Farm: SM or SFK?Follow

#1 Dec 10 2006 at 5:00 PM Rating: Decent
I'm looking to farm an instance (or anything else if you have suggestions) to start saving money for my epic mount, and I know that SM has delivered good sums of money for me in the past and its also quite certain that I will leave with the money in my pocket... but on my server a Shadowfang sells for about 130-150 gold... so which do you think would be more worthwhile to farm for gold? SM with sure chance of making decent gold, or SFK with a low chance of making a ton of gold...? Thanks for any replies =)

hmm, hard to say. The drop percentage for each mob for the Shadowfang is at most .03% and it's also a world drop. Do you have herbalism? If you have herbalism, then SM is a very good place to farm (so I've heard).

It's only a world drop in SFK... I would go for SFK, Night Reaver, the best 19 two hander weapon drops there as well... But if you don't trust your luck, go for SM. You'll make 3-4 gold per run with no luck whatsoever...

Also once you can solo SM you will get massive amounts of silk to sell in the AH. I got 200 silk cloth in 3 lib runs

i farmed SM only 5 times and made well over 100g. SM is supper easy to get coin, even if you can not do Cath solo, just about any level 60 should be able to solo the armory.

both cath and armory have good consistent drops, plus the coin drops, whites, greys, etc.. all add up fast.

What about the graveyard? People told me it's the can for farming stuff.

Just a little update, I chose to go with SFK and on my 3rd run it was not Shadowfang that dropped but... Assassin's Blade! O_O I've currently got 2 people considering 150g for it, and one sure offer of 80g... SFK is my new best friend =D

I farm SFK with my Rogue. In 8 runs, each taking 27-30 mins, I made 270g. How? By selling all the greens and the 3 blues that dropped. Granted, I was probably lucky getting 3 blues to drop, but the greens sell well and fast.

Phew, it looks like you got that one lucky drop. Personally if it was me, I would be running SM and SFK when i got bored.

I know it wouldnt take that long to get bored, but if you have a high level character, I dont see the point to running these low level instances.

I personally would be farming the UD's in WPL or farming the furbolgs in Winterspring. They drop so much runecloth its insane. And since it sells for around 1.75 to 2g on my server. That not a hard choice to make. Plus the amounts of blues/purples i have had drop are pretty darn good.
