Making Gold with Pandaria Mats + Little Exploit
This is somewhere a guide but involves a little exploit, which was already public, than nerfed, but is viable again.
The benefit of this guide is that you have the opportunity to farm at your own speed. Even 2 minutes can result in 20k Gold.
A part of this guide will result in 500-1000g per minute depending on server price.
The main goal is farming materials for living steel. You have to create living steel with an transmutation alchemist. You need that. This Character won't farm the materials, but is used to craft them. Living steel is about 2500-3000g depending on server.
You will create living steel. Proccing the Living steel will be really really nice, but not mandatory for making profit. You will also transmute ghostiron bars into trillium bares. You will create living steel with 3 trillium bars + 3 spirits of harmony
The character farming materials should have mining. The only mines you gather will be rich ghost iron ores and trillium+rich trillium ores. This is only a benefit, but not a must. But it's really nice.
What you will do:
- Park your farming character + heartstone in townlong steppes.
- you will farm all the rares spawning there.
- farming means, you will check every spawnpoint, kill the rares, loot.
Here is the map: Rare Elites of Pandaria - 5.0 / 5.1 / 5.2 / 5.4 - Guides - Wowhead
You also want to kill the warbringers ofc: Zandalari Warbringer - NPC - World of Warcraft
Just kill everything that is marked with a star on the minimap.
You will fly to every location. It might be possible, that every mob is up or none. Nevertheless, it takes 2 minutes to check everything and the possible profit is huge. You can do that after logging in and checking your missions.
What you want to loot is:
Small Bag of Goods - Item - World of Warcraft (drops from any rare)
Big Bag of Jewels - Item - World of Warcraft (drops from one specific rare)
Big Bag of Zandalari Supplies - Item - World of Warcraft (contains any loot that can be dropped from a certain rare from that isle)
You basically always want the mining bags. The big and the small ones. The Big bags can contain up to 22 white and 22 black trillium ore, which are 44 ores aka ~4400g.
The smaller ones usually drop ~10 black or white iron ores, aka 1000g.
You will also loot ghost iron ore from time to time which translate into trillium bares later.
A rich ghost iron vein can drop 7 ghost iron ore, which are 3.5 bares, which are 0.35 trilliumbares, aka 140g. So its always nice to get that ore.
Long story short, just farm those rares after you logged in at your time. Repeat every 3-4 hours if you want to. (Respawn per mob is rougly 1hr, you can go hardmode and track all timers ofc). The best time for doing this is at the morning ofc.
You will end up with having many trillium ores, but no spirit of harmony. Now we get to the 1000g per minute exploit: Aka 60.000Gold per hour.
Let's assume you want to farm gold, you killed all rares. You simply fly down to the hearth of fear raid instance. Difficulty does not matter. You go to the first boss and kill all trash mobs. You loot. They will drop ~10 mote of harmorys. you should do that on one plattform because boss will become active and you dont want to pull him.
after you killed the trash you right click your portrait and set raid difficulty to hc or nhc, depending on what you entered. voila, the entire trash will respawn in the boss room. (YOU DONT HAVE TO LEAVE THE RAID FOR THIS, YOU CAN DO THIS RIGHT AFTER KILLING THE TRASH, INSIDE THE BOSS ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
you should pick a class that can leave combat, in case youre pulling the boss. (not needed, but useful if you do a mistake)
You kill the trash again (only the trash in the boss room!) and you set the difficulty back to nhc or hc. trash respawns again. You can do this every minute. WITHOUT LOCKOUT. you will loot on spirit of harmory every time. you can do this for 1 hr and like 5 minutes and go back to kill the rares which are up again.
This is very profitable. This whole farming has a part that is dominated by RNG (rares farming) and is very stressless and a part that isn't dominated by RNG but also very stressfull (farming trashmobs). You can choose your own speed.
Try it out for a week, park your twink in townlongsteps and check the rares from time to time, also try to farm heart of fear for 1-3 hours and check if you like it. hearth of fear method can easily be botted ofc.

Well, the biggest problems is exactly the RNG factor. On high population realms its almost impossible to find living rares, not to mention that the bags are not 100% drop, and even if they do drop, they have a high chance of not dropping required ores, but other pandaria mats which aren't exactly too expensive. This means, that the whole rare killing can be considered a nice bonus while farming ores, but by no means is it guaranteed farm.

Where is the Exploit part?
-
The exploit part is the Hearth of Fear farming while changing from heroic to normal and back - you can farm trash mobs in the instance without getting raid lockout, so you can get some spirits of harmony.

first part of his post yes, the second part no. Having unlimited trash spawning due to changing difficulty of raid without lockout is not intended

back in the day spirit of harmony was 50g and you farmed them with potions of luck. than it was nerfed to the ground, potion of luck was disabled and this spot wasnt viable anymore because the mote wasnt worth anything.
now its something completly different. but go ahead and post "NOT AN EXPLOIT" .... oh didnt work! than go post "REPOST!!!!111"

The heart of fear exploit got nerfed a bit and the trash no longer drops the original amount of greens/lockboxes/epics, and possibly even the motes too (i am not sure on that one). However, if you queue for heart of fear in the scenario raid finder it will still drop a ton of extras and you can just keep re-queuing. It's not as fast as resetting the difficulty, but you get a lot more loot while you're farming motes.
(raid finder npc is in the place where the artifact/scenario npc's are between the shrines)
