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.






Great Gold Making Spots

Angerclaw Maulers
Head into Felwood and find a nice cluster of Angerclaw Maulers . These guys respawn pretty fast so when you kill all of them in an area, the first ones you killed will start to respawn and you won't have much downtime. Even though they don't necessarily drop a lot of higher end items, you will get a lot of stackable Claws, Jaws, Bones, etc... that sell very well as vender trash. On top of that, you can skin them and make even more money off of the Leather that you sell at the Auction House. On average, this will bring in about 40 Gold per hour.

Crusader Enchant
The Formula: Enchant Weapon - Crusader is one of the most sought after formulas in the game. There is only one place to get one of these (besides the Auction House) and that is from the Scarlet Spellbinders which can be found at the tower on your way up to Heartglen. Click here to see a map of where you can find them. While you may have to invest some time before it drops, don't forget that this formula is worth anywhere from 250 to 350 Gold! In addition to the Crusader Enchant, you will find a lot of other nice green and blue items along the way including some of the cards that make up the Elementals, Portals, and Warlords decks. As long as this place isn't being farmed, you will have no problem making the money to justify your time up here. If this area is heavily occupied at the time, you would be better off using one of these other strategies and try coming back at a different time when it's less crowded. I have personally done this before and found mine in about 4 hours. With the profit I made from the formula as well as the other items I found during this time, it came out to be about 100 Gold an Hour for my time. If you are looking for a little more encouragement to get you going up here, someone else in my guild got it around their 15th kill which they obviously got very lucky but just to let you know that it could drop at any time.

Demonslaying Enchant
Over in the Southwest Corner of Azshara (West of Forlorn Ridge), you will find some Highborne Apparitions and some Highborne Lichling . They don ‛ t have too many hit points which means you can kill a ton of these things in a short amount of time. These guys drop a lot of mageweave, as well as some nice green and blue items. I have also gotten quite a few Patterns and Plans such as Formula: Enchant Weapon - Demonslaying . On average this should make you about 40 - 50 Gold Per Hour depending on how much this area is being hit at the time.

Whelps in the Badlands
A good spot for a low level 40 is the Eastern Side of the Badlands. Here you will find a LOT of Whelps, mainly the Scalding Whelps . They can do a good amount of damage but their hit points are low so you should be able to solo these just fine. They drop a lot of leather, a handful of blue items and a lot of very nice greens. I wasn't even grinding these guys and I got a Dark Whelpling for one of my drops. If you're a skinner, you'll definitely love this spot because you will get experience, gold/loot, and you can skin these guys.

Legash Encampment
In Azshara near the Legash Encampment , you will find a large group of Blood Elves that have an Excellent Rune Cloth drop rate. They also drop a good amount of greens and some nice blues. The last time I was grinding there, I found the Gryphonwing Long Bow and sold it for about 95 Gold if I remember correctly. Even if you don't find any blues, the rune cloth and plenty of nice green items will still bring you a lot of gold for the little time you spend killing these guys. On top of that, there are also a lot of chests that spawn in the area so be sure to keep an eye out for other players sneaking in for the loot.

Highbornes in Winterspring
In Winterspring, head to the area just Southwest of Everlook. Here you will find some Anguished Highbornes and some Suffering Highbornes . They will drop a ton of runecloth and you can also get a wide range of patterns, plans, and recipes. If you are lucky enough, you will spot Princess Tempestria. You might need a little help with this one because she is a 60 elite and has some friends around her. She drops the Tempestria's Frozen Necklace, lots of other BOE blue items and can also drop the Ace of Elementals which will fetch you about 100 Gold!

Eye of Shadow
Also in Winterspring, head to the Southern Part near Darkwhisper Gorge . There you will find Hederine Slayers which have a good drop rate (for an epic anyway) to give you the Eye of Shadow . This item is needed for the Priest to get Benediction. If you don ‛ t need it for yourself, you can make around 100 Gold for it at the Auction House.

Cloth in Felwood
Over in northeastern part of Felwood, you can find a lot of Hellcallers, Betrayers, and Tricksters. These guys don't drop a ton of great items but you will get a LOT of Runecloth and Felcloth which sells very well at the Auction House.

Twilights in Silithus
The place where I have been spending most of my time recently is Silithus. One of the things I do there is focus on the areas where you can find Twilight Stonecallers and Twilight Avengers . There are a few different clusters of these guys scattered throughout Silithus which is nice because you don't have to worry about someone farming these guys all the time. These guys will give you a ton of Runecloth and a few items that I have personally found here are the Orb of Deception, Plans: Radiant Leggings , and a Four of Warlords . Making passes in here with a high level character will easily make me about a 150 gold per day!

Essence of Air
In the Northern part of Silithus , you will find some Dust Stormers . These guys drop some good items and have decent drop rate for Essence of Air
which goes for about 12 Gold a piece. They also drop a lot of elemental items and quite a few people have gotten an epic from these guys. As with any epic, they are hard to get but it's nice to hear that these guys have dropped a couple different ones. Not counting the epics because those are tough to get, the Essences and other elemental items received should bring you in about 60 Gold per hour.

Essence/Core of Earth
Another great spot in Silithus can be found in the top left corner of the zone. Here you will find plenty of Desert Rumblers that drop Essence of Earth and Core of Earth as well as lot of nice blue items and if you are really lucky maybe even an epic.

Making Gold in BRD
There is a gold mine waiting for you over in Blackrock Depths (BRD) that you just have to know about. At the Grim Guzzler Tavern inside of BRD, you will find Lokhtos Darkbargainer of The Thorium Brotherhood. What you need to do is build up your reputation so that you can purchase some top of the line Patterns and Plans. The way you do this is by completing quests and selling him certain items such as Dark Iron Ore and Core Leather. As you increase your reputation with him, he will begin selling you some of the 30 plans and patterns that he offers such as the Plans: Dark Iron Destroyer and the Pattern: Molten Helm. To see a more comprehensive list of what he sells and how to gain the reputation needed to purchase these items, check out this link here. As soon as you are able to begin purchasing these items, the gold will be flowing in.

Dark Iron Ore
The Dark Iron Ore in BRD is always in high demand because it is needed for reputation with the Thorium Brotherhood, higher-end crafts by Blacksmiths, and some other very rewarding quests. So if you aren't up for spending a lot of time to build up your reputation, you can still make about 10 gold per stack. You should be able to mine about 30 of these per hour and if you are a Rogue or Druid, you should be able to stealth your way around better so that you can get between 50 and 60 an hour. This will bring you in a good amount of gold per hour for just mining.

Weeping Cave
Head over to the Weeping Cave in the Western Plaguelands. Here you'll find a lot of Rotting Behemoths and Decaying Horrors that have drop a lot of nice loot and a decent amount of money. The drop you are looking for here is the Recipe: Greater Nature Protection Potion which will drop between 1% to 2% of the time. Currently on the server I play on, this sells for about 90 Gold. You should be able to get one of these in about 90 minutes of work which comes out to 1 Gold per minute!

Patch of Elemental Water
Off the coast of Azshara near the Bay of Storms is an area called Patch of Elemental Water. Here you can fish for Elemental Waters , Globes of Water, and Essences of Water which can go for 5-7 Gold a piece! The only thing you have to watch out for is there are some Level 50's out there. You should be able to avoid them for the most part but you should keep an eye out in case one is sneaking up on you. Depending on your Fishing skill level, you should be able to make around 75 Gold per hour for all the loot.

Deviate Fish
Another great money maker in fishing is over at the Wailing Caverns where you will be fishing for some Deviate Fish. For awhile, it was popular to use the Recipe: Savory Deviate Delight to make some Savory Deviate Delight. However, the Deviate Fish seem to be selling for more at the Auction House recently than the delight that you can turn it into by Cooking. So my recommendation to you is not bother with buying the Recipe which sells for about 25 Gold and just focus on collecting the fish. This will get you a lot more Gold in the end somewhere in the range of about 20 Gold per hour just for fishing. If you have a nice macro set up, then you will be able to make that money by basically doing nothing. While this isn‛t the hundreds of gold an hour that everyone wants to make, it is an easy way to make some gold solo if you can‛t take on those higher level elites yet.

Stone Guardians
The Stone Guardians on the Northeastern half of Un'Goro Crater have a really good chance to drop Guardian Stones. They are in high demand because they are needed to craft high level items for Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Leatherworking, and Enchanting. Right now on my server, they are going for about 5 Gold a piece. On top of that, the Guardians also drop Essence of Earth, some nice blue items and a lot of greens that you can either sell or disenchant.


Cashing in on Reputation Items

By completing certain quests, killing certain creatures, or collecting certain items, you can gain reputation with various factions. When you do this, you will have access to special quests or special items that are sold by their vendors. Many players are willing to spend a lot of time and money to increase their reputation up to Revered and Exalted. This is where you come in. Many of the items that are needed to increase reputation can be found throughout the Outlands and are NOT Bind on Pickup. What this means for you is that you can collect stacks of these items and sell them for a lot of gold at the Auction House or in the town where the reputation is needed. The following sections cover many of the items that are needed to build up reputation as well as the best places where they can be found.

Aldor
The first item needed to build up your reputation to Honored with Aldor are Marks of Kil'jaeden . My favorite place to go for these is in Nagrand. Once there, go inside of Oshu'Gun and you will find a lot of Terrorguards and Kil'sorrow Ritualists . Both of these drop these marks about 50% of the time and they will also drop a lot of Netherweave as well. Another great place is over in Terokkar Forest at the Bone Wastes. In the Northern and Northwestern parts of the Bone Wastes, you will find a lot of Cabal
Abjurists,
Tomb-Raiders, Spell-weavers, and Initiates.
All of them will drop these marks every 2-3 kills and will also drop a lot of Runecloth and Netherweave as well.
The other items that players need to get their Aldor reputation up to Revered and Exalted are Marks of Sargeras and Fel Armaments . The first place I go to get the Marks of Sargeras is the Legion Hold in Shadowmoon Valley. All throughout Legion Hold you will find Shadow Council Warlocks.
Mo'arg Weaponsmiths, and Wrathwalkers. All of these guys will drop these marks about 30-35% of the time. I farmed these for an hour and got 34 Marks and a lot of other nice loot. Another great spot also in Shadowmoon Valley is The Deathforge . You can find a lot a of Deathforge Guardians.
Deathforge Tinkerers , and Deathforge Smiths . These guys also drop the marks at a very high rate. For the Fel Armaments, I hit the same 2 places just mentioned for the Marks of Sargeras. The Fel Armaments only drop about 5% - 10% of the time so you will not be able to collect them as fast as you can the marks but they sell for a lot more at the Auction House. What's nice about these spots is that you can collect both of these items from these same 2 mobs.
Another great all-around spot is in Netherstorm at the Forge Camps Oblivion and Gehenna . All mobs in these areas can drop items needed to build up Aldor reputation along with a lot of other nice loot and on top of that they are pretty easy to kill. Some of the mobs you can expect to find here are Wrathbringers , Ironspine Forgelords , and Cyber-Rage Forgelords.


When you increase your reputation with Aldor you also increase your reputation with Sha'tar, but you decrease it with Scryer. If a player ever decides to switch over to Scryer, they first to need to build their reputation up. This can be done by turning in Dreadfang Venom Sacs to Sha'nir in the Lower City. These items can be dropped by Dreadfang Widows which are found around the edges of the Bone Waste. They can also be dropped by Dreadfang Lurkers to the North near the Cenarion Thicket . A stack of 20 sells for about 10 - 12 gold. While this isn't a ton of money, it is something you will want to collect if you are ever in these areas instead of selling them as vendor trash.

Scryer
The first item needed to build up your reputation to Honored with the Scryers are Firewing Signets . As the name suggests, one of the best places to get these is over at Firewing Point . There you can find tons of Firewings such as Firewing Warlocks , Bloodwarders , and Defenders . I was able to get these about every two kills. In addition to the signets, these guys also drop a ton of Runecloth and Netherweave cloth.
The other items that players need to get their Scryer reputation up to Revered and Exalted are Sunfury Signets and Arcane Tomes . Netherstorm is the best place to go for Sunfury Signets. At each of the Manaforges such as Ara , B'Naar , and Cooru , you can find various Sunfury mobs that drop the Scryer reputation items. The mobs that you will run into here are around level 67 and include Blood Knights , Bloodwarders , and Researchers . Because there is a Mana Forge on just about every island, this will actually be a nice convenience for you because if 1 or 2 of these are getting hit a lot, you can easily head over to another island and continue working on collecting these items. The Arcane Tomes can be dropped off these same guys as well. Again, this makes it very nice for you because you can be collecting all of Scryer reputation items from the same mobs. In addition to reputation items, you will get a lot of green loot from these guys as well as some blues.
Just as with Aldor, increasing your reputation with the Scryer will also increase your reputation with Sha'tar but will decrease it with Aldor. If a player wants to switch to Aldor, they first need to build up their reputation with the Scryer. To do this, players need to turn in Dampscale Basilisk Eyes.
Arcanist Adyria in the Lower City. These items can be dropped by Dampscale Devourers near the rivers at the Raastok Glade and the Ironspine Petrifiers near Silmyr Lake at the northern part of the zone. Stacks of these sell for about 10-12 gold as well.

Sporeggar
One of the ways to increase one's reputation with the Sporeggar is by turning in Glowcaps . These mushroom-like objects can be collected all throughout the region between Sporeggar and Zabra'Jin . A stack of these sells for about 7 gold. I spent an hour collecting these with my mount and was able to collect about 80 of them. Figuring in all the vendor trash and other items collected from any kills, this would net you about 50-60 Gold per hour just from gathering these Glowcaps. It's not a ton of gold but it is easy money especially for those that can't take on the higher level mobs yet.

Possibly the best way however to make money on items needed for Sporeggar reputation is through the Fertile Spores . These sell for about 2 Gold a piece on the servers I play on and are very easy to obtain. The mobs that I found to drop these most often are the Fen Striders, Greater Spore Bats , and Marsh Walkers . These guys are everywhere in Zangarmarsh, but primarly around the shallow waters. I know this doesn't narrow it down for you too much but that's just how plentiful these guys are in Zangarmarsh. From personal experience, I found the best spots to find a lot of these on the Western side of Zangarmarsh near the shallow waters surrounding Marshlight Lake . These Fertile Spores stack very high so they won't take up a lot of space in your inventory while you are collecting them. With the going rate of almost 2 Gold each, this is a very easy way to make a ton of gold per hour just from Fertile Spores and other loot found along the way.
Bog Lord Tendrils and Mature Spore Sacs are also needed for reputation by players but they don't sell for as much as the other items such as the Fertile Spores do. With that, don't bother farming these but if you get them as loot, they are worth holding onto because they can stack up to 200 and will sell for a decent amount of change at the Auction House. It's just not worth enough to dedicate your time to farming these exclusively.

Cenarion Expedition
To increase reputation here, players will need to obtain Unidentified Plant
Parts. These plant parts are needed for reputation in 2 different ways: 1) The plants themselves are worth reputation and 2) When you turn in the plants to Lauranna Thar'well , she will give you Package of Identified Plants.
These packages have a chance to give you Uncatalogued Species which are worth even more reputation. This makes the Unidentified Plant Parts popular in the Auction House. These can be collected off just about any mob in Zangarmarsh but a good spot that I like to go to is the Umbrafen Lake for the Umbrafen Eels . These guys drop them about 40% of the time making it very easy to collect a lot of these in a short amount of time. These items sell for about 7 Gold per stack in the Auction House. Again, not a ton of money but you are going to be going through Zangarmarsh sooner or later so you may as well collect these while you are there for some easy money.
Also, if you head into Steam Vault, be sure to collect all the Coilfang Armaments that you can find. These are worth a lot of reputation points and sell for about 12 Gold each!!

The Consortium
The Consortium need players to turn in Oshu'gun Crystal Fragments to increase their reputation. The fastest and easiest way to collect these is all around the outside of Oshu'gun . They can be gathered from the ground and dropped as loot from all of the nearby mobs. These crystals sell very well in the Auction House for about 12 Gold per stack. I was able to pick up over 100 of these in an hours worth of work which came to about 90 Gold after selling the crystals and green loot collected from the mobs. Another item needed by players are Pairs of Ivory Tusks . These are dropped by Wild Elekk in Nagrand and the drop rate is ridiculously good. The pair of Ivory Tusks go for about 2-5 Gold each! These Wild Elekk are easy to kill and can be found everywhere in this zone making it very easy to farm these guys. After an hour of focusing just on these Wild Elekks, I made well over 100 Gold per hour from the Tusks and all the other loot.

The Lower City
To build up reputation in the Lower City, players need to obtain Arakkoa Feathers. There are 2 excellent spots in Terrokar Forest to collect these feathers. The first is to the south of Shattrath in an area called Veil Skith.
Here you will find a lot of Skithian Dreadhawks and Skithian Windrippers.
The other great spot is in the northeast corner of the zone at Veil Reskk.
Here you will find a lot of Shienor Talonites , Shienor Sorcerers , and Shienor Wing Guards. For both spots, the drop rate is awesome and it's not uncommon to get multiple feathers for each kill. In addition to the feathers, all of these guys also drop a ton of Netherweave Cloth which is a nice supplement to the feathers for making a lot of gold here. With the feathers that sell for about 15 Gold for a stack of 20 and the other loot that is dropped from these guys, this will earn you between 90-100 Gold per hour! Also, you should post messages in Shattrath when you are ready to sell them because people there will pay more for the convenience of not having to collect them or go to an Auction House to buy them.


Making Money From Motes and Primals

Primals are needed by just about every profession to craft a lot of the higher end items in the game and therefore sell for a lot of Gold. To create the Primals you will need to get 10 motes of the same type. There are many ways to get these motes. First, there are 2 vendors that sell all of them as limited supply items. They are Dealer Najeeb in Netherstorm and Dealer Tariq in Terokkar Forest. They are sold for only 16 silver a piece which is definitely a steal. Another way is through Mining and Herbalism. Both of these professions are excellent ways to obtain motes while gathering ore and herbs for even more gold to sell. Another way to get motes cheap is to keep a close eye on the Auction House. I have found a ton of auctions that sell the motes a lot cheaper than the primals they make. Check your server to see what the going rate for each Primal is and then compare with the cost to purchase 10 motes. In most cases, you can find bargains on the motes and make a quick profit by turning them into their respective Primals. Another way is to farm for them. Below is a list of the best places I have found to get each of the motes.

Primal Air
Pretty much any enemy that looks like a cyclone will drop Motes of Air .
There are 2 clusters of these guys that I have found to drop these motes about 40% of the time. The first place you should go is the Northeast corner of Nagrand to find a nice cluster of Storming Wind-Rippers at the Elemental Plateau . There are quite a few of them in this small area and not too many people come here because you need a flying mount. The other place is in Shadowmoon Valley where you can find some Enraged Air-Spirits. They can be found in a couple different spots in this zone. The larger of the two spots can be found in the southeast in the Netherwing Fields . The second spot that isn't as large but is less known by players is just north of the Altar of Shatar. As with all motes, it ‛ s not uncommon to find multiple motes when you loot so farming can at times be a very good way to get a lot of motes fast. Depending on your server, the going rate for Primal Water is around 20 Gold each!

Primal Earth
For Motes of Earth , the best place I have found is in Nagrand with the Shattered Rumblers . They are mid-level 60s and have a good drop rate. The Shattered Rumblers can be found all along the Southeastern edge of the zone by Oshu ‛ gun. Nagrand is also home to Tortured Earth Spirits and Enraged Crushers which also drop a lot of these motes. This makes Nagrand the best zone for Motes of Earth based on the level of enemy and the wide range of these elementals that can be found in this zone. On top of that, there are a lot of veins to mine here to get more motes. It's not uncommon to get 4 or more Motes of Earth from mining the Fel Iron and Adamantite Ore found here. Enraged Earth Spirits in Shadowmoon Valley also drop these motes and they can be found right the center of the zone at the Hand of Gul ‛ dan. They are a higher level of an enemy so they will take a bit longer to kill but the upside here is that they tend to drop better items so in the end this can make you additional gold. So if you are farming for these motes exclusively, stay in Nagrand. If you just want to make gold off the motes and the loot, both spots will work out very well.

Primal Fire
The Primal Fires are very popular and sell for insane amounts of gold. To get these motes, there are several excellent spots I like to go to. The first is at the Elemental Plateau in Nagrand where you will find Raging Fire-Souls.
Again, you will need a flying mount to get here. I got motes from these guys about every 3rd guy I killed and usually got multiple motes per loot. I have been able to get enough motes in an hour ‛ s worth of grinding to make 3 Primal Fires . This equates to over 100 Gold per hour at the Auction House and that's not including all the loot you are getting as well. The next spot to get these motes is in the Southeastern corner of Blade ‛ s Edge Mountains at Forge Camp Terror where you will find the Vile Fire-Souls . I found the drop rate here to be slightly better but these guys are harder to single out because they are packed in with other enemies. If you don ‛ t have your flying mount yet, don ‛ t worry, there are still other great places to go. One of my favorites that I went to a lot before I hit 70 was Hand of Gul ‛ dan in the center of Shadowmoon Valley for the Enraged Fire Spirits . Another great place is in the north eastern part of Blade‛s Edge Mountains at Skald for the Searing Elementals. Whichever of these places you decide to go to, if you have any fire resistance equipment, make sure you equip it because these guys will do a fair amount of fire damage.

Primal Life
One of the best places I have found is along the Eastern Side of the Bone Wastes. Here you will find Infested Root Walkers and Rotting Forest- Ragers. Both of which have a good drop rate and they are only level 64-65. Another great spot is at the Dead Mire in Zangarmarsh. Throughout this area you will see a ton of Withered Bog Lords which are a low level 60. These guys also drop these motes at very high rate and are very easy to kill. As long as there aren‛t very many players around, you will be able to get a lot of these motes in a very short amount of time. Between the 2 places, I usually try the Dead Mire first because these guys are a lower level and they are clustered in a lot closer together. On top of that, these guys along with the Withered Giants that you will also find here both drop a lot of Bog Lorg Tendril and Unidentified Plant Parts. Both of these items are needed by players to build up reputation in order to purchase special items. Instead of using these for myself, I will usually put these up for sale at the Auction House. The Dead Mire also has a lot of Fel Iron and Adamantite Ore as well as some herbs like Dreamfoil and Ragveil.

Primal Mana
Primal Mana is another one of the more popular selling primals that currently goes for about 25 gold in the Auction House. Netherstorm is just about the only zone that you can find these. I‛ve tried a lot of different spots in this zone and have 2 that seem to be better than the rest. The first is at Wizard‛s Row in Kirin‛var Village where you will find Mana Seekers and Mageslayers . Both of these have a good drop rate for motes of mana and because not very many people go here, you should always be able to find plenty of these to kill. This spot is a gold mine when it comes to making Primal Manas. The other spot is the areas just north and south of Area 52.
where you will find a lot Mana Wraiths and Nether Rays. You should get these motes about 1 out of every 3 kills from these guys as well. Also, if you have Herbalism as one of your professions, keep an eye out for Netherbloom
which can be found a lot in these areas as well. Stacks of these will fetch you about 50 Gold each! I've never had any problems collecting motes at either of those 2 places but if you are looking for a 3rd spot, another mob I like to focus on is the Mana Snappers. They drop these motes at a decent rate and for being a level 68 mob, they are pretty easy to kill as well. Also, because they are found on the edges of the islands where most people don't go, you should be able to find more than enough of these guys to grind.

Primal Shadow
Primal Shadows sell for the least amount of money between all the Primals but with the loot you can get while collecting these, it does add up to a nice amount of gold. One of the best places is from the Terrorfiends in Hellfire Peninsula. These guys can be found all over the Pools of Aggonar. They are around level 61 so they can be killed very fast. These guys also drop a ton of Netherweave Cloth and Runecloth on just about every kill which is a nice supplement to the Motes of Shadows that you are collecting. I have also gotten a couple lockboxes and a lot of greens as well. Another great spot in Hellfire Peninsula is to the South at The Warp Fields. Here you will find a lot of Uncontrolled Voidwalkers which drop motes about every 3rd kill or so. These voidwalkers respawn very fast and not very many people come down here. Both of these are easy spots that are pretty close together which is nice for those that aren‛t level 70 or don‛t have a flying mount yet. If you are a higher level and can take on some of the higher level mobs in the Outlands, a great spot is the Ruins of Farahlon in Netherstorm for the Hound of Culuthas who will also drop a lot of greens.

Primal Water
You may have noticed while you were completing the Rather Be Fishin' quest at the Silmyr Lake in Terokkar that the Shimmerscale Eels drop a lot of Motes of Water . These eels are only level 62 and drop like flies because of their low hit points. If you mine, you will also find a lot of ore around the perimeter of this lake. I got enough motes here to make about 4-5 primals per hour and got about 2 stacks of Fel Iron Ore as well. With this plus the other loot that I sold, I make about 80 Gold per hour here. If you have your flying mount, then you should definitely head over to the lake at the Elemental Plateau in Nagrand for the Crashing Wave-Spirits . They are level 70 but have a higher drop rate and will also drop a lot of nice green items. These guys also respawn pretty fast so even if there are a couple other people here, you shouldn‛t have any problem staying busy. One other great way to get Motes of Water is by fishing. Just about any high level water that you fish in, you will fetch you a lot of these motes. Keep your eye out for spots such as Pure Water which will get you these motes a lot faster. Also, any lakes that you see water elementals around the shoreline are also great because you can fish for the motes and get them as drops from the mobs nearby. A couple spots where I have found this to work out very well are the Lake surrounding Halaa in Nagrand with the Muck Spawns and the Blackwind Lake in Skettis at Terrokar Forest with the Skettis Surgers.
Just keep an eye out for Mountain Colossus who is the 72 elite that patrols this area. Other than that you should never have to worry about this place being crowded because not to many people know about it and there are tons of mobs scattered throughout.

Primal Summary
If you aren‛t farming a specific type of mote, then there are 2 places I like to go to that are great overall for motes. The first is the Elemental Plateau in Nagrand. This is a higher level area but you will find several different types of motes and all elementals here have a very high drop rate. The other great overall spot that I like to hit is at the Hand of Gul‛dan in Shadowmoon Valley. These are mid to upper level 60s that don‛t require a flying mount. This area has a wide range of elementals so you can get many different types of motes here as well. As mentioned earlier, there are 2 vendors that sell motes as limited supply items. Below is a table that shows where these can be found.


Quick Instance Runs

Some of the best items in the game can be found in instances. Unfortunately, some instances can take several hours to complete which may not always be possible for a player to do. The good news is that there are some shorter instances that you can finish a lot quicker and still receive a lot of Gold and nice items in the process. As with any instance, make sure that each party member shares all quests in that area so that everyone is able to complete them.

Scarlet Monastery (SM) – Between 15 and 25 minutes each
The nice thing about the Scarlet Monastery is that there are actually 4 different instances here that you can run through. This makes it nice because you can choose which one you want to go through or if you have the time you can go through them all. Each of the instances can be accomplished in about 25 minutes or less. If you are a high level, you should be able to pretty much solo these. There are a lot of quests here as well so be sure to grab them or have someone share them with you before going in.
Graveyard (15 minutes)
The easiest of the four instances is the Graveyard. Once you clear the corridors and make it out to the Graveyard, be sure to look for Ironspine - Azshir , and the Fallen Champion as shown on the map below. These guys are rare spawns but if you see them, you will definitely like the blue items they can drop. Once the room is clear, go ahead and take out Bloodmage Thalnos .
Once you are done, you can pick up a quest (Horde only) from a prisoner nearby. Depending on your level / group, you should be able to fight through this in less than 15 minutes.
Library (15 to 20 minutes)
Here you will want to be sure that you get both bosses: Houndmaster Loksey and Arcanist Doan . Both of these are mid-30s Elite and each drop some nice blue and green items such as Watchman Pauldrons and Illusionary Rod . Once you defeat the Arcanist Doan, look around for a chest and inside you‛ll get the Scarlet Key which is needed for the remaining 2 instances.
Armory (20 minutes)
This one will start to get tougher as in here you will be looking for Herod, the Scarlet Champion . Unfortunately, there ‛ s no real shortcut to this guy, just follow the instance until you pretty much reach the last room. As with any instance, be sure that no patrols are coming by before you starting pulling. Once you reach and defeat Herod, he will drop some very nice blue items, most of which are geared towards a Warrior. A couple that I have gotten from him were the Swampchill Fetish and Beguiler Robes , both of which sold very well.
Cathedral (20 to 25 minutes)
You won ‛ t reach any bosses here until you go past the garden. Once you do, Mograine will be straight ahead. Before attacking, be sure to clear out as much as you can as he will be calling his friends into battle if any are still around. Once Mograine is beaten, Whitemane will come out and you will have to take her out as well. Both of these bosses will drop some nice blue items. Before leaving, be sure to head over to the right and the torch you see is actually a switch. This will open up a room where you can find Fairbanks . Kill him and collect even more loot. Congrats, you have finished the Scarlet Monastery and collected a lot of gold as well as several very nice blue and green items.

Deadmines (20 minutes)
If you aren ‛ t quite that high of a level to complete SM, then head over to Westfall where you can then go to the Deadmines for a lot of quick runs that yield some good gold and a lot of blue items. If you are playing an Alliance character, be sure to grab the quests in Stormwind before going in. Once inside, you will encounter several bosses. Most of the bosses are around 20 Elite. Despite being a lower level, these Deadmines bosses drop some really nice blue items such as the Cruel Barb and Blackened Defias Armor . Once you defeat Edwin VanCleef , head outside to the boat where you will find a Murloc named Cookie . Take him down and you can get the Cookie's Stirring Rod . At this point, you will have pretty much finished the Deadmines and can then leave the instance. If you are lucky, you might run into Miner Johnson inside.
He is a Level 19 Elite and is a rare spawn. If he is inside, you will find him just after Rhahk ‛ Zor ‛ s chamber to the left. The last time I fought him, I got the Gold-Plated Buckler which was nice for the level I was playing with. He also can drop some recipes and schematics so be sure to see if he is there before you run through the rest of the instance. Once you reach Level 30, you should be able to solo this without much of a problem. Nice thing about any instance that you can solo is that you can get all the loot! The map below shows where each of the bosses and Miner Johnson can be found. These runs should yield you about 15 Gold per hour depending on how fast you can navigate to the different bosses.
Uldaman (20 to 30 minutes)
This instance has mid-40 Elites and contains several bosses that drop blue items. One of the nice things about Uldaman is that there is a back door to the instance which takes you to the half way point near the Obsidian Sentinel. The backdoor entrance is a cave in the Badlands near Dustwind Gulch. You will know that you have found it because guarding it are some elites by the entrance. Once inside, you will soon find the Obsidian Sentinel . Once you get past him, you will have 2 directions to choose from. If you are an Enchanter, you will definitely want to venture over to the part of the map where Annora is labeled. Once you clear the area, talk to Annora and start learning the enchants. You need to start using the new enchants while you are there so
that you can learn the rest of the ones she offers in one trip. You should learn all of the enchants she offers because you will easily make your money back by selling your services in the Major Cities. To learn all of the enchants, you will need about 12 gold and the following mats: (90) Vision Dust , (20)
Dream Dust , (20) Lesser Nether Essence , (10) Greater Nether Essence
and (1) Runed Truesilver Rod .
.
Below is a list of enchants that you can train on.

Enchants
Artisan Enchanting 230 5g
Enchant Shield - Greater Spirit 230 54s
Enchant Chest - Superior Mana 235 54s
Enchant Boots - Agility 240 58s
Enchant Bracer - Greater Strength 240 62s
Enchant 2H Weapon - Greater Impact 240 62s
Enchant Chest - Stats 245 62s
Enchant Weapon - Greater Striking 245 62s
Enchant Gloves - Minor Haste 250 65s
Enchanted Leather 250 1g
Enchanted Thorium 250 1g

Whether you had to head over to Annora for training or not, you now need to start working your way over to Firehammer . Important note here … when you enter the room with Firehammer, you will see a chest off in the distance … DO NOT open it. That chest is needed for the Restoring the Necklace quest which we are not doing here. You should go ahead and take out everyone that you can without pulling Firehammer. Once you have cleared as much as you can, go ahead and take out Firehammer to get a nice blue item. Some of the drops that I have gotten from him on a few occasions are Galgann's Fireblaster and Flameseer Mantle . Once you are done, you should leave the instance and repeat.

If you have a high level Druid or Rogue, you can work your way to Firehammer in a matter of minutes by stealthing your way there. Once you kill Firehammer, run right back out of the instance and you just got a quick blue item that you can sell. After you sell all the loot you get from these quick 5- 10 minute stealthing runs, it can make you about 50 Gold per hour!

All 3 of the instances just covered can be completed pretty quickly if you are a high level, can stealth around, or if you have a good group of players together. Just by making these instance runs over and over again, you can easily make a lot of easy gold from money collected along the way and the loot that you can turn around and sell at the Auction House when you are done. If you are one of the lucky players that can afford to sit down to go through a 2 or 3 hour instance from beginning to end, I recommend going through Scholomance over in the Western Plaguelands. You can also go through Dire Maul which has multiple wings of the instance like the Scarlet Monsastery so you can pick which part you want to go through. These are by far some of the most difficult instances to complete but at the same time they can be very rewarding.

A tip you should always use in any instance where you are in a group that is taking turns on the items that get looted, is to try to allow other players to get the Bind On Pickup (BOP) items, unless you need them for yourself. This will allow you to get more of the Bind On Equip (BOE) items. The reason for this is pretty obvious; you can sell the BOE items at the Auction House for a lot of money. If you can‛t use the BOP, you are stuck with selling it to a vendor for not as much compensation or you can disenchant if you are an Enchanter

Items Needed for Profession Quests

For some professions, there are quests or books that are necessary to
improve to the highest skill levels. Each of these quests has certain items
that need to be made (or purchased at the Auction House). In most cases,
players don ‛ t want to spend the time getting all the materials for creating
these items. They are willing to sacrifice their Gold for the convenience of
just purchasing the item. Below is a list of the required items necessary to
complete the quests for certain professions. You should always keep an eye
out for these items when scanning the Auction House. If you see any of these
selling cheap, you should snatch them up and put them back up for sale to get
yourself a nice profit. Even if you are charging a lot for one of these items, if
it ‛ s the only one up for sale, someone will buy it. Something else you can do is
take some of these items and conveniently stand by the quest giver and sell
these items to players directly. You can always sell them for a lot more than
the going rate the Auction House because you are making the items easily
available to other players right by where the quest needs turned in.

For some of the other professions such as First-Aid, it is necessary to obtain
a manual to increase the maximum skill level. These books are not sold in many
places which is why they are so popular at the Auction House. You can buy one
from Deneb Walker (Alliance) in Stromgarde Keep in Arathi Highlands or
from Balai Lok'Wein (Horde) in Brackenwall Village in Dustwallow Marsh.
Whenever you see these books whether it ‛ s an NPC or the Trade Channel, be
sure to snatch them up and sell them at the Auction House. Players are always
looking to level up there professions and they are willing to pay for it.
