Glorious Plate Farming - 10k in 2 hours!

[Batesii]

Hello OwnedCore! I am bringing you another fun method of making some gold! For this method, we will be farming a transmog set call "Glorious Plate". Additionally, we will get the "Vanguard Plate" set, and the "Lofty Plate" set. This is not the main reason we are farming, but these other two sets are not bad either. Why is the Glorious Set so popular? Because it is the most beautiful female plate set! It can sell for over 10k a pop! -- this set is very sought after and can fetch insane numbers if you managed to find someone's missing piece! See below, you can decide for yourself. ^.^



Now, this guide will be focusing primarily on the "Glorious Plate" set (the gold one). This is the one which fetches the most gold, and will give us the greatest gold per hour.


Acknowledgments:

The methods I will show you are not widely known, but they can be found. There is currently no thread like this on OwnedCore, as a "Glorious Plate" search yielded nothing. Some of my information is taken from the site WOW Bots Gatherbuddy & Honorbuddy, so I give a shoutout to Zuabros from the Buddy community. He has created an Honorbuddy profile, which will endlessly farm the location, greatly reducing the effort needed, and is able to be run over-night. More will be on this later.

I also to apologize to the communities like Kuja's Wow Guide, who have this information in their "Restricted Sections". I believe in information being free.
Although I can't see the thread, it's very obvious what it is.



So I'm sorry to these communities for the release of information.

Now, on with the guide!


How to obtain the pieces!

**Glorious Breastplate**





The is the most popular of all transmog pieces, and is guaranteed to fetch you upwards of 10k.
We will be farming in AQ20, which is located in Silithus.

You need to go to the location shown on the map below, and look for the mob "Qiraji Gladiator". This mob is on an INSTANT respawn timer, meaning that you moment that you slay one, it will be replaced -- endless farming! There are two of them located next to eachother, and it is advised to fight both at the same time.



That is the mob you are looking for, and the location is shown on the map. To give you a proper idea of where they are located, see the below screenshot.



There is a pair of them guarding the gate between Moam's room and General Rajaxx's room. Just remember to NOT kill General Rajaxx, or they will no longer spawn! The chest will drop roughly every 1500 mobs killed, and assuming that the average level 85 can kill around 500-600 of these mobs an hour (ilvl 359), you should net yourself around 10k gold in 2 hours. Of course, better gear = better results.


I will update the remaining pieces tomorrow -- they are farmed from non-instanced mobs, and although not worth as much as the breastplate, they still can net you a hefty 7kish gold!

I love feedback! Happy to hear feedback, and would also love to hear your success stories with this!

*Don't forget, you can also disenchant the random greens you get for illusion dust/greater eternal essence/large brilliant shard, which are the most expensive variety of enchanting mats! (No one farms vanilla mats nowadays).*


Thanks everyone,
Batesii

You've definitely taken the time to do this point. Just thought i'd let you know that a similiar guide has been around since January. The Power Word: Gold Hatchery: Fast Respawn Farming in AQ20 by farli_wow

I've already acknowledged that this is public information. There are many communities like the one that you just posted that either have this in their elite sections, or just as a public tip -- hell, it's even on Wowhead. The fact still stands though, that this is not a repost, nor is it already on OwnedCore.

I would add that link to my main post, but it is just a picture tutorial about where to find the mob, not going in-depth at all.

You forgot to point out that there are other Greens that complete sets wich are on low drop change and those sell pretty good aswell . Oh and these guys drop 2 offhands that look like massive staves and these sell for 10k+ aswellEternal Rod - Item - World of Warcraft Bonecaster's Star - Item - World of Warcraft
Anyway , well written Guide . rep

Just did this. Farmed for about 1.5 hours.

Notable loot:
1 x Glorious Chestplate
1 x Vanguard Chestplate
Crap ton of 300-500g greenies + a couple of blues worth a couple of hundred.

All in all worth about 15-20k gold on my server.

Killed Kurinaxx and went around the trash from General and went on with the farming.

Did all this as a Retribution Paladin in 387 avg gear.

So I guess I owe you a big fat Thank You

Saw something about this on the Undermine Journal recently and I was pretty curious as to where this spot was. Thanks for sharing! +rep when I can.
Didn't get any of the listed items, but I got a few greens and blues that should sell well. I'd suggest, if you're running a bot to do it, that you use a ranged class - it can be difficult to loot them because of the knock backs as a melee, and if you're using PocketGnome like I am then you can't loot while being attacked; they re-spawn too quickly. However when MoP brings AoE looting (if this still works) then it will give even more gold per hour.

A Retribution Pallies are one of the best classes for farming, up there with DK's.
That's a really nice haul from only 1.5 hours!

If your realm forums are active you could pop a message up about the breastplate being for sale, as well as a little bit of trade barking that it's in the AH ^.^

Already sold the Glorious chestplate for 10k

I might keep the other one for my warrior if I don't sell it.
