Places I like to Farm - Episode 1

Sometimes I still like the old school way of making gold, you know, by just killing stuff and picking up the loot. I know right, who does that anymore? Well, I do, sometimes. So cozy up with your favorite blanket, grab yourself something yummy to drink and let's head out to one of my favorite farming spots.

Tonight we are going to take a trip over to Vareesa Windrunner in the Townlong Steppes.

Once there, pop into the portal and head out to the Isle of Thunder. Upon arrival check out the assignment map accept the pve quest and talk to Vareesa again. Today's quest is going to take us over to The Court of Bones. Captain Elleane Wavecrest has a quest for us as well as does Warmage Yurias. Theses daily quests are subject to change, but really any quests on the isle will do.


Before we begin chug a potion of luck for extra treasures!
If you have quests to do before you hit the first little quest hub go ahead and do those along the way. While killing Shan'ze, before heading to the Court of Bones, a Key to the Palace of Lei Shen dropped! So we'll get to what to do with that in a moment.


At the Court of Bones Narasi Snodawn and her posse have a few extra quests available to us as well so grab those up and let's get farming! When farming and questing in this area I like to grab as many mobs up as I can while sprinting to the next mob. I using Blade Flurry, Fan of Knives and as many cooldowns as I can to burn them down as soon as possible.


While killing and questing on the Isle keep an eye out for these little beautiful Treasure boxes just laying around waiting for you to loot them.

Okay all of our quests in this area are done now on to using that key. Head to the Bleak Hollow and talk to
to Taoshi. She will let you in to the Thunder Kings Treasure Palace. Inside there are a few different ways to approach this place. I like to open as many treasure chests as I can in the first room and once all those are open go on to the next. I find generally if you just focus on the chests themselves rather than getting to the end of the palace in the 5 minute time limit, that I usually end up with more gold.


If you picked up any Burial Trove Keys along the way use them to open up the bonus chests at the end before leaving the Thunder King's Trove.

Once you've got those quests completed head back to Jaina for one last quest for today to get yourself an Arcane Trove,

All that only took about 25 minutes so let's see how we made out.


Gold from looting  + greys sold  - 602 gold
Greens Looted - 335 gold
Windwool Cloth - 99 gold
Exotic Leather - 22 gold
Black and White Trillium 38 + 48
Total - 1144 gold
Valor - 30

While there are faster gold methods around, this one seems to still be pretty profitable in my opinion, plus it's nice to get out into the world sometimes and do a few quests.

Hope you guys give this method a shot, if you're looking for a different way to make some gold. 
Love you lots, like always, little gold goblins and gnomes.
Until tomorrow,
Turbos
