Now there are many ways to obtain all three of those things, but today I&#8217;m going to run through some of the best ways, that I&#8217;ve come across, to obtain each piece of this puzzle! (Note: All of these ways are also Gold farms of their own, but I&#8217;ll get to that in each section.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#d10303\"> Resources<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I know everyone wants to have as many BfA ores, herbs, and skins as possible because with the release of Shadowlands, all of these resources are going to become a little harder to obtain, Here&#8217;s a quick list of ways to get each type of resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ores are probably the trickiest resource to farm, but fear not as they have very easy to spot drop places! Monelite Ore  and it&#8217;s rarer, more exclusive cousin Platinum Ore can both be found in mountainous regions and on rocky outcrops.  Following rivers in any of the areas will net you a very large amount of this ore very quickly. Stormsilver is  a slightly trickier ore to obtain but is found mostly throughout caves, and so running through every cave you find is a very good idea!<\/li><li>Herbs are relatively easy as a lot of them spawn in the vicinity of water! Riverbud, as its name implies, can only be found near water sources, so literally following a river will net you more than you can carry in a very short amount of time! Siren&#8217;s sting is also a very common Herb that across all high-pop servers still sells for a very large amount! These herbs can be found on the tree trunks of very large trees. Funnily enough these trees also spawn near water, so following a river like in Zuldazar will usually net you a very large amount of both Siren&#8217;s  sting and River bud! Anchor weed is the rarer drop of River bud so this is also the most effective way to farm it!<\/li><li>Skinners might have the easiest time gathering as their resources comes from all over the place, but that doesn&#8217;t mean they don&#8217;t want to find a way to maximize their time spent gathering! The best way that I&#8217;ve found is the Atal&#8217;Dazar gold shuffle method, that I&#8217;ll go over in a bit, but you skinners out there should head over to the Atal&#8217;Dazar dungeon located in Zuldazar, and  farm out the dinosaur monsters in the instance to net you a supreme amount of Bones and Skins!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#beb216\">Gold<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now there are many ways to make a quick amount of gold, but I&#8217;ve decided to showcase one specifically as it is the highest return rate of any &#8220;solo&#8221; gold farm I&#8217;ve every seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start this gold farmer there are a few things you&#8217;ll want to make sure you have under your belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make sure you have maxed out BfA Skinning and Leatherworking professions.<\/li><li>Make sure that you have Blood-stained Bone and Shimmerscale gathering skills 3-starred.<\/li><li>Make sure that your &#8220;Shimmerscale Striker&#8221; recipe is 3-star&#8217;d.<\/li><li>Optional: Darkmoon firewater increases gathering by a huge amount, Zandalari skinning glove enchant also greatly increases skinning. The add-on &#8220;faster loot&#8221; helps with looting mobs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now onto the farm. First set your dungeon difficulty to normal, and head to Atal&#8217;Dazar located in Zuldazar. Once you&#8217;re there head into the instance and clear the terrace that you spawn on of all the dinosaur enemies. (There&#8217;s only one humanoid mob so if you just clear the entire first terrace you&#8217;ll be fine.) Once you&#8217;ve cleared the terrace, skin and loot all of the dino mobs. Once you&#8217;re done with that, head out of the instance, reset, and go again! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going through this process at maximum skinning level and maxed stars for all your gathering, you&#8217;re looking at roughly 150 scales and 100 Blood-stained Bones. Once you leave the instance to reset it you can make the recipe &#8220;Shimmerscale Striker&#8221; which vendors for 56 gold a piece. Doing this shuffle on instance lockout, you should be able to do this dungeon run about 10 times per hour. The sources I&#8217;ve come across that cover this gold shuffle have done the math and you&#8217;re looking at roughly 9,000 gold per hour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#f728f0\">Transmogrification<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us enjoy collecting appearances for our characters so that we can be fashionistas while still have the best gear in the game! With the on-coming pre-patch, I&#8217;ve decided to highlight a really good Transmog run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this grind, you&#8217;re going to head to Thousand Needles. On the far east side there&#8217;s a cave called &#8220;Saltstone cave&#8221;, this is where you&#8217;ll be spending most of your time. This cave is basically a circle path, and since the ogres here have a very high respawn rate, by the time you&#8217;re finished with a lap, the entire cave will have respawned. The reason this farm is so good is because it has the largest loot pool for &#8220;Vanilla&#8221; WoW items, so doing this grind for hours, you won&#8217;t see a duplicate item! Not to mention the fact that there is a particular set that shares it&#8217;s name with the cave it is found in, that on the auction house will sell for nearly 100,000 gold per set!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you&#8217;re looking to make gold, add transmogrification looks to your roster, or you&#8217;re adding to your collection of resources before the pre-patch, there&#8217;s a farm here for everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8249,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1265146],"class_list":["post-21","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-shadowlands"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8249"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21\/revisions\/22"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/doyourdailies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
