1. Keep your inv clean.
All those weapons/armor/Jewelry that you have been hording.. get rid of it! AH/NPC them immediately. The game gives you a higher chance of finding good items, because of the absence of special items in your inventory. I'll explain why I think this towards the end.
2. Farming is key
We all hate it, but WoW is one of the best "drop" systems I have sen. They reward a farmers. Now, if you can "farm" a mob that is a quest mob, great, but, quest mobs typically are more stingy.
3. Focus
Focus on a specific mob. Don't go way above your head either, you want to make sure that the mob "cons" yellow or less. The best ones to kill are the ones right before it turns green to you. (If you are level 40, and the mob is 40. It will be yellow until you hit 42/43, then it should hit green.) Once they go green they are more prone to drop green items, but, not quite as good as when they were yellow to you.
4. Signs
Watch for the signs. Typically I find that a mob will drop token items, ie. Grey stuff, at higher levels it ain't so bad cause most of it is worth 1-2g. Anyways, look for that, it is a place holder for an actual item.
5. Suprise Mobs
Sometimes, if you are in the right area, kill enough, or walk into a fresh area that hasnt been occupied for a while, you will find Silver Elite Mobs. These mobs havs a "high" Percent chance to drop UBER stuff. They lack armor, so they are easy to kill. FOr example I killed a level 61 elite silver, and it dropped some of the best gear I have ever seen. I solo'd it @ 58.. Never the less, ALWAYS highlight mobs around you, you could be standing right next to one, adn you wouldnt know it.
6. Areas
If it looks like there is no reason to be there, and the mobs are highly populated; it means the dev's left a suprise there... something like caves. Caves can eb a beautiful thing, not highly farmed, and not alot of opposing faction. There is no reason to be there other then the fact something nice wil be there.
7. Collect your booty
Never get too greedy, once you get 3-4 green drops, run to the AH. When you post them always add a gold suggested price. You would be suprised on how many people dont want to loose a bet, and will pay the extra 1g for the item.
8. Stay out of instances
First off, you never have to split anything if you are solo. Instances have some nice drops, but you will only get a 1/5 chance, and if you are tossing some dice, its all based on luck.
10. My Ideology
These games work off of a numbers game. Think of it as a lock with tumblers. It's how you dont get 100 of the same item 100% of the time. If your at the right place, at the right time, killing the right mob you have a chance to turn the tumbler. Now, killing the same mob hits that "multiplyer" and turns that tumbler much more in your favor.
*11. Rogues only!
I belive they gave us a chance to be the richest players in the game. I would tell you get some rogues together with a maxed out deception? (Higest stealth) and hit the instances. Kill the mains several times over. You'll find it is the EASIEST way to make money andget items that you want.
Hopefully this helps... Gl!
