(This is a different article.from the prior article about a potential dupe. )

A patreon has very kindly shared the following information about an uinusually profitable gold farm:

Nightfall Sanctum Level 1 Delve

Drops Profaned Tinderbox 75% of the time:

https://www.wowhead.com/item=221758/profaned-tinderbox

This sells for around 5k-8k per time.

Completion time for a well-geared character 4-5 minutes.

My source estimates 90k per hour. I've put 50k an hour in the title as a conservative estimate and recognition of the fact some of the items may take a while to sell. according to auction data.

(I'm reluctant to post auction house item value as gold per hour unless it is something like materials which sell instantly., but do be aware you can make a lot more from farming greens etc if you are prepared to re-post items and be patient.

In future articles I will be discussing twinking - potentially you can run this farm much faster with a twink.

havent tried yet but the wowhead comments from 15 days ago say its once per week or potentially more but you should use all herb/fishing/mine tracking with the idol for higher drop rate

I've just tried doing this 5 times only the first time did I get one from the chest after the first shade guy as u launch over nothing else yet is there something I'm missing Edit: make sure you defeat all enemy packs simply just rushing to end don't drop tinderboxes I just got 2 in one run

If your going to run tier 1, use Brann as a Dmg Dealer. Significantly increases completion time.

What does it drop from? The chest at the end?

I believe it was working as intended prior to reset which changes the objectives and chest locations in the delve. Only had time to do it 15 minutes before reset each run took about 3 minutes & in that time I looted 3 tinderbox. When reset hit & the objective changed I didn't recieve any for 7 runs. When the objective comes back it may potentially spark back up the tinderglitch

I've been trying this more and I've found I'm only getting tinderboxes as I change the tiers first run of each new tier has netted me 2 tinderboxes

Matt stone

It was the one where you use the action button to distract the purple circles to rescue the allies, followed by looting 7 bags and ending with defeating the 2 elite mobs on the ship.

Don Derper

Yes I ran it before the reset had got like 3 tinderbox from 4 runs and now it is 1 tinderbox from 4

Seems to work now with the current delve in rotation. I did 8 full completions in about 6 minutes. 9 Tinderboxes 7 from Chests 2 from Brann Gathering Maybe there is a hidden scoring system that is tied to rewards. Wouldn't surprise me if Blizzard took the Torghast scoring and then added massive drop rarity increase for 90%+

ZZZzzzZzzz

i just did 16 lvl 1 delves in like 40 minutes with my dh and i got only 3 tinderboxes from the chests

Chris Mason

6 mins for all 8 or 6 mins each run? If it's the former you need to share that trick.

Bobby Sophabmixay

6 Minutes each run as a full clear and all items gathered. Same times on my 610 Arcane Mage and 580 Blood DK. Quickest clear was 2 minutes 20 seconds w/ Arcane Mage.

its fs just a luck thing ive done 20 so far and have only not got them twice
