3k Gold per Hour - Jade Forest Grinding!

[Maccer]

Alright, so, I came across this method a couple of days ago, and decided to share it with you guys since I've gained some pretty good amounts of gold.

---

First, a brief introduction.

Location:
Jade Forest, Windward Isle

Requirements:
Level 90 - Can be done on lower levels, but GPH will also be lower.
Skinning - Also strongly advised, but can be skipped (GPH will drop significantly.)

Optional:
Plate wearing character (DK, Pala or Warrior).

Alright, what we'll be doing is a simple Grind --> Loot --> Vendor Filter --> Auction House --> Profit.
We'll be grinding three types of mobs located in the Windward Isle:


The three mobs we'll be grinding are:

The Slitherscale Ripper

Saltback Yearling and Saltback Turtles

Saltback Turtles are level 90 mobs with 470k hp, which drop Raw Turtle Meat, and occasionally, two epics. We're not that interested in these turtles as we are for the other two mobs, but since they come in pack, we'll grind these two. The thing with these is that they're skinnable so they're not a complete waste of time.

Saltback Yearlings are mobs which spawn along with the Saltback Turtles, but these ones are easier than the rest. They have 160k hp, are level 87 - 88, and have a significantly better drop than the turtles. There are 238 drops, among them is the Raw Turtle Meat and a bunch of greens and some blues. These are also skinnable.

Slitherscale Rippers are mobs with 400k HP, are automatically aggroed, and are also a great profit. They drop Windwool Cloth, some cooking ingredients, and most importantly 8 rarely dropped epics.
Bonus: If you're a rogue, you can pickpocket these, they drops some high-priced junk.

So what do you do? Grind them, skin them, go to a vendor, sell junk, go to AH sell your shit. And there's your profit. They respawn extremely fast so that won't be a problem, they also spawn all over the border of the isle.
All of this is much easier as a plate wearer, as you can pull 15 of them all together and slay/skin them in no time. Being a caster will prolong the slaying for a bit.
After an hour of farming I collected:

• ~ 100 Spirits of Harmony
• 100 stacks of Exotic Leather
• 50 stacks of Prismatic Scale
• 12 stacks of Trillium Bar
• 250 Greens
• 3 Blues
• 3 Epics
• Shitload of cooking stuff
• 800g of junk

It helps if you have a portable mailbox and a mount vendor. Helps you sell junk and fix gear if needed.
Update: Use Potion of Treasure Finding for more BUX! (thanks Aestysu)

That'd be all folks, hope you enjoyed and good luck grinding.

Yes, it may seem like the luckiest thing ever, but I did. Of course, this is what dropped for me, you shouldn't count that this will happen to you too, but it might. The gold from the other stuff is the major gold anyways ,this was a lucky hour.

100 spirits of harmony or 100 motes?

[Balthier]

Hopefully its 100 motes, otherwise it would be insane!

[Aes]

Don't forget to take a potion of treasure finding as well

[Alfalfa]

Is there AOE skinning, like looting is?

+rep! Wish you could get skyshards from any mob in pandaria though

Nope, no AoE skinning .

100 spirits of harmony or 100 motes?

It says in my notes that it is spirits, might be wrong tho.

So? There's no way I could ever plagiate that video, it has 160 views. The method was shown to me by a guildmate. While trying to search for the video to put in the thread, I found his mat list and copied it out. I didn't bother with motes and spirits of harmony, so I just copied that part out, the other stuff was obtained by me. Decided to share it and contribute by writing the guide by myself. Yes, there are a few typos but everyone makes mistakes. Also, that copyright made me lol IRL. Even if it was valid, read this:

It actually is a repost. The spot has been around the entire expansion and there were multiple videos explaining it in the past.

So yea your guild mate told you about it, yes it is a good spot. But you claimed to have tested it yourself and instead of saying "i copied the mat list from someone else who farmed here for 10 hours" as an explanation to the person who asked you simply said you wrote them down as that and didn't remember.

So what you just said makes you look bad my friend.

This is Ownedcore, he's contributing and you're just trying to cut him down. Why don't you take a leaf out of his book and try help the community instead of trying to damage it.

Whether he is the original creator or not, I'm pretty sure nobody cares. He's just sharing with us all.

+Rep from me.

[Yavanna]

Thanks for sharing this.
+rep

ps: Do these mobs give Lesser Charms of Good Fortune?

edit: I can't give you any more rep at the time >.<

Almost all mobs with a drop table can give LCoGF
