TYDKAWoW #003 | There was a hidden Troll Faction

During the Vanilla of World of Warcraft there was one Faction for each of the two Questhubs in the Hinterlands. The Horde had the "Revantusk Trolls" and the Alliance had the "Wildhammer Clan".

The "Revantusk Trolls"-Faction was introduce in Patch 1.5, along with the Revantusk Village, which is located on the coast of Hinterlands. You were only able to get your Reputation up to 340/3000 Neutral, because that's how far all of the normal Quests would get you and no repeatable Quest or reputation-yielding mob was ever added. The Faction got removed with one of the 1.11 Bugfix-Patches.

The "Wildhammer Clan" was in game since it's release and was the Faction for the "Aerie Peak" Questhub. It was actually possible to reach Exalted with this Faction; you had the normal Quests and the repeatable "Troll Necklace Bounty". For a turn in of 5x Troll Tribal Necklace you'd get 25 Reputation and 390 Experience. With that in mind, players liked the extra XP from the Necklaces they got at a ~50% droprate, but weren't going to farm Reputation, because there was no Reward for it except the normal discounts. There was at least one Person though, Cruciatus (Server Unknow), who farmed the ~16k Trolls you needed, before the Faction got removed with Patch 2.0.3. 

Screenshot that has been shared online. (@Cruciatus)

Since Cataclysm we again have a "Wildhammer Clan"-Faction, but it is no way like the old one and your interaction with it won't start till you reach the Cataclysm zones.

Was this a Thing You Didn't Know about World of Warcraft?

Gold Guide | Runecloth Shuffle

Image
I love simple math, as you can tell from the calculations below. So i wanted to make this Guide, because I had so much Runecloth from my BWL Trash | Gold Guide  and I didn't wanted to flood the market with all the cloth and also thought I could make more money. You can see the three best Methods I found during my research below and all the calculations, which contain average prices from theunderminejournal . For all three methods you will be needing Tailoring and Enchanting. I disenchanted 100 of all the Gear pieces below to get an average. All Gear made is learned from the Trainer. Runecloth Belt - Runecloth into Dream Dust This is  the cheapest way to convert Runecloth into Dream Dust. With the Average prices, this guide doesn't make any gold. This Shuffle is profitable if the prices for Runecloth and Dream Dust are: 4Stacks of Runecloth < 1 Stack of Dream Dust Turn all lesser eternal essences into greater ones; nobody buys lesser ones. Created with: 3x Bol

Mining Route | Adamantite & Korium Ore

Image
We are farming on the Isle of Quel'Danas. This is the route we will be farming and it's not that hard to follow because there are only about 13 spawn points that respawn fast enough so you can just run around the isle over and over and over again. Since Khorium shares their spawn points with rich Adamantite you will also get this if you farm long enough. You won't have competition either because people only go on the isle for Sunwell Plateau or Magisters' Terrace. My result of 15 minutes farming: 74 Adamantite Ore (5.26G per) 24 Mote of Earth (0.52G per) 4 Eternium Ore (0.13G per at the vendor) 1 Shadow Draenite (13.5G per) 1 Deep Peridot (8.98G per) =1698.88 Gold/Hour I'm selling Eternium Ore because you most likely won't find a buyer for that. It has no really use ingame anymore; only a few recipes need it. You can also vendor the blue gems because when you have the jewelcrafting skill to use them you can also start using northrend green gems so nobody will

Gold Guide | Farming Blackfathom Deeps - 10,000G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you if you're thinking about farming Blackfathom Deeps for Gold. The Instance is located in Ashenvale, hidden in an underwater cave on the zom'gor strand. The cave starts after diving into the pond formed on the bottom of the most northern building. The way through the cave is quite simple, which you'll have to take after about every two instance runs, to empty your bags. So you might want to put your heartstone at an Inn in Ashenvale. The one for the horde is right at the Strand and the nearest for the Alliance is in Astranaar.  Once you're inside you'll notice the instance got a revamp with wod. This introduced new mobs - and most of them now have a max follow range or just won't follow you inside or out of the water, meaning we have to stop a lot and kill single groups. This is also why you're free to use any profession you have. Normally I stay away from mining or herbing because it's mostly an extra stop, but since we

Gold Guide | Farming Razorfen Kraul - 9,300G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you, if you're thinking about farming Razorfen Kraul for Gold. The Instance is located in southern Southern Barrens. Once inside, you're going to notice, that this is one of the Instances, that got revamped with Warlords of Draenor. One of the new things you have to look out for, are trap wires on the ground. There is also the new system, where you have to kill the boss to progress, so we make our first stop at Kraulshaper Tukaar here and then continue. The next tunnel part has the first spawn location of the two treasure chests, that will always be in one run. To see all five spawn locations, watch the video below. Near the End of the Tunnel will be a root to the right, which you can use as a shortcut, to get on top of the right path way. At the end of it is the next boss, where we round of the next group of trash and kill them with the boss. You can now use the higher ledge on this part, to get across the drop with your glider onto the
