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.

That Time Of The Month Again...


I am talking about Darkmoon Faire it is back, hopefully fellow WoWers have quest to pass in and their Grisly Trophy quest completed. Don't forget you can do the profession quest every time the Darkmoon Faire comes around plus the game dailies.

You can read my hubpage which has more detailed info if you are new to learning about the Darkmoon Faire

This is not all though today starts "Love Is In the Air" which comes around every February as a world event. I had a busy day at work so today I won't get any fishing in.

However, the rest of the week should be an easy one and I should get lots of questing time in.

Gold Farming In The Mechanar, Gold Made

Well now that my auctions have ended we can see how much gold I made and what didn't sell. From my auctions that sold I was able to make 112 gold. Not to bad I suppose. My Bottled Nethergon Energy did not sell and my Don Santos Famous Hunting Rifle did not sell. Sadly after my rifle went up 2 others appeared with much lower prices.

It is time to take a look though and see what was made. The run itself took me a little over 30 minutes so we may as well round it off to 40 minutes or so.

Looting: 38 gold
Vendor Trash: 9 gold
Magic Armor/Weapons: 43 gold
Auctions: 112 gold


Total: 202 gold

Well this does not seem bad really but you can't make this type of gold unless your high enough level to solo the dungeon. This way you get all loot to yourself.

Gold Farming In The Mechanar

I decided to solo a random dungeon today, I went to Netherstorm and tired The Mechanar. It was not to bad I had a 2 BOEs drop and one was purple, Don Santos Famous Hunting Rifle.

From looting the corpses I got 38 gold. 3 of that gold goes to quest I did which only paid me a gold a some silver.
I was disappointed that I got hardly any Netherweave Cloth, I only was able to get 43 pieces. I guess some instances just pay out better then others.

What I got:

- 43 Pieces of Netherweave Cloth
- 25 Sunfury Signet
- 1 Arcane Tome
- 13 Mark of Sargeras
- 4 Greens
- Don Santos Famous Hunting Rifle (BOE)
- Pauldrons of Surging Mana (BOE)

Before I get sorting the big stuff I always sell my vendor trash first. After selling my vendor trash I made an additional, 9 gold. Not very much at all but that is ok.

Now becomes the hard decision of if I should disenchant the soulbound items or sell them and the greens. The last few days I checked the AH the prices were terrible on outland enchanting materials.

After looking at the prices on the AH I decided it was best to vendor trash these items to get the gold they are worth, I wouldn't disenchant enough for a stack of arcane dust which was selling for 38 gold. Upon selling my greens and soulbound items I made 43 gold from selling those off.

With my Netherweave I decided to tailor 2 Netherweave bags since I would make more gold. I know everyone can't make the bags out of Netherweave. If I was selling the 2 stacks of cloth I would make 20 gold (not including AH cut) By doing the bags I will make much more then that.

The hunting rifle also has a tough choice as I could of given it to my hunter. I am trying it at 3k so it may and may not sell. I am hoping since it seems a bit rare it will bring in some cash.

Here is the auctions:


I have them all set for 48 hours, so once they sell I will do a thread and let you know the total profit. I didn't keep entire track of how long the instance took, I beleive it took roughly 30 minutes almost though.
