How to make 250+ g in 30 min:
Take one 80 tank, one 80 healer and two 80 dps. Go to Shatrath. Fly to Doom lord Kazzak. Kill. ~130 g.
Mount up. Fly ower to Shadowmoon and Doomwalker. Kill. ~130 g.

Also, sell the BoE items that dropp (2 from each) on AH and get another 400+ g. (That was on my server, EU Kazzak. 100g a piece was probably a little cheap.)

Did "Rituals of Power" last night with my mage. Getting into the monastary solo was easy enough. Right up till they start coming at you 2 by 2. On my 2nd rez there was a lvl70 hunter and his pet that was awesome enough to tank me through it. Even though I only wanted the one item the dudes like "well take this and that and if you don't want then sell or auction later". Blew me away. I cant wait til I get to that level so I can go return the favor to some one else. I guess cash flow at that level isn't much of a problem for someone like that. Anyway OK NOW GET BACK TO WORK lol

I've done that a couple of times. Dude was quite probably looking for the Achievements. Couple months back, I was grinding my way through old world dungeons on a level eighty just for the Achievements, and I typically dragged someone along for the sake of there actually being a point to it.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #1203 on:** 12 May 2009, 14:54 »

People do that and put it on FFA not to be nice, but because there is no point in looting, at that lv the loot isn't worth stopping to rclick, if someone loots it for you, you still get half the gold.

0bsessions · « **Reply #1204 on:** 12 May 2009, 15:03 »

Pretty much. As long as they don't lag too far behind you, it'll get them easy crap experience. I actually had an occasion running Rachel through Razorfen Kraul where she was low enough she leveled once or twice.

Lines · « **Reply #1205 on:** 12 May 2009, 15:10 »

Yeah, I've been thinking of going through all the old dungeons and getting the achievements, even though I did most of them and should already have the achievements. But hey. It'd be an easy way to get a bunch of trash and it's always fun to see just how fast you can kill things around half your level.

0bsessions · « **Reply #1206 on:** 12 May 2009, 15:17 »

It's so easy to get careless, but you'll probably do better than I did. I'd never done any of the dungeons, so I didn't know anything. The first trouble I ran into was Scarlet Monastery. I got careless and got mobbed at the end of, I think, the Cathedral. I managed to survive it, barely, but I wasn't so lucky when the same thing happened in Dire Maul and Lower Blackrock Spire.

Alex C · « **Reply #1207 on:** 12 May 2009, 16:34 »

That's pretty understandable if you'd never done the Scarlet Monestary before. All the adds past the Cathedral gate are linked to Scarlet Commander Mograine; no matter how you engage him, any mob left standing will come to his aid.

0bsessions · « **Reply #1208 on:** 12 May 2009, 16:37 »

Yep, I learned that one the hard way. Seeing as how I ran it on my own, I didn't see the need to go around killing everything, I just headed for the boss. I whacked him, he went down in one hit and then suddenly I had a few dozen 30 something elites on top of me. I went into bear form, popped survival of the fittest, berserk and bark skin and just started hitting swipe and mangle like a madman. I barely survived. The same cannot be said of when I pulled the exact same idiot move in Dire Maul and was raped to death by trees.

Alex C · « **Reply #1209 on:** 12 May 2009, 16:44 »

Yeah, that's one of those situations where the sole drawback of being a bear tank becomes readily apparent. Against heavy hitters shield block isn't that incredible, but against a ridiculous number of pokes block is pretty godly and easily more than makes up for the (relative!) lack of armor warriors/paladins have compared to a kitted out bear.

Lines · « **Reply #1210 on:** 12 May 2009, 20:22 »

Well, it turns out I can run Stockades in 15 minutes. Oh starfall, typhoon, and hurricane, how I love thee. Damn it feels good to be a boomkin.

And yeah, SM library and armory are pretty easy to solo (I've run guildies through it before and it was cake) but I don't know about cathedral. I will try it and see, but if I've ever got the inkling to do DM, Scholo, Strath, BRS, or the other upper classic instances, I'll just offer to run people through. Right now I'm just going to do the ones under level 40 and see how those go and work my way up if I really feel like it. Also it'd be fun to get Jenkins.

Alex C · « **Reply #1211 on:** 12 May 2009, 22:18 »

Cathedral's actually pretty easy and I used to do it fairly often as a hunter at 60, although obviously it helped that I knew not to pull the whole room at once. It's really only a problem if you're just bulling through the thing and happen to be OOM/hurt when you activate the entire room. Personally, as a rogue, all I need to do is hit FoK and Evasion and I can take on the whole interior at once and win very, very quickly.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #1212 on:** 13 May 2009, 06:28 »

1 pulling SM cath is funny as shit, thunderclap and shockwave then keep shield block up they hit like flies before dropping like them too. Demoralising shout makes it even better.

Covetous · « **Reply #1213 on:** 13 May 2009, 06:46 »

Consecration, sealf of light and holy shield. But paladins are a bit op in those situation imho.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #1214 on:** 13 May 2009, 10:06 »

Anyone with AoE can do it, mages with arcane explosion, DK's with D&D and unholy swarm, rogues with fan of knives... it's not hard to do but the most fun I have had was on a prot warrior doing it.

Alex C · « **Reply #1215 on:** 13 May 2009, 12:15 »

Prot warriors are fun to do that kinda thing with mostly because you definitely get the feeling that you could go afk grab a coke and still be standing when you come back. Whereas with my rogue I actually, you know, take damage. On the upside, I mowed through them so quickly that it bordered upon being anti-climactic.

It's the Barrens. What'd you expect, fun and cupcakes?

Well after dumping skinning for mining, and mining roughly two deposits because I have level nothing of mining I cant help but think that was a bit of a fail for money making.

That being said, off that 25g investment Im now sitting at a pretty much full upgrade to all my gear and about 150g-170g and own the Large Radiant Shard and Wool Market

Lines · « **Reply #1218 on:** 14 May 2009, 05:47 »

You just have to keep mining. Stacks of copper ore (or any ore really) will make you quite a bit of money, trust us. Just make sure to leave it as ore and not bars.

So since I'm partially stupid and couldn't seem to find the entrance to Deadmines (I always followed people, shut up), I did SM graveyard and library instead! It was also really really fun to kill about 10 elites at once with two spells and not have much damage done to me, I'm not going to lie. Now I just have to get someone to let me into the locked parts, because I don't seem to have a key for whatever reason. Also I made more money out of Stockades trash than I was expecting, because for whatever reason wool is in high demand right now.

philharmonic · « **Reply #1219 on:** 14 May 2009, 06:47 »

Could it be us grinders killing all the sheep for wool? I went just outside of Stormwind to try out some new stuff on the defias there. Ended up targeting a sheep by accident. Some other guy was there and he's like "oh sure loot those guys BUT THE SHEEP IS MINE!!!"

0bsessions · « **Reply #1220 on:** 14 May 2009, 09:58 »

Linds, have you finished the boss in the Armory yet? She drops the key to the rest of SM.

And nothing beats sneaking into the Stockades Horde side all by your lonesome.

Lines · « **Reply #1221 on:** 14 May 2009, 12:06 »

Apparently not, but I will do it again because I honestly don't know why I don't have that key.

Actually the key is in a chest in the room where you fight the last boss in the Library.

0bsessions · « **Reply #1223 on:** 14 May 2009, 12:12 »

I meant to say Library, considering you need that key to even get into the Armory. I thought she had it on her, though.

Lines · « **Reply #1224 on:** 14 May 2009, 12:22 »

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn it. No wonder I never got it. GUH. I'll run though it again though, Library is insanely easy.

Last night in trade, people were talking about lynching and then about bacon in attempts to change the topic. This is why I never hang out in cities...

Got the SM key and finished the last two wings in about 45 min last night. Where to go next... maybe sneak into Ogrimmar?

Dirge and willy seem to be popular on this server, on SWC it was all about the thunderfury.

Downed Yogg in my 10 man tonight. Also did Hardest mode of Council!

Ulduar is the most fun I've had as a healer since the end of Black Temple.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #1230 on:** 19 May 2009, 13:18 »

I like raiding with my guild, I also like watching scrubs, but when they are one and the same...

It's shit.

Covetous · « **Reply #1231 on:** 25 May 2009, 00:49 »

Finally the guild have enough people online to do naxx25, and whoopie LOOT for me!
T7.5 Shoulders and Chest, new boots, and neck. Sad part is that a warrior who was dps but tank in mainspec stole the shield from patchwork.

Also some random healing plate but haven't healed since level 40 anyway.
Edit: oh and new waist as well. Hopefully I will be a bit better as off tank in ulduar now. Oh and head as well! Damn, was a good run yesterday.

So far I have seen Yakob and Jon and Linds on Ravencrest. Come to me, my pretties. You shall all be mine soon.

hey guys remember when we were all going to make toons on khaz modan? whatever happened to that?

i do have one on ravencrest though, an orc warrior named naraikona. (yes, another warrior. gonna try speccing arms instead of fury this time though) if anyone could help me out with some bags and gear, that'd be fantastic. i am really in desperate need of bags. i have none whatsoever.

also, i am finally going to get around to buying wrath of the lich king soon now that there's a point in me having it. i can has death knight?

0bsessions · « **Reply #1235 on:** 31 May 2009, 17:08 »

I made an alt on Khaz Modan back then, but I was still leveling my main at the time, so I never went anywhere with him.

Alex C · « **Reply #1236 on:** 31 May 2009, 17:43 »

I jumped ship to what is one of the very few functional raid guilds on my server now, so I doubt I'll be active on Ravencrest.

20 jazz funk greats · « **Reply #1237 on:** 31 May 2009, 19:02 »

active? nah, probably not but i am there and we can chat and quest together and whatnot. it will be be fun times?

do we have a guild or not so much? i kind of ended up joining a random guild because this guy just offered to pay me 2g to sign his charter but i ended up staying there cause the people are friendly and not total noobs. so yeah.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #1238 on:** 01 Jun 2009, 05:50 »

5 bosses into ulduar and we are kinda stuck now, every week it seems we steamroll the first 5 bosses with no problems then BLAM! no more progress. Crap.

In other news, dual boxxing triple xp is awesome, undead warrior/priest is pretty good and so is druid/shammy + anything.

Alex C · « **Reply #1239 on:** 01 Jun 2009, 13:03 »

A couple friends of mine decided to come back to warcraft and abused that system recently. Apparently they set up a mage twobox and simply shared the accounts until 80 and then each took one of the mages as their main. I can easily imagine how being able to portal AND summon eachother along with standard smart hearthstone use could keep time wasted on training and turning in quests to a minimum. Apparently a lot of the downtime disappears once you've got enough firepower to simply burn mobs down without having to dink around with crowd control as well.

Yeah, my guild is 7 kills in with what I kind of think of as our A-list group but when we don't have all our top guys available we occasionally have a rough time getting past 5 or 6 kills. In terms of raw skill I think most of our raiders are actually pretty evenly matched (we rarely if ever screw up the kinds of things that lead to immediate deaths), but we do have a few healers and casters who are a bit undergeared for various reasons which has resulted in making the endurance matchups like Ignis a bit nastier than they should be, which of course then leads to having less time to really work on the fights that REALLY give us a trouble. It's a good thing that gear is easier to fix than idiocy, so a few more naxx/Uld10 clears will make the stuff that really should be considered pure farm a bit cleaner and quicker.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #1240 on:** 02 Jun 2009, 13:43 »

Mind you we did it with 3 priest healers, no shaman and maybe only half of the people were A list...

Hit+crit dps gear with ulduar gear stam and str would be lovely to tank in...

Alex C · « **Reply #1241 on:** 02 Jun 2009, 18:20 »

Yeah, see, my guild if anything lacks priests. The good thing though is that we have a druid as second in command of the guild and a holy pally that is an absolute horse. I know holy paladins are often seen as one trick ponies, but a top flight tank healer who's deft with Beacon of Light is pretty much priceless.

I was bored today when a pug H-VH group said they needed one more dps. The group turned out to be a microcosm of WoW's problems in general: 3 incompetent death knights, 1 mildly elitist rogue (me!) and a horrified Holy Paladin. All plate, all the time baby! That said, the Holy Paladin actually turned out to be really good. This was fortunate thing since only the DK tank was scraping by with 1k DPS; the other two were flailing around with their Titansteel Destroyers to the tune of 800 and 700 respectively. All told, I ended up doing 54% of the group's total damage and probably could have done more of it if I wasn't desperately spamming every threat reduction I had (yes, including feint!

) to keep from eating any more pavement. The really hilarious bit? The Holy Paladin and I carried the group to the point that the DKs praised everyone lavishly and spoke of friending all of us.

The Argent Tournament is fucking fantastic for casuals. This week, I've gotten my Staff of Feral Furies and I've managed to pass the 3,000 gold mark for the first time. Between the AT and Sons of Hodir dailies, I've made around 1500 gold in two weeks without even touching the auction house (Though now I'm using my abundance of borean leather to sell bags on the AH for a little supplemental).

Llewellian · « **Reply #1247 on:** 12 Jun 2009, 07:03 »

Yeah. Gotta love them dailies.

Btw: When you love it casual (and you are no priest), empty all your bags, turn on Autoloot and do Stratholme single. Depending on your skills, it takes (even for a clothie) about 10-20 mins per run. 50-100 g in coin looting and selling runecloth in AH brings a little fortune per each run. And the rest of the crap sells good at every merchant. Oh, and you get the chance on the Barons Horsie...

Lines · « **Reply #1248 on:** 12 Jun 2009, 08:50 »

Just that miniscule chance of getting the Baron's mount is the only reason I ever helped pallies out with their quests in Strat.

I am thinking of reactivating my account... Oh dear.

0bsessions · « **Reply #1249 on:** 12 Jun 2009, 10:44 »

That Strat strategy is rather server dependent. Runecloth sells for shit on my server, so a Strat run isn't really worth the time.
