hey guys, firstly this is my first guide (if you call it that) so please dont flame me. if you wish for screenshots just ask below and ill get you one.
Stratholme SC: well i cant tell you this from a druid point of view as i am a 70 rogue, however i do believe this will work if you have imp stealth. Remember 90% of the mobs in their can detect stealth however because your level 70, you need to get close to them for them to see you.
You Will Need
Plenty of Food. mage food FTW
Maybe some health pots if your a just hit 70 geared player.
BIG BONUS = ENCHANTING
Firstly when you enter just stealth through all the mobs and take a left and then right a right turn. as you stealth under the gate, the gate closes and many rats come, however they cannot see you and after 30 seconds the gate re-opens so you dont need to kill these. carry on through the gate and take a left turn heading towards the humanoid mobs. kill all the humanoids one by one remembering to use sap on a mob. they dont hit very hard, just remember to keep eating after each kill. after these mobs are slain, the first boss called "Timmy" spawns. 1x Evasion, blade flurry, SnD, Adrenaline rush and hes down no problem at all. he does hit hard so dont use evasion until your CS has ended. he will then drop one blue item which if your an enchanter you can disenchant into a large brilliant shard. on my server these sell for 10g each. remember all the humanoids you kill can drop a Righteous orb (normally 5 drop per run and 1 in guarenteed to drop off second last boss) these sell on my server at 40g each however my server is quite cheap so prices vary.
We then enter the huge building whatever its called
remember to always sap the initiates as they heal, and kill the warriors/monks first as they do hurt. no CD's are needed to kill these mobs. once you have killed two packs, remember that the skeletons come which can easily be killed with just a blade flurry. you then continue to kill each pack as you go remembering to kill the mini boss in the one room also has he could drop a righteous orb. when you come to "Cannon Willey" room, you kill all mobs in their until you get to the boss. "Cannon Willey" envolves using 1x Evasion, Blade flurry, SnD and an adrenaline rush, however i am good geared so two of these for poor geared people may help. he drops two blue items running at 10g per shard.
You then carry on back where you were killing packs of mobs until you get to the second but last boss. i cant put down his name as i have forgot it, however hes in a room on the left on his own. again he needs 1x Evasion, Blade flurry, SnD and adrenaline rush. he also hits like an Undead rogue which really isnt that hardhe also drops one blue item which is worth 10g if your an enchanter and is guarenteed to drop a righteous orb.
after this, carry on killing the last packs of adds until you get to the last boss. now dont get me wrong this guy is hard, but at the same time he is dooable. make sure to have a health pot ready and if you have some scrolls to buff yourself with, i would advise it. simply start the fight with 1x Evasion, Blade flurry, SnD and adrenaline rush. you probably wont get him down within 15 seconds so prepare to take damage. keep nuking him until he heals to 100% and changes form. after this, straight away hit preperation and then again evasion, blade flurry ETC ETC. make sure to use evasion before he fears you as he does attack you whilst your feared and it hurts. when you start the second phase, it may be an idea to use your health pot. i killed this boss with 2K HP remaining, however i am quite good geared. this boss drops 2-3 blues worth 10g each with enchanting as well as a chance to drop an epic recipe that usually sells on AH for 50g.
You can also choose to do this as a fast stratholme run which usually takes 30 minutes or less to kill all adds where "Timmy" is, and then kill "cannon Willey" "second to last boss" and "the last boss" (i aint good with names). this alone will get you 6-7 blues, 1-3 righteous orbs if your lucky and maybe an epic recipe. so taking a look at the loot, thats:
7 Large Brilliant Shards = 70g.
3 Righteous Orbs = 120g
Epic Recipe = 50g
Money from mobs/bosses = 8g
Huge chance of a random blue dropping = Priceless (lol)
30 Minutes Work = 250g
just to add, the orb of deception has a fairly nice chance of dropping here which on my realm sells for 350g - 400g. thanks for reading this and i hope it helps all of you. good luck making gold!!
