orld of Warcraft is an amazing game. This guide will show you the basics of gold
W making and progresses to the lesser known and sometimes more complicated ways
of making World of Warcraft gold. This guide does not use any bots or hacks as
getting your account banned usually means buying another copy of World of Warcraft and
starting over. Buying gold should never be done so I will do my best to share with you
techniques that will feed an auction house addiction and keep those pesky Gold Sellers away.

T
here are a total of 13 professions in World of Warcraft with 3 major gathering
professions at the front; Mining, Herbalism, and Skinning. These 3 are gold mines
as you level and play end game as all they require you to do is travel the world and
gather its resources for either your own use or to sell to other players.
Mining
Grab your Mining Pick and track some ore, it’s time to mine! Mining in World of
Warcraft is how you gather ore, jewels, and stones for use by blacksmiths, engineers,
jewelcrafters, and some other professions to make their items. Mining is also very lucrative
when you know where to go and how much it is going for on the market. As an example, I can
make a couple of rounds in Elwynn Forrest and easily have 140+ Copper ore to place in the
auction house usually going for 1-2 gold per stack of 20 and for gathering just a little over an
hour I have 7 gold or more in materials not counting any gems or stones I may pick up while
mining. Just remember, copper is the cheapest ore and as you make the rounds in higher level
zones your gold earning potential goes up greatly.

Items of Interest
As it stands there are a couple of items you want to keep your eye out for while mining.
The following is a list of the most well known drops to watch carefully for while mining their
corresponding ore:
As these gems are rare they usually auction for between 20 and 60 gold.

Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
As shown here, start in Goldshire then go down towards Fargodeep Mines and then
inside it, after coming out of the mine follow the hills up around to the Tower of Azora then
down to Dead-Tooth Jack’s area, up to the mountains then come back around the lake at
Heroes’ Vigil and then back to the mountains toward Stormwind and following them down to
the edge of the zone near Westfall and following that edge back to the Mcnabb farm and back
to Goldshire, rinse, and repeat.

Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
The route for the Barrens is also fairly simple. Start in The Crossroads and move up
towards the first hill then around it to the left side of the zone between the top two hills. From
there, run down the left side’s mountainous terrain and when you reach the bottom of the
zone, go to the right side. Follow the mountains up and circle the hills near Northwatch Hold
and follow those back up to The Crossroads. The route for tin is basically the same here as well
and you may run across quite a bit while looking for copper as tin has a 13.7% chance of
spawning on this route and copper a 12.6% spawn chance. The Barrens is truly a great place
for ore!
- 14 -

All rights reserved.
Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
Tin requires a mining skill of 65 and is your next step up from copper. The Barrens
route shown above is great for tin and the following route is great for all alliance in need of it.
Tin has a moderate sell price between 3 and 5 gold per stack of 20.
The Redridge tin route is a little complicated. Start from Lakeshire and head up towards
the mountains. From there, venture around those; up to and inside the Rethban Caves. Follow
your path back out and progress towards the right side of the map; following the mountains
around and back to Lakeshire. While you may not see many tin spots marked on this map,
along this route there is much more than meets the eye.

Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
Silver is next, it is very hard to find and can easily go for 5-7 gold per stack of 20. If
you are raising your mining skill, raise it on tin until 125 and reference the section on Iron
deposits, it is much easier and quicker this way. Silver can easily be found along the Redridge
route above or in the iron route for Arathi Highlands. It can also be found in the following
route for Thousand Needles along with iron as well. These routes will be covered in the Iron
section coming up next. Be sure to keep an eye out as silver is rare and worth it even if it
doesn’t get your mining skill up.
Iron will be our next step up and it requires a mining skill of 125 to go after Iron
Deposits. The following maps outline the best routes for mining as they have the highest
spawn rates for their faction’s areas. Iron on average auctions between 4 and 6 gold per stack
of 20.
- 16 -
© www.killerguides.com
All rights reserved.
Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
The route for Arathi Highlands is very diverse for the resources it yields including
Silver, Iron, Gold, and a little bit of Mithril. Simply start out at Refuge point and go north to the
area between a mountain and a couple smaller hills. Proceed east following the mountains and
(unless you are horde) go around Hammerfall and into the Grotto which is nearby. Then leave
the grotto and continue following the mountains surrounding the zone. You will come to the
Witherbark troll area. Making sure you are careful, go in the cave you find there; usually a
couple of veins or deposits spawn inside. Go back out of the cave and keep following the
mountains around until you reach the lower end of the zone. Then proceed back towards
refuge point but don’t go in, instead, go towards an ogre/troll area then up to the farm, down
the mountain range and back to refuge point. Rinse and repeat.
Thousand needles is pretty straight forward and short, while Arathi yields more,
Thousand Needles can be more convenient and accessible for some horde players. Simply start
out at the great lift, progress down the zone and back around sticking to the side of it or
around the hills and plateaus where it permits. One major rule for finding veins and deposits
is sticking to hills, mountains, or almost any other land formations composed of rock or dirt.

Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
Gold is after Iron, requiring a mining skill of 155, but like Silver it is very rare and not
worth banking on getting your skill up from finding it. For an easier and faster way to raise
your mining skill mine Iron until 175 and you can move up to Mithril. Gold is well covered in
the Arathi route, the upcoming Badlands, and Stranglethorn Vale Routes. Gold ore on most
days auctions between 6 and 9 gold per stack of 20.
Mithril is both profitable and sometimes a little hard to find as it is needed by many
moderate level professions (around skill 225 or so) and requires a mining skill of 175 to take
advantage of Mithril Deposits. Mithril can sell anywhere from 4 to 11 gold per stack of 20
depending on your server’s current market and the player needs.
Badlands can be a long route to run and is much easier after you have hit level 40 and
have your mount. Start out by the mountains near Uldaman and follow the mountain side
down the zone and into Lethelor Ravine. Be careful in the ravine as this path doesn’t go far
into it because of the level 44-47 elite dragonkin that spawn there. Circle back around and out
- 18 -

Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
of the ravine follow the mountain path down until you start curving up into terrain with a lot
of small hills and into the large plateau, then down and into the Dustbelch Ogre area. Follow
the mountains back up towards Kargath and the upper mountain line, and progress back to
your start point. It may be easier for Horde players to begin at Kargath and follow the path
around either way they please. There is almost a 14% spawn rate for Mithril here and this is
the best zone for it in World of Warcraft.
Next I will be including a route for Stranglethorn Vale and while it does not stand out
for a specific ore, it instead offers variety. It has a 12.7% spawn rate for Iron and a 9.8% spawn
rate for Mithril. Since many players quest here between levels 30 and 44 it is only fitting that I
show you where to look as you may be questing here a lot.
- 19 -
© www.killerguides.com
All rights reserved.
Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
Stranglethorn Vale is a very long zone and you must keep an eye out as this route runs
across places with lots of elites like the Mosh’Ogg Ogre Mound. This is a good route to
reference as you are questing and progress in level. If you want to raise your mining skill fast
go by the Badlands route as it is much quicker and has more Mithril spawns.
Truesilver follows Mithril on our list requiring a skill of 230 to gather. Truesilver
deposits spawn decently but Dark Iron has more spawns in the next couple of routes and it is
up to you to decide what to hunt down just to raise your skill points. Truesilver and Dark Iron
both can sell between 6 and 20 gold per stack of 20 depending on your server’s current needs
and market. Truesilver can be found in the upcoming Burning Steppes route at a 14% spawn
rate while Dark Iron deposits have a 37.1% spawn rate along this same route. Feel free to
follow the map and happy hunting!
Dark Iron is alongside Truesilver requiring a 230 skill and running the same route.
Burning Steppes is the best route for both of these and is in an area accessible by both horde
and alliance players; we will be covering it next.
- 20 -

Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
Burning Steppes is not for the wary but yields a great profit when ran through to
completion and even more if ran several times over. Like all other routes by the time you get
back to the start you should start seeing re-spawns of veins and deposits. A major rule is stick
to the mountains and hills and you will be good to go, pulling in profit fast and hard unless you
get in a race with other players. Just hit the high spawn areas (where you see the most squares)
or run the route in reverse and you will most likely come out on top and with bags of ore,
stone, and gems for your auctioning pleasure. Within this route you may also run across plenty
of Small Thorium Veins which happen to follow Dark Iron and Truesilver for mining skill
progression.
Small Thorium begins to find its way into your mining sack at a skill of 250 being the
next logical step to raise your skill points even higher. Stacks of 20 Thorium Ore can auction
from 11 gold all the way up to 25 gold. As with everything it depends on your server’s
economy and who actually needs it. Jewelcrafters love to prospect this stuff as it can yield an
Azerothian Diamond which auctions for about 11 gold each.

People love and people hate the crater; it yields great resources but is full of dinosaurs,
monkeys, tar people, and bugs trying to block your way. We start at the Lakkari Tar Pits as
many players have farmed these beasts for essence of life, traveler’s backpacks, and many other
items as they are moderately easy to kill and drop good loot. As with all paths follow the
mountains, go inside the caves you find, cross the hills, and then stick to the mountain range as
you are generally running one giant circle. I have even known players to organize a race
around the crater starting at Lakkari and going around the zone backwards from this route and
see who could complete 10 laps first or gather the most resources. Keep a close eye on any
crystals you may find on the ground here as they can give you special buffs when you complete
their quests and use the crystal pillars or they can sell in auction as well. Another place you
can farm here is Fire Plume Ridge in the center of the zone. The fire elementals drop Essence of
Fire (2.3%), Elemental Fire (5.8%), and Core of Elements (16.8%) which can make you some
good gold when placed up for auction.
- 22 -

Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
Rich Thorium veins require a skill of 270 for it’s ore to find your bags. The above
Burning Steppes route runs across a lot of it and you can run that route but I will also be
showing you a route for Eastern Plaguelands to find Rich Thorium. Thorium ore auctions for
the same whether it be from small or rich veins. Watch for Arcane Crystal, Blood of the
Mountain, or Azerothian Diamond while mining Rich Thorium Veins as these gems sell very
well.
EPL is not the preferred place to mine Thorium, Burning Steppes is, but EPL is usually a
low population zone now and if you can slay the undead and Scarlet Crusade in your way you
may find this route to your liking. Mostly stick to the mountains and the edges of the pits of the
zone and you should find yourself walking away with bags of ore in no time.
- 23 -
© www.killerguides.com
All rights reserved.
Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
Rich Thorium also has 2-3 spawns in Dire Maul East after the final boss. Generally a
short run (a couple of level 70s can make it in about 30-45 min.). If you are tired of treading
the overworld feel free to farm this instance with a friend as the loot is good and the veins are a
great bonus.
Now we will move on to Outland to gather its resources and conquer its foes. Once you
hit 275 you can learn to be a Master Miner and have a skill cap of 375 and gather Outland ore
where skill permits. Outland still offers some Rich Thorium Veins but none lower.
Fel Iron is amazing for prospecting as it yields Star of Elune, Living Ruby, Talasite, Nobel
Topaz, Dawnstone, and Nightseye each of which sell between 20 and 60 gold a piece with a
downside of only having a 1% chance for them to be prospected from the ore. A skill of 300 is
required to mine Fel Iron; Hellfire Peninsula has the highest spawn rate at 40.6%.
- 24 -

Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
This route is just meant to give you a general idea of where spawns take place and how
you may be able to progress through the area searching for ore. There are many dangers in
this zone so be as careful as possible and feel free to run your own path here mostly keeping
the mountainside and hills in mind. Also once you enter the Dark Portal there is a lot of Fel
Iron scattered around the area. Feel free to explore a little and have some fun mining.
Adamantite will carry you on next and it will last until 375 in terms of skill progression.
This ore is highly valuable and has no problem clearing for 30 gold per stack of 20. This ore is
very useful amongst all professions who use metal ore at higher levels, especially Jewelcrafters
and Blacksmiths. For Adamantite Deposits, Nagrand is the place to be!
- 25 -
© www.killerguides.com
All rights reserved.
Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
The Nagrand route carries you through a lot of interesting areas such as Oshu’Gun
where you can farm items for Consortium and Aldor reputation. Generally follow the path set
out here and enjoy! You will find yourself having a maximum mining skill and bags full of
Adamantite in no time. With this being such a valuable ore a flying mount is now easily in
your grasp, congratulations!
The above route for Nagrand will also take you across a few Khorium spawns; this rare
ore can sell for 60 gold per stack of 20, easily taking you to 100 gold per hour along this route
without even breaking a sweat. It shares the quality of being rare and non-prospectable like
Gold and Silver, keep this in mind when bartering with a Jewelcrafter.
Once you achieve level 70 and have a flying mount, mining becomes much easier in
Outland because you have the ability to fly over and spot ore with ease. This saves a lot of time
and unwanted mobs having agro on you.

Herbalism
Herbs are valuable not unlike ore. Usually players go with a combination of
Mining/Skinning or Herbalism/Skinning if they are making a character who is a gatherer.
Herbalism and mining both require a tracking skill but you can still mine ore and pick herbs if
tracking is not on.

Making maps for routes to run for herbs would be a rather difficult task as herbs spawn
locations vary greatly and could waste more of your time than it could help by you possibly
chasing down wrong locations. Use the above listed charts and explore these zones in the type
of terrain specified for each herb and you are sure to succeed with great speed. If you are
looking to raise your Herbalism skill hunt down the herbs in the order they are listed and
within the zones listed, soon you will find your herb pouch full and you will be rushing back to
the trainer to pick up the next level of Herbalism.

Disenchanting
Disenchanting requires destroying a green quality item or better to get materials for
enchanting abilities. This is invaluable when farming instances because of the amount of BoP
items you pick up that most likely will be of no use to you. This following chart shows what
you may get from the quality of item you disenchant.
Green Dust
Blue A Shard

Unofficial World of Warcraft Gold Guide
This next chart will be explaining what your enchanting skill needs to be before you
can disenchant higher level equipment. The higher you enchanting skill goes you can DE
higher level items, Enchanting was not always based like this but it was done to keep a balance
within the trade skill so you actually had to invest in an enchanter to take advantage of its
secondary skill.
Enchanting 1 Level 1-15 Strange Dust, Lesser or Greater Magic Essence, and Small
Glimmering Shard
Enchanting 25 Level 16-20 Strange Dust, Lesser Astral Essence, and Small Glimmering Shard
Enchanting 50 Level 21-25 Soul Dust, Greater Astral Essence, and Large Glimmering Shard
Enchanting 75 Level 26-30 Soul Dust, Lesser Mystic Essence, and Small Glowing Shard
Enchanting 100 Level 31-35 Vision Dust, Lesser or Greater Mystic Essence, and Large Glowing
Shard
Enchanting 125 Level 36-40 Vision Dust, Lesser Nether Essence, and Small Radiant Shard
Enchanting 150 Level 41-45 Dream Dust, Greater Nether Essence, and Large Radiant Shard
Enchanting 175 Level 46-50 Dream Dust, Lesser Eternal Essence, and Small Brilliant Shard
Enchanting 200 Level 51-55 Illusion Dust, Greater Eternal Essence, and Large Brilliant Shard
Enchanting 225 Level 56-60 Illusion Dust, Greater Eternal Essence, Large Brilliant Shard, and

The above chart only outlines the items that are possible to receive through
disenchanting and these items are not guaranteed to drop off of disenchanted items but give
you a great idea of what you might obtain. The reason for this is each item has a separate value
for what will drop from it being disenchanted. Using the above 2 charts together should give
you a great idea of what your disenchanted item may yield.
Prospecting
Prospecting is the ability to take 5 ore of almost any type and pull powders and/or gems
from it. The higher level ore, the better gems you receive, the chart below outlines what gems
are extracted from which ore and the powder for that ore.

Prospecting can turn into a lot of gold and this is why some people labor through the
process of leveling Jewelcrafting to receive better quality gems. From a stack of Fel Iron Ore
you can easily turn it into a Talasite and a Living Ruby along with some of the smaller gems
while the above two items sell easily for 60 gold combined the rest is just easy money.
Transmutes
Transmutes require a Philosopher’s Stone http://www.thottbot.com/i9149 and have a
cool down of 2 days. Items produced from transmutation are very valuable and usually highly
needed. A good example of this is Arcanite Bar http://www.thottbot.com/i12360 which is
needed by Blacksmiths to make some items and Mercurial Stone
http://www.thottbot.com/i31080 which is needed by Jewelcrafters to produce Mercurial
Adamantite for some of their higher level items. Before you start transmuting check your
current markets needs or simply post in a main cities trade channel something like, “WTS
Arcanite Transmute 3g with your mats!” The 3 gold is simply a tip, you will be burning a 2 day
cool down so when you transmute make sure there is profit to be made.
Another strategy is to just buy or find the materials and transmute a valuable item
yourself and as long as it is not BoP place it in the auction house and see what happens. I have
been able to easily sell an Arcanite Bar for 30 gold on more than one occasion. The high value
items that transmutation yields is why some players pick up Alchemy because you can also
transmute lower selling items to higher profit items like Essence of Air to Essence of Fire or
even transmute primal in the same way and save yourself some mote farming which we will be
discussing later in the farming chapter.

Blacksmithing
Blacksmithing is the ability to use bars of metal to make armor, keys, counterweights,
shield spikes, and using stones with cloth to produce items like sharpening or weightstones.
High level blacksmiths can produce amazing epic quality BoP items like any other profession
on the production side of things. Blacksmithing begins at mail armor later progressing to plate.
It contains several specializations like Armorsmith, Axesmith, Swordsmith, Macesmith, and
Weaponsmith; each of which has it’s own unique BoP items of great power.
Any blacksmith can produce sharpening stones and weightstones. These items provide
a passive way to add to a character’s DPS (Damage per Second) and sell quite well when
produced and placed up for auction. Below, I have provided a chart detailing skill needed, the
item, materials required for production, and each items approximate auction house value:

Alchemy
Alchemy is a powerful and needed profession as you can produce potions with various
effects, flasks of great power, and transmute materials. Your potions vary from being able to
heal, restore mana, give extra hit points, boost stats, grant invisibility, and much more. The
flasks you produce have huge effects and greatly boost stats and have amazing effects. These
even last through death while potions do not and this quality makes them very valuable
especially in a raid environment. Transmutes were discussed earlier and can make you a lot of
gold if used correctly.
Below, I have listed a chart of the best selling potions, alchemy skill needed, materials
needed to produce the potion, and approximate auction house value:

Leatherworking
Leatherworking uses skins and hides taken from creatures killed and then skinned from
a skinner. The specializations are Elemental, Tribal, and Dragonscale each which produce
amazing armor depending on your character and sometimes the player’s talent spec. Elemental
and Tribal are leather armor used either by druids or rogues while Dragonscale is mail armor
frequently used by hunters and shamans. BoP items made from these specializations are great
until you can raid and get better equipment (sometimes).
Leatherworkers can produce armor kits which add extra armor or stats when applied.

Enchanting
This is the art of magically improving a currently existing item. Producing wands, or
making magic oils; this is enchanting. High level enchantments are often sought after for
improving end-game equipment and are very valuable. Enchanting is a gold mine in it’s own
rite especially if you received your mats through disenchanting. You can easily make 100 gold
from each high level enchant you do this way, plus possibly a tip. This is a very valuable
profession to pick up but an expensive one to level as enchanting mats are rather expensive.
This is an amazing profession if you already have a max level character to fund the leveling of
this skill.
Engineering
Gadgets, Trinkets, and Bombs oh my! Engineering makes use of a variety of objects and
turns them into ingenious inventions. With engineering you can produce battle ready pets,
goggles, trinkets, gadgets, and even use a couple of teleporters. Gnomish and Goblin
engineering are the specializations within this trade skill. Gnomish engineering is taken
mainly for the trinkets and inventive gadgets it lets you make while Goblin is more for those
with an aptitude for explosives and extra damage potential. Epic goggles ranging from cloth to
plate are able to be made at an engineering of 375 and are very nice depending on what you
are looking for.
Engineers are well known for their bombs, but the problem with most engineering
goods is that only engineers may use them. EZ-Throw Dynamite is an exception to this rule
and when placed on auction usually sells very well.

Jewelcrafting
Jewelcrafting has a lot of gold making potential with the ability to make trinkets, cut
gems, and prospect ore. Cut gems give a variety of effects from raising attack power, boosting
stats, and even adding an extra oomph to your spells. Prospecting is discussed in a section
earlier and is a profession all in its own. Jewelcrafter’s can also produce trinkets, ring,
necklaces, and headpieces each of which has a unique effect. A jewelcrafter’s beginning rings
and trinkets can be used by low level players and usually sell well since nothing else is
available yet. As you grow in the art of jewelcrafting try to place blue quality items in the
auction house and high usability greens. Cutting gems for other players will make you a lot of
money at high levels (much like enchanting for an enchanter).
Cooking
Work your way from a kitchen monger to a five-star chef with cooking and fill your
friend’s stomachs with more than a Conjured Cinnamon Roll! Food produced by a chef in
World of Warcraft has a variety of effects from turning you into a ninja to boosting your stats
all while saving some money from food vendors and helping you recover your health a little
faster. A marvelous feast has utility as well as whetting your appetite.

dishes holds the power to transform its eater into a pirate or a ninja for an amount of time.
This dish can sell between 2 and 5 gold a serving.
First Aid
First Aid is a great way of reducing downtime by using cloth to make bandages that
when used restores health. Seek out the vendor in Arathi Highlands to get some first aid
training books and place them in the auction house for some profit as not many players
venture out to the zone and purchase them from the vendor.

Tailoring
This is the technique of sewing together bolts of cloth with other materials to create
clothing or special spellthread. Spellfire, Mooncloth, and Frozen Shadoweave are the
specializations for tailoring and have BoP items very useful to their respective type of caster. A
single spellthread can sell for around 60 gold and are rather useful to casters as they can work
like armor kits and give a boost to certain spell types.
Tailoring is the only profession that has the ability to produce bags. This skill is
extremely valuable because you only have to farm the mats and make the item and turn a
profit. Higher level bags sell easily for 10 gold each and can roll in some cash. Below is a chart
detailing what levels specific cloths drop and which bags need them as mats.

Lockpicking
Rogues of level 20 can complete a quest from their respective trainer to learn the art of
picking locks. Lockpicking requires a set of thieves tools in order to use and of course a locked
item as your intended target. As you level your lockpicking you can open different doors,
lockboxes, and chests. Players may ask this service from you as a rogue and it is usually a good
idea to ask for tips when opening lockboxes but you should not make it required. Tips are
always appreciated but should not always be expected as there are poor players without this
guide out there. When you are opening a chest for your group make sure to have auto loot
turned off so you do not pick up loot which may not be yours and save yourself from others
being very upset with you. Lockboxes can be received through pickpocketing oozes or
humanoids and also through kills. A lot of rogues usually advertise in trade channel of the
major cities which lockboxes they can open for players and say tips appreciated but not
required. This is a good way of making friends and a solid profit to line your pockets with gold.

here are items vendors sell that have a limited quantity only refreshed every few
T hours and sometimes days. When browsing a vendors’ inventory always keep an
eye out for any of these. They can be gear, recipes, or even materials or potions.
A strong point on limited supply items is patch release day. Before a new patch is
released keep an eye out on what content is added and what may be needed for attunement or
maybe a change in a profession or class. Stock up on these items as they will be cheaper now
than when the patch or expansion releases. After the said content is released inflation will hit
almost immediately and this is your opportunity to exchange your foresight into gold. Never
underestimate this tactic as it can prove very valuable to the vast amounts of gold it can yield.
With the evolution of World of Warcraft gear has changed and grown with it, this is
very true for class armor or weapon sets. Anytime you pick up gear that is part of a set or for a
specific class and you can not use it, and it is not BoP, there is much profit for your taking.
Keep these items set aside and always try and sell them for as much as possible because they are
rare and valuable to the majority of characters.

Instance Farming
Many things are accomplished through farming instances and the most important one
with the advancements of the Burning Crusade expansion is reputation farming. Rep farming
is needed by many new factions for some wondrous items and gear as well as some
attunements for instances pertaining to that faction. While rep farming may be a major part
there is still a great deal of good lot so grab a group and get ready to slay some bosses.
Azeroth
Azeroth has existed for many centuries and fallen age-old societies are ready for your
looting pleasure, Dire Maul being one of great interest.

http://www.thottbot.com/z1581
Target Items: Boss Loot and anything else that drops (Greed Run)
Location: Deadmines and Ragefire Chasm are usually farmed by alliance or horde
characters at least level 40. At 40 a character can solo these instances and take all loot for their
own to either auction off or disenchant for great profit. In each of these instances there are a
couple of BoE blue items, but sadly they only have about a 1% rate in dropping, but could be
sold for 15 gold or more!
