Lovely Charms are somewhat of a rare commodity–going for huge chunks of gold on the auction house (as bracelets), and being divvied up sparingly by various miserly mobs. For the achievement alone I needed 120 of these random drops, and was looking for the quickest, least painful way to get them.

I first tried Ulduar on Tuesday, but apparently Blizz moved exceptionally fast and hotfixed that tactic (along with any other mobs you kill with a vehicle). I put out some feelers for a spot with lots of meleeing, aoe-able creatures. A guildie offered up a spot suggestion: by the Avatar of Freya in Sholazar Basin.

I have sold so many auctions that the counter in the statistics section for my auction alts has rolled over into negative numbers. I am currently worth about 150,000g, and that’s after I bought myself a Quel’Delar and a pair of BoE boots the first couple of days after the patch launched. I suspect the reason I was picked to write this instead of someone who is already at or over the gold cap is that I’ve been able to accomplish this with extremely limited play time. I do most of my work in half an hour every weekday morning, leaving the rest of my time free for raiding with my hunter, writing about it at outdps.com, arguing with Frostheim about it on the Hunting Party Podcast, and taking care of my other show (Call to Auction).

When you decide you want to make ridiculous sums of imaginary money, where do you start? Well, that all depends on what you have. If you have been playing for a while, chances are you have a level 80. All characters have two primary profession slots, and maybe, if you’re really lucky, you’ll have some professions already trained! The higher, the better.

There are two ways to make gold in WoW. Grinding and everything else. If you are literally starting from nothing, I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but unless you have a friend willing to loan you money, you’re going to have to grind. You need gold to make gold in the auction house.

I’m aware that this location for Crystallized Fires had been found previously and posted somewhere (what hasn’t?) but what I wanted to share with you is something I had to test and find out for myself.

Go to Frostfloe Deep in Storm Peaks. I shouldn’t have to draw you a diagram showing you where this is. This cave is north of Camp Tunka’lo and has Wailing Wind wisp mobs inside.

-No set respawn timer- The cave and mobs are for a Horde questline. The faster you can kill them, the faster they respawn somewhere else in the cave. I brought a boomkin friend to this cave and had him kill stuff in the back section. He kills one, another respawns next to me etc. We could barely keep up and at one time almost died to the respawns.

TLDR== Picture the Gothik fight in Naxx. The faster you kill live-side, the faster they spawn on dead-side. Same thing as Frostfloe Deep.

Have Fun solo or with a friend.

when you are 5-23 mobs will drop linen, when you are 30-40 you get linen, and due to SM, alot of it. Lvl 41-50 you get mageweave, and sm cath/zf gives a lot of it. At the other hand, Wool cloth, has a short lvl range, and there’s not too many instances that drop them in bigger quantities. As if that wasn’t enough, to lvl tailoring and first aid you need tons of wool cloth. So guess what we want to farm in lower lvls?

Wool Cloth

To the spots!

Ashenvale, one word, furbolgs. They drop tons of it.

The Barrens, the dwarves at the excavation site.

The Stockades

Hillsbrad foothills, Durnholde keep.

Other spots: (mentioned by posts, I prefer the others though)

Worgens in duskwood, it works, but they doesn’t drop as much and are a pain in the ass to kill imo.

Deadmines are another spot, the mobs tend to linen instead of wool half of the time(almost), but it works. The plus here is that you never have to wait for respawns and if you’re a high lvl it’s easy to mass the mobs and aoe them down. (cred to Xollax)

The quillboars in the barrens was suggested by Kingyoshi9, definitely a nice spot when questing. But I would say that you shouldn’t grind there, there are just better places. =)

These are probably the best spots to farm it, they are there when you are lvling. Ofc higher lvls, 40-60, could farm there as well, with eez, and the money you earn is nice.
You might need some lvls for stockades.
Grind a lvl at one of the places and you will have enough money for epic mount when it’s time =)

Make a raid and go in Zul’gurub, start farming all the trash there but i recommend that you skip the “Gurubashi Axe Thrower’s” since they do some annoying and long stuns that may end up getting you killed. What you are farming is :

All the Bijou’s, colour does not matter. For around 30 minutes i was able to get 20 Bijous, wich sell for 15g a piece in the ah, or if people on your realm dont actualy sell these make em 20g a piece but not more since nobody will buy them. People need these Bijous to raise their rep with the Zanadar Tribe so there will be alot of customers i guarantee it. I sell them sepherately since more people will buy them that way. So that’s like 300g per 30 minutes or 600g a hour for me. If you dont get the idea for what bijous im speaking of
heres a picture Blue Hakkari Bijou – Item – World of Warcraft i randomly linked that picture , doesnt mean you gota farm the blue one speccificly.

Also if you are better geared and have a way to survive through some 95-111k HP mobs id advise you to go in to the Molten Core and start farming trash.
The trash drops Lava Core and Fiery Core – these moneymakers sell for 50g each ,but the drop rate is kinda low so you’ll get like 1 lava or fiery core for every 10 monsters you’ve killed and if lucky you can also get some BoE epics wich i also sell around 30-40g each. These Core’s are also used to gain reputation, with the Thorium Brotherhood or they can also be used to craft classic weapons, legendary materials etc so expect to have alot of costumers again. I grinded for an Hour There and i got 6 Lava Cores and 7 Fiery Cores + some BoE belt (worth 35gold in AH) so that makes is 685g in a hour.

But i also have to mention that its all a matter of luck – you might get a lot of drops or less drops

What will we be doing? – Farming a very rare Vanity pet

What is needed to do this?
A high lvl character, 40 + but preferably higher.
As we will be swimming quite a bit aswell its highly recomended to get some Elixir of Water Walking unless you are a Deathknight or shaman.

Parrot Cage (Hyacinth Macaw).
This pet quite possibly has the smallest drop rate in the game, at approximately 0.0007 = 0.07% (about 1/1400 kills) CONFIRMED ON WOWWIKI
and so takes an incredible amount of patience and determination in order to get one.
Due to the difficulty of obtaining one, and thus their rarity, they can sell for huge amounts of gold on the Auction House.
Because of the extremely low droprate – This pet is a status symbol. Every Goblin sitting on to much money / Every Pet-collector / Really hardcore player wants one of these.
World of Warcraft has always been about having the most gold, achivements, pets, mounts, having the highest ratings and best gear. Simply being the best player.
Depending on which server you are on, Parrot Cage (Hyacinth Macaw) will sell from anywhere between 9000 gold upto 60 000 gold.
I have seen on many occasions diffrent people makeing serverforum posts about wanting to buy this item or spamming the trade channel.

To be noted is that Blizzard in patch 3.2.2 made this drop EPIC because previously it dropped for some low levels and they would go on ah and sell it for like 3 gold or something stupid. But that never happens now!
I especially avoided the Booty Bay quests because I don’t want to loose reputation with Bloodsail Buccaneers, What should I do?
My recommendation for you is very simple.
You know that Death Knight you leveled to 58 and then forgot about? Finish leveling it to 61 so you get Path of Frost, and then run willy-nilly between the ships killing pirates.
It makes the whole experience much easier and even a little fun.
Don’t forget that you will get lots of Booty Bay reputation, If you do it enough you will get Exalted with BB very quickly.

Fire Eternals

The best place to farm these is at 85,73 in Wintergrasp. Kill the Flame Revenants there. They drop them very well.
Or you can use clouds if your engineering.

Shadow Eternals

The best place to farm these is at 17,50 in Wintergrasp. Kill the Shadow Revenants there as good as the Wandering Shadows. Or just go mining a nice mining place is also wintergrasp.

Eternal Waters

Theese are hard to farm cause they are very spread out in wintergrasp but
the best place to farm Eternal Water is to patrol from 29,46 to 69,52.

Eternal airs

The best place to farm Eternal Air is in the southern region of Wintergrasp that are patrolling from 22,63 to 68,73.

Eternal earths

The best place to farm Eternal Earth is at 71,58 in The Storm Peaks.
If there are too many people farming there just go Scholazar Basin at 70,56.
If you have the proffesion mining then you can go mining in scholozar by just going around the edges mining saronite

Good luck farming

Seeing the latest Crystallized Fire farming guides, which are always the same for that matter, I decided to post the place where I farm my Crystallized Fires. It’s not your usual Wintergrasp or Anvil spot in the Storm Peaks. Rather, it’s a little secluded place called Frostfloe Deep.

Location: 62, 42 Storm Peaks.

It is in this cave where you will find about 15 Wailing Winds. These things have low HP and have close to a 25% drop rate of Crystallized Fire. They can drop 2 at a time, and usually always do.

But the best thing about this cave? No one really knows about it.

It beats any other spot as there’s no contest for the spawns. By the time you kill to the end of the cave, the first spawns are back up alive.

Have fun!

I’ve been farming Crystallized Fire for Eternal Fire which currently sells for 30g each on my server.Plus they also drop Relic of Ulduar which sells for 3g each.

What you will be killing:
Seething Revenant – NPC – World of Warcraft

They have a 25% drop rate on droping 1-2 Crystallized Fire which isn’t all that bad.And a 33% of droping Relic of Ulduar

They also drop a lot of these 2 gray items (which sells for some gold)
Hoary Crystals – Item – World of Warcraft (Drop rate: 81%)
Efflorescing Shards – Item – World of Warcraft (Drop rate: 19%)

Here’s the place

Now the GREAT thing about thees mobs is that they are quest mobs so they respawn all the time and there is always 2-3 of them up.
