Zul'Farrak - Gold mine or time sink?

[hutchkitch]

This is my first post, constructive criticism is more than welcomed.... pointless flaming to make yourself look cool is just a waste of everyone's time.

Anyways....

I have a 70 hunter and a 40 something Mage my partner has 70 Druid and a 40 something Priest.

My Mage is a tailor and the other halfs priest is an enchanter (my 70 is also an enchanter)

Our 40 somethings have not yet started to quest in area's that drop much mageweave but I need loads of the stuff to level up the tailoring - so we thought we would go a framing with our 70's. And we ended up in ZF which is great as it is my fav old world instance.

We have been running ZF about 5-6 times a night clearing (almost) everything up to Ghaz'rilla.

at the end of the day we total up what we have got.....

we can easily get 300 - 400 Mageweave (and a bunch of silk cloth) Perfect for levelling the tailoring, mageweave also sells for about 6-7g per stack in the alliance AH (though interestingly only for 3g in the horde, so a little bit of cross faction trading would make a very extra gold a night - but that's another stary), you can also craft the White Bandit Mask Pattern: White Bandit Mask - Items - World of Warcraft and disenchanting for vision dust if that sells for more) either way loadsa gold.

Each boss drops a BOP blue, so that is 5 (if I remeber correctly) Large glimmering shards per run - 30 per evening - about 8g each = 240g (though flooding the AH would of ofc be a bad thing)

You can get perhaps 6-10 greens per run - so that is more vision dust and possible the odd small glimmering shard.

We have also had 2 blue BOE items drop one was Whichfury Witchfury - Items - World of Warcraft which netted us 110g and one was a lvl 42 sword... though cannot remember which one.... it sold for 75g

I you can be bothered, do clear the graves, we have had the odd green drop from the graves themselves and almost always get 1-2 greens from the mobs (the witchfury dropped from these spawns)

ZF - goldmine if you are enchanter and need to get something specific from there (Mageweave), also if you want a change and want to relive the day you did the releasing the prisoners part (I can still remember the fear the 1st time I did it!)

Timesink if mageweave is worth squat on your server and you can disenchant!

Apologies if posted before - I did search but you can only look though so many posts before your eyes glaize over

Anyways - I have to run now but wanted to share that before the weekend.

Actually its Large Radiant Shards you get from them. Id recommend every 40-46 char to get a 70 to boost you here, I payed a 70 20g to do it and I ended up with 20g more than I had to start with.

+rep for a nice well wrote thread.

Doh,

Have a few links to post, but it says I need 3 posts before I can post them so they will follow this one, sorry in advance for posting twice in a row.

White Bandit Mask recipe drops in ZF (and other places) - here's the link.... Pattern: White Bandit Mask - Items - World of Warcraft

There is a real detailed post on here about this money making method here.... http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-gu...te+bandit+mask (I hope that link works...)

I found mine in the AH though for 7g, I have run ZF many many times over the last week and it hasn't dropped.

I hope that helps
