About Me, Routes Download, and Giveaway Information Part 2

Things That Could Change Your Outcome From My Routes
Are there a lot of people playing at the time you are farming?
Is there a world quest up in parts of my routes?
Is what you are farming in high demand?
Are you playing on a high populated server?
Are you using Stonehide Leather Bardings, Leystone Hoofplates, Demonsteel Stirrups, Darkmoon Firewater, Sky Golem, and or Herbalism/ mining glove enchant?
Is anyone else following or closely following the route you choose?

     So please, keep these in mind before leaving remarks such as clickbait, and any other non-helpful/ slander that could devalue the video. If I don't see that it is fit to be on my channel your comment will be removed. I have had to remove two comments (not bad in my opinion) because they weren't constructive criticism, positive feedback or questions.

     One was over the music I choose, the other was about clickbait in a highly used route, meaning the author of the comment didn't take the time to take any of the following points into consideration which is one of the reasons I'm typing this post. Most of those points are common sense, I don't have time for lazy comments and ignorance.

How Will I Do Updates for my Routes File? 
     For now, I believe I will update it either every week/ every other week until I get done with most of the routes for legion content. The reason why I say most is because more than likely once I move on to other expansions I will still continue to find routes for legion. Again, I'm not like most other farmers, I don't specialize necessarily in making gold, but in farming materials.

Here is the file Download: Opachii's Custom Routes 9/29/16 *Update 1*

When I do Update the file, I will change the date at the end when I update it so it's easier to keep track of when there were changes.

What Is My Goal? 
Truth is, I'm not in this for the fame or money. I will admit the money is a perk but not my intention for doing this. Honestly I wasn't expecting to get the kind of attention I am now. My end game plan was to help others find good/decent locations to farm materials/gold. My side goal was if I managed to get lucky, than I would try and pursue my writing in hopes to have build a small community for that, and even help share other new farmers youtube channels/ friends channels.

My stories, though not the greatest, can be read at: Lorekeepers Inn. I'm however not the only author on the blog. A great author "Eric Westfall" has choosen to write and share some of his stories for this blog too. He has been mentoring me a little with my writing, which I have grown from. Both of our books are linked somewhere in the blog, but if some how you find mine. Don't waste your money on it -.-... I'm redoing it once I finish my script on a seprate plot.
Thumbnail Help Wanted
Just as the title states. I need help with my thumbnails. Rather I get guided/ feedback on what would work and to get ideas what would help. If you want to just create it and share it with me to see what I think that works too. I'm looking along the lines of what I have only better, and with all legion herbs, ores, cloth, and leather in it. Possibly a way I can have my route faded in the thumbnail and even an empty inventory space in the middle so I have spotlight what I'm farming.

I will be straight up. I have no clue how to edit videos or photoshop. I'm still using Movie Maker for my videos and Paint to "photoshop". That being said if I did my own thumb nail it may take a bit longer than what the majority could make.

Giveaway Update
As of right now, I probably wont be doing giveaways. Maybe in the near future when I have more time. I am still trying to find medicine that helps with my anxiety. The medicine I was recently put on makes my really tired and I'm mostly up long enough to find a location, record, edit, upload, and then I'm back to sleep until I have to go to work.

About Me Part 2
Why Don't I talk in my Videos?
I have severe Anxiety. It's mostly OCD/ unwanted thoughts to the point medicine really doesn't help much with the intrusive thoughts, but it helps with the manic depression and suicidal thoughts.

I'm also generally a quite person. I'm always in my head because I'm a writer so I'm just more of a listener than a talker.

Because my mind races, I can't keep a straight thought, so I would be talking about multiple different things at once, and it would just be harder to follow rather than me using music and the recordings.

How long have I been farming?
This is actually kind of humorous. I remember starting the trail, my older brother introduced me to the game and we both played trail character; back when you only had 2 weeks, and instead of enjoying the 20 levels Blizzard granted us I stayed in Lor'Danel farming hydras I believe it was., skinning them and just vendored the leather/ grays. I don't remember if there was a gold cap for trail account back then, if not I'm assuming I had a good few hundred gold. 

When I actually got around to buying the game, it was probably a good 3-4 years later, I switch over to the horde because I wanted to play as a Blood Elf. I got to around 45 or a few levels lower, went to Un'Goro Crater and just started farming Thorium. I had around 6k just from farming Thorium, didn't even care about leveling anymore.

Being a farmer now, for about 8 or so years, I still enjoy it very much so. Though I'm not the richest player in the game, I know many different and use many different means of making gold. Enough that I make it a point to have all the professions in a specific, organized manner. Professions that use ores are on 1 character, herb professions on 1 character, tailoring and enchanting on one character, skinning, leatherworking on a character, mining/ jewelcrafting. I know that may be common, but amongst YouTubers I haven't seen it like that.

What do I do with my gold?
Most of the time I give it away/ buy close friends mounts and pets.

I also often waste a lot of it trying to find new ways to make gold, rather I lose it or not I don't really care, I just enjoy making gold though I will admit most of the time I lose rather then profit.

What is my most memorable means of farming?

My most memorable farming location in the game, I have 2, both in Deepholm as well. One would be the bats/ skinning location, I remember sitting there for hours with only stacks of 20 at the time filling up my bags

The other is the old Embersilk farming location, I think it use to yield around 2k cloth per hour and it took Blizzard forever to nerf it.

What sets me aside from most other gold farming YouTubers? 

Well, from what I have seen is most other YouTubers often resort to looking up guides, rarely do they find them on their own (most of the ones I watch give credits to the actually founder). Me, on the other hand, spend most of my time looking for locations.

I do plan on going over a lot of "my" locations others might have found it before me so if that is the case let me know and will credit or link their videos in the description. I will try my best not to rip other youtubers off like they have me... When I put up a play to farm netherweave cloth, other youtubers started recording the same place, same with knothide leather. Don't be those kind of Youtubers give credit. It doesn't matter about the location as much as it does content, meaning hundreds of people can record the same location and credit others, but only a handful may get lots of views. Also, people love seeing results from just more than 1 YouTuber. It doesn't even take much to write in the dicription who you found the location from.

My Posting Schedule 
I'm currently unsure what it will be like in the future. As of right now, I am trying to get a post up every day. Once I see more attention, I may do more a day as I have hundreds of locations.


Routes

Changes

As I am getting more traffic, I plan on making changes to the blog. More than like I will create separate blogs for videos and routes. I would keep them all on this one but with me being OCD it bothers me to not have the "home" page organized, even with creating pages for certain topics.
