Farming Scarlet Monastery, For Silk and Profit

Lack of cloth is a situation that has been more or less permanent since I started playing World of Warcraft. This is why it seems important to me to say and do what I can to educate my fellow players so that fewer have to suffer the embarrassment of buying cloth on the Auction House for tailoring, or God forbid, to raise their First Aid skill.

Don’t laugh. I’ve seen it happen. (cough, cough)

Today’s article is dedicated to an old favorite. It’s been written about through and through, front to back and upside down. But I’ve never written about it, so here it is.

My friends, I give you: THE SCARLET MONASTERY — An In-Depth, Full-Clear, Silk and Profit Analysis, By Mandorall the Magnificent.

The background: Mandorall’ kind of bored, because his friends never ask him out to play, so this morning, he figured that he would pout and clear Scarlet Monastery, all by his lonesome. Quite honestly, it wasn’t much of a challenge. Actually it wasn’t a challenge at all. Mandorall is a 70^th level Protection Paladin. Granted, he’s got crappy gear, but come ON. He could — and did — take 20 to 30 Scarlet people at the same time and not die. Not heal, even. But that’s not important right now.

What’s important is how much WoW Gold Mandorall had coming in.

Mandorall went it with 195g 57s 87c, 62 empty bag slots and 20 Mana Biscuits. I know, there’s better, but they do the job and Mandorall still has stacks of them getting moldy in the bank.

After clearing all four (4) instance areas, he had:

207g 68s 02c
Grey items worth 3g 7s 86c
Blue & Green Bind-on-Pickup Soulbound items worth about 4g
15 Greens and recipes to be sold at the Auction House – Value unknown

And the clincher:

14 Mageweave cloths
17 Wool Cloths
239 Silk Cloths

Excluding the Cloth, which I gathered because presumably I needed Silk cloth for another one of my toons, but that I may end up selling on the Auction House, here is the profit:

Cash dropped from mobs: 12g 10s 15c
Value of greys: 3g 7s 86c
Value of Soulbound items: 4g

Total direct cash infusion: 19g 18s 01c

I would also like to point out that there are several more opportunities here to make cash in a situation like this.

Enchanting

If Mandorall had been an enchanter, he could have disenchanted all those soulbound Blues and Greens for a lot more cash than I sold them for to the vendor (4g). He may yet become an enchanter, as he is intensely frustrated with his chosen profession, Blacksmithing, which is teeth-gnashingly slow and expensive.

Bigger Bags

If Renei (Mandorall’s Mage Tailor friend) wasn’t so cheap, he would have made Mandorall bigger bags, which would have allowed him to keep more stuff. I had to destroy quite a few greys and even a couple of blues to make room for Silk (which, I’ll remind you, was the reason I was there)

So that’s it, folks. About 20 WoW Gold cash, 240 Silk Cloths, and assorted Greens which are probably worth between 5 and 30 Gold on the Auction House. The whole clear took me about 1h 45mn but I’m sure you can do better.
