farmed sm for 2hrs went from 8g to 42g
thats my best run ever there which i attribute to my new ability to really do massive dmg....at times im fighting 10-12 mobs (fun to see whirlwind hit them)
also vendored everything i got from sm with the exception of The Butcher (blue sword, boe) which goes for 15-25g, thats at the ah now

You still using a really slow axe for WW?
I've stopped buying thorium at AH, since I'm starting to need Arcane Crystals and other expensive gems, that I don't care to buy. I figure I'll mine the Thorium I need for all the Imperial Plate stuff.... not that I even need it anymore! All my gear is better than that stuff... sigh.

Nice shield... I'm hoping to go farm this one eventually, but it will require lots of random wandering in Azshara hoping for a spawn of the named elite... Avalanchion. I guess I'll work on my Timbermaw rep while I'm there, or something... wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=18673Zrog

got my bs to 290 last nite...learned the volcanic hammer recipe
ran around with bro in shimmering flats then walked him thru 1st part of sm, got him the key
i think i will waste the opportunity to buy the shield and just get my bs up to 300...then start farming...i really hate distractions...saw someone selling a purple plate helm in ogrim yesterday too but alas my bs is sucking up all my gold...
bah! soon i will have one less thing to lvl and then can move on to the next task
plan: lvl bs to 300 farm 500 gold buy arcanite reaper plans sell 3-4 reapers buy epic armor and 1h weapon go to mc

Rottenheart,
The Arcanite Reaper plans have an 8% drop rate off of Bannok Grimaxe in the Hall of Blackhand (LBRS). Would it be faster to run that instance a whole bunch rather than saving up the 500g?
He spawns in LBRS in the room before Wyrmthalak with the all the orcs and the cracks in the floor.
He's one of the orcs sleeping in the corner, but he's a rare spawn.
500g is a LOT of SM runs...

ive done some research on it...guys have had mixed results: some get it the 3rd time around while others reset the instance 99 times for naught
i am patient when it comes to such things i will farm for gold and when the time comes i will buy the plans
an 8% drop off a RARE spawn is not good...if he was a regular mob there i would go for it
the problem with going for it myself is that it is too time consuming to get a good enuff group together, then to reset the instance when he is either not there or does not drop the plans
no...500g from sm is not that hard, can be done solo, and should take 2 weeks of normal work, no need to put in extra hrs to get it...if i make 12g each run (more so if i get a blue that is not bop) and each run takes about an hour or until my inventory is full then that equals 30 runs at most
i play 2-3 hrs a day (morning and nite) so that is 10-15 days....i see no flaw with this plan other than i have to wait for someone to put it up for auction again and hope that no one outbids me...

spoke to mingmike last nite, guy trying to sell the reaper plans in org, wants 2000+ gold at least that is insane i will do some research to see just how rare a mob it is that drops the plans if people are going to be that unreasonable then my plan is foiled i, for perhaps the 3rd or 4th time ever am asking for help...those who group with me to get the plans will stand to make a percentage from my sales i understand that this may take a while but considering how much the reaper can sell for i anticipate that i will be able to compensate my party members sufficiently mal also told me of a place that several purples have dropped for him so i will try that for one week, starting tonite also got my bs up to 293 this morning if anyone has yellow power crystals pls let me know or send to me cod, whatever u think appropiate i also found this on the forums, rogue guild to soloing the mob: www.worldofroguecraft.com/bannok.html

Rottenheart,
I would totally help you with that mob, but I don't know where he is or anything. I wonder how long it takes to get there from the start of the instance?
I guess I'm going to have to get Dedread up some levels so that we have a priest for these things when we need one...
Zrog
P.S.- There's NO WAY buddy is going to get 2k+ gold for that plan. Even the best AH scammer isn't going to fork over that much money. I'd just wait until the next Reaper plan comes available and get that one.

Nice link, but as I suspected, it doesn't help me that much, since I haven't been inside LBRS enough to recognize the landmarks.
Since we don't have to go that far into LBRS, I wonder how many people we'd need to make it easy? Eight, maybe?
Other question: If Deathtoray is a rogue, how long would it take to level him to 60, so you could do solo runs? Probably longer than you'd like, eh?

i thought of lvling dtr just for that purpose but have decided against it...i keep him around my bro's lvl so i can help him without sucking up the xp
if my bro quits, he may due to the lag he gets, i will speed lvl him for that type of farming

almost got my bs to 300 last nite....no more mats at ah...argh!!
as it is 298 is not so bad
rotten is based in brill and farming in western plaguelands deathtoray is now based in booty bay
im down to only 30g now due to my bs lvling blitz...o well
i have 3 volcanic hammers left, going to the ah
left tainted last nite, they r a strange group, u cant sell to guildies....not even at huge reduced prices, wtf???
i offered to sell the volcanics to them at 6g each (worth 15, vendor for 4) and they chastised me, told me to donate them...wtf??
they were also trying to put together a group for azruagos (something like that) but there was too much pettiness and eventually fell apart
i figure as a lvl 60 i will get enuff invites so no more guilds
one strange thing: i am a lvl 298 weaponsmith but cant go axesmith yet...dont know where to get it...will do some research
