LFR Raw Gold Guide by Archvaldor (Summarized by Aernath) Requirement: Level 2 Garrison, Level 120 Char(s) 0) Use Garrison HS, talk with your Garrison LFR guy, then: 1) 1:40 Black Gate, Hellfire Citadel Skip trash, kill Archimonde, loot, port out. 2) 2:30 Destructor's Rise, Hellfire Citadel Wait 30 sec RP, Kill Fel Lord Zakuun, loot, port out. 3) 3:45 Bastion of Shadows, Hellfire Citadel Skip trash, kill Shadow-Lord Iskar as fast as you can, loot. Run to Soulbound Construct, skip trash, kill boss, loot chest, port out. 4) 5:35 Halls of Blood, Hellfire Citadel Run to the right door, go to Council, kill 3 minibosses, loot, port out. 5) 6:20 Iron Assembly, Blackrock Foundry Run to the right, skip trash, kill Beastlord, loot, port out. 6) 6:55 Go to Pandaria LFR guys: From Jade Forest portal fly to the west, to Seat of Knowledge, above Mogu'shan Palace. (Or if you're a Mage, port to shrine, then fly from your shrine to there) 7) 7:20 Dread Approach, Heart of Fear Talk to Lorewalker Han, select Dread Approach, kill all trash and all 3 bosses, loot, port out. 8) 8:25 Clear Bags Useful Addons: www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/crapaway www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/auto-seller *My Suggestions: www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/leatrix-plus (Especially for Faster Looting, Sell junk automatically and Repair automatically) www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/autovendor (Alternate to Crap Away and Auto Seller, it can filter the items you don't want to sell) 9) 9:15 The Nightmare of Shek'zeer, Heart of Fear Kill all 3 bosses, trash not important, loot, port out (sell Gauntlet Tier Tokens dropping here as they are) 10) 10:00 Terrace of Endless Spring Kill all bosses, loot, port out. 11) 10:30 Guardians of Mogu'shan, Mogu'shan Vaults Kill trash, first 3 bosses (up to Gara'jal the Spiritbinder), leave the last one, port out. (*If you want, farm the first chamber trash in Heroic, drops a lot of Mote of Harmony and Blues) 12) 11:35 Forgotten Depths, Throne of Thunder Kill Tortos, loot, port out. 13) 11:55 with this, we entered 10 raids and we should be at Instance Cap, but in fact Instance Lockout doesn't apply if you keep joining new instances. So we enter a different instance to bypass the lockout. 14) 12:20 Underhold, Siege of Orgrimmar Go right, skip trash, kill Malkorok, loot, use Garrison HS to go out. Fly to Gorgrond (or use an Ogre Waygate), go to Iron Docks to spend the hour for Instance Lockout. 15) 12:55 Iron Docks Dungeon Farm When you enter Iron Docks, mount up and run through all of it, when you gather everyone, kill, loot, run out. (*Iron Docks is best instance for gold farming in the whole game, you can make 5k raw gold per hour just running Iron Docks. That's why we weren't doing less accessible bosses in the LFRs) 16) 14:08 To complete the hour, either: I. Do Everbloom, which is near Iron Docks. II. (If all of Argus is unlocked) Go to Seat of the Triumvirate. Use Dalaran HS, go to Vindicaar from portal, port to the closest point and run to the instance. III. Or do a Garrison Invasion with 500g Secret Quest (Guide Here: th-cam.com/video/tnPACtntYHc/w-d-xo.html) 17) 15:05 Lei Shen's Pinnacle of Storms, Throne of Thunder When lockout passes, return to the Seat of Knowledge at Pandaria, choose this option. Skip trash, run to Iron Qon, kill, loot, don't leave instance, Go kill Twin Consorts, loot, port out. (*Alternatively you can also farm the trash before this boss up to 8 times by using an exploit, does not sound safe so I don't recommend that :b)
18) 16:30 Last Stand of the Zandalari, Throne of Thunder Mount up, run to Jin'rokh, kill, loot. LFR farm is done (on this char). 19) 16:55 Heroic Terrace of the Eternal Springs (*Optionally, you may also clear Heroic Mogu'shan Vaults and Heroic Heart of Fear but going to instances takes too much time.) 20) Enjoy 10k gold per hour. Repeat with any 120 you want. Thanks Archvaldor! ;b
@@haggus around 12 to 16k per run according to my experience, if you drop more weapons you get more gold and you can maximize it by doing it with alts ;)
The mail thing dose NOT send you actual raw gold, only items. So not looting will cause you to lose some gold if you just get everything from the mail box.
I actually perfected this method over the course of the past few months using 9 max level characters and there are plenty of tips you left out to maximize time and profit: When introducing archimonde, you saw the cutscene that plays when he dies, this can be annoying unless you have Azeroth Auto Pilot and use the feature that skips cut-scenes on it (Another VERY IMPORTANT thing to note is that once you're done killing each wing, use the macro "/script LeaveParty();" to leave the instance faster than opening up the menu in your portrait) In destructor's rise, killing fel lord alone is a waste of time and the second and third bosses are definitely worth it (if you skip too many bosses in general, i think it makes a much less satisfying run because of the gold you'll be mailing in) SPEAKING OF WHICH, ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT ADDON: Postal has a feature that auto-fills the names of your alts once it learns all of them which is actually priceless for the convenience of gathering all the gold on one character if you're going to be doing this multiple times a day Moving onto mists of pandaria: A common mistake by people using this method is that they dont vendor their items to Bran Bronzebeard because he appears as an archaeology trainer. Seasoned archaeologists will know that he is actually a vendor as well. Along with this, walking outside to use a mammoth mount is precious time wasted when you can get the addon "Dialogue Key" walk up to bran, press 2, and vendor everything to him. Another very important note is to sell ALL of the pets you get from the first three pandaria raids IF your server has a higher than average sale rate of them. They're part of a raiding with leashes achievement and many people dont know they drop from lfr. Other than that, i personally use a much more compact route as i like to do this run in about 10-20 minutes or so: Archimonde, Fel Lord, The Dude After Fel Lord, Mannoroth, Helfire High Council, Killrogg. All of Heart of Fear. All of Terrace of The Endless Spring. Mogu'shan is optional. Instead of filling out the hour to wait for instance lockout to stop being the worst thing ever added to the game, i actually use the game trying to stop me from playing the game as an excuse to stop playing the game since sitting around killing the same dozen bosses will make you crazy after weeks of using this method. Which is why i actually dont do this anymore myself, your mental health CAN AND WILL deteriorate if you do this on as many characters as i have. Its scary to think that the cap per realm is 50 now... Edit: You should also do WOD last after mists because it has a mailbox next to the queue npc
"When introducing archimonde, you saw the cutscene that plays when he dies, this can be annoying unless you have Azeroth Auto Pilot and use the feature that skips cut-scenes on it (Another VERY IMPORTANT thing to note is that once you're done killing each wing, use the macro "/script LeaveParty();" to leave the instance faster than opening up the menu in your portrait)" I'm sorry but I do not like that thing. I took against it when it refused to let me complete a quest in northrend. I DO NOT LIKE HAVING MY FREE WILL TAKEN AWAY BY AN ADD-ON. Aarrgh. You can use another add-on to skip cutscenes though. "In destructor's rise, killing fel lord alone is a waste of time and the second and third bosses are definitely worth it (if you skip too many bosses in general, i think it makes a much less satisfying run because of the gold you'll be mailing in) " There's a tradeoff there between gold per minute invested and total gold obtained. It very much depends what your goal is. There's no absolute mathematical answer without defining specific criteria. I tend to farm for short periods-for those who prefer marathon sessions more bosses are optimal. "A common mistake by people using this method is that they dont vendor their items to Bran Bronzebeard because he appears as an archaeology trainer. Seasoned archaeologists will know that he is actually a vendor as well. Along with this, walking outside to use a mammoth mount is precious time wasted when you can get the addon "Dialogue Key" walk up to bran, press 2, and vendor everything to him. " You can do that, yes. In the video I send lockboxes to my rogue immediately after vendoring-I have to go outside for that anyway. Additionally, in many instances (eg Tot, iron docks) you can mount up so it isoften just easier to vendor then generally with literally zero downtime. "Another very important note is to sell ALL of the pets you get from the first three pandaria raids IF your server has a higher than average sale rate of them. They're part of a raiding with leashes achievement and many people dont know they drop from lfr." I don't disagree at all with this one, and I was going to put that in the video, but then the comments section would have inevitably turned into a "pets don't sell" shitfest which is a distraction from the point here which i think we agree on, that this is a fast way to make raw gold. "Which is why i actually dont do this anymore myself, your mental health CAN AND WILL deteriorate if you do this on as many characters as i have. Its scary to think that the cap per realm is 50 now..." Absolutely. Don't overdo it. Wise words.
@@archvaldor Azeroth auto pilot does more harm than good occasionally, but its impossible to understate how helpful it is when youve been playing this game for years upon years. The mere thought of mousing over to the accept button on a quest sends shivers down my spine, and i use dialogue key's spacebar tactic as a backup even when i dont enable AAP just because i hate it that much.
@@SUScorporation that's the default behaviour, you can switch it to skip all cut scenes period, or none. The time saved can not be that great though, the game sometimes uses cut scenes to hide loading screens and stuff, so you can end up just twiddling your thumbs while the bridge in the Firelands loads for instance, giving yourself the option to skip/not can sometimes be preferable Edit: to explain further, you usually can save some time by skipping, but when there's going to be unavoidable downtime either way, I find that when I skip, I will feel compelled to wait till the obstruction is over to make the most optimal use of the time, when it would probably make more sense and healthier to use the interruption as an excuse for a bio break
@Valatore Not so. As Archvaldor mentions in this video, the city portals now go to Jade Forest. @Filthy Casual is correct that only mages have a portal to the Vale now. Not everyone knows the monk Class hall has a portal to Kun Lai. The flight from there to the Loremaster is slightly shorter than from the Jade Forest portal for Alliance. I don’t know about horde portal location in Jade Forest. I quit playing horde before MoP.
Love your videos so much! You really help me see the game in a different way. I've been unsubbed to WoW for several months now because I felt like I didn't have any purpose, but when I watch your videos I'm re-inspired to play and test out all your amazing information. Thank you! Keep them coming!
Aw thanks, I really enjoyed reading that:) It is such a lovely feeling when someone totally understands what you are doing on a deep and fundamental level.
I just want to say there is a shortcut to the Isle of Thunder if you want to go to the actual raid. If you queue up any LFR raids on the Isle of Thunder you can use the toy Kirin Tor Beacon to take you to the actual Isle of Thunder instantly without having to fly all the way there.
Oh yeah that's a good one-I was looking for an excuse to use it. Problem is that even with that trick it is difficult to make the heroic instance work because it is still a trek from the faction camps. Vital if you are a completist though, saves a lot of time.
As someone who doesn't farm gold and is very casual, this is an extremely helpful video for me. To experience content I haven't seen for a long time. Thanks for releasing this video. Props!
MoP LFR Order: 1. Dread Approach to the Heart of Fear 2. Nightmare of Shek'zeer 3. Terrace of Endless Spring 4. Guardians of Mogu'shan 5. Forgotten Depths beneath the Throne of Thunder 6. Underhold beneath Orgrimmar 7. Lei Shen's Pinnacle of Storms 8. Last Stand of the Zandalari
I find it funny that no one seens to pay attention to this. I'm altoholic and am sitting right now at 28 lv 120s. They all have their cheap benthic armor, and do a nice damage for old content like this. I farm literaly around 100k every week by just doing the WoD LFR with them. I already bought my brutosaur, spider and a few of the 300k to 500k stuff that is around. You also get some cool transmogs in the way.
@@Orpheeus97 It is! As I said, I of course do it over and over again with every characther. But since you just started and problaby don't have a lot of alts you can also go to the actual raids and farm them in Normal, Heroic and Mythic difficult, WoD ones drop 5-6 itens each boss, most of whats sell at any vendors for 40-60 gold. You get transmogs, and Mythic ones sometimes drop mounts. Super easy money!
@@manuelcastillo9526 I play about 2 hours most days. Sunday is usually the day I play the most, but I don't farm everyday. When I'm running low on gold I farm 2 or 3 chars everyday. It's 15k if I do only LFR, and 30k or so if I take the time to also farm at least one draenor raid in 3 chars
@@Pandastuck got the same amount of 120 alts sitting around and was looking at a new good way to make some $$ after legion, can you really run the wod and on raids in every difficulty with each char (so 3/week/char?)
Thanks you for this Archvaldor! I don't have much time to do auction house play due to my irl schedule, so I love doing raw gold farms like this. Have a good one and I appreciate your content!
small little bug I found, after the first boss of ToT if you use an inky black potion you are able to mount in the unmountable zone between the first and second bosses, this makes it alot faster
I didn't even know about the WoD Garrison LFR Vendor. I'm glad upgrading my garrisons wasn't a complete waste of time. Thanks mate! For people with minimal time available, this is ideal. Hearth to Garrison, complete the LFR's, Hearth back to your main hub, log-on to alt and repeat.
@Archvaldor'sWarcraftHacks mate there is a vendor to the left of the pandaria room with the LFR NPC, so you dont have to run out the room and mount up Edit: I mean when you que for Heart of Fear
thanks for another awesome vid Archvaldor, I'd also like to add as an option to getting to gorgrond quickly, is to use the underwater cave on timeless isle sit in the chair, click on the campfire to spawn in gorgrond directly. and then use Aviannas wings if you have them to get to the instance even faster.
lfr-norm-heroic-mythic brf & hfc clears in 2 hours 20 mins is 26k, can easily make 100K+ in a day on reset doing all the old cata mop and wod raids. I average 120k as a mage, and its well known, doing it for a long long time now.
OMG this makes raiding so easy. I had no idea you could get to raids like this. Much funner than running one dungeon 10 times an hour like someone else suggested. And you can make more money. Skyreach is boring and annoying with that wind feature slowing you down. I tested the LFR part in Draenor and Panda once so far and I'm making so much gold - 15k after doing all of the choices! I didn't record the time though. I'm sure to get faster when I run my two other 120s. And tomorrow raids reset....tons of cash for flipping or saving for my bronto mount! I joined your patreon and I see you have over 800 patrons now. :) I have to work more on legion to get into argus. I hope I can get into iron docks without doing too much work in draenor - just to open it is a huge time suck. I've been spoiled by the free 100 110 and 120 I got from upgrading wow. It's coming back to haunt me because I can't even fly in draenor or legion.
a tip for the pandaria part is to have ur hearthstone set there. since u can get everywhere else faster with dalaran hs and other teleports available to all classes
I did Archimonde and T'Kuun yesterday with my boosted 110 Protection Paladin, and neither of them dropped more than around 70g (counting both actual gold and the vendor price of items) each, and Archimonde also had no loot on the second attempt, even after an instance reset. I assume Blizzard may have changed things since you posted this video. Also, the instance lockout for the Iron Docks in my experience, (another instance which I have farmed, following your suggestions) only allows one run per 18 hours on Heroic difficulty. Blizzard seem to have massively tightened up the Heroic lockout times, since I was only able to run Heroic Trial of the Champion twice before being locked out of that for 17 hours as well.
I did the WoD bosses you mention in 8 minutes for around 1200g which seems really nice. ;) Now moving to Pandaria as a non mage character i port to SW and then Shawdon (spelling) Village, then taxi to Shrine and fly to the LFR guy which takes me around 3 minutes (give or take 5/10 seconds). Then i did Dread Approach on HoF which took me around 6 minutes (i can do this faster once i learn how to clear the rooms faster) which brings me to the total of 2000g for 17 minutes; Then NIghtmare for a total of 2750g and 21 minutes; Terrace for a total of 3450g and 26 minutes; 3 bosses at Mogushan 4000g and 30 minutes; Tortos 4250g, 31 minutes Lone boss at SoF and port to garrison: 4400g, 33 minutes. Taxi to Iron Docks got me to the 36 minute mark, one run at mythic: 5200g, 43 minutes. Then i got bored :D. So by my experience i suppose i'll be trying it again so i can do it a bit faster. Anyway those 4000g for the 1st 30 minutes is very good. Thanks and congratulations there ;)
What i like most about this farm is that on top of the raw gold you will occasionally get pets that can be worth farming for even without the raw gold (20k in pets that are popular enough that they sold in less than 2 days, on top of the raw gold);
Yeah those are a nice bonus. I didn't mention them because then many people would assume they had to sell things on the ah to make decent gold and miss the point completely, but you can make a nice stream of gold.
Here something that you can do in Draenor during the lockout time. If you have a level 3 Barn in your garrison and at least 1 character with a Trading Post, farm Savage Bloods from the beasts in Nagrand. One order equal one blood (with follower working at the barn) which averages 50 gold when traded at the Trading Post. The max number you can put into the Barn at one time is 36. (Starts at 26, forgot what to do to get there.) If you use your classes speed/distance skills effectively, you can catch 36 in easily 10 minutes. 10 minutes for 1800 gold worth of work. Sure, it takes about a week for every order to go through, but this is a video about doing weeklies anyway. If you're down the creatures in one hit, no problem. Just get naked. Seriously! Your gear is too overpowered for them. One or two punches will put them in the range of getting trapped. If you do this with multiple alts, you will end up with a bunch, A BUNCH, of mats. You could put them in the Auction House, but let's stick to the theme of raw gold here. Stash them until one of the mat traders visits one of your characters garrisons. 75 mats (leathers/furs) equals 25 Primal Spirits which you can sell to the Primal Trader for 1 Blood, in turn, about another 50 gold. A solution for if you find yourself with too many mats to move. Of course, you can use 1000 Garrison Resources for a Barn Rush Order. That will complete 5 orders instantly, giving you 5 Bloods and an average of 100 mats. Lumber Mills are very friendly for this, but gathering wood in order to get an extra Rush Order or two is a little time consuming. If you do go with this plan, just add an extra 5 traps per Rush Order. Honestly, the worst part about this is trading the Savage Bloods for the sacks of gold. You can only buy one at time and then you have to click the sack in your inventory. I hope you have Auto Loot enabled. If there's an addon for opening such items in your inventory, I recommend doing something like that. No, the real worst part is if you didn't have a level 3 Barn on any of your characters in the first place. Only a level 3 Barn can process Savage Bloods, but you can only get the plans for the upgrade after making 125 orders! At four hours to process an order, it will take 500 hours or ~21 days! ...Yeah, those Rush Orders shave off just a little bit under a day. A lot of work for a very profitable 10 minutes a week, but you only need to do it once per account. Then the level 3 blueprints can be bought by any character. Sweet, sweet mercy! Again, this is not taking the Auction House into account. This is the expected bare minimum. Don't underestimate or neglect your Garrison!
hot shots fired at vaulty :D keep these guides up they are amazing and saving my ass from being benched by my guild due to not being able to afford consumables
@@albertgeorgy6827 It is a quick accumulation of gold, raw gold, that adds up. The concept is not about making a millions gold in looted item value but instead making raw gold in a short time that can be done weekly.
Hey, I just found your channel after starting to get serious about trying to get a Brontosaur before the expansion ends and I love the route. I do have one question/suggestion though. I see that you go to the Socrethar after Iskar and was wondering is that really a faster route/kill than going to Xhul'horac after Zakuun? Theres only 1 set of minibosses to get the boss and its a straight shot from Zakuun's room. As another bonus, right after the fight (in LFR) you get ported directly to Mannoroth, so there would be no downtime there. Any thoughts?
I think you might well be right. The point of the video is "you can use LFR to eliminate the downtime running between bosses"-something no one else has ever mentioned. I didn't mathematically optimize every transition I'm just going on hunches which are somewhat subjective anyway, so there's a lot of scope for improvement.
Raw gold is generally not a high enough gold rate for me to consider it patreon-worthy. I will in fact post a raw gold guide in the next few days on patreon but that will essentially present the information in an upcoming public video. Any sizeable raw gold dupes I find will be on patreon only but those don't come up that often.
@@archvaldor Ah yea that makes sense, miss raw gold farming so much :cc, just watched the new vid! I enjoyed it, been pretty much makin all gold from callings/WQs, Really like all the efficiency advice you put out, makes it a lot more fun...used boosting as a way to make gold too but now thats gone as well, time to cry
thumbnail shows 8k-12k gold/hour, video shows 25-30 mins of work for at maximum ballparking 1250 gold, once per week, and that's being super generous marking each item @50g vendor, which a majority weren't. Good clickbait though, i fell for it. ._.
update, followed up on to checking your other method, which involves "100+g per minute in iron docks", but not only is that purely from the AH values (of which your thumbnail points out "no AH/no BS"), also, you sound oddly smug about all of this information that's just wrong. Other videos on your channel you've pointed out things most of the community knew about before you made some grand reveal to them, but act like you're in some top knotch one of a kind service which you offer people.. And if your this much of a liar just through youtube, i'm terrified of who all you're scamming on your patreon, lmao...
I mean, people, including myself, have been doing this every week just running all lfrs. 6-8k for all mop lfr, 7-10k for WoD lfr, 4-6k running normal through mythic in Highmaul, 9-13k for running Blackrock Foundry, and to cap it out, Hellfire on normal and heroic for 7k. All can be done in about 5-6 hours of runtime each week.
Vaulty is a comic genius. Did you see that video? where he kills a lvl 10 boar with a musical accompaniment of...I'm not making this up....the James Bond music.....
Hey arch, just want to tell you a potential glitch for world quests we can take it to messages but it isnt going to be too prioritized by blizzard because they only happen once in a while.
Without running the last 2 heroics in this guide, I made 6,867 raw gold following this video to the letter. Heroic FL gives more for an hour of trash farming and you are not bouncing all over Hell and half of Delaware. Take a potion of treasure finding and and just kill trash for 9 runs should take you 45 mins max, then complete the raid for the 10th run that simple.
Not really time efficient but well when there is nothing in the game to do, i run all of the LFR wings of WOD and MOP and normal/heroic/mythic of WOD raids and heroic 25 MOP raids and get 20-25k raw gold per character i do it on per week. Takes me roughly 3-4 hours per character per week if im going fast.
Muggles Cake Sniffer sadly this is the reason i rarely do these runs since its just not worth my time for what you get for the effort Compared to farming ore for about half an hour and getting around 15k out of it depending on node luck
What class/race would you best recommend for farming gold especially if your someone that like farming dungeons and the best professions to help with it . for both factions if possible
Most serious gold farmers seem to going with kitty druid. Professions is a big subject-gathering is a good introduction (mining and herbing). Faction doesn't really affect gold farming that much.
The point of these raw gold videos is to avoid the AH. The AH is almost completely dead for me-I'm not selling anything but mats for current content. I would not be motivated to spend any time trying to sell legacy items at this moment in time because literally no legacy items are selling fast or even at all. If that strategy works for you I'd strongly encourage to make a video yourself (it will get lots of views) and I'll help promote it and say I was wrong.
@@archvaldor Thanks for the reply and yeah AH can be pretty bad at times also has some of these raids been recently nerfed as some of the previous comments say?
Instance lockout is counted per global instance. So if you hit instance lockout but you haven't done a siege of orgrimmar vision you can run it, but if one of those ten runs was part of throne of thunder you can't run another tot vision. Btw adsense is a very minor part of my income. I have no reason to drag out videos-in fact I try to make them as short as possible.
Hey man just wanted to say a thanks for the Heart of fear farm tip, With the right DH vengeance build ive been able to get my runs down to a fine art getting instance lock in 13 mins farming over 2.2k gold with just vendoring items (thats not including the time for lockbox opening though so bit over 13 mins) Great tips man love ya work!
Sounds like you did most of the work optimizing that with the DH-really interesting concept. I imagine infernal strike makes that amazing. Maybe publish a video yourself:)
@@archvaldor I've thought about it but at the moment I'm using that income to learn more about trading and stuff, to me its become the game recently and a little other stuff on the side. Anyone reading this comment with a little tinkering on what you have already given out freely can work it out.
If you think this is helpful, I'd highly recommend becoming a Patreon. The community is helpful, and if you have a question, you can expect them and Archvaldor to get back to you (on average)within a day
Cool little pretty useless tip if you are on a Vendor mount and you queue for lfr when you leave you will still be on it making for slightly faster selling
For the WOD garrison, you need to go to the Dark Portal in Blasted Lands and speak to Khadgar. Follow the questline and boom, you will get your garrison.
Ya, correct. I try to make these things error-free but in practice it is almost impossible, there are so many ways to mess up when you are struggling to finish something at 3am:)
Farmed a lot of gold with your advice! great video and *highly* appreciate the editing. Didn't have to watch and listen to 90% bullshit like certain other videos.
ok i have a really bad memory and really dont want to load up this video every time i want to do this so does anyone know of a way i could get an add on to track this for me?
There are a couple of tools you could use (I use them regularly so I know this works). Pencil and paper. Use the pencil to write this down on a piece of paper. Bam! No more loading the video every time! Just a bullet pointed list. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. :)
This isn't alliance specific. The seer is in the horde garrison also. The pandas in the seat of knowledge can be used by both factions. There is almost no practical difference.
@@archvaldor Ah ok. thanks. Just noticed he was using an alliance char and wasn't sure because I haven't gotten my garrison done yet I'm only lvl 114 but I've done the iron docks thing and though it's not getting me as much because of my level and not having a bunch of aoe attacks that slows down the process. too bad their wasn't a shortcut out of it instead of needing to walk all the way back the way you came lol. but was helpful thanks.
Hey, Archvaldor. Just as a question: How worth do you, objectively, think is it to become a patreon of yours? I have played around with the idea ever since the Mogu'Shan Vault video but I am not entirely certain how many of this sort of methodic farming you have on your patreon. So far the Vault method has been the most lucrative one for me personally, as I prefer to do the same run several times over doing several different things on different characters.
I don't think you can be objective. For example I have an active gold dupe on the patreon which I know I could have sold to a private buyer for $3000. But a lot of people would have difficulty making the most of it and some don't even understand why it is so valuable and never will-this stuff isn't for everybody. A lot of people are simply just scared of getting banned. My guess is you are a chill person who likes casual gold farming and gameplay (no bad thing) so my guess would be this is not for you, but if you ever get curious you will be very welcome:)
@@archvaldor if anything that answer probably just got you another patreon x3 Though next months when my finances are in order again and I can ser if I can actually spent the money ^^
I'm confused, I did all the raids by talking to the NPCs and granting visions to the locations, i waited an hour for reset after finishing and now I don't get loot from any of the bosses? And I'm in a lock for 6 hours? Am I just stupid or what??
No you aren't stupid I probably should have explained this better. Each individual boss can only be done once per character per lockout. When you have done all the bosses on all your max level characters you can just run iron docks ten times and then everbloom once that's about 5 and a half K gold per hour, or just quit for the week. Right now I'd actually also strongly recommend doing herbing/gathering at max level because that's crazy profitable before a raid-you do have it sell on ah but the mats will sell super fast.
No reason not to run full Iron Docks. You might to just kill the trash around the first boss in seat-the reason is that this is a GREAT ten minute raw gold farm which can be run repeatedly. If you kill all the bosses then that is it for the week. Even though I tend to pursue higher returns than you get from any raw gold farm, sometimes I just kill all the trash till lockout for fun when I have ten minutes only before I have to do something in RL.
So question i might have just over looked this or am just having issues thinking it through but how is this hourly if you kill the bosses cause I thought if you killed them it became locked and they didn't re spawn for another weekly reset
Yep this is weekly. Once you get locked out, do skyreach (see video for skips) and/or iron docks and/or other draneor dungeons and/or seat of the triumvirate (if you have it unlocked) and/or freehold (if you have excellent gear).
@@LordNeltharion Yah. What you are trying to avoid is running, say, all the way through SOO because that's really inefficient, so do the LFR bosses where you can port straight into a boss and then split. Doing Docks or Skyreach is going to be faster after you've done the cream of the crop.
It seems that happens if you are within level range, ie 100-110. If you level to 111 I think you get the full drops. I'd recommend getting the toon to 120 though, it isn't very efficient below max level.
It's very clear he's doing this for hype. Said no one has posted a video like this too.... This is one of the oldest videos on the market for raw gold. He's acting like LFR has never been thought of before.
@@archvaldor Dunno why YT didn't notify me of the reply. Yeah, I agree, there's still lingering bugs from vanilla in BFA. Not really sure what their bug fix team is doing. I think they only really care about exploits if it actually breaks the game in some fundamental way. Otherwise, the 15$ a month they get from 1.5 million people, apparently just isn't enough to justify fixing most of the game.
This video got over quarter of a million views, and has a high like to dislike ratio (especially for this channel which is controversial in nature). So, obviously for many people, yes, it is worth it. If you mean "can I make more doing other stuff"? Yes, you can. There are dozens of methods on my patreon which yield significantly more profit, sometimes 400-500% more. However, they are not always easy, without risk or fun to do.
Ah you'll need to set one up. You should be able to go to stormshield in draenor from the portal room. Fly over to shadowmoon valley and there should be a exlamation mark on the shore in the northwest corner. Follow the quests - it takes roughly 10-16 mins to set up a level two garrison and get seer kazzal.
Can this only be done once a day or something? tried running the LFR stuff for the second time and no loot drops and no gold drops? or am I doing something wrong?

LFR Raw Gold Guide by Archvaldor
(Summarized by Aernath)
Requirement:
Level 2 Garrison, Level 120 Char(s)
0) Use Garrison HS,
talk with your Garrison LFR guy, then:
1) 1:40 Black Gate, Hellfire Citadel
Skip trash, kill Archimonde, loot, port out.
2) 2:30 Destructor's Rise, Hellfire Citadel
Wait 30 sec RP, Kill Fel Lord Zakuun, loot, port out.
3) 3:45 Bastion of Shadows, Hellfire Citadel
Skip trash, kill Shadow-Lord Iskar as fast as you can, loot.
Run to Soulbound Construct, skip trash, kill boss, loot chest, port out.
4) 5:35 Halls of Blood, Hellfire Citadel
Run to the right door, go to Council, kill 3 minibosses, loot, port out.
5) 6:20 Iron Assembly, Blackrock Foundry
Run to the right, skip trash, kill Beastlord, loot, port out.
6) 6:55 Go to Pandaria LFR guys:
From Jade Forest portal fly to the west, to Seat of Knowledge, above Mogu'shan Palace.
(Or if you're a Mage, port to shrine, then fly from your shrine to there)
7) 7:20 Dread Approach, Heart of Fear
Talk to Lorewalker Han, select Dread Approach, kill all trash and all 3 bosses, loot, port out.
8) 8:25 Clear Bags
Useful Addons:
www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/crapaway
www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/auto-seller
*My Suggestions:
www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/leatrix-plus (Especially for Faster Looting, Sell junk automatically and Repair automatically)
www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/autovendor (Alternate to Crap Away and Auto Seller, it can filter the items you don't want to sell)
9) 9:15 The Nightmare of Shek'zeer, Heart of Fear
Kill all 3 bosses, trash not important, loot, port out (sell Gauntlet Tier Tokens dropping here as they are)
10) 10:00 Terrace of Endless Spring
Kill all bosses, loot, port out.
11) 10:30 Guardians of Mogu'shan, Mogu'shan Vaults
Kill trash, first 3 bosses (up to Gara'jal the Spiritbinder), leave the last one, port out.
(*If you want, farm the first chamber trash in Heroic, drops a lot of Mote of Harmony and Blues)
12) 11:35 Forgotten Depths, Throne of Thunder
Kill Tortos, loot, port out.
13) 11:55 with this, we entered 10 raids and we should be at Instance Cap,
but in fact Instance Lockout doesn't apply if you keep joining new instances.
So we enter a different instance to bypass the lockout.
14) 12:20 Underhold, Siege of Orgrimmar
Go right, skip trash, kill Malkorok, loot, use Garrison HS to go out.
Fly to Gorgrond (or use an Ogre Waygate), go to Iron Docks to spend the hour for Instance Lockout.
15) 12:55 Iron Docks Dungeon Farm
When you enter Iron Docks, mount up and run through all of it, when you gather everyone, kill, loot, run out.
(*Iron Docks is best instance for gold farming in the whole game, you can make 5k raw gold per hour just running Iron Docks.
That's why we weren't doing less accessible bosses in the LFRs)
16) 14:08 To complete the hour, either:
I. Do Everbloom, which is near Iron Docks.
II. (If all of Argus is unlocked) Go to Seat of the Triumvirate.
Use Dalaran HS, go to Vindicaar from portal, port to the closest point and run to the instance.
III. Or do a Garrison Invasion with 500g Secret Quest (Guide Here: th-cam.com/video/tnPACtntYHc/w-d-xo.html)
17) 15:05 Lei Shen's Pinnacle of Storms, Throne of Thunder
When lockout passes, return to the Seat of Knowledge at Pandaria, choose this option.
Skip trash, run to Iron Qon, kill, loot, don't leave instance, Go kill Twin Consorts, loot, port out.
(*Alternatively you can also farm the trash before this boss up to 8 times by using an exploit, does not sound safe so I don't recommend that :b)
18) 16:30 Last Stand of the Zandalari, Throne of Thunder
Mount up, run to Jin'rokh, kill, loot.
LFR farm is done (on this char).
19) 16:55 Heroic Terrace of the Eternal Springs
(*Optionally, you may also clear Heroic Mogu'shan Vaults and Heroic Heart of Fear but going to instances takes too much time.)
20) Enjoy 10k gold per hour. Repeat with any 120 you want.
Thanks Archvaldor! ;b
i wish there was a way to personally pin comments, thank you for this
@@haggus thank you too! ^^
Aernath btw so when i finish all of this how much gold do i make total (avg)
@@haggus around 12 to 16k per run according to my experience, if you drop more weapons you get more gold and you can maximize it by doing it with alts ;)
Aernath nice so i can make 120-160k a day
The mail thing dose NOT send you actual raw gold, only items. So not looting will cause you to lose some gold if you just get everything from the mail box.
Thanks. You are right. Bad mistake, must try harder....
@@archvaldor You could also scrap the items and get lots of gold for mats?
@@Sammy-zj6oj cant scrap things that is below BFA lvl
@@MrHamphus ah.
Maybe no scrap but disenchant it with draenor enchanting building? I guess Blizzard unlock disenchant for all expansions not just before draenor...

Ty a lot
Here is TH-cam gold 🇦🇱
I actually perfected this method over the course of the past few months using 9 max level characters and there are plenty of tips you left out to maximize time and profit:
When introducing archimonde, you saw the cutscene that plays when he dies, this can be annoying unless you have Azeroth Auto Pilot and use the feature that skips cut-scenes on it (Another VERY IMPORTANT thing to note is that once you're done killing each wing, use the macro "/script LeaveParty();" to leave the instance faster than opening up the menu in your portrait)
In destructor's rise, killing fel lord alone is a waste of time and the second and third bosses are definitely worth it (if you skip too many bosses in general, i think it makes a much less satisfying run because of the gold you'll be mailing in)
SPEAKING OF WHICH, ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT ADDON: Postal has a feature that auto-fills the names of your alts once it learns all of them which is actually priceless for the convenience of gathering all the gold on one character if you're going to be doing this multiple times a day
Moving onto mists of pandaria:
A common mistake by people using this method is that they dont vendor their items to Bran Bronzebeard because he appears as an archaeology trainer. Seasoned archaeologists will know that he is actually a vendor as well. Along with this, walking outside to use a mammoth mount is precious time wasted when you can get the addon "Dialogue Key" walk up to bran, press 2, and vendor everything to him.
Another very important note is to sell ALL of the pets you get from the first three pandaria raids IF your server has a higher than average sale rate of them. They're part of a raiding with leashes achievement and many people dont know they drop from lfr.
Other than that, i personally use a much more compact route as i like to do this run in about 10-20 minutes or so:
Archimonde, Fel Lord, The Dude After Fel Lord, Mannoroth, Helfire High Council, Killrogg.
All of Heart of Fear. All of Terrace of The Endless Spring. Mogu'shan is optional.
Instead of filling out the hour to wait for instance lockout to stop being the worst thing ever added to the game, i actually use the game trying to stop me from playing the game as an excuse to stop playing the game since sitting around killing the same dozen bosses will make you crazy after weeks of using this method.
Which is why i actually dont do this anymore myself, your mental health CAN AND WILL deteriorate if you do this on as many characters as i have. Its scary to think that the cap per realm is 50 now...
Edit: You should also do WOD last after mists because it has a mailbox next to the queue npc
"When introducing archimonde, you saw the cutscene that plays when he dies, this can be annoying unless you have Azeroth Auto Pilot and use the feature that skips cut-scenes on it (Another VERY IMPORTANT thing to note is that once you're done killing each wing, use the macro "/script LeaveParty();" to leave the instance faster than opening up the menu in your portrait)" I'm sorry but I do not like that thing. I took against it when it refused to let me complete a quest in northrend. I DO NOT LIKE HAVING MY FREE WILL TAKEN AWAY BY AN ADD-ON. Aarrgh. You can use another add-on to skip cutscenes though.
"In destructor's rise, killing fel lord alone is a waste of time and the second and third bosses are definitely worth it (if you skip too many bosses in general, i think it makes a much less satisfying run because of the gold you'll be mailing in) " There's a tradeoff there between gold per minute invested and total gold obtained. It very much depends what your goal is. There's no absolute mathematical answer without defining specific criteria. I tend to farm for short periods-for those who prefer marathon sessions more bosses are optimal.
"A common mistake by people using this method is that they dont vendor their items to Bran Bronzebeard because he appears as an archaeology trainer. Seasoned archaeologists will know that he is actually a vendor as well. Along with this, walking outside to use a mammoth mount is precious time wasted when you can get the addon "Dialogue Key" walk up to bran, press 2, and vendor everything to him. " You can do that, yes. In the video I send lockboxes to my rogue immediately after vendoring-I have to go outside for that anyway. Additionally, in many instances (eg Tot, iron docks) you can mount up so it isoften just easier to vendor then generally with literally zero downtime.
"Another very important note is to sell ALL of the pets you get from the first three pandaria raids IF your server has a higher than average sale rate of them. They're part of a raiding with leashes achievement and many people dont know they drop from lfr." I don't disagree at all with this one, and I was going to put that in the video, but then the comments section would have inevitably turned into a "pets don't sell" shitfest which is a distraction from the point here which i think we agree on, that this is a fast way to make raw gold.
"Which is why i actually dont do this anymore myself, your mental health CAN AND WILL deteriorate if you do this on as many characters as i have. Its scary to think that the cap per realm is 50 now..." Absolutely. Don't overdo it. Wise words.
@@archvaldor Azeroth auto pilot does more harm than good occasionally, but its impossible to understate how helpful it is when youve been playing this game for years upon years. The mere thought of mousing over to the accept button on a quest sends shivers down my spine, and i use dialogue key's spacebar tactic as a backup even when i dont enable AAP just because i hate it that much.
I think something like bigwigs bossmods has an option to skip cutscenes you have already seen
@@NooraTiistola DBM does but you have to sit through the whole thing once per character i believe
@@SUScorporation that's the default behaviour, you can switch it to skip all cut scenes period, or none.
The time saved can not be that great though, the game sometimes uses cut scenes to hide loading screens and stuff, so you can end up just twiddling your thumbs while the bridge in the Firelands loads for instance, giving yourself the option to skip/not can sometimes be preferable
Edit: to explain further, you usually can save some time by skipping, but when there's going to be unavoidable downtime either way, I find that when I skip, I will feel compelled to wait till the obstruction is over to make the most optimal use of the time, when it would probably make more sense and healthier to use the interruption as an excuse for a bio break
For monk and the Pandaria section, use legion class hall port to Kun Lai - a bit faster than Jade Forest
@The Filthy Casual Doesn't Dalaran have a portal to the vale anyway?
@@themorgenix4848 not anymore
@@aidansantos977 Oh well, Stormwind and Orgrimmar still do
@Valatore Not so. As Archvaldor mentions in this video, the city portals now go to Jade Forest. @Filthy Casual is correct that only mages have a portal to the Vale now. Not everyone knows the monk Class hall has a portal to Kun Lai. The flight from there to the Loremaster is slightly shorter than from the Jade Forest portal for Alliance. I don’t know about horde portal location in Jade Forest. I quit playing horde before MoP.
@@MisterLobb My mistake, I have my main hearthstone set to Vale and always have because it's the easiest to access Pandaria content for me
Love your videos so much! You really help me see the game in a different way. I've been unsubbed to WoW for several months now because I felt like I didn't have any purpose, but when I watch your videos I'm re-inspired to play and test out all your amazing information. Thank you! Keep them coming!
Aw thanks, I really enjoyed reading that:) It is such a lovely feeling when someone totally understands what you are doing on a deep and fundamental level.
I just want to say there is a shortcut to the Isle of Thunder if you want to go to the actual raid. If you queue up any LFR raids on the Isle of Thunder you can use the toy Kirin Tor Beacon to take you to the actual Isle of Thunder instantly without having to fly all the way there.
Oh yeah that's a good one-I was looking for an excuse to use it. Problem is that even with that trick it is difficult to make the heroic instance work because it is still a trek from the faction camps. Vital if you are a completist though, saves a lot of time.
@@archvaldor -- Yeah, I usually use it for fast travel for Nalak kills when I farm Panderia world bosses.
As someone who doesn't farm gold and is very casual, this is an extremely helpful video for me. To experience content I haven't seen for a long time. Thanks for releasing this video. Props!
I made this precisely for people like you, the feedback is really helping me establishing whether I reached the intended audience.
MoP LFR Order:
1. Dread Approach to the Heart of Fear
2. Nightmare of Shek'zeer
3. Terrace of Endless Spring
4. Guardians of Mogu'shan
5. Forgotten Depths beneath the Throne of Thunder
6. Underhold beneath Orgrimmar
7. Lei Shen's Pinnacle of Storms
8. Last Stand of the Zandalari
Didn't know about the Solo LFR queuing. That saves a lot of time, thanks!
To, I was really suprised.
@@_Lis25 Thanks for the feedback guys I figured there were a lot of people who didn't know about it but it is difficult to be sure.
I find it funny that no one seens to pay attention to this. I'm altoholic and am sitting right now at 28 lv 120s. They all have their cheap benthic armor, and do a nice damage for old content like this. I farm literaly around 100k every week by just doing the WoD LFR with them. I already bought my brutosaur, spider and a few of the 300k to 500k stuff that is around. You also get some cool transmogs in the way.
Really? Im really having a hard time making gold (New player here) i didnt know that WoD LFR was that good
@@Orpheeus97 It is! As I said, I of course do it over and over again with every characther. But since you just started and problaby don't have a lot of alts you can also go to the actual raids and farm them in Normal, Heroic and Mythic difficult, WoD ones drop 5-6 itens each boss, most of whats sell at any vendors for 40-60 gold. You get transmogs, and Mythic ones sometimes drop mounts. Super easy money!
Time in week? I got 3 tokens a week but take a lot of time...
@@manuelcastillo9526 I play about 2 hours most days. Sunday is usually the day I play the most, but I don't farm everyday. When I'm running low on gold I farm 2 or 3 chars everyday. It's 15k if I do only LFR, and 30k or so if I take the time to also farm at least one draenor raid in 3 chars
@@Pandastuck got the same amount of 120 alts sitting around and was looking at a new good way to make some $$ after legion, can you really run the wod and on raids in every difficulty with each char (so 3/week/char?)
Thanks you for this Archvaldor! I don't have much time to do auction house play due to my irl schedule, so I love doing raw gold farms like this. Have a good one and I appreciate your content!
Not really that great considering you can only do it once a week..
yeah, but if you have multiple max levels it adds up
small little bug I found, after the first boss of ToT if you use an inky black potion you are able to mount in the unmountable zone between the first and second bosses, this makes it alot faster
I'm one of those poor peoplez so I appreciate these videos. Thankz for making them!
Oh ty mate, I made this vid exactly for people like you the feedback is really helpful.
I'm with you @zonger 420, between working 2 jobs these videos are exactly what I need.
I didn't even know about the WoD Garrison LFR Vendor. I'm glad upgrading my garrisons wasn't a complete waste of time. Thanks mate!
For people with minimal time available, this is ideal. Hearth to Garrison, complete the LFR's, Hearth back to your main hub, log-on to alt and repeat.
@Archvaldor'sWarcraftHacks mate there is a vendor to the left of the pandaria room with the LFR NPC, so you dont have to run out the room and mount up
Edit: I mean when you que for Heart of Fear
LOL. Yeah you are right. I just love my mammoth. I've got out of the habit of using npc vendors.
Omg no way that you replied, that honestly made my day
thanks for another awesome vid Archvaldor, I'd also like to add as an option to getting to gorgrond quickly, is to use the underwater cave on timeless isle sit in the chair, click on the campfire to spawn in gorgrond directly. and then use Aviannas wings if you have them to get to the instance even faster.
Still waiting for Imperial Commandos
Been doing this for weeks now! Now our *secrets are exposed! Haha, inb4 nerf bat. Keep the videos up
Same lol, been doing panda lfr for a while
How much is this totally per hour?
lfr-norm-heroic-mythic brf & hfc clears in 2 hours 20 mins is 26k, can easily make 100K+ in a day on reset doing all the old cata mop and wod raids. I average 120k as a mage, and its well known, doing it for a long long time now.
Is it possible to do multiple difficulties in one week? If I do normal, can I do heroic and mythic after? I'm confused with those lockouts
@M81 Just curious, is the 120k average raw gold? Is this on one character?
OMG this makes raiding so easy. I had no idea you could get to raids like this. Much funner than running one dungeon 10 times an hour like someone else suggested. And you can make more money. Skyreach is boring and annoying with that wind feature slowing you down. I tested the LFR part in Draenor and Panda once so far and I'm making so much gold - 15k after doing all of the choices! I didn't record the time though. I'm sure to get faster when I run my two other 120s. And tomorrow raids reset....tons of cash for flipping or saving for my bronto mount! I joined your patreon and I see you have over 800 patrons now. :) I have to work more on legion to get into argus. I hope I can get into iron docks without doing too much work in draenor - just to open it is a huge time suck. I've been spoiled by the free 100 110 and 120 I got from upgrading wow. It's coming back to haunt me because I can't even fly in draenor or legion.
a tip for the pandaria part is to have ur hearthstone set there. since u can get everywhere else faster with dalaran hs and other teleports available to all classes
well the faction hub in pandaria :)
I did Archimonde and T'Kuun yesterday with my boosted 110 Protection Paladin, and neither of them dropped more than around 70g (counting both actual gold and the vendor price of items) each, and Archimonde also had no loot on the second attempt, even after an instance reset. I assume Blizzard may have changed things since you posted this video.
Also, the instance lockout for the Iron Docks in my experience, (another instance which I have farmed, following your suggestions) only allows one run per 18 hours on Heroic difficulty. Blizzard seem to have massively tightened up the Heroic lockout times, since I was only able to run Heroic Trial of the Champion twice before being locked out of that for 17 hours as well.
You don't get full loot below 120. This has always been the case. Blizzard don't care about this. Docks has always been one time only on heroic.
OK, thank you for the clarification.
Still works great in 8.3, did just the Hellfire citadel part and made nearly 7k gold
Only did the WoD part or only hellfire citadel part? 7k is pretty insane for less than 15 mins of work
The Vaulty shade never ends.
Always love your gold guides thanks again arch :) still need to watch all of this soon!
is no one gonna talk about how this man just casually ripped into vaulty lmfao
You must be new here. I do that a lot.
lmao yeah i am very new here but regardless people throwing shade at vaulty isn't surprising to me at this point, if anything i find it entertaining
I did the WoD bosses you mention in 8 minutes for around 1200g which seems really nice. ;)
Now moving to Pandaria as a non mage character i port to SW and then Shawdon (spelling) Village, then taxi to Shrine and fly to the LFR guy which takes me around 3 minutes (give or take 5/10 seconds).
Then i did Dread Approach on HoF which took me around 6 minutes (i can do this faster once i learn how to clear the rooms faster) which brings me to the total of 2000g for 17 minutes;
Then NIghtmare for a total of 2750g and 21 minutes;
Terrace for a total of 3450g and 26 minutes;
3 bosses at Mogushan 4000g and 30 minutes;
Tortos 4250g, 31 minutes
Lone boss at SoF and port to garrison: 4400g, 33 minutes.
Taxi to Iron Docks got me to the 36 minute mark, one run at mythic: 5200g, 43 minutes.
Then i got bored :D.
So by my experience i suppose i'll be trying it again so i can do it a bit faster. Anyway those 4000g for the 1st 30 minutes is very good. Thanks and congratulations there ;)
What i like most about this farm is that on top of the raw gold you will occasionally get pets that can be worth farming for even without the raw gold (20k in pets that are popular enough that they sold in less than 2 days, on top of the raw gold);
Yeah those are a nice bonus. I didn't mention them because then many people would assume they had to sell things on the ah to make decent gold and miss the point completely, but you can make a nice stream of gold.
Here something that you can do in Draenor during the lockout time.
If you have a level 3 Barn in your garrison and at least 1 character with a Trading Post, farm Savage Bloods from the beasts in Nagrand. One order equal one blood (with follower working at the barn) which averages 50 gold when traded at the Trading Post. The max number you can put into the Barn at one time is 36. (Starts at 26, forgot what to do to get there.) If you use your classes speed/distance skills effectively, you can catch 36 in easily 10 minutes. 10 minutes for 1800 gold worth of work. Sure, it takes about a week for every order to go through, but this is a video about doing weeklies anyway.
If you're down the creatures in one hit, no problem. Just get naked. Seriously! Your gear is too overpowered for them. One or two punches will put them in the range of getting trapped.
If you do this with multiple alts, you will end up with a bunch, A BUNCH, of mats. You could put them in the Auction House, but let's stick to the theme of raw gold here. Stash them until one of the mat traders visits one of your characters garrisons. 75 mats (leathers/furs) equals 25 Primal Spirits which you can sell to the Primal Trader for 1 Blood, in turn, about another 50 gold. A solution for if you find yourself with too many mats to move.
Of course, you can use 1000 Garrison Resources for a Barn Rush Order. That will complete 5 orders instantly, giving you 5 Bloods and an average of 100 mats. Lumber Mills are very friendly for this, but gathering wood in order to get an extra Rush Order or two is a little time consuming. If you do go with this plan, just add an extra 5 traps per Rush Order.
Honestly, the worst part about this is trading the Savage Bloods for the sacks of gold. You can only buy one at time and then you have to click the sack in your inventory. I hope you have Auto Loot enabled. If there's an addon for opening such items in your inventory, I recommend doing something like that.
No, the real worst part is if you didn't have a level 3 Barn on any of your characters in the first place. Only a level 3 Barn can process Savage Bloods, but you can only get the plans for the upgrade after making 125 orders! At four hours to process an order, it will take 500 hours or ~21 days! ...Yeah, those Rush Orders shave off just a little bit under a day. A lot of work for a very profitable 10 minutes a week, but you only need to do it once per account. Then the level 3 blueprints can be bought by any character. Sweet, sweet mercy!
Again, this is not taking the Auction House into account. This is the expected bare minimum.
Don't underestimate or neglect your Garrison!
That's a great write-up. Stick it on a blog and slap on an adsense link you'll make a few pennies.
I’m playing again because of your videos and enjoying WoW again.
Jewelcrafters and Blacksmith's can also open the lockboxes with cheap keys if you don't have a rogue
Cameron Carson those keys aren't cheap at all on my realm, though scroll of unlocking are.
Great vid, but seems a tad dated now any chance of some addon updates,Cheers
I know this is a old video but why am I not getting any loot anymore?
hot shots fired at vaulty :D keep these guides up they are amazing and saving my ass from being benched by my guild due to not being able to afford consumables
They should be providing them
Martijn Van hoof if poor why not farm ? I have to make all mine because I am so poor in game.

Soo...you just do lfr?... not too much gold
@@albertgeorgy6827 It is a quick accumulation of gold, raw gold, that adds up. The concept is not about making a millions gold in looted item value but instead making raw gold in a short time that can be done weekly.
what's the addon you mentioned to quickly sell the boss loot? I couldn't quite make it out...... =(
but I only get one item, it is not profitable.... help
Hey, I just found your channel after starting to get serious about trying to get a Brontosaur before the expansion ends and I love the route. I do have one question/suggestion though. I see that you go to the Socrethar after Iskar and was wondering is that really a faster route/kill than going to Xhul'horac after Zakuun? Theres only 1 set of minibosses to get the boss and its a straight shot from Zakuun's room. As another bonus, right after the fight (in LFR) you get ported directly to Mannoroth, so there would be no downtime there. Any thoughts?
I think you might well be right. The point of the video is "you can use LFR to eliminate the downtime running between bosses"-something no one else has ever mentioned. I didn't mathematically optimize every transition I'm just going on hunches which are somewhat subjective anyway, so there's a lot of scope for improvement.
Do you have any raw gold stuff up on your patreon rn?
Raw gold is generally not a high enough gold rate for me to consider it patreon-worthy. I will in fact post a raw gold guide in the next few days on patreon but that will essentially present the information in an upcoming public video. Any sizeable raw gold dupes I find will be on patreon only but those don't come up that often.
@@archvaldor Ah yea that makes sense, miss raw gold farming so much :cc, just watched the new vid! I enjoyed it, been pretty much makin all gold from callings/WQs, Really like all the efficiency advice you put out, makes it a lot more fun...used boosting as a way to make gold too but now thats gone as well, time to cry
thumbnail shows 8k-12k gold/hour, video shows 25-30 mins of work for at maximum ballparking 1250 gold, once per week, and that's being super generous marking each item @50g vendor, which a majority weren't. Good clickbait though, i fell for it. ._.
update, followed up on to checking your other method, which involves "100+g per minute in iron docks", but not only is that purely from the AH values (of which your thumbnail points out "no AH/no BS"), also, you sound oddly smug about all of this information that's just wrong. Other videos on your channel you've pointed out things most of the community knew about before you made some grand reveal to them, but act like you're in some top knotch one of a kind service which you offer people.. And if your this much of a liar just through youtube, i'm terrified of who all you're scamming on your patreon, lmao...
Great content as always from a fellow Aerie Peak denizen
Does this work in old mists of pandaria?????
Any chance ya could find away out of the sunwell raid , surely theres a way out without hearthing, ??
It isn't that difficult to get out with a growth glitch. Just run a search on youtube there's several vids.
Well well well. If that isn't another nerf incoming...
*What's this, raw gold farming using legacy raids? MAKE THE LFR DROPS UNSELLABLE!*
Why?
Blizzard has a nasty habit of nerfing gold farms, along with other things one might consider *fun*.
this isnt as lucrative as the ulduar farm....honestly the daily WQ yeild 100-300g and is about same amount of time
Shut the fuck up
I mean, people, including myself, have been doing this every week just running all lfrs. 6-8k for all mop lfr, 7-10k for WoD lfr, 4-6k running normal through mythic in Highmaul, 9-13k for running Blackrock Foundry, and to cap it out, Hellfire on normal and heroic for 7k. All can be done in about 5-6 hours of runtime each week.
Your voice is soothing. Reminds me of watching Wildlife :)
I resubbed after watching this, thanks Archvaldor!!!
I was about to resub because of this vid, but then i remembered the rep grind :(
@@ruanboonzaaier881 what rep grind?
Fucking slayer
I dont have to worry about instance lock because each loading screen takes around 5m.
8:03 - Shots fired at Faulty... err... I mean Vaulty.. Good on ya Arch!
Vaulty is a comic genius. Did you see that video? where he kills a lvl 10 boar with a musical accompaniment of...I'm not making this up....the James Bond music.....
except you've got the Heroic Icon on your minimap in some kills, which gives more raw gold items than raid finder?
Hey arch, just want to tell you a potential glitch for world quests
we can take it to messages but it isnt going to be too prioritized by blizzard because they only happen once in a while.
nevermind, i dont think it will happen again
@@Athaion0 OK, I greatly appreciate the sentiment even if this has been fixed now.
Are lockouts global account wide? LIke is it 10 instances between all characters or just per character?
Without running the last 2 heroics in this guide, I made 6,867 raw gold following this video to the letter. Heroic FL gives more for an hour of trash farming and you are not bouncing all over Hell and half of Delaware. Take a potion of treasure finding and and just kill trash for 9 runs should take you 45 mins max, then complete the raid for the 10th run that simple.
Not really time efficient but well when there is nothing in the game to do, i run all of the LFR wings of WOD and MOP and normal/heroic/mythic of WOD raids and heroic 25 MOP raids and get 20-25k raw gold per character i do it on per week. Takes me roughly 3-4 hours per character per week if im going fast.
I went and did everything as you said. I have 10,747 gold and I started at 800 gold.
Muggles Cake Sniffer sadly this is the reason i rarely do these runs since its just not worth my time for what you get for the effort
Compared to farming ore for about half an hour and getting around 15k out of it depending on node luck
Could you have a more efficient hour if you had say... 5 alts to use to run the LFRs (to eliminate travel time and lockouts)?
What class/race would you best recommend for farming gold especially if your someone that like farming dungeons and the best professions to help with it . for both factions if possible
Most serious gold farmers seem to going with kitty druid. Professions is a big subject-gathering is a good introduction (mining and herbing). Faction doesn't really affect gold farming that much.
Hey guys. Is Iron Docks better than Freehold (Now that we can clear Freehold relatively quick)
Was curious is it worth more disenchanting any of the item sets and then using AH?
The point of these raw gold videos is to avoid the AH. The AH is almost completely dead for me-I'm not selling anything but mats for current content. I would not be motivated to spend any time trying to sell legacy items at this moment in time because literally no legacy items are selling fast or even at all. If that strategy works for you I'd strongly encourage to make a video yourself (it will get lots of views) and I'll help promote it and say I was wrong.
@@archvaldor Thanks for the reply and yeah AH can be pretty bad at times also has some of these raids been recently nerfed as some of the previous comments say?
any reason in particular for only doing those visions on each zone, or is just for the sake of the video length??
Instance lockout is counted per global instance. So if you hit instance lockout but you haven't done a siege of orgrimmar vision you can run it, but if one of those ten runs was part of throne of thunder you can't run another tot vision. Btw adsense is a very minor part of my income. I have no reason to drag out videos-in fact I try to make them as short as possible.
@@archvaldor thanks for the response, btw i always look forward to your vids. keep them coming. thanks
Hey man just wanted to say a thanks for the Heart of fear farm tip, With the right DH vengeance build ive been able to get my runs down to a fine art getting instance lock in 13 mins farming over 2.2k gold with just vendoring items (thats not including the time for lockbox opening though so bit over 13 mins) Great tips man love ya work!
Sounds like you did most of the work optimizing that with the DH-really interesting concept. I imagine infernal strike makes that amazing. Maybe publish a video yourself:)
@@archvaldor I've thought about it but at the moment I'm using that income to learn more about trading and stuff, to me its become the game recently and a little other stuff on the side. Anyone reading this comment with a little tinkering on what you have already given out freely can work it out.
If you think this is helpful, I'd highly recommend becoming a Patreon. The community is helpful, and if you have a question, you can expect them and Archvaldor to get back to you (on average)within a day
Cool little pretty useless tip if you are on a Vendor mount and you queue for lfr when you leave you will still be on it making for slightly faster selling
How do i get a garrison if im level 120, and havent done previous expansions?
For the WOD garrison, you need to go to the Dark Portal in Blasted Lands and speak to Khadgar. Follow the questline and boom, you will get your garrison.
Eleesium thank you so much! 🙂
Hey I don’t meant to nitpick but Zekuun is not the penultimate encounter, Mannorok is.
Ya, correct. I try to make these things error-free but in practice it is almost impossible, there are so many ways to mess up when you are struggling to finish something at 3am:)
The "wind tunnel" mechanics of the 2nd boss of Dread Approach are a _*pain*_. I usually kill it only with my hunter, cause it can pop Hero with pet...
i dot on my druid and he dies while im in the 1st tornado
is there a horde version?
the items will be sent to your mailbox but the boss gold isnt
Right gate after Iskar is closed. Probably something about Lore progression.
Farmed a lot of gold with your advice! great video and *highly* appreciate the editing. Didn't have to watch and listen to 90% bullshit like certain other videos.
Thanks mate, I appreciate it. Editing is something I really struggle with so the feedback is helpful.
How do you do that with the alliance ?
Archimond only dropped 26 raw gold for me... 329 including gold from vendering the armor
ok i have a really bad memory and really dont want to load up this video every time i want to do this so does anyone know of a way i could get an add on to track this for me?
There are a couple of tools you could use (I use them regularly so I know this works).
Pencil and paper. Use the pencil to write this down on a piece of paper. Bam! No more loading the video every time! Just a bullet pointed list. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. :)
Does farming mobs on HC rather than LFR will yield more gold? For example: in Heart of fear first tier mobs?
think they at some point nerfed the normal/heroic mobs in HoF, but i could be wrong
Where is this again? How do you find it?
Where is what exactly? You start out in the warlords of draenor garrison. You'll have to build one if you don't have one.
Very good video. And I don't say that often about gold making videos.
Ty very much. I know what you mean-it is very difficult to promote a gold making video enough that it gets noticed but not so much that its clickbait.
Love your intro. Reminds me of going to the cinema.
This was pretty cool. do you have a horde version?
This isn't alliance specific. The seer is in the horde garrison also. The pandas in the seat of knowledge can be used by both factions. There is almost no practical difference.
@@archvaldor Ah ok. thanks. Just noticed he was using an alliance char and wasn't sure because I haven't gotten my garrison done yet I'm only lvl 114 but I've done the iron docks thing and though it's not getting me as much because of my level and not having a bunch of aoe attacks that slows down the process. too bad their wasn't a shortcut out of it instead of needing to walk all the way back the way you came lol. but was helpful thanks.
Does difficulty matter with these raids?
No, its all LFR.
@@archvaldor I figured it once I asked 👍
Hey, Archvaldor. Just as a question: How worth do you, objectively, think is it to become a patreon of yours?
I have played around with the idea ever since the Mogu'Shan Vault video but I am not entirely certain how many of this sort of methodic farming you have on your patreon.
So far the Vault method has been the most lucrative one for me personally, as I prefer to do the same run several times over doing several different things on different characters.
I don't think you can be objective. For example I have an active gold dupe on the patreon which I know I could have sold to a private buyer for $3000. But a lot of people would have difficulty making the most of it and some don't even understand why it is so valuable and never will-this stuff isn't for everybody. A lot of people are simply just scared of getting banned. My guess is you are a chill person who likes casual gold farming and gameplay (no bad thing) so my guess would be this is not for you, but if you ever get curious you will be very welcome:)
@@archvaldor if anything that answer probably just got you another patreon x3 Though next months when my finances are in order again and I can ser if I can actually spent the money ^^
I'm confused, I did all the raids by talking to the NPCs and granting visions to the locations, i waited an hour for reset after finishing and now I don't get loot from any of the bosses? And I'm in a lock for 6 hours? Am I just stupid or what??
No you aren't stupid I probably should have explained this better. Each individual boss can only be done once per character per lockout. When you have done all the bosses on all your max level characters you can just run iron docks ten times and then everbloom once that's about 5 and a half K gold per hour, or just quit for the week. Right now I'd actually also strongly recommend doing herbing/gathering at max level because that's crazy profitable before a raid-you do have it sell on ah but the mats will sell super fast.
this is amazing thanks for this info! super fast and easy specially since my server died since vanilla so i cant make money on the AH. thanks!
Brilliant Video! Can't wait to try this out. I was wondering though, do you do a full run of seat of tri and iron docks? Thanks in advance x
No reason not to run full Iron Docks. You might to just kill the trash around the first boss in seat-the reason is that this is a GREAT ten minute raw gold farm which can be run repeatedly. If you kill all the bosses then that is it for the week. Even though I tend to pursue higher returns than you get from any raw gold farm, sometimes I just kill all the trash till lockout for fun when I have ten minutes only before I have to do something in RL.
So question i might have just over looked this or am just having issues thinking it through but how is this hourly if you kill the bosses cause I thought if you killed them it became locked and they didn't re spawn for another weekly reset
Yep this is weekly. Once you get locked out, do skyreach (see video for skips) and/or iron docks and/or other draneor dungeons and/or seat of the triumvirate (if you have it unlocked) and/or freehold (if you have excellent gear).
@@archvaldor Ah alright so just basically use the reset all instances after i run all those till i get locked out for an hour?
@@LordNeltharion Yah. What you are trying to avoid is running, say, all the way through SOO because that's really inefficient, so do the LFR bosses where you can port straight into a boss and then split. Doing Docks or Skyreach is going to be faster after you've done the cream of the crop.
@@archvaldor Got it Thanks a bunch ill probably be running this between lvling alts then to try and make raw gold for WoWTokens
Can someone please explain why I'm only getting 1 item per boss? Sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere before but I can't figure it out
It seems that happens if you are within level range, ie 100-110. If you level to 111 I think you get the full drops. I'd recommend getting the toon to 120 though, it isn't very efficient below max level.
Thx for this guide it's very nice.. I'm curious tho between Iron Docks and Everbloom, would it be worth to sneak in a beastlord mythic kill?
I hadn't even thought of that. Sounds like you already know.....:) wd.
@@archvaldor cool about the docs/everbloom.. do you clear it from all trash? or just snipe the bosses?
@@archvaldor oh just tried it on my lock. Big no to my beastlord snipe, you hit the instance cap
can I get a written guide of which ones to go to...
Tehvoyager kindly did that it in the guides section at ownedcore.com
I have a tier 3 garrison and the Seer doesn't give me any raid options.. I'm confused. Any help?
Are you max level?
@@Fushishou im like level 100, so no not for current exp on that character. my 120 doesnt have any wod done so i just logged into my max wod main
This still works on 8.3?
0:40 "no exploits"
1:10 lol
Feri Khoros lol.
It's very clear he's doing this for hype. Said no one has posted a video like this too.... This is one of the oldest videos on the market for raw gold. He's acting like LFR has never been thought of before.
I do Imperators Rise instead of Halls of Blood. It's pretty quick getting to the boss.
It isn't the time it takes to get to the boss there its the invulnerability mechanic.
@@archvaldor Yeah OK. I'll give Halls of Blood a try instead then.
If I have a booster toon with no garrison; how do I get access to WoD raids.
just go to them manually and do the entire raids. you'll possibly get more gold overall, but it'll be slower
Blizzard Inc has just become a new patron.
That wouldn't help them. You need someone who knows what to do with information.
@@archvaldor Dunno why YT didn't notify me of the reply. Yeah, I agree, there's still lingering bugs from vanilla in BFA. Not really sure what their bug fix team is doing. I think they only really care about exploits if it actually breaks the game in some fundamental way. Otherwise, the 15$ a month they get from 1.5 million people, apparently just isn't enough to justify fixing most of the game.
Merco doesn't work?
so, how much gold did you farm using such method? 10000? is it worth it?
This video got over quarter of a million views, and has a high like to dislike ratio (especially for this channel which is controversial in nature). So, obviously for many people, yes, it is worth it.
If you mean "can I make more doing other stuff"? Yes, you can. There are dozens of methods on my patreon which yield significantly more profit, sometimes 400-500% more. However, they are not always easy, without risk or fun to do.
Hello, i have a lvl 120 boosted toon, however i don t have a garrison hearthstone, how can i get to my garrison?
Ah you'll need to set one up. You should be able to go to stormshield in draenor from the portal room. Fly over to shadowmoon valley and there should be a exlamation mark on the shore in the northwest corner. Follow the quests - it takes roughly 10-16 mins to set up a level two garrison and get seer kazzal.
Can this only be done once a day or something? tried running the LFR stuff for the second time and no loot drops and no gold drops? or am I doing something wrong?
Once per week per character. After that I'd recommend running Iron Docks or Heart Of Fear for the trash.
@@archvaldor Thanks so much for the prompt reply! Love your videos!
Does this only work per week?
Yes, but per character, so an alt army is where this gets good.
