How to make money, tons of it [scourge event 1400g in 4 hours]

[Kaynin]

Yeah, probably. I don't have mongoose myself tho. :<

I'm still at work and have been unable to test the new patch myself by the way so can't give confirmation if the items are still disenchantable.

Right now I'm on my way to Light's Hope to try this, I'll post with my findings.

It's still working as of Oct 29th, got a few stacks of LPS from this so far

A better way to make money if this still works is making mongoose enchants to sell on AH ( if you have the enchant )

Please explain how this is possible.

It is actually possible to get 7 Shadows of Doom from one site. If you kill 3 of them, and then wait with the fourth left alive, another 3 will spawn. Once you kill 4 the area will be disabled and no more adds will spawn, but the three channelers with stay allowing you to interrupt them and spawn a Shadow. All of these shadows will drop 30 runes. I did this on Monday, so it is possible that this has been changed.

Another thing worth mentioning is that once the channelers are up the spawned mobs are of a higher quality and seem to be more likely to drop runes.

Scribes (Inscription) can make scrolls that enchanters can place an enchant on. This scroll can then be used to place the enchant on an item. The scroll can be sold on the AH.

Which scroll mine say lvl 35 only.

[zaediex]

Weapon Vellum II can only be used with enchants that have a level restriction of level 35. All current level 70 enchants fall into this category.

edit: Here's Enchant Weapon - Mongoose for reference.

[Kaynin]

Actually, I know my executioner enchant requires a level 60 or higher weapon...

[zaediex]

I stand corrected. Executioner does require a level 60 weapon. I suspect this is an exception, and not the rule likely due to the effect on twink pvp that the armor negation effect would have

This is prolly getting nerfed soon but it still works at this moment.

Go to areas scourge is invading. there are usually 3/4 or so camps with mobs and a crystal, mobs respawn until crystal is 0 hp and then there are 4 shadow of doom's. All mobs have about 30% droprate of a necrotic runestone thingy. The shadows of doom aloways drop 30, rare mobs often drop 3 as well as some epics.

what I do, depending on how many people are busy, is preferably pull a camp, aoe, loot, run to other camp, pull, aoe, loot, run back to camp 1, pull aoe and loot, etc, until one stone is almost down, stick to that area and do the shadows one by one.

This night, I farmed these for about 3 hours. In total I got 10 or so epics, and 750 necrotic runestones. At the vendor in lights hope you can buy epics for 15 of these stones. I bought around 50 epics.

I disenchanted the total of 60 epics I gained in 3 hours of grinding and had around 100 void shards. (they seem to have a high 2x drop rate).

So that's 100 void shards in 3 hours. these I broke down into large prismatic shards, (make more money on my server.) lps's go for 10-12g a piece on my server. I spammed trade, mass selling them for 7g a piece. And made 1400 gold in 3 hours of grinding and one hour of selling.

1400 gold, four hours. D:

As I said tho, blizz will prolly nerf the disenchantable items form the vendor, like they have done in the past too. However, for now it does still work. Use it while you can!

PPS: the longer you wait, the more likely people will catch on, the more likely prices on your shards drop too. So, you have to sell the shards low and in large quentities. It will flood the market, prices will decrease afterwards. Or keep the shards until when prices gone up again. :P

Where do these spawn?
