TBC Bosses - 550g / 15min

[lalaa]

Introduction

So the thing is, TBC raid bosses award around 500g for a kill, if you solo them that is.
This is without the epics that sell for a few gold each to vendor.

Pretty simple:
Solo raid bosses from TBC for a fairly good gold gain
Takes about 15 minutes to kill one of the bosses
Plus, for those of you who like achievements but weren't around in TBC, gogo!

Obviously you can't solo bosses with every class. The ones I have tested the bosses with is as a Protection Warrior and as a Protection Paladin.
Most classes that can't tank are unable to do this! But doing this with two people still makes a fine profit ~280g each. Plus the kill is obviously a lot faster.



Bosses tested so far:

Raid Bosses:

Matheridon - 3.3m HP
- Fairly easy, clear all adds outside boss room cause they will aggro once you initiate the boss fight.
The channelers are almost impossible to kill as they heal eachother.
Tank them along with the boss, you shouldn't have too much trouble keeping your HP up.
After you kill the boss and loot, just run out without killing the channelers, they'll still heal eachother...

Gruul - 2.3m HP
- This one was really tough, the minibosses have a lot of CC effects, was still possible though.
Took down the casters/CC'ers first and as soon as they were down it was no problem.
Gruul himself is pretty simple, no adds, no nothing, gogo kill! Gruul drops 250g but the minibosses also drop gold so it's around 500g as well.

Kharazan
- Fairly easy, takes longer time though, so in a gathering vs tbc bosses farming sense, it´s not worth the time. But for those of you farming achievements, there´s reputation. And of course, you can do it just for the fun of it!

The Eye
- Al'ar, doable, at least as a Prot Pala. (Tested by Jimmys96)
- Kael'Thas, not doable as a Prot Warr. But doable as a Death Knight according to this link: YouTube - DK solo: Kael´thas Sunstrider 25 (Tempest Keep 4/4) (Thanks to Toothpaste)

World Bosses:

Doomwalker (Shadowmoon Valley) - 1.6m HP
- Easily soloable and 500g drop without epics (Tested by Killalots)

Note
I did the bosses to get achievements at first, this is not some insane money making guide but I hope that some people will find it useful. I did search and I couldn't seem to find anything similar to this, if some of you find it useful I'll gladly test some more bosses and I'll add the ones I read in comments regularly.

Yes, some classes can do. Usually it takes 2 man to take Maggi, 3 man for Gruul.
Also dont forget that MC run isnt 15min, its more like 60-90 min but its much more easy for solo and still get 1k rep for waterlords + ~450g total.

Trying this with hunter today, gonna report back ^^

[Killalots]

No one kills the Doomwalker in Shadowmoon Valley and that's an easy 500g (Without repairs) and easily soloable.

Thanks for the info though

Well I have been able to solo both Matheridon and Gruul so far, about MC, that's a vanilla instance so I didn't really count it in, but yes that's very easily soloable and you can earn much more than most might think.
The item Sulfuron Ingot (~30 % drop according to Wowhead) from Golemagg the Incinerator can easily get you some gold.
People use them for Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros and they sell for around 1600g on my server to achievementwhores. But that's obviously very server dependent..
Also Fiery Cores and Lava Cores can either get you exalted with Thorium Brotherhood or get you more money on AH!
Not to mention, that if you're a miner you can mine Dark Iron in MC with a chance of getting Blood of the Mountain which also sells quite well on some servers (currently 700g) on my server.

Firstly, I'm a feral tank. so i love this info. and soloing.

Kara is only a 10 man, but i think most of that raid should be solo-able now (maybe pull some people in for chess? what bosses cant you access without the chess event?)

wonder what you could get for gold from it.


has anyone tried Loot Reaver or High Astromancer Solarian yet?

and frankly I've wanted to test if Kael is solo-able yet since cata dropped. god i want a phoenix..... if i could solo it......

[jimmys96]

Loot reaver got berserk.. al'ar was pretty easy thought.. gonna test astro now... prot paladin btw

[lalaa]

Tried Kael'Thas, not soloable, but a few people should be able to do it

[dontc4re]

lalaa, as what class did you test kael? prot war and prot pally?

Prot Warr, I think Palas might have more luck, cause as a Warr I have nothing but Blood Craze, Victory Rush and Enraged Regen to keep me up. But there's a lot of CC stuff in that fight, not sure it's soloable at all

I took it all out in around 45 minutes as a moonkin yesterday, first half depend son what you get as opera, i got bbw so it was easy.

made around 500g, skipped quite a few trash mobs.

chess is soloable, prince is locked until you complete it.

Having a hell of a hard time doing some of these as a BM hunter. Not being able to actively heal yourself is an issue due to various forms of AoE from adds/bosses.

try specing marksman for chimerashot heal and skill soulbound 2/2. Than go to magtherion, let your pet tank those 4adds. when mag is released, let your pet tank him, hold mend pet up and kite those abyss with fox aspect around, el voila 500g
