Orginal guide : Guide: Mechanical Chicken Farming - 16,000g+ For 2 Hours of Work

this is basicly a copy of his guide, I don't do this for the reputation as I'v put so little effort in getting it over here, but I do think this is one of the best ways to earn the starting capital. Do you have more then one 85 this could means you could obtain alot of gold, doing not to much effort once you learned it.

I'm not one to farm very often. Shuffling, flipping and professions generally yield better GPH. Once in a while, high-yield farming is discovered and I may try it out until the well runs dry. Did you know it was once possible to solo farm AQ20 for Scarabs and Idols? This would yield 500GPH in Vanilla WoW. BWL was also a prime spot for any skilled trio interested in making gold (Elementium Ingots). This too, was a high GPH exercise. I consider such farming spots worthwhile and surely most goblins would agree.

I'd like to share another high GPH farming alternative. It is by no means a breakthrough discovery. What makes this profitable is the efficient method that I'm going to describe.

We're going to farm [Mechanical Chicken]. This pet is obtained after completing a series of quests, and thus cannot be farmed conventionally. Logistically, the quests are a nightmare that could take you up to 2 hours to complete. The pet is quite rare (I've flipped a couple myself) and may be more valuable than you think. TUJ has the pet's mean at 5000g, add another 1000-2000g for patient and smart sellers. This guide covers non-conventional "farming" that involves carrying other players through the prerequisite quests, and buying the Mechical Chicken off them at a discounted price.

Here's the plan;
Find four level 50+ players whom have yet to complete the final quest.
Drag them through a series of quests.
Collect valuable reward in exchange for handsome pay.

Step 1 - Forming the Party

Copy the following message onto your clipboard:

"Sorry to bother you, good sir. Would you be interested in making a quick 1000g? It should take about 45 minutes. If not, thanks anyway "

Run a /who 60-69 and message players until you've found four willing to come along for the ride. Only grab lowbies as a last resort - they generally don't have flying mounts. Also keep in mind that 50 is the minimum level required. Ask them if they've completed the mechanical chicken quest. If they don't know, they need to make the following
two macros.

/run f,z=CreateFrame('frame'),{[836]='The Hinterlands',[648]='Tanaris',[25476]='Feralas'};f:RegisterEvent('QUEST_QUERY_COMPLETE')

hit enter then make this one.

/run local s,t;f:SetScript('OnEvent',function() t=GetQuestsCompleted();for c,v in pairs(z) do if t[c] then s='' else s=' not' end print('You have'..s,'found OOX in',v) end end);QueryQuestsCompleted()

Hit enter. You will see three lines of dialogue now showing you which quests have and have not been completed:

You have not found OOX in The Hinterlands
You have not found OOX in Tanaris
You have found OOX in Feralas


Step 2 - Blast Through Quests

The next step is to carry everyone through the quests. I wholeheartedly recommend doing this with a mage, if possible. Porting around just makes this so much easier. You can also recruit a mage into your group - toss him/her an extra 100g for the taxi service. It's important to do each quest systematically, and to make SURE that every player picks up the quest item when it drops.

Each quest starts from a randomly dropped beacon. You'll need to head to three different zones, kill mobs until the beacon drops, and complete the quest started from said beacon. Make sure to tell the party NOT to start the quest until everyone is ready.

The beacons drop in isolated zones;
OOX-09/HL - The Hinterlands
OOX-17/TN - Tanaris/Zul'Farrak
OOX-22/FE - Feralas

Notice the acronym matches the zone where the beacon drops?

The procedure for each quest is straightforward. Head to one of the zones listed above, and start killing mobs. Eventually, a beacon will drop that everyone can pick up. It will start the quests Find OOX-09/17/22, asking you to locate a lost robot chicken. Once you find the chicken in question, each members should turn in the quest. Then, an escort quest is started and group members should be prompted to start it. Do NOT pick off stray mobs - the chicken will run toward them and slow quest progress. The quests are not sequential - you may start in whichever zone you desire. Hinterlands -> Tanaris -> Feralas seems like a logical choice. Here's what I recommend doing (Alliance);

1. Start from Ironforge. Fly to Hinterlands and complete OOX-09/HL (don't head to Booty Bay until all quests are complete).
2. Make a portal to Dalaran, and jump into the portal to Caverns of Time. Complete OOX-17/TN. Zul'Farrak is a good spot to farm the beacon.
3.Fly to Feralas, complete OOX-22/FE. There is a cave mid-map and according to WoWhead the Yetis there have a high chance to drop the beacon. In fact, I obtained a beacon on my very first kill here:

4. Make a portal to Theramore, fly north to Ratchet. Take the boat to Booty Bay.
5.Complete An OOX of Your Own and collect your mechanical chickens.


Tips and Tricks that is not in the orginal guide.
- The macro I posted is a newer and more understandable then in the orginal guide
- taking 1 person at the time will speed you up if you got a two person mount these days as the fact is that both Tanaris and Hinterlands drops are not that easy to obtain, Ferals is an instant drop though.
- Selling the pet may take time, but it is guanrantee profit if you buys it for 1500gold or less.
