WoW mud dolls, made by a fan in China
The use of the term "mud dolls" threw me for a second here, but I think the folks at MMOsite mean clay dolls, as they have posted extremely cute little WoW figurines made out of clay. What fascinates me is that not only are these cute and really stylish, but they really capture each race and class-- the Blood Elf really does look snobby, while the Dwarf looks like he's had an extra ale or

Make Gold at Level 30 on World of Warcraft
How to make some gold with a horde toon at around 30? One of the most effective ways that I have found is to take your toon and send him or her through rage fire chasm. What you will want to do is get as many green items and linen cloth you can. If you are not a tailor/enchanter then you will want to make a level one toon and train them with these skills. After you get all the green items and

Jewelcrafting Guide, part 2
Okay, so here's part 2 of my jewelcrafting guide. First of all, let me say this: Jewelcrafting lets you cut gems, and make jewelry. I will be focusing on the gems, because it is the best way to make money from the profession.
Pretty simple rules for Jewelcrafting. First, get to 350+ as soon as possible. (Search my blog, I linked to a good guide some time ago. Or Google it.) Once you are at 350, the fun begins. But first, I have bad news: trained cuts and vendor recipe cuts don't sell for a huge deal. Sure, they sell, and you don't have anything else to do with your raw gems, except for sell uncut ones to other jewelcrafters. So, you can make some money by selling those unremarkable gems.
Now, the REAL Jewelcrafting moneymaker comes from cutting gems from dropped recipes. Unfortunately, that means you have to be lucky enough to get one, or have the stomach to buy one. These things can cost from 200 to 500 gold, depending on the recipe. Now, unlike some professions that have lots of cooldowns, in Jewelcrafting only cutting a Meta gem causes a cooldown, and it's only for one hour, and doesn't keep you from cutting non-Meta gems. So, once you get a good recipe (or recipes), you'll be able to buy an uncut blue gem or purple gem, cut it, and resell it at quite a nice profit. Try that with alchemy transmutes!
Jewelcrafting is fairly cheap to level up, but yes, it does require some investment in the end. It takes money to make money, people! But any time someone upgrades their gear with something with sockets (which is most good gear), they need new gems for it. There is ALWAYS a market for good gems, and if you bite the bullet and buy/find a great recipe, you'll rake it in.
Now, which recipes? First of all, in the course of your adventuring in Outlands, you're going to get rep with various factions, and some of them sell recipes! Here are a few to watch for.
Quick primer on gems. Which color gems can have which stats:
You can also craft meta gems from Earthstorm Diamonds and Skyfire Diamonds, which are made by Alchemists. But these are expensive to make, and not as efficient or as easily sold as the blue ones, in my opinion.
For a complete list of ALL gems, with stats on mouseover, go here.
And for a handy graph of what gems have what stats, go here.
Now, market value will vary some, but some gems are clearly useful for many classes, and so are worth more. General rule of thumb seems to be gems with multiple stat bonuses are better than ones that focus on a single stat (with the exception stamina). I've decided to turn that into a third post, due out soon. Really, the problem is that with all the different classes, builds, and gear sets, almost EVERY gem has a place, and a certain degree of demand. But I will try to go over the most commonly bought ones.

Jewelcrafting Guide, part 1
This is part one of a guide about how to make money using Jewelcrafting. I'm going to copy a bit from a previous post I made!
First of all, the most straightforward way to make money with Jewelcrafting is to prospect ore and sell what you get. Following is a list with the necessary skill levels:
Really, this is a fairly straightforward thing, but it requires some work from you. Focus on prospecting ore that has the best chance to yield whatever gems (especially blue) are selling the best. On my server, that tends to be Noble Topaz (about 50g a pop, uncut), but it will probably vary.
Conceivably, if the prices are right, you could turn a profit from simply buying a stack of 20 ore, prospecting the entire stack, and selling what you get. Experiment!
My next post will focus on cutting gems, and which are the most profitable.

Miners Trick with Felsteel
Here's a quick little trick I have found decent success with as a miner. Get some Fel Iron from Helfire Peninsula - it's all over. Make Fel Iron Bars. Now, hit the AH and look for Eternium Bars. It takes 2 Eternium and 3 Fel Iron bars (4 Eternium ore and 6 Fel Iron ore) to make a Felsteel Bar. I usually find 2 Eternium bars for 3-4 gold. So, I pay the 3-4 gold for it, smelt a bar of Felsteel, and turn around and sell that for 12-15 gold! It's a quick trick, very easy to do, and as long as you aren't overpaying for the Eternium, it's always a profit.

World of Warcraft Gold Guide Tips
One of the most important aspects of World of Warcraft is having enough gold while playing the game; without it you will find yourself slowly progressing through the levels. In World of Warcraft, gold can be used for training, buying new weapons, armor, and sundries. In the beginning, most things for your character only cost copper or silver pieces, but as you gain levels, equipment and training

Mining in Nagrand
One of my friends was, at one time, a very dedicated WoW player. He could put so much time into it that it baffled me, and still does. I can only go for maybe 2 hours of play at a time, and usually only once a day! My friends, through a combination of question at 70 and mining, made the 5000 gold for his epic mount in about 3 weeks.
Now, I've already done a post about questing at 70. If you've got the stomach for it, grind as much as possible. That will leave you with tons of quests to do at 70, and you'll get gold for each. I may, if I can stand it, do that with my shadow priest, once I get there. I'll definitely keep track, though, and post the results if I do.
Now, mining. The best place to mine in Outlands is Nagrand. Almost all the nodes are adamantite, or rich adamantite deposits. I did about 30 minutes there just now, and got got 27 ore, 20 motes of earth, and 4 eternium ore. All told, that's about 70 gold. I know, 70 gold an hour isn't huge, but it's RELIABLE. I'm going to put this money to use in the Auction House, which I still think is the best way to turn a little money into a lot. I'm going to start keeping a log of what I do with a starting amount of 70 gold or so, rather like Derek's Gold Project X. It'll be an interesting way to show Auction House tactics, and it'll force me to not be lazy and abandon it! Thoughts?

Reselling With a Twist
I've been investigating one of the suggestions left to me in a comment: find items that can be bought, re-worked into something else, then sold for a profit.
The results are going to disappoint you. Given the variable pricing of different servers, different factions, even different days, prices are just too variable to say: "Here are some items that can be bought low and crafted and resold, always."
Really, the best way to approach this kind of thing is on an individual level. I can say, with some authority, that there are very few instances where you will be able to reliably make a big profit by buying materials and crafting them into new items to sell for profit. There are some notable exceptions, aside from just hoping someone stupidly sells something for too low:
Rare Crafting Recipes. Yes, those blue and purple schematics, plans and patterns that you see selling for hundreds of gold. If you're really going to make it work, you need a rare crafting item. Everyone else can make the vendor recipes, and do, so even if you do find the materials for a good deal, the new item will be worth very little. Actually, it's often the case that the new item is worth LESS than the materials, because demand for raw materials tends to be higher than for individual items.
Okay, so let's say you have one of those rare patters, either bought (easiest), or found (pain in the #!@%$). I hope you did some research on what the item requires to be made, because you can get screwed here with a final product worth less than the materials. A good example that I am familiar with is shield spike recipes - these recipes sell for a lot. I almost never see the spikes themselves for sale, simply because so few people bother to farm or buy the recipe. The same holds true for other professions. If you see a recipe for sale, and notice that you rarely see that ITEM for sale, consider the market wide open. It does take some individual research, and you'll be out a chunk of change if you buy the recipe, but over time you stand to make it back and then some!
Really quickly, here are some little deals to keep an eye out for:

- Motes. Sometimes you can buy 10 motes for less than the 1 primal.
- Unworked Cloth, Ore: Sometimes you can find the raw form, work it into a bolt of cloth, fel iron, whatever, and sell it for a profit.
- Uncombined enchanting items: Anything that can be used individually, or turned into something else when you get 3 of them, 10 of them, etc.
- Alchemy ingredients to turn into potions

The Daily Quests
Okay, here we go, time for me to go over daily quests. If you don't know why they are good, here is why: there are about 15 daily quests over all of the factions, and they give an average of 10g or so per. However, you can only do 10 per day, so plan accordingly! This is how people usually get the 5,000 they need to get their flying mount! Anyway, here we go!
Netherwing Quests
First of all, you need to be Neutral with Netherwing to begin the daily quests. If you aren't neutral yet, follow this link to the WoWHead list of the quest chain, with lots of helpful comments! Netherwing is the faction that allows you to get a Netherdrake at the end of the long, long road.
Once you are Neutral (9 quests later), and have some sort of flying mount, you can do the dailies. Here they are, with links to WoWHead for details. I will include gold approximates, but if you want the real skinny on them, follow the links.
Netherwing Crystals : 12g, 250 rep
A Slow Death : 12g, 250 rep
The Not-So-Friendly Skies : 12g 250 rep
When you get to Friendly, more become available.
Picking Up the Pieces : 18g, 350 rep
Dragons are the Least of our Problems : 12g, 350 rep
Booterang: A Cure For The Common Worthless Peon : 12g, 350 rep
At Honored you can begin to do one more.
Disrupting the Twilight Portal : 12g, 500 rep
Two more become available at Revered.
The Deadliest Trap Ever Laid (Scryers) : 12g, 500 rep
The Deadliest Trap Ever Laid (Aldor) : 12g, 500 rep
Skyguard Quests
There are two Skyguard quest hubs, one north of Skettis in Blackwind Landing, and Skyguard Outpost, in Blade's Edge Mountains. You need to do do these prereqs before you can do dailies. Skyguard is the faction that allows you to get a Nether Ray at Exalted.
Threat from Above : 250 rep
To Skettis! : 10 rep
Now, the dailies.
Fires Over Skettis : 12g, 350 rep
Escape From Skettis : 12g, 350 rep
Ogri'la Quests
To do the Blade's Edge Mountains quests, you need to unlock the Ogri'la quest chain. The best 2 Ogri'la dailies also give rep for Skyguard, which is handy!
Speak With the Ogre
Mog'Dorg the Wizened
Even Gronn Have Standards
Grulloc Has Two Skulls
Maggoc's Treasure Chest
Grim(oire) Business
Into the Soulgrinder
Speak With Mog'Dorg
Ogre Heaven
There are two pre-quests to being able to do Ogri'la dailies (28, 56, Blade's Edge)
The Crystals
An Apexis Relic
Now for the dailies:
The Relic's Emanation : 12g, 250 rep, 15 Apexis Shards
When you get Friendly, do these pre quests:
The Skyguard Outpost
Bombing Run
Wrangle Some Aether Rays
That opens up Bomb Them Again! : 12g, 500 rep (Ogri'la AND Skyguard), 15 Apexis Shards
and Wrangle More Aether Rays! : 12g, 350 rep (Ogri'la AND Skyguard), 15 Apexis Shards
Once you get Honored, you can do Banish the Demons
Which opens up Banish More Demons : 12g, 350 rep
That's a lot of quests! I hope I presented it in a form that makes it easy to understand. As always, leave a comment if you need to point something out to me; I always read them!

Fishing for Motes of Water
Tired of grinding water elementals? Have a high fishing skill you never use?
Well, let's be honest. Grinding water elementals is probably the most efficient way to get motes of water. Fishing, great skill though it is, isn't one many people keep up to snuff in Outlands. However, aside from being able to fish for then cook some very nice +stat food, you can fish for motes of water, if you'd like a change of pace!
Fishing spots work a bit differently from other nodes. The best place to fish for motes of water is in Nagrand, in the 3 MAIN lakes (the 3 that almost touch, biggest on the map, hard to miss). Across all 3 exist about 30 pools of water (bluefish school, mudfish school, or pure water). When you fish one, it immediately respawns at another location, as one of the 3 types I listed.
Now, you want to look for the Pure Water, though you need to fish ALL of them you see, in hopes that when the spot respawns elsewhere, it will be pure water. There's about a 90% chance you'll get a mote of water from it. If you get 4 or 5 motes per pool at maybe 8 pools an hour, that's somewhere between 2.5 and 4 primal water per hour, roughly. The good thing is that fishing is somewhat hard to get to the level needed (about 450, preferably), and pretty annoying to boot, so your competition should be minimal!

Actually, on Thottbot it lists FIVE pages of potential drops.http://

New Chest Farming for Rogues
So, Blizz fixed the old Mechanar chest farming exploit, which flooded the market with world blues, and generally contributed to a large drop in price for many items. Well, someone has already figured out a new one for Manatombs, if you have a decently geared 70 rogue.
So, here's the thread on the WoW forums discussing it, and here is the link to a handy instructional video!
Have fun not-quite-cheating, you sneaky people. :p

One of the best fishing poles in World of Warcraft is the Big Iron Fishing Pole. Anyone who wants to max out their fishing ability is going to need it at one point.It only comes from one place and that is inside the cage traps on the ocean floor near the Horde town on the West coast of Desolace.

Azeroth Interrupted: Using WoW to teach children values
Each week, Robin Torres contributes Azeroth Interrupted, a column about balancing real life with WoW.Kids on the internet is (or at least should be) a pretty scary thing for parents. There are predators, perverts or people with questionable ideas that you just don't want to expose your children to.

Ragesteel Shoulders
Okay, here's one that's time based, but it works pretty well for now!
Everyone is all abuzz with the new recipes out in the 2.2 patch. One of the nicer ones if the addition of Ragesteel Shoulders to the Ragesteel set for warriors. The shoulders are probably the nicest part of the set, and at the moment, not many people have the plans for them. (Plans drop from the Enraged Air elementals in Shadowmoon). The materials to make them are pretty ordinary, except for Scroll of Strength V, which you need 2 of.
Ordinarily, that wouldn't mean anything. You can't buy them, and pretty much need to rely on drops for them. Now that they have a part in a nice recipe, prices have skyrocketed, especially because buying them on the AH is the only way to reliably and easily find them. Or is it? If you haven't finished up Zangamarsh, you might be in luck! Unfinished Business for the Alliance, or A Job Undone for the Horde, has FIVE of these babies as one of the optional quest rewards! So if you haven't done it, go do it! Put those scrolls on the Auction House, and underbid the competition by a fair amount. No matter what you sell them for, it's pure profit.

Gold from Light Feathers - Tips for the Low Levels
Light feathers are used as a reagent for both a mage's slow fall and a priest's Levitate. Just so happens you can start getting these at a very low level (lvl 8 birds to be exact), starting in places like Westfall and The barrens.The best part is they can sell for upwards to 4 wow gold per stack (20), well at least on my server.

PPP: Flask of Chromatic Wonder
Time for another PPP installment, that is a "Particularly Profitable Pattern"!
New patch (2.3), hurray! New content! I haven't done a post about pattern reselling in awhile, so here we go. The Flask of Chromatic Wonder! Probably one of the coolest sounding recipes ever. Quite useful, too. It is sold by Apprentice Darius, the Karazan vendor in Deadwind Pass. It also requires Honored with the Violet Eye to buy it. But, it doesn't bind, and a lot of people have no idea where it comes from yet! So, reselling it should work fine, especially to Alchemists who aren't running Karazan, and have no way of getting it.
Same routine as ever, folks. Buy some (seems like they are unlimited supply?), resell them to other players. This should work well, until everyone finally figures out where they come from. But even when they do, only people who run Kara will be able to buy it! So, expect these to sell decently for some time yet, but the best time would be right now.

AoE Farming in Silithus
A lot of people look at grinding for gold in Wacraft with faulty logic. Everyone is so gaga over Outlands that they never leave, or consider there might be places just as good in Azeroth! Well, they are partially correct. For sheer value of items, level of mobs, etc, Outlands is king. However, there are some great places in Azeroth where a level 70 can grind extremely quickly and efficiently, which makes up for the lower value of the mobs.
Case in point, Twilight Avengers and Twilight Geolords in Silithus. This is a great place, especially for Mages who can AoE grind effectively. Check the links above for the locations of these mobs -- the good thing about them is they are very densely populated, very weak (for a level 70 mage), and are HUMANOID. So, they drop silver, frequently drop cloth, and the traditional greens or maybe world BoE blue. Round them up, knock them down. Runecloth, which is what they drop, still sells very well on my server, and probably yours. (Used mainly for bandages and pre BC recipes). You can grind here safely, and with little fear from being ganked by another level 70 player, so enjoy the change of scenery!

Dirty, Dirty Trick
I was debating with myself if I should even post this Auction House trick. It takes advantage of the competition, which is fine. It has a decent success rate, also fine. However, it is very, very dishonest, and generally pretty bad form. I've only done this once, and I felt really bad about it, so I don't do it anymore. Unfortunately, it IS somewhat amusing on an immature, sneaky level, and it's an example of out-of-the-box thinking. So, here we go.
I made a post about an Auction House tactic where you find an undervalued item on the AH, and then post it in /trade for a normal sell value, or higher. The hope is that someone will offer to buy it without checking the Auction House to find the actual price. When you see people selling a plethora of blue items at one time and wonder where they got them, they either bought them and are now trying to sell them, or they're using this trick. Most of the time, people are smart enough to not fall for this. BUT: a lot of people still try to make this work, and that is what we're going to take advantage of.
Make 2 characters and jog their weak butts to an Auction House. Take a decent blue item, and list it on the Auction House for, oh, 25 or 30 gold higher than it should go for. Stay with me, I'm not crazy. Now, log on to your other toon. Get in /trade, and say something like "want to buy ****", whatever the item is, for even HIGHER than what it was listed for. Now, if you're lucky, someone will try to pull a fast one with the first trick I listed: they'll hit the AH, see it for sale for less than what you're buying it for, buy it, and try to resell it to you for your price. (It must be the ONLY listing of the item, or the person will just buy the one that is listed for the real price instead of yours!). Here's the dishonest part: once they buy that item (the one you posted on the other character), just log off, say you don't need it now, whatever. Now you've sold that item for way over its value.
Here's an example. Get Ced's Carver on one toon. It sells for, oh, 50 gold on my server. So, I could list it for 80 gold or so. Then I'd get on another character and say in /trade "WTB Ced's Carver, 100g". The victim checks the AH, sees it for 80, buys it, and tries to sell it to me, at which point I disappear. Voila, Ced's Carver sold for 30 gold over value. Of course, this wouldn't work with Ced's Carver, because EVERYONE is trying to sell one (mostly because of Rogue treasure chest farming). Try to do this with a more rare blue that people don't see frequently.
I do NOT recommend using this beyond maybe once to see that it does work. I do encourage this sort of unconventional thinking, though! Be creative and you can stumble upon some trick no one has thought of, and ruthlessly exploit it!

Auctioneer Advanced
As if Auctioneer 4 wasn't good enough, the brilliant folks of Norganna have released a NEW addon: Auctioneer Advanced. Don't be deceived by the name - it isn't an update for Auctioneer, it's a completely separate addon. As the Auctioneer Advanced info page points out, there is one thing you need to understand about this new addon:
Speaking of price data. Scanning the Auction House is not the only way to gather data for Auctioneer Advanced. Every time you search an item, whatever the Auction House returns to you is added to your data. This is nice, especially if you want to keep current on certain things, but don't want to take 10 minutes to scan. Also, there will no longer be the moment of lag at the end of a scan, before the sound plays. Hurray!
Also, the entire setup can now be done through a GUI: no more confusing slash commands! More on this later, in depth.
Appraiser! A new feature in Auctioneer Advanced that carriers an Auctioneer feature to its logical conclusion. Remember the button you checked in Auctioneer to remember your pricing? Well, Auctioneer Advanced does that automatically, for EVERY item you post. So the next time you list it, you can see what you sold it for last time, search the Auction House (and record new data for that item), and adjust your sell price accordingly.
Let's break it down into sections: first thing, the main auctioneer window. Before, you had to do a scan, then search through it according to PCT less, bid %, etc. Now, some of this info is built into the main Auctioneer window!
A lot of this is familiar territory.
- Your Auctioneer data will NOT be converted. Auctioneer Advanced uses a different database, and does not share data with Auctioneer. However, you can run it alongside Auctioneer with no trouble until you build up Auctioneer Advanced's database.

Let's break it down into sections: first thing, the main auctioneer window. Before, you had to do a scan, then search through it according to PCT less, bid %, etc. Now, some of this info is built into the main Auctioneer window!
A lot of this is familiar territory.
- On the far left of the results, we have the number of items in the stack.
- Next the item name, followed by the minimum level you need to use it (if any).
- To the right of that, we have "iLvl", a new feature. This is the "item level", which from what I understand is the estimated level requirement an item would have if those stats were found on a green.
- Next is "left", which is how much time is left on the Auction, followed by the name of who is selling it.
- Next is obviously the price. Bid price on top, buyout (if there is one), listed beneath it.
- Lastly, we have the "PCT" column, which means "percent". Basically, it is how much the item is listed for compared to how much it is sellable for, according to your data. As I only have a couple scans worth, Auctioneer Advanced is seeing these items for the first time, hence the "100%". They are being listed at exactly the same price as my data reflects, and my data contains only that price. The more data you have, the more reliable this value becomes.
- Note, there is no 'scan' button! You can scan by typing "/auc scan", or press the little "play" button on the top frame.
- On the far left is your item selection window. It shows a list of all your sellable items! Simply click on it in this window, and the info for it will pop up on the right-hand window. Now you don't need to search through your bags, looking for the correct icon! You can search by name; very handy.
- Under where it displays the name of the item are some sliders. The first is the stack slider. Here is where you can choose how many items per stack you want to sell.
- The slider beneath is for how many stacks you want to sell at the size you chose above. Look at the image I have: the first slider says "stack size: 5", meaning I want to sell in stacks of 5. Below, the slider says "number: 2 stacks = 10". Meaning, I will list 2 stacks of 5, for a total of 10. When I click to post the auction, it post 2 stacks of 5 automatically! Neat, huh? You can also set it to automatically list as many full stacks as you have items for, but moving the slider one click from the far right. All the way to the right will list every full stack you can, and whatever is left after that as a smaller stack.
- On the bottom right, we have the bid price per item and buy price per item fields. This is just where you put in your bid price and buyout price. Auctioneer Advance will do this for you once you have data for it, just like Auctioneer. "Per item" simply means if you're selling a stack, how much each one in the stack goes for.
- Now, on the bottom left we have the "pricing model to use" dropdown menu. Here's where it can get confusing. I haven't figured out the details of them all, but here's what they mean as I understand it, in order from top of the menu to the bottom:
- Market Value: This is the one we are used to. Lists the price Auctioneer Advanced thinks it can be sold for, based on previous auctions it has seen.
- Stats: Vendor Markup: If Auctioneer Advanced hasn't seen an item before, it will list it at 3x what a vendor would buy it for (as vendors are rip-off artists).
- Fixed Price allows you to specify what exactly you want to sell for.
- The other options are a bit more cryptic. As Auctioneer Advanced is new, there is not full documentation. I'll finish the list when I'm comfortable that I can explain them accurately. In general, use "stddev" or Market when selling.
- The very bottom window shows other listings of the item you have just put up (according to your last scan, that is.)

AoE Grinding in Shadowmoon Valley
Whoa, sorry for the long time between posts! The days just got away from me!
Here's a very nice spot for a level 70 mage to AoE grind and make some serious gold! Head to Shadowmoon Valley and go to the Ruins of Karabor. You're looking for Demon Hunter Supplicants, and they won't be hard to find because there are 15 or 20 of them, all close together, all level 70. Don't be alarmed! Blizzard, thankfully, has them training with each other, so they aren't all at full health. Being the sneaky, opportunistic type that we are, we will take advantage of this!
These mobs are mainly melee fighters, so if you're good at kiting with AoE, you'll have dished out some serious damage before they even get to you. I know they are all level 70, but if you know how to AoE properly, you should be alright. One thing to remember is that they respawn very quickly. Yeah, that's pretty great in terms of little downtime, but be careful they don't spawn on you while you loot the huge pile of bodies. Try to pull them a little bit away from where you found them, just to be safe.
Bits of silver from each mob, decent amounts of greens, and lots of Scryer rep items are to be had! Unless another mage is AoE grinding, there's really no reason for anyone to be here other than for doing quests, so competition should be minimal. Get to it!
Here's a very nice spot for a level 70 mage to AoE grind and make some serious gold! Head to Shadowmoon Valley and go to the Ruins of Karabor. You're looking for Demon Hunter Supplicants, and they won't be hard to find because there are 15 or 20 of them, all close together, all level 70. Don't be alarmed!

Grinding Advice for Rogues
Rogues, there are only 2 things to consider when looking for a good grinding spot: Are the mobs wearing cloth, and are they melee or casters? For maximum efficiency, they must be cloth wearers. You'll go through them much more quickly than beasts or armored mobs. If they are melee, fight a few to find out what kind of damage they do to you, and judge if it's worth it. If they are casters, well, you've got it made. Low health, squishy armor, and casts you can interrupt, what more could you ask for?
Now, there are tons of spots in the world to grind mobs, but most people don't need to grind until 70, as you're better off questing before then. So, I will offer my 2 favorite spots with squishtastic mobs, and good rewards. If anyone would like me to add spots for other level ranges, leave a comment and I will!
Deadwind Pass: The ogres in Deadwind (Deadwind Brutes, Deadwind Maulers and Deadwind Ogre Mages) are actually fairly weak. As a Rogue, you should just breeze through them. They drop lots of Runecloth, and of course, some silver and copper. The birds that fly around are weak in hitpoints/armor, but do decent damage and have a DoT they constantly use. Unless you're combat specced, I'd avoid them, as being dotted will ruin an ambushing Rogue's efficiency.
The Legion Hold, Shadowmoon Valley: If you haven't guessed, this is one of my favorite places ever to grind. Look for Wrathwalkers, as they are all over the place. They drop Netherweave by the truckload, also rep items you can sell/turn in. At the top of Legion Hold, where the infernals are, you will find Shadow Council Warlocks. These mobs are just too easy, and also drops tons of cloth and good greens. Low hitpoints, and all they do is cast Shadow Bolt. If you're 70, they will likely only get through one cast before dying, which you will interrupt anyway. VERY little downtime here, folks. The respawn rate seems to vary, but even with 3 people here at once, you will never have to wait for a target. The Warlocks in particular are a nice grind, as they have the chance to drop Recipe: Fel Strength Elixer, if you're an Alchemist.
Remember Rogues, bring bandages, bring lots of food, and bring empty bags. Enjoy the grind!

Farming Felcloth in Diremaul
I've said it before: the best thing about the expansion is that some items that were intended to be hard to get are now easy to get, and just as useful (expensive) as ever, or even more!
So, here we apply that to Felcloth, which is used in high level Tailoring and Leatherworking recipes. It tends to be very hard to farm, dropping rarely off of Satyr type mobs. However,
the Wildspawn Satyrs inside of Dire Maul enjoy a 5% drop rate, which is rather decent. At level 70, you should have no problem tearing these guys apart, as they are only 54-55 elites. So, check out the Felcloth prices on your server. If it's worth it, this spot is my recommended grind spot! Anywhere else, and you risk interruptions, PKing, etc etc.
I know, wussy post. Busy with school. Don't lose faith!

Disenchanting Halaa Vendor Items
Halaa is a rather annoying place to get into. In my experience, any time you want to get into it, it will be in the other faction's control. However, if you can get into it, and you're an enchanter, here's something worth your time.
The blade merchant for each faction (Aldraan for Alliance, Coreiel for Horde). They sell a limited quantity (3) green throwing item, the Avenging Blades or the Sharp Cookie, for Alliance and Horde respectively. Aside from being very decent green items for Rogues or other DPS melee classes, they disenchant into items worth rather more than the cost of buying them (2g21s). Disenchant them into Arcane Dust or Greater Planar Essences, and occasionally a Large Prismatic Shard!
This won't make you rich, folks, but it's a good way to level up Enchanting, and a good way to turn a quick profit if you're in Nagraand.

Enchantrix
Enchantrix is one of the many great Norganna addons available (same maker as Auctioneer!). Currently, it is in beta stages, and is not part of the Auctioneer pack, as it was in the past. When Burning Crusade was released, Blizzard made some changes to some key formulas for determing what an item will disenchant into, and so Enchantrix needs something of an overhaul. It can be downloaded as a fairly stable BETA standalone from this page.
The idea behind Enchantrix is simple, and much like Auctioneer, which you will need in order to use this as it is intended. Through many scans, Auctioneer gatherers a database of prices on all items it sees on the Auction House. That includes all of the enchanting materials. What Enchantrix does is check its database for what an item can disenchant into, at what % chance, and use Auctioneer data to turn out an estimated gold value of the materials you get for disenchanting it. The goal is that you find an item for sale for sale that can be disenchanted into materials worth MORE than the item.
First thing's first. Download Enchantrix, unzip to your Addon folder. Now, we need to do one thing before getting started. Go to your Enchantrix folder in your WoW directory, and open "EnxConstants.lua" with Wordpad. Look for the table labeled "const.StaticPrices". This is where Enchantrix gets the info on how much the Enchanting materials are worth. Change these to reflect the prices on your server to make Enchantrix more accurate. Please not that in the file, the prices are listed in terms of COPPER. 100 copper to 1 silver, 10,000 copper to 1 gold. Keep this in mind when fixing prices. If you want to change the price for a Large Brilliant Shard to 10 gold, that is 100,000 copper.
Make sure you enable it at the character select screen, and log in to your banker!
Enchantrix should load automatically. Just in case, type in "/enchantrix on". This makes sure that it will display the information on the item tooltip (mixed in with the Auctioneer data). Now, type" /enchantrix show" to bring up a nice GUI to mess with your settings. Generally, these are find how they are. If you change them and restrict the results you get from your searches, you're only hurting yourself. In the end, it's YOU, not Enchantrix who will determine if something is a good purchase. The program can't do everything. :p
Let's make some sense of what you're seeing. When you mouseover a disenchantable item, you will see something like this:
Obviously, the highlighting is my own. What do these values mean to you? Well, from the top
So, how do you make money with this? Here are the slash commands you need to know to search your Auctioneer data. Yes, these 2 are all you really need to know.
Also keep in mind, if something is listed at a high profit, say 20 gold, and there is a 10% chance of a Nether Essence, or something else very valuable, but a 90% chance of worthless junk, that 10% is inflating Enchantrix's estimation of the items value. Don't let Enchantrix do all the work! If you don't understand stuff like this, and just buy everything listed as profit, Enchantrix (like Auctioneer) will lose you money.
As one of my readers pointed out in the comments, Enchantrix isn't a huge Auction House money spinner. Like I said (also in comments!) it is almost always more profitable to sell an item than disenchant and sell the parts. But yes, sherretz has a good point in that perhaps the best use of Enchantrix is on random greens you pick up Thanks, sherretz, and for the number error too!
And I can't believe I forgot to point this out. If you're level 70, hit Scarlet Monastery or ZF, or Uldaman or another instance. Those BoE blues the bosses drop have decent odds on disenchanting into decent materials, probably worth more than the item itself. I did a post about Scarlet Monastery like that, if anyone is interested. Same principle works in any instance, but SM is probably the most efficient.
I'm going to do some more posts on this, including good Disenchanting items from vendors, and crafting ones if I can find some decent ones. See you later!

Let's make some sense of what you're seeing. When you mouseover a disenchantable item, you will see something like this:
Obviously, the highlighting is my own. What do these values mean to you? Well, from the top
- 99% Small Prismatic Shard x 1.0 -- There is a 99% chance to get 1 Small Prismatic Shard. (If a 2.5 or something comes up, no you won't get 2.5. You could get 1, 2 or 3 of them)
- 1% Void Crystal x 1.0 -- There is a 1% chance to get 1 Void Crystal.
- Disenchanting requires skill 225 -- Self explanatory. You need 225 skill to disenchant it.
- Disenchant value (HSP) -- This is the "highest sellable price", or an optimistic estimate of what Auctioneer thinks you can sell it for, based on information from past scans.
- Disenchant value (median) -- This is the value based on the average selling price in all historical auctions. It's usually the reliable one, as it's based on your ever-updated Auctioneer data.
- Disenchant Value (baseline) -- This is the value of the pieces as determined by a website like Allakazam or Thottbot. As those tend to derived from multiple servers, this may or may not be accurate on your own server. My advice is to ignore this value, unless you fixed the lua file as I explained above.
So, how do you make money with this? Here are the slash commands you need to know to search your Auctioneer data. Yes, these 2 are all you really need to know.
- "/enchantrix bidbroker
" -- Same as Auctioneer. So, "/enchantrix bidbroker 50" will return items that can be sold for AT LEAST 50 silver. If you put it 500, it would be the ones that sell for at least 500 silver, or 5 gold, so always think in terms of silver. - "/enchantrix percentless
" -- This will return items that have a buyout a certain % LESS than the disenchanted pieces are worth. "/enchantrix percentless 50" would return only items that have a buyout 50% less than the disenchanted materials could be sold for. Higher values yield higher profit results, but fewer of them
Also keep in mind, if something is listed at a high profit, say 20 gold, and there is a 10% chance of a Nether Essence, or something else very valuable, but a 90% chance of worthless junk, that 10% is inflating Enchantrix's estimation of the items value.

Primal Water and Primal Air for Alchemists
In response to a request, here's some info about primal waters and primal air.
Now, alchemists can transmute water to air, which is nice to have, as air can be somewhat difficult to farm sometimes. On my server, primal air is the most expensive primal of all, and the least available, likely owing to that it has no particularly awesome farming spot (use my search bar if you're interested, I think I covered good farming spots in another post). Also, the recipe to transmute primal water to primal air is indeed a revered reward from the Cenarion Expedition, so a huge amount of people aren't going to be doing it.
What it comes down to is patience. The cooldown on transmuting Primals is a long one, so it isn't as though you'll be making a ton of gold a day by doing it. But, you WILL make gold. Primals are one of the most easily sold items, in my opinion. I always sell mine through the trade channel, and they always sell well, if you undercut the AH by a gold or two. Again, the problem is simply time taken to transmute. If anyone wants to try this, my advice is to grab up multiple Primal Waters at the lowest price you can, and keep them in your bag to transmute whenever you can. When you market them in /trade, be sure to give the option of buying them individually, in case someone doesn't want "10x primal air!".
On a related note, you can also transmute Primal Earth to Primal Water, via a Sporeggar revered recipe. Primal Earth is just dirt cheap, because it's so easy to get. You can make a much bigger profit with this recipe, transmuting Primal Earth to Primal Water (in the neighborhood of 20g profit, on my server).

The Orb of Deception
I think one of the best things about the expansion for World of Warcraft is that at level 70, you can do a lot of things alone that you couldn't do at 60. Thankfully, no one bothers to do some of these things, so if you pull it off, you can make some serious cash.
Enter, the Orb of Deception. It's a trinket that transforms a member of one faction to look like a member of the other faction. I know, it's totally useless! But the "cool" factor, or the "I just have everything else" counts a lot here. These things go for 500 gold, easily. It's a rare find on the Auction House these days.
So how do you get it? Head to the Dire Maul Arena. Keep an eye on you chat window and wait for Skarr the Ubreakable or Razza to yell something: that means they are at the arena (takes a few hours to respawn, so go kill time mining or something while you wait, or farm the instance). Soon as one pops, go and kill it! They have about 10% chance to drop the Orb, but will always drop SOMETHING decent. Azeroth blues sell for TONS more than Outland blues, so you are guaranteed some gold!
If you aren't a caster who can kite, or a hunter, you may want to take a friend. Of course, if you have decent enough gear, burn your cooldowns and take some potions, you'll probably be alright.

Quick Linen at the Defias Windmill
Here's one for the lower level folk out there amid my scant readership.
Westfall is the best place in the game to farm linen. Linen, you say? Who cares about linen? Well, a lot of people care about it, particularly people leveling up tailoring and first aid skills. Linen goes for about a gold a stack, which is good money at lower levels.
The Defias Windmill is on the Northwestern shore of Westfall. It isn't noted on the map, but I have supplied a handy reference here. That isolated block of white dots is the windmill. Now, here's the kicker - the mobs here respawn more or less instantly (Defias Trappers and Defias Looters. They go down fast, they come back up faster. If Blizzard hasn't fixed this yet (and I don't think they have), they probably never will, so it's a good tip to know. You can farm tons of linen here, and small change in copper because they are humans, and they carry money. And of course the random green drop.
So, there you have it. For the low level trying to get some cash, or the any-level trying to SAVE some by not buying their way through the lower levels of Tailoring and First Aid. Happy farming!
