But you can only do this on one account at a time right, since the clouds disappear when harvested. As a boxer, dailies would off a better return of gold for time invested I would think.

No, you place lets say your 5 shammys on 1 gas each, so that you every 6 min can gater 5x. 1 on each...

I like this idea as i have enginerin on my main shammy and ive been woundering if i want it on all of them for some fun in BGs with explosives and goblin rocket luncher.

There are 30+ different spawns in Zangar alone for Swamp Gas, and only 5 or so are up at any one time. Camping spawns isn't going to work.

This is wrong, I know for a fact because I camped an air cloud in Nagrand just SE of Telaar for over 2 hours last night while I ran AV on another account. :)
It spawned at the exact spot every time after no more than 5 minutes or so -- I ended up with 9 primals.

Also, there are not 30+ spawns in Zangar, they spawn in maybe a dozen locations and then roam around, so if you're looking at a Gatherer map or w/e then it looks like there's more spawns than actually exist.
For example this wowhead map: http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=3518:44...00542233658563

See the 4 points near Ring of Trials, that is from 1 spawn. Same with the 3-4 points south and south-east of Telaar, and the 3-4 points north and west of Garadar.

I was talking about Zangarmarsh. Nagrand you can do it because there are less spawn locations but it will eventually move to a different one (probability FTW). You can't camp spawns in Zang.

Map of Zang: http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=3521:58...62198316695580

30+ single spawn locations plus 2 locations that aren't on there but I know for a fact that there are spawns. When I was farming and came across one, I consolidated any nearby ones (within 10 yards or so, they really don't move that far; Cartographer FTW) into that one. That map is pretty damn close to what my map looked like before I had to do a reinstal and I forgot to back up my WTF. :(

As a multiboxer all my professions (and I have all of them) are for fun only. The only ones I've made real money out of are Enchanting and the 3 gathering professions.

I've got them all except for Engineering and Blacksmithing on Shammy #5 at 375/375 now, and I do plan on levelling Engineering. Think I'll drop Blacksmithing for the new LK profession though.

Anyway, I'd agree with others here - with 5 characters, nothing beats dailies - easily making 1500g a day doing a very quick run of dailies (quicker now that I have my 5 epic flyers to).

if you want fast primals just kill elementals...

meh, was talking bout putting lvl30 gnomes on floating islands, where the spawn ain't that static.
