Farming Dark Soil made easy (Tillers Friends)

[dylan1200]

Just wanted to share my method for farming the dark soil patches that can give gifts used to gain 900+ rep with the Tillers friends. Basically I have my settings at the highest, not sure whether this is really needed. I fly a good deal straight up and turn my camera veiw straight down so its literally a birds eye view. Then I strafe around the farming area where most of your friends are situated in their own farms and profit. Once you get used to knowing exactly the patch to look for, which really does stand out it becomes a very quick and easy method to farm these with your view covering a much bigger range than flying low.

Flying around low with the camera in its normal state was annoying as youre looking left, right back and forwards over a very small area. Heres a link to the approx height im at and a soil I can see on the ground. Its funny you can even spot anyone else below farming them and keep a track on where they are or have been. Hope it helps.

+Rep for the idea/guide, but really, A free tracking program does wonders ;p I guess this is good for those who don't wanna use them. =)

I've collected more dark soil items within 10 minutes this way than since the MoP launch! Thanks
I've also found that it works good to set all game settings to fair or low except distance view set to ultra - this way you can see the dark soils even clearer when flying up high.
