This is best done with
two players...pref a rogue & hunter, but can be soloed by hunters,
priests & really crafty rogues.
Location: Dire Maul -
West (best to use south entrance to the west side).
In every instance made
in all of Dire maul there is a chest spawn & usually a Dusty Tome
spawn. In west, there are four spots that the chest spawns, two
of which can be gotten very quickly & with few
mobs. There are also two Dusty Tome spawn locations (that I know), but
only 1 location is easy to get to....just so happens it is about
3 feet from one of the chest locations.
In each chest there is
a lvl50-55 green, some are pretty good, also some change & 1 in about
every 25-50 chests have a blue BOE usually worth 60-100g. All the
greens dc into Greater eternal essence &
illusion dust, Or you can vendor most items for about 3-5g a piece or
sell on the AH. The Dusty Tomes are where the
real money is though....90% of the tomes will give you
a junk book "nat pagles extreme fishing..." and pocket lint - the rest
of the time you will get one of any of the
blue class books (each sell in AH from 45g-90g) and an equal chance to
get Furor's Compendium of Demonslaying
(Warriors epic book) = anywhere from 1500g to 2400g. I have
found several now and all sold within a few hours on AH for 2000g

Now the strat... You
enter west on south side. The tome & chest spawn location is in the
initial room you come into, before you get to
Shen'dralar Ancient. As you are looking at the room from
the portal, the chest will be across the room on left side (there
is another spawn location on the right side -
but after you do this a while, you will see it is more
profitable to only look for the left
side one).
If you use an Ornate
spyglass you can position yourself on a corner right next to the
instance portal (bout 15ft from it) and look
down to the south west corner with the chest & tome. (for
the first while you will want to run down and make sure nothing
spawns till you know exactly where to look).
If you dont see the chest or tome, run out the instance and reset
it...round trip on an empty instance is about
30seconds or less. IF the chest spawns in that spot(bout 25% of
the instances) there will be 3 to 4 tree creeps guarding it. The
easiest way to get to them is to have a rogue
position behind the chest ready to take it & have another class move up
and agro the three trees then turn & run out
the instance while the rogue loots. Once you get used to it,
you can loot and be back to reset in under 2min.
Hunters can solo this
by using Eyes of the beast & taking the agro to the other side of the
instance, then dismiss their pet, grab the loot & move to a safe
spot to feign death. Screenies for those that
have found this confusing...sorry I did not have them up before....

This is where you
should stand to use spyglass...

Here is what you should
see thru spyglass...approx....was in a hurry to get the screenies so I
did not wait to find chest...but pasted in a spot where you will
see them...

DM West is easy enough
to move around once you learn your agro range and stay close to the
south wall.
I will try to update
this with pics, but I am not that great with photo stuff.
