TYDKaWoW #020 | Raid Portals indicate not only Difficulty but also Size

Well today maybe not so helpful anymore, because all the raids have a flexible size, right? But it still remains for the older raids from Wrath of the Lich King were the different sizes were introduced to Mist of Pandaria, where they were abandoned.

The skull for the heroic version was always obvious to me. It is an easy indicator to tell, that you are set to the heroic version of the raid. We also knew that from before, as the Burning Crusade alsready had those for the dungeon portals. But that is not the only indicator on the Portal.

Besides the difficulty setting you can already see the raid size. You might have noticed them, but didn't know what they were about. There are actually orbs floating around the raid portal. Each orb symbolizes one group of five people. So if you set the raid size to 10-man, you will se two orbs circling around the center and if you set it to 25-man, you will see 5 orbs.

The raid portal for the Icecrown Citadel with 10-man, 25-man and 25-man heroic difficulty.

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 | 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

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 #010 | You can see Azeroth from the Black Temple

Image
I almost never look up in game. I have been a bunch of times in the Black Temple. I have been enough times in the Black Temple to get myself a pair of Warglaives of Azzinoth . But I never noticed, that you can actually see Azeroth in the sky. Every part of the raid, that takes place outside, you can just look up, and there the orb is. But why can we see it? Outlands and Azeroth isn't supposed to be so close to each other. If that were the case, we should be able to see it from anywhere in the Outlands? Well we got the lore explanation in a twitter thread, that started with the question, if Draenor and Azeroth are in the same solar system. The answer is no, they aren't. The answer to our question then still remains, but was answered a few tweets below. This wasn't answered by Blizzard directly, but the answer has been certified with a like from Ex-Lead Narrative Designer Dave Kosak. @useless740 @DaveK
