Zyland's way to make money.

This guide basically assumes:
-That you are 70
-That you have patience
-Have a mod that shows you the targets cast bar or enabled the option
-Know how to use the Auction House
-Have a bank alt (Optional)
-That you are Alliance, though Horde have it WAY easier
---------------------------------
Who can do this?
Anyone, though some classes may find it easier, Rogues, Warriors or Feral Druids for instance (Non Casters).
Well? What is it?
There is a not so well known grinding spot in Shadowmoon Valley known as Legion Hold. The demons here are weak and have nice drops.
What drops here?
Here are the most common drops I got, from most common to rarer.
-Cash, 11 silver average.
-Netherweave Cloth (Sold over50 stacks while I was there)
-Mark of Sargeras
-Fel Armaments
-Random Green drops
-A few blue drops
What mobs are there?
Terrormasters~These guys patrol and have fear.
Wrathwalker~THey're pretty stationary but have a spell called Flame Strike or something. Silence this are move out of the way, it hurts. Hunters/Warlocks, watch your pets, when these use that towards a cliff (or maybe just one certain cliff) it glitches and does damage 3 times as fast.
Mo'arg Weaponsmith~Stationary, but they do lower your armor with a debuff.
Do I just kill random things? Or did you use a path?
Some people kill random things, I had a path, which I will share with you.

What's all this mean?
Each face represents a different mob, which you will soon learn.
And the lines everywhere?
The pinkish one is the path I used.
The yellow/green one is the path of the 68 elite that patrols but isn't too much of a big deal.
The light blue one is the Terrormaster's path..there's actually two but I forgot to put the other one in..so I won't but you'll learn it soon enough.
And the green words and lines?
Very important indeed. On the west side of map, the Kor'Kron riders will ride up the path until the line stops and go back the way they came, look both ways before crossing the street. These are, from my experience, Immune to Feign death, they are guards after all.
On the other side of the map, every so often about half a dozen orcs come riding in from Terrokar. They stop around the middle of the words on the map...Now I don't quite exactly understand this event...but sometimes level 70 Elite Demons (Big and Purple) will spawn around the edge of the path, about four of them. They will own you if you aggro. (Feign Death works)
However sometimes the demons spawn and despawn instantly or don't spawn at all, and the orcs get through (the demons kill the orcs sometimes).
Okay, that covers the map, but why is this easier for non casters?
Basically, non casters don't rely on mana. Drinks do add up for a lot in the long run, people frown upon my pickiness...but on the other hand, they fly nearly 5 times slower then me.
Why is it easier for Horde?
It is easier for Horde because their village is so insanely close! Infact my route goes so close that sometimes the infernals that just finished off guards attack me! (Very weak, no big deal)
Also, the Kor'Kron Riders are for the Horde.
(I am very much assuming these facts based on the Infernals attacking that village as they attack the Alliance town.)
Okay, that all makes sense..but why the bank alt?
The bank alt is used for two main purpose sin this.
1) Items and Money are instant mail between your characters (not other accounts), so why go to Stormwind or some other capital when you can just place your alt in a capital and mail the things to yourself instead?
2) A very nice strategie is to send your alt 100g every 120g or so, to calm the urge to spend.
Hey! If your so picky why are you telling us to spend more money on mailing!
If you honestly thought about this and worried I really really pity you. In the times that it would take you to go to Shattrath, go to a capital, hearth back to Shattrath/get a portal/walk, and then fly back to Shadowmoon and then to Legion Hold. You could have killed over 15 demons, giving you enough money to make up for that 30 copper per mail in about one kill.
How well did you do when you were here?
I made about 3000g worth of stuff.
I had enough items to well beyond Exalted with Aldor, though I'm Scryers.
I got four blue drops.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On one last note, this isn't right for everyone, personally I pity those who farm primals, but that's because I found it extremely tedious with it's fragments and motes every two hours.
The mobs respawn perfectly if you follow that route and nobody disturbs it, if someone does,just keep going.
It's always smart not to cause a fight between factions while farming.

How long?
You said you made 3000g but how long did it take you?
I followed a similar
I followed a similar strategy for farming Aldor Rep and cloth when I re-specced to tailoring. As a mage, I did have to stop and drink after four or five kills... but at least the water is free.
I also found that the Wrathwalkers were easier for me to kill. Not that anything out there gave me trouble, but they dropped much quicker. Checking on WoWhead, it appears they have at least 1000 hp fewer than the other two mobs. I mowed down the Wrathwalkers, killed any Terrormasters that got in my way, and ignored the Weaponsmiths unless I outpaced the respawn rate.

You say you've made about
You say you've made about 3000g of things. Does that mean just items or selling vendor trash also?
Also, in what alloted time did you make 3000g?
Yes this includes vendor
Yes this includes vendor trash and such.
I, as all people who make 5000g in about a month or less, have no life. I maybe spent 4 or 5 hours of this a day got bored, did some dailies and pissed my guild off by talking so much.
Also, I suggest disenchanting anything that sells for less then 3-4g to vendor.
