Key Mastery - 8-12k Best Place to Farm Raw Gold like a Baws - Complete Guide Series

[Umren]

Hey Guys!

Being inactive for a while, coz of my health problems, but I am back and bringing some content for you!

Lets start with a "wannabe" awesome trailer for this guide:

Best 6.2 WOD Gold Farming Guide - Key Mastery TRAILER - 8-10k/h - always!


Hope you liked, it's first of it's kin, and I will try every other trailer to make it better and more exciting

Important points about this guide:
- I won't be able to embeed more than 1 Video, that I've used on the trailer, so I rather post links to them directly or u can watch the playlist on another tab in your browser for each part I will make short explanation / overview for those who don't wanna SEE the stuffs, but prefer to READ them
- After every video I will mention anything I have forgotten in the video so u can give the text some love too.
- Every video contains every detail that I might miss in the text explanation but if I missed something let me know below.
- It's really important to check all the parts to get complete understanding about everything that happens for farming / opening keys, and what to do with all the materials.
- Will try to answer every question you got below, but try to watch or read the guide before asking questions, because that is the reason why I made the guide... to answer 97% of your questions I will take care of the remaining 3%
- Avoid posting hating comments or anything like that, because I am trying to help you as much as I can... You won't achieve anything, and I will most likely ignore your comment, therefore you are wasting your energy on something that won't benefit you, so rather watch, enjoy and get some gold

Part 1 - Introduction to Vale and What you are getting from Pandaria Key Farming - Key Mastery PART 1 - WOD 6.2 Gold Guide <- Link to the Video

First I am sorry for the sound, there was a trouble with youtube format processing, it's perfect in the next videos.

Why Farming Vale or Keys:
- it gives 8-12k GOLD per Hour - Always.
- It is THE BEST farming place for farming RAW gold, or steady gold in World of Warcraft right now (that is why there were so many bots there).
- 50-70% of the items you are getting, can be sold to Vendor for prices higher than Auction House (explained in Part 3 how). That means that your server economy will not mean anything to you, since you are getting most of your gold from vendor and looting the mobs.
- It can be farmed on lower levels, meaning you don't have to have WOD to farm here, but you must have good geared 90 MOP char, since mobs are in high end Pandaria zone.

What Important Items you are getting from Vale:
1. 30-40 Keys / hour (avg is 36 for me)
What Key Means?
- 30-35 RAW gold per Key
- 10% Imperial Silk (only for Tailors)
- 10% Scroll of Wisdom (only for Inscriptions)
- Treasure of the Vale (1 stack of Random MoP Trading Good (ore, herb, etc) and chance of something higher (Golden Lotus, Bolt, Magnificent Hide, etc)
- Golden Lotus Reputation Tokens (Bind on Account) - extra reputation to exalted for you and your alts

2. Skyshard
What is Skyshard:
- Skyshard is Bind on Account item, meaning you can send to ANY of your alts, regardless of the server and sell it on any server. (Ex: You farm on some low pop server where you need RAW gold, but Alani u can't sell there?! No Problem! Send the Skyshards to some of your high populated servers alt, and sell it there.)
- 10 Skyshards IS ALL YOU CAN HAVE in you or in BANK! (IMPORTANT TIP: When you reach 7-8 Skyshards, mail them to some of your alts, because if u have 8 total on your character (bank included) and you happen to get a drop of 3 (happened to me), you will not be able to loot them.)
- With 10 Skyshards you create Sky Crystal. (Sky Crystal is Bind on Pick Up, meaning that when you merge the skyshards into a Crystal... it is soulbound and there is NO MORE alt sending. You gotta figure out whatever u want on that guy).
- What is Sky Crystal?
Sky crystal is item that allows you to cast a magic (by right clicking it) on the mob called ALANI, that flies around in Vale. That mob has 100% chance to drop mount, that people call it ALANI. It looks the same, it flies the same, it smells the same as the Mob you are killing.
WIthout the Sky Crystal, you cannot touch the mob. It's protected by a spell... by casting the magic of the Crystal you are releasing the Mob and Tagging it instantly.
And there is a way how to sell it. I am explaning that in Part 3 - where i do all the other selling strats.

3. Other green, grey, etc stuffs that you ALWAYS sell to vendor.
- For those who are wondering "Why not Desenchanting the greens" - because the Dust is worth 0.5-1g / each. You get 3 dusts avg from item. Gives you 3g value / Item. You losing time to DE, you losing time to post on AH, and no1 buys that sh*t this days anyway
- Vendor Gives you 6-10g average for those items.
Is it Worth? You decide


Part 2 - Requirements and Best Route for Farming Key / Skyshards Gold Farm in Vale - Key Mastery PART 2 - WOD 6.2 Patch <- Link to the Video


Requirements to Farm Vale:

1. BEST COMBO of professions for Farming Vale: (1.5-3k gold / hour increase)
Tailoring is a MUST (if you want to farm efficiently, but until u level it out, feel free to farm without, so you can get enough gold to get mats for leveling it.). Why? Because you are getting 50% more cloth from mobs, as mentioned earlier, 10% imperial Silk (50-300g each) from the keys, etc etc. (More about selling and stuffs in Part 3 Below)
Inscription Optional but helps a lot! 10% Scroll of Wisdom - 300-400g each (More about that in Part 3 Below)

2. Potion of Luck (1-1.5k gold / hour increase)
Buy it off auction House for 10-30g each or craft it with alchemy. It gives Plundered Tresure when you loot mobs, and it contains from gold, to Random Pandaria Materials.

3. Server with least possible competition.
If you have lots of people farming on your server, use Cross Realm Assist to phase yourself to a server where not many people are farming. (Cross Realm Assist usage briefly explained in Part 2 above, or completely explained in Part 5 Below)

4. Good Route for Farming Them - You have the best one in the video above.


Part 3 - MOP / Pandaria Mats - Best Auction House Selling / Vendor Tricks from Key Farming in Vale- Key Mastery PART 3 - WOD 6.2 Patch <- Link to the Video

*For this part I won't be detailed as Much, because the video itself is long enough (40 Minutes), and making transcript for it, will look a bit silly. But if u do like to, I will add them later.

What the Video is Explaining for you:

1. How to sell to Vendor:
- Windwool Cloth
- Ghost Iron Ore
- Exotic Leather
- Herbs

2. How to sell in the Most Efficient and Profitable Way on Auction House or Vendor the Following:
- Spirit Dust / Sha Crystal
- Trillium Ore / Bar
- Magnificent Hide
- Golden Lotus
- Imperial Silk
- Scroll of Wisdom
- Spirit of Harmony

3. How to Sell Alani

4. Mentioned above - Vendor the Green Items you are loting!!!

*If something you have to add, have an idea, or anything, feel free to add them below, I will read and refresh the post accordingly!

Part 4 - Ancient Guo Lai Cache Key - How to Open / Tips & Tricks - Location of the Caches and How to Avoid Dying to the Rooms of Traps (Vault Room) - Key Mastery PART 4 - WOD 6.2 Patch <- Link to the Video

What this Part Covers:

* Important Stuff: This is the Image that I want to Call "The Bible of Guo Lai Halls" <- Click Here to see it full size. It's important for the next things I am gonna say.

1. Where is the Caches Location - Check the Image Above.

2. How to Go there and Survive the Room of Traps?
- First enter the entrance. Then Look at the Color on your server, from the Image Location called "Example Tile" REMEMBER THAT COLOR. After that Head to the Room called "The Vaults". When you get there, Step ONLY on the tiles colored by that "Example Colored Tile" from your server, or you will die. You will see in front of you "The Caches" part. Don't go there yet, coz there are 4 Caches covered by mist.
How to Remove the Mist? Following that color, find a way and locate "The Orb" (check the image) in the room. Click it.
When you Click it... the mist is removed and you have all 10 Caches.

3. How to Open without waiting for respawn?
After mist is gone... you see 10 caches in place in a circle or so. Open the caches in circular movement, either clockwise or counter clockwise. That way you won't be needed to wait for respawn and u can make infinite opening circle.


Part 5 - Best Gold Farming Addons, Macros, Keeping your Inventory Clean, Auto Selling Addons, and Indicators of Items Farmed, etc... Best Practices of Addons for Making Gold <- Link for the Part 5 Video.

*This Part will not cover the Make-Up addons That I use, or Auctioning or something. (Ex: Bartender, TSM, etc) - I will make another guide "TSM Mastery" that will cover that Part.

1. Addons That I Use
- Bagnon - Keeping your Inventory as 1 Bag and looking sexy.
- BankStack - Sorting your bags automatically, You can setup ignore list of which parts to not get moved, and stacking the stacks properly.
- CrossRealm Assist - Mother of all Transfers without spending money, server hops, etc...
- FarmIt 2 - Farming Indicator, Can include banks items, etc. (How many keys you got total in you and your bank, etc etc)
- TrashCan - Auto Vendoring / Destroying according to a trash list or quality.

*Optional:
TSM and Xloot - Helping visually, and giving value of items and such.

Everything of these addons are explained in the video. - Unfortunally for some of the videos I cannot explain textually coz it requires visual representation of what I am trying to say, so I will let the video explain you.


Thanks a bunch for being awesome guys, and if you need anything else to be fixed / added, say it below, and I would be glad to answer / fix it.

Thanks for sharing

Tried running this for 2x Potion of Luck for a total of 40 minutes. Came out with a total profit of 1600g, including potential AH sales (of Spirit Harmony, etc).

Don't worry bro, pleasure to help, BUT! If you are running for that low amount of gold... then i think u are doing something wrong.

40 Minutes with Tailoring should net u at least 700 Windwool cloth after opening treasures. If that is the case, than you are not couting ur mats properly

Post some feedback on how it went after this!

[husobaba1903]

What's best class for this(for fast and efficient farming ? I currently have DK,Hunter and Shaman.

Out of those u mentioned, I would put my bets on Hunter! But remember... u gotta remove some gear if u are overgeared because if u one shot them... u will spend more time looting around than farming So multishot should Pull them... not kill them

u finish them when they gather around u!

Cheers mate!

P.S. Remember... gotta get tailoring as well, coz it's kinda required for efficient farming, My next guide will be tailoring guide in 5 minutes and cheapest possible

Hello Umren,

I've been watching your videos for a while and they are very useful and I think you do a great job.

I want to share my results after 1 hour run with potion of luck.

I used 3x Potion of Luck.

In 1 hour, I had 34 keys. After opening chests;

Sold all green, gray items and foods ets, I earned 2230 raw gold.

550 windwool cloth (sold 85 silver each on AH) 457 gold.

13 Spirit of Harmony (AH) each 45 gold= 585 gold

95 black trillium ore (AH) each 2.5 gold = 327
58 white trillium ore (AH) each 3 gold = 174

And another 500 gold from green tea leaves (made health potion as you suggested) etc.

A total of 4273 gold. It is still quite a nice amount but not 8k like you said.

First I am going to give u a big shoutout for trying it ... and well done for the analysis mate.
Now let me explain something.

First: I bet u didn't had tailoring as suggested for the farm as IMPORTANT part, right?
Second: Your spirit of harmony can be sold for 100g at least each if u followed the part3 on AH, either as leg armors, or making imperial silks, or whatever profession u got.

and you would have had like 7k at least right there from Imperial silk, Spirit of Harmony increase, and the Extra 500 gold u would have taken from windwool

Also... when you farm try to take bigger time samples like 3 hours or 5 hours so u can make statistical analysis.
Out of 1 hour... anything can happen, RNG or something is highly dependable when u farm only 1 hour.

Get tailoring with the guide that I have posted recently and start farming with it... for 3-4 hours.
Tell me back how much u have improved

Cheers mate and glad u like my content!

Hey Umren love your video bro

Thanks

[Umren]

Hey Umren love your video bro

But i just have a question : do you have a picture of the road for farming ?

Thanks

I had somewhere mate... but I guess by following the Part 2 you will pretty much master the route yourself.
If you want really bad a picture, I can probably try to make one, but I assume just watch the video and draw the points from where I explain in it, and u can make it for yourself easy, so you don't wait for me, coz I have almost no time these days for any free activity!

Cheers mate glad u like the vids

[MysteryBoi]

Can you confirm this is still working before i drop herbalism for tailoring and would you say a boomkin or hunter would be better for this ?

[Umren]

Can you confirm this is still working before i drop herbalism for tailoring and would you say a boomkin or hunter would be better for this ?

It is still working I am using it on daily basis to get some raw gold.
Boomie is best by far now... Monk is 10-20% slower, everything else just pales in comparision

Cheers!
