Childrens Week

When I logged in today to participate in Children's Week I figured it would be the same old quest. Well during my Stormwind Orphan quest there was a new one. The quest is called "Crusin' The Chasm" You take your orphan to Westfall. The picture below shows what you will see.

When you find the gnome with the 2 choppers you know you found the right place. You hop in and the chopper does the driving. So you just watch the drive and the kid talking. As you can see from the next picture they get in some weird situations:

Each quest gives you some gold, so you are not entirely wasting your time! I got Mr. Wiggles and Willy for my pets today.

After Much Farming... I got, Vial of the Sands!

I never knew this mount even existed until I browsed the mounts in the auction house. It seemed cool and at that point forward I knew I needed it for my mage.

I have never had anymore than $16,000 gold on my account. I can thank Darkmoon Faire for most of my gold. All of the fishing helped me earn most of the gold I needed for this mount. Most days on my server this mount sells for 39 or 40k. Today I got it for 34k, I had enough and couldn't pass up the cheap price!

I really like the look of it and I find it cool because now my mage can transform to this mount.

Check The Auction House First

A classic mistake I have done myself a few times is log into a character, go out and farm copper for example without checking the prices on the auction house. *YIKES* Most of the time prices are stable, but there are times that even the mining items and cloth drops in value.

So before you decide "hey I want to farm mageweave cloth today." Don't do it until you check the price. Its a huge mistake when you come back and realize you farmed for a couple hours to discover you might only make 6 gold a stack, not good...

Some low level items sell decently and if you have a high level character it can become easier to grind the gold because being high level has one advantage. You can kill things faster, much faster.

If you are far away from a auction house I highly suggest making a character and not leveling him/her. Make this character and run them up to the auction house, this can be your bank toon. Just leave them in whatever city they are closest too. This way you will always have someone close to the auction house and you can easily mail your items to this toon.

I was thinking of this topic because I did this the other day (funny enough) I went out farming Wool Cloth and low level enchanting supplies. Only to find out Wool Cloth was selling for 4 gold a stack (On my server it normally is higher) and most of the enchanting supplies were very cheap.

So be smart and do that research before you head out!

Got Darkmoon Monkey

This monkey cost 90 tokens, you get tokens from games, and turning in quest on Darkmoon Island.



I tried to get 2 pictures of them. Sorry for the lack of quality. Anyhow I did cheat a bit to get this pet. Well not cheat but I spent gold I shouldn't of spent.

Off the AH I bought some quest to to start and pass into Darkmoon Island,

- Banner Of The Fallen
- Soothsayer's Runes
- Captured Insignia

I bought 2 other things but I forget what they were. Anyways just wanted to share that I got my monkey and I am happy, I like having lots of companions for my characters.

Embersilk Cloth Farming Locations In Twilight Highlands

If you are high level in the game, by now you probably are aware that Embersilk Cloth is a big seller on the auction house. All cloths sell decently though. I have been able to sell my stacks of Embersilk under 12 hours any day of the week. So it is heavy and in demand.

Some places drop it better than others, quicker even. The quickest spot though is Darkmoon Island. Go to Darkmoon Island run along the shore and fish crates. Some crates contain 11 pieces! Others 12! sometimes 9 or less. Most humanoids drop between 1-4 pieces and they don't drop them every time.

Of course a crate won't always drop them either but a high chance. So what is the problem with my suggestion? Well Darkmoon Faire is only once a month so you can see why it is a problem. Also the fact its rough competition and people will try and over fish your node.

So this thread was to talk about Twilight Highlands. I ran around to a few different spots and here are my findings:

Twilight Shore - In 10 minutes I got a stack of Embersilk Cloth while killing Axebite Marines on, Twilight Shore. They have 70946 health.

Alter of Ascension - Killed Dark Assassin and Twilight Vindicator, got 1 stack in 11 minutes.

Dunwald Ruins - Got 1-3 pieces of Embrsilk from Twilight Pillager with 70946 health.

Twilight Gate - Got 1-4 pieces of Embersilk Cloth, level 85 monsters. I was able to collect Embersilk the quickest while farming at Twilight Gate.



So Twilight gate was the best spot. Twilight Shore is nice only because these mobs are being fought, so their health is usually a bit down a tiny bit. Alter of Ascension and Dunwald Ruins did have fair drops but not in a big amount like I wanted.

So Twilight gate offered 1 - 4 pieces of Embersilk. You can use Potion of Treasure Finding. Now keep in mind these potions are expensive. On my server they are 70 gold a piece. And you won't get a chest off of all mobs. The chest don't always have embersilk either. The hour I used it was disappointing, I got 3 chest and 16 pieces of embersilk from those chest, gold and a green. I guess it was ok but I was hoping more chest.

After reading WoWhead I had discovered this potion and someone left a comment about using these potions in Deepholm at Needlrock Slag. I got to Needlrock though and discovered there were to many people, so I used the potion in Twilight Highlands instead.

If I had of followed the advice someone left then perhaps I would of had a better experience. I never went all over Twilight Highlands yet, so I may update this post once I do.

Another Day, Another $1,000 Gold?

Actually this title has a misleading amount, I am sure I will make $1,000 or more gold today. The Darkmoon Faire is back and I get tired of the daily quest on the Island. I do them to collect the prize tokens, but fishing is where the money is at.

I logged in today at 9:20am my time, shortly after this started fishing. I didn't meet anyone along the way! I used 3 Elixir's Of Water Walking. So in total I fished for 35 minutes and was able to get 35 crates. Not bad.

I got a lot of junk that won't be going on the auction house. However I did get, 5 stacks of Embersilk Cloth, 2 stacks of Obsidium Ore and potions. I have some items I will be selling with this batch to make sure I have full stacks of everything. I even want to sell a rifle I found, Don Santos's Famous Hunting Rifle. I am having a hard time getting rid of it though.

I should make at least $950 gold from my 35 minutes of work. And if my rifle sells that is another 900. So here is to hoping.
