Instance Farming GPH Comparison Thread (Constantly Updated)

Gold Per Hour Comparison.

So I figure I'd put together a thread for instance grinding comparisons for the most benefitial gold runs.
This will be a constant work in progress & updating daily.
All runs are being done on level 90 Blood DK S12 PvP Blues - Results will vary obviously.
If you want two specific runs compared leave a comment with them!

Current Gold Per Hour Ranking:
Stratholme: 3,900+
Halls of Lightning: 3,200+
The Mechanar (H): 1800+
HellFire Ramparts (H): 1200+ (1/2 Hour)
Stoackades: 600+ (1/2 Hour)

Stratholme vs Halls of Lightning.
Two seperate expansions, two seperate level ranges. Both were pretty much bee line gathering aoe everything down runs, however Stratholme felt shorter. Both took only ten minutes which allows your full five runs per hour / reset cycle.

Strat - 10 Minute Run x5
200 in Gold & Trash /HR
320 in Cloths /HR
200 in Patterns Per Run (Not 100%)
700 in Raw Mats /HR
1000 in Gear & X Mog Sales Per Run
---->
3900+ Gold Per Hour. (Only factored in one pattern drop & 50% of gear value per hour)


Halls of Light - 10 Minute Run x5
455 in Gold & Trash /HR
500 in Cloths /HR
250 in Patterns Per Run (Not 100%)
600 in Raw Mats /HR
550 in Gear & X Mog Sales Per Run
---->
3200+ Gold Per Hour. (Only factored in one pattern drop & 50% of gear value per hour)


HF Ramparts Heroic vs The Mechanar Heroic.
Both of these are BC runs. Simple face roll aoe burn runs with no issues. HellFire is a lot quicker, a lot easier. The only issue with The Mechanar is unless you have some sort of stun prevention you will get cc'd by the mobs early into the run. They actually will do damage to classes that dont have heals so you'll want to be careful of your grouping size. The Mechanar has a built in hidden thing for the last boss where you must clear the adds from the top ramp as you run around before he spawns so dont just go to the end portal and leave before killing the adds & killing the last boss.

HellFire Ramparts Heroic - 5 Minute Run x5
225 in Gold & Trash /HR
200 in Cloths /HR
0 in Patterns Per Run (Not 100%)
100 in Raw Mats /HR
250 in Gear & X Mog Sales Per Run
---->
1200 per half hour


The Mechanar Heroic - 10 Minute Run x5
315 in Gold & Trash /HR
300 in Cloths /HR
0 in Patterns Per Run (Not 100%)
500 in Raw Mats /HR
300 in Gear & X Mog Sales Per Run
---->
1800+ per hour

i just wanted to ask about the raw mats,cloth,patterns ... the earnings are according vendored items , or selled on ah ?

[KitGFX]

All mats, cloths, patterns are AH based.

People eliminate 60% of their possible earnings by vendoring AH items that don't sell the first time around or attempting to undercut with no D>S market.

You can easily find your items true AH value via TUJ.

[reikame]

which stratholme exactly ? main entrance or the other one

[kibaky]

Can anyone explain how to get to strat?

[KitGFX]

Maint entrance. I had a dental emergancy yesterday, so I didnt get to post my other stuff up. Ill do it today.
Ill add the side gate for strat as well.

Its in EPL Kibak

[KitGFX]

Is there even any real interest in a thread like this before I continue?

[Grabberman]

yea id love to have a guide for instances to grinds

[anonimos1]

Yes there is, nice work

[Shodokan]

I'm confused why HEROIC versions of BC dungeons are being compared? Since you only get one lockout per day?

[mackank]

Any update coming up? Great thread!

[Bearkin]

Yeah keep it up. I like the minute count for a full run.

[siferxxx]

Great thread! Would like to know what bot you use and what profiles?

[s1gnal]

I had problems with selling some items that drops from instances. It takes just very long time. However im making gold by selling it, but its too slow. I know a place that if I remember correctly will get you 100g grey vendor per 10 minutes (600g an hour) + lots of other stuff that could take time selling. I just hate selling stuff on AH, it fills ur bags and mail and takes many months

[siferxxx]

hmmm. Is this viable with sor accs?
