[00:00] Good morning and welcome back towards another video and today we are going to be talking about the Halls of Lightning. Let us begin. Now the Halls of Lightning are a gold farm that I've talked about in the past, like way in the past, like at least about five years ago and as this

[00:16] is my 10th year doing gold making YouTube videos, the Halls of Lightning definitely is something I want to talk about. So that is the the overall gold per hour with worth its

[00:31] estimations is around about 18,000 gold. Now this is just an estimation based off of averages so bear that one in mind right there. Items of note that you can actually obtain from this are the boots of the terrestrial guardian which on the

[00:47] market average is around about 16,000 gold. You have the skull cage of eternal terror which is roughly on the market average 1600 you've got the storm vortex braces 6000

[01:00] gold in the market average along with the sash of hardened watcher which is 5000 gold on the market average as well you do have other different types of notable greens that you can get from this this

[01:14] can be anything from the spider lord set to the to the golem set that you can actually get and you you can also obtain a few pieces of Wendigo and Magnetar set as well as all of that. Alongside

[01:28] this you are able to get a lot of different types of crystallized items like crystallized fire, crystallized earth, crystallized air which stack up as an additional material to sell on the auction

[01:40] house along with the relics of Alduar which go for anywhere from around about two to four gold per piece and that's used for reputation within the Storm Peaks and you're able to actually

[01:53] increase your reputation with the faction of the Sons of Hodir that why people buy them just for note However in general you mainly going for those high ticket items like literally those Boots of the Terrestrial Guardian,

[02:07] definitely want a set of those. But along with that, if you're really trying to boost up or pad out your auction house, Halls of Lightning is definitely a keynote pick in general. Now with the Halls of Lightning via the run,

[02:21] you're going to be just literally bursting your way through batching up them to the first boss then batch up the second boss and then and then all the way up and so on and so forth up until you get back to lokan and then once you defeat lokan you can just go behind his throne jump down

[02:38] and go reset out the instance as it is kind of like how the mana tombs works as you don't have to like stop halfway through and then just go out and reset the instance you can do it that way

[02:50] no need for dream walk it is definitely a all-player friendly one so it's not like black fathom deeps where you're a bit screwed if you aren't running with a druid you can easily do it with any character while you're farming this up so halls of lightning i would highly recommend

[03:07] as a padding gold farm with a off chance of getting some medium end boe blue transmog with that so double check the auction houses on worth it if you want to or go ahead and start farming

[03:21] it regardless it is a good gold farm in order to farm up and just get yourself into transmog within the wrath of the lich king based mogs that are obtainable other than that have an awesome rest

[03:34] of your day and i shall see you in the next video which will be soon Thank you.
