NEW Gold Farms (WoW Forever) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Hey, I'm Sonara. Unfortunately for you,
- 0:02if you're watching this video, you're
- 0:03probably in your mid-30s, both in game
- 0:05and in real life, and you don't have
- 0:06enough money to afford your mount or
- 0:08potentially a car. Uh, I can actually
- 0:10help you get a mount in game. So, let's
- 0:11see how to do it. The first method I
- 0:13have for you is to kill sand crawlers,
- 0:15both in Stranglethorn Veil and in the
- 0:17Riverglades. Sand crawlers in this level
- 0:19range drop a new type of meat, which is
- 0:21called tender crab meat. Currently on
- 0:24the auction house, this item is going
- 0:26for 14 silver a piece and the sand
- 0:28crawlers drop it at a 40% raid. So,
- 0:30you're very likely to get this item. It
- 0:32makes each sand crawler kill very
- 0:34valuable. If you're able to kill the
- 0:35higher level sand crawlers that are also
- 0:37available to you in Southern Strangle
- 0:39Veil, as I'm doing here on your screen,
- 0:40[music] you'll also have the chance of
- 0:42getting golden pearls from the big mouth
- 0:44clams that are dropped by them. [music]
- 0:46Golden pearls are super amazing. They
- 0:48are used in enchanting recipes and other
- 0:50recipes and they are worth one gold to
- 0:52vendors and approximately seven gold on
- 0:54the auction house as of current prices
- 0:56and this number is only going to be
- 0:58going up. The reason we are killing
- 1:00these crawlers is because there is a
- 1:01kill quest in the new Riverglade zone.
- 1:03However, this kill quest is followed up
- 1:06by a cooking quest which requires you to
- 1:08turn in [music] 10 stews to one of the
- 1:10NPCs in the new port city. Most players
- 1:13will not be able to make these stews
- 1:15[music] and they will not even bother
- 1:16farming the meat out. They will just buy
- 1:18them off the auction house if they are
- 1:20able to to turn them in to complete the
- 1:21quest. We can abuse the fact that people
- 1:23are following the arrow to do this. If
- 1:26you are able to have 200 cooking and
- 1:28make the stews yourself, the other
- 1:29ingredients are extremely cheap. The
- 1:31limiting factor is just the crab meat.
- 1:33So, you want to farm as much of it as
- 1:34possible and you can sell it on the
- 1:36auction house by itself if you don't
- 1:38have cooking. If you do have cooking,
- 1:39the profit margin is even larger. You'll
- 1:42make about 25 silver on the auction
- 1:43house for each stew that you sell at
- 1:45current prices. And this will likely go
- 1:46up as more players reach the Riverglades
- 1:48for the first time. The next tip I have
- 1:50for you is to kill gorillas in both
- 1:52northern and southern Stranglethorn
- 1:53veil. Gorillas are one of the only mobs
- 1:56in northern Stranglethorn veil that do
- 1:58not have a kill quest associated with
- 1:59them for both Alliance and Horde.
- 2:01[music] For this reason, there will be
- 2:03lots of them up and they will be
- 2:04uncontested for you to kill for their
- 2:06drops. Gorillas drop gorilla hair, which
- 2:08vendors for a nice amount of money. They
- 2:10also drop gorilla fangs which sell on
- 2:12the auction house as that item is
- 2:14actually used in a quest called
- 2:16stranglethorn fever which you can turn
- 2:18in to get the heart of mock to the
- 2:20shaman in the south of stranglethornne.
- 2:22Because players don't want to farm the
- 2:24gorillas, they can go ahead and buy
- 2:25these onto the auction house and turn
- 2:26them into the vendor. This is also
- 2:28exacerbated by the fact that players
- 2:30that try to solo this quest will likely
- 2:31fail it the first time as you have to
- 2:33fight waves and waves of gorillas. Uh
- 2:35and those players will have to buy the
- 2:36materials again in order to try again.
- 2:38For these reasons, gorillas are a very,
- 2:40very consistent way to make money. You
- 2:41can also skin them if you would like a
- 2:43little bit of extra income. I would say
- 2:45it's about five gold an hour to six gold
- 2:47an hour at current prices, just killing
- 2:49gorillas. All right, the next method is
- 2:51very tried and true. It is killing
- 2:52turtle mobs between levels 30 and 40.
- 2:55Specifically here, I'm killing the
- 2:56turtles that are north of Theomore.
- 2:58These turtles are very easy to group
- 3:00together and AoE down, and they don't do
- 3:01that much damage to you. Turtle mobs are
- 3:03just inherently a little bit tankier for
- 3:05whatever reason. and they just likely
- 3:06have some strong armor stats. Uh, we
- 3:08don't know NPC armors at this point. It
- 3:10just feels like it took forever to kill
- 3:11these mobs. I'd recommend this highly if
- 3:13you're a caster class, especially if you
- 3:15are able to kill the level 40 turtles in
- 3:16Taenerys. These ones also drop big mouth
- 3:19clams, so you can be farming for golden
- 3:20pearls at the same time. Turtle meat
- 3:22sells on the auction house for an
- 3:23inflated amount of money because it is
- 3:25currently being used for a quest in
- 3:26Hillsbr foothills where it is used for
- 3:29again a cooking quest. You turn 10 of
- 3:30them in and you complete the quest. You
- 3:32can just buy these off the auction house
- 3:33so lazy players will go ahead and do
- 3:35that. So save your turtle meat and you
- 3:36can vendor everything else from the
- 3:37turtles. Their scales are like nine
- 3:39silver a piece which is really really
- 3:40nice and the meat is about five silver
- 3:42each and sometimes they drop two of
- 3:43them. So go ahead kill your turtles.
- 3:46This next method is horde only
- 3:48unfortunately. If you are horde though
- 3:50you can go to Shadow Prey Village in
- 3:51Desolus and you can jump off of the
- 3:52docks and you can go down and loot the
- 3:54shellfish containers under the water.
- 3:56There's actually some bubble spots so
- 3:58you don't need to come up for air every
- 3:59single time. Uh however, you will have
- 4:01to move around quite [music] a bit. The
- 4:03nice thing about this, even though it
- 4:04doesn't give experience, you are very,
- 4:06very likely to get one to two shellfish
- 4:08from each of the crates that you loot.
- 4:09And every five shellfish that you turn
- 4:11in is currently worth one bloodbelly
- 4:13fish, 2 and 1/2 gold on the auction
- 4:16house. That's right, 2 and 1/2 gold for
- 4:18approximately 5 minutes of work, making
- 4:20this one of the most lucrative methods
- 4:22on the list. I'd say that, you know, at
- 4:24current prices, players aren't always
- 4:26going to buy these because you only need
- 4:27to buy two. Sometimes players will just
- 4:29say, "Oh, you know, whatever. I'll buy
- 4:30this." For whatever reason, these items
- 4:32are selling for 2 and a half gold. I
- 4:34don't particularly think that it's worth
- 4:35it to complete that quest, but it is
- 4:37extremely extremely easy. As you can see
- 4:39in the background here, it took me about
- 4:413 minutes to go around the zone and
- 4:43collect five of these shellfish, which
- 4:44I'll go ahead and turn into this guy on
- 4:46the dock. It is a repeatable quest, and
- 4:48he will sell me the bloodfish. Just put
- 4:50this on the auction house and reap the
- 4:51rewards of players that don't want to do
- 4:53this part of the quest because you're
- 4:54just swimming around, not killing
- 4:55anything. Keep in mind that if you are
- 4:57doing this method, even though you are
- 4:59not gaining experience, the gold that
- 5:01you need to get here is going to happen
- 5:03so quickly if things stay at current
- 5:06prices that you will not have to waste
- 5:08much time on your journey whatsoever.
- 5:10Usually, when you hit level 40, you'll
- 5:12have anywhere from 40 to 70 gold in your
- 5:14bags if you've been buying your skills
- 5:16and buying a few things off the auction
- 5:17house. So, you only need to do this for
- 5:19about an hour to make up the rest of the
- 5:21gold for your mount. In my book, that
- 5:23seems like an absolute win. But if you
- 5:25don't want to go swimming, try out some
- 5:26of these other methods. This next method
- 5:29is likely to be a pretty decent method
- 5:31for an extended period of time. However,
- 5:33if you get on this quick, you will make
- 5:34the most money. Uh, this is using
- 5:36blacksmithing and buying heavy stone off
- 5:38the auction house and turning it into
- 5:40heavy weight stones for a specific horde
- 5:43quest in the Riverlands. So, the
- 5:45interesting thing about this quest is it
- 5:47doesn't tell you anywhere that uh you
- 5:49need to go farm these and make them
- 5:51yourselves. It just says, "Hey, give
- 5:53bring me 10 heavy weight stones or
- 5:54whatever. It's from some ogre guy." The
- 5:56problem is most uh most characters are
- 5:58not going to have the 100 blacksmithing
- 6:00required to make this. And in order to
- 6:02progress the quest, they are going to go
- 6:04and they are going to buy them off the
- 6:05auction house. We can leverage this by
- 6:08just turning heavy stone AFK in the city
- 6:10into these weight stones. It is one
- 6:12heavy stone per weight stone. Uh and
- 6:14with the current prices that I've got on
- 6:16screen here, you are making a killing
- 6:18while doing absolutely nothing. Again,
- 6:20this is not likely to last forever, but
- 6:22this is a really, really good method if
- 6:24you just want to go AFK in the city and
- 6:26make some money and not really have to
- 6:28think about it. It's also a great way to
- 6:29level your blacksmithing in these levels
- 6:31if you're around 100. Uh, because you're
- 6:33not going to be spending any money.
- 6:34You're just going to be sitting here
- 6:35making approximately 5 gold an hour for
- 6:37doing nothing. All right, finally, I've
- 6:39got a bit of WoW investment tips for
- 6:42you. Some things in the game are
- 6:44definitely going to be worth more in the
- 6:46future than they are now. So, just think
- 6:48about things wisely, and if you have
- 6:50additional money after you've reached
- 6:51level 40 and you've got your mount and
- 6:53you can't yet afford your epic mount,
- 6:55you might want to invest in some of
- 6:56these. The first one I've got here for
- 6:58you is elemental earth. Uh there's other
- 7:00reagents like this that are going to be
- 7:02good for potions and elixir and things
- 7:03like that late game. Uh, but as a melee
- 7:05player, elemental earth really stood out
- 7:07to me because you use two or three of
- 7:09these in every single elemental
- 7:10sharpening stone that is made at
- 7:12endgame. And warriors and rogues are
- 7:14going to be wanting two of these on
- 7:16their weapons at all times because
- 7:17they're dual wielding. And paladins will
- 7:19also want one. It's also likely that
- 7:21your tank is going to want one on his
- 7:23sword at all times if he is playing a
- 7:24warrior. [music] For these reasons, this
- 7:27elemental earth gets used up really
- 7:28quickly and it is a hard resource to
- 7:30farm. Uh on classic era it is worth
- 7:33about 8 to 10 gold each, sometimes even
- 7:35more. [music] Um but right now it's
- 7:37about 14 silver on the auction house. So
- 7:39if you want to buy up lots of it while
- 7:41you can, while it's cheap, and sell it
- 7:42later down the line, you will make a ton
- 7:45of money. The same thing can be said for
- 7:47BOE epic items, specifically melee
- 7:50weapons for leveling. For many classes,
- 7:52their melee weapon is one of the biggest
- 7:54sources of power for leveling and gets
- 7:56you through really tough times when
- 7:58there are bad weapons available to you.
- 8:00Uh, I did a big weapon progression
- 8:02spreadsheet and in the level 30s to 40s
- 8:04is where there's really not that much
- 8:06good stuff anymore and you're really
- 8:08relying on your weapons for multiple
- 8:09levels at a time. For people that
- 8:11already have gold and are leveling their
- 8:13alternative accounts, their alts,
- 8:14whatever you want to call them, some of
- 8:16those people will buy the BOE epics if
- 8:18they make sense or if they're
- 8:20speedrunning, something like that. The
- 8:22BOE epics are going to speed up their
- 8:24leveling. Uh, it could also be used in
- 8:26things like [music] twinks. Regardless,
- 8:28the BOE epics are going to sell for way
- 8:30more money than they are currently. For
- 8:32example, I am currently buying up
- 8:33dazzling long swords, but things like
- 8:35Fiery War axe and uh hang the
- 8:37decapitator that are really, really good
- 8:38for warrior, for example. If you're
- 8:40playing arms on like a PvP server,
- 8:42you're just going to crush in that level
- 8:43range, those things are super worth
- 8:45investing in early while they're worth
- 8:46low gold. I probably wouldn't buy things
- 8:48that are over 100 gold right now on the
- 8:50auction house. Anything less than that
- 8:52is likely to be going up in value and
- 8:54will be worth it in the future. Thanks
- 8:56so much for watching my video. If
- 8:57anything helped you, uh, feel free to

- 9:00channel growth that I've had so far, and
- 9:01I look forward to seeing you in the next
- 9:03one.
