One gold farming method I used to do before the Auction House became connected to all servers was to mine Arcane Crystals from Thorium veins. Due to their somewhat low drop chance and back then the low availability on the AH, it made these perfect for farming. With flying mounts the process is made especially quicker. I remember that one crystal alone sold for about 1k gold, which in turn is used for making Arcanite Bars, used for making Sulfuron Hammer which together with Eye of Sulfuras creates the Ragnaros legendary mace "Sulfuras, hand of Ragnaros". Arcanite Bars are also used for legendary quality Enchanted elementium bars, used for the Thunderfury quest. In short, Arcane Crystals are a very lucrative farming method.
Oh yeah. I used to do this back in the day when I came back to WoW. Those enchanted elementium bars always were a hot item on the server I was in. But yeah arcane crystals are always a decent gold method
for the "raw gold is to low, auctionhouse price might be to optimistic" issue you could always take the middleground between rawgold and the average auctionhouse price, its still not perfect but i think its a better solution
Ty mate. Sorry I just saw your comment on the music vid: yeah in theory you can take any AI music and repurpose it. At least under US law....though most foreign jurisdictions will happily accept a precedent from the US unless there is a good reason not to.
I've been playing the gem market on a dying server and have paid for my sub via token since September ish last year and will have paid til December of this year currently via tokens. Its incredibly easy to do, just get every gem pattern that is useful, buy raw gems, cut, sell. Also looking to break into alchemy in cata, have potion spec already
Good idea, I suppose best combo of proffesions for this is Mining (for the khorium nodes) and Engineering to allow your character to have Nitro Boots since we want to run these dungeons as fast as possible. I think Rogue would be best to allow opening lockboxes, fan of knives and sprint talent upgrade. ** also being a worgen, Darkflight passive is busted for stuff like this.
That poor Cabal summoner.... he's really giving it his all.... but the way he's meleeing you with his wizard staff kinda points to the reason he failed out of magic school
Will you do a guide about Mists of pandaria remix on how to farm bronze? If you go to the golden stair in vale of the eternal blossoms there will be jobs you can kill which spawn very fast.
Yeah we do. Did you never have a toon in any form of classic? (not even vaniilla?). It is pretty easy to level in cata to be fair. Sorry I was just assuming almost everybody had dabbled in classic at some point.
@@archvaldor been playing since vanila, but never touched classic. All the old bugs and problems put me off, and I also simply didn't have time to run classic _and_ retail...
@@jlvfr "All the old bugs and problems put me off" Ah I see now. We kind of roll the opposite way round these parts...I'll try and make it up with something for retail soon.
2:45 Is this still bypassable by like, exiting the game, logging into hearthstone, and then logging back in and it removes the lockout timer? Did this a lot during wrath and SoD for dungeon leveling.
I'm just here so I don't get fined. But, no, in all seriousness love the content as per usual Archvaldor and I appreciate everything you do for the community.
Hey mate I always love it when I see a comment of yours. Are you thinking of anything specific you can share? I know wow secrets uncovered some stuff to do with the legion client (classic is basically an og xpac/legion hybrid) but I'm not sure what you might be thinking of. Ignore the question if it is something you value.
@@archvaldor Sorry I was mostly refering to all the bugs that happened on pre-patch (like the spellbook issues for example). Not really playing anymore so I sadly don't have anything I could share D:
I was experimenting with a raw editing/production style as people seem to actually prefer it if I use a raw production style. It seems more authentic with less polish. The downside is it may come off as sloppy in some places.
@@archvaldor I think some kind of outro or saying something related to video ending might help with people realizing the video is over, right now it ended very abruptly. Eitherway, great content, keep it up.
Wait you can do other instances after you hit instance lockout? Is this just for classic or is it for retail as well? And when the hell did this change happen
For both and you've been able to do this for ages probably since Legion. Not that any one ever mentions it except me-kinda weird given how important it is.
@@archvaldor SINCE LEGION?? WTF HOW HAVE I NOT KNOWN ABOUT THIS! Bro thank god for you and your videos FFS. I'm ashamed of myself for just finding out now and revoke my exploiter's badge. I don't even know basic game mechanics.
@@archvaldor Also PS I just found out that all the gear you get from mop TW event will be replaced when the event ends with 'normal' gear, including the OP cloak, so it's not viable for twinking in any way shape or form after words at that point. Most likely if you are under lvl 70 you will get green level gear which at lvl 20 is ilvl 41 at best, only 70s I assume will get full epics.
Duno if it works in classic but in retail you can hit instance lockout, log alt on another server, enter instance, reset instance then your instance limit is reset again
Are you new to wow? That's the normal situation. If you can't see damage numbers you may accidentally turned them off somehow. Type this into your chat box:/console floatingCombatTextCombatDamage 1 if this is the case. If you meant something else I'm sorry I don't understand.

Really interesting always meant to look into that will now. If I ever publish anything I'll be sure to give you credit.

Got excited until I realised I had no toons on classic outside of hard-core and season or discovery haha
Lol I was almost in the same boat when my primary account got banned. Pretty easy to level up though:)
@@archvaldor You originally made this channel in an attempt to get banned did you not? Mission success?

Thanks for the guide Archvaldor! I should really buy some tokens now because I always end up just stockpiling my gold in heaps and never spend it haha

Nice observations there Flop.
I wish I had time to play this game these days, I do miss playing with friends.
Dragonflight is much more time--friendly than other xpacs you might want to have a look. Lots of people are playing

Awesome! Glad to see a classic video as I am going to be playing Cataclysm this is nice. Video ended short tho?
Will you do a guide about Mists of pandaria remix on how to farm bronze? If you go to the golden stair in vale of the eternal blossoms there will be jobs you can kill which spawn very fast.
I checked the price for the wow-token on my realm during the free weekend and it was 30k sadly
I'm confused, don't we need to have a high level character in WoW Classic to do this? Or can we transfer a retail character to this?
Yeah we do. Did you never have a toon in any form of classic? (not even vaniilla?). It is pretty easy to level in cata to be fair. Sorry I was just assuming almost everybody had dabbled in classic at some point.
@@archvaldor been playing since vanila, but never touched classic. All the old bugs and problems put me off, and I also simply didn't have time to run classic _and_ retail...

Yeah. Never did that but I'm pretty certain that is basically the same mechanic achieved in a different way.

You cannot turn these wow token into bnet balance
thats why its only for token
It’s 15 dollars you don’t spend lol
Not surprised they haven't fixed a lot of stuff, hell, it seems they even *broke* a lot of stuff too :D

330k retail gold takes a few hours of jumping from tuskar box to tuskar box. repetitive? yup. painfully boring? yup. 200-1000g per box? yup.
The video cuts off at the end?

Good video, already watched it

Thank you for the video
Did you just say catas clysm 1:18?
You should have heard the unedited version. It was like a bad hand at scrabble.
@@archvaldor Nice.
