I farmed Ravagers for Ravager Flesh outside Falcon Watch for 30 minutes in TBC Classic. I also farmed Clefthoof Meat in from Clefthoof in Nagrand. I wanted to share my results. I didn’t think this was an incredible farm or that it was going to be better than other farms at 70. I just wanted to get an idea of what to expect from each of these areas.
I was playing an Enhance Shaman in TBC Beta.
1st: After 30 minutes outside Falcon Watch I made 25 gold 81 Silver and 9 Copper selling the grays and greens I looted as well as 55 Ravager Flesh.
2nd: After 30 minutes running throughout Nagrand, Clefthoof respawn rate is pretty slow, I made 20 gold 23 silver 92 copper and 44 Clefthoof Meat.
Do you guys want me to test any other areas? Are there open world farms that you want to see a quick test of? I’m trying to make guides/videos of things that casual players can do in short game play sessions to make gold. Would love any suggestions of things that people want to see.
Wouldn’t a few dungeon runs wield better results for the time investment. If I had 1 hours of time to play, dungeon runs seems like the better option, it wields rep I need, better XP, and possibly more gold.
A decent gold/hr benchmark in TBC is 400g/hr. That does include the AH. Pure, raw gold farms are not as effective as farming for specific high-value items such as leathers, motes, herbs, cloth and Scryer/Aldor reputation items. 50g/hr is a Classic rate. If you’re still only getting that in TBC you need to watch some Youtube videos.
Edit: This is especially true this time around because so many people are going into TBC with 50,000 or 100,000g in their bags. Raw gold farms can’t compete with the inflation in the market. If a Primal Might ends up being 2000g then I assure you, that’s your farm right there. Camp mote locations and layer hop with your RealID / Guild buddies and bag those motes. If Heavy Clefthoof Leather is going for 20g a pop, you know your grind. Camp Nagrand with some friends and cycle layers every 5min. Make that money.
WoW! Its crazy to me people have that much gold. I’ve never been one to play the AuctionHouse and make crazy gold. I just like playing the game and the Auction House has always intimidated me. I like grinding a simple spot and selling stuff on the Auction House. Always trying new spots and seeing what makes more gold each time. I’m excited for TBC cause it felt like some open world farms would be quite valuable to do. I dont know how much these meats will sell for or the leather’s I could’ve gotten.
Revenger flesh will be a good item to farm, actually most of the meats you will get will sell well for the first few weeks as players work to increase cooking skill.
After the first few weeks, I would focus on buff food meats and farm those mobs.
just take some time and watch the AH for a half hour or so every day and see what prices go for on a group of items you would normally come across. I’m going to be honest, I’m worried about going into the next xpac with so little gold. It’s just not been something I’ve worked much on this go around, lol, back in vanilla I was much better off for gold, now, LOL between all my toons, I currently have um, a very very pathetic 80 gold.
but dang it, I got the golden pearl for my runed arcanite rod on my enchanter LOL…to the tune of 55g. I do have a ton of mats though, well, ok, half a ton, enough to get partway leveled thru JC anyway…I hope.
Think about how many people will be doing that at launch… If you’re planning on grinding on mobs in HF or Zangar make sure you have an insta-tap ability.
Yeah! I did this more cause I was looking at wowhead comments and I had no idea how much meat to expect per hour here. So I just wanted to test and share. Not that it was going to be a good farm come TBC opening. Cause there’s going to be a mob of people killing these mobs.
