Rarity of Golden Sansam and Arthas Tears are RIDICULOUS

[Shodokan]

Very much similar to what i did. Getting Alch maxed out quicker....but using more expensive mats to get there actually worked out better than waiting for the cheaper mats on the Ah or grinding for them imo.

Golden sansam is 100g per stack on my server, or more. And there really is never any up. So regardless of the price i would have to farm almost all of it

[Prega]

i follow this path 275-300:

-275 to 280 -> 5x Superior mana potion (10x Sungrass - 10x Blindweed)
or (good option for me)
-275 to 280 -> same 280-285 - elixir of the sages

-280 to 285 -> 5x Elixir of the Sages (5xDreamfoil - 10xPlaguebloom), it s orange, turns yellow at 285
-285 to 290 -> 5x Elixir of brute force (10xplaguebloom -10x gromsblood), it s orange till 290
-290 to 300 -> 10x Greater Fire/frost/nature protection potion (10x dreamfoil -10x elemental fire/water/earth), it s orange till 305 or 310, not sure when turns yellow, but sure over 300.

i need (using only elixir of sages, avaible at 270, if remember right, for 275-285) 20 dreamfoil - 10 gromsblood - 30 plaguebloom and 10 elemental.
i buy greater prot recipes 10/20g max in ah, and 10x elemental fire/water/earth 10/20g for all in ah.


for arthas tears: i go in WPL, Andorhal, point west then north then west then Andorhal, and wait some time for respawn (15/20 min).
fast tour, Arthas tears really common there, meantime can collect some stacks of plaguebloom and (few) dreamfoil

Plan is tomorrow to do 8 hours of heroics, and 10 hours on tuesday. Finish gearing out my shaman and get about 15k gold or so to spend on herbs/other mats like frost lotus etc.

Are you saying you make 15k g from doing heroics for 18 hours?
if so how?

Badges = gems + de + trash etc

I sell gems for 100g per (ametrine/dread) and i can get upwards to 10 per hour (3 heroic minimum)
thats 1000g
200g from just the LFG tool
3x frozen orb on my server = 150
about 100g or so in enchanting mats
this doesn't include trash gold etc

So i can make about 1500 an hour or so, still undergeared. If i were like niley (he does 4 heroics per hour according to him) i would get more mats etc. My best hour was 3x AN in a row (it takes me just over 6 minuets for this instance at the time), nexus, and Gundrak. At the time i wasn't killing anubarak in AN though because i was being dumb and using fire elementals and they disrupted my view of the ground too often. So it was 6+7+7 badges... so 20 total. If i had been able to do anub it would have been another 9. I now can do ALL of an in under 12 mins or so. I still had 6 minuets left when i did it earlier.

On my server, the bottlenecks seem to be...

Stranglekelp, Sungrass and Netherbloom.
With a few other herbs being rather expensive, but plentiful.

I'm basically doing one toon at a time.
Financing the alchemy with a combination of dailies and gems from the other toons.
I have a list of how many of each herb I need.
And then mail left over herbs, from the last alchemist to the next alchemist.
And track how many of each were mailed.

Then, any that I'm short on, I buy if available, even if the price sucks.
But also check the AH daily for every herb I use, and buy anything that is relatively cheap.
I've got 8 of my desired 30 alchemists, so don't really care that I currently have 401 Felweed and only use 40 per toon; it was cheap so I bought a lot.

I've dropped one of the teams from doing dailies.
So am now averaging around 1.25 to 1.50 circuits of my daily route per day, between two teams.
And am making 900-1000 a day from gems so far.

Kind of a slow pace, as I dropped the dailies as much as possible.

Check the AH as often as you can.
And buy in bulk as much as you can, that is a good price.

I have 4 people herbing for me nearly 8 hours a day. Thats why in about 3 days i went from having almost nothing to having over 20k herbs =P

I love you sam. No homo! But that still only cuts out the amount necessary for 300+. You need 50 per char for 275-300... i mean there are other options but still.

The options for this area would be...

45 stacks of plaguebloom & 45 stacks of icecap + 30 stacks of golden sansam + 15 stacks of mountain silversage
75 stacks of golden sansam + 37.5 stacks of mountain silversage
75 stacks of plague bloom + 37.5 stacks of mountain silversage
There are also the stoneoil potion things but that requires like 2 stacks per char... so thats 60 stacks of that. That would be just as tedious as farming the sansam. I don't know how many fishing attempts you can get per hour but...i assume it is a max of 3 per minuet. So around 180 casts. If you were to get one every time you would not even get 1 stack per hour.


Edit: i already have X amount of sansam, so i'm going with the 30 stacks of fish option. I just bought 10 stacks on the AH and am starting to level fishing. Faster than trying to get the herbs.

Do as many arcanite transmutes as possible. Arcane crystals are going for under gold each on my server, thorium bars are also cheap. I get a bunch of points out of this.

Dreamfoil is cheap enough that I use the dreamfoilx3, silversagex1 recipe for several points.

I'm good with all my dreamfoil and silversage and such.

Did you realize that you can buy some herbs from Darkmoon Faire and from Vi'el in Winterspring.
