Loot Hunters - Solo Farming Firelands - WoW Gold Guide

Let's continue soloing Cataclysm 25 player raids to find out which are the best ones to clear every week for a nice bit of extra gold. Next up is Firelands, home of Ragnaros. This instance is massive, so it will take considerably longer than The Bastion of Twilight which was discussed previously. However, big instances means lots of trash, and lots of trash means lots of gold!

Update: Added Firelands 25 HC Solo Gold Amounts to the post!

Loot Hunters - Solo Farming The Bastion of Twilight 25 - WoW Gold Guide

Many older raids become very easy to solo at level 100 with any class or spec, especially with the recent buff to soloing older content. We haven't yet solo farmed any Cataclysm raids, but now when level cap has raised, it gives us a good reason to pay a visit to these. Let's start with Bastion of Twilight in 25 player mode where loot is more abundant.

Loot Hunters: Farming Sunwell Plateau - WoW Gold Guide

It has been a while since we visited Sunwell Plateau the last time. Back then it was extremely difficult to solo any of the bosses and gold farming depended entirely on trash mobs, and even they proved difficult. But things are a lot different this time. Trash still drops a ton of valuable stuff, including transmog epics worth over 20k gold and super rare profession recipes. But what about bosses? Lets go hunt for some Loot!

Soloing Cataclysm Heroics for Gold - Part 9 - Grim Batol

Grim Batol is one of the best instances to farm. It's packed with mobs and almost all of them are humanoids, so there's a TON of Embersilk dropping here, not to mention other drops. If you are after Embersilk cloth, make sure to do the farming with a Tailor to get even more cloth! Read on to see how much wow gold was obtained from a single run which took less than 15 minutes.

Grim Batol is an excellent choice for some easy gold farming!

Soloing Cataclysm Heroics for Gold - Part 8 - Lost City of Tol'vir

Next up from the Cataclysm Heroic dungeons is The Lost City of Tol'vir. We have tackled this instance too about a year ago, but it was in normal mode. How much gold can you make if you clear the instance in heroic mode instead, solo? Normal mode was a gold mine, but let's see how much heroic mode gets after a year.

Soloing Cataclysm Heroics for Gold - Part 7 - The Vortex Pinnacle

A few more Cataclysm dungeons remain to be looted. Next up is The Vortex Pinnacle. Similar to the previous dungeon, many of you have already been solo farming this instance, as this is one of the dungeons where you not only get a good amount of wow gold, but also a bad-ass flying mount if you are lucky. Let's find out how much the loot is actually worth here when solo farming in heroic mode!

Loot Hunting Week: Soloing Cataclysm Heroics for Gold - Part 6 - Stonecore

Week has changed, but there's still more WoW Cataclysm Heroics to tackle. It's time to venture into Deepholm and into The Stonecore, to find out what kind of treasures awaits us there. So far Blackrock Caverns has been the most profitable Heroic to clear. Stonecore however is infamous for the amount of trash packs in there. Will Stonecore be even better than BRC?

Loot Hunting Week: Soloing Cataclysm Heroics for Gold - Part 5 - Throne of the Tides

Next up we'll be sinking into the Throne of the Tides Cataclysm instance, deep below Vashj'ir to find out how much gold you can make in this instance when soloing on Heroic mode. The instance offers teleports, so it's much faster to move around the place. However, there is less trash here than in the previous instance, Blackrock Caverns. Does that mean you'll be getting less wow gold here? Let's find out!

Throne of Tides is one of the fastest heroics, and the loot is not half-bad!

Loot Hunting Week: Soloing Cataclysm Heroics for Gold - Part 4 - Blackrock Caverns

During the first Loot Hunting Week, I'll be posting gold tips after experimenting with all Cataclysm Heroics to find out which of them is the best when it comes to solo gold farming. Now that the worst dungeons are behind, it's time to tackle the first promising Heroic: the Blackrock Caverns, which already was visited in the past, but in normal mode. Let's see how much wow gold you can get in Heroic mode!

Loot Hunting Week: Soloing Cataclysm Heroics for Gold - Part 3 - Hour of Twilight

End Time and Well of Eternity wasn't filled with loot. Next up is Hour of Twilight. Is this instance any better if you want to do some solo farming for wow gold? This is the last of the 3 endgame Deathwing related instances introduced in World of Warcraft Cataclysm. The previous 2 instances made little over 400 gold combined. It doesn't look good, but how much gold can you make in Hour of Twilight then?

Loot Hunting Week: Soloing Cataclysm Heroics for Gold - Part 2 - Well of Eternity

During Loot Hunting Week we'll be going through every Cataclysm Heroic to see which one is the most profitable to solo farm. Up next is the second part of Cataclysm's endgame Hour of the Twilight instances, The Well of Eternity. It's much like the previous instance, End Time, when it comes to the amount of trash. There's barely any trash here either, so it's not the most profitable instance to farm. Still, there's loot to be had! But how much?

Loot Hunting Week: Soloing Cataclysm Heroics for Gold - Part 1 - End Time

It's been a while since there has been Loot Hunters posts, so let's focus on some intense dungeon farming for a change! I will go through all World of Warcraft Cataclysm Heroics and see how long they take to clear, how difficult they are and more importantly, how much wow gold can you make per run! There will be new gold making posts more often until all of the Cata heroic dungeons have been covered.

Loot Hunters: Solo Farming Blackwing Lair

Blackwing Lair has been accessible by solo farmers since they made the first boss soloable some patches ago. Not many have gone here for gold making purposes, though. So the big question is: What kind of treasures can you find when you clear this place alone? Not even a raid group is required anymore, so this will be fast to clear!

BWL is a decent place to make some wow gold! But it does not beat Molten Core or Sunwell.

Loot Hunters - Soloing Icecrown Citadel

It's about time to talk about soloing ICC and Lich King. At level 90 this instance is as easy as the other recently mentioned raids, like Onyxia's Lair. However, especially Death Knights are at an advantage here, as they can control undead mobs, and Icecrown Citadel is full of them. Need a personal heal slave? Extra aoe? Massive nukes? You got it! This instance can be soloed both in 10 and 25 player difficulty and most heroic modes are also soloable.

Icecrown Citadel
This instance is massive. But massive instances means lots of loot!

Loot Hunters - Looting Halls of Origination

It's time for the last of the easiest Cataclysm dungeons. After this, only the heroic dungeons introduced via patches remain, such as Hour of Twilight. I'll visit those instances as well at some point so we'll see if it's a good way to make gold. Before doing that, there's some older raid instaces that haven't been visited yet, and there's also a few more rare mount farming posts in the line. But for now, let's see how much gold you can make if you visit Halls of Origination on normal difficulty!

Halls of Origination
This instance has lots of bosses, but not that many trash mobs. Can you still make gold here?

Loot Hunters: Grim Batol Solo Farming - WoW Gold Guide

Now we're gonna tackle a bit more challenging instance, Grim Batol. Even when not on heroic mode, monsters in this one like to hit like a truck, so one does not simply pull this instance with 3 pulls, unless in decent tank gear. However, the rewards are even better than those from the previous dungeon, Lost City Of The Tol'vir.

Grim Batol
This dungeon is a bit more difficult, but that only means the loot is more valuable!

Loot Hunters: Lost City of the Tol'vir Solo Farming - WoW Gold Guide

It's time to hunt for more loot in Cataclysm dungeons. There's still some of them remaining. Heroics won't be tackled this time, as all of them offer only slightly better loot and take longer to clear. The amount of loot each dungeon offers can be seen in the AOE Looting Cataclysm dungeons post.

The Loot Hunters contests have been scrapped for the time being due to lack of participants! The last reward goes to a random poster in the previous post. I will notify the winner later today. Check your PM in the Loot Hunter forum if you participated to see if you won! I still have some game cards at hand so those will be the prize today too!

Lost City of Tol'vir
This instance is perfect if you want to get some fast loot, as you can use your mount here and
do super big pulls.

Loot Hunters: Heroic Halls of Reflection Solo Farming - WoW Gold Guide

It's the third and final part of the Loot Hunters hunting for loot in the Icecrown Citadel 5-player instances. The last instance of these is a small disappointment loot wise, but at least it's more fun than the others, for some people at least. I can also start the next competition now!

Halls of Loot? Or not.

Loot Hunters: Pit of Saron Solo Farming - WoW Gold Guide

It's time for the part 2 of the Icecrown 5-player dungeon solo runs. Previously we tackled The Forge of Souls. Now we're heading through the next portal and into the Pit of Saron. How is this instance different from the Forge of Souls? Let's find out!

If you enjoyed the loot from Forge of Souls, then you should be pleasantly surprised here!

Loot Hunters: Forge of Souls Heroic Solo Farming

Forge of Souls is one of the most profitable 5-player instances to farm, if not the most profitable. There's many ways to make gold here, but there's 3 main drops that will make you rich. If you were playing during the end of Wrath of the Lich King, you may already guess which at least one of these items is!

This gold tip is split in three parts, so stay tuned for the next part: The Pit of Saron.

Previous Loot Hunter Competition ends once this three-parter gold making tip is published fully, so you still have a few days to participate and win! The reward is Game Time Cards this time. (US & EU)

Forge Of Souls is part of the three level 80 ICC instances, and is full of loot!
