How I'm Making Gold in Cataclysm (JMTC Blogging Carnival)

The topic for JMTC's Blogging Carnival for January 2nd was pretty simple, "How Are You Making Gold in Cataclysm". For me, its been skinning. First, it was farming the stone bats(skinning) and the jaspertip swarmers in Deepholm while under the influence of the treasure finding potion. It didn't take long before this was nerfed, the bats are no longer skinable. With the price of leather still high on my server I continued to search for a large concentration of easily farmed and skinable mobs.

(The red dots are where the mobs are located)

While on my tankadin (who is my skinner). Waiting on an AFK healer at the start of Lost City of Tol'Vir, I pulled a pack of tigers and their Tamer, quickly burning through them. Everyone looted and I pulled the second pack, then as I scrolled over one to loot, the skinning icon showed up and the rest is history.

After the instance I quickly returned back to Lost City, this time I was solo. Tossing my buffs and seal up I popped wings and pulled the first pack, focusing on the Elite the tigers died quickly due to his shared damage as well as the tankadin's AoE. The second pack went no differently, using 3 HP Word of Glorys to keep myself up was more than enough. 

Spending about 5 minutes per zone in, stepping out, resetting and repeating 5 times until the instance cap is hit takes just under 30 minutes for me and yields pretty nice results.

Grey items: 28g

113x Savage Leather=22xHeavy Savage Leather (75g per): 1650

17x Embersilk Cloth: 68g

13x Toughened Flesh: 65g

1x Heavenly Shard: 125g

Total=1936g

I'm sure there are better ways that yield more gold/time spent but I couldn't ask for a simpler way for steady income. Also, be sure to check out JTMC and for all my fellow bloggers, take part in the Blogging Carnival!
