First of all, you must be a herbalist, or your friend has to be a herbalist.
How do you farm 200-300 gold an hour? Simple. Go to Skettis (Southeast in Terrokar Forrest). Around the lake, Talonsworn Forest-Ragers patrol. There are 2 up at a time, and respawn roughly 2-4 minutes after you kill one. They do not drop anything special, but this is where the herbalism comes into play. After you kill them, you can Herb them, which yields: 2 sets of 2-4 herbs which can be the following - Felweed, Dreaming Glory, Mana Thistle, Terocone, Ancient Lichen, and Black Lotus... Yes... Black Lotus. IT GETS BETTER! EVery time you herb them you also get 2-5 Motes of Life!!! On my server, Motes of life sell for 12-20 gold Per. And most of the herbs sell for 25-40g a stack, aswell as Black lotus selling for 15g Per.
These Trees CAN be soloed because they can be stunned / feared, but is very hard if your not Ranged. I am a Rogue in full kara / gruul epics and I have a hard time, so i bring along a friend to help. I give him 25% of what i make.
The beauty of this is that you can kill them in 2-3 minutes a peice, and they have an extremely fast respawn time! Enjoy this while it lasts because i can almost guarantee Blizzard will fix this so they dont drop so many high level herbs with 2-5 motes of life EVERY time they are herbed!
