Hy to all,
Can you help me please with some advises, tips to make some gold?
I am a paladin, now with talents for solo aoe tank (improved retry aura) and i’ve tried some ways but still cant get the gold i need. I need approximate 250 gold to finish my quests for my epic mount.
I’ve tried dm east which was supposed to be the best way, but blizz nerfed those leafs npcs, many has no drop at all.
I can tank in dungeons, did some but doesn’t provide a good quantity per run of gold.
I farmed stockade but is like 4-5 g per run, which is max 20 g per hour and another big problem is i don’t have more then 1-3 hours to play per day.
I had been looked for rich thoriuk bar, to get some arcane crystal to easier my way to get arcanite bar, but the almost no rich thorium bar and when you finally find one, no luck.
I tried mara but my gear isn’t strong enough to beat bosses. Only lesser npcs.
I am almost out of ideas. I am thinking to find a war and to 2 man some dungeons for gold, but don’t know which dungeon would be best for it.
Any ideas?
Thx
A good area in WPL which is right by a fp and repair vendor is the cemetery. Go into the tomb and run down and agro all of the ghosts and ghouls right to the bottom and aoe kill them all. They drop some nice things. Not the best but it is a good place specific to aoe tank paladins.
Some enchant recipes drop from fixed mobs that are relatively easy to kill. The main bottleneck is that there’s usually a limited number of these mobs and the respawn time is 10 minutes, so you run out of things to kill. However, if you are leveling an alt, you can toggle between your farm character and the alt, making the farm time more profitable (less waiting).
The best known of these is Crusader, but especially the tower is heavily camped. Then there’s greater intellect on bracers (Hinterlands), and superior strength on bracers (Deadwind Pass). I farmed these for myself, but technically these would probably make a pretty good gold farm for any class/spec. Luck is a factor - it took me a while to get the intellect enchant for myself, but the next mob after it dropped a second one that I then sold in the AH (for about 100g, I think).
You could also try farming golden pearls (turtles are a good source, if you have skinning - most water creatures drop the clams). Again, the drop rate of golden pearls is low, so you might have “bad days” and “good days”.
I see a lot of mining happening in Darkwhisper Gorge, but you have to avoid the elite demons as a paladin. I get the impression that it’s not a bad place to get arcane crystals. (I don’t think I’ve seen anyone both farm the demons & mine the nodes there…it seems to be an either/or thing for some reason.)
If you’re 58, then up level60 doing the less quest possible (farm dugeons, grind mobs etc…)
Now that you’re 60, every quest you complete gives you 10% of the experience reward in gold. A 5000 xp reward gives you 5 gold.
With all the Elite and Instance quests available once you hit level 60, you’ll be able to get around 500/600 gold only by emptying your quest log (includes quest xp reward, item reward and drops to sell)
Try to farm satyr in azhara or felwood, rankers are in bgs, no ganksquads, plus if you want to pve as prot you need these runes dropping from them. Jadefire run is around 10flat gold per hour plus Grey Green etc and felcloth drops can make you 50 gold per hour. Better if you had tailoring but its still good since you May want these runes
Just get to 60 and do dungeons for pre raid bis. You will get the gold before getting all the gear from dungeons
go strat live, farm orbs.
if you’re a miner do rich thorium veins for arcane crystals.
devilsaur leather if you’re a skinner.
etc.
Farm gold in AV while getting exaltedand grinding your desired pvp rank. 3 Birds with 1 stone. Atleast that’s what I’m doing.
Some fast looting action and I’m already up 600-700g since that free for all loot update happened.
group up with warrior farm DME for for arcane crystals, if any1 of you enchanter disench items and share between 2 of you with nodes…
Felcloth doesn’t drop often enough to generate 50g per hour - AH price is around 3G per and you will be lucky to drop even 4 per hour
The elves in EPL and the Trolls next to their area are a decent farm
The elite ogres in STV regularly drop green weapons that vendor for 1 to 2G
It’s just a question of sticking to the grind usually- pick a couple of spots and stick with it
Do you even need epic mount? If you dont do BGs or farm herbs/ore all day long, epic mount is waste of gold, imo.
Thanks all for the good replies. I am lvl 60 for some time and got almost all items blue, combined tank gear with int gear, most plate items. I have no problem in tanking as long as group is patient.
On wpl everytime i go and start to, hordes appear but ill give it a try in tomb. Usually i tried outside.
I am miner and bs, i know, not good for a paladin, because i intend to be holy after epic mount, but its a think of mine. My main was always on every expansion hpala mining and blacksmith (still low atm).
I might give a try to receipe thinks, even tho i hate my luck. Never based on it.
I will for sure try more dmeast with a war and doing more strat live.
Regarding AV, how you do gold? The usually quest i did them already.
Regarding quests, did lots of them before 60, need to check what remained in the high area.
Thx again for all your tips and advises, i’ll try them all
I would run regular 5 man dungeons and UBRS up to 60. You will improve your gear and as long as the runs are clean you make a decent amount of gold along the way. Kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
If you just wanna straight up farm gold i think that the blood elves & satyrs in azhara is a good option. They drop runecloth & felcloth along with other grey & green weapons/armor pieces that when put together sells for a decent amount to vendor. Whats also good about them is that they have low healt pools and low armor so they die quickly.
as a side note if you where to go with the azhara strategy i recommend that you wait and sell the felcloth when phase 4 hits. they are used for crafting the bloodvine set and i suspect the price will increase.
I am curious. As a shaman grinding DMe every day (I love that place) how much gold do you think they are worth? Nerfed how? Compared to what?
Bodiesan, the lasher, you kill like 6-7 of them, a pack but only 2 of them have loot. If at least 5 of them would have loot, lots of gold could have been made
There are 10 lashers in 8 packs (well there are more but I only do 8). Thats 400 lashers in 5 runs. And you get around 25 Dreamfoil and Gromsblood.
Many are empty, sure, but there soooo many. Then throw in an epic and blue item mow and them and some books. Pretty nice 35-40g/h and always available no matter what.
Its not a get rich scheme but a good solid stable income.
Does crafting proffesions gives money?
If it’s worth it you could always do as I did in WotLK, I never farmed. I just bought the mats really cheap and stocked up in the bank. Then I sold what I crafted if the price was right.
Not sure how much it’s worth in classic though.
Alchemy is a profitable profession… I just grind ungoro crater mostly or go for herb gathering which I use with alch to get better returns.
Not for crafting usually (with some few exception on rare recipe). But Tailoring, Leatherworking and Alchemy have various long cooldown transmutes etc (1-3 days) for Mooncloth, Refined deeprock salt and transmute arcanite etc. Those will usually give around 5g/day is passive income.
Bodiesan, i feel like a play a different game. I did a run of dm east alone and cleared the packs of lasher and from 2 lasher that dropped loot per pack was trash item only and a herb which aint dream foil or gromsblood.
Like i said, luck is not my think. Ill try first 2 dungeon man dm east and see how it goes. After ill try all suggestions in case 2 man dungeon wont work.
Thx again to all for all your replies
