Hi,
I’m playing this priest alt on a dead server to be able to do arena with my long time arena mate.
My problem: I have no idea how to make gold on a server like this. According to Ironforge.pro it says 590 players (when I started here it was like 1500 some weeks ago).
Gathering professions: even tho all ressources are available there are no buyers. If the stars align you’re maybe able to sell something but it barely makes up the AH fee you lose every time it doesn’t sell.
Same with most of the other things you find.
Farming dungeons is also quite dead since groups form only on specific days, at specific times (for example weekend afternoon). Random raids are non existent (not even Kara).
On the other side, everything is super expensive. Gemming and enchanting an item costs a fortune.
Known gold flips (like Netherweave into bandages) don’t work because prices are too high and there is almost nothing on AH.
I could finish all the quests that I have left but they’re not too many.
The best thing I can think of is farming ore and vendoring it - it just takes super long for a tiny profit because I can’t afford epic flying. Or leveling a mage and solo farm SM.
Ogrila + Skettis + Cooking + Fishing dailies. Thats 70-95g a day, per character. With swift flying mount, this all takes an average of 25 minutes and 35 minutes with slow flying mount.
Good idea with the dailies. Solo farming dungeons is a bit difficult as a healer… would be easier as a mage or pally.
And @Marquiza, yes I hope his guild will transfer off this terrible server soon.
Now it’s already difficult if you need more than 2 or 3 gems of a type because there’s usually only 1 or 2 gems listed. Sometimes none and you have to wait… sigh
If market is dead, daily quests or otherwise farming for trash items to vendor are really your only choices. Farming with Herb or Mining to vendor is not worth it … you get a lot more from just killing random mobs.
Should really consider transferring to a populated server imo, it’s really like playing a different game.
It’s the best option, there were free transfers 2 months ago.
On topic… do you have a pally tank alt, that could by any chance, get the ShH heal-on-block trinket from the end boss? With it, farming Strat and Scholo is an option, it has a lot of drops to be vendored for raw money.
Hi. Simple solution. You spec to shadow if you arent already and do scholomance rune runs or diremaul north tribute runs. Rune runs are 75-100gold an hour doing 5 runs. Raw gold to say including runes to sell on the ah (which probably wont sell due to the pop), but its quick raw gold.
