First of all guys, i'm sure this has been posted before. But just incase this hasn't been posted, i will do it ^^
Now everyone says mining is the best money making skill. But i've been mining for a while, and now i'm herbalism. I must say herbalism is much faster gold if you're a powerful solo class.
Myself i'm an affliction warlock.
Now there are 4-5 level 71-72 elites in skettis (looking like the wooden darnassus protectors).
When killed, they usually drop crap. But after you looted them the interesting part comes. Yes its possible to herb them :-) they drop exactly the same amount of herbs / mote of life / black lotus as the elites in serpentshrine cavern. 1 kill will give you like ~10g.
They drop 2-8 motes of life and 2-10 herbs.
the elites are NOT immune to CC. You can chainfear them, freez them, whatever you want.
As affliction warlock i dot, fear, lifetap drain life. No water needed ^^
The respawn time on them is ~5 minutes
Made more than 10k gold with it in just 2 weeks
