I'm not sure where the most efficient place to farm cash is, but I know RFD nets around 18 gold and can be completed in under an hour. That's if you kill every mob and only throw away nightcrawlers.

I just did a few LBRS runs with a fast group and we inned about 1000g by just selling set items like shadow belts, devout crap and prayer/brilliance books for 80g each minimum.

It's faster than going insane in SM.

Eric "the Swift", Olaf, and their bow hunting buddy make a great gold farming target. They are close to the zone entrance of Uldaman, and all three are right there togather, so you just sneak in, kill them and reset.

Bind in Kargath, empty your bags of everything but a little food, and head to the main Uldaman entrance. Avoid everything between you and the vikings that you can( most stuff wont aggro a l60 unless you step on its foot), and make sure you have a ton of inventory space. You will fill up fast. HS to Kargath when full of "good" items, sell loot and mail Swiftness pots back to an alt for AHing later.

Each run nets you 3 white items that sell for 20, 40 and 50 silver respectively, some green arrows that sell for 20s, several swiftness potions, and some armor patch kits(heavy and thick vendor very well). Occasionally you will also get a green or blue item that sells for 1g+. I vendor everything but the swiftness pots, which AH well now that the honor system is out. In an hour, I can make about 30-50g if things are going well. The hardest part is not annoying your friends as you reset the instance every 5 minutes.

How do you get out after doing the Lost Vikings

Normally, I go defensive stance, drink a Swiftness potion that Eric just dropped, and run back to the entrance with a huge train of gimpy little Kobold things behind me. Alternatively, you can do the opposite of the trip in and sneak by everything. You really only have to fight 1 non-viking per run if you are patient and avoid aggro.

Tonight I am going to work on using swift potions to get to the vikings faster on the trip in, and just go Def Stance + Piercing Howl to get back out. I would like to get the round trip time down to about 4 minutes if I don't aggro anything before the Vikings.

When i clocked my work I got 13,5 G in 22 minutes in SM graveyard after I sold all the trash in my bags, I'm going to clock it for an entire hour the next time I do it to get a more fair view. I am a mage though so I can clear all the blue ghosts in one pull. I already got my epic horse, but i borrowed 270 to get it the day before the honor system came out here in EU. Will not take me very long to repay it considering i got 100g in SM GY without very much time invested. I'm fairly sure that you can harvest 1k gold there in one weekend if you put some effort and time into it.

Damn mages hehe j/k, but do you think I should use my hunter or my warrior for farming ? My warrior is MS spec with reaper so thats nice but my hunter kills stuff pretty well too, for farming thought which would you suggest?

Well when I'm 60 are any of these viable as a priest? I'll probably be holy specced by then

Do you kill all the mobs, or only the blue gosths?

I have tried this too, SM Graveyard farming. It's really fast and easy, just kill the blue ghosts. Only thing is that I got bored quite quickly although it got me great money from whites and greens.

So you just kill all the blue ghosts, the boss and skip everything else and then reset? I have been farming fairbanks for a few days I can pull about 22g an hour there.

I kill the scarlet boss on the way, and the mobs guarding the chest there. Once i'm inside I gather up as many blue ghosts as I can and kill them. I kill the random rare spawn if he is there (drops blue) and then proceed to the crypt to kill any blue ghosts in there and the bloodmage boss (can drop a blue offhand which vendors for 55 s). Then I kill elites while I wait for the blue ghosts to respawn and after I killed them a second time I reset if I can. I do this 2-3 times before my bags are full and I go sell. After selling my total profit with the dropped silver + sales is about 12+ gold, can be more if you are lucky. If you just skip killing the elites and reset as soon as you killed all blue it will be even faster I think.
