Dungeon Farming

[hgoutyt]

Ive done some research and ive seen some people talking about farming dungeons like halls of lightning and i was wondering if there is actually any real profit from it.

 

[jaajaa]

I would never do it again, I did it for 4 days and got banned on 2 accounts, got disconnected on both within 2 seconds of eachother, and got this message on both acc's email:

***NOTICE OF LICENSE TERMINATION***

Blizzard has terminated this World of Warcraft license after identifying the usage of bots or other cheat software.

These programs (commonly called cheats, bots, and hacks) automate certain aspects of gameplay, or provide unintended advantages and abilities to the player. This type of cheating undermines other players' experience and severely upsets the balance of the game environment.

I think that they are tracking on how many instances you have recently went to, and then the system will flag you and you will be investigated by a gm.
My third account which I just dinged 80 and got it to run like 20 dungeons, didnt get banned however. I guess that account wasn't farming at the time the flags were made. This was done in Botanica with script called Botanist Botanica

E: Not to mention they were entirely separate accounts, bought from battle.net and they were on different realms.

Been wondering this too

How do you get profit from farming dungeons compared to low lvl herb farming for example

 

[hgoutyt]

a couple people have voted yes but could anyone give me some stats like how mugh gold per hour can be made and what the best dungeons are and such?

 

[Pwn]

Do your own research. Do you expect people to stumble on a gold mine and then come tell you about it?

 

[hgoutyt]

i have researched ive looked at dozens of threads im not a lazy newb i just cant find the information im looking for.

 

[Pwn]

I told you to do your own research, not sponge off somebody elses discovery. Do some dungeons for gods sake, make an excel document. I got this (loot) from this (dungeon), is it that hard?

 

[hgoutyt]

no but that wasnt what i thought u meant. I'll do that but seriously what are the forums for if not to share ideas and information. I understand when it can cut down on your profits but i cant see how dungeon farming would effect others.

Current Gold Per Hour Ranking:
Stratholme: 3,900+
Halls of Lightning: 3,200+
The Mechanar (H): 1800+
HellFire Ramparts (H): 1200+ (1/2 Hour)
Stoackades: 600+ (1/2 Hour)
Stratholme vs Halls of Lightning.
Two seperate expansions, two seperate level ranges. Both were pretty much bee line gathering aoe everything down runs, however Stratholme felt shorter. Both took only ten minutes which allows your full five runs per hour / reset cycle.

Strat - 10 Minute Run x5
200 in Gold & Trash /HR
320 in Cloths /HR
200 in Patterns Per Run (Not 100%)
700 in Raw Mats /HR
1000 in Gear & X Mog Sales Per Run
---->
3900+ Gold Per Hour. (Only factored in one pattern drop & 50% of gear value per hour)


Halls of Light - 10 Minute Run x5
455 in Gold & Trash /HR
500 in Cloths /HR
250 in Patterns Per Run (Not 100%)
600 in Raw Mats /HR
550 in Gear & X Mog Sales Per Run
---->
3200+ Gold Per Hour. (Only factored in one pattern drop & 50% of gear value per hour)


HF Ramparts Heroic vs The Mechanar Heroic.
Both of these are BC runs. Simple face roll aoe burn runs with no issues. HellFire is a lot quicker, a lot easier. The only issue with The Mechanar is unless you have some sort of stun prevention you will get cc'd by the mobs early into the run. They actually will do damage to classes that dont have heals so you'll want to be careful of your grouping size. The Mechanar has a built in hidden thing for the last boss where you must clear the adds from the top ramp as you run around before he spawns so dont just go to the end portal and leave before killing the adds & killing the last boss.

HellFire Ramparts Heroic - 5 Minute Run x5
225 in Gold & Trash /HR
200 in Cloths /HR
0 in Patterns Per Run (Not 100%)
100 in Raw Mats /HR
250 in Gear & X Mog Sales Per Run
---->
1200 per half hour


The Mechanar Heroic - 10 Minute Run x5
315 in Gold & Trash /HR
300 in Cloths /HR
0 in Patterns Per Run (Not 100%)
500 in Raw Mats /HR
300 in Gear & X Mog Sales Per Run
---->
1800+ per hour

This is from Ownedcore, not me.

well thanks alot for sharing i supose i need to start browsing their forums a bit more

I told you to do your own research, not sponge off somebody elses discovery. Do some dungeons for gods sake, make an excel document. I got this (loot) from this (dungeon), is it that hard?

Take some solace from that its always the guys begging off others who always end up banned and whining.

no but that wasnt what i thought u meant. I'll do that but seriously what are the forums for if not to share ideas and information. I understand when it can cut down on your profits but i cant see how dungeon farming would effect others.

So instead of taking an hour or two to finding decent dungeons to farm (which involves some effort on your part to log stuff like gold per run and loot per run to then calculate the total gph), you'd rather whine that no one is feeding you the info.
Also you completely miss the point in that last sentence, if you can make more gph doing dungeons thanks to someone else's research then you can lower than actual income if they are selling gold. If you want the economics of that explained to you then you probably shouldn't even be botting or I'll draw a nice diagram using windows paint.
These forums aren't some lovey dovey hippy place where we can act all communist handing over great research/profiles for others to profit off, sure there is some selfless people on these forums who take days/weeks of work to craft great profiles for the community to use but there is also the "capitalist" guys who quite rightly want some thanks beyond a +rep who want some recompense for their time on profiles/plugins.

My thoughts exactly

Wow come dude if you've been on these forums since 2011 then surely you can understand how letting everyone know the best dungeons to farm will effect others. But then your post stating how do get profit from farming low level dungeons sums up your intelligence level.

Also that post from ownedcore is wildly incorrect as he not only compares doing TBC heroic runs (something you can only do once per day) but wildly inflates the actual income from wotlk dungeon runs.

 

[hgoutyt]

Okay no need to be a dink about it. I wasnt "whining" i was asking and if people dont wanna answer me well then thats their choice! i have been running it and keeping track but if someone was gonna tell me that its not profitable with a valid reason i didnt want to waste any more of my time. Ive read from a few places that people farm dungeons for money and so i figured i would give it a whirl i have an account im not doing anything with ATM and was trying to find something besides just gathering to do with it. Im not asking someone to just hand me something they have poured hours of work into its a simple yes no question should i continue to look into it. So how bout you step down from the pedistal you hold yourself on and stop being such a dick.

 

[Teveel]

But you spent pretty much an entire day posting about it by which time you could easily have discerned if dungeon farming was more profitable than gathering.
It's pretty simple math at the end of the day once you have worked out dungeon gph and gathering gph look at the bigger gph and stick with that.

 

[hgoutyt]

i spent 5 minutes posting it and looked back when people responded i was trying to test myself but the profile i had wasnt reseting the dungeon properly. I was trying to determine it myself just hoped maybe someone might shed some light on it in the mean time. In the end i personally am not finding value to you but i might continue to try it anyway. Thank you for being a little bit more civil in that post.

..... economics 101
I only had HB for awhile. Lost my old lifetime license from 5 years back.
Currently, in my own experience, it is best to find something that isn't flooded and sell it according to a reasonable supply and demand. If you supply too much eventually prices tend to bounce around too much, not a good strategy.
Right now, I gather and hold stock and put my stock on trade chat/AH when the value is high.
For example, sometimes silk cloth is worth 8g and sometimes it is worth 18g. I spend my time watching when does the 18g ones sell, and from there I profit.
That is all I have to say.

It is profitable, but there are better ways to earn gold.

It seems like your trying to make money, cash. Botting is not a overnight trick to become rich. Get a job, no offense intended.

i understand what your saying but for the record im not looking to get rich quick. So far botting has been a sinkhole for my money but i enjoy it. yes i want to make money from it but thats just for a bit of extra pocket change. Im a full time student in a pre engineering program and dont really have time for a job so i just want a wee bit of play money from time to time.

Thanks for your advice i guess? as i stated b4 this is just an extra account i got unbanned and decided to play around on and see what i can do with it besides the standard gathering. hoping to increase my own knolege of different methods by expirementing and thought maybe people my share a tiny bit of their knowledge.

If I were to post say "Sell copper ore" for a example. Assuming that there is a demand on my server, does not mean all servers have the same demands and supply. Consecutively, if "Copper Ore" is profitable, but now over 100K users who browse this forum read this, what do you think will happen? Majority will try and the market "may" be ruined for the method. The market is alive, I really suggest experimenting yourself and put in a little effort that might last longer than public advice.

Like I said before, it is not the best way.

Like iamnotme said, there is no substitute for your own research.
