Starter edition accounts are the free trial accounts you can use to play Warcraft without spending any money. Because you can in theory have unlimited characters on starter edition accounts I am constantly trying to find ways around the severe limitations placed on them to do useful things, for example this post (  https://www.patreon.com/posts/32888737 )

Here's another  lucrative method I recently discovered, it works like this:


Starter Edition Scouting Method

1. Create starter edition account/s and character/s. (You may need to level the character/s depending on what you want to farm, see 3). 

2. Take starter edition character to the location of a rare mob that can drop some valuable item.

3. Place an alt from your main account  near to the starter edition account and the spawn location of the rare mob.

4. Perform Gold-Making Activity on main account (this can be anything).

5. During any period of downtime check to see if rare mob is up. Alternatively if your gold farming activity has no downtime you can use multiple minimized windows so you don't have to switch between clients.

6. If mob is not up continue gold farming.

7. If mob is up, log off main and onto alt, kill rare mob.

8. Repeat.



This can all be done with multiple starter edition characters.

The key to this trick is that you can monitor a whole range of locations in WoW constantly, using your starter edition characters as scouts.

How would this work in practice? Here's an example:

Say I farm Terrace Of Endless Spring in Pandaria with my main (a mage)-this is a good legacy raid for  raw gold and can be done mostly afk-you actually spend more time waiting around during role-play between bosses than fighting. I have a starter edition account logged on near to the spawn point of Molt Thorn, a rare mob,  in the Swamp Of Sorrows, My warlock was logged off in the Swamp Of Sorrows. 

You get 30 seconds of down time between bosses in Terrace. Every so often I will check the other window with the starter edition wow client to see if Molt Thorn is up. When Molt spawns, I stop farming Terrace, log off my mage main, and log onto my warlock in Swamp Of Sorrows, and kill Molt. 

Molt has a small chance to drop "Living Cowl" an item worth hundreds of thousands of gold.

It is a small chance-but eventually it becomes statistically inevitable that it, or another valuable item like it, will drop from Molt or another rare mob. This adds significantly to your average per hour gold farming profits.

In theory you can scan literally dozens of spawn locations in old Azeroth for rare spawns which drop valuable items. This amounts to free additional gold-there is no time cost with using this technique. 

I have found youtuber Seathrift's channel very good for finding out about rare spawns (and vendors) which drop/sell valuable items:
