Heroic Farming Speed question

[crowdx]

For me the amount of gold was not the question, rather the speed people were running heroics. I reckon I am just too cautious. I ran Gun last night using some of the shortcuts mentioned in this thread and it still took me 30 minutes via my timer addon. Considering each boss takes me about 1 miunte or less to down, the rest of the time was spent running or postioning guys for the pulls, 5 bosses = 5 minutes.
Still I suppose 5 badges in 30 minutes is not bad :P

7 if it was random

It gets quicker once you're more comfortable with your gear and the instance. I used to do 40 minute UK, 40 minute GD with Eck, 50 minute HoL, always 2 minutes shy of dragonkin boss in CoS. Right now I do 20 minute GD without Eck and only skip the trash between the 2nd and 3rd boss. UK still takes me 28 minutes, HoL is down to 30 minutes, and I always have 2 minutes extra in CoS now. All 15 of my 80s have the mount in their bags, some have even picked up a spare.

I haven't raided in a few months so all my tier 9 gear is from badges acquired from running heroics. I am at a point where it's one heroic per night per group. All I'm really interested in right now is selling 15 Primodial Saronites every 12th day. Those go for 2k each compare to the 35g Abyss Crystals on my server.

The 15 primordials will be nice, but if you arn't going to gear your characters anymore what's the real point of them? Other than pvp that is.

A lot of people are now in a holding pattern awaiting the landing of Cataclysm

2.5k a day will go a long way towards new gear when that kicks off

My server they are down to 1500 each So 5 would only be worth 7500 or so... which if not doing weeklies comes out to 650ish gold per day. Still not bad at all though. But if i had 3 groups it would be more i suppose so it would be worth it.

if you can run a hero in 20 min you won't need any loot from it ;-)

I checked my titanpanel a few days ago and average 10k each on my 5 accounts and my guildbank has ballooned up to 89k, so I guess the real point of them is to assist me in gathering up 200k and hire an army to take over Stormwind. I stopped raiding a few months ago and have no desire to start it back up, so right now it all about collecting gold, mounts, and them cute mini-pets. I don't think I'm undergeared for any of the heroics, as all my characters are floating around 4.5k GS. I don't see how T10 or 264 off pieces will benefit me greatly in heroics. I will still stop to loot every mob and that's what's taking up most of the time.

30 mins doing UK, Gundrak and Drak'Tharon is what you should aim for, and thats including killing all and looting without rushing or feeling stressed.

If you want to do it faster it starts to become a gear question

I have a routine for all dungeons i rarely use short cuts except in gundrak after killing Eck but i dont leave trash cause as i said i like to collect the money n mats

PoS still takes about 1h to finish and i rarely go throu it without a whipe or 2-3 deaths

I loot every corpse along the way, but am tempted to use the old Master Looter/Loot Threshold/Opt Out of Loot method, so only greens will sparkle.

How exactly do you do that?

If i put it on master loot and pass on loot on main, no bodies sparkle, if i do take loot my part of the corpses sparkle. The slaves didn't pass on loot.
