Outland Dungeon Runner/Farmer (Part 1)

   Being a long time player, or a new player, getting gold is about the same. You can make gold by either farming materials, playing the auction house for profit, or you can take up a more creative approach where you make your profits from running old content instances.

   In this post, i will give you the outline, and what to expect from "farming" the outland instances.

HELLFIRE RAMPARTS

   This is the "intro" dungeon that you stumble upon once you get into Outlands. This is a rather quick run instance due to the fact that it only has 3 bosses. Before we get on with the whole shabang, you need to know that the profit from doing these instances mainly comes from being able to kill large amounts of "trash" mobs fairly quickly.

   But enough for the introduction part, lets get down to the facts and the possible profits that are there to be made.


Time Required  : 10 minutes ( This time may vary, basically how much you will need to loot all the bodies )
Items Acquired :
- Runecloth x 60
- Netherweave Cloth x 20
Gold Acquired : 40g (this is with selling the trash you get as well so this is a 10g +- )

   With the current prices that i checked where the Runecloth was 30g/stack and Netherweave was 20g/stack the average profit from doing this for an hour would net you a 894g/hour


SHATTERED HALLS


   Shattered Halls is another of the three instances that can be found in Fellfire Peninsula. This instance has 4 bosses which make is a tad bit bigger, but in reality it takes about the same time to finish as ramparts does.

   One of the things that are worth mentioning about this one, is that there are a few things that lower the profit per hour. What i mean with this, is the fact that there are "mobs" in there that you need to kill first or they will keep spawning new reinforcements that upon being killed leave no loot.

Time Required  : 10 minutes ( This time may vary, basically how much you will need to loot all the bodies )
Items Acquired :
- Netherweave Cloth x 40
Gold Acquired : 75g (this is with selling the trash you get as well so this is a 10g +- )
Average gold per hour: 690g/hour

BLOOD FURNACE

    Blood Furnace is the third and last instance in the Hellfire Peninsula. This is another instance that can be put in the same "quick run" group instances. One of the things that are worth mentioning about this instance is the fact that it has quite the number of humanoids in there, which in turn means that the quantity of cloth from there is going to be high.





Time Required  : 10 minutes ( This time may vary, basically how much you will need to loot all the bodies )

Items Acquired :
- Netherweave Cloth x 100
Gold Acquired : 75g (this is with selling the trash you get as well so this is a 10g +- )

Average gold per hour: 960g/hour


MANA TOMBS


   Mana Tombs is one of the instances that can be found in Terrokar Forrest. This instance has 3 bosses, and like the previous instances it can be done quite hasty, and in return give you some nice profits.

   There are quite a few groups of humanoids in here that are worth killing that will net you some nice profits.



Time Required  : 11 minutes ( This time may vary, basically how much you will need to loot all the bodies )


Items Acquired :
- Netherweave Cloth x 100
Gold Acquired : 75g (this is with selling the trash you get as well so this is a 10g +- )

Average gold per hour: 849g/hour


SHADOW LABYRINTH

   Shadow Labyrinth is the second instance that can be found in Terrokar Forrest. Unlike all the other previous instances that we covered in this post this instance will take you a bit more time to finish, but not that much that it will be unworthy to do it, but quite the opposite.

   This instance has 4 bosses, a lot of humanoids and all in all, a good "farming" spot. One of the things that are worth mentioning in this instance, that is different that all the ones that we've covered until now is the fact that the mobs in here have a chance in dropping Mark Of Sargeras, and Fel Armaments, which are both items used to increase your reputation with one of the fractions in Shattrah City.


Time Required  : 15 minutes ( This time may vary, basically how much you will need to loot all the bodies )


Items Acquired :
- Netherweave Cloth x 70
- Mark Of Sargeras x 60
- Fel Armament x 3
Gold Acquired : 80g (this is with selling the trash you get as well so this is a 10g +- )

Average gold per hour: 1386g/hour (this can be higher/lower depending on the prices you sell your Marks and Armaments)


This is about it for the first part from the Outland Dungeon Runner, but before we head out, there's one other thing i must tell you.


    While running all these instances you will come across green/blue items from all the mobs you kill, once you loot the item check it out and see how it looks like visually, because if you think it looks cool there's a good chance that someone else would think it's cool as well, and is willing to pay big for it now that transmogging is at the door. As an example the mace that you can see on the image here is a simple level 63 green item that just happens to look kinda like the T2 for Paladins. Well that resemblance is what made that item sell for 800g on the AH. So keep your eyes open for "eye candy" items, usually weapons, shields, helms and shoulders.

   So you have a comparative gold number given to each instance, but put the worth of the items you can get and sell as "eye candy" and your profits go dramatically up into the cha-ching zone.

   So, like always, keep an eye out for good opportunities out there.
