[Skinners] Few-Several hundred gold 45 min - 1 hr

[Granujas]

I am aware that people know of this area, but it has come to my attention that not enough do, and they are really losing a lot of gold by not farming this area. So please, take this information and bring in the gold. Hope this helps more than disappoint

WARNING: This takes SOME commitment, do not come in this thread and end up all whiny because you thought this was some gold dupe trick, it is a GUIDE.


Okay, here is a guide for skinners. My 70 rogue is a skinner and I found this place on some old thottbot forum or something. Now it seems to me, not many people know of this place, and well, if they skin, they are missing out. Cobra scales can sell from anywhere ranging 25-35g (sometimes even more on some servers, rarely will be found in this situation though) And everyone tells skinners "Go to SMV, farm the serpents, tons of gold!" Only a few problems with this spot.

- Adds, not just 1-2, Schlitz loads.

-The drop rate of these scales is just utterly disturbing, I have farmed at this spot for hours on end and sometimes only end up with four scales. 8 if lucky.

-Spread far apart, the serpents are put into groups of two spread out among the Naga camps in Northern SMV and in the Naga caves, which is a horrible cave, so many adds.

Well these problems will now disappear as you start farming skins in this much better area.




I circled the area in red for you, it is up on a hill, You NEED a flying mount. I suppose you could put a lock through the pain of getting them to summon you, but that's another story.

The red dots are the locations (just eyed them out, but pretty much right on the dot) of these neutral snake serpents, they WILL NOT attack you unless ofcourse you attack them.
There are birds up here that are shown as enemies, but they just flee from you, so no adds up here on this cliff .

Now for the snakes marked near the Twilight Ridge there are adds, casters for the most part, and an elite 72 I believe, some guy for a quest. I suggest this area only for rogues and druids, since stealth, but you easily evade the mobs with a flying mount and pulling the snakes. But as I said before, the ones in the enclosed area marked in red, it is mob free, very fast re-spawning on the snakes.

Now, if it is a good day, you can literally run into 3 scales in a row... which is really really good. I managed to get ten in 45 minutes once. On my server, that is about 350 g, which isn't all that bad, oh and did I mention these little bastards drop epic patterns and blues like no tomorrow?

I managed to get a few blues in that 45 minutes, jacked me up to 700g. The drop rate on nice items seem a lot higher with these snakes, weird I know, but true. Many people have experienced this, and many have ended up with a 900g BS pattern.

All in all, I made 1000g in about 1.5 hours. Which to me, is freakin' awesome. I got my epic flyer that night (this was a few months ago) Farming for about only 5-6 hours.

That is all for me for now, I hope this helps some people out with their epic flyer or that really nice boe epic they have been staring down on the AH for a few days. Bye!

At this area? You could do it at 68 if you get a lock to summon you up, otherwise gotta wait until you get your flyer, keep on playing though, won't be long until you start using this

flying there now, +rep if its a good spot

Edit : looks good, +2rep for you

[Granujas]

Orange / brown / white snakes, and if you're a druid then you can fly at 68* just a fixer from my above post

Edit: Also, if you're a miner, I see quite a few nodes up there quite frequently, so if you're a miner check it out, and tell me if there is anything good up there

Well its a repost but im to lazy to find the old 1 +Rep

[Wolfly]

I knew it, but 2+Rep for posting something that I think is awesome.
I usually cut around 250 - 300g a hour, once got a epic drop which net me in 600g as well.
This spot is epic.
Edit: Given out too much rep

[xQzme?]

+rep for this epic place

[heke01]

O_O I spent 2 hours there as my rogue got only 12x leather 30g/each

[b2zeldafreak]
