Skinning for great gold!
Level 55+
Angerclaw Maulers
Felwood, X37, Y44.
I'm taking it upon myself to let everyone know about this because I have made a sickly amount of gold here latley, and a very disturbing amount in the past 2 weeks.
As a 60 Rogue in full epic gear(bloodfang) I can kill these in about 7 seconds each, literally. The respawn rate is insanely fast, When you kill the whole spawn camp of them which is about 11-12 and take a 1 minute break you'll start having respawns to kill.
Where does the money come from you ask?
First you have some stackable gray items that are very commonly dropped:
Large Bear Bone(Non-Stackable) - 14s 84c each
Bear Jaw(Stackable) - 8s 98c -- 89s 80c per Stack of 10.
Savage Bear Claw(Stackable) - 5s 78c -- 57s 80c per Stack of 10.
Bear Flank(Stackable) - 5s 78c -- 57s 80c per Stack of 10.
Wicked Claw(Stackable) - 5s -- 25s per Stack of 5.
Even without the skinning compared to most places this is a great camp for gold/hr. But skinning is where a lot of the money to come from if you want the good results.
You can skin Rugged and Thick leather off of these.
I take 8 hours a day and I run it here, Straight. Not every day, Usually in the evenings and into the late hours on the nights I'm not raiding and ocasionally if there is a third day I'll get up around 7am to start and I can be done around mid afternoon so I can enjoy the day or do something else in game.
A single hour run brings on brings me in 6 Stacks of Rugged Leather and 5 stacks of Thick Leather. I don't know if it's because my kill rate is fast or just pure luck, But I can't remember when I have come away from this with less leather then that in an hours run.
6x 2.50g = 15g per hour
5x 1.50g = 7.5g per hour
Ironjaw Basilisks:
Level:40+
Crystalvein mine is located in east from Gurubashi arena in Strangletorn Vale. You can make tons of gold by farming and skinning Ironjaw Basilisks in this cave. A rare unit called Scale Belly also spawns in the cave and can be looted for nice green items.
Devilsaurs:
Level:60+
Un'Goro crater is a great zone for skinners. Most of the beasts can be farmed for leather and it's even better if you can kill Devilsaurs (level 52-55 elites) as the skin of these guy sells for very high amounts of gold.
BONUS!!! (WEEHA!)
NOT LEVEL 60? (55+)
U can do it in 40+ to
Killing Ironfur Bear <-link
As i do with my hunter, as thats the only Skinner i have :P
The result are a little decreased, but still good!
Notice: They drop Bear Jaw, Vendor trash, but when u have many of these they give great gold for level 40, each one for almost 9s, then 10 of them is almost 1g, 100 of them is 10g :P
Herbalist?
Herbalism is a GREAT way of getting gold!
this is just one of many ways to make gold with it:
BLACK LOTUS, With maps!
Black Lotus is a very rare herb used by Alchemists to create mighty flasks. These flasks are very useful which is why Black Lotus sells for something like 10-20 gold a pop. Black Lotus grows on 4 different zones but only one instance of it exists on any zone at a time and it takes 1-2 hours for Black Lotus to respawn after being picked up.
Skill needed: 300 Herbalism (i think)
Here's MAPS of the 4 Locations, they spawn:
Black Lotus in Eastern Plaguelands
Black Lotus in Silithus
Black Lotus in Winterspring
Black Lotus in Burning Steppes
Miner?
Yeah yeah! mining to, had to put it in :P
Copper Ore's is a good way of making money, they sell realy good on AH, and are easy to farm, i personally like The Barrens best, Just go to one of the mountains outside Ratchet, the one north or the one south of Ratchet.
Circle around the mountain and have ''ore tracking'' on and mine all the vains, make many stacks of copper ore, and sell at AH! works realy good!
Savory Deviate Delight (duh)
I think u all know, but you can earn some nice gold by cooking and selling Savory Deviate Delights. This isn't a particularry useful kind of a food but it makes you turn into a pirate, a ninja or a slime blob so there is a certain fun factor added to it and that's why it sells.
To cook Savory Deviate Delights you need:
1. Cooking skill of 85 and a fishing skill of 30. You'll be fishing for Deviate Fish near or inside the Wailing Caverns.
2. You need the Savory Deviate Delight recipe. It seems that the recipe can be dropped by pretty much any mob in Barrens so you'll need to do quite a lot of grinding to get it. An another option is to buy it from the Auction House to save time.
3. Next go to the Wailing Caverns on Barrens. You can catch some Deligate Fish outside the instance but preferably you should fish inside the instance as well. The waters near and inside Wailing Caverns have about 30% drop rate for Deviate Fish.
4. Now you are ready to start cooking Savory Deviate Delights and selling them on the Auction House. This should make you some nice money but it depends on the server of course.
Level 44-48 Powergrinding in Tanaris (another Duh!)
Duh! because this is ''common knowledge'' :P:P
but i go on :P
There is a Southsea pirate town in eastern Tanaris. The place is called Lost Rigger Cove and you can get there by going throught a tunnel. The place is full of level 43-45 pirates who should be very easy to farm on high levels. These guys drop some nice silver, Mageweave and Silk Cloth and also have a good drop rates for blue/purple items for such a low level mob which makes grinding them worthwhile.
