Klovnene's guide to "the insane"

Sorry I cant help you out with a CC, however, I can offer some advice. Take the time you were going to spend gathering junk boxes, either manually or messing around with CCs and profiles, etc., and instead run a gathering toon with GB and then take the gold you make selling mats and invest it in buying Heavy Lockboxes in trade chat.

I started farming my own junk boxes and after taking the time to get 100 or so I thought "to hell with this". Instead, I created a lvl 1 toon in SW and started posting in trade "50 gold per Heavy Junkbox..." Well, I did a nice catchy phrase and what not, advertising is key. Anyhow, I had rogues coming out of the woodwork to farm for me and given the massive influx of gold we can farm with the new cata mats I havent even felt the expense. Took 4 days to get my 1400+ junkboxes. and less than 10 min to turn them in with a nice little macro.

Did the same thing with Darkmoon decks for rep turnin although I farmed alot of the low level herbs and made alot of my own decks as well. Now I only have the Goblin factions to get rep with and that title is mine. : )

Just food for thought...

 

A GM have confirmed that you can trash your Bloodsail rep after getting it to honored once.

What I'm thinking is, you say that the Steamwheedle cartel 1 only gets 300 kills/hour and Steamwheedle Cartel 2 gives 600 - why would you start with profile number 1, and dont just start with number 2?
Whats the point of Fray Island, cant you just keep going with Steamwheedle Cartel?

And since it doesnt matter if you have Bloodsail rep, would it be faster to grind those fuckers in STV?

With Ravenholdt, the mobs you kill, cant they give the boxes from pickpocketing?

With Darkmoon Faire, is it excactly 60 Epic decks (No matter of them being old or not) or is it the 85 decks only? (that would be a bitch)

Hope I asked clearly enough - farming Bloodsail rep atm.. So only at 1st point

 

I've also confirmed

Post shattering I believe Fray island is the only way to get gadgetzan rep up past honored

You only kill them if it will make them respawn faster, 'picked' pockets respawn on their own after 4minutes iirc therefore if you kill the mob and it respawns in under 1min then you can repick its pocket quicker

Perhaps they added more rep but when i did mine it was 120 epic decks


Also i entirely agree with malice's post above, if you have any effective method of earning gold then work out how much you can earn in a normal day, compare that with the amount of time needed to farm them and you will likely find that YOUR time is more effectively spent at the AH than out doing some slow grind, let the people who dont know how to make gold do the labor for you

When i did mine i was paying 250-300g per mail of 12 boxes which worked out at somewhere around 30-40k in total, I was however making 3-5k a day on the AH easily. Since i was working on the other reps at the same time i had 1/2 rogues on the go sending me boxes whenever they needed a cash injection and it was fine, even at that slow rate i was still done before i finished the other reps required. The added bonus was i could keep a better eye on the AH to buy up all the cheap mats for crafting decks and those illusive pristine black diamonds

 

Ive heard alot talking about turning in cloth for Steamwheedle cartel rep - where do I do that?

EDIT: Nvm, I figured it out.

 

Just so you know, I have had several GMs both confirm and deny the need for Bloodsail rep...sadly they have no idea what is going on most of the time. Take anything they say with a grain of salt. They told me I needed the rep at the same time, then they said no the requirement had changed, then they said no, it is def still a requirement to have the rep at the same time and sorry for any misinformation I had already received. I personally didnt want to take the chance. Given all the time put into the acheivement I figure a few more hours of grinding was worth having both Bloodsail and the Goblin rep at the same time.

Blackrock Spire is a great place to pickpocket the Heavy Lockboxes...I still suggest farming out that task as much as possible to other rogues though, 1400+ boxes will take you a while to pickpocket on your own. If your decent in the AH you can pay for the service and have all the boxes you need in under a week especially with all the gold coming in from Cata mats.

Darkmoon Epic decks are 350 per turn in, old or new, they do not need to be cata decks. However, buy or make all Sword and Rogue Decks you can as well. They are cheap and much easy to get though they are only 25 rep per turnin and you do not need the Darkmoon Fair to be in town to turn them in, with epic decks you can only turn them in at the fair grounds. As many epic cards as you make, there is always one of the eight that has a really low spawn rate so you end up with 20 of each type of epic card except for one. Set a bot up farming herbs in STV and then turn those into Sword and Rogues decks unless there is an abundance of cheap Epic decks in the AH. There were very few on my realm sadly and those that were available were well overpriced.

Also, a nice place to farm goblin rep is on the Pirate Ship in Venture Bay, in Grizzly Hills killing Venture Co. Evacuees. You get 5 rep Booty Bay. 2 rep Ratchet,
3 rep Gadgetzan and 2 rep Everlook for every kill and they are almost instant respawns, there is no down time here and easily botable. You cap at revered here but it is much faster grind before having to switch back to the old routes.

Also, you can turn in cloth for golbin rep outside each of the goblin towns as part of a repeatable quest. It can only be done until you hit neutral though then the quest is gone. REMEMBER, if you do the cloth turnin you are killing your Bloodsail rep stone dead. You will be maxed hated when you are through. Just so you know...

 

Well, I see the part: "Honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers" removed from the achievement part, so I suppose that it has counted.

Atm, I'm farming Steamwheedle rep back up, since cloth is ridiculously expensive on my server, Ive just putted it on grind mode. - Completed about 20 rogues decks yesterday, only to find out that you could get to 2000/6000 Friendly with Darkmoon, only to remember that you could do the ticket stuff first!! -.-

For the Darkmoon Faire, I'll stalk AH for epic decks, and cheap herbs like mageroyal, briarthorn and such, so I can mill some Verdant pigment.

Yeah I started on the turn in with ratchet, havent gotten that far yet though, cause of a stack price of linen cloth at about 40g each -.-

 

Sorry about that, should have mentioned you could get to 2000/6000 with Darkmoon quests...my bad. Please post if you get the acheive after loosing your Bloodsail rep. Alot of folks are interested in that fact. Anyhow, you can probably spam trade to get some cloth cheaper. Much like the Junk boxes, if you offer a decent price you will probably get folks coming out of the woodwork to farm for you. AH is always more expensive especially after you start buying everything up.

 

I am not sure why but my Toon seams to stop on top of one of the cannon ports on the second ship where Captian Dreadbeard is. it just will stop there from time to time and not do anything until i move it off.

 

I got the "Insane" title by hand and it was a PITA. Really wish I would have known about HB before I did it lol.

 

And yet, arent you more proud of it because you didnt get it for nothing in some meaningless way?

 

Yeah you are right about that. Another reason why I don't want my main account banned hahaha.

 

Would it be possible to make a lockpicking profile for LBRS or UBRS? blasted lands is taking ages

 

Run it with more bots. Or make gold and buy them from players... Or possibly make your own profile...

 

Any way you can fix fray island? after every kill he keeps running inside the building where the captain is even when theres no one in there

edit: never mind fast re spawns plus captain garvy gives lots of rep

 

@ Difusion : i suggest u to use some speed hack (use google) to pickpocket manualy the mob in ALL blasted land map in about 20 minutes u can farm around 40 boxes wait to respawn (maybe gathering some erbs in stranglethorn vale)
and bot just to gather all herbs (more than 15k according to Sainter's222 guide to darkmoon)

 

For the herbs, just use a Stranglethorn path and throw a bot on it, or two, and from the herbs you get you can make both Rogue and Swords decks. they both give 25 rep each and you will get alot of both of the decks from this. With one bot going you should have enough decks in a week to get to exalted. Also, buy any Rogue and Swords decks you see in the AH along with any cheap Purple decks (they give 350rep). Remember to get all the rep you can from the Fair itself (2000/6000) from the base quests before starting to turn in the decks. Although you can turn in the Sword and Rogues decks anytime, you will need the Fair to be in town to turn in Purple decks.

For the Lock boxes, dont waste your time farming them, offer a fair price in trade and just buy them with gold you make botting. You will find plenty of people willing to farm them for you and you can have enough from this in a week to get your exalted status. Just yell out in trade that your looking to buy Heavy Junkboxes and the Rogues will come running. I tried the farming route and, you are right, it just takes too long. Let someone else waste their day in L/UBRS.

 

botting whiptail atm for cata decks, took me about 2hours to mile all herbs for about 20 cards though :/

 

I am useing allrounder plugin it will mill and make inks and cards for you but wont trade in inks.

 

Thx, ill try it out ^^

*EDIT*
working like a charm!

 

yeah its pretty awesome I been milling all my herbs and making cards with that plugin.
