Farming Black Temple with Tankadin AoE

This is a truly epic video made by Merodyn of the Dentarg EU realm, AoE farming the Blood Elves at Black Temple for profit as a Paladin.

The Blood Elves he is grinding are located just outside the entrance to the Black Temple. Primarily he appears to be fighting Demon Hunter Supplicants and Demon Hunter Initiates.

The following is his analysis of the method to execute this strategy:

Use rank 1 Consceration, + if u want use a low rank holy shield, while pulling them. Always try to have your front infront of them so that the poison applies proper and dont wear off(usually use low rank holy shield when i take all the guys at the stairs(those that healthemselves) Then when u got em gathered go all out with full rank Consceration/avenging wrath. If u manage to get the elite demonhunter, just judge wisdom on him and use seal of wisdom, u wont go oom and he doesnt hurt more than a regular guy kinda. I usually just deaggros him by jumping off a cliff when the initates are dead.

Use Petrified ancient guard/figurine(figurine drops of last boss shattered halls and it gives 120 health each time u block).
Put a Felspike on the petrified ancient guard(sporregar shield, extremly easy to get, the skullflame shield might work aswell - lower dura on that one tho + it might count as magic dmg, so it will kinda suck on the group that gives a magic debuff, compared to using the poison shield. Else, get alot of + block rating and + spelldmg gear

These mobs drop some fairly decent loot - as you can imagine, though, the real gold-maker here is the sheer volume of mobs you will be downing. Make sure to start this strategy with light bags! This can also work great for building up Scryer reputation.

Viable Gold Making as a Tailor/Enchanter

Here’s a nice little video detailing one player’s method for making lots of gold with tailoring and disenchanting.

Napalm on Burning Legion (EU) uses the auction house to buy up massive quantities of Netherweave Cloth then uses his tailoring skills to make a relatively cheap item, Netherweave Bracers. Then he turns around and sells the disenchants on the auction house for equally massive amounts of gold.

This is a classic gold-making strategy and also explains why most of my characters have been enchanters, lol. It’s the type of strategy that Valkor’s Gold Guide is all about. At 120 pages, it’s easy to print, is continually updated with new information for free and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee - it’s virtually impossible to go wrong with this guide.

Buying Void Crystals - Patch 2.4

One of the great things for savvy auctioneers in World of Warcraft is waiting for new patches and the gold rushes they often bring.

On February 1, Blizzard poster Drysc wrote the following:

You’re pretty close, but it’s actually going to be a part of Enchanting. Once every 24 hours, through Enchanting (not Alchemy) you’ll be able to split a Void Crystal into two Large Prismatic Shards. This is through a new recipe that’s being added in 2.4.
This helps reduce the exorbitant prices currently being seen for Large Prismatics, and helps raise the value of the Void Crystals. While this is the only change planned in 2.4 to help the Void Crystal prices, we’re still looking at the possibility of additional ‘help’ for Void Crystal value in the future.

So do I really need to tell you that you should probably start taking a long, hard look at the Void Crystal market on your realm?

Void Crystals (Wowhead | Wowecon) are currently averaging about 16.7 gold on US Alliance markets, while Large Prismatic Shards (Wowhead | Wowecon) are currently going for an average of 23 gold in the same markets.

On the surface of things this doesn’t seem like an extremely lucrative deal, however the markets on your particular realm and even blind luck can heavily skew profit margins in your favor. So it is worth at least a look.

One extremely important thing to note, however: if you are holding any Large Prismatic Shards with the intent to sell them on the Auction House do so ASAP! Or well, at least before Patch 2.4 hits the servers. This is sure to make the price on these drop fast. I would also recommend against buying any unless you actually use them for crafting or unless you see what would be a common sense purchase (i.e. you see one selling for five gold).

How to AoE grind as a Hunter

This video was made by Reech, a night elf hunter on the Ysera US realm. It shows him solo-farming the Deadmines at level 58. Not a difficult task for any class in general, but it is an excellent illustration of how to AoE grind as a hunter. Mages, Paladins and Warlocks can’t have ALL the fun, can they?

Solo-farming instances is only part of the equation to making gold, though. To learn the best way to take advantage of the other part, the Auction House, you should read Valkor’s Gold-Making Guide. It is THE BEST gold guide out there right now.
