Mining and Herbalism Route for Vashj'ir

Hey all!

I hope all of you are having as much fun with Cataclysm as I am. It's been great exploring all the new areas and finally getting to fly in Azeroth. As I said in a previous post my plan has been to gather, gather, gather and that's what I've been doing. The best money making area I've found so far is in Vashj'ir farming Obsidium, Azshara's Veil, and Stormvine. I'm currently making around 3000 gold an hour doing this and it is a great spot.

Below you will find a video of me doing one run in Vashj'ir so you can see exactly what it looks like along with three maps. The three maps mark the exact route you should take if you are mining and herbing, mining only, or herbing only. I hope this post helps you make some money and I'll be posting some more farming spots in the coming days. Enjoy!

Items to Put on Your Cataclysm Snatch List

For my second post of the day I am going to list the Cataclysm items I put on my snatch list. Each item will link to the item in Wowhead - unfortunately there won't be any tooltips. I plan to add tooltips in the future but don't have the time to figure out how to do it in Wordpress right now with Cataclysm coming out and all - I hope to get the tooltips added in 1-2 weeks though.

I've added each item to my snatch list at a price of 100 gold. I don't intend to pay this much for the items but since no one knows what the prices will be tomorrow I'm using this so that I can grab all the items in my list. I then plan to organize the list by item to see if there are any items being sold a bit too cheaply so that I can snatch them up and relist them. Here is the list:

Herbs:

Stormvine

Cinderbloom

Azshara's Veil

Heartblossom

Whiptail

Twilight Jasmine

 

Minerals:

Obsidian Ore - 2 ores = 1 bar

Elementium Ore -  2 ores = 1 bar.

Pyrite Ore - This is the new uncommon ore. 2 ores = 1 bar

Obsidian Bar - According to Wowhead this is used almost exclusively by Engineers. Unless Blizz has changed something I don't see there being much of a market for this.

Elementium Bar

Pyrium Bar - Made from 2 Pyrite Ore

Hardened Elementium Bar - Made from 10! Elementium Bar and 4 Volatile Earth

Truegold - New Alchemist Transmute. Needs 3 Pyrium Bars, 10 Volatile Fire, 10 Volatile Air, and 10 Volatile Water

 

Enchanting Mats:

Heavenly Shard

Hypnotic Dust

Greater Celestial Essence

Lesser Celestial Essence

Maelstrom Crystal

 

Volatiles:

Volatile Water

Volatile Air

Volatile Earth

Volatile Fire

Volatile Life

 

Gemstones:

Alicite

Carnelian

Hessonite

Jasper

Nightstone

Zephyrite

Inferno Ruby

Ocean Sapphire

Dream Emerald

Demonseye

Ember Topaz

Shadowspirit Diamond - From alchemy transmute.

Amber Jewel

Ocean Sapphire

 

Leatherworking Supplies:

Savage Leather

Heavy Savage Leather - made from 5 Savage Leather

Pristine Hide - This is the new rare skin. I've heard reports that it will be much more common than Arctic Furs were in Wrath.

Blackened Dragonscale

And finally Embersilk Cloth

Do you have something on your list that I didn't add? Give me a shout in the comments below if you think I missed something.

 

 

Setting Up Your Snatch List

Well Cataclysm is almost here and I'm now setting up my snatch list in preparation. I'm going to do a two part post to show you 1) how to set up a snatch list and 2) what I'm putting on mine in preparation for Cataclysm. If you already know how to set up your list you can skip this post and go directly to the next one to see what items you should add for Cataclysm.

Using the snatch list is a great way to grab under priced items that you know you can use and/or resell. In order to set it up you'll need auctioneer suite installed and running in your UI. Once that is done simply go to an Auctioneer and bring up the AH window. Then click on "Search" in the bottom tabs and "Snatch" in the list of options on the left.

Once this is done there are two ways to add particular items to your list. Option 1 (which you won't be able to use to add Cataclysm items until Cataclysm comes out) is to drag an item from your bag to the box provided and to then set the highest price that you would like to buy the item at. Finally click "Add Item" to add it to your list.

Option 2 is what I will be using items to add items to my Cataclysm list. I use this option when I don't have the item in my bags and so can't drag and drop it. First you need to go to Wowhead and search for the item you want to add. Click on the red "link" button on the top right of the page and copy the link that pops up.

Once that is done simply copy the information into your chat window and click on the item link that will appear. The item will appear in your snatch list - then set the maximum price you will buy at and add the item just like in option 1.

Now that you know how to add items to your snatch list scroll up to my second post to see what you should add for Cataclysm!
