Ok, by no means will this BREAK the bank on farming gold/hr..
But, while I was getting my items ready for leveling some toons "I really enjoy leveling.. I think I have a problem."
One of the top things on my list to get was the Elixir of Ancient Knowledge
Allows 300% xp gains on mobs/quest for 1 hour up to level 84... You lose this buff is you die... So have a few of them or take extra care.

So I assembled the hunter teams and positioned them to farm.<br>I would be farming this elixir from the Rares in Nagrand [WoD], not just any rares. But the ones used for
The What - Partially-Digested Bag Has a CHANCE to contain the elixir.. SLIM Mofo Chance..

So I learned that I would also get EPIC loots off of every rare I downed on each of my hunters.
Those epic loots can be turned in for rep/repeatable quest. That also gives 30g and some silver.
The epic items stack up to 20x from each of the 8x Rares available. It takes no time to down them with my hunters ilvl 680-ish
But what also really ramps up that gold is some of the TRASH items that come in that lil Bag, namely this item here..
Complicated Wood It is a grey trash item with an incredible sell price.
That would be 95 gold... Also stacks to 20.. Yea, so when I do my lil all toons vendor trash. My chat window blows up with gold made. Sorta.

To make it just easy peasy and a breeze I suggest loading up your favorite jams on Spotify/Pandora/Youtube
Using the addons NPCscan and Cross Realm Assist
Then just go.
I enjoyed it these last 2 days maybe putting in 2-3hours total on that farm alone. I now have 4x elixirs for sure "account bound" possibly 2 more because i have not opened all bags yet.
Let me know your luck. "I wonder if potions of luck would help the drop chances??

What I'm aware of, that bag drop rate is quite small (10% ish) so one rare kill would be worth barely 50g (just the grey item) when boxing rare down in 5man team. ( 95g * 10% * 5 characters ) If the rares spawn fast, then I would see a good potential on farming them but..

Personal loot tables for each character is a superb thing when killing rares, and that's why I have put a lot of gold and effort for 10x Draenor Pathfinder, enabling flying in Tanaan Jungle on all my toons. For comparison, the four rares who drop Medallion of the Legion can be looted only once per day per character, but the droprates are much better ( 33% ish ) and the medallion value still goes over 3000g on most realms. ( 3000g * 33% * 5 characters summing up to 4950g per one kill when 5man boxing ) and 10manning doubles that kill value. Once I got 4 medallions in one kill :)

Of course you can't vendor the medallions, but they will sell quite easily :>

Yea, as I mentioned up there somewhere idk didNotReRead I didnt see this as a bank breaking move. But a decent side effect to my cause.
No Joke on that bags drop rate either.. Bliz nerfed it into the ground as at one point it was also 33%
Farming up those Elixirs of Ancient Knowledge in order to do some incredibly fast leveling RaF link + Heirlooms + Elixirs around 90 ish mins 1-90 leveling.

However, I shall park my teams over there for more medalion farming. Currently I have them scattered about. 1 Team in Nagrand "Elixir farming" 1 Team in Frostfire farming Garn Nighthowl mount" 2 others just sitting in their garrison farming gold missions. <-- Lazy boxers farming.

Yeah I'm not sure this stacks up too well with all the other stuff you can do with a team. Those elixirs are quite useful for leveling but have found the drop rate abysmal. Now that you can buy the lvl 100 versions, it just is a waste of time in the long run 'for me'. Farming medallions of the legion is some of the easiest gold you'll make this expac! For steady hourly gold- some people use LFR to farm Heart of Fear up to the first boss with treasure pots.

But thanks for sharing though. Always good to get out there and try something different!

You mean the lvl 91-100 Elixir 15min 300%?
Because my main goal was to get the ones that are an hour 1-84 300% xp increase.
If you pair it with a RAF link you can level a toons from 1-90 inside of 90mins. It is WILD to say the least.
