A guide describing how to make great gold (Horde leveling)
Hello again, it was long time since i wrote here. I’ve had some family issues aswell as BC coming up. Now when i have my Blood Elf Paladin at lvl 70 i decided to write my second part of the guide ‘How to make gold before level 60′, but i’m now editing it to ‘How to make gold before level 70′.
The Guide
PART TWO: STRATEGY AND METHOD
One very important thing that everyone must think about before they level up their character is how they want it in the end. Ask yourself these questions for example:
Do you want to be exalted with a specific faction when you ding max level?
Do you want to PvP or PvE?
Do i want to grind alot or perhaps quest alot?
These and alot of other questions are very important for how your character will develop. You can of course do all of these things but the problem is that not everyone has time for this because of different real life issues and therefore has to read in a guide like this to solve this problem. Because we all want to be the best of the best, right?
Say that you create an Dwarf Priest, you decide that you want to go exalted with Darnassus so you can get the tiger mount easy later on. Then you will have to move all the way to Terdasill to quest for easy Night Elf reputation. This is an example of how you plan your characters future.
With the release of Burning Crusade many people made misstakes, well, not really misstakes… but they took a path that would be very meaningless.
You probably wonder what they did, and i will tell you.
Once they reached outlands they started questing, and questing means more experience of course but there is one problem. Many of the different instances in outlands is reputation based. With this i mean that you for example need to be revered with one specific instance to go inside it in heroic mode on lvl 70. Now to get revered with a faction most people problably know that you will need quite some amount of reputation.
Let me give you a hint what happened after everyone leveled to 70.
First we take a random character name, lets call him Yuri.
Yuri quested 60-70 and by doing that he was first to ding 70 on the server. Yuri was of course happy but suddenly he noticed that all instances in the game needed revered to be able to enter in heroic mode.
But Yuri had already done all quests for that faction and by this Yuri was only honored. Now Yuri had to farm instances for 1 week to open the instance and alot of people passed him because of better strategy.
The second player, Sayic, decided to do instances to level 70 with some grinding involved. When he dinged 70 he had only done some non faction binded quests aswell as lots of instances. He had awsome gear and was honored with all the factions. What did he need?
Well as said before he needed revered. But because Sayic had saved all his quests for the faction he managed to do all the quest for the faction very easy because he was so high level and therefore gained revered in one afternoon.
If you now analyse these two different players stratergies, wich one of them was the best?
In my opinion the lazy one with instance grinding to 70.
Remember that a smart player is a lazy player.
Now there are different methods of leveling through the game, and they all differ in difficulties.
The main leveling methods are Questing and Grinding. And then you can of course do these in different ways like AoE grinding or Single mob grinding.
The fastest way for a beginner aswell as a professional would probably be questing. Remember that if you want low /played time like Joana or any other powergamer. PLAY AS THEY DO!
Think like this when you are online:
Am i totaly ready to level?
Am i sure i wont go do something else?
Speed is the key… and if you start to do other things like ALT+TAB out and look on webpages , you might aswell just logout.
————————————————————————————
Now remember, the key to fortune is to learn the AH. And it is actually not very hard to understand it, actually it is very much like our own stock market. If demands go up the prices follow, if they go down so does the prices.
So now you probably want to put up some strategy for your item selling. You want to sell the item, think like the buyer.
Would i pay this much money for this item?
If you answer yes then put it up on AH for that price.
Remember it is not bad to undercut other people’s items, it will just raise your chance of getting your item sold witch will enable you to earn more money.
————————————————————————————–
Now do you remember what i said about instance grinding in BC, just think about all the gold you will get from the quests you saved, because you will get money instead of the experience you were suppose to get for the quest.If you just do this to level 70 and then do the quests you are guarranted an epic flying mount.
——————————
Now for some final info for you guys who still havent farmed enough gold for your epic flying mount.
There are 2 really good grinding areas,
The first one is in Nagrand on the ogres, these drop alot of money, netherweave and also give rep!!!
And the other one (wich is in my opinion the best) are the water creatures around Terokkar Forest, these drop insainely amount of good loot.
/// Good luck with the questing and instancing in BC
Kind Regards

Badlands, Dustwallow and Swamp of Sorrows
Started at level 41
Finished at level 43
With the remainder of my Stranglethorn Vale quests being in the mid 40’s, I decided to jump around a few other zones to start with. Badlands was my first choice, and if you haven’t been here yet, prepare for a run. For Horde, we have to make our way to Taren Mill, run through to Arathi Highlands and then into Wetlands. From there, you head towards the underpass that leads through to Loch Modan, and from there to the Badlands, being sure to bypass Thelsemar of course.
When you enter Badlands for the first time, you might as well make the run to the west side of the zone and get the Kargath flight path. There are three spots you can obtain quests here; Kargath obviously, Lotwil Veriatus who is out in the open along the north wall, and Valley of Fangs, which is in the middle of the zone between two cliffs.
To make life easier, these are items you might want to get your hands on before heading to Badlands. Check the auction house, ask in trade channel, bug a friend…
1 x Frost Oil
1 x Gyrochronatom
1 x Patterned Bronze Bracers
1 x Healing Potion (Not greater, superior ect.. just straight ‘Healing Potion’)
1 x Lesser Invisibility Potion
4 x Buzzard Wings (You can collect these in Badlands, however I had left overs from my time in Descolace)
To start with, I made my way around collecting quests, and as I had the above on me, could hand in three straight away!
[40] Barbecued Buzzard Wings
Objectives : Collect 4 Buzzard Wings
Rewards : Recipe: Barbecued Buzzard Wing
[37] Liquid Stone
Objectives : Bring a Healing Potion and a Lesser Invisibility Potion to Lucien Tosselwrench
Rewards : Recipe: Lesser Stoneshield Potion
[42] Stone is better than cloth
Objectives : Bring some Patterned Bronze Bracers to Lucien Tosselwrench
Rewards : +4 Stamina, +8 Intellect Cloth Bracers
The above are straight hand in quests, if you managed to collect the items before heading to Badlands, just hand in
[37] Coolant Heads Prevail
Objectives : Bring a Frost Oil to Lotwil Veriatus
Rewards : XP!
[37] Gyro…what?
Objectives : Bring a Gyrochronatom to Lotwil Veriatus
Rewards : XP!
[45] This is going to be hard
Objectives : Defeat the Fam’retor Guardian
Rewards : Nifty Stopwatch - Use: Increases run speed by 40% for 10 seconds.
The above three are one after the other, hand in the Frost Oil to get Gyro… what? Then hand in the Gyrochronatom to get the following steps, ‘This is going to be hard’. You bounce back and forth between Lotwil and Lucian (just behind him) and eventually Lotwil will summon a Fam’retor Guard. The guard is level 45, but I had no problems at all taking him at 41.
After you defeat the guard, loot the item and hand in for the stop watch. Once I handed in those and ensuring I had collected all the other quests, I decided to knock off some Rock Elementals first…
[37] Study of the Elements : Rock
Objectives : Find 10 Small Stone Shards
Rewards : XP!
The Elementals for these are right near Lotwil, you are looking for the Lesser Elementals at this stage. I got my 10 Small Stone Shards fairly quickly and even 4 of the Rock Elemental Shards for another quest.
[39] Study of the Elements : Rock
Objectives : Collect 3 Large Stone Slabs
Rewards : XP!
The second stage to this requires you to kill the Rock Elementals which are a level or two higher and found further down. If you look on your map, you should be able to see an alcove not far from Kargath, that is where you will find them.
[42] Study of the Elements : Rock
Objectives : Collect 5 Bracers of Rock Binding
Rewards : XP!
Since I was in the rock killing mood, I decided to knock off the last step which is in the South West corner of the zone. Once you find the Ogre’s, look for the Ogre cave. If you are facing the cave, to the left will be an alcove and you will find the Greater Rock Elementals there. They will drop the Bracers, and although previously I have had a really hard time getting these, I got 5 out of 6 mobs this time around!
[39] Badlands Reagent Run
Objectives : Collect 5 Buzzard Gizzards, 10 Crag Coyote Fangs, and 5 Rock Elemental Shards
Rewards : XP!
[39] Coyote Thieves
Objectives : Collect 30 Coyote Jawbones
Rewards : XP!
Both of these are usually done while running around the zone, specially if you are on foot. Cheetah’s, Vultures and Coyote’s are all over the place, and the rock shards I got doing the Elementals quests. Very easy.
[39] Indurium Flakes
Objectives : Collect 10 Indurium Flakes
Rewards : XP!
[43] Broken Alliance
Objectives : Kill Boss Tho’grun
Rewards : XP!
After handing in the Elemental quests, I made my way South till I hit Agmond’s End and the Troggs that will drop the Indurium Flakes. The drop rate varies on these and I would sometimes get one each mob, then nothing for 10. While I was fighting there, Tho’grun and his pack walked past so I decided to give it a go. If you pull Tho’Grun carefully, he comes with only the little ogre at the back, and as I had my Succubus out, he was mezzed. Tho’grun posed no issues for me at all, and afterwards I took down his buddy. Very easy.
After collecting all the Indurium flakes, I killed a few more Coyote’s for the Jaws and was done… apart from Uldaman quests, that’s Badlands for you! (Later on you will get more quests from here for BRD etc…)
Since I still had a couple of quests for Dustwallow, I decided to head back and complete them.
[40] Marg Speaks
Objectives : Retrieve the Jeweled Pendant
Rewards : XP!
This is the one that followed speaking to the Cauldron in Stranglethorn Vale. Very easy to get to the mobs, from Brackenwall I ran straight East and into the bay area there. There’s almost a path that even leads through the cliff edge which made it easy. The drop rate for this can vary, I got it in about half an hour of the Muchshells there, the ones that look like large Lobsters.
(( After you hand in the Pendant you are sent to Orgrimmar, to see Zor Lonetree, she is located just inside Thrall’s Fortress. You also get to choose between two rings as a final reward! ))
[45] Deadmire
Objectives : Retrieve Deadmire’s Tooth
Rewards : XP!
I had this one sitting in my log for a while now from Thunder Bluff. When I found my pendant, I got out of the bay on the South West side as close to Tabetha’s hut as possible. Deadmire wanders the waters not far from Tabetha so I just killed around for a bit waiting for him to wander past. Level 45, non elite very large croc… easy.
[43] Identifying the Brood
Objectives : Collect 15 Searing Tongues and 15 Searing Hearts
Rewards : +2 Stamina, +9 Spirit Cloak or Leather Gloves
This quest can be a little tricky, you need to head over to the south side of the zone, where all the dragons play. If you hug the zone wall around, you will pass Bloodfen Burrow and the raptors around it. Keep killing around and eventually you will start to see some whelplings.
The whelps themselves are easy, some cast but they are non elite and go down fairly fast. The tricky part though, is you don’t want to get too close to the waters around there as they are populated by Elite Crocodiles. To make it even more fun, there is multiple sets of Elite Patrols that wander in and around where you are killing.
The Patrols are sets of two Dragonking that do large laps of the area. They walk, so easy to move out of the way from, and you keep your camera moving around (even when fighting) you should be able to spot them coming. The whelps seem to have a fairly slow respawn rate, and that’s probably the main reason it took so long. Drop rate was pretty average.
Before I went to finish of Stranglethorn Vale, I decided to stop past Swamp of Sorrows as they have a couple of quests.
[40] Lack of Surplus
Objectives : Collect 8 Unprepared Sawtooth Flanks
Rewards : XP!
The Crocs you need for the flanks are not far out from Stonard, are in fact pretty much all around the zone. Drop rate was pretty good and I killed my way East towards the water. To hand this quest in and get the next stage, you need to see the little camp along the beach cliffs, not far from the south end.
[42] Lack of Surplus
Objectives : Collect 6 Sawtooth Snapper Claws
Rewards : XP!
[44] Fresh Meat
Objectives : Collect 10 Monstrous Crawler Legs
Rewards : Sellable loot and food
The second stage of the surplus quest requires claws from the crocs in the water (ocean). There you will also find the crabs you need.
[43] Threat from the Sea
Objectives : Kill 10 Marsh Murlocs, 10 Inkspewer’s, and 10 Flesheater’s
Rewards : XP!
After you have handed in the Croc claws, you get this step which requires you to kill Murlocs, yay! The Murlocs are right near you, on the beach. If you have trouble finding the Flesheaters, kill a little further up towards the North end.
[45] Continued Threat
Objectives : Kill 10 Marsh Inkspewers, 10 Flesheaters, and 10 Oracles
Rewards : XP!
For this step I decided to head to the cave that is along the south wall, not far in from the beach. That’s the most common place you will find the Oracle’s, and inside is also filled with the other two mobs you need.
Once I had done those, that was pretty much it. There are a couple of quests over the other side of the zone if you wanted to take a look, but they are a little lower so I didn’t bother. Onto STV!
Stranglethorn Vale and Tanaris
Started at level 43
Finished at level 45
With the final quests for Stranglethorn in my log, I decided to kill off some Naga first.
[43] Akiris by the Bundle
Objectives : Collect 10 Stalks of Akiris Reed
Rewards : +9 Spirit Cloth Belt which increases damage done by Fire spells and effects by up to 13
[44] Mok’thardin’s Enchantments
Objectives : Kill 10 Naga Explorers and gather 1 Holy Spring Water
Rewards : +5 Intellect, +8 Spirit Neck item
The above two can be done with the same mobs which makes it nice and easy. From Booty Bay I exited and turned left into where the Bloodsail’s are, over the little wooden bridge there and around. You will eventually see the Naga’s along the water’s edge. If you kill around to the opposite side, you will see it start to lead up into the mountains, kill your way up.
There’s three level’s of Naga’s here, top, middle and along the beach. If you follow the top level in, you will eventually see it turn into an enclosed area with Naga, a suspended bridge and a water fountain on the opposite side. That is where you get the Spring Water from, but be careful not to ‘jump in’ to get it as you might have fun getting out. You can stand just in front of it to loot the water.
Once you have your water start fighting your way back out. You should easily have the kill count for Explorer’s, and the reed drops off all mobs. I headed back to Booty Bay to hand in the Reeds, and on my way back out, turned right instead of left.
[44] Voodoo Dues
Objectives : Retrieve Maury’s Clubbed Foot, Jon-Jon’s Golden Spyglass, and Chucky’s Huge Ring
Rewards : XP!
[44] Zanzil’s Secret
Objectives : Collect 12 samples of Zanzil’s Mixture
Rewards : Sellable loot
When you follow the path north out of Booty Bay you will come across a ‘Ruins of Jubuwal’ just off to the right, that is where you will find Jon-Jon the Crow and Maury ‘Club Foot’ Wilkins. If you fight in from the first entrance you come across, you will see Jon-Jon standing around the camp fire. Pick off the outside mobs till you can access him, personally I pulled out to the main path for safety.
Once you have killed Jon-Jon, keep clearing into the ruins inside the ruins, that’s where Maury will be hiding. The first pull out of that mini ruins inside is always a two-some as far as I can tell. The mobs aren’t that hard to take solo or even two at a time. Both named aren’t elite.
Once you have cleared those two, head out to the main path again. Just beside the ruins (booty bay side), there is a path that will lead you down to the Ruins of Aboraz, and Chucky ‘Then Thumbs’. There are Elder Shadowmaw Panthers between the main path and the ruins, but I rode past mounted and didn’t agro any.
Chucky is standing on the left part of the ruins facing the water. If you are facing the ruins standing on the beach, he’s on the far right and comes with an extra friend. All the mobs can drop the Zanzil Mixture and I had no troubles collecting all 12.
[43+] Raptor Mastery
Objectives : Kill Tethis
Rewards : Sellable loot
After completing the above, I decided to give Tethis a go and see if I could take him solo. The Zanzil actually dinged me level 44, so that put me one level above him. Tethis wanders behind the Gurabashi Arena in amongst all the other Raptors you would have killed for the previous step of Raptor Mastery. He’s a green / grey Raptor.
I actually had no troubles at all taking him down. I cleared an area and pulled him into it and kept him feared while I let my DoT’s and Succubus take him down. If you don’t feel confident trying him solo, check general chat, there is often people looking to take him down.
[46] Speaking with Gan’zulah
Objectives : Kill 8 Skullsplitter Hunters, 6 Headhunters, and 4 Berserkers. Retrieve the Broken Armor of Ana’thek
Rewards : XP!
This quest can be a bit tricky solo if you’re not paying attention as you need to enter the Ruins of Zul’Mamwe. The Hunter’s are easy to spot as they have a black panther pet with them, although don’t confuse them with the Beastmaster’s who also have the same pet. No matter which one you kill, always kill the owner first (leaving the pet) otherwise they can magically call another pet which means double killing.
The Beserkers and Headhunters were a little trickier to find for me, but there’s a part of the ruins that overlooks the main area which is where I got mine. If you locate the cave (right at the back) and face out from it, you should be able to see the risen section. Neither of these two were overly difficult.
Ana’thek the Cruel drops the broken armor and is the tough one. He wanders around the entire complex, and if you can’t locate him, you need to kill the mobs outside his cave to get him to spawn. I killed the two Beastmasters guarding the cave entrance to get him to spawn, of which he did inside the cave.
Ana’thek is level 45 and comes with two friends, a 41 and a 43 for me (one caster). It’s not that hard if you’re careful. I had my succubus out so mezzed the caster, feared the other and concentrated on Ana’thek who went down surprisingly easy. Then kill his friends and I was done. The most difficult part of the whole quest was keeping your eyes open as the Hunter’s all wander… all of them.
After you hand that into the cauldron at Grom’gol, if you speak to it again, it will give you the next step (talk to Kin’weelay) and eventually, the following step;
[45] The Singing Crystals
Objectives : Collect 3 Pulsing Blue Shards
Rewards : XP!
This next stage requires you to venture into Crystalvein Mine in the Southern part of STV. You enter the Mine just before the Ruins of Jubuwal, and you should see some Thrashtail Basalisks loitering around the path. When you enter, you will come into a large open area with Thrashtails, but you want to start clearing into the mine as you need the Ironjaw Basalisks for the crystals.
I had a pretty good drop rate with these and got my 3 out of about 10 mobs. Once I had them, I cleared my way back out and returned to Grom’gol to hand in. As the next step was deep in Mosh’Ogg, and elite, I decided that was enough Stranglethorn Vale for me…. forever!
After the green of Stranglethorn Vale, I headed for a more desert like environment, Tanaris! Before you head there though, stop past The Undercity and head down to the Apothecarium. You want to find Apothecary Zinge who is down where they do all the testing, where the ogre’s hang from the ceiling.
Zinge will give you a purchase order that you take to Alessandro Luca out in the main part of the Apothecarium, and once filled, return to Zinge. After you see Zinge again, you are directed to Tanaris. The rest of Tanaris quests come from Gadgetzan and Steamweedle Port. Be sure you purchase the Field Testing Kit from Luca before leaving!
[48] Gahz’ridian
Objectives : Collect 30 Gahz’ridian Ornaments
Rewards : 92 - 139 Dge, +5 Intellect, +18 Spirit Staff or Leather Chest
Don’t mind the level of this quest. I usually get this quest first when I enter Tanaris as the Gahz’ridian Ornaments are all over the zone so I can collect them while doing other quests. You need to find a goblin located at the Broken Pillar which is directly south of Gadgetzan. You are looking for little lootable sand piles, and you can either keep your eye open for them, or put on the helmet that Marvon gives you which will show them on your mini map.
[43] Wastewater Justice
Objectives : Kill 10 Wastewander Bandits and 10 Thieves
Rewards : XP!
[44] Water Pouch Bounty
Objectives : Collect 5 Wastewander Water Pouches
Rewards : Gadgetzan Water Co. Care Package
[46] Slake that Thirst
Objectives : Collect 5 Wastewander Water Pouches
Rewards : Model 4711-FTZ Power Source
If you head west out of Gadgetzan along the north wall, you will come across the Noonshade Ruins, and that is where you will find the Wastewander Bandits and Thieves. These mobs will also drop some Wastewander Water Pouches that you need for the quest line from the Undercity, as well as a quest given at Gadgetzan. Hold onto any remaining pouches as you can continue handing them into Luglunket in lots of 5 for goodies.
[46] Tanaris Field Sampling
Objectives : Acquire acceptable samples for 8 basilisks, 8 hyenas, and 8 scorpions
Rewards : +10 Intellect, +6 Stamina, +6 Agility Cloth Gloves, +1 Intellect, 10 Spirit Cloth Cape or Leather Shoulders upon final hand in at Undercity.
You get this quest when you right click the Model 4711-FTZ Power Source, but be prepared as it’s a timed quest of which you have two hours. Make sure you have your Field Testing Kit from Luca in your bags and set out in search of Basilisks, Hyenas and Scorpions.
Every kill will drop an Untested Sample, and you right click the sample to turn it into an acceptable one. Not every one will convert to an acceptable sample so be aware of that if it just poofs. I took a little over 1 hour to get all 24 samples. Return to Gadgetzan when complete.
[44] More Wastewater Justice
Objectives : Take down 10 Wastewander Shadow Mages, 8 Rogues, and 6 Assassins
Rewards : XP!
[46] Wanted: Caliph Scorpidsting
Objectives : Retrieve Caliph Scorpidsting’s head!
Rewards : XP!
For the next lot of Wastewater, you need to head across from where you were to Waterspring Field. You will see lots of water pumps scattered around, some of which have the mobs from the above quest if you Noonshade was camped. The Shadow Mages are pretty easy to locate, given away by their big blue Voidwalker pets. The Rogue’s stealth naturally but the Assassins don’t and are usually found further south.
While you are down that end, keep your eye open for Caliph wandering around. Although he walks in full view, be aware he does come with two stealthing friends. I had no trouble taking him down, but as I had recently cleared when he walked past, I had the luxury of fearing his comrades. (Quest comes from the Wanted posted at Steemweedle Port)
[45] Pirate Hats Ahoy
Objectives : Collect 20 Southsea Pirate Hats
Rewards : XP
[45] Southsea Shakedown
Objectives : Kill 10 Southsea Pirates, 10 Freebooters, 10 Dock Workers and 10 Swashbucklers.
Rewards : +11 Intellect Cloth Boots with Increase damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 8.
[45] Wanted: Andre Firebeard
Objectives : Retrieve Andre Firebeard’s head!
Rewards : XP
[45] Stoley’s Shipment
Objectives : Retrieve Stoley’s Shipment
Rewards : XP
All of the above quests can be done inside Lost Rigger Cove. When you enter you will see the Southsea Pirate’s and Freebooters at the tents there. I killed my through those to the area behind the wooden fence, which is where you will find Andre Firebeard. He comes with friends but is doable if you are careful.
If you head into the building just near Andre (first one on your right after you enter the complex) and clear to the top, you should see lots of boxes sitting up there, that will give you Stoley’s Shipement. Be warned though that you get up to three mobs at once and it can be a little difficult.
After I completed those two, I made my way over to the docks where I found the Swashbucklers, and just near there around the boat being built, is the Dock Workers. All of the mobs will drop the pirate hats, but they didn’t seem too common for me until after I finished killing the mobs for the shakedown quest. After I got all the kills, the hats started dropping off nearly every mob. Not sure if that was just a fluke though…
While you are in there, you may have Southsea Footlockers drop, these can give you map parts (Lower, Middle and Upper). If you get all three parts, combine them to give you Cuergo’s Treasure Map, this will give you the quest; Cuergo’s Gold. I didn’t do this quest.
[46] Gadgetzan Water Survey
Objectives : Use the untapped dowsing widget to collected a water sample
Rewards : XP!
Heading west out of Gadgetzan, you will come into an area called Sandsorrow Watch that has a few elite trolls wandering around. Near one of the water towers there will be a pool of water, that’s where you get your sample from. You can easily avoid the elites by going around, but just watch you don’t get too close once at the pool.
When you are at the water’s edge, right click the dowsing widget to start collecting the sample. When you have gathered the water, two level 48 bugs will spawn and start attacking you. You can stay or fight, or just run, there is no need to kill them. I ran, I’m lazy.
Feralas and Hinterlands
Started at level 45
Finished at level 48
Since you can’t fly to Thousand Needles from Tanaris, I decided it was just as easy to run as it was to go from Tanaris to Crossroads to Thousand Needles. Feralas is basically at the opposite end of Thousand Needles to Shimmering Flats, just run straight across.
When you enter, follow the path and you will come across Camp Mojache.
[44] Screecher Spirits
Objectives : Capture the spirits of 3 screechers
Rewards : XP!
The quest log says ‘Southern and Central’ feralas, but it’s basically west. If you follow the path west out of Camp Mojache you will pass an Ogre area and there’s a drop down into the area behind it you can find some. Alternatively, you could follow the path straight to the waters edge where you will find lots, which is what I did.
Out of Camp Mojache head west, follow it around until you come almost parallel with the water, after a bridge there will be a path straight on your left that leads down. The screechers are closer to the cliffs than the water, and keep your eye out for some elite mobs (avoidable). Kill the Screechers and then right click the Bramble to summon their spirit. Right click their spirit to gather the spirit. Wash, rinse, repeat.
[45] A New Cloaks Sheen
Objectives : Collect 10 Iridescent Sprite Darter Wings
Rewards : XP!
Heading back from the Screechers, I passed an area just before I reached Camp Mojache that had a lot of Sprite Darters there so thought I would complete this quest. Heading into Camp Mojache, they are on your left, not that hard to miss.
I had a really good drop rate with the wings, only three mobs didn’t drop them, and a couple even dropped two for me.
[42] War on the Woodpaw
Objectives : Collect 10 Woodpaw Gnoll Manes
Rewards : XP!
Right across the road from the Sprite’s you will find Woodpaw Hills, and the mobs that drop the tails you need. There are enough mobs wandering around alone that you don’t even need to worry about the camps, and again, I had a pretty good drop rate.
[43] The Ogres of Feralas
Objectives : Kill 10 Gordunni Ogres, 10 Ogre-Magi, and 5 Brutes
Rewards : XP!
[43] Gordunni Cobalt
Objectives : Gather 12 samples of Gordunni Cobalt
Rewards : +9 Intellect, +6 Spirit, +4 Agility Cloth Boots or +10 Spirit Cloth Cloak
After I had gathered my Sprite wings and Woodpaw tails, I made my way into Camp Mojache and right through to the other side. Just after you exit on the east side, turn left into the open area there and run up along the river. At the top you should see a path leading up into the cliffs. Follow it up and you should start seeing some Gordunni Ogre’s.
All three types will be in there waiting for you to kill them, and while you are there look for little blue glowing bits on the ground, usually in clusters. When you are close to them, if you right click the shovel in your inventory, they will spawn dirt mounds. If you right click those dirt mounds, you get your cobalt. From everything I could tell, the dirt mounds that glow means there is cobalt inside, and those that don’t glow have crappy loot for you to sell.
If you fight your way through the first set of ogre’s to the back, you will find lots of the blue glowy things. Once I had completed those two, I head back to Camp Mojache to hand in.
[43] Alpha Strike
Objectives : Kill 5 Woodpaw Alphas within one hour
Rewards : XP
After you hand in War on the Woodpaw, you are given a second step, and it’s timed so be ready. You need to kill 5 Woodpaw Alpha’s within the 1 hour given to you. The Alpha’s are at the same place as before, Woodpaw Hills, but they are a little further in. If you check the camps, you can usually find one Alpha at each, and they can be single pulled out. Once you are done, go hand in.
[42] The Battle Plan
Objectives : Retrieve the Woodpaw Battle Plans
Rewards : Sellable loot…
The next step for Woodpaw Hills is to locate the battle plan. It can spawn at a couple of camps, but if you use your eye of kilrogg you can save yourself some time killing. Once you have located it, fight your way in and right click it.
[45] A Grim Discovery
Objectives : Collect 20 Grimtotem Horns
Rewards : XP!
Before I handed in the battle plan, I jumped across the road to where the Darter Sprites were, only this time I was eyeing off the Grimtotem’s. They were extremely easy to take down and dropped the horns nearly every kill, some kills dropping multiple’s.
[44] The Ogres of Feralas
Objectives : Kill 10 Gordunni Shaman, 10 Warlocks, and 5 Maulers
Rewards : XP!
After leading the Grimtotem’s, I continued west till I came to the Ruins of Isildiend, and the ogre’s. There is a small group of them just in from the road, but if you continue south through there, you will come into a larger compound which is where I found the Shaman’s and Warlock’s to be most.
[46] The Mark of Quality
Objectives : Gather 10 Thick Yeti Hides
Rewards : Sellable loot…
For this you need to head to Feral Scare Vale, and you can actually head north from the ruins as there’s no mountain in the way. The Yeti’s can drop the hide’s, or if you have skinning you can get them that way too. Pretty easy to get. Once I had my hides I headed back to Camp Mojache to hand in.
[45] Zukk’ash Infestation
Objectives : Collect 20 Zukk’ash Carapaces
Rewards : XP!
[47] Stinglasher
Objectives : Defeat Stinglasher and its glands
Rewards : XP!
For these quests, you need to head in and past Woodpaw Hills until you come across The Writhing Deep behind it. You are looking for big like mobs. When you start killing, you will notice an entrance where it goes underground, if you continue on a bit further, you will find a second more winding entrance. It’s this second entrance that I found Stinglasher coming up to the surface from.
All the different mobs drop the carapace’s, and every kill yielded me a drop. The non flying mobs will run when low on health and can move quite fast, the flying ones did not seem to run at all.
After I handed those two in I made my way to Orgrimmar to hand in the final steps.
Since the quest I had left for Feralas were starting to raise in level, I thought I would pop over to The Hinterlands and see what they had to offer. If you’ve never been here before it’s quite simple. Take a boat from Orgrimmar to Undercity and fly to Taren Mill. If you look at your map of Hillsbrad, you should see in the mountains behind Durnhold Keep there is a blurry bit, that’s a path that leads through to Hinterlands for you. There will be two Alliance Griffons flying around the start of the path, but they are easily avoidable if you don’t feel like killing them.
Once you find the path, follow it through to Hinterlands, but don’t stay on the path. It actually leads into Aerie Peak which is the Alliance outpost there. You want to jump off the path and basically run straight east to the waters edge. About half way down the map you will a second path start to appear and you are safe to run along that one, it will actually lead you almost to where you want to go anyway. If you are on it, when you are coming to the end and starting to see Jintha’alor (can’t miss it, huge Troll palace) you want to start veering off towards the cliffs. There will be a path leading down to turtles, and if you turn right at the bottom, you should start seeing Raventusk Village.
[47] Lines of Communication
Objectives : Burn the Highvale Records, Report, and Notes.
Rewards : XP!
* Please note Lines of Communication comes from Oran Snakewrithe in The Mage quarter in The Undercity
[48] Message to the Wildhammer
Objectives : Kill 15 Highvale Outrunners, 15 Scouts, 15 Marksman and 15 Rangers
Rewards : XP!
[47] Rin’ji is Trapped
Objectives : Escort Rin’ji out of the Quel’Danil Lodge, then find his hidden secret
Rewards : (after running around) 61 Armor, +10 Stamina, +10 Intellect, Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 13 Cloth Chest or Leather Hat
* Comes from Rin’ji inside the lodge…
Quel’Danil Lodge is located almost up near the West wall. I recommend running and doing these first as the later step to ‘Message to the Wildhammer’ involves Griffons you will pass alter anyway. The Lodge is surrounded by the Highvale mobs you need to kill, and they are also between level’s 44 through to about 47, piece of cake!
To start with, if you are facing the main building, start killing to your left and down the side to the lake behind. As you are clearing down, keep your eyes out for a lamp post that is outside, but close to the side wall of the building, the Highvale Notes will be lying on the ground near that. Continuing down to the arch like structure beside the water there, that is where you will find the Highvale Reports which you can burn by right clicking.
Once you have those two, head back out to the front and start clearing into the main building there. Once you are inside, turn to your right and against the back wall there, near the barrels, will be the Highvale Records, the third and final piece you need.
I continued clearing all the mobs inside as I was short on a few kill counts, and since I was feeling tough, decided to escort Rin’ji out. An easy escort, you leave the main building and just outside are jumped by a three mobs. Once those are killed, Rin’ji continues off the path a little where you will encounter another set of three. After those are slain, you follow Rin’ji to the path where he says he’ll be fine. If you have been clearing mobs anyway for the kill count, this is a simple escort.
Once you have finished those three, make your way back to Raventusk Village, but before heading straight in, swim out into the water and look for a tiny island with a stone arch on it. Under the arch is a tablet and that is ‘Rin’ji’s Secret’ he was talking about. Right click on the tablet.
[48] Another Message to the Wildhammer
Objectives : Collect 10 Long Elegant Feathers
Rewards : XP!
These drop off any Griffon in the zone so keep your eyes out, especially as the drop rate can be pretty bad at times. I did find a whole bunch of Griffons right up on the west side near Aerie Peak if you need them. Also, I should note that both steps of ‘Message to the Wildhammer’ state they are PvP quests, however it’s only the final step, the one I chose not to do, that will PvP flag you. Both steps I have listed will not endanger you to any trigger happy Alliance.
[48] Stalking the Stalkers
Objectives : Kill 15 Silvermane Stalkers and 15 Howlers
Rewards : XP!
You will probably do this quest over time as the two different Silvermane are in separate area’s. The Silvermane Stalkers will most likely be the first one you complete as they are the stealing wolves at the top of the cliffs near the path to Raventusk. Just keep your eye out while running around for them unstealthing while you are doing other quests.
The Howlers are a little higher up, more in the middle of the zone and don’t stealth. Again, just keep your eye open while running around.
[48] Vilebranch Hooligans
Objectives : Locate Smith Slagtree’s lost tools
Rewards : XP!
Locating these tools can be fun (no not that kind) as they are a random spawn at multiple places, and if someone picks it up in one spot they could repop in a place you have already checked. Luckily the mobs at majority of the spawn places are ones you need to kill anyway. I have marked them out of the map below where you might find them:
A - Be sure you are looking at the camp that has the Trolls at it, not the semi empty one with a couple of wolves. It’s bordered by wooden pickets and will spawn inside the ring if anywhere. Be careful entering as you can’t single pull the two (most likely Soothsayers) inside.
B - Another Vilebranch camp much like the first one. Again, the tools will spawn inside the ring if anywhere, and again, you will get two.
C - This is actually Skull Rock, home to slime… or snot as my daughter likes to call it. The tools can spawn on top of the little hill there and this is what will usually cause most to complain the bucket doesn’t exist. You don’t need to enter the cave, if it’s here it will be on top of the hill there, kill the slimes to access.
D - Lastly, if you have checked everywhere else, have a look here. It’s another Vilebranch camp much like the first two and once again, the tools will be inside if anywhere.
When look for the tools, you are looking for a small whitish lootable bucket. It will most likely stand out as soon as you see it, you’ll be all ‘aaah that’s what it looks like’. When you look inside the Vilebranch camps (even with your eye of Kilrogg if you don’t want to kill), do a complete loop from entrance, around and back to the entrance, it spawns usually against the wooden picket boundary. Soothsayers heal btw… grrr.
[48] Cannibalistic Cousins
Objectives : Kill 30 Vilebranch Scalpers and 15 Soothsayers
Rewards : XP!
While trying to locate your tools, you will most likely complete your kill count for both lots of Vilebranches as they tend to be guarding the spots you are searching. If you find your tools before completing the kill count, you can either just keep bouncing back and forth between the camps, or you can head to the Alter of Zul as there are more there, particularly the Soothsayers.
[47] Testing the Vessel
Objectives : Kill and capture the spirits of 10 Wildkin
Rewards : XP!
[48] Hunt the Savages
Objectives : Kill 20 Savage Owlbeasts
Rewards : XP!
Testing the Vessel comes from Feralas, so if you didn’t hold onto it from before, be sure to go grab it. You can use the Muisek Vessel on any form of Owlbeast, however only the Savages will give you the kill count for the second quest. Found around the middle and east parts of the zone, I ended up getting these while running around looking for wolves and the tools. Just a small note to be sure to capture the spirit after you loot the corpse… because it disappears.
[48] Avenging the Fallen
Objectives : Kill a Razorbeak Skylord and retrieve its Skylord Plume
Rewards : XP!
This quest is relatively easy, just relies on locating a Razorbeak Skylord, of which I found one completely randomly while locating the Silvermane Howlers. They can be found mostly around the west and middle parts of the zone and are basically big Griffons. My plume dropped on the first one I killed.
I actually did all those in some form of weird loop, I just put the info under each otherwise you would have been reading for ever. Basically head up the path and look for the Silvermane Stalkers while heading towards spot A in search of the tools. Continue killing any Stalkers you pass while running to spot B and C. Somewhere around there you should start seeing your Owlbeasts and the occasional Howler, if you haven’t found your tools continue onto part D.
After that I went over the other side of the path for more Soothsayers and Howlers before heading back down the path to hand in, killing any Owlbeasts I saw along the way to complete the kill count for that. Once you have all the kill counts, head back to Revantusk Village to hand in!
Troll Tribal Necklaces : You will probably end up collecting a nice little stash of these, but sadly they are only used by Alliance, so we sell.
[48+] Gammerita, Mon
Objectives : Kill Gammerita
Rewards : XP!
[50] Snapjaws, Mon
Objectives : Kill 15 Saltwater Snapjaw turtles
Rewards : Nat Pagle’s Extreme Angler FC-5000! A Fishing Pole Woot!
The Snapjaws you need are all along the coast and you should have seen them when heading too and from Raventusk Village. All the turtles are yellow con so won’t jump you (little fact : they used to be red conned, made getting the bottles so hard!), so just run around killing the 15 you need.
Gammerita, while being elite, is a fairly easy elite to solo if you are familiar with fear. All the turtles will be a little tougher than other mobs as they have a higher armor rating, but because they are such slow movers, fearing them isn’t really an issue.
[49] Lard Lost his Lunch
Objectives : Find Lard’s Lunch
Rewards : Lard’s Special Picnic Basket (Different rewards inside each time)
This one is doable on your own, but be prepared. Run to the opposite end of the ‘beach’ there till you can see the water fall. Just out from there is an island and on that island you will find Lard’s Picnic Basket. If you right click on the basket, three trolls will spawn and attack you. If you have your Succubus out on this quest it helps to seduce. You can also use your fears quite easily as the mobs won’t run off the island, and there’s nothing else there for them to agro.
You also only need to really kill one mob as the first one you kill will drop Lard’s Lunch, you could loot and run if you want. I managed to get all three down with some nifty fearing, although it was a close call at one point. It’s up to you if you want to seek out help for this one…
Feralas and Tanaris
Started at level 48
Finished at level 50
Since I had the Muisek quest left over from the Hinterlands, I decided to return to Feralas and hand in. While I was there, I knocked off the last remaining quests I had.
[48] Fuel for the Zapping
Objectives : Collect 10 Water Elemental Cores
Rewards : Sellable Loot
[48] Zapped Giants
Objectives : Gather 15 Miniaturization Residues
Rewards : +5 Stamina, +6 Agility One-Hand Sword
To start with I made my way down to the water’s edge, where the Screechers are. Along the water there is a Docks (which you don’t want as it leads to the Alliance Island) and a Goblin called Zorbin Fandazzle. He will give you the above two quests, both of which can be done running up and down the coast.
For the Water Elemental Cores, they can drop off both the Sea Sprays and the Sea Elementals. The ’sprays’ are casters of sort, they have no mana pool but will repeatedly hit you with Frostbolt. They also stand where you pull them from, so be wary of any giants wandering close by. The ‘elementals’ are melee and come to you.
For the Zapped Giants, you want to use Zorbin’s Ultra-Shrinker as you pull them, this shrinks them down from elites to non-elites, thus making them much much easier to kill. The Zapper only lasts two hours, but if you do find you have to camp, or take too long, you can just abandon the quest and retake it to get another zapper, you won’t loose any residue.
You will only need to kill 15 giants as they drop a residue each time, the Water Elementals however don’t like to play as fair. You will need to kill a few of these to get all 10 Cores. If you get the cores before the residue, chuck up enduring breath and head down into the water, lots of giants wander the ocean floor. When you hand these in, you get the option to do it all again if you want, only you won’t get any XP the second time around.
[48] Improved Quality
Objectives : Collect 10 Rage Scar Yeti Hides
Rewards : Sellable loot
[48] Perfect Yeti Hide
Objectives : Return the Perfect Yeti Hide to Jangdor Swiftstrider at Camp Mojache
Rewards : XP!
From the coast I ran back up to the main path and headed North. As you enter ‘The Twin Colossals’ you will see the path curves a bit, stay straight which will take you off the path. You kill through a couple of Gorilla’s and Bears, but if you stick along the cliff wall, not far in you should see a path leading up into the cliffs, meaty rib cages sitting either side.
If you go up that path you will enter Rage Scar Hold and find the Yeti’s you need. As with the Yeti’s at Feral Scar Hold, the hides come both via dropping and skinning if you have it. Fairly good drop rate too. While you are killing them, you should have a ‘Perfect Yeti Hide’ drop, this will start the quest to return it to Jangdor Swiftstrider at Camp Mojache. In the time I was there I had three drop…
Once you are done, head back out to the main path and continue north. If you have some time to spare, keep your eyes open for Marli Wishrunner, she is a night elf but will talk to you. If you are running north she will be on your left, at the end of a very short path and you can see her from the main path. If you talk to her she… well… it’s fun.
There will be another NPC, Kalim, at the top who can… assist you with the next step (not spoiling this one!) but I will say this… aim for the water pool.
[50] Vengeance on the Northspring
Objectives : Kill 4 Northspring Harpies, 4 Roguefeathers, 4 Windcallers, and 4 Slayers.
Rewards : XP!
[50+] Dark Heart
Objectives : Retrieve Edana Hatetalon’s Dark Heart
Rewards : +11 Stamina, +10 Intellect Cloth Gloves
At the very North end of the zone is Ruins of Ravenwind, and the Harpies that populate it. After you pass the second colossal, on your left you should be able to see some white ruins, that is where you need to be. The different Harpies are all around and I got all my kills from just picking off the ones around the edge.
If you manage to get the Horn of Hatetalon that can drop off any of the Harpies (I got mine on the third or fourth kill), and you want to tackle Edana, you need to head to the very north part of the ruins. You can access the part you need quite easily from the outside without having to fight too much into the center. You are looking for some large stones near each other, with a path of sorts that leads to them. There will be two little lamps on the ground which is what I look for.
If you can’t find them easily enough, just keep right clicking your horn till eventually it works, easiest way. When you right click the horn, you summon Edana, a level 50 elite harpy. If you can keep her feared she is quite easy, but her nukes hurt. I killed her at level 49 with little trouble although she did kill my Succubus in a couple of nukes, but I’m getting pretty good at the single elites now /flex
Once I was done, I headed back to Camp Mojache to hand in quests and clear the bags out…
[47] Hippogryph Muisek
Objectives : Kill 10 Frayfeather hippogryphs and capture them with the vessel
Rewards : XP!
[50] Natural Materials
Objectives : Gather 2 Splintered Logs, 6 Encrusted Minerals, 20 pieces of Resilient Sinew, and 40 Metallic Fragments
Rewards : XP!
These two quests can be done together as the Resilient Sinew you need for the second one, drops off of the Hippgryphs you need to kill for the first one. From Camp Mojache you want to make your way to The High Wilderness, specifically, behind the Ruins of Isildien (ogres). Right up the back there along the cliff walls you will find loads of Frayfeather hippogryphs. Just like in The Hinterlands with the previous Muisek step, you use the vessel after they are dead and looted.
While you are there, keep your eyes open for a ‘Cursed Sycamore’ tree. You want to kill him because roughly a minute after you do, a ‘Wandering Forest Walker’ will spawn and when you kill him, a Splintered Log will drop. As you need two of these logs, you will need to do that process twice, and they wander all around where the hippogryphs are.
Once you have collected the Splintered Logs and Resilient Sinew, make your way back to Camp Mojache to hand in Hippogryph Muisek. Don’t worry too much about the Metallic Fragments for now as you will get the rest of those after the next quest.
[45] Faerie Dragon Muisek
Objectives : Kill 8 Sprite Darters or Sprite Dragons and capture them with the vessel
Rewards : XP!
These are the same Faerie Dragons that you would have killed last time you were in Feralas, they are just out from Camp Mojache, in front of the Grimtotem Camp. They will drop the Minerals you need for Natural Materials, and after you have looted, you can capture their spirits, easy! Once you have completed this quest and got your 6 Minerals, hand in at Camp Mojache and get the next step.
[50] Treant Muisek
Objectives : Kill 3 Wandering Forest Walkers and capture them with the vessel
Rewards : XP!
These are the same Treants that dropped the Splintered Logs, back up where the Hippogryph’s are. This is why you don’t need to worry about the Metallic Fragments the first trip up there, you will be clearing more hippogryph’s to get the treant’s to spawn and will complete collecting them now.
Just as before, you are looking for Cursed Sycamore treants to kill in order for the Wandering Forest Walker’s to spawn. It’s the second treant that you use the Vessel on. Once you have collected the three Muisek’s, and managed to collect all 40 fragments, head back to Camp Mojache to hand in.
[50+] Mountain Giant Muisek
Objectives : Kill 7 Land Walkers or Cliff Giants and capture them with the vessel
Rewards : XP!
Although this quest is elite, I’ll let you in on a little trick… go and see Zorbin Fandazzle, the goblin that is on the beach near the docks. He’s the goblin that gave you the zapper quest, where you could turn the elite giants into non elites with one quick zap. The zapper, also works on the giants you need for this quest, which makes it basically, a non elite quest.
When you get to Zorbin, take the quest, ‘Again with the Zapped Giants’ and that will give you another zapper. Head back up to the main path, and just after you pass through the twin colossal’s, head off the path to where the Giants are located. They are rock giants, very easy to spot. Use the zapper to pull, kill and then use the vessel, bingo an elite quest made easy!
After you hand in the final step, another quest ‘Weapons of Spirit’ becomes available and is one of those ‘wait around while I do something’ quests. After the Witch Doctor fiddles around, you are given the option of 4 weapons… well really one because you can’t use the other three:
Strength of the Treant
Binds when picked up
Two-Hand Staff
115 - 173 Damage Speed 3.70
(38.9 damage per second)
+7 Stamina
+18 Intellect
Not a bad staff if you are concentrating on your Int. Also the 4500 or so XP for just waiting around a couple of seconds can’t be scoffed at! With that I was done with Feralas for now, time to clear up the remaining Tanaris quests…
Optional Quest:
[45] Find OOX-22/FE!
Objectives : Take the distress beacon to Oglethorpe’s homing robot in a cave near Feral Scar Vale.
Rewards : XP!
While you are running around in Feralas, you may be fortunate enough to have a ‘OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon’ drop. It can drop from any mob anywhere in the zone and if you are in a group, each group member will be able to pick it up. The OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon begins a quest in which you need to first locate, then escort a homing robot that has crashed.
The homing robot, or chicken as most people will know it as, is inside Feral Scar Cave, more specifically, it is in the open area between the first little tunnel part and the actual cave itself. Depending on your level you may or may not want to attempt this solo. It’s a level 45 quest, however you have three waves of mobs that will attack both you and the chicken, mobs you don’t want to have to face too early.
The first wave comes at out not far out from the cave, the chicken will send off a warning and three yeti’s will appear in the distance before charging you, usually picking up a bear or two along the way. The chicken will help you fight, however you don’t want it to die or you have to start all over again.
The second wave will be on the main path and it will be three gorilla’s. Again the chicken will send off a warning and they will appear and charge. Thankfully this time, they don’t pick up any adds on the way. The third wave will be just after the bridge not far from the docks, it will be four mobs this time, only they are lower than the previous two waves and very easy to dispatch with.
After that the chicken says something about being able to see the docks and that he will be ok for now. Congratulations, you have just escorted your first homing beacon home. To hand in you need to see Oglethorpe Obnoticu in Booty Bay. There are two more homing beacons, one in Tanaris and a third in the Hinterlands. After you do all three you are given a mechanical chicken of your very own, woot.
With Feralas finished up, I decided to head over to Tanaris to knock off the last few quests I had for there (ignoring all the ZF ones).
[47] Noxious Lair Investigation
Objectives : Collect five Centipaar insect parts
Rewards : XP!
If you head south-west out of Gadgetzan you will find The Noxious Lair and the bugs that will drop the insect parts. There are multiple types of bugs here and all will drop the parts, however you might want to try to pick the non-swammers. The wasps and tunnelers are easy normal kills, but the swammers have little friends that can make your life difficult. They usually come with one or two of them, and summon more during the fight. Although they die in one or two hits, they can make non instant cast spells a real pain to cast.
Drop rate is fairly good with these and you can pick off the mobs from the edge without having to risk fighting in too deep.
[49] The Dunemaul Compound
Objectives : Kill 10 Dunemaul Brutes, 10 Dunemaul Enforcers, and Gor’marok the Ravager.
Rewards : XP!
If you cut inland, you will come across the Dunemaul Compound and the ogre’s you need. The Brutes and Enforcers are all around mixed in with normal ogre’s, mage’s and warlock’s. Off to the side of the compound will be a cave, and inside the cave you will find Gor’marok, a level 49 Ogre. He is non-elite and relatively easy to kill, the hardest part is killing to him. He comes solo.
[49] The Thirsty Goblin
Objectives : Collect a Laden Dew Gland
Rewards : XP!
[50] Thistleshrub Valley
Objectives : Kill 8 Gnarled Thistleshrubs and 8 Rootshapers
Rewards : XP!
Both of these are done in the same area; Thistleshrub Valley. It’s at the very south-west part of the zone and is easily recognized by the cacti, the only cacti in the zone. You are after the elementals there, Gnarled and Rootshapers for the kill count and Dew Collector’s for the gland.
Any Dew Collector can drop the gland, and they can also drop empty and other kinds of glands just to make it frustrating. Be sure to check you have the ‘Laden Dew Gland’ before leaving. You will usually spend longer here trying to get the gland than you will killing. While you are in there, keep your eye out for Tooga, a turtle that would like an escort home.
[49] Sprinkle’s Secret Ingredient
Objectives : Collect a Violet Tragan
Rewards : XP!
This step requires you to collect a herb / flower from The Hinterlands. You need to head to Valorwind Lake (only lake there really) and they are in the water, look like mushrooms. Return and hand in the Tragan will get put you on the step to complete the series and get some fun Noggenfogger Elixir
Optional Quest:
[48] Find OOX-17/TN!
Objectives : Take the distress beacon to Oglethorpe’s homing robot at the Gaping Chasm
Rewards : XP!
While you are running around in Feralas, you may be fortunate enough to have a ‘OOX-17/TN Distress Beacon’ drop. It can drop from any mob anywhere in the zone and if you are in a group, each group member will be able to pick it up. The OOX-17/TN Distress Beacon begins a quest in which you need to first locate, then escort a homing robot that has crashed.
The chicken for this beacon is located in the hills behind The Gaping Chasm. This escort is a little harder than the Feralas one as you will be running through open terrain, not along a path. When you are coming across general mobs, do not engage first, allow the chicken to be attacked so that he engages the mob. If you engage first, you have a chance that the chicken will not notice and continue running along, and if you get too far from it, you will fail.
Like before, this escort has three waves, the first not far from the Chasm will be Scorpids, probably your hardest of the three waves. Further along it will be crocs, and then up near the water it will be pirates. Once again, when you reach the docks the Chicken says he will be fine and you can hand in at Booty Bay.
Blasted Lands and Searing Gorge
Started at level 50
Finished at level 51
Getting to Blasted Lands is very easy, just head to Stonard in Swamp of Sorrows. From there you just north about 10 feet and you should see a path lead off to your left, that is Blasted Lands. As you cross zones you should see an Orc; Fallen Hero of the Horde. It is up to you if you want to start his quest line now or later, but it does jump up in level’s fairly quickly.
To start with you listen to his story before running to see Dispatch Commander Ruag in Stonard. After you have seen Ruag, you will find Bengor face first on a rug in the building next to Ruag. After that you have to find a named Murloc, but for now I headed into Blasted Lands.
As you enter, you should see two Blood Elves not far in, off to the right of the path, they will give you the quests.
[50] Snickerfang Jowls
Objectives : Collect 3 Snickerfang Jowls, 2 Blasted Boar Lungs, and 1 Scorpok Pincer
Rewards : R.O.I.D.S. - Increases Strength by 50 when consumed. Effect lasts for 60 minutes.
[50] A Boar’s Vitality
Objectives : Collect 3 Blasted Boar Lungs, 2 Scorpok Pincers, and 1 Basilisk Brain
Rewards : Lung Juice Cocktail - Increases Stamina by 50 when consumed. Effect lasts for 60 minutes.
[50] The Decisive Striker
Objectives : Collect 3 Scorpok Pincers, 2 Vulture Gizzards, and 1 Blasted Boar Lung
Rewards : Ground Scorpok Assay - Increases Agility by 50 when consumed. Effect lasts for 60 minutes.
[50] The Basilisk’s Bite
Objectives : Collect 10 Basilisk Brains and 2 Vulture Gizzards
Rewards : Cerebral Cortex Compound - Increases Intellect by 50 when consumed. Effect lasts for 60 minutes.
[50] Vulture’s Vigor
Objectives : Collect 10 Vulture Gizzards and 2 Snickerfang Jowls
Rewards : Gizzard Gum - Increases Spirit by 50 when consumed. Effect lasts for 60 minutes.
All of these can be done together because, as you can see, it’s the same five mobs you will be killing for all. To make it easier for you, these are the following totals you will need to complete all five quests:
5 Snickerfang Jowls
6 Scorpok Pincers
6 Blasted Boar Lungs
11 Basilisk Brains
14 Vulture Gizzards
The only thing that will stop you doing all these in one hit is bag space, they all drop meat, eggs, feathers… arg the never ending ‘Full Inventory’ spam. Course if you are a skinner, it only gets worse as you can skin everything bar the Vulture’s.
The area near the quest givers will be the best place to find the Snickerfang’s as well as a few Scorpids. However if you run around and follow the path a little, you will find all the Boars and Basilisks you need. Vulture’s seem to just be everywhere.
Be aware when fighting the Boars that they have a Fire Shield, hits in the 30’s roughly and will interrupt any channelling you might be doing, for example bandaging, don’t do it around these guys. Also keep an eye on your pet’s health, unless you are using the Felhunter, he will eat the damage shield. The Basilisks also have a 5 second stun, Crystal Gaze, as well as the Scorpid’s poisoning you…
[55] Everything Counts In Large Amounts
Objectives : Find an Imperfect Draenethyst Fragment
Rewards : Kum’isha’s Junk (Random stuff inside)
[55] To Serve Kum’isha
Objectives : Find a Flawless Draenethyst Sphere
Rewards : Emerald Encrusted Chest (Random stuff inside)
Both of these quests rely on you being lucky and having either an Imperfect Draenethyst Fragment or if you are really lucky, a Flawless Draenethyst Sphere. These can drop off ANY mob in the zone and the Imperfect Fragment is more likely to be the one you see. I received two while fighting and on both hand ins (repeatable quest), got a green item in return. Kum’isha is a Draenei standing not far from where you will be killing the Boars and Basilisks…
All these quests are repeatable, but note the buff quests do not give XP second time around.
If this is your first trip to Searing Gorge, you need to get to Kargath, Badlands first. From either Stranglethorn Vale or The Undercity, take a flight to Kargath. If you are facing the flight master and Inn at Kargath, head to your left as there will be a path leading up into the mountains not far down, that path will lead you into Searing Gorge. When you enter, stick to your right and follow it around to the North end of the zone where you will find Thorium Point. There will be a flight path for you to discover as well as your quests.
Be sure to check the Wanted Poster at Thorium Point as it provides three quests for you.
[48] The Flawless Flame
Objectives : Collect 4 Hearts of Flame and 4 globes of Golem Oil
Rewards : XP!
Just out from Thorium Point you will find Kalaran Windblade, a Human with a quest. Listen to him tell his story and after he will ask you to collect 4 Heart of Flames and 4 Golem Oils. The Golem Oils will be relatively easy to get as you kill through Golems for the quest below, but the Heart of Flames might prove a little more difficult. Dropping only from the Blazing Elementals, you will have to keep your eye open to get all four. Check the little lava pit area’s through out the zone as that is the only place these balls of fire spawn.
[49] Curse These Fat Fingers
Objectives : Kill 20 Heavy War Golems
Rewards : Sellable loot
[49] Fiery Menace!
Objectives : Kill 20 Greater Lava Spiders
Rewards : Sellable loot
These two quests are easy to complete while running around as the Golems are pretty easy to spot and are all along the North and West sides of the zone as well as in The Cauldron. The Greater Lava Spiders are also found all over the West side as well as some up North, but double check as there are lower level ones that look exactly the same along the north.
You can head out and kill the spiders straight away if you wish as you are just to your left as you exit Thorium Point, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for the Golems, you will be clearing enough of them to get to other mobs.

The Ultimate Auctioneer Mod Guide (Mmorpg)
Maximizing your AH Gains using the Auctioneer Mod
As you probably know, trading on the AH can be a very risky business. If you have limited time to play (who doesn’t ), then you’ll find this guide a big help in your quest to make some steady income. We’ll be using the Auctioneer Mod, which is very handy. A quick Google search will give you a current download link.
Mod Installation
1.Download the Auctioneer Mod. Always shoot for the latest version; at the time of this writing the current version is 3.4.2. Try and get the .exe it makes for the easiest installation.
2.Install to the *World of WarcraftInterfaceAddOns directory.
3.At the character select screen click the AddOns tab and make sure that you have the mod enabled. Make sure that in the top right of the AddOns screen the UI memory is at least 48MB. Raise it if you need to.
4.Log into your character, when you get in you will see in your chat box that auctioneer has loaded. If it’s not there, type
| Code: |
| /auctioneer load or /auctioneer load always |
so that it will always load for the character you’re using.
5.Traipse over to the nearest AH. You should notice several new options near the bottom, make sure all the categories on the left side of the AH window are checked. Click scan. (This can take anywhere up to 30 minutes depending on PC speed and amount of auctions available). You need to try and do this as often as possible. Before you take a break for a little bit to run to the store or something, click scan. Need to have a cigarette? click scan….
Making Money
6.Click Search Auctions tab located at the bottom of the AH window.
a.Bidding:
With the defaults, you should see a 50s profit and a 30 percent less section on the left. You can adjust the 50s higher or lower to make less or more profit, but leave it at that for now. Click Search. You will notice on the right section some items showed up. Click on the price section on the top of the AH window. This will show you the items by the price. Lowest should be at the top, highest should be at the bottom. You can do it by either price or profit. Each one is cool. The price is the left amount, the PROFIT you can make is on the right. An example would be if a flaming cloak is 20s and the profit says 10s. You can sell the item for 30s and make 10s profit. This is usually how we do it first. We go through and buy ALL the cheap items, and usually have around 20-80 auctions going on at any given time. We then go through and see whats going to make some profit. Adjust your profit on the left side from 50s to say 2-5g. or more depending on what you feel like spending. You can then buy stuff for 1-2g that usually sells for 10-20g. You can hover your mouse over the items to see what they usually go for.
Note: You won’t get accurate prices for a while, until the program does a few scans and builds up it’s AH data. Keep scanning to get more accurate predictions.
7.Buyouts. Instead of having to bid, you can make profit off the buyout feature of auctions, you might not make as much, but theres still money to be made. Follow the same steps as Bidding, but switch the top left option from bidding to buyout. You will see the same buyout price section and the profit section. Remember: the profit area is not what you can sell it for, its what you will make off it.
8.Relist. Relist all the items you purchased, and DO NOT over bid on items. Base bids are good enough. You never really wanna go through and re-bid just in case you’re in a bid war with someone who does not know the limit. Or if you’re not paying attention to the price of items. Scan the AH before you list a lot of stuff. This is very important.
UNDERCUTTING 5%, COMPETITION ABOVE MARKET, CANNOT BEAT LOWEST PRICE, and more….
When you list an item or hover over an item you’ll see where it says one of the above sayings. Undercutting 5% is good, meaning people have the same item up, but you can beat them and still pull a profit. Competition above market is good also, meaning someone put it up but instead of putting a 1g item up for 1g they put it up for more, like 3g or 4g. Cannot beat lowest price sucks….. its obvious what it is. Try NOT to buy those auctions.
The main set of new commands you should try after scanning the auction house are:
| Code: |
| /auctioneer percentless /auctioneer bidbroker /auctioneer compete |
The percentless algorithm highlights all items which may be bought out for a given (60% default) percent less than the highest sellable price for this item. These people don’t know what the items they have are worth!!! Buy them up and relist them at a better price. Scrilla for you.
The bidbroker algorithm is similar in operation to the percentless one, but works on the bid price instead of the buyout price and are less than medium time left. These are items that for some freak of nature haven’t sold. You can bid on these items and then relist them at a better time of the day or week to profit.
The compete algorithm shows all the items that people are selling for less than your item of the same type. They are undercutting you, so you can buy their stuff and relist it at your price to make money off their folly.
While you are sitting around in the AH, be watching the trade channel.
On our server Unbridled Leggings go for around 90g. We discovered this by clicking on the item link in chat when someone was WTS it. When you click on an item or hover over an item you can see what it is worth in the AH, as well as other important information about it. You can see the Buyout Median, this is what it goes for average, you can see how many times you have seen it on the AH as well as the starting bid and how many times people have used Buyout on the item. Now back to the money making. When you see someone selling something, CLICK IT. see how much it goes for and how much its worth, see how much they want for it compared to what you can sell it for. We’ve bought a pair of Unbridled Leggings for 20g and made 70g by posting it on the AH for 90g Buyout.
General Rules
1.Check your mail often. Get the items that did not sell and put them back up IMMEDIATELY. You don’t want to have to much in your mail box or it gets to be a pain.
2.24 Hour auctions. The deposit may be more but it is less of a burden.
3.Quantity, not Quality. Buy Buy Buy Sell Sell Sell. You can never have enough auctions on at a time. The more you buy, the more you sell, the more you sell the more you make.
4.Grouping. When you are with some people you don’t know, and an item drops and everyone just wants it to sell it, offer money for it! Click the item to see how much it goes for, chances are no one in the group has Auctioneer running so they don’t know for sure what the actual AH value is. You can then offer them half of what its worth, or closer to the resell value if you’re a nice, non-greedy person.
WoW Guide: Horde Red Defias Mask Guide (Helbreath)
The red Dafias mask is a rouge only headgear, its red bandana that covers your characters nose and mouth like you would see on a bandit or something.
If you want one you will need to kill the Dafias in Westfall. Westfall is alliance territoy and is a bit tricky to get to as a low level horde (you should be at least level 15).
To get there take a zeplin from Undercity or Orgrimmar to Grom’gol Base Camp.
Then swim north up the coast of Straglethorn Vale, keep far away from land to avoid pulling agg.
Once in Westfall get on land (off the beach) and stealth your way further north. Just north of Gold Coast Quarry on the beach cliff there is a shed and a windmill surrounded by some level 12 - 13 Defias, its an out of the way place so you shouldnt see alot of alliance there. Just keep killing them it might take awhile for a mask to drop (about half an hour to an hour).
Once you’ve got it just hearthstone back to town.
Doing this in the morning will help reduce your chances of running into alliance (people tend to stop playing and go to sleep around that time of day).
How To Make Unlimited Gold On The Auction House (Horde leveling)
Before I start, I want to emphasize something. If you want to make a TON of gold in WOW you have to do work, and you have to do it consistently. I’m not saying you have to work hard, because you don’t this is EASY. You don’t even have to work A LOT , 15 minutes a day is sufficient if that’s all the time you want to put in. However you have to be consistent and keep at it every day.
Its all about execution and follow-through. A lot of people skim through a guide and think they learned something but then fail to follow through and take action.
So read this over, then read it over again, and then download the add-ons you need, and get started making gold. And if you have any questions feel free to email me.
My Strategy
There are many ways to make gold in WoW:
Grinding, Tradeskills, Etc.
However none are as effective as Reselling . or Buying low and selling High .
This strategy can be applied to any MMORPG, I started doing it in Everquest years ago, it worked well for me back then and it has worked very well for me in WoW as well. I have made somewhere in the ballpark of 50,000g in the 6 months that I have been playing WoW spending only around 30 minutes per day on average buying and selling.
I sold a good portion of that gold, and the rest I spent on friends, and myself. I was able to keep all my (and a couple of my close friends) characters in the very best blues and purples as I leveled them (I had all the BoE tier 1 epics from molten core in my bank when I was in my 40’s), buy mounts at 40, and epic mounts at 60, power level all my tradeskills to 300 in a matter of hours, even powerlevel many factions through turn-ins of BoE items purchased in AH. Allowing me to buy other races epic mounts among other rewards. I got all 1,200 tickets for darkmoon fair in an afternoon buying all the turning mats on AH. I also was able to create an army of twinks all decked out in the best gear, and best enchants money can buy. And I still have so much gold I don’t even know what to do with it. And the best part is that it was SO EASY! I laugh every time I think of someone grinding for hours on end to make a few gold .
Tools
Auctioneer
Auctioneer is included with many UI mods already, but if you do not have it, go download it, it is the single most important tool to have for making gold in wow.
Auctioneer scans the auction hall and records all of the items and their prices into a searchable database for you. This allows you to do two things:
1) spot items that are listed for too low of a price
2) buy said items and sell for a profit.
Shopping list
Shopping list is an add-on that works in conjunction with Auctioneer; It allows you to create a list of items which you can search for in your auctioneer scans. This allows you to search your scans for specific items rather than just search by price.
Why is this good? Because some items are very rare, which means they are not listed in AH very often. If something is not listed often then Auctioneer may have never seen the item before in a scan and thus would not report it in your search results as a good buy. For example I have Antenna of Invigoration In my shopping list and it came up in a shopping list report one day for 150g. Auctioneer did not report that as a good buy because it had never seen it in a scan before. I knew ahead of time that the item was valuable which is why I had put it in my shopping list. I bought and resold that item the same day for 1,500g.
Shopping List is also useful for finding tradskill items you use a lot.
CT mail
CT Mail Mod allows you to auto-open all the mail in your mailbox. Very handy when you are dealing with 100+ emails a day with gold from sold auctions, items to re-list from expired auctions, and items from new purchases.
Lootlink
Lootlink stores clickable links to every item that is ever linked in public channels or on people that you inspect. It is very handy for getting links to rare items to add to your Shopping List.
General Strategy
Make a level 1 character
Give Him/Her a catchy name
If you have enough money to do so at this point, go ahead and buy some 14 or 16 slot bags. If not don’t worry, you can work your way up to that when your rolling in gold.
Park yourself in AH
Open up the auction window
Uncheck the categories: Container, Consumable, Projectile, and Quiver as things in those categories generally do not produce good profits and just slow down your scans.
Press the scan button and wait for it to finish.
For the first few days the best thing to do is scan with Auctioneer as many times as you can through the day at different times. After a dozen or so scans across a span of 2 or 3 days auctioneer will begin to accumulate enough data to give you somewhat accurate pricing information.
Once you think you have enough scans to have good enough pricing data you can start searching for good buys:
I search for good deals 2 ways:
I create a macro : /auctioneer broker 500
This is a quick button I can click at any time and see everything that is listed at least 5g too low.
I use the Search Auctions Tab in the AH window. This is installed by the Auctioneer add-on
On the Search Auctions’ tab in AH search for:
Buyouts with percent less 80% and minimum profit 50silver
Buyouts with percent less 50% and minimum profit 1g
Bids (short / medium) with percent less 80% and minimum profit 50s
Bids (short / medium) with percent less 50% and minimum profit 1g
I have the 6 searches saved so I can run them all quickly in a row, starting with the 1g profit searches first.
As you begin to make more money you can search for higher profit items only as the smaller profit items will not be worth the effort then. For example I usually search:
Buyouts with percent less 90% and minimum profit 2g
Buyouts with percent less 50% and minimum profit 5g
Buyouts with percent less 25% and minimum profit 10g
Bids (short / medium) with percent less 90% and minimum profit 2g
Bids (short / medium) with percent less 50% and minimum profit 5g
Bids (short / medium) with percent less 25% and minimum profit 10g
Then if I don’t find many items in those searches, then I fall back to my lower profit searches and pick up a few more items there.
You can tweak these numbers and percents as you see fit those are just what I do.
Buyout all the good deals, and then head to the mailbox to pick them up and come back and relist them for more in AH. Read the rest of this guide for exact guidelines on what to buy and how to sell.
When you start to accumulate a lot of items (I usually have over 100 items in AH at a given time) it is helpful to leave the expired ones in your mailbox until you are ready to re-list all of the items at once. This will make it so that you only have to empty your mailbox and list items once a day, rather than every time you are at the mailbox. This will make your life a lot simpler once you have a large inventory.
Run these scans as often as you can, because the more you scan the more money you will make. I generally scan 3 times a day on weekdays: Once when I wake up and let it run while I shower. Once when I get home from work or while I eat dinner, and once right before I go to bed. Scan more if you can, remember it only costs you about 30 seconds of your time to log in and start a scan you can go do something else while it scans.
Always keep your character either at the mailbox, or in front of an auctioneer, that’s why you made a lvl 1 alt for this so that you are always ready to go when you log in.
BUYING
Run scans as often as possible
Bid on Tuesdays before the servers go down
Get your bid in before the server goes down on items with short or even medium durations left and you will have a better chance of winning them.
Scan early late Sunday night/ early Monday morning
These are one of the best times to pick up some cheep deals because everyone lists all the items they found over the weekend late Sunday night or early Monday morning. Not only are there a large amount of items for sale, but lots of competition so people list their items cheaper undercutting each other. This is great for us because we can buy up the under priced items then wait till a better time to sell them for a profit.
Sell on Sunday
Sunday is by far the best day to sell. For some reason a lot of people do their AH shopping on Sunday. Maybe it’s just because more people log-in on Sundays so more items get bought, but whatever it is Sundays are great for selling items. I always have a mailbox full of gold by Monday morning.
Make offers to people auctioning their items in the trade channel
If you see a particularly good item in a trade channel that you know will sell well make the seller an offer that is lower than what you know you can sell it for in AH. I usually offer anywhere from 50% to 75% of what I can sell it for depending on the item. Don’t waste too much time haggling with them, just make them an offer, and if they refuse don’t worry about it there are plenty more deals to be had. Also many times a seller who has rejected my offer will message me some time later and ask me if I still want the item for what I offered because they have not had luck selling it and they just want to get rid of it.
Use the Shopping list add-on
Use the shopping list add-on to keep track of items that you buy on a regular basis like tradeskill items for potions or whatever you craft. The most important use of shoppinglist however is searching for rare items. Auctioneer works by collecting prices over time and averaging them to find a value for an item. If an item has never been seen in a scan before (because its very rare) then when auctioneer sees it for the first time in a scan it will not know whether it is a good deal or not because it has nothing to compare the price to. So auctioneer will not even report that item, and you will never even know it was in AH at all. However if it’s on your shopping list it WILL get reported at the end of the scan. Now this only does you some good if you have an idea of how much you think you can sell it for. But at least you know its for sale. I have gotten several very nice items because of shopping list that I would have missed had I only used auctioneer. Now in order to add an item to the shopping list you have to first know what rare items you want to look for(I will maintain a list of these items on this site) and have a link of that item. There are 3 ways to get the link in game: 1) be lucky enough to find it in AH 2) Search for the link in your Lootlink add-on 3) If you cant find the link you can always ask for the link in the trade channel.
** UPDATE 7/19 **
Shopping List USE:
To add an Item to the list:
/sl add [Item Link]
To View your shopping list:
/sl list
To get a REPORT of items from last auctioneer scan that are on your list:
/sl report
*note- A report will automaticaly be shown after each AH scan, although you might miss it if you are not at your computer when the scan finishes.
SO :: Make a macro button for ‘/sl report’ so that you can click it when you sit back down at your PC and see the report.
Manually searching for items
Here is where you can really make some money, after you have done the auctioneer thing, and all the good deals have been bought up, there are some other actions you can take to ensure maximum profits. And this is where I make a lot of money so pay attention.
I was bored one day with doing the same old auctioneer scan thing so I decided to try something new. I decided to find something that I could buy up for cheep that I felt was undervalued. While power leveling my rogue one day I noticed that the biggest help in my killing power was having the best daggers I could get for my level, I also noticed that a lot of people make twink rogues. So I went to AH and bought up every green dagger between the levels of 5-19 and having of agility and of power since these seemed to be most desirable for a lowbie rogue. They were selling anywhere from 5s to 50s on my server. I re-listed them all for 1g 99s, every time I was in AH I would buy up all the lower priced daggers than mine. Mine began to sell.
Within a week I had upped the price to 2g99s for of power, and of agility daggers, and was now buying up all the other alternative green daggers such as of strength and of stamina and was listing them at 1g99s. They always sell. The re-listing fee is negligible so I can list them as many times as it takes. In fact if I get an overabundance of a certain type of dagger, I usually just vendor them. Since I buy then for like 10s its better to just buy them up and vendor them and loose a few silver , and have someone buy yours for 2g99s instead. You are still making a huge profit.
I then moved on to other green lvl 1-19 items following the same idea:
Lvl 1-19 green cloth of the eagle ; listing them all for 1g99s to 2g99s
Lvl 1-19 green leather of the monkey of agility of power ; listing them all for 2g99s or more. I can sell a +5+5 of the monkey legs or +4+4 monkey gloves for well over 10g a pair.
1-19 green rings of the monkey, eagle, bear, etc as well as Blood rings, Demon Bands, and Ring of the Moon; Buying them all up and re-listing them for anywhere from 5g for a +2+2 stat ring to 19g for a +3+3 of the monkey or of the eagle ring.
Another idea I had that has worked well :
lvl 40-50 green MAIL of the Monkey, Agility, Power. At level 40 hunters can begin to wear chain, this means that they need to upgrade all their gear starting at 40, so I buy up all the 40+ green mail gear that has good hunter stats and I re-list it for higher prices. If you keep buying up all the cheaper alternatives that get listed the hunters have no choice but to pay your prices, which they will because they are excited about getting to wear chain so they impulse buy.
You can come up with your own ideas following the same idea, some that I haven’t had time to try are 40+ plate of the bear for warriors, or 40+ gear for shamans.
It doesn’t really matter what item you choose as long as you know there is a demand for it and you are diligent in buying up all the lower competition and relisting them. You could even do this with rare or uncommonly seen trade goods etc.
Use caution buying 40+ blues; especially weapons
Use a bit of judgment befor ebuyign up too many 40+ blue items. Be sure that you are going to be able to sell the item for a decent profit because the AH listing fees on 40+ blue items can be high. Some higher level blue weapons can have listing fees of several gold . So only buy high level blues if you know 1 )the item has a high demand 2) you will be able to make a profit even if you have to list it a few times because 2g a listing adds up.
Epic Items
The same goes for epics, they generally have high listing fees, and the auctioneer data may be skewed because of a handful of overpriced epics that have been sitting in AH for weeks. Use caution when buying epic items. I would suggest that you only get involved with epics once you have plenty of experience and gold reserves on hand. Unless you are 100% sure that it’s a killer deal. If you do see something hat jumps out at you don’t hesitate to buy it. When I was just getting started I didn’t know a whole lot about the prices and values of most epics, but I did know that when I saw a Krol Blade for 150g it was an awesome deal and I snapped it up and resold it for over 500g.
How much gold to keep in reserve, how much to invest
In the beginning buy up every good deal you see, don’t worry about having gold in reserve. As you start to accumulate gold however you will find that you cant spend it all because there are not enough good buys on AH to spend it on, at this point you will probably be buying items and mounts for your other chars, and spending gold on other things. Once you reach that point you should always keep at least several thousand gold on your AH char at all times, you never know when someone is going to list 100 nexus crystals for 199g a stack of 10. This is exactly what happened to me one day. I spent 1990g buying 100 nexus crystals that I assume were listed by some guildbank , and relisted them for 59g a piece over several weeks, and turned that 1990g into 5900g quite a hefty profit.
SELLING
Sell on Sunday
Sunday is by far the best day to sell. For some reason a lot of people do their AH shopping on Sunday. Maybe it’s just because more people log-in on Sundays so more items get bought, but whatever it is Sundays are great for selling items. I always have a mailbox full of gold by Monday morning.
Listing fees and durations
Always list items for 24 hours, the fee isn’t that much more, it lets more people see the item, and it makes it so you only have to list the item once per day.
Always use buyout
Always Always set a buyout. If you don’t you will miss out on 99% of your sales. People want instant gratification, and also a buyout scares people into impulse buying because they feel that someone else could buyout the auction at any moment. With just bids and no buyout people know they have hours to think about it and often decide they don’t really need to spend all that gold on that item today.
Stack size
A lot of times I will buy up stackable items either in small stacks or 2 or 3 etc, or I will end up with stacks with like 17 or 18 items in them. This is not the best way to sell stackable items. I use the following guidelines:
In general if you have enough to combine into a stack of 10 or 20 do that because it is a nice even number and people can easily figure out if the price is good.
If you only have a few of the item (like 3 or 4) split them up and list them singly.
Some items are needed in specific quantities for quests or tradeskills; these are the exceptions where it may be beneficial to list them in those quantities. An example is nexus crystals are generally required in quantities of 3 for most high level enchants. So if someone else has them listed for 50g singly, and you have 3 for 150g, odds are your stack of three will be purchased because someone probably needs 3, and its less clicking for them to buy your stack of 3.
7’s 9’s rule
I always list my items using 7’s and 9’s let me explain:
If the item usually sells for around 10g I list it with a min bid of 7g77s and a buyout of 9g 99s. Never list anything for 10g or 20g etc, always 9g99s, 19g 99s
Its only 1 s difference but it makes people feel like its 10g cheaper. It’s the same principal as all those TV commercials that sell stuff for $19.95 It just sounds a lot cheaper than $20 even though its not really.
Sometimes if the item is worth only 15g, but there is no competition in AH at the time I’ll list it for 17g 77s / 19g 99s. People see 17g and think 17 is about the same as 15, and 19g is only 2 more g I really want it so I’m just going to buy it. They just paid 20g for a 15g item that’s 33% markup. They probably wouldn’t have bought the item had you listed it for 20g/20g.
Granted if you had listed the same item for 13g/14g99s they defiantly would buy it, but that is a judgment call you will have to make on an item to item basis based on how much competition there is, how much you paid for it, and how badly you need to sell it(because listing fee is high or whatever) personally I do not like to put myself in situations where I feel pressure to sell an item, and the best way to avoid that is to stay away from the higher level items whose demand you are unsure about.
Undercutting minimum bids
When most people search specifically for an item they sort the results based on lowest price first. The price is not determined by the buyout price but rather the minimum bid. So sometimes it makes sense to undercut the competitions minimum bid, but not necessarily their buyout. This will ensure that your item is at the top of the list and the first thing they see when they sort their results by lowest price. Be careful though never set your minimum bid below the minimum price you can sell the item for or you could loose money if someone bids on the item and the auction ends with that bid.
** UPDATE ** 7/19
MACRO KEYS
I have the following macro keys set up:
/auctioneer broker 500
/auctioneer broker 100
/sl list
/sl report
the first two will allow you to quickly check for buyouts with a 5 gold, and 1 gold profit, these can be pressed even durring a scan and if you see somethign worth buyign you can stop the scan and buy it.(if your sitting at your PC)
The third just shows you what is on your shopping list
The fourth is very useful, it shows you what items on your shoppign list were seen on the last auctioneer scan, and also what percent above or below the average price they are.
ITEMS
Rare blues
These are a good example of what to put on your shopping list. Odds are you will miss a good deal on them if you do not. Ask for links in public channels, or check your Lootlink, for the links to put on your shopping list
Again the command to add to your shopping list is:
/sl add <shift-click item link here>
These are the two big ones that I have on my list right now I will update this list as I find more:
Antenna of Invigoration
Elemental Attuned Blade
These are less rare, but still worth putting on the list, especially in the beginning when you don’t have many scans:
Pendulum of Doom
Assassin’s Blade
Shadowfang
Miner’s Hat of the Deep
Expert Goldminer’s Helmet
Shovelphlange’s Mining Axe
The Jackhammer
Unearthed Bands of _ _ _ _
Unearthed Bands of Agility
Etc. (keep in mind its leather so the good ones are going to be agility, power, monkey, etc)
Petrolspill Leggings
Mantle of Thieves
Flintrock Shoulders
Wolfclaw Gloves
Hotshot Pilot’s Gloves
Mechbuilder’s Overalls
Maiden’s Circle
Cross-faction patterns/items
There are several patterns or items that are only available to either alliance or horde. These can be purchased at vendors and if you can get them to the other faction AH you can mark them up hundreds of percent.
For example an alliance only pattern that costs around 50silver and sells very well horde side for 50gold + on my server is
Pattern: Red Whelp Gloves
To get ahold of this item you will either need to have a friend with an account on the other faction, or a second account yourself. Have the friend, or on your other account buy the item and list it for 1s or something in a neutral AH, then buy it and list it in your factions AH for whatever you want.
This is one of the better items I have found because the Gloves that it makes are highly desirable 10-19 BG Twink items.
Again I will update this List as I find more items worth doing this with.
Rare Tradeskill goods
These are hard to come by tradeskill goods that usually are not on the AH much or are very expensive because they come from raid zones/bosses. They are defiantly worth putting on your shopping list and keeping an eye on, especially once your get a good stash of gold, or if you have a lvl 60 char that can use them, or items made from them.
Dreamscale
Fiery Core
Lava Core
Brilliant Chromatic Scale
Bloodvine
Core Leather
Rare Tradeskill Patterns
There are some rare tradeskill patterns that you should keep an eye out for, prices on them might vary by server but they will sell for a lot regardless. I found a Formula: Enchant Chest - Greater Stats for 5g once, and a Enchant Shield - Lesser Block for 1g. I sold the first for 500g, and the other for over 100g. So just keep your eyes out for a obviously cheep price on any of these.
Formula: Enchant Weapon Lifstealing
Formula: Enchant Chest - Greater Stats
Enchant Shield - Lesser Block
Formula: Enchant Weapon - Crusade
Formula: Enchant Weapon - Superior Striking
Formula: Enchant 2H Weapon - Superior Impact
Pattern: Core Felcloth Bag
Recipe: Major Rejuvenation Potion
Pattern: Flarecore Wraps
Resist gear
Fire resist gear is a good resell item because the majority of guilds and players are doing onyxia molten core and blackwing lair right now, and most have minimum resist requirements for them, so the demand on these items is high. The other resists are generally not as good.
Stick with lvl 50+ items, not many people want low lvl resist gear when they are 60.
Rings with +19 or better FR are generally desired
To search for fire resist items simply search AH for fire resist lvl 50+
Just check for any items that are obviously underlisted. For example I just picked up a +15 FR green necklace for 7g. I sold it for 75g.
Items with no listing fee
Some items have NO listing fee, enchanting supplies are a good example. Dusts, Essences, and Shards have absolutely no listing fee, which is good because it means you can relist them over and over and not loose money. These are GREAT items for people who are just starting in their gold earning career because you can start with the lower lvl ones which are cheep and you can relist them without loosing any money. Also you can list them for only slightly more than you paid because you don’t have to worry about fees.
One word of advice about buying enchanting supplies is to buy on the weekends or when you notice a large amount of them in AH, and then sell in the middle of the week when supplies are dwindling.
TWINK ITEMS
Twinks are a huge source of money for me, A twink for those of you that don’t know is generally a lvl 19, 29, or 39 char (top of each battlegrounds level bracket) that is decked out in the best blues/purples that money can buy or can be obtained through instances or quests. And they generally have lvl 60 enchants on every slot. They are usually funded by their lvl 60 mains, and their only goal is to be the most decked out badass person in the battlegrounds so that they can dominate. They generally stay at that level for months or indefinitely just to dominate that bracket. Many people have one of each of the 3 levels for each bracket.
Once you start making gold you will be able to make twinks if you choose, however the reason we are talking about them now is because they will buy certain gear from you for ridiculous prices. I know a lot of other guides say no lvl 19 will pay 200g for a lvl 19 blue. But that is just in fact UNTRUE. Lvl 19’s repeatedly pay 50-200g for lvl 19 blues. There is a list of these items to look for below, but let me just provide you with one specific example. For example I love when I find an Assassin’s Blade
For like 5g in AH (happens quite a bit) they sell for 150g 200g on my server. And they DO sell. You might have to relist it 5 or 10 times, but the relisting fee is like 5s so no big deal. That is an extreme example because it is an especially rare item which comes from only 1 instance. However many of the items below sell for 40g or 50g + regularly.
Twink blues:
10-19:
Feet of the Lynx
Deviate Scale Belt
Sentry Cloak
Assassin’s Blade
Thorbia’s Gauntlets
Silver-linked Footguards
Skeletal Club
Night Reaver
Shadowfang
Black Malice
Tree Bark Jacket
Darkweave Breeches
Keller’s Girdle
Magefist Gloves
Twisted Chanter’s Staff
Witching Stave
Skycaller
Lil Timmy’s Peashooter
20-29:
Barbaric Bracers
Enduring Cap
River Pride Choker
Watchman Pauldrons
Tigerstrike Mantle
Brawler Gloves
Harbinger Boots
Dreamslayer
Cobalt Crusher
Forest Tracker Epaulets
Mantle of Thieves
The Butcher
Zealot Blade
Ironweaver
Claw of the Shadowmancer
Frostreaver Crown
Pugilist Bracers
Girdle of Golem Strength
Hotshot Pilot’s Gloves
Beguiler Robes

Glowing Magical Bracelets
30-39
Basilisk Hide Pants
Assault Band
Necklace of Calisea
Ogron’s Sash
Papal Fez
Speedsteel Rapier
40-49
Elven Chain Boots
Twink greens :
Some lvl 10-19 greens sell for 5g or even 10g+ simply because they are the best items you can get for those slots period(AH, Instances, Quests or otherwise) here are a couple examples.
Bristlebark Gloves
Forest Leather Bracers
Red Whelp Gloves <- On horde side they are very valuable, because it’s an alliance only pattern
LVL 10-19 rings : Ring of the eagle, monkey, bear, agi , eluding, blood ring, demon band, ring of the moon, etc etc
good low level rings always seem to sell well, I think it is because lower levels always seem to have empty ring slots to fill because they seem to drop less than regular armor.
Also because for twinking they are generaly better than the blue instance dropped or quest rings for some classes.
** UPDATE 7/19 **
Lvl 60 blue spell/skill books:
New lvl 60 spells and talents drop in AQ20 and AQ40 now, and are sellign for quite alot. I have sold them for 500g and up to 750g for the more desirable ones.
Keep an eye out for cheep ones in AH, and if you see one in public trade , haggle with them a bit and see if you can get it cheep.
note that there are also a few new lvl 60 books from normal instances that are not worth nearly as much. all of the good ones however are listed below.
Rare ones:
Grimoire of Shadow Bolt X
Tome of Frostbolt XI
Grimoire of Immolate VIII
Manual of Revenge VI
Tome of Arcane Missiles VIII
Guide: Serpent Sting IX
Tome of Fireball XII
Guide: Multi-Shot V
Manual of Heroic Strike IX

Book of Starfire VII
Guide: Aspect of the Hawk VII
Handbook of Feint V
Handbook of Deadly Poison V
Handbook of Backstab IX
Other thoughts:
You will find that over time you will get better and better at knowing what to buy and how to sell, it is just like anything else it takes practice. This guide gives you a big head start but there is still plenty to learn, different items will sell better or for different amounts depending on your server, the economies between new and old , high and low pop servers varies greatly.
Once you have a good feel for the local economy on your server you will begin to make wiser choices and make more gold.
Thats it , go get started !
Mount On The Boat (Dragonmaw gold)
I will try to get a screen shot of this tonight, but I have found a way to mount on the boat, then jump onto the dock mounted and ride off.
I took the boat from the wetlands to Menethil, and I took the stupid boat that’s west of Dire Maul.
Anyway…
Go up to the second floor, and walk out on the ropes towards the side you will have to get off the boat. Then walk forward, on the rope until you are on the 45 degree slanted part, that slants forward (you will now be standing at an angle down). Now click mount. Keep trying it and you will get it. In relation to the opening on the boat you walk back onto the dock, it is closer to the back of the boat (but not past the end of the opening) where you can mount. Once you are there, jump off the top, and you’re set (don’t just walk off).
