Gold Guide | Farming Wailing Caverns - 15,000G/hr

Sharing some more Information on my Wailing Caverns Video. It's linked on the bottom for those who haven't watched it yet.

This is part of my new series, where I run through all dungeons, try to find the fastest and most profitable round and share my results. After Ragefire Chasm was a real Flop, the wailing Caverns were a very nice surprise. Nearly every second Item I got was a Transmog-Piece and I already got a good amount of gold from selling them.

First I tried to run the complete dungeon, but the right wing only has a few spread out mobs that don't really drop a good amount of quality items but double the time you need for a run to about 15min. There are some plants which drop random herbs, but since they only drop one or two of a kind this becomes more of a bag filler than a gold maker. And because there is a wide range of mobs in the right wing, that each drop a certain array of greys to fill your bags up even quicker, I decided against running that part.

My next Idea was to only farm the raptors around the first part of the Instance for the Deviat Hatchling, which is selling for around 3k, and the Leather from skinning. This didn't work out so well too. The runs only take four and a half minutes to complete with skinning so you'd reach the instance cap and couldn't farm it as long as you wanted. Also your profit was tied to the Hatchling dropping, which on average only happens every 21 runs.

The best route I came up with was to pull all the Raptors for a chance of the pet and leather if you want that and then do the left wing. And this went really good. Here are some tips if you want to try it:
  • There always spawns a chest in the left wing, either behind Lord Pythas or in the next corner, where you should do your first stop and kill all the mobs. If you try to pull all the mobs, some will despawn to fast to be skinned. Also the chest often contains one or two extra greens and some other nice items.
  • It's a nice spot to farm Leather, you'll get about 400 Light and 200 Medium Leather per Hour, but if you're only doing this for the Gold you should use the skinning time for two and a half extra runs instead. One run without skinning takes about  six minutes, while one with skinning takes eight.
  • There are two or three herb and mining nodes in the instance, but they will only slow you down. I don't think the time is really worth picking them up, but there is one ore node next to Lord Pythas and the first possible chest spawn, which you could pick up with close to no time loss. It even has a chance to be a silver ore node and silver Ore can go for a nice amount of Gold.
  • You'll need to sell your items every three to five runs, depending on your bag space, and the way to the next vendor is a nice run through the long cave and a flight away. I recommend putting your Hearthstone to Crossroads or Ratchet if you want to farm the Instance more often.
Now to my Gold Calculation and the drops I got. All the prices are average ones and can of course differ to the better or the worse. These are from ten runs, five with skinning and five without. I doubled the Leather drops for this calculation.

Without Transmog & Skinning:
  • 47x Wool Cloth = 33.84G
  • 59x Linen Cloth = 18.88G
  • 0.33 Greater Astral Essence = 0.70G
  • 18x Greater Magic Essence = 57.24G
  • 48x Strange Dust = 83.52G
  • 1x Moss Agate = 12.38G
  • 6x Shadowgem = 15.00G
  • 2x Tigerseye = 2.92G
  • 2x Formula: Enchant Bracer - Minor Spirit = 150.08G
  • 1x Schamtic: EZ-THro Dynamite = 57.44G
  • 1x Pattern: Gray Woolen RObe - 143.81G
  • 1x Pattern: Hillman's Belt - 118.51G
  • = 469.84G/hr
Without Transmog:
  • 469.84G Without Transmog & Skinning
  • 12x Medium Hide = 37.56G
  • 236x Medium Leather = 594.72G
  • 36x Light Hide = 64.8G
  • 438x Light Leather = 543.12G
  • = 1934.52G/80min / 80min * 60min = 1450.89G/hr
Without Skinning:
  • 469G Without Transmog & Skinning
  • 1x Bloodspattered Shield = 255.93G
  • 1x Ceremonial Leather Harness = 647.67G
  • 1x Barbarci Cloth Vest = 1178.29G
  • 1x Gloves of the Fang = 1774.64G
  • 1x Buccaneer's Gloves = 222.64G
  • 1x Prospector's Mitts = 867.06G
  • 1x Raider's Gauntlets = 151.69G
  • 1x Outrunner's Cord - 209.33
  • 2x Prospector's Sash = 1113.43
  • 2x Outrunner's Legguards = 1572.46
  • 1x Bloodspattered Loincloth = 334.91
  • 1x War Paint Legguards = 300.02
  • 1x Ceremonial Leather Loincloth = 3694.86
  • 1x Bristlebark Boots = 315.89
  • 1x Rigid Moccasins = 301.74
  • 1x Bard's Boots = 280.98
  • 1x Ritual Sandals = 153.25
  • 1x Feral Shoes = 186.58
  • 1x Mystic's Slippers = 241.68
  • 1x Outrunner's Slippers = 350.88
  • = 14848.25G/hr
With Skinning & Transmog:
  • 14848.25G without Skinning
  • 12x Medium Hide = 37.56G
  • 236x Medium Leather = 594.72G
  • 36x Light Hide = 64.8G
  • 438x Light Leather = 543.12G
  • = 16088.44G/80min / 80 * 60 = 12066.34G/hr
My results for the last one "With Skinning & Transmog" are wrong in the video, because I just added the per hour of skinning with the Transmog total and divided by 80 again... Please don't tell no one <3

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.

Gold Guide | Farming Gnomeregan - 6,400G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you if you're thinking about farming Gnomeregan for Gold. The Instanceportal is Located in western Dun Morogh, but as a horde player you can use the teleporter located in Grom'gol. This porter makes the Instance really great to farm for Horde players, because you also get ported back there once you leave and have your mailbox and vendor right there. The alliance has to go into Gnomeregan, down the elevator and then take a left, once they have the choice, to find the instance portal. Inside we do, what no low level group should do. We take the parachute from the box located straight in front of the entrance, pull one of the Troggs, only the uninfected work for this, and jump down. On the bottom we pull the Viscous Fallout which is just circling behind us and then run straight across into the gnome tunnel. Here I jump up and down and taunt in between to get the mobs on both levels. At the circle part you take a right, because the way down is on ...

TYDKAWoW #003 | There was a hidden Troll Faction

Image
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 th...

Gold Guide | Farming Shadowfang Keep - 7,500G/hr

Image
Here is some Information for you if you're thinking about farming Shadowfang Keep for Gold. The Instance is Located in southern Silverpine Forest and has a huge Storyline to it, which horde players can follow before even entering the Instance with Quest in the Zone. Sadly this also means, that we're affected by boring speeches that only slow us down. On the good side, the route I'm taking only contains one of the speeches. We start the Instance in a room full of Quest and Story NPC's. You then head into the right doorway and pull all the mobs up until the boss. Kill all the Trash before you go near the Boss. Once the Boss is dead the first Storypoint is reached and the Instance to this point fills with NPC's and the Trash will despawn. If you haven't looted/killed them yet - bad luck. Now we have to wait for one of the NPC's to open the door, which takes about 30seconds. This time can be used perfectly to disenchant Items from previous runs. After the doo...

TYDKaWoW #004 | The Scarlet Monastery was a single Instance

Image
Scarlet Commander Mograine. (©World of Warcraft Trading Card Game) We all still know, how the four scarlet Instances looked, back before Mist of Pandaria. We had the Graveyard, Armory, Cathedral and the Library. Each only featuring one to three Bosses, which at the time of it's release was quite a low amount in comparison. With the revamp the Graveyard and Cathedral were combined into the Monastery and the Armory and Library in the Scarlet halls, both having three Bosses. But this actually wasn't the first revamp. During the WoW Alpha, the Scarlet Monastery was one dungeon, combining all the four Dungeons we got during Vanilla. But was changed before release. Dungeon Map for the original single dungeon layout. Starting in the Halls of Visitors, which now holds the Instanceportals and some non-elite mobs, leading into the Garden part, where old Houndmaster Loksey was located. Then you'd encounter Herod in his usual Hall of Heros, which featured a few more statues and a...
