Farm 800G/Hour In Sholazar For Engineers

Sholazar has for the longest of time been known as the best Herbalism/Mining place, but a problem is, it’s way too over crowded similar to Icecrown. Hence the money ain’t that awesome afterall. So I’m going to show you how to make tons of money in Sholazar, even when it is crowded particularly for you Engineers out there.

First of all, you will have to be an Engineer and then you’ll need Zapthrottle Mote Extractor the good old Mote Extractor from TBC. This great device has saved many broke people throughout the years, and it will now save you from being broke.

Second, you may like to have herbalism/mining as a secondary profession, just for a little extra money.

With the path I use below, I spend about 10 minutes around Sholazar, every run results in 2-3 Eternal Fire and 1-2 stacks of Saronite, a few Crystallized/Eternal Shadow, earth and water. And maybe a few gems/titanium ore if I’m lucky with mining as my second profession.

The spawn rate for Gas Clouds and Mining/Herb nodes is surprising not that long. You can probably reduce the size of the path by 50% (cutting down on a few nodes/clouds) and still you won’t have to wait for the respawn.

The difference between the Gas Clouds from Outlands and those in Northrend is that the ones in Northrend usually doesn’t move more than maximum 10 yards away from their spawn-point. Thus making it a lot easier to follow a route as you won’t have to fly in a 30 yards radius around each spawn point.

And here is the route:

Typically I start off from Dalaran -> River’s Heart (Middle of Sholazar) since it saves me the amazing amount of 60s or something, since I’m not flying to Nesingwary. And from there, I fly straight South till I get to the path, then I just start following it to the east, and circle around Sholazar, following the path. (Note: This is the best path to follow, I’ve tried modifying it many times, but still this is the best trust me.)

The pinpoints on the map are pretty much accurate of where you can find Gas Clouds, I have decided not to tag Saronite/Herbs on the map, seeing as this is mainly for Engineers. (Please feel free to modify the map with Saronite/herb spawns.)

Each Gas Clouds contains 2-4 Crystallized Fire and 1x Crystallized Water. The Clouds are Named Steam Cloud, you cannot find them on Wowhead, seeing as they aint “objects”. You can track them on the map if you ahve the mote extractor in your backpack, you can track both gas Clouds and Ores/Herbs at the same time.
