For Rugged Leather

A Couple Options

If you're not 85, Blasted Lands

If you're a decently geared 85 with AOE capabilities, Dire Maul North is great. Clear the first pit and up to the left, and run out and repeat. Loads.

Ridiculous Money Maker

Fortune Cookies. They cost almost nothing to make, except you have to have Cooking and Incription up to 525. Just make Mysterious Fortune Cards (which take 1 blackfallow ink each) and cook fortune cookies (1 card each). Sell that for a huge profit. I also seem to be the only one on the server selling them too. Weird.

For Thick Leather

Go To New Kargath in Badlands and go right outside. Almost never ending spawn of whelplings that all drop it, with some rugged leather in between.

Mithril Ore

Is so plentiful, yet no one gets bothers to go get it. Consequently, it stands to make loads of money from it.

Motes/ Primals

Layout:
(Zone) NPC name - Coordinates - % drop rate - link to page at Wohead

Mote of Air:
(Nagrand) Storming Wind-Ripper - 69.21 (Throne of Elements) - 33.9% - http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=22310

Mote of Fire:
(Nagrand) Raging Fire-Soul - 69.21 (Throne of Elements) - 34.1 - http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=22311

Mote of Water:
(Terokkar Forest) Crashing Wave-Spirit - 63.17 (North-Western Throne of Elements) - 33.7 - http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=22309

Mote of Earth:
(Blade's Edge Mountains) Sundered Rumbler - (Basically above and all below Area 52) - 18.8 - http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=18881

Mote of Mana:
(Netherstorm) Mana Wraith - 36.60 and 31.73 (Anywhere above Area 52 and more below. While you're at it, kill the Nether Rays as well, they have just as good of a chance to drop and are mostly in the same area) - 25.8 - http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=18864

Mote of Life:
(Zangarmarsh) I didn't find any specific place to farm for these because the zone is just rich with them. But I would suggest farming the Bogg/ Starving Bogg Lords and Fungal /Starving Fungal Giants because they are all very close. - The Spawning Glen (SW Zangarmarsh) and East of there is the Quagg Ridge - Very similar drop rates on all 4 mobs that I pointed out, 18.2 to 18.8 - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22575#00Rmz

Mote of Shadow:
By far the most commonly found mote. This is dropped in almost every zone and can be easily farmed anywhere. But there may be a few exceptional areas just because npcs that drop them are close together, non-elite, and easy to kill. Here's one spot in a few that are exceptional:
(Nagrand) Voidspawn - Again, no specific coords, but all around Oshu'Gun, the bigass crystal SW Nagrand. - 18.4 - http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=17981

Eternals

Crystallized Air - Tempest Reverent, Wintergrasp
Crystallized Earth - Earthbound Reverent, Wintergrasp
Crystallized Water - Water Reverent, Wintergrasp
Crystallized Life- Mature Lasher, Wintergrasp
Crystallized Fire - Flame Reverent, Wintergrasp
Crystallized Shadow- Shadow Reverent,Wintergrasp

For Rugged Leather

Go to Razorthorn Shelf in Outland. The little guys give you one or two every time.

For Fel Iron

Hellfire Pennisula is great. Do laps around the zone, hugging the mountains. There's a lot.

This is made a lot easier at 4:30am, as there are no farmers.

Adamentite incoming soon.

Get Gatherer if you haven't already. Helps a ton.

For Tin Ore

Alterac Ruins in Hilsbrad is the place to go!

For Greater Eternal Essence

Either runecloth headbands, enchant shield- greater stamina or grinding ST, BRD or BRS.

For Copper

I have found that Durotar is best for copper. There is a great deal just in the canyon around Razor Hill.

For Runecloth

Hellfire Ramparts is probably the best place to get this. Blood Furnace may be good, I haven't checked yet.

For Silk Cloth

Scarlet Monastery is a great place to farm it from. Especially at level 85. 160 pieces of silk cloth from a whole clearing.

Seriously

Obsidion Mining is the best here in Silver Tide Hollow. And I love Vashj'ir.

Jewelcrafting/ Enchanting

So, if you wanna get Nether Essences, disenchant Ruby Pendant of Fire and Red Ring of Destruction. They are easily crafted by a JCer. If you mine, go to Silithus and farm Thorium.

For Vision Dust, disenchant Aquamarine Pendant of the Warrior. This is made by JCer as well. To make that, go to Badlands and Burning Steppes and mine Mithril. That prospects into Aquamarine.

Patch 4.0.6

In Case You Have Not Heard

Professions are the shit

Mining

If you want Mithril, go to Badlands, Burning Steppes. If you want Thorium, go to silithus

Zombie Attack!

This is probably old news to everyone, but an in-game event started two days ago. Zombies invaded the world of Azeroth. Suspicious crates showed up in Booty Bay and if one were to loot them, they would get a de-buff that, if not cured by someone in 10 minutes, you die and become a zombie. As a zombie, you get special zombie powers. One is where you explode and it does an AoE spell and everyone around you gets the debuff.This might sound really cool, but I don't really like it. I don't want to be having to fight off zombies as I try and run around and do quests. It's not really hard for Akoris to dodge them, as he has a flying mount and all, but someone like Mordenial, its not going to happen. He'll just die.

So, Akoris finally got off his ass and finished Magister's Terrace. How come whenever I go in there, it turns into such a disater? People leave, its too hard, blah balh blah. We had the tank and a DPS leave when we got to Kael'Thas. I was able to round up two guildies, Eldwor and Volan, to come help me out.

I really love this guild. We were a serious raiding guild, but everyone is friends here. There really isn't any drama. And I can almost always recruit people to go and do random shit with me. We had 4 or 5 people come with me on a PuG Magtheridon run. I lead that fucking run. No one there knew the fight very well and so I ran it. I had been there once before, ironically on a pug, and so I sorta knew the fight and therefore, I was the one explaining what was going to happen, fielding questions and calling out for the clickers to click. After we got everything sorted out, the run went well. I forgot that if the ceiling collapses, it doesn't reset the box timers, so on a run, the ceiling collapsed, not a lot of people died, but we were all scattered so much that we couldn't click the boxes in time and there was a wipe. But, in the next attempt, we minded the timers, and it so happened, we got him through 32% with like 45 seconds left, so we DPSd through it. Fun was had. I almost got a 20 slot bag. I rolled a 99/100 on it and I convinced that I had it. Nope. It was ninjad by a 100/100 roll. Complete and utter bull shit. I was so angry.

I went into Zul Aman two days ago. I really enjoyed it. Our group was way OP and so we raced through all the bosses and killed everything very efficiently. I healed the most, as usual. We got stopped by the Hex Lord, which bummed me out a little. I wanted a full clear on my first time through. But, I'll put a group together again and really fuck the shit out of that place. Lols and ggs will be had.

So, I have been telling my self that I should level Mordenial. But, I can't get myself to do it. I need to get his herbalism up to a level that matches the zone. Dustwallow Marsh is a high level zone, so I need to run around and pick a shit load of herbs to get it up to that high. Doing that is a major buzz kill, but I'm sure that I will regret not having done it. Going back as a 70 to all these low level zones will be even worse. Wow. I started off this post not knowing what to say.
