Farming the Scarlet Monastery
This guide is geared for a Rogue in PvP gear, recommended level 50. Although it's designed for speed farming, any level 60 can do it, it's simply faster with a Rogue (locked chests also). I've you've chanced to learn Enchanting you can disenchant and it is really worth it.
SM GY
Enter in the GY and head to the first main room. In the upper-left corner of the room you'll find a chest, sometimes locked, sometimes not. Sap one of the four guards guarding it and kill the other 3. Pull them to the chest so you won t get aggro from the patrolling guard. Kill all and loot chest. Proceed to the other hall and up the stairs, when you get in the courtyard there is a chance for a chance to spawn either on the right side or the left. It will be against the wall guarded by 1 guard or 3 spirits (easy kills). If the chest is not there then it's at the bottom of the tomb.
Look for three rare spawns as you make your way to the tomb. Ironspine, Fallen Champion, and Azshir the Sleepless. Although we've never seen all of them up at once, we have seen them all and they are in random spots on the left side of the court yard. They all have decent loot that you can vendor for good cash.
The Bloodmage at the bottom is simple to kill, just go all out dps and he should be down pretty fast. Loot and scoot.
SM Library
The library is pretty simple. You'll find The Houndmaster in the first courtyard. He's pretty easy as a rogue, just kill/loot/vanish. Others will have to clear. He rarely drops a blue though. Proceed into the hall after you kill. (Herbalists take note: There is always a Fadeleaf in the courtyard). The first chest is the last room on the left down the main hall. It's guarded by 3 people and a patrol comes in and out. Wait on the patrol to leave, sap one, kill the rest, then loot. Its pretty simple for 60 s. Continue through the halls until you come to next chest, will either be in the 2nd or 3rd hall from last chest on the left, or in last hall on the right side just before you enter Arcanist Doans room.
Arcanist Doan is real simple, just dps until he bubbles, wait it out and finish him off.
SM Armory
In the courtyard there's usually a Fadeleaf in for you herbalists, and chance on a chest in there also. We've seen the chest be in random spots in courtyard. If chest isn t there it will be in the second part of the room you are about to go in guarded by 2 guards and a patrol. Kill these quick and don t let them run or it can be an add nightmare. After this truck over to Herod unless you wanna stop and get Fireworks on the way.
Herod is pretty simple also, just dps and back off when he spins, and repeat, he isn t a problem. Watch out for the 20 or so trainees after you kill. They are all one shotted and they can, from what we've seen, drop 5 scarlet tabards.
SM Cathedral
We only went in here for the Goldthorn, it is to time consuming to clear everything so we go get the two Goldthorns and get out. Others may wanna clear, but we're into speed farming.
Chest loot is the main goal here, and the following are some of the money making items we have looted:
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3879 GY Chest, sold for 40g on our server
http://www.thottbot.com/?n=250072 GY Chest, sold for 35g on our server
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=7970 Scarlet Monk, gave to a buddy
http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14591 Library Chest, sold for 200g (pretty rare)
These are some of our big finds, not counting little blues that sell for 5-10g on AH and all the DE stuff. You'll get a lot of 12 slot bags from these chests and they go from 1-2g depending on the server.
Another thing for Rogues is to pickpocket as much as you can for heal pots which sell nice. Last thing is SILK, you get a ton of it. We sell ours for 40s a stack and it sells like crazy on the AH.
Good luck!
