold per hour!!
The Legion Hold
A great grinding location in Shadowmoon Valley is the Legion Hold . Guys here such as Terrormasters , Wrathwalkers , and Mo'arg Weaponsmiths are plentiful and pretty easy to kill. In addition to all the reputation items they drop such as Mark of Sargeras and Fel Armaments , they drop a lot of great loot and a ton of Netherweave Cloth . I farmed this area for an hour here and made about 215 Gold on the reputation items, greens, recipes, and other vendor trash. A couple of items that I received here that are worth mentioning are:
Recipe: Elixir of Major Mageblood, Girdle of Gale Force
And a one or 2 Eternium Lockboxes.
Gold from Ogres
A great way to grind for several different things at the same time is by killing the Ogres in Nagrand. A few great spots for this are the Warmaul Hill in the Northwest corner, the Laughing Skull Ruins to the north, the cave at Southwind Cleft and the Burning Blade ruins to the east.
Doing so will get you a lot of gold from the loot and you will also get Obsidian Warbeads that will earn you reputation with the Consortium and Kurenai. You will also gain additional experience with the Kurenai for the kills. So not only will you get a lot of gold from the loot, you will also increase your reputation which will gain you access to a lot of great items that these different factions sell.
Most of the items are Bind on Pickup (bop) but the recipes and patterns that they sell are what you are looking for here. With these, you can make items that only a few players can make which in turn will get a you lot of gold.
One of the items that I purchased was the Pattern: Reinforced Mining Bag from Provisioner Nasela for just 5 Gold. You should be able to collect the required Primal Earths on your own so the only other item required is some Heavy Knothide Leather . The cost to make one of these bags is around 20-25 Gold if you buy all of this from the Auction House but in return you can sell these bags for 75+ Gold! That is a very quick and easy 50 Gold profit every time you do this.
Jewelcrafting
From my experience and talking with other high level Jewelcrafters, it is definitely not in your best interest to pick up this profession if you want to make money. The cost alone to level up the profession is outrageous.
Cutting of gems will make you some decent money but you have to spend a lot to get to that point and there are many times where the market just gets flooded with these items.
If you are in a guild, chances are that there are at least a few players with a MAX Jewelcrafting skill so if you ever need anything you can get the mats and they might hook you up.
This approach gets you the benefit of crafting items through jewelcrafting without investing all your own money to do it yourself. Providing a small tip, or even better offer to pay a certain % of the AH cost, this will improve your "reputation" with other players & fellow Guildies so that you can go back to them anytime for more crafting without them feeling like you are just mooching off of them all the time.
If you get a good list of Friends/Guildies or just general Farmer’s, use the /2 trade chat and ask for X amount of whatever you need to be posted to you COD, give your price (a little lower than you know they are worth).
e.g. /2 Need 50 Aquamarine pay 4g each, please Send me COD as many as you have, Once I have 50 I will send back any mails containing Aquamarine back to sender, with a Tip just for sending!
This is a great way to build up mat supply and customer sale base, based from your crafted Item’s you sell.
Prospecting
If you do decide to pick up Jewelcrafting, one of the biggest money makers for this profession is through Prospecting. Once your Jewelcrafting skill reaches 275, you will then be able to prospect Fel Iron Ore. When you prospect this ore, you will have an excellent chance to receive gems such as Blood Garnet and Azure Moonstone . In addition to these gems, you also have a chance to obtain a rare gem such as Star of Elune and Noble Topaz . Both of these rare gems can sell for as much as 50 Gold each in the Auction House! Also, it's not uncommon to receive mutiple gems while prospecting a single stack. With Fel Iron Ore, you will receive Fel Iron Powder every time. This item is worthless to you but stacks of these sell pretty good to vendors.
You can do the same with the Adamantite Ore. The difference between this and Fel Iron Ore is that the % chance of receiving gems increases quite a bit. Last night when I was doing this, I got a Dawnstone , Golden Draenite , and a Blood Garnet from a single stack. I turned around and sold all of these items for about 65 gold at the Auction House. With Admantite Ore you will receive Adamantite Powder each time. Unlike the Fel Iron Powder, this item is needed by Alchemists to create Mercurial Adamantite which sells for about 12 Gold each at the Auction House. If you decided to take up Jewelcrafting, I hope you paired it with Mining because this will supply almost all materials needed for Prospecting.
Even if you don't have stacks of this ore lying around, you can find a lot of great deals on Fel Iron and Adamantite at the Auction House. It is definitely worth the investment if you decide to purchase the ore because you can in turn prospect and sell the gems you discover for a profit. What's nice about this approach is that you never have to leave your main city if you don't want to. You can just keep buying the ore and prospecting the gems and then turn right around and sell for a quick and easy profit. This is one of those gold making strategies that can literally make you THOUSANDS of gold every single week!
I wouldn’t really recommend buying Fel Iron Ore of the AH imo because a 30 min run around Outland will make you an average of 100 Ore’s 20x5 including Gem’s, but if your rich & can’t get to Outland due to not having The Burning Crusade, then go ahead & buy off the AH.
Mana Thistle
Mana Thistle is an item that is needed by Alchemists to make a lot of the higher end potions. This herb can only be found in places that require a flying mount. Here are the best places to find Mana Thistle. In Terokkar Forest, you should first go over to the southeast corner to Skettis . Another spot in Terokkar Forest is just above the Aldor base to an area called the Barrier Hills. Over in Shadowmoon Valley, you will want to fly over to the island in the southeast corner of the zone to an area called Netherwing Ledge . In Blade'sEdge Moutains, there are 2 spots where you can find Mana Thistle: Pinacle Vortex to the west and Felstorm Point to the north. Lastly, in Netherstorm, head to the island in the Northwest corner of the zone called Socrethar's Seat. Here you can also find some Mana Thistle. Currently on my server, a stack of Mana Thistle sells for about 60 Gold. If you have a Flying Mount and have Herbalism as one of your professions, you should definitely check out these spots. Not only will you find Mana Thistle but you will also find a lot of the other popular herbs such as Dreaming Glory and Felweed in these areas as well.
Selling in Shattrath
Take advantage of the fact that Shattrath is prime location for travelers in the Outlands. Many players have their hearthstone set here because they can portal to other main cities from here to access the Auction Houses. You should try posting messages at Shattrath when you are trying to sell an item because you may be able to actually sell it for more than usual because of the convenience and they can't readily check the Auction House for the going rate.
Doom Skulls
A stack of 20 Doom Skulls is needed in order to activate the Evil Draws Near quest in the Bone Wastes. They drop from several different mobs in the area but the ones that seem to drop them most often are Auchenai Death-Speakers and the Auchenai Doomsayers. They both have a very high drop rate and in addition to the doom skulls, they also drop a ton of Netherweave. What I have done is farm these guys for about 15 - 20 minutes to get these Doom Skulls. Once I do, I post a message in the Bone Wastes saying that I have some for sale. I have sold these for as much as 8 Gold to players. You could also put them up for sale at the Auction House as well. Doing this a few times an hour and selling the Netherweave and green loot dropped comes to about 50 Gold per hour. Not necessarily the 100+ Gold per hour everyone is looking for but this strategy is a pretty easy way for players to make some decent gold if you aren't able to reach the higher end places in the Outlands yet.
Essences
Essences aren't something new to the Burning Crusade but I am bringing them up here because they are needed by Jewelcrafters and other professions that are trying to craft higher end items. Since most of you now have a level 70, you won't have any problems soloing level 55-60 elites now. For each of the difference essences, there is an elite that will drop them all the time. What you can do here is take these guys out along with their respective mobs nearby to collect even more of these essences. The following is a list of where I go to get each of the essences. Note that these places used to be quite popular prior to the Burning Crusade being released so it was hard to farm these guys for essences. I have since had a lot of luck finding these guys because people seem to have forgotten about them.
For the Essence of Air , the elite boss that drops this is Windreaver in Silithus. He can be found in the northwestern, corner of the zone along with other air elementals that also have a chance to drop these essences.
In addition to the Essence of Air that drops off Windreaver, you will also have an excellent chance for him to drop a nice blue item. On two different occasions, I received the Pattern: Stormshroud Gloves which sold for about 40 gold each!
For the Essence of Earth , the elite you need to find is Avalanchion who can be found in the northeast corner of Azshara . As with the other spots, you will also be able to find mobs nearby that have a chance to drop additional essences. The going rate for an essence of Earth is somewhere between 8 and 10 Gold each.
For the Essence of Fire , you will want to find Baron Charr in the center of Un'Goro near the volcano . Not only will he drop an essence of fire but so do the fire elementals that you can find all around this area. For each Essence of Fire you collect, that basically equates to anywhere between 10 - 12 Gold. Most players that are farming for certain items have completely neglected the older areas which makes it that much easier for you to take advantage of this.
Lastly, the Essences of Water sell for about 15 Gold and an elite that drops this is Princess Tempestria who can be found at the lake just Southwest of Everlook in Winterspring. Every time that I have killed her I got a blue item such as a very nice BoE shield and the Tempestria's Frozen Necklace which combined fetched me about 90 Gold.
Great AOE Spot
Over in Shadowmoon Valley at the Ruins of Karabor in Illidan's Black Temple, you will find about 20 or so Demon Hunter Supplicants packed closely together that are level 70. I know that sounds tough to AOE but they are sparring with each other and their health isn't full when you start to fight them so they drop a lot faster. Also, the guys in this area pretty much only do melee damage which allows you to do a ton of damage before they can even reach you. You will be able to collect a ton of gold, lots of greens, and Scryer reputation items such as signets and tomes in a very short amount of time. This is definitely one of the few good spots where AOE can still work in the Outlands. Currently, the only people that appear to be in this area are ones completing some quests so you shouldn't have to worry about other people up here. Also, the respawn rate of these guys is very short so once you clear a couple areas they will start to respawn and you can start all over. You should be able to easily make well over 175 Gold per hour here without any problems if you are good at AOE.
Netherweave Cloth
Netherweave Cloth is the new Runecloth of the Outlands and is needed by a lot of different professions to get their skill maxed out at 375. For that reason, Netherweave Cloth is always in demand and sells great in the Auction House. I found the best place to farm for these in Hellfire Peninsula at the Pools of Aggonar . Here you are looking for the Terrorfiends which are only a level 61 mob. These guys drop the cloth just about every single kill and you can get a stack of these in less than 10 minutes. These can be sold for about 8 gold each in the Auction House. Doing this for an hour comes to almost 50 Gold per hour just from the Netherweave. With everything else factored in that you receive as loot during this time, it can easily jump to almost 80 Gold per hour! If this spot is getting hit a lot, another spot I like to visit is the Lake surrounding Halaa in Nagrand. Down here, you will find a lot of Boulderfist Ogres who drop the Netherweave almost every kill as well. These guys are a bit higher of a level but I hardly ever see people down here killing these guys.
Great Fishing Spots
Furious Crawdads are needed to create Spicy Crawdads and Golden Darters
are needed to make Golden Fish Sticks. Both of which heal 7500 HP in 30 seconds and provide some very nice buffs that lasts for 30 minutes. There are 2 excellent spots to fish for these and they are both very close to each other. They are the Blackwind Lake in Skettis and Lake Ere'Noru which is found just southeast of the Allerian Stronghold. Whichever place you decide to visit, make sure you locate the Highland Mixed Schools. Also, you will need to have a high fishing skill of around 430 and buff your fishing skill to as high of a level as you can to avoid losing your catch.
Attaching Aquadynamic Fish Attractors will also help increase your chance for a catch. You can either sell the Furious Crawdad and Golden Darters as they are in the Auction House or cook them to make their respective crafted items. Either way, they are both pretty popular items in the Auction House.
In addition to these items, you have a chance to catch Mr. Pinchy who is an exceptionally rare catch from the Highland Mixed Schools. This item is BoP and has 3 charges with a 2 day cooldown in between. Each charge will grant a random wish. A couple of the wishes that you might get are Mr. Pinchy's Gift which gives you 5 Super Healing Potions and 5 Super Mana Potions and another is the Magical Crawdad Box which summons a Magical Crawdad non-combat pet.
Healing and Mana Potions
I have found that you can sell Healing and Mana Potions for a lot of gold. One of the ways I have found to get a stack of Healing or Mana Potions is by going to Nagrand and hanging out near Gurgthock to the north where players are trying to complete the Ring of Blood quests. If you haven't done these quests, they are a series of 6 quests that require a group of players to kill some elites. The 2nd and 3rd parts of the quest give a stack of Super Healing and Super Mana Potions .
Other players are always looking for help here and this is where you come in to sell your services. Tell them that you will help them take out the elites if they give you the potions that come with the reward. Most players are more than willing to do this because they are completing these for the experience and the gold. There have been a few occasions where I would help a group of 4 players and I was able to have all of them agree to give me their potions because they needed a tank to help complete the quests. In about 30 minutes of tanking, I made about 125 gold from the potions I sold.
Something you should never do is buy potions from the Auction House. Instead, you should either ask the people in your guild if they can make you some potions or post a message in the trade channel asking for an Alchemist to make some for you. You can almost always have them create these for far less than the Auction House rate. You can also check out Dealer Sadaqat in Netherstorm who sells various "Potent Potables" as Limited Supply Items. The Super Healing and Super Mana Potions he sells are 2 gold each but a stack of 5 in the Auction House can sell for up to 35 Gold! All classes need either one or both of these types of potions so the demand is always there.
