Farmers Market - Enchanting

This is how to make a little extra through grinding. How many people out there are still trying to get Baron Rivendere's mount? Hands up. Thought so. What about grinding through Argent Dawn or trying to find that old world recipe that has eluded us. At 80 it is easy to go back to old dungeons and fairly quickly clear them but we can find ourselves doing it over and over again.

I recently went through Stratholme again. I think I had some reason. It may have been that I just wanted to test what I was about to explain. I did want another crack at the mount. Wanted to see if i could go through it quicker as Survival over Beast Mastery. And wanted to see if I could get some more Righteous Orbs (1 dropped).

Anyway, what you need for this is a friend who is an enchanter, assuming you aren't one yourself. As long as they don't want to do any group work themselves, ask if they wouldn't mind grouping while you run through. Doesn't matter where they are in the world, the looting rules recognises there is an enchanter in the group. Now I don't know about you but those blues that drop in late vanilla dungeons are worth a lot more to me as shards than as vendor items. 5-15 times as much, considering the cost on AH.

Make sure you make it worth your friends while. Throw some gold, shards or something their way. Do they need cloth for rep? Plenty of runecloth in there.

And somewhere like Strath is great for this. 10 bosses if my count was right plus I came across a rare. I walked out with 11 or so shards from that. Otherwise I would have been vendoring the blues afterwards. Plus I did the same with the greens as it meant less bag space taken up.

Oh, and the mount didn't drop in case you were wondering.


NOTE: I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and noticed Markco had posted something similar a while ago while going through his blog earlier this week. I don't want to be seen to be stealing other peoples ideas and honestly hadn't finished going through his blog. This was something I think I remember seeing in passing as a comment and wanted to check to see if this was a workable strategy. Lots of people have probably mentioned it already. I just want to help spread the word a bit.
