alright so one guy had a post on talbuks about their food as far as i saw, but that was pretty much what i've already done. but for further gold investment in the talbuks, just north of garadar, that horde town, between the mountain and the lake, there are a lot of talbuks here and they seem to have a fast respawn. so i sat here for 5 hours farming them counting, yes im a counter i need to know exact measures and % so i realized a little thing here, 1 in 20 drop a green that goes for about 3-7g to a vendor, and 1 in 407 drop a boe blue( d/e it or sell it on ah, either way about 20-30g) and further yet, 1/700, and it seems every 700 it goes up 3 from the previous that a recipe or pattern will drop, these pattern vary some worth 150, but i had one worth 750 that actually sold pretty fast. the patterns that drop were mostly tailoring though i had a few blacksmithing and lw, i had one drop that was a recipe to cut a soverign nightseye which sold immediatly on my server for 450g.
this works best for people who are very patient because in theory you make about 40g an hour, because you would need to kill 1 talbuk every 15 seconds in order to get 4 a minute, do the math, 4x60=120. each talbuk is guaranteed to drop something worth 11s + on top of the constant green and blue build up.
mages of course i haven't counted on these since they aoe like ****ing beasts. but you make a lot more.
if someone wants to comment a glider thing or some botting thing for this so you can afk over night, would be very nice.
sorry if this isn't what you expected, just a counter here and wanted to get the numbers out, talbuk is the most secure source of income by vendor.
