WoW Guides For Gold

This might not be a secret anymore because I’m seeing more and more farmers farming for Encrypted Twilight Text from the Twilight Cultists in Silithus. These mobs have such low health, at around 3,000 to 4,000, that they would easily be killed by a level 70. You have the advantage if you’re an AOE class.

The drop rate for Encrypted Twilight Text is around 20% to 25%. At that rate you could collect a lot in just an hour of farming. At my server a stack of 10 cold fetch 20gold from the Auction House, although this might vary in other servers.

The Twilight Cultists are heavily farmed since the Echoes of Doom patch. This is because a lot of people would want to earn the achievement Guardian of Cenarius. To get the title a player must be exalted in both Cenarion Circle and the Cenarion Expedition. A stack of 10 Encrypted Twilight Texts could be turned in for 500 Cenarion Circle rep.

The Encrypted Twilight Texts are not the only valuable items that the Twilight Cultists drop. They also could be looted for their Twilight Cultist set, which includes the Twilight Cultist Mantle, Twilight Cultist Cowl and the Twilight Cultist Robe. Each item of the set could be sold for 1 to 2gold.

Or you could use the items to summon a boss that would usually drop an Abyssal Crest plus a green item. A stack of these can give you 40gold. Now that’s a lot more gold for your bank.

The Twilight Cultists are also a good source for runecloth. While farming for Encrypted Twilight Texts, you’ll be also collecting tons of runecloths. A single runecloth could be worth around 15silver. Runecloths are in demand these days because a lot of players need it for rep.

You might also want to be on the lookout for a level 60 Elite spawn called Twilight Prophet. She would path around with two guards but at level 70 you could easily handle them. She usually drops 7 to 10 Encrypted Twilight Texts.

As you can see farming the Twilight Cultists would not be a waste of your time. You’ll be getting a lot of gold for your effort. Like always, be sure to empty your bags before going to your farming spot. Time equals gold and if you’ll be spending more time travelling and emptying your bags then you’re not maximizing your gold farming potential.

I came across this idea of farming Lower Blackrock Spire while talking with a Rogue friend of mine. He said that he makes around 200gold per hour. When teamed up with another Rogue, he makes half of that amount. Prerequisite for this grind is good blue gears. Be sure to carry greater fire protection pots because most of the mobs are fire based.

If you have the right gear, then you should proceed to the Lower Blackrock Spire and stealth your way to the right. After dropping of the first ledge, go to your left and through two doors. Once you get through the second door, stop. To the right you’ll see a ledge with the other side occupied by ogres. Move to the ledge and you’ll see that there’s a platform you can jump down on. Go to that platform then move forward where you can see another platform. Jump onto it as well. Lastly, you need to fall to the ground where you can see several tents. Remember that you must fall and not jump when going to the ground. Jumping would cause your stealth to break. Watch out for pats.

Then go towards the hill where you can find the spiders. To your right you will find the mobs that most groups would typically ignore in LBRS. There is a group of 3 in the left, a group of 3 to the right and a pair at the back. Although the groups of 3 are not linked, you’ll be agro the other if you pull one group because they are close to each other.

What you want to pull is the pair at the back. One of the mobs is Firebrand Pyromancer. This must be your target, so you must sap the other. Pull the Pyromancer from behind then pop Evasion when he’s in range. He is a runner so be sure to have Crippling Poison with you. As soon as the Pyromancer is dead, loot and vanish.

So you might be asking why farm a single mob? The Firebrand Pyromancer is the only mob in the World of Warcraft that drops Pattern: Robe of the Archmage. This epic pattern for Tailors could be sold for around 100gold. It makes the best raiding chest for mages up to Naxx.

If you’re not lucky enough to get the pattern, they drop other profitable items as well, including Recipe: Greater Fire Protection Potion. This Alchemy recipe can fetch around 40gold in the Auction House.

If you’re a Rogue then give this a try one of these days. Good luck!

The birdmen of Terokkar Forest place high on my list of grinding mobs. They could be found in three encampments located within the forest. The three camps are veil Reskk, Veil Shienor, and Veil Skith. You will know you’re at the right spot if you can see tree house above.

What make these birdmen of Terokkar Forest attractive for farming are their Arokkoa feathers. These feathers are used to build up your Lower City Rep. Turn in 30 Arakkoa feathers to Vekax at the northern portion of Lower City. You can turn in feathers for Rep until you get Honored with the faction. Granting that you’re not running any instances, you’ll need at least 1,080 Arakkoa Feathers to reach it. For Humans, they’ll need a minimum of 990 feathers.

That may seem a lot but the feathers have a 50% chance to drop per kill. Plus, there are times that 2 or more feathers drop from the same mob. According to my estimation, you’ll be Honored by farming at around 4 hours of farming. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone. You get rep while making easy WoW gold.

So you might be asking how you can turn these feathers into gold. When you turn in the feathers, you’ll be receiving 250 Lower City rep and an Outcast’s Cache, which will contain a random green item. The bag might also include potions and scrolls from time to time. If you’re lucky, the bag could contain a blue item such as Windwalker’s Footwraps, Talonite’s Boots, Ravenguard’s Greaves, and Dreadhawk’s Schynbald. You could sell these items for decent gold.

If you’re already Honored with the Lower City, you could still farm for Arakkoa Feathers. Based on my experience, it is more profitable if you sell the Arakkoa Feathers over the Auction House. A single Arakkoa feather can go for at least 1gold at the AH. It’s not only those wanting to be Honored with Lower City that’s your customers but also Leatherworkers. The feathers are used to make Knothide Quiver.

With that said you must prepare for competition while farming the birdmen. In my server, there’s at least one farmer in a camp at any given time. These are highly farmed mobs and you should be aggressive with your farming methods.

Arakkoa Feathers could make you lots of WoW gold quick. If my computations are correct, you should make at least 200 to 300gold per hour farming for these feathers.

Once you’ve reached level 40, there are a couple of spots in the World of Warcraft that you can farm for gold. There are two spots in which you can solo while there’s one that you might need a help from a high level friend. Here are the places that you can go to farm for gold.

Badlands’ Rock Elementals

Level 37 to 40 Rock Elementals could be found at the North West or East of the Badlands. Once you’ve reached their camp, start grinding them. Kill each and every Rock elemental you find and loot everything they drop.

They drop considerable amount of vendor trash plus items such as Solid Stone, Deeprock Salt, and Elemental Earth that you can sell at the Auction House for more gold. Rock Elementals are good grind mobs that can give you lots of WoW gold.

Scarlet Monastery

You can get lots of WoW gold in this instance. Even if you got to share some with a level 70 friend, it would still enough for both of you. All you need to do is to run the Library, Armory and Cathedral again and again.

You might be able to run the instance with a normal group but your share of the gold and loot would diminish. To maximize your gold potential, it is best to just run it with a friend who would be willing to give you all the gold and loot.

The best grind spot in the Scarlet Monastery would be the Graveyard. The Forsaken Spirits in that area would drop around 1 to 8silver per kill. Plus they also drop vendor trash and green items. Best of all, you can solo these mobs because they are level 30 to 32 non-elites. They might come in groups of threes but a level 40 Hunter had no trouble grinding these mobs.

Stranglethorn Vale’s Adventure Co. Geologists and Murlocs

If you’re in a PVP realm, you’ll know that Stranglethorn Vale is gank city. If you’re in a PVE realm then you can grind any mob in STV. But if you belong in a PVP server, the best farming spot would be at the North East of STV. There you’ll find Adventure Co. Geologists. The Geologists are a great source of Silk and they have a good drop rate for green items. They can be easily killed.

But if there are players from the other side farming the Geologists and you simply can’t kill them, then head to the Murlocs. Chests usually spawn at this spot and the Murlocs go down fast. They drop around 1 to 3 silver with each kill.
