There is no doubt that 5,000g is a lot. It can be acquired by methods I have already showed you, but there are still many more secrets and better ways.
I am letting you in on one of the really great ways. We will take a look at Primal Farming. Primals are in high demand and I have made some serious bank from them.
It is very rare to get a Primal as a drop; usually you will get yours from collecting 10 motes of the same name and then converting them to a single Primal.
There are a few vendors that actually sell these Motes as Limited Supply Items. They are Dealer Najeeb in Netherstorm and Deal Tariq in Terokkar Forest. You can get these for 16s which is a freaking bargain. Other than that you will have to farm them.
The motes can be dropped from mobs of various levels in areas all throughout the Outlands. The object is to find the hot spot where you can kills mobs fast and get good drop rates for those Motes.
There are quite a few people already doing this, so you will have to try to find a spot where the competition does not slow you down too much. It is also best to do it during your server’s off period, which is usually like EARLY morning/middle of the night.
Do not take everyone else’s advice to farm Motes in the Elemental Plateau in Nagrand. While there is a good drop rate there, it has a few problems. It is only accessible by a flying mount… which obviously you are not going to have yet; and everybody knows about it this place. Competition is too much to make the rates worth a damn.
Primal Water – Silmyr Lake
Primal Water is one of the more valuable Primals, and the Motes can be farmed in several great locations.
The best spot of all is usually Silmyr Lake. This is a small lake in the far northern part of Terokkar Forest; just head out of Shattrath City and go north a bit. You are going to kill some Shimmerscale Eels, which drop the Mote of Water about 15% of the time. Do you hear that? I think I hear those mounts coming! Okay, I’m not funny… I will get on with the lesson.
The eels are level 62/63, and they have pretty low health; this means that at level 70 you will be burning through these bad boys. You can even farm here as a mid 60’s toon if you want.
At level 70 you be able to get around 40 Motes of Water here in an hour. That 4 Primal water and around another 100gold. If you are a miner, go ahead and grab the Fel Iron around the shore; and grab the junk that drops too b/c you can get a couple more gold selling it to the Vendor.
You will want to be sure and bring water breathing potions or gear with you, and probably an Azure Silk Belt for the speed buff.
While you are at it you might as well grab the quest for this area. “Rather Be Fishin” is available at Seth at the north end of Shattrath’s Lower City. As a reward you get Seth’s Graphite Fishing Pole. That fishing pole will come in handy when I give you more info on fishing in your riches.
Primal Water – Other Locations
There are some more spots to cash in on Primal Water besides Silmyr Lake. The Lagoon in Zangarmarsh, west of Cenarion Refuge, is loaded with Lagoon Eels that drop Motes of Water. These Eels are a bit tougher though, and the spawn rate is lower; but odds are you will not be competing against many people at all here.
You fisher dudes and chicks out there can bring in Motes of Water from fishing pretty much anywhere in Nagrand, Zangarmarsh or Terokkar. Watch for patches of water in Nagrand’s Skysong Lake, up north; and Lake Sunspring, in the west.
