Tutorial: Level 70 Stratholme Farm 300-400g p

[Blackguarde]

A couple of manditory things:

You need either be full combat with outstanding gear, or use a hybrid 5/31/25 spec with good to sub-par gear. Alot will be explained in the credits of the video. You will also need a minimum of 275 enchanting.

Questions and feedback appreciated it. Enjoy...

Haha nice 1 ;)

Mmm...Not bad but on my pally I just aoe everything into oblivion and it usually takes me about the same amount of time (35-40ish mins.) to clear live side and I get a whole hell of alot more greens which is where the real money comes in for this disenchanting bracket. LBS are still vaulable however but GE's (greater eternals) at least on my server actually sell for more not to mention that one green has a higher chance of giving you more than one GE than a blue has of giving you 2 LBS. I also perfer live side for orbs and crusader enchants.

Well on my server I sell constantly for the following:

20g Greater Eternal Essence

20g Illusion Dust x5

8g Large Brilliant Shard (Minimum of 8 per run)

After a few runs I have about 10 stacks of runecloth which I have a tailor use to create runecloth belts, which disenchant into 2-5 Dream Dust or 1-2 Lesser Eternal Essence. Then I get the occasion tier 0 BoE blue (Valor, Dreadmist, etc etc) that sell for on average 25g each. Then I also get the random blue smithing plans and items that sell at whatever the market value is.



So far Ive made about 7000g in about 50 Baron kills. So aside from not having a mount, its extremely profitable and its only going to get better once WotlK comes out.

Certainly you can make alot of good money they way you're doing it. I'm simply saying that I personally focus more on getting greens for the GE's and Illiusion Dust rather than the blues for the LB's. The eternals and the dust are more profitable than the shards. Not to mention orbs and runecloth tier 0 blue boes all drop off trash.

However as using a rogue the way you're doing it is optimal as rogues don't use aoe. When I'm using my paladin or mage though I focus on trash rather than on bosses. Either way its a great guide and well done video.

Last thing to consider is that at level 80 in Wotlk it's going to be loads easier for everyone to grind the zone. I'm actually thinking prices will drop for this bracket of enchanting suppiles. Perhaps not so much that it will no longer be valuable to farm Strat but I'm definitely thinking it's going to drop some while Outland enchanting supplies will raise some. But only time will tell.

On my server runecloth goes for 6-8g per stack - so even though I have a high level enchanter/tailor I just sell it on the AH. I have no idea why it's so expensive

When i saw this movie, i just had to try it "multibox style".
So i took my 4 shamen to Strat.
It all came to a great start : when i first entered, the world server went down. When i got back on the group was dispanded, and the shamen got caught in an instance each.
And as we all know.. When u enter strat, your not coming out alive.

A quick corpserun later, and i was back in business.
Loot set to master, and main was pass on loot.
First run was a complete drag, only 1 orb and very few greens.
Bored as i was, i decided to take 1 more run for the fun of it.
In total the second run, i bagged :
5 Righteous orb Sold for 60g each!
15 Greater Eternal Essence Sold for 18g each
28Illusion Dust Sold for 4g each
15Large Brilliant shard Sold for 6g each
Belt Of Valor Sold for 30g
Devout Gloves Given away (to a priest i'm boosting to 70 to join my arena team again)
Devout Bracers Given away
Jeweled Amulet of Cainwyn Not sold yet
Skullflame Shield Sold for 350g

Total of that 1 run : 1152g and an unsold epic. :thumbup:

With all the sparkling i had on a couple of pulls, i thought i still had FFA loot on ;)

How long did it take? Under 40 min.
Will you get the same result? Doubtful.

Still, its quite profitable, doing a 12min baron run and a quick living side usually nets 300g+ and when u find the rythm and use your cooldowns at the right places its done in under 30min total.

2 advices : 1. Use heroism ALOT.
2. Use the fire elementals early on living side, pull a load of undeads and pop them. Then use them again at the slaughter house, pull half the courtyard and use them, then pull the other side to the elementals.

Yea thats a pretty lucky run with the BoE stuff, even if you take all of that out, its still alot of gold.



I got burned out on farming the Baron and just did 4 zigg runs (+ rare spawns) an hour and my profits dipped only slightly. In only an hour or two a day of farming this place for the past 2 weeks Ive made over 10,000 gold (keep in mind this is solo, not multi-box). If I actually dedicated 4 hours a day to doing this I would not doubt have over 30,000 gold by now. But I am very casual.
