Ive seen posts about locks and hunters farming DME. Mages farming ZF. All for cash or herbs or drops. Whats an ideal farm for a warrior? Also a spec? I was thinking a full plate tank gear with a fury/prot spec and a 2h mowing thru dungeons. What could i possibly be proficient at enough to kill and make some good cash?
Thanks.
If you are geared enough, get a healer friend and 2 man jump runs. 3 man is also fine but naturally cuts the profit.
Best money is probably reserving righteous orbs
You’ve got this mixed up friend. Locks and Hunters don’t generally farm DME (lasher farm is kind of nerfed to worthlessness for Locks).
Locks farm Mauradon for their raw gold mostly. Hunters can also farm Mauradon for raw gold, or if they’re engineer/BS, can solo Tribute Runs up in North. This is a mix of raw gold farm if they vendor the drops, and community generated gold if they sell the drops in /world /general /lookingforgroup after the fact.
In terms of GPH, Tribute is almost always the highest, but Mauradon is very consistent, and low effort. Similarly, Mages can solo farm DM:N trash packs like the doggos & bugs, but frankly, it’s a small GPH increase, and much higher risk of getting instagibbed, so ZF is still the preferred farm for most.
Now DM:E, is the warrior’s farm. It’s really our only dungeon farm, and even then it’s not soloable, you’ll still need a healer. Just like you needed a healer to tank Strat Live for orbs.
That said, you can do it easily with 2 people, just you and a healer, and runs generally take less than 10 minutes once you’ve gotten everything down to a science with your route.
Ideally the only things you kill at all the entire run are 2 patrolling satyrs, and 3 bosses.
If no one is a miner, you lose a lot of GPH potential from Arcane Crystal sales.
The way I typically do these runs, is one person loots everything. Keep a ledger to track what your gold is before you begin, and after. Then once you hit lock out (easy to run 5 in under an hour), vendor everything, and split the delta down the middle with your healer.
If you have big ticket items to sell on the AH, list out the values, take 5% off aggregate, and give them their cut. Rinse wash and repeat.
