EJ loot system and feral/moonkin/shadow gear? - Page 3

Farming and economies vary server to server. However I assume on higher pop servers, the non-scaling stuff is worth more, meaning PvE specc'd players can do stuff like DM:E with it's 10 Gromsblood spawns to put away some gold.

Offhand but how many major mana potions are you going through a week? The only time I've been using them has been emperors/huhuran, with occassional usage of the superior mana potions in lower rank fights if stuff if going really bad (ie a lot of dead healers) I assume Ouro would need them as well, but you're a fair bit better geared than me.

Tickle me curious.

I tend to go through alot more GDS than major mana. GDS are so much cheaper to make and I end up getting a ton of useful herbs farming felwood in off hours. Icecap is such a pain in the ass.

As I mentioned -- YMMV. We tend to be pretty forceful about "All morons --> Door" so a priority system's downsides pretty heavily outweigh any potential benefits...

Pardon for inflamation.

GDS are really, really nice... on fights where you can use them.

Back to the original derail, I'm poor as all hell, but most of that is my own fault when I see what I think is a moneymaking opportunity and end up dropping 100g. I can usually farm just enough dreamfoil to finance my addiction. Also, it'll be nice when I'm actually selling my transmutes rather than stockpiling a billion living essences.

I dont see how you can need a lot of potions once things are on farm tho. I dont think i used even a single combat mana potion last AQ clear, and i had the most healing done of all priests, so its not like i am slacking on the heals. I got mageblood, mana oils and tons of major manas in my bags, but its just not needed.

On the original topic. My guild uses a zero sum system. All items have a set price, no upgrades or discounts of any kind. We have a general rule wich gives classes that will use the items for raiding gets prio on items, but being a guild with quite few members it dosnt take long before the main classes got what they need. I cant think of any shadow priest item i wouldnt be allowed to pick up. We really dont have any loot problems ever, but i guess that has more to do with our members then it has to do with our loot system.

Since the thread hast already been threadnapped....it is pretty easy to sustain your own needs. Do a 5 man here and there or go AQ20 or better ZG (more money drops). For this kind of farming you don't need dps gear and doing strat scarlet side can be pretty profitable. But then again, our raid supplies mana potions for our healers for new encounters, same applies to our tanks who get subsidized by our raidbank. Most raids should have enough cash to do this.
If you need cash, another way to farm it is to 20 man Onyxia. Nexus shards, quite a lot of gold and an 18 slot bag....plus you can sell a sinew if it drops.

DPS gear might be more of an issue if you do some rep grinds like circle of cenarius (7k rep to go to get Earthstrike).

Don't buy frivolous gear upgrades, save the cash you get sell the epic drops. He did say grind btw.

Galanna · 06/20/06, 9:39 AM

And don't get a crafting profession i suppose. Skinning/Herbalism or Skinning/Mining help a lot to raise funds while leveling.

I would be happy with 60 in 8 days, minus the gold. :(

• malthrin · 06/20/06, 10:20 AM

The new xp->gold system is ridiculously useful for making fast money on a new character/alt too. I recently hit 60 on my Warrior grinding/instancing most of the way from 55 and then at 60 I did all the EPL/Silithus/other random 55+ quests. Three days later, epic mount and money to spare.

Isn't the black sinew BoP?

i assume he means bringing an out-of-guild hunter and offering the sinew for X gold.

we were actually debating selling AQ40 quest items (bindings/helms/etc) since we're running out of demand for them, but i personally have no desire to bring a pug along to, say, twin emps or c'thun. :-P

Twid · 06/20/06, 12:46 PM

You could always go to the other raiding guilds that aren't close to the twin emps, but have been fortunate enough to get the armaments or regalia, and sell them your cleared path to the quest givers. I'm sure that would go for a pretty penny from all those rogues who want their pugios.
