TGIF – Bastion of Twilight
TGIF – The Gold I Find, because Hells Yes I’m broke.
If there’s one thing that stays constant through the years, it’s that the toughest time to make gold is at the end of an expansion. Profession swag like gear and potions tends to go down because people either don’t play as much, or are already geared up. They may need stuff for alts, but by and large you’re not going to be raking in the cash like you were before.
Farming for gold can be a little more lucrative, depending on how and where you’re doing it. Transmog gear is always going to be worth something, and the raw mats you pick up also tend to sell. If you decide that you want to do some farming, you need to find somewhere that you can run through quickly, yet still produces drops that will make you gold on the Auction House.
Bastion of Twilight is ambitious, but it can also be quite lucrative. If this is your first time farming, or I don’t know, maybe you’ve been away from WoW for a year and forgot how your abilities work, BoT might not be the best zone to get your feet wet in. What you’ll find is that those wet feet are soaked with piss and blood. Yours.
If you have the gear for it, or just want to feel like a rock star killing green elite mobs at level 90, BoT can be a nice place to hang out.
Pathway Through the Trove of the Thunder King
Let me just say this and I’ll move on – I’m not what you’d call antisocial. Put me in a room full of people, and I’m not going to collapse in some dark corner and curl up in a fetal position. I don’t need to be twelve shades of shitfaced to function either, a fact that I’m quite proud of. But put me in a video game society and I just don’t want to deal with most people’s bullshit. Makes for quite a bit of lone wolf play style.
This brings me to Blizzard’s latest home run – solo scenarios. With a new barrage of dailies being offered up on the Isle of Thunder, Blizz decided to sweeten the deal by placing a Key to the Palace of Lei Shen on random mobs. Came for the round of daily quests, stayed for the key party!
The Key opens the door to the Trove of the Thunder King, a timed instance with a mess of treasure chests in it. Also a boss at the end, assuming you reach it before time runs out.
The trick in succeeding with this run is knowing what to do. Displaying a certain finesse. A strategy, if you will. Don’t step here, step there alot, shoot that thing way over there somewhere in the face and head area. Me, being a master of both finesse and strategy (only in opposite land) I took a gander at Youtube and found a good strategy video for getting as much sweet coin as you can stuff in your deep pockets.
