Gold - Options...

[adamkm 0]

Hi All

So I'm level 60 and need some cash! I was thinking farming Mara or DME (but heard that's nerfed?). I have 0 money making professions. Classes I have at 60 to farm with are:

Hunter
Mage
Druid
Rogue
Priest
Paladin

I don't have a warrior or warlock (or shammy obviously).

What's my options? These guys aren't very well geared, Hunter and rogue have devilsaurs (hunter has xbow from AV quest reward) rogue is dagger specced with Barman shanker. Pala is quite poorly geared, druid/priest have greens on and Mage has greens with +150 fire damage (not ideal I know!)

I can play well, Rogue got his own barman solo. 

Can't say I really fancy farming Mara for the hopes of 40g per hour selling blue boss drops repeatedly. Was hoping there was something maybe mage related (Fire/shatter build) that would work? bit more interesting. 

Any idea's please?

Thanks

Rogue goes someplace with plenty of Undead (Western/Eastern Plaguelands is fine).  Pickpocket everything you can.  Go back to Ravenholdt Manor and sell off the junk you get.  Turn in the repeatable quest items for the stuff you can sell for gold down in the basement at Ravenholdt.  Gain faction with Ravenholdt.  Just wear your Argent Dawn Emblem while doing this in case you have to fight something (damn Resist on Pickpocket attempts).

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Andorhal is obviously one of the closer places to pull off this trick, and obviously if you're doing this in a place that other PCs are "clearing" all the time that's even better, since respawns will have refilled pockets for you to pick all over again.  It's all low risk, decent reward stuff.  I did the "Andorhal Full Loot" rounds lots of times back in the day in order to finance mounts for multiple other characters.

Thanks Roxanne. Any idea on gold per hour? assuming no blue pick pocket items :)

No idea, I haven't done it myself on Darrowshire yet.  I just know that the strategy "works" although I'm sure that someone else will come along and tell you that there's a far more lucrative one somewhere else.  Pickpocketing Andorhal and Western Plaguelands generally is something that isn't reliant upon resetting instances, and depending on server population is something that doesn't even require fighting anything to do successfully.  In fact, letting other people clear the mobs while you clean out their pockets can be a rather successful cash flow strategy.  Best of all, if your Rogue is 60, you should have no trouble getting close enough to mobs in Andorhal to pick their pockets in a way that is relatively risk free.

Would this be superior to say, a hunter farming Maraudon or a Mage BRD aoe farming  Dwarves/Hounds? IN regards to rogue - I'm more afraid to level one over even the overplayed hunter - due to my guess of there being ZERO raid opportunities for a long while after the grind to 60. 

I figure on a hunter I can at least farm and hope that someday...lol.

On a side note - Census shows more mages than hunters ...heh (but, considering they are prime ranged dps in vanilla...)

Thanks.
