GPH: Stratholme - Full Clear

Good ol' Stratholme, infested with zombies and crazy zealots is the godfather of ezgold. It's a fairly large instance, packed with mobs and bosses. You'll be doing more looting than killing, so empty your bags entirely. Take only your heartstone, some reagents and a stack of food and drinks. I cleared this place many times on several characters running for the mount -mostly side entrance farming- , any dps class should be able to clear this in about an hour. These are the loots

Gold: 55 g
Vendor trash: 30 g
430x [Runecloth]: ~  150 g
16 x Blue BOP items: ~ 40 g
8 x Green BOE items:  ~ 30 g
2 x Blue BOE Dungeon Set items:  ~ 100 g
4 x Darkmoon Cards (Portals and Beasts): ~ 150 g
4 x [Righteous Orb]: ~ 200 g
3 x [Essence of Undeath]: ~ 60 g
4 x Misc. gems ( Star Ruby and Aquamarine ) : ~ 50 g
28 x [Ichor of Undeath]: ~ 5 g
65 x [Bone Fragments]: ~ 25 g
70 x [Crypt Fiend Parts]: ~ 50 g
Several mana/health potions: ~ 15 g

I also had one [Pattern: Truefaith Vestments] drop, but this wont drop often; it can be sold for ~50g

Rare Bosses
This run I had the pleasure of killing [Heartsinger Forresten] and [The Unforgiven]. These two I've run into nearly every run; They're both chilling on the Undead side of the city. Forresten can be found under a balcony of a building and drops the coveted [Piccolo of The Flaming Fire] and The Unforgiven is spawned by walking through an alley that you'll most likely pass. They both drop blue boe items.

Disenchanting Value
It's a great plus to be an Enchanter when hitting this place, not only can you DE and save bagspace but the blue bop items shard into Large Brilliant Shards that sells like hot cakes in weight loss camp; folks are using it to level their enchanting and enchant the heirloom items they use for their alts.

16 Blue = 16 x [Large Brilliant Shard]  = 80 g
8 Greens ~ 110 g

For me this was a very lucky run, with several orbs, the dungeon set pieces, the darkmoon cards. They usually don't drop alot and you'll maybe get 1 per run or none at all. My gph for this run was 1080g. But the usual runs yield no more than 900g. Also prices may and will vary per server. For example the orbs sell for 5g on some realms, but for 50g on mine. Same for enchanting mats. They can go from 2g to 20g.

~900 gold per hour or run
