WoW Guides For Gold

Motes of Water can be a good source of World of Warcraft Gold. Farming for it will surely be worth your time. There are a couple of farming spots I could recommend for optimum farming experience. In my server, a single Mote of Water costs 2gold each and if you turn them into Primal Water they can bring you 20gold.

The best place to good for Mote of Water is Nagrand. You might be thinking that I might mention going to the Elemental Plateau but you’re wrong. The plateau might be a good place to farm but it’s always full of farmers that you might just be wasting your time there. There are pools in Central Nagrand that you can farm for Motes of Water without the need of a flying mount. The three mobs to look for are Muck Spawn, Lake Spirit, and Lake Surger. They have decent drop rate and you could collect a lot of Mote of Water in an hour.

If you don’t like going to Nagrand, there are 2 farming spots located in the Terokkar Forest just outside of Shattrath City. First off the list is the Sylmer Lake northeast of Shattrath City. This is where you can find Shimerscale Eels. You can easily get around 4 Primal Water in an hour of farming here. Best of all, its nearness to Shattrath City makes it convenient for you to empty your bags if they become full. They have an excellent drop rate although this spot tends to be overpopulated.

If you already have a flying mount, then go to the Skettis and kill Skettis Surgers. These mobs drop Mote of Water as well. A plus is that at level 70, Skettis Surgers are easy target. Last time I went to Skettis, I was the only one farming the spot.

You should take note that most Mote of Water farming spots listed here are underwater. Warlocks should have no trouble with their Unending Breath spell but other classes might want to use Elixir of Water Breathing or Nagrand Cherry so that you don’t have to go up for air and have a lot more time farming.

There is also another way of farming for Motes of Water. You can fish for them. Pure Water nodes could be fished 2 to 4 times with Motes of Water having a drop rate of 75-80%. Pure Water nodes could be found in Nagrand and requires fishing skill of 380 before you can do some fishing from them.

Like most motes, Mote of Fire is used to make different items. Engineers need them to make Elemental Blasting Powder. Alchemists need them for Elixir of Major Firepower. Enchanters use them for Enchant Shield – Resistance. Combine ten motes and you’ll get a Primal Fire. Now this is an important reagent to make a lot of epic items notably Belt of Blasting, Dawnsteel Bracers, Girdle of Ruination, Gyro-Balanced Khorium Destroyer, Hard Khorium Battlefists, Iceguard Breastplate, Netherdrake Gloves, Red Belt of Battle, The Frozen Eye, Windstrike Gloves and a lot more.

Mote of Fire farming is great business. A single Mote of Fire is priced at 3gold in my server’s Auction House. Just like any other mote in the World of Warcraft, Mote of Fire could be farmed from several spots but if you’re looking for efficient farming spots then here are some of them.

The Elemental Plateau in Nagrand may still be the spot with the best drop rate but it is also the most crowded spot. The Raging Fire Souls do have fast respawn rates but it can’t make up for the farming population therefore it is best to avoid this spot and try the others.

First on the list is the Throne of Kil’jaeden area located at the northeast of Hellfire Peninsula. The Incandescent Fel Sparks, which are level 70 to 72, are hard mobs to kill but I observed that they have the best drop rate among fire elementals. What I do is to do the daily in the area while farmingThe daily could be gotten from Magistrix Seyla. That way I hit two birds with one stone.

You could also farm for Mote of Fire in the middle of Shadowmoon Valley. There are lots of Enraged Fire Spirits elementals in that area. And if by chance you finished them off and they haven’t respawned yet, you can kill earth elementals in between. You have to be careful of the lava in the area. Be sure to be pulling the mobs in solid ground.

Melee classes (warriors and rogues) would enjoy farming Searing Elementals at the Blade’s Edge Mountains for Mote of Fire. These are level 67 to 68 and could easily be killed by a level 70. There are also Scorch Imps in the area that you can kill for Netherweave Cloth as well.

There are more spots where fire elemental roam but these are by far the most profitable spots to farm.

Although I still think that Mining is the number one profession in WoW when in comes to making gold, Enchanting is a close second. Skinning and Herbalism do make a lot of gold as well but they don’t match the potential of Enchanting.

We all know that selling enchanting materials in the Auction House is free. Plus there is a never ending demand for enchanting materials. There are lots of ways to profit from Enchanting.

One way to profit from it is to buy cheap greens from the Auction House and Disenchant them. Then the mats you get from the Disenchantment could be sold in the Auction House.

Another way is to find someone that can make a Fel Iron Blood Ring or Golden Draenite Ring. These are the cheapest items to make but would be rewarding if disenchanted. According to my server’s economics, each ring would cost a maximum of 3 gold to make. When disenchanted, a ring can give you 2 arcane dusts or 2 lesser planar essence each. Plus there is a chance that you could get small prismatic shard from them.

World of Warcraft Fishing

If you’ve just started paying WoW, you’ll probably disregard fishing just as many players do. I did this with my first toon until I was almost 70, and realized the amazing foods I could be making and gold I could be bringing in if my fishing skills were maxed out.

At first, you may not think it is a big deal. But, you can make some extra money even early on in the game with fishing. One of the first places you’ll be able to fish (Horde wise) is off the coast of Ratchet. You’ll find there will be many times you are standing on that dock waiting for the boat to come in. Why not take advantage of that time by fishing? If you look up and down the coast here, you can find pools of Oily Blackmouth which is used in alchemy, and can sell pretty nice on the auction house.

Soon after that, you’ll be able to fish at the pools near and in Wailing Caverns in The Barrens. Here, you can find Deviate fish, which is used for creating Deviate Delight. Deviate Delight is used by low and high level characters for fun. It can turn you into a ninja, just something that players like to do for show (and to startle new players). In order to make Deviate Delight, you’ll have to combine your fishing with cooking, but the fish themselves sell well as it is.

When you reach 70, you’ll be able to fish in pure water pools, which will net you almost 10 motes of water in only minutes. That means you have a primal mana in minutes, instead of killing monsters for ½ an hour to get one (if you’re lucky). If you’re a caster, then you’ll want to fish your heart out in Nagrand for Bluefish. A cook can turn this into Poached Bluefish, which increases your spell damage. Very nice indeed!

As you see, cooking is always an great thing to go along with fishing. But, fishing alone can bring in a nice amount of gold throughout your WoW lifetime. It’s best to start fishing early though, because you don’t want to spend an entire day fishing playing catch up… trust me, I’ve been there and done that. Fish here and there on your downtime, and you’ll be able to steadily build your skill as you rise through the levels.
