Gathering Profession Gold Farming Tip for Mining

Mining can generate you some serious gold because Engineers and Blacksmiths both need lots of it. I'm going to assume that everyone knows where they can find some Copper and Tin, for their respective starting points.

For Iron, I head over to Arathi Highlands. That zone is loaded with it and you will also find some Mithril while you are there. Also, you will want to head over to the Drywhisker Cave next to Hammerfall in the Northeast. This cave has a lot of Lesser Bloodstone which is needed for the Favor for Krazek quest, which is given by Krazek in Booty Bay. You can sell stacks of these for a few gold at the Auction House or in Booty Bay where the quest is given.

Another ore needed for a quest is Incendicite Ore which can be found in the cave just north of Dun Algaz in the Wetlands. This ore is needed for the Search for Incendicite quest given by Pilot Stonegear in Dun Morogh so you should try to sell through Trade Channel there or at the Auction House.

One of the best places to find Mithril and Truesilver is by making passes in the Blasted Lands,
Searing Gorge, and Tanaris. The Charred Vale in Stonetalon Mountains is also good for a quick run to get some Mithril while being able to find some Gold and Truesilver.

Now for the real money maker... Thorium ! Not only does Thorium by itself sell very well (About 10 Gold per stack), you can also find Arcane Crystals in these veins. These things have a decent drop rate and can sell between 12 and 15 Gold a piece at the Auction House. If you don't do anything else to make gold but sell the Thorium and Arcane Crystals you find, you will be just fine.

Now where are the best spots to get this you ask? The 3 best spots to find these veins are in the Burning Steppes , Eastern Plaguelands , and Winterspring . These places are loaded. If those areas are being hit by too many people, you can also find some more Thorium veins over in Un'Goro. Making runs in these areas can make you well over 50 Gold per hour! Be sure to make use of the Gatherer UI Mod to help you locate these veins. The faster you can locate the veins, the faster you can you can make money.

Best Hunter Talents Build for WOTLK

Out of all the classes in World of Warcraft the Hunter is a top choice of many players for its value in WOTLK. With the right WOTLK Hunter talent build you can get a lot accomplished in a short amount of time. The learning curve may seem rather steep but the effort will pay off in the long run. This is because the Hunter is a tremendous DPS provider and an excellent gold farmer. Both are essential to being a well balanced class for maximum potential.

Many of the elite players have mastered and put together their own WOTLK Hunter talent build and most versions work well, however it is important to start with a great base build so you can tweak it to your tastes and skill level. For mid range players that haven't completely leveled yet it is a good idea to put your Hunter talent points in Beast Mastery.

If you are looking for better survivability and a very basic WOTLK Hunter talent build then go with a 57/14/0 set up. This works great for conducting instances as well as farming. Using this build requires Catlike Reflexes, Thick Hide, and Endurance Training. All of which are geared towards your character's survivability on the battlefield.

If you are looking for the absolute best WOTLK Hunter talent build then you may be looking for a long time just one definitive answer. This is because there is no set standard for what will work for everyone. Just stick to basic foundation build and tweak from there by finding out what works best for you. You can actually learn a lot for yourself just by playing with the numbers.

Tweaking your build to best fit you will prove very beneficial and before long you will be able to out-DPS just about anyone in your party. This does all depend on your exact goal and the plan you have for you character. Do not be afraid of messing around a bit with those numbers for different instances and quests and you may find that you might use something completely different when going solo.

Ingvar the Plunderer

Ingvar has two different phases. The first phase will pit you up against the following attacks:

  • Staggering Roar – Hits you with 2800 damage to all enemies within 60 yards, interrupting all casts for 6 seconds.
  • Smash – Deals 22,500 phsyical damage to all dnemies within 10 yards cone of the caster with a 3 second casting time.
  • Enrage – Buff for Ingvar that boosts his attack speed by 5% and his size by 5% per cast with stackability to 50.
  • Cleave – 150% of normal melee damage to any enemy and nearest ally.
  • After you kill Ingvar the first time, he will be resurrected by Annhylde the Caller and have the following abilities:
  • Dreadful Roar – Deals up to 3900 Shadow Damage to all enemies within 60 yards and interrupts all casts for 8 seconds. It also increases shadow damage taken by enemies by 5% with stackability to 40.
  • Woe Strike – Deals 200% normal melee damage and the debuff Woe Strike which will cause the healer of any party member with this debuff 1600 Shadow Damage.
Dark Smash – Deals up to 22,500 Shadow Damage to all enemies within 10 yard AoE cone with additional 2200 Shadow Damage to all enemies and a knockdown.

When you first see Ingvar, he will be talking to two other Vyrkul, but once you aggro him, the two fly away and never return, so you can ignore them. You want to tank him at the end of the platform if possible with all casters standing as far away from him as possible. The most devastating abilities he has have long casting times so you can get away from him, but you need to beware o Enrage in Phase 1 due to the stacking ability of the spell.

The key here is to maintain range, get away when he prepares to cast his biggest attacks and never pull aggro due to the potential for Cleave or Smash. Watch the casting bar closely and make sure to have a curse remover in the party for this fight as well.

Skarvald /Dalronn


This is a two boss combo encounter with Skarvald using Charge, a initiating attack that stuns the enemy for 2 seconds with a 35% damage impact and Stone Strike, an ability that inflicts 100% normal weapon damage and knocks the enemy back. Dalronn has Debilitate which lowers melee attack, casting, movement and ranged attack speeds by 50% while dealing 750 Shadow Damage every 2 seconds for 8 seconds. Additionally, Dalroon has Shadowbolt which deals 3300 Shadow Damage to one enemy.

Tank them both after they are pulled near the ramp where you will first see them. Skarvald will charge a lot and Dalronn will drop aggro often to cast Shadowbolt. You can choose to kill them together or separately – it doesn’t really matter. When one boss dies though, the other creates a spirit of the dead one that will continue to attack you and cannot be defeated. So, it is best to kill them both as close together as possible.

The Prince Keleseth Encounter - Utgarde Keep


Prince Keleseth is the first encounter in Utgarde Keep and will have a Shadowbolt ability that hurls a bolt of dark magic at a single enemy inflicting large amounts of Shadow Damage. Additionally, he has a Frost Tomb ability that locks enemies within a block of ice with 400 Frost Damage every second for 20 seconds.

Additionally, there will be 4 Vykrul Skeleton adds in the fight which each have a Decrepify ability that reduces your strength by 100 and slows your movement by 30%.

The best strategy against Keleseth is to pull all four of the Vykrul first and kill them – they are no more special than the other Vykrul located in the instance and should be a relatively easy kill for your group. When the prince engages, put the tank on him and start the DPS process.

He will cast Frost Tomb occasionally on party members including the tank which will freeze them for 20 seconds and deal 8000 damage over time. Use Ice Block or Divine Shield to remove it. Four more Vykrul Skeletons will add mid-way through the fight. Just kill them quickly to avoid their ability. Keep them together to kill as Keleseth will resurrect them repeatedly.

Disenchanted Items To Make Some Fast WoW Gold

It is good to become knowledgeable as to what items disenchant into valuable enchanting materials. For example, Icy Cloaks and Green Lenses always disenchant into valuable enchanting materials. In the case of Green Lenses they will always result in a large radiant shard when disenchanted.

So, head to your local AH and check the
price of green lenses and large radiant shards.

If the shards are selling for more than the lenses then buy the lenses and disenchant them and sell the shards for a profit. If enchanting is not one of your professions then start a lvl 5 alternate character that is a gnome or dwarf and run him/her to Ironforge or an orc or troll and run them to Org and learn enchanting.

From this point on this
character can be your “mule” to disenchant items. Unfortunately in
a recent patch, you must be an appropriate skill level in enchanting
to DE items of higher level. Meaning you can no longer do this
without leveling up the character.

WoW patch 3.1 - Summary of some Buzz on the Web

The new World of Warcraft 3.1 patch has been the so called talk of the town as of lately. As the patch is being implemented here is a summary of some of the latest news about the patch.

Ulduar Raid Instance

Looking for areal challenge? Well Blizzard is bringing it very soon to a server near you with patch 3.1, in the form of the Ulduar raid instance. Boss fights anyone? Expect your fair share and you get them for 10 and 25 person raids. In the normal or hard flavors. What's even better? How about all new loot that includes the Tier 8 class sets. Nice huh?

New Mounts
3.1 WoW patch will provide more mounts. Here is an abbreviated overview.

The most anticipated mount may be the Sea Turtle mount. This is a very rare item and you can only get it by fishing in Northrend. This mount has gone through an extreme make-over to set it apart from the reward mount of the WoW trading card game.

In the upcoming Argent Tournament you can expect to find a set of mounts. These will be in line with there own starting areas. You will be able to spend and collect Champion's Seals to receive mounts such as the Turbostrider or the Swift Orgrimmar Wolf. You may notice that these mounts are the same as the classic mounts you get from town vendors. The only difference being a new color palette.

New Pets in 3.1
A few pets will be added with most of them coming the Argent Tournament and a few were added for holiday events. The good news about the Argent Tournament pets is that all the pets you can buy for 40 x Champion's Seal (Sen'jin Fetish, Elwynn Lamb, etc ...) are NOT bind on pick up, which means that you will be able to sell them at the AH and get the pets from the other faction at the neutral AH as well. Here are some screen-shots.

Dual Spec
When dual talent specializations (Dual Spec) were revealed in the upcoming World of Warcraft 3.1 patch, Blizzard had some pretty stringent rules in place. Players had to be level 80 to access the ability and also needed to be near a Lexicon of Power (found in various capital cities) to even switch specializations. But Eurogamer as discovered that things have changed!

Now, the required level is 40 and training costs 1000 gold -- which is easy for someone to do if they've got a character in Northrend. Also, players can proceed to switch talents anywhere they like, so long as they're not in battle, a PvP Arena or Battleground. The talent switch will take 5 seconds and reset class resources to zero. In addition to these changes, a one-click equipment manager will also been added to streamline switching from one build to another.

Ready for 3.1? WOTLK Gold Farming Tips To Score That Extra Gold for Dual Spec

To succeed and be among the elite you must first master the art of WoW WOTLK gold farming. You also need to stay up to date on the new changes in patch 3.1.

The slightly more risky but much more rewarding way is grinding the demons. They will prove time and time again they are one of the best resources for a good War of Warcraft gold farming strategy. They drop a lot of gold and you can often score epic items from these little cash machines.

Zombies in the Eastern Plaguelands
This may not be much of a secret anymore but it is still a great WOTLK gold farming tip. In the Eastern Plaguelands you will find a good amount of zombies. The zombies are not hard to kill and will drop a bunch of gold as well as some rare items.

Dire Maul Tribute
For this tip it is a good idea to do it in a group. You can head out to Dire Maul Tribute for a great World of Warcraft gold farming spot. Actually this is getting to be pretty popular. So much that you can actually find guides on the internet just for doing runs out to Dire Maul Tribute. It's a pretty tough place but yields excellent gold and other goodies.

Big Gold from Fiery Enchant and Quest Rewards


Insider Tip From Warcraft Millionaire Brad Johnson.

For a long time I recommended people to grab the fiery enchant
reward from a quest in the Badlands and resell it for anywhere from
10-30g. Well, it finally happened- the item is soulbound now!
The good news is that I've found another reward from a Badlands
quest that sells for just as much and sometimes more.

If an engineer wants the schematic for Flash bombs there are only
two ways that he can get it. The first is a very drop of the schematic
from Gnomeregan (it's about a .02% chance). The second is as a
guaranteed quest reward from the “Pearl Diving” quest in the
Badlands. The quest comes from Rigglefuzz who asks you to get 9
blue pearls for him from the Vile Reef. After delivering them you
will get a schematic for the Flash Bomb.

This reward is not soulbound and will sell for anywhere between
20-30g. I always walk into the Badlands and offer to buy these off
those doing the quest there. I also check the AH for them regularly
because most people don't know how valuable they are and sell
them for a gold or less! I just buy it and re-list for the appropriate
price.

And while you are looking for blue pearls for the above quest it
doesn't hurt to grab a few extras. They are needed for the Flash
Bomb recipe and sell quite well on the AH as well. It's best to sell
them in stacks of appropriate size for the quest.

WoW Gold Tip - First Aid and Fishing

If you’re Alliance and you head out to Stromguard castle (the one in
Arathi) hang a right at the entrance and once inside the “safe” area
make another right across the bridge. You’ll find an NPC named
Deneb Walker.

He sells the First Aid books that allow you to
increase your level as well as learn improved bandage styles.
Horde can head out to Brackenwall Village in Dustwallow Marsh.
You'll find the NPC Balai Lok'wein. She sells the First Aid books for
the Horde.

You can purchase these for 1g or under and resell them on the AH
for at least twice as much. On my server there are quite a few people
who have figured this out, but it doesn’t really matter because I still
sell them all the time!

Also, you can buy the expert fishing book called Expert Fishing –
The Bass and You
from the fishing trainer in Booty Bay. These sell for
1g from the vendor and sell on the AH for 2-5g.

WOTLK Tip- Understanding the Spell Power Stat


Along with the 3.0.2 WOTLK patch was that Blizzard combined Spell Damage and Healing all into single stat called Spell Power. This was done because it will allow Blizzard to maintain loot tables because it reduces the amount of items that are needed.

This also means that casters that are "specced" for damage are able to boost healing more and dedicated healer can inflict more damage when they are not casting a heal. This makes all casters more versatile during a battle.

Stats for haste rating, hit rating, and critical rating are tied to melee and spells. This reduces the number of the stat modifiers which is for easing things more than anything. The overall effect is the amount of gear on an epic instance boss's loot table is cut down substantially. This cuts out the super specialized gear that no one ends up wanting.

It does however create a bit more competition between dps and healing casters as they will regularly be rolling for the same items.

Old School Tips for Warcraft - Grinding Gnomermegan Solo

Over the last few months most of the excitement has been about WOTLK. So much of so that the basics and some of the sure fire grinding secrets have been forgotten. So here is an old school tip for those who would like some information on grinding solo and doing it in Gnomermegan for some good gold profits.

Look for the room in Gnomermegan where can find the Healer Holdout Medics. They are the ones that will heal you as you attack the mobs. You will find it rather easy to run out and pull a mob of 3 then bring them back, the healers with then automatically heal you.

The mob that you pull usually range from level 25 to level 30 elite mobs. If you are at level 33 you can expect to gain anywhere from 260 to 400 experience per kill. Also you can get around 4-5 gold on each run. All this can be done around an hour or so and maybe even less as you get proficient.

Don't worry if you are a lower level, just about all classes at just about any level can do this. However, you must have a Rogue's stealth in order to get into the room solo. Another class shouldn't have much trouble finding a group to drop them off once you have arrived at the room.

Here is what you do:

Direction's: You first enter Gnomermegan and follow the hall until you get to the elevator. Take it down to the bottom and continue down the hall until you get to the Train Depot and take a left.

Follow this hall until you come to the instance portal and go in, once in the other side follow this to the end and and go left to the hall of gears. Now follow this hall, then go to the second big entrance and take another left. When in this hallway it will say you are in the Dormitory and then the clean room.

To save some time, there is a wall you can jump over and land into the clean room. The drop is about 500 dmg so do it with full health.(This is also the room were you turn in the Grime-Encrusted tokens). When you are in this room look around and you will see the npc's.

I use the 3 that are to the right of the entrance when looking out. What I do is just run out and pull a mob and run back and stand in the center of the npc's and they will heal you. Hope this helps!
