WARNING: THIS IS NOT INSTANT GOLD SO DON'T FLAME ME! YOU MUST WAIT FOR THE AUCTION TO SELL!
WARNING: YOU ONLY GET THIS MUCH GOLD IF YOU ARE AN ENCHANTER. BUT DO NOT WORRY, YOU WILL GET QUITE A BIT EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT AN ENCHANTER!
WARNING: LIKE ALMOST EVERY GOLD METHOD OUT THERE THIS IS DEPENDENT ON THE PRICES ON YOUR SERVER. AGAIN, DO NOT FLAME IF THE PRICES ON YOUR SERVER ARE NOT VERY GOOD FOR THIS GOLD METHOD.
This guide involves Essence of Air.
It sells for quite a good amount on the Auction House if you are not an enchanter. On my server 20g. Or when there are none in the AH I put them in there for 30-35g each. You can get much more if you ARE an enchanter. If you see that your scrolls are not selling as an enchanter then go ahead and just sell the essence of the AH. Still good money. Read below for more info:
AT THIS POINT YOU NON ENCHANTERS WANT TO SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE THREAD WHERE I EXPLAIN HOW YOU MAKE GOLD EVEN IF YOU DO NOT ENCHANT. YOU WILL STILL FARM ESSENCE OF AIR. LOOK AT THE MAP OF SILITHUS OF WHERE TO GO TO FARM THEM.
Alright so on with the guide. What you want to do is farm Essence of Air.You guys all know that there is a demand for pre-BC enchants for the new heirloom stuff, such as 30 spellpower, crusader, etc. In this guide we are going to go for 15 agility. If you do not have this enchant, it is now VERY easy to get after the reputation gains have been quadrupled. To get this enchant you need to be honored with Timbermaw. Here is how to do that:
_____________________________________________________________
1. Go to Felwood and accept Timbermaw Ally (1400 rep) from Grazle (51.0, 85.0). Complete this quest by killing the Deadwood mobs in Felpaw Village to the southwest.
2. Take Speak To Nafien (100 rep) from Grazle (51.0, 85.0) and take Feathers for Grazle which is a repeatable quest.
3. Go back to Felpaw Village and kill more Furbolgs. You receive 20 reputation for each Deadwood Furlbolg you kill, in addition, Chieftain Bloodmaw gives 60 reputation.
4. Turn in feathers you get for easy extra reputation. After you hit honored, go buy the agility enchant formula from the Timbermaw Quartermaster Meilosh. (He is in the cave in north Felwood).
____________________________________________________________
Alright so you want to kill Dust Stormers in Silithus. Here is a map of where they are located (red box area):
_____________________________________________________________
Lets do some math:
Flying to Silithus from Org: 5 minutes
Going around killing them: 10 minutes
Total time so far: 15 minutes
Wait for them to respawn: Another 5 minutes
Go around killing again: 10 minutes
Total time now: 30 minutes
After 30 minutes I have 16 Essence of Air in my bags. Depending on your luck you will have 12-20 Essence of Air in your bags.
It takes 4 Large Brilliant Shards and 4 Essence of Air to make ONE 15 agility enchant. Buy the 4 Large Brilliant Shards on AH. On my server they go for about 2-4g each. But go ahead and buy them for even up to 10g and you will still profit. Put the 15 agility to weapon on a Weapon Vellum, Weapon Vellum II, or Weapon Vellum III.
Remember I got 16 Essence of Airs. I got enough for 4 of these enchants. I bought 16 shards and enchanted 4 15 agility to weapon onto 4 Weapon Vellums.
So Now I have 4 Scrolls of 15 agility to weapon after 35-40 minutes. Now what? SELL!!!!
______________________________________________________________
FINAL MATH
35 minutes of work as shown above.
4 15 agility to weapon scrolls.
250g each scroll on my server.
250*4=1000g in 35 minutes.
Please note again, this is not instant gold, you must wait for a buyer. When I said 35 minutes I meant 35 minutes of work that you did.
Why did I say up to 1250g in 35 minutes or as low as 750g? Because depending on your luck you will get from 12-20 Essence of Air within those 30 minutes you go to farm them. This is 3-5 scrolls. Meaning 250*3=750g or 250*5=1250g
PROOF OF SALES:
Some bastard price cut the scroll value by 50g!! and made me post at 194g!! but still very good profit with little work. After all .. I bought the 4 large brilliant shards for about 14g or something .. 184g - 14g = 170g profit here.
______________________________________________________________
FOR YOU NON ENCHANTERS
Instead of making these into enchant scrolls, you are going to simply sell these on the AH for money. On my server these go for 20g or you can put them in for 30-35g if none are in there.
Now lets do some more math (I love math
)
So you got 12-20 Essence of Air within 30 minutes.
12 Essence of Air * 20g each = 240g in 30 minutes
or
20 Essence of Air * 20g each = 400g in 30 minutes
This means 240-400g in 30 minutes!!
Keep in mind: its much more gold if you are the only seller. Sure beats the hell out of farming Saronite Ore doesn't it?6):
Happy farming/selling.
Hope you guys make as much gold as I have made with this.
P.S. : If the scrolls on your server are not selling fast at all then just go ahead and sell the essences. I guess too many people are being cheap on your server and buying mats instead of the scroll. You still make good money with this.
