first off, this is a repost of
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-gu...ta-chests.html
(credit goes to him)
although it gave the main points on how to do it, there was more to chest farming there (like nodes and herbs) so i thought id try and update the guide cause i found it really helpful but the guy didnt get much recognition (and i checked to see if it was reposted). its little nicer with more pictures and info, and i tried to make it as easy to understand as possible (probably a little too much), but anyways here it is:
its fairy decent money for hunters that are bored of grinding/farming, (on illidan) the blues sell for anywhere between 30-60 gold each, the greens DE into 2-5 arcane dust or some greater planar essences, and the occasional blue gem just adds to it. usually you get about 30-35 gold on top of whatever you get (which is usually at least 1 blue, 4 greens, maybe a stack of pots and some gems/scrolls and a blue gem), it might not seem like much but you can go through 5 runs (max amount you can do every hour) very quickly with very little downtime
not too sure if it is possible in heroic, the mobs pretty much aggro everywhere(and yeah i know i mispelt a lot of stuff, including the title lol)
pictures are pretty self explanatory, but if i missed something i guess i could add it in
edit: k i made a video of doing each of the three chest spawns
