The problem is that the chest isn't there every time, generally 2 in 5, or maybe 3 in five on a good run. I've had it be there 0/5 more often than 5/5. The pots are also not a sure thing, many times there won't be any. The only thing in the chest that's guaranteed is a green and 6g.

Even if every chest were worth 50g, and it was there every time, a rogue enchanter can make more money elsewhere. I speed run BRD, and have timed my run to be almost exactly 12 minutes (works perfectly with the instance reset timer). I kill Incendius, that mage guy with the dog (don't remember his name), pyromancer loregrain, Phalanx, Panzor (if he's up), and complete the summoner's tomb event. That's a minimum of 5 large brilliant shards (10g each on most servers), and a couple smalls (or just vendor the small brilliant items, usually sell for more to a vendor anyway). That's about 250g an hour, not counting random drops they have, the small brilliant shard items and the shot at the fiery formula (50g on my server).

Very fast, very steady money.


The BRD run sounds very good too, thanks for the tip :)

But I think you have missed something regarding mechanar. There is ALWAYS a chest. Every. Single. Time.

Three different spawns. One at the stairs when you go left at the entrance, one at stairs when you go right, and then there is one behind mechanolord capacitus. I do it around 8 hours a day, and there is always a chest. Often times, there are 3 potions in 1 chest, and sometimes there is a scroll. About 1/5 runs you will get a Blue Gem or Blue BoE. If you dedicate yourself to it, it's at least 200g pr. 20 mins. I don't think anything beats that.

The chest in capacitus's area can't be soloed as far as I know, unless you know something I don't.

Of course it can. All three can be soloed easily.

Go to wowmovies and check out the video. It should be at the top popular ones right now.

Uhh, wowmovies.com is an RMT site.

Found one on google video, though. Wall jumping to get the capacitus chest (looks like that's what he did) might get you banned, as it's technically exploiting a game bug, not just an AI flaw.

That being said, I can't see Blizzard actually watching you do it, then banning you for something so trivial. Expect this to get hotfixed soon. People can never keep cool things like this quiet =(.

Aside from that, having a 100% chance to get the chest does indeed make it quite good money.

It's been known forever and by everyone. On wowmovies it was Hottest Video of the month (and still is) with over 32.000 views. On the o-boards there are several long threads about it, one in particualar called "Royal Mech Farming Club" with like 14 pages, where it starts out with everone being all secret about it and stuff. Now it's all common knowledge.

You need to be naked to do it, unless you want a 10g repair bill on top. So on my server we have naked rogue wars outside (Ally vs Horde) in between reset cooldowns and vanish cooldowns. Quite hilarious actually.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people who are running mechanar might wonder why there is always 4-5 naked rogues outside :D

Anyways, it's not exploitation, it's "clever use of game mechanics". The third spot is arguable of course, but it's not like Blizzard doesn't know about it. If you log on to the Test Realm, they already moved the chests, making soloing them impossible. So this farming method will not be viable after 2.2.0 hits the live realms.

Enjoy it while it lasts ;)

Farm the hell out of it while it lasts

Remember to get yourself a pair of Dark Leather Gloves (+5 lockpick). Some of the chests are locked (about 1/2 of them) and they are all orange at lockpick 350. That means you can get a failed attempt. The gloves reduces the chance of that.

And I can tell you know - locked chests can be a ***** :D

Remember to say hi to the train of naked rogues flying into mechanar 24/7. Hehe

Yep, nerfed. People would make a lot more money from these kinds of things if they'd just keep their mouth shut.

The first two, I agree, are nothing but taking advantage of how mob resets work. The third is using a known exploit that people have been banned for (an entire guild got banned for wall jumping into Hyjal, not kidding).

Just picked up two of these (100g for both) and was just wondering if you guys would recommend putting mongoose on these or am I just going to get a upgrade fast enough to make it not worth it.

I personally wouldn't waste mongoose mats on any blue dagger, wait till you get something a bit better inho, you can get revered HH and can run heroic ramparts for http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=29346&locale=enUS;source=live fairly easily.
