This guide is for any enchanters that can disenchant to large brilliant shards and can stealth. In my experience a stealthed enchanter is by far the most profitable. I am a 70 Rogue specced 21/0/40 and in pvp blues and instance blues. I by no means have “uber” gear so Id imagine a well geared rogue or druid could take this guide a little further. I am using the follow guide to work on my epic flying mount and to stock pile gold. I am over 3k as I post this with hopes to having my mount by the end of this weekend. I do apologize if the following has been posted…
What you will need
Rogue will need the shadowforge key or lockpicking high enough to get through the doors.
Druid will of course need the key, its pretty easy to get at 70 though.
First part
Start off by entering the instance and working your way through the door to the left. Continue on to the next gate and enter through it. Come up to the East Garrison door and go through it (do not unlock the locking mechanism in the back of this room just yet) Continue up the ramp and make your way through the arena. Take the other exit out of the arena and go down the right side of the hall until you get to the Monument of Franclorn Forgewright. There you will see an rare elite (always up but still has the rare symbol) named Pyromancer Loregrain. These are easy kills, at 70 you pretty much resist everything, just make sure his 2 buddies don’t have a chance to run or you can aggro the group behind you. Do not DE his blue item, it will only DE into a small brilliant shard and his staff sells for a little over 4g to a vendor and the others sell for around 2. The only reason you kill him is he has a 12% chance to drop the fiery weapon enchant recipe which sells for 35-40g on my server.
Second Part
The next part we will be heading to the Vault. This is the room where the coffer keys can be used and the dark coffer key. So head back down the hall past where you cam out of the arena, cross the bridge and go through the domicle. Continue out of that and go around to you get to the vault. There you will see Warder Stilgiss and his demon Verek guarding the coffer room. These are very easy kills also, just kill Warder and then take out the demon. I have never aggroed the room before them and I always kill them right where they stand. His demon has a chance to drop his collar (see it maybe 1 out of every 4 runs) DE this every time, turns into a large brilliant shard. DE everything Warder Stilgiss drops except Arbiters Blade (it will DE into a small brilliant shard and sells more to vendor that shard is worth).
Optional
Dark Keeper locations. There is only 3 places I will go after the dark keeper. To spawn him look at the portrait in the first room where you just killed Warder Stilgiss, read it and it will tell you where the Keeper just spawned. I have highlighted on the map where 3 spawns are that I kill him (feel free to try the others but when he spawns in the bar or in west garrison I always end up dying because of adds and its not worth my time) if you get a good spawn then approach him, he is again a very easy kill, I kill him and his 2 guards in hopes of getting a regular coffer key also. Loot him and return to the vault and open the middle lock in the back of the room. Usuall get a green that will DE into illusion dust or greater nether essence.
Third Part
This part we will be going after Lord Incendius. Go right out of the vault you were just in and he is right below you. I go to where you came out of the Domicile and just jump down. This guy can catch you off guard if you don’t position yourself. He can knock you off the platform and into the lava so just make sure you are always in a position that you have room behind you. Other than that he is pretty simple. Rogues cloak of shadows is useful here. DE every blue he drops, they are all Large Brilliant Shards. Exit out the SW side down the Dark Iron Highway until you get back to the gates you unlocked when you first enetered (this is why you didn’t unlock that locking mechanism at first so the door on the high way would remain open.
Fourth Part
The last two parts will be in the Bar. The next go we will go after is Phalanx. He is the Golem in the corner of the bar. You have to do a little quest event to make him aggressive and killable. On the upper side of the bar is a little goblin named Plugger Spazzring. Buy all the dark ale mug (note he sometimes has a rare leather working pattern that sells decent on AH). Directly across from him is a dwarf (can’t remember his name but he is green to you, do not talk to NPCs that are yellow to ya) After you give him a few things of the ale he will start off a mini even where he looks for more ale in the kegs, hill will damage the last keg and this will trigger Phalanx. I pull him to the corner he came from and kill him there, keep your back to the wall cause he knocks you back also. DE any blue he drops into a large brilliant shard..
Fifth Part
The last person you will kill for a shard is Hurley Blackbreath. Go to the lower section of the bar in to the far room where no one is there. There is 3 clickable kegs all bunched together. Click each one. On the last keg Hurley and his gang will come running in. they will not aggro you. He has 3 guards with him. As a rogue, just sap one guard kill Hurley, loot and vanish. If youre a druid im guessing you could kill all with ease with your heals.
More Options
If you in need of a 16 slot bag or ammo pouch you can also kill Ribbly Screwspigot in the bar, he is just outside where you just killed Hurley, just talk to him and run back into where you killed Hurley. The only thing is all his bags are unique so you can only have one of each.
Repeat
Pretty sure there is more ways to make gold in here but I have found this to work best for me. I can do this run over and over never worrying about being in an instance too many times cause it takes almost 20 min per run. In these 20 min runs I get the following
3-5 Large Brilliant Shards - 7 gold each on my server
Fiery Enchant recipe – 35 gold on my server (remember this is just a 12% chance but I have seen it drop up to 3 times in a row)
Around 5-10g (depending on if I get things I don’t wanna DE) in vendor blues and and coin from NPCs
This is a chance for almost 80g in 20-30 minutes (all depending on what things sell for on your server)
Also note I know there is other things I can kill before all this but Im in it for Large Brilliant Shards and nother before this except the arena event (which kills my speed of this) drops anything that DE's to Large Brilliant Shards.
I would like to get better gear and try to go deeper in this where I can kill General Angorforge (I get him to 20% and he calls his buddies lol) and maybe the chest event.
Please don’t go bragging to everyone if you start profiting off this. Gold is so hard to make and this works really well, and we don't want to see it changed.
