WoW Guides For Gold

These days everyone is busy with WoTLK. But still one of the best sellers in the Auction House is the Primals. Any Elemental Primal is priced high in the AH and this is a great way to rack up a couple of WoW gold.

Each Primal has its own farming spot. Most Primal farmers want to keep this a secret but I am here to guide you on the best spots to farm for these. For this first part I’ll be discussing the spots for Primal Earth, Water and Fire.

Let’s start off with the Primal Earth, which is probably the easiest Primal to farm if you’re a miner. If you’re not a miner then go to the Southwestern part of Nagrand and grind on the Earth Elementals found there. Their name is Shattered Rumblers and their level ranges from 66 to 67. Their drop rate for Mote of Earth is around 20% therefore you should be able to collect around 3 to 4 Primal Earths in an hour.

If you’re looking for Primal Fire then go to the Throne of Kil’jaedan located at Northeastern area of the Hellfire Peninsula. Here you can find lots of fire elementals that would drop Motes of Fire. What’s nice about this spot is that the mobs spawn when their numbers are low. The downside is that this is a heavily farmed area and a daily quest spot. You should farm here during off peak.

For Primal Water you have two choices. The first choice would be grinding the Shimmerscale Eels at the Slimyr Lake in the Terokkar Forest. They have a decent drop rate for Motes of Water but the downside is that the farming would be done underwater. To fully maximize your farming potential, you must have underwater breathing potions with you. If you have 380 Fishing Skill then you can opt to fish for the motes around Nagrand. This would be a bit tedious because you need to fly around Nagrand and look for Pure Water nodes. This option should only be taken if there’s a crowd in the Slimyr Lake.

Primal farming in the Outlands is a profitable way of earning easy gold in the World of Warcraft. Next time I’ll be discussing the farming spots for Primal Air, Mana, Shadow, and Life. That way you’ll have lots of alternative in making WoW gold. This way if a certain spot is crowded you’ll have other options to choose from.

Primal Water is always in demand anytime of the year. It is used for a lot of crafted epic items. On the Auction House, it is sold for 20gold each. This is a farming opportunity that’s just waiting for you to grab it. There are a lot of spots in which you can farm for Motes of Water but the best spot to farm in would be the Slimyr Lake North of Cenarion Thicket in the Terokkar Forest.

Shimmerscale Eels live in this lake. They range from level 62 to 63. Although they usually drop vendor trash, they do have a decent drop rate for Motes of Water. The drop rate is around 20%. Combine ten motes of water and you’ll get one Primal Water.

What’s good about the Shimmerscale Eels is that they have low hit point, around 3,000 to 3,300. No matter what class you might be, these eels would go down fast. To be able to maximize your farming it would be best to drink underwater breathing potions. That way you would not be spending anytime going up to breath.

In an hour of farming, I managed to acquire a total of 50 Motes of Water. That translates into 5 Primal Water. I sold it for 20gold each and in less than an hour of placing it in the Auction House, it sold out. That’s 100gold for my bank from the grind. Not bad for one hour’s worth of work.

There are a lot of advantages of farming the Shimmerscale Eels for Primal Water. The locale in which you’ll do the grind is close to Shattrath City. The eels die fast and they have a fast respawn rate. The drop rate for Motes of Water is good as well. Although the eels don’t drop any silver, their vendor trash makes up for it.

Underwater farming could be a hassle without any underwater breathing potions. That’s one thing you need to have before going to the farm site. Another disadvantage is that this site is popular therefore it could be heavily farmed. You could check the area first. If there is already a player farming the area, it could still be bearable to farm there. But if there are already 2 or more then go to another area already because it would not be worth it anymore.

Primal Water is a good source of WoW gold. You just have to know where to farm for it.

It is only rational that once you’ve hit level 70, the only place you need to spend a lot of time in is the Outlands, save for the daily Isle of Quel’danas run. The Outlands is where you can farm for items that worth a lot than any items you’ll find in Azeroth. Items such as elemental motes that could be turned into primals can bring in a lot of WoW gold for you.

One of the places in the Outlands that I love is the Hellfire Peninsula, specifically at the eastern regions where the Voidwalkers are aplenty. In an hour of farming the area can give you around 2 Primal Shadows that is worth 30gold each. That’s 60gold in just an hour. Plus you’ll also get a couple of greens and vendor trash as well. The Voidwalkers would also drop decent gold with each kill.

For skinners like me, Nagrand would be the place to grind for Thick Clefthoof Leather. This leather is priced at 3gold each in my server’s Auction House. What you want are the Clefthoof Bulls which have a better drop rate than the other clefthoof mobs. Go to North West of Garadar for the best grinding spot. That is if you’re Horde. For the Alliance, you could visit east of Trelaar, just right beside the lake.

Even if you’re not a skinner, Nagrand could be a good source for your WoW gold. Around the area you can find a lot of elementals that can be farmed for motes. Go to the area around Oshu’Gun for some Motes of Shadow or to the South for Motes of Earth. Then there’s the plateau of elementals where you can farm for motes of fire, earth, and air. The downside is that the plateau is heavily farmed.

If you’re in a cloth farming mood, head to Netherstorm for its netherweave cloth. The areas around the Manaforges are the farming sites to go. The humanoid drop netherweave cloth and Sunfury Signets as well. Sunfury Signets sell for 1gold each at any given day.

Lastly, go spider-hunting in the Netherweb Ridge of the Terokkar Forest. Deadfang Widows and Lurkers are your target mobs. You can easily sell these for 10gold each. If you don’t want to hunt for spider then grind on the Talonite Birdmen for their Arakkoa Feathers. The feathers sell quickly in the Auction House plus they drop green items that could be disenchanted or sold in the AH as well.

If you are an Enchanter, then you can do this grind once or twice a day. You must also be at least level 60 for this grind, although a level 50 Rogue would probably be able to run through this. Herod is the Boss of Scarlet Armory therefore you need to have the Scarlet Key as well.

If you don’t have the Scarlet Key yet, at level 60 you can easily get it by yourself. You can get it after killing Arcanist Doan in the Scarlet Cathedral. It could be found in the chest at the back of the room. A bonus is that you’ll get the Achievement for the Scarlet Monastery after downing Arcanist Doan.

What you must do is to run towards Herod. At level 60, you would not have a hard time to solo the mobs in the armory. Rogues could stealth his way towards Herod. Once you reach Herod’s chamber, kill and loot him. The loot would then be disenchanted for a Small Radiant Shard. A single Large Radiant Shard is worth 10gold in the Auction House or maybe more. It would depend on the demand for it in your server.

At level 60, Herod would be a piece of cake for you. Even a Level 50 Rogue can handle the level 37 Scarlet Champion. He is a warrior that has a Whirlwind Attack. He would enrage when his health reaches 50%. The Whirlwind attack could be easily avoided. Just go outside of the melee range and you’ll be safe.

If you never done Herod before, don’t be surprised when a bunch of Scarlet Trainees barge into the room when Herod dies. These are Level 30 non-elites that you can easily DPS down with one blow because of their 100 to 150 HP. They are good sources of silk cloths.

If you do 5 runs a day, that means you get 50gold. Because you can only reset an instance for 5times in an hour, you could repeat this run before you log out. That would double your gold output to 100gold. In a week you’ll have at least 700gold. This could augment your savings for that epic flying mount.

That’s just on the Large Radiant Shard. I haven’t tackled yet the cloth you could collect in the Armory. Sell those in the Auction House and you’ll be making more than 100gold per day. It’s that simple.
