How to earn 1,000G in two hours
From Fanfan on Mal’Ganis the WoW forums:
Strapped for cash? need to buy epic flying mount? Want to make 1000g in 2 hours?
Nagrand – Elemental Plateau (67,23)
Wind Elementals = Drop 1-2 motes of air, 10x combines to 1 Primal Air = ~20g per
Fire Elementals = Drop 1-2 motes of fire, 10x combines to 1 Primal Fire = ~25g per
Water Elementals = Drop 1-2 motes of water, 10x combines to 1 Primal Water = ~20g per
2 hours of farming yielded 978g
Nagrand – Lake South of Throne of Elements (58,26) under the water
Water Elementals = Drop 1-2 motes of water, 10x combines to 1 Primal Water = ~20g per
Netherstorm – Ruins of Enkaat (34,57) north of area 52
Mana Wraiths = Drop 1-2 motes of mana, 10x combines to 1 Primal Mana = ~15g per
Rock Elementals = drop 1-2 motes of earth, 10x combines to 1 Primal Earth = ~10g per

Shadowmoon Valley – The Hand of Gul’dan (47,45)

Rock Elementals = drop 1-2 motes of earth, 10x combines to 1 Primal Earth = ~10g per
2 hours of farming yeilded 840g
The method relies upon crafters needing lots of the new primal essences for many decent high-level craftables, and is pretty ingenious. There is a very strong demand for these right now as everyone is rushing to skill up their professions. I can see the price dropping somewhat if everyone begins doing it, but the primal essences have a low deposit amount on the auction house, which makes them well-suited to waiting for a high buyout.
I may consider doing this once I run out of quests, if I’m still shy of the 5k I need for my epic flying mount.
Take a zero of the farming yeilded figure more like.
To get 10 motes of water i goto the small lake north east of Shatrath city it takes about 20 mins to get ten to 15 motes.
1000g in 2 hours is not going to happen for me more like 100g if that.
This strategy is flawed. At 20g a primal, in order to earn 500g/hour, you need 25 primals an hour. Thats 250 motes. With a drop % of 25%, thats 1000 kills in an hour to get 500g/hour. Thats 16 kills a minute, or a kill faster than every 4 seconds, for an hour?
