It was patch when tbc came out.
Definitely a nice little farm but as a shaman with Underwater Breathing and Swim Speed Belt I get around 16-19g per hour.
Was two other people but always had traps to open maybe my RnG is just good.
I don't see it mentionned here, but you don't have to take your breath out of the water, there are bubble in the water where you can breath, making it possible to never breath outside.
Also, if you're level 44+, you can grief other people by not killing the crabs that comes out of the trap. The trick to not get aggro is to position yourself so that you're at the opposite side of where the door will open.
So if you have competition, you can let other take aggro of the add while you loot the trap ! If no competition, well since you're level 44+ you just kill it quick.
Did it ever happened to you, when you're smoking a cigarette and you try to get it out from your mouth but your lips are so dry that your fingers go to the fire instead because the cigarette is stuck on your lips?
tried it again today with the swimming belt...managed to get 16 turnins instead of 13 from yesterday and had nearly no competition...stil at 10g...its not bad gold/h but the the title is clickbait in my opinion...lvl 49 btw with Hydrocane (underwater breathing)
Yeah clickbait but not so much 35g he is possible how many cages you hitting?
I did this with an undead mage for an hour.
I got 80 fish, and some trash items I just vendored. I got 10g total (including trash), but that was without swim speed and without underwater breathing (although undead have better breathing).
I was completely alone for 99% of the time, and managed to follow a route where I had no downtime on the cages.
50+ is just not feasible, you would have to get no mob spawns at all from the cages, and get 2 fish from every cage (and this is just not possible). Even then I don't think you would reach 50.
Although a bit click-baity title, thanks for sharing.
confirming what most others are - realistically seeing more than 15g an hour is impossible. Thunderfury has a bit of competition as it's a high pop server, but I was averaging 70-100 fish per hour, plus the junk. Rods sell for nothing.
Just to throw my hat in the ring...
45 Druid in Aquatic form w/ swim belt and no compitition early early in the morning... 20ish gold per hour.
Not bad, but also not great at this level.
Even after getting a high enough level to two shot the mobs that spawn, the water belt, underwalter breathing elixers, and no competition on the area for a full hour.. the max my hunter was able to pull out of here was about 12g, plus two fishing poles that sold at auction for 1g each. that also factors in vendoring everything after turning in the shellfish.
i still don't see how this is a 50g/h farm.
Even druids with swim form are reporting half that.
Op, what routing are you using (post a picture with a drawn on map) that allows you to hit 50g/h with this as a druid. TBPH im calling Sensationalized title on this
