10man multigathering stats for the last 30 days

tl;dr 10man herbalism/mining = 1 million gold every 7-14 hours on a low pop realm.

I leveled 10 Demon Hunters in pre-patch, and I decided to make them double-gatherers, as my other characters did not have any gathering profession. There was enough time to level these gathering professions from 1 to 700 before Legion went live, and I heard that both herbalism and mining nodes will become shared, so you can harvest the same node multiple times (currently 10 is maximum taps on each node)

Now a tad over month have passed by from the Legion launch, and I took a peek on my TradeSkillMaster statistics, and the results surprised even myself. In Legion, I have spent 1-2 hours per day for gathering. There also have been days that I didn't log at all due to other activities.

Last 30 days
Leystone Ores sold 31,952 ( 692,281g )
Felslates sold 17,775 ( 937,745g )
Starlight Roses sold 10,964 ( 1,720,001g )

That alone sums up to 3.35M liquid gold per 30 days.
Divided by 30 days = 111,667 gold each day.
Divided by 2 hours = 55,833 gold per hour (GPH)

My characters have The Nightfallen honored shoulder enchants for Tinged Mana-Packs, which may contain flasks, potions, enchanting crystals, shards and dust and what else. It's a nice bonus for multiboxers, as each mob gives a 5x chance to trigger that pack.

Everything summed up, currently I'm making a million gold every week (7-14 hours in total) on a low population realm, where I thought the markets were pretty much dead but apparently I was happily wrong. I've decided to put all the other WoW activities on a side, while the herbs (especially starlight) still sells for 150-180g each herb. Nuts, huh?

Incredible.

When Garrisons died, I thought I'll have to start paying for subs again when they're going to expire.
Glad I was wrong there, too :)

Wow, that is insane. I guess I know what profs to level up ;)

Man low pop realms are awesome for gold it seems. High pop realms like mine there is so much over supply, prices have crashed

Except there is nothing to spend that much gold on in Legion. I spent the entire time making gold but never once spending it.

Flasks are expensive, I suppose that might get pretty expensive to keep your entire team buffed.

Can you gather a node on 10 toons before it despawns?

Yes. I've done 5 but OP mentions 10 is the max.

10 is the max that can gather from a node. I have 20, and when all were miners only 10 would ever get loot from a node--The others would get a skillup, but no loot.

On my server ore has crashed, but a stack of Starflower (whichever the one in Suramar is) sells for about 25k.

You don't need to go out farming just to make gold either, just farm while you're playing. After 1 week in Suramar just questing my toons had 30k each. Imagine being able to play for free while just playing the game like you enjoy.

Wonder how this will effect token price.

Flask costs will remain high I think. So they will maintain a pretty steady pressure on herb prices. Also, since Starlight Rose is basically a bottle neck, I would expect that price will remain quite high.

Right now, as a solo character, I can farm up 300-400 Farnskaggil an hour, and for anyone who runs around stormheim, they are aware of the rampant teleport hacking herbing bots running around. Farnskaggil is dropping in price, but it still fetches 50-80 gold per on my server.

I would expect Foxflower will remain more expensive due to the general crappiness of Highmountain for moving around.

Once flying mounts come in, I would expect all herbs but starlight rose to tank in price, but since Starlight rose remains one per pick, and only a 100% drop chance if you have Starlight Rose 3, I think that cost will stay high.

The ores were going to tank once the people looking to upgrade crafted gear filled their need.

Sup babe.
I'm still playing, I have 185m gold lol. Hit me up if you need anything!

Once you farm a node, could you server hop using the server hop add on to instantly find a new node in the same spot?

In theory it's possible, but keep in mind that there are so many spawn points for nodes, that the chances are quite slim to hop next to a node.

Also I've had troubles getting all the toons on the same realm when hopping, so I've ditched that method long time ago :)

GPH (Gold per hour) wise it's not worth it, imo.

Curious on the impact the BoS vendor in 7.1 will have on prices

Starflower is where the money is at, and the BoS vendor isn't gonna change that significantly. The exchange rate is too poor.

I don't even stop for ore anymore. I get 25k per stack of Starflower, which is like 10-15 minutes. It's not worth it to stop even for Felslate on my server, haha.

I just want to point out to the foxflower farmers the benefit of phasing to another server.
TLDR; when you are farming on someone elses server phase, things like foxflower (fox) spawns are 'personal loot'. Nobody but you will see the spawns.

Oh interesting... Guess that's something to consider if there's a lot of people taking your spawns.

I only gather Foxflower (about 8k a stack) and Starlight Rose (about 33k a stack) currently. Depending on luck on the procs Foxflower can still be more profitable per node for me, but I find that I have more competition in it. I still do both since I'd rather not run either market to the ground. I don't stop for Leystone anymore and only grab it when it's right next to an actually valuable node. Felstate is still good here, but not worth trying to farm exclusively, so I just grab the ones I find along my herb routes.

Currently I'm making 1 million gold per week fairly easily while watching netflix. I'm 6 seasons deep in to the Office and Steve Carell is not all that funny.

I decided to put WoW Token purchasing aside, and finally reached the 10M liquid gold ^^

Are you talking about server hopping? When I do that other people are definitely picking the same herbs as me.

185m!
Is that combined farming from the previous xpac + this current one or??

Incredible work. *highfive

Here I thought I was hot sh!t when i broke 1.8m hahaha *softlyBeginsToCry

Lol you are in my eyes I only have 500k

So noticed something interesting. I picked a foxflower with my Paladin and the fox spawned. I chased the fox and not only did my Paladin get extra herbs, but also my followers did as well (4x DKS). They don't even have herbalism.

They changed that for mining and the followers need to be miners to receive loot from the basilisk, they must have forgotten to do that for herbalism.

Basilisks that appear when mining an ore node or creature will only drop additional ore for miners with at least 75 skill.

pre-7.1 the loot from nodes was always the same for each character per node.
If one got 6 ores+BoS, they all got the same (+/- few ores depending on rank)

7.1 changed this a bit; Now the loot is totally random for each toon.
Doesn't matter though, kinda changes nothing.

For me, the withered that spawn from Starlight Rose only every drop flowers for one character. Is it the same for you all?

Yup, that's how it have always been, unfortunately :P So it's different than minable mobs, which can be looted five times.

Check before inviting your team to the same party, you'll likely be in different CRZs, increased chance of finding him. May even be able to log off and on a few times and find him in a different CRZ.

I've seen him a few times, standing on the stool to the right in the toy shop.

This is so broken lmao

how is this possible? i get like 500x/hr with 5 toons
