As most of you are aware, Blizzard have enabled flying mounts to be used in Wintergrasp when the battle is not active. I have recently been using this to my advantage by mining all the ores there! Here are some requirements needed:

1. 450 Mining
2. Patience & Time
3. Flying Mount (preferably Epic Flying)

The Wintergrasp territory consists of three different types of rocks or nodes:

1. Saronite Deposit
2. Rich Saronite Deposit
3. Titanium Vein

They are listed in order of least rare to rare.

Saronite Ore is worth about 15g a stack on my server. Titanium Ore, due to the mass need of the new epic gems is worth around 230g a stack on my realm.

Knowing this, this is how I manage to pull in a crap load of gold every hour.

First, I would start at the WG alliance base (when not having control of WG) and fly (Epic Mount) over this nice little route I have made from my experience mining.



Just follow the route above and you should get around 1 Stack of Saronite and maybe 3-10 individual ores of Titanium. I personally just keep going around that path for an hour, or until WG starts, when it starts I get the hell out of there and put my goods on the AH. I usually come away with this:

Around 5 - 10 stacks of saronite (75g-150g)
Around 1 - 2 stacks of Titanium
So it comes to around 400g an hour from selling all these ores.

Note: THIS MAY VARY WITH WHAT TYPE OF MOUNT YOU USE

I don't think this is AH dependent due to all the prices going up on Titanium, either way you're still making a huge profit.

For those who would like to get an upper hand in the market when the upcoming patch 3.2 goes live, there are two major changes that will affect the game economy. The first is the introduction of epic gems; the second is that Emblems of Conquest are now obtainable in all pre-Crusader dungeons and raids. We will discuss mainly about epic gems for now.

Epic gems can be obtained in a few different ways:

• Alchemy Transmutes
• Icy Prism - You can save them by mailing them to your banker and leave it in the mailbox
• Prospecting Titanium Ore
• Buying with Honor or Emblems of Heroism

Buying them with Honor and Emblems will probably be very unpopular, as everything will be dropping Emblems of Conquest and players will be eager to grab new gear before they will grab new gems. The other three on the other hand will have a profound effect on the market.

Transmuting an epic gem usually requires a blue gem of the same color as the desired epic gem and a specific Eternal. The following is a list of transmutes as they are currently on the PTR:

• Transmute: Ametrine: Monarch Topaz and Eternal Shadow
• Transmute: Cardinal Ruby: Scarlet Ruby and Eternal Fire
• Transmute: Dreadstone: Twilight Opal and Eternal Shadow
• Transmute: Eye of Zul: 3 x Forest Emerald
• Transmute: King’s Amber: Autumn’s Glow and Eternal Life
• Transmute: Majestic Zircon: Sky Sapphire and Eternal Air

The first thing to note is that players will be getting epic gems from a few sources. Players will largely be consuming the same amount of gems overall, as they will have about the same number of sockets. Some of the new recipes require epic gems, but it won’t have a huge impact on the market. Since only some portion of the epic gems being consumed use current rare gems as a material means that consumption of rare gems is going to go way down. There will still be a market as the poor man’s gem and as reagents for transmutes, but the prices of uncut and cut rare gems should drop significantly. Get rid of any stock that you have. The exception may be Forest Emerald, which requires 3 gems for the transmute. Only time will tell relatively how valuable they will be, but blue gems are used a lot by tanks, so I’m predicting a good market for the epic blue gems and hence Forest Emerald. Also, expect Eternal consumption to go way up with lots of new recipes and the transmutes.

Titanium on the other hand is going to be the game changer. People are stockpiling Titanium now, which may or may not be a good idea. It might be way overvalued right now; it’s risky to do. However, with rare gems losing demand and rare gems being the result of Titanium prospects as often of epic gems, rare gems should lose a significant amount of value from this alone. The flipside to this is that the value of Saronite and Cobalt should crash, as they will no longer be valuable to prospect. This is going to be a huge window of opportunity for Blacksmiths, who can potentially make lots of BoE stuff and disenchant it. Expect Enchanting supplies to increase in supply in the long run and prices to drop.

Finally, note the materials for the new crafted items, including a new orb from the Argent Coliseum: Crusader’s Orb. This list was complied by the writers at WarcraftEcon:

• Titansteel Bar
• Saronite Bar
• Arctic Fur
• Heavy Borean Leather
• Icy Dragonscale
• Nerubian Chitin
• Moonshroud
• Spellweave
• Ebonweave
• Crusader Orb
• Various epic gems, Eternals, Enchanting materials
• Deadly Saronite Dirk
• Corroded Saronite Woundbringer

These will probably enjoy a small price boost in the first month or so of patch 3.2.

Remember, the first two weeks will be crazy, as everyone will want epic gems and consumption will be through the roof. Expect it to level off within about 6 weeks. Happy hunting!

Firstly in order to do this, you need to be Horde (sorry to my treasured alliance readers). Then preferably you have a Healer and a couple of AOE'ers along if you are not level 80.

There's a quest in storm peaks called Sniffing out the Perpetrators.

Start this quest, then mount the tiger next to Khaliisi, but immediately dismount. Do this rapidly for about 10-20 times or more if you can handle them. This will spawn a massive stream of these Stormforged Pursuers.

After spawning, they will start chasing the stream of cats that you are spawning, then turn around and go for the person who spawned them (which is you).



Basically, they're super easy to kill, deal almost no damage, drop 20 silver each, Frostweave Cloth, occasional greens and even epics and also some experience as well. So if you are a level 80 and planning to farm here, bring along a non-level 80 friend for some free exp. Then all you have to do is to just pick them all up and aoe them down, you'll probably need a healer and an AOE'er for this, but depending on your spec you may be able to solo grind them.

The gold per hour you can make using this is totally insane, I hope it's useful to someone.

Here is a little guide to help you farm the formula for +40 Spell Damage to a weapon. It drops from the Razaani Spell-Thieves in Blade's Edge Mountain, and it's quite a pain with all those Flesh Beasts changing from hostile to docile. Below is a map of all the spawn points of the Spell-Thieves.


Point A
Is a simple pull. If you have a flying mount, farming is simple. Fly north of A to the edge of the spire and pull the Spell-Thief without getting any adds.

Point B
Is also simple if you wait for the mob to patrol near point A. It is also handled like mob A.

Point C
Is a pain, because no matter where you go, you will always pull the Raider/Nexus Stalker, and sometimes a Flesh Beast or another pat.

Point D
Is a simple pull. Fly into the center of the rock formation to the right of it and pull it.

Point E
Is a little tricky. If you wait for the flesh beast to return to it's docile state and make sure the pat is walking away from the Spell-Thief, then you can instant pull it and back up about 30 feet southwest of E's spawn point.

Points F
Are random Spell-Thief patrols that walk along the outside of Razaan's Landing. I only noticed one spawn every 15 to 30 minuites, so when you take care of points A through E, fly around the outside to see if any have spawned.


Each technique gives you plenty of time to loot the corpse and mount up before aggroing anything else. After one or two hours, you will have yourself the formula for Major Spellpower to a weapon.

Please Note:
The next patch is taking the formula away from the Razanni and giving it to the Bash'ir, but for those that don't want to wait, this guide is specially for you.

THIS HAS BEEN FIXED!

Ever in need of some quick gold to buy out something at good value from the AH or for whatever other purpose without spending too much time farming for hours? Well just turn your saved up honor into gold.

At the moment, you can buy 200x "Ice Threaded Bullet" from the Alterac Valley quartermaster for 1 honor point. Considering arrows cost 70s also, I don't know what's up here, whether it's something to be patched or not.

Basically, you can sell these arrows for 14s to a merchant.
1 honor point = 14s
10 honor points = 1.4g
100 honor points = 14g
1000 honor points = 140g
10,000 honor points = 1400g

I personally did this as a level 70 hunter with tier2/3 gear. Survival spec was nice, but BM is nicer cause you regen health after time, and it helps if you want a quick farm, at least for me it helped.

Blade's Edge Mountain, sub-zone: "Skald" at 72:23

- "Searing Elemental" => Primary farm subject in this guide.
Level: 67-68
Status: Hostile
Health: 6300-6600
= Mote of Fire (1-2)

This is a follow-up post to the earlier Make Money to Obtain Epic Flying Mount I posted last week.

Note: Motes of Shadow will not be included in this list as its usually cheaper to buy in AH than take the time to farm, this list is incomplete and will be updated with more information such as coords and ratings. This is just a list of mobs that have best drop rates on the particular motes.

Hope this at least gets you guys pointed in right direction.

Mote of Life
[Zangarmarsh][60-61][Withered Giants]
[Zangarmarsh][62-64][Starving Fungal Giants]

Mote of Water
[Terokkar][62-64][Shimmering Eels]
[Nagrand][6466][Lake Spirit]
[Nagrang][65-67][Lake Surger]
[Shadowmoon][67-69][Enraged Water Spirit]

Mote of Fire
[Blade's Edge][66-68][Searing Elemental]
[Shadowmoon][68-70][Enraged Fire Spirit]

Mote of Air
[Nagrand][65-66][Storm Ripper]
[Nagrand][66-67][Living Cyclones]
[Netherstorm][68-70][Enraged Air Spirit]

Mote of Earth
[Nagrand][64-65][Tortued Earth Spirit]
[Nagrand][65-66][Enraged Crusher]
[Shadowmoon][67-69][Enraged Earth Spirit]

With the recent release of the newly patched Auctioneer, I thought of posting a guide as to how to make money off it. I am not going to dwell too much into it as this is not something new but will highlight some important points to take note of.

So first and foremost download and install Auctioneer Addon if you haven't already done so and a good supporting addon to use with this is CT_MailMod. At this juncture you would have to download the entire CTMod collection but you may only add CT_MailMod into your Addon folder if you prefer to use other collections instead.
