Tyr's Hand is Still a Great Farming Spot

Tyr's Hand, located in Eastern Plaguelands may have been the prime farming spot back when the level cap was 60, but believe it or not, this little Scarlet encampment is still a great place to farm, even at 80. I encourage you to try it out for yourself and see what I mean. Seriously, farm your face off. I've pulled over 500g/hour in this spot by just mass pulling, killing, looting and watching Friends. Without the Friends part, but it is a good show. Oh, Ross!

Six reasons that make this spot great:

1. The mobs are only level 50+ elites. Basically, they're weaksauce. This means, at level 80, you can easily AoE the little Scarlet punks down in packs. It's like a hot knife through butter. The more mobs you can kill, the more you can loot. Simple.

2. The mobs drops a fairly substantial amount of silver. Some of these guys drop 20+ sivler/each, making it very easy to mass pull and profit. I haven't found anywhere else in the game where such low level mobs drop such high amounts of cold, hard cash. After a couple hours of farming, it really adds up. I have no idea where the Scarlet Crusade acquired so much wealth, but it's yours for the taking.

3. They drop greens. Lots of greens. If you're an enchanter, you can shard and dust these suckers, or simply sell your greens on the AH. Either way, the drop rate is pretty generous. Besides the greens, they drop an amazing amount of white quality items which vendor quite nicely. Some mobs even drop old world gems. Since jewelcrafting is hot right now and lots of people are trying to powerlevel it, these old gems sell for a nice amount.

4. Runecloth. Spend an hour here and you'll have about 20 stacks of runecloth. Runecloth is valuable because it's used for reputation turn ins with major cities and, therefore, always sells well on the auction house. Personally, I like to stockpile runecloth on a bank alt and save it for days when it's running low on the AH and then unload my entire stock.

5. The Enchant Weapon: Crusader formula drops here off the Scarlet Archmages. While the drop rate has been recently buffed, I don't think many people know about the recent change, so it goes unfarmed. I've gotten this recipe to drop numerous times and each time it sells for 400g+ on the auction house. Crusader is one of the best enchants you can put on the Bind On Account weapons, making it a highly sought after recipe. Besides this enchant, other enchants will drop as well, but none are nearly as profitable as Crusader.

6. Privacy. The place is a ghost town on most servers. Nobody is ever there. It's an overlooked little gold mine, so you'll have virtually no competition. Of course, I can't speak for all servers, but I can at least verify I've never seen anyone else there on mine (minus lowbies who innocently pass by doing their quests... and then I gank them).

So, there you have it. Give the spot a try and let me know what you think. Now, clear out your bags and get farming.
