Wednesday Weekly Wrap Up

Another week that just flew by! Especially thanks to the the holidays. So let's take a look back at what we covered this week.

We celebrated Linksgiving!


Now on to how this week turned out. To put it bluntly this week was rather uneventful in sales and a bit sad, but I'm gonna chock that up to the Holiday keeping people away from playing. I know it kept me away a bit more than usual as well. The big loss in revenue this week came from sales on the Horde side. I can usually count on the Horde side to bring in 20k - 30k and this week sales only ended up around 10k.

That being said... 700k!

Here's to next week! 

Love you like always little gold goblins and gnomes!
Until tomorrow,

Places I like to Farm - Episode 1.5

1.5!? But we just did Episode 2 yesterday. Well, the spot I really love on the Isle of Thunder wasn't up for the dailies the first time around so let's go visit the Thunder Isle again! (For today's Episode make sure and grab 2 Potions of Luck as we are going to be farming for 40 minutes instead of the usual 20.)


Drat, we still didn't get the quests that are my favorite for farming, but that's okay let's roll with what we got.
Today, the Magic map take us over to the Ihgaluk Crag. Yuck!


While this area is my least favorite for farming, there are two absolutely fun things you can do over here.


Those are ... Jump super freaking high and far and squish Cockroaches!

Throughout our questing and farming do not hesitate to destroy any Rare you see,


And loot any chest you can find!


Once your quests are complete, chug another potion of luck if your fist has run out and hop on over to where I love to farm, the troll killing fields of Za'Tual
I tend to have good luck on the drops off of these trolls. The green items alone sell for quite a bit on the Auction house especially the Timeworn pieces. On top of that the white Zandalari Journals that drop can fetch anywhere from 20 to 90 gold each since there is an achievement for collecting them all. So for the next 20 minutes or however long you have left until your second potion of luck expires kill as many trolls as you can, as fast as you can.


Once your 20 minutes here are up if you've had any luck at all you should have at least 1 Key to the Palace of Lei Shen, and if you've been killing the rares and looting chests you might even have more! From today alone I netted 3 of them so head over to Taoshi and get your free loots!


Alright so like I said today's farming episode was a little bit longer than the usual 20 minutes, but let's see how we did.

Gold Looted and Gray's Vendored - 1118 gold

Banquet - 12 gold
Windwool Cloth - 72 gold
Zandalari Journals x5 - 60 gold
Greens - 700 gold

Total Gold - 2186g

Bonus!

Valor - 45

Double Bonus!


Pretty good haul today! 
Love you lots little gold goblins and gnomes! 
Until tomorrow,

Places I Like to Farm - Episode 2

Picking back up where we left off last time, let's take a look at another fun farming spot. This location isn't as profitable as the last one, but it's great for getting Shaohao rep, as well as the occasional gear upgrade for that little left behind alt. 

Before we start head out to the local Darkmoon Faire, since it's in town this week and hop of the Darkmoon Carousel. This will give you the "Whee" buff which grants you an extra 10% xp and rep bonus for everything you kill.


Now off to the Timeless Isle! Talk to Kairoz once you get there, and accept the Empowering the Hourglass quest. Next head over to Emperor Shaohao and pick up the Path of the Mistwalker Quest. Alright, that should get us set up, so we can head over to Firewalker Ruins. Before we start killing every Ordon in sight make sure and down a trust potion of luck for extra treasure finding goodness. 


Don't forget to open every little hidden chest or basket inbetween collecting your Epoch Stones and killing 20 Elites. Pay attention to people of the opposite faction in this area as well. If you tend to play during peak play hours you might deal with a bit of ganking. That being said, if you tend to respect others no matter the faction, you usually don't have to deal with too many gankers.


Turn the clock forward 20 or 25 minutes, turn in those completed quests and lets see how much loot we ended up with.

Gold looted + vendored Grays - 200 gold
Greens - 150 gold
Potions - 7g
Banquet -12g

Total of ....
738 gold

Bonus ...
Valor - 250
Shaohao Rep ~ 1000

Double Bonus

Not as good as the last place we tried farming, but we did get a little bit closer to earning enough rep and timeless coins to get the beautiful Heavenly Golden Cloud Serpent. Not to mention we made some gold and had some fun along the way.

Love you lots little gold goblins and gnomes!
Until tomorrow,
