Razorfen Downs Farming
Submitted by Assyrian on Sun, 2005-08-07 02:24.The target is Razorfen Downs located in the southern barrens, this instance is for about levels 35-45.
To do this run you need to be a rogue level 60 (maybe a bit below) and you also need to have enchanting
When you enter the instance go into stealth and follow the map outlined (it may be a bit incorrect but u get the idea, just get to the last boss)

When you get to the part labelled 4 look around for the boss there (he is hard to miss) and kill him
he should drop a blue item, next go back into stealthed and travel to the top of the spiral and get to the main boss of RFD.
The way to kill him is to keep your back to the little cave like thing that he stands in front of other wise you will get knocked off the mountain.
Start out with cheap shot to stun him and just start spamming skills, once he summons he minions use evasion. (you might want to bring some healing pots just incase)
if done right he should die and drop 2-3 blue items.
Now comes the money making part you should have 3-4 blue items in your bag now and this is were enchanting comes in. use the skill disenchanting on the blue items
the should all disenchant into small radiant shards which sell for 10-15g on most severs.
Once you get at this it should only take about 10 mins to complete which is about 60-90g per hour PLUS sometimes a green will drop along with blues which could also sell on the AH
I suggest selling the small radiant shards for 10g so that people will chose yours over others and selling them in stacks of 1 or 2 will also increase the buying rate.
Re: Razorfen Downs Farming
I just wanted to make a few points here. NOTE: This is from a level 61 Rogue's perspective.
Things to look for in a good spot...
---Good vendor trash, loot or world drops - Look for gray items that sell for a good price at vendors, find mobs that drop a lot of something like silk, pick mobs that have a good chance at world drops. All of these can be researched on the net.
---Resources (i.e. skinning/mining/herbalism) - Find an area that allows you to get loot from mobs as well as resources on a regular basis. Being able to skin mobs that have good loot drops makes for faster gold.
---Respawn Rate/Enough Mobs - It's very important that you're able to keep a steady flow of mobs to kill, otherwise you're wasting time waiting for respawns and losing money.
-------------
In summary, I would again like to reiterate that the fastest way to make gold is to find the quick money-makers. For me it's running easy instances for the bosses (using stealth to bypass all the time-consuming killing) and disenchanting the items, then selling them on the AH. Do a few instances a day and it's nice steady income on top of your regular outings. I've found there are only a handful of things that really sell on the AH consistently, resources and mats being the top sellers. Putting greens on the AH is a risky business. Sometimes they sell and sometimes they don't. Enchanting mats are always in demand because people are always wanting to get their weapons or items enchanted. Up and coming enchanters need tons of mats to get up to level and the top level enchanters are too lazy to go get the mats themselves, so they buy them off the AH and make a profit by overpricing their enchants. Maybe when you make enough to get those gravy enchant recipes and reach the enchanting skill pinnacle you can start making mega gold, but as a 3/4 level enchanter you don't have a lot of options. My way is quick and painless and over time it adds up to lots of gold if you're patient. It's nice to not have to spend hours grinding to make some coin. If you have the patience to run the instances fully you'll pull in more, but you will have spent hours doing the same thing over and over again. That's not my idea of fun. An added bonus is you get to gank lowbies around the instances for fun if you're on a PVP server.
Those are my $0.02 ... take it as you will.
Small Radiant Shards
Small Radiant Shards sell for 5-10g on the Azgalore server. I bought 6 at 5g each from a friend.
AH sells them for no less than 6g on up to 10.
Sizzle!
I may be mistaken, but don't
I may be mistaken, but don't most the blues in SM shard into small radiants as well? Why not run through there and pick the chests while you're at it? Much better loot and easier bosses to solo.
These farming methods are
These farming methods are all for higher lvls bt if you're going fror your lvl 40 mount (like me) farm SM gy it's really easy to solo and could at least 5-8 runs within a hour just seatlth through and take out the bosses and vendor their drops unless they're boe o.O(there's only 2 main bosses but there are 2 rare spawns) you get around 40s for each rare they drop
i agree small radiant shards
i agree small radiant shards only for for 2-4g on my server so your wasting your time doing this, there are much easier and better ways to make gold
please enlighten us, whats a
please enlighten us, whats a faster way? all these guides are the same... run this instance, DE the mats, sell them on the AH.
Only now chanting mat prices are way down, and you can only enter 5 instances per hour...
Where am I gona find the funds for my epic tiger :-/?
It always amaze me when
It always amaze me when someone putz up a how to make lots of money in hour, and they're strategy is by selling their loot on AH, just for ur information, those small radiants shards typically sell for 1-2g so ur 50g per hour just turned into 10g per hour. Nice try but there are faster ways of making money then ur strategy
your mean
it always amazes me how mean ppl are. This guy took the time to post this to help ppl make some good gold. wheather its a good or bad way you really should keep it to yourself.
What's a faster way?
What's a faster way?
50 gold in an hour
20-25/h farming SM stick to armory or library, others are less/h
15-20/h farming Ulda from front door
30-60/h farming icecap, dreamfoil, plaguebloom, or Mountainsilversag
20/h mining copper or tin ore with fast mount
20-50/h mining thorium, 50 if you get a gem
Trust me 100g/h solo is mostly luck of getting that purple to drop.
