Mining for Thorium can yield some good profit. With this route in the Eastern Plaquelands, you can average around 20 ores a round. Each stack can sell for nearly 40G depending on your server. Start at Caer Darrow (labeled “START”)

The start box is obviously where you start

The circled areas are where you can find big Thorium spawns

The route is a preferred route where you may find a few extra Thorium spawns on the way

The Isle of Quel’danas is an awesome place to gather Mana Thistles, it’s one of the best places as there are quite a few spawns. The respawn rate is really fast too. Here is the route I go:

A-C: The place with the most spawns, gets around 1-2 per round.

D: Kind of far away, slow spawn rate – just go far enough to check if theres a spawn there on your minimap.

E-F: Expect to get around 1 spawn here per round.

G: This isn’t a Mana Thistle but a Nightmare Vine. The reason why I placed it here is because it’s a neat bonus and spawns a lot.

You can get around 5 Mana Thistles and 2 Nightmare Vines per round. Each round takes a little over 5 minutes.

PS: Don’t say anything about my uber-paint skillz.

To get to level 527 fishing, you will need the following items:

  1. +35 fishing from an Arcanite Fishing Pole
  2. +5 fishing by putting on the High Test Eternium Fishing Line on your pole
  3. +100 fishing from an Aquadynamic Fish Attractor
  4. +5 fishing from a Lucky Fishing Hat
  5. +2 fishing from a pair of gloves that has been enchanted with Formula: Enchant Gloves – FishingWoW Gold Guide image of an Aquadynmaic Fish attractor
  6. +5 fishing from Nat Pagle’s Extreme Anglin’ Boots

And obviously, you need a fishing level of 375! You will now never ever see the message “Your fish got away!”.

Skinning for Windscales

WoW Gold Guide image of a WindscaleSkinning isn’t normally an efficient way of making big money in high levels, but it is an exception in this case. Skinning Wind Scales is a great way to make great money. Why? They’re needed for quite a few of those new recipes that came out in 2.4 and also the BT recipes. Whats more, a stack of these can go for around 220G. The mobs at Scalewing Shelf in the South Eastern region of Blade’s Edge Mountain such as the Scalewing Serpent have a 18-ish% skinning rate. Do watch out for the 70 Elite that wonders around the area though. This mob also has some great drops, such as Serpent Flesh which can go for nearly 50G a stack. And to top all of this off, is that not many people know about this place, hence making it nearly always empty! High Demand + No Supply… I’m sure you can make loads with this items, and even better – dominate and control the market :)
