[Guide] (Dis)Enchanter/Rogue/Druid farming 150-300g/hour (Scholomance)

[MrYoda]

This was posted a while back on the druid forums. The guide posted here are my personal preferences for farming.

Requirements:

1. Enchanter
2. Druid or rogue (stealth-able)
3. Key to Scholomance (Skeleton Key)
4. Completed the quest chain ending in "Kirtonos the Herald"

Expected items after farming:

1. Large Brilliant Shards
2. Greater Eternal Essences
3. Illusion Dusts
4. Misc items

Steps:
Note: plan to spend 10-15 minutes for each iteration of these steps
I realize these notes may not be very clear. Watch the video, it is very clear
1. Zone in to Scholomance
2. After going down the first set of stairs, before engaging any mobs, stealth and jump down to the right
3. Make a 180* turn when you get to the bottom, and take the first hall to your left
4. Open the door there and go across the room, where another set of doors will automatically open for you
5. Go down these stairs, and sneak around the RIGHT edge of the room (there is a possibility here for you to wipe, due to the aura that several mobs give off) Watch for crazy skeletons running around
6. There is a torch on the rightmost corner. Activate this torch. Keep sneaking along the wall after
6. Kill Jandice Barov - make sure you decurse/cloak of shadows the curse she gives you. She will drop blue/green and a vial of blood for summoning
7. Sneak out of this room, going back the way you came
8. [Optional] When you get to the top of the stairs, take a right, go through the door way and fall through the hole on the left. Here you can kill Rattlegore for another blue item
9. Return to the room where you first jumped down. There should be a hidden room now open (from the torch).
10. Claim the chest for 2 greens
11. Head toward the entrance of Scholo
12. In the room with the summoners, take the first left in order to use the vial of blood to summon Kirtonos the Herald. (Note: your melee damage does only 50% damage, but your melee dots will still do 100% dmg). He drops 1-2 blues
13. [Optional] On the way out, feel free to kill the spectral researchers for the Lifestealing enchant recipe.
14. Run out of the instance

Link to my Stage6 video:
Stage6 · Scholomance Farming - Video and Download · Antmound
I killed Rattlegore, but did not kill the researchers.
This run took approx 9min 30 seconds (from the Thorns buff counter).
Sorry for the lack of video editing

Net result: 2 greens, 3 blues = illusion dust, 3xgreater eternal essence, 3xlarge brilliant shard.
Illusion dust = 2-4g each
Greater eternal essence = 10-12g each
Large brilliant shard = 7-9g each
Total: 53g (assuming worst case scenario: lowest prices, no other items besides enchanting mats)

You can reset instances up to 5 times per hour, so if timed correctly, you can do this about 4-5 times an hour. Worst case is about 40-50g a run, so that's 160-200g worst scenario.

I hope this helps!

If you kill Rattlegore, it may be useful to use the key and run to Ras, that bastard normally drops 2 blues per kill and isn't hard to solo @ 70 since he's stunnable (espically with a pvp trinket if you dont resist/interrupt the freeze spell). Good guide, will use during some downtime on my rogue for extra coin.

Nice guide, Strat is also nice for this, though this is much more effective.

I usually just run in strat through the back door, kill Hearthsinger (or whatever his name is), and the Unforgiven for 2 fast shards which sell for 10g each on my realm without having to clear any mobs. Also hearthsinger drops piccolo of flaming fire (again, "or whatever its called") which is always fun to have.

Takes like 10 mins and 20g+ a time, and easily soloed.

nice guide +rep (if i could give ;p) but u can do this easily with hunter too, or i guess with all classes, and when u kill mobs (Spectral Researcher) in scholo theres a nice chanche to have lifestealing recipe drop, goes for 100g on my server

I do this in Dire Maul East with my druid. You can do the whole run in about seven minutes. +rep, though
