Best Grinding Spots

Best Grinding Spots in World of Warcraft

Go here for the original of this guide and other WoW guides. I only copied this one here cause I don't like the formatting from the first site and can add some value by linking the locations, mobs, etc.

I'll also try to go there myself to see what all the fuss is about and I'll give them marks. After knowing some of these areas myself, I think the money figures are grossly inflated.

Check back for updates.

Skinners: thick leather and turtle scales Gold per hour, not sure but full load ~6 gold at vendor. Leather+scales for AH or making armour, maybe 3 greens and few pearls. Level range: 45-50. Estimated money pr. hour: +8g

Location: Dire Maul.. Description: Elite Orgres. Drops: Outside the DM instance are a lot of elite ogres, dropping good money, runecloth, greens, blues, greys,… which all vendor really good or sell really good on AH. Try getting some waters from a mage first, though, since you need your mana. Those mobs are not very hard when you are level 60, but they are still elites. Level range: 55-58 elites. Estimated money pr. hour: +20g

Wetlands:

---

Location: Wetlands, Description: Farm the whelps there, great if your a skinner and its doable at low lvls. Drops: Besides the usual vendortrash, there’s a possibility of a red whelp pet drop, that sells for +/- 40g and skin for leather. Level range: 20 Estimated money pr. hour: ??

Stormwind

---

Location: Stockades Description: the instance you do in a 5 man group in Stormwind city Drops: Vendor trach, some green, money, and a lots of wool cloth Level range: 23-30 (elite) i think so no XP tho Estimated money pr. hour: 5-10g a runn

Sidenote: Bring som food for you and your pet and mana drinks, empty your bag and use your tanking pet.

Have don this 4-5 times now and stil only 1 time my pet died.

Scarlet Monestary - Undercity: Scarlet Monastery - all If you aren't an enchater don't go there as you will earn only 1/10 of the money that you can get with your enchating skill.

You can do whole SM within an hour and get 50-100g(depends of drops, AH prizes and if your stuff buys well). I had 300g in 6-7 hours of farming.

You must do all the bosses even cathedral which will take about 30 mins to clear. If you want you can skip the Commander and do only the undead.

Graveyard: In the torture room there is a chest which is often open. Don't take it when you come. Go and kill the undead boss first. For this run in the crypt and avoid aggroing mobs outside. When you enter the crypt you will aggro some undeads so FD in the boss room. Send your pet and start nuking the boss. He drops shoulders which are dissed and sometimes a blue orb (BoP) which is dissed too. He can also drop a blue mace that you can sell for 5-10g or more depending on your server. There are sometimes rare bosses in graveyard but I'm not sure if they exist cuz I never saw them. On your way back to the exit send your pet to the group near the chest (make sure it's not locked) and open it. Get out and the graveyard is done. *This is done in less than 5 mins*

Armory: You only kill Herod in there and eventualy get a chest if it isn't locked. In the armory you will have to use only once FD if all goes well. Before you enter the yard there are 2 guards that you aggro so when you pass them its good to FD. When you enter the armory there are patrolng mages that you must avoid. Stick to the walls and walk between the groups. In the corridor with Herod's door you don't need to kill anything. Just open the door and enter. To fight Herod put a imollation trap, mark him put AotH and trueshot aura if you have one. If you are a BM hunter this fight won't be hard but for other specs this can be hard and your pet have chances to die. Let your pet get some aggro, then start with aimed and nuke him. Kite him using the stairs and FD when you start getting too much dmg. Repeat this until he's dead. Loot him quickly and put and explosive trap. If you're a NE hunter shadowmelt and out your pet to stealth if you don't have enough mana. After the students are dead from the explosion loot them and get out. *This is done in less than 5 mins*

Library: You'll have to use much FD and some frost trap. I can't tell you the exact location to use FD but you will find them. Just keep in mind not to aggro to much guys on you and then having a resist on your FD. There are several chests in library check if they aren't locked before you go to open them. When you get to the final room before Doan kill the 2 monks guarding the entrace. When you kill them go to Doan. He's is easy and you resist almost all of his spell except maybe the blast wave he casts. He drops Staff and Shoulders or Robe + Dagger which are both dissed. On the way out get the chest you can. You can also try Loksey and his dogs. But if you aren't a Beast Master your pet has a big chances to die which will lead to your death. *This part should take you around 10 mins*

Cathedral: The part isn't impossible but it takes some time. You will have to clear everything before going to the boss. Remember to slow the mobs when they start running away or they can drag adds. Be aware of abbots which heal too many times. Interupt them when they start (imp concusive, scatter ot intimidation). Also try to freeze Centurions which hit hard and have high armor. When you clear all kill the undead guy. For the Commander lay an imo trap and send your pet. Let it get some aggro then start shooting the guy. Don't waist your mana or special abilities agianst him for the moment. If he gets on you use FD. When he dies his gf will come to rez him. When you get her to +/- 50% she will put you to sleep and rez him. When the Commander is rezzed he will heal her to full health. Send your pet on the commander and use BW if you are a beast master. When you finish the Commander focus on Whitemane. If all goes well your pet will be alive and you too:) Loot them both and dis the items.

You will also get some greenies which are BoE. Decide if you want to put them on AH, sell them to vendors or dis them. Remember that you don't need to deposit money for enchating stuff so put them on a 24h duration. You will get 3-6 gold from killing the guys and much more from the shards, essences and dusts. Put them on low prices to make sure they are bought:)

Thinks that might help you: Shadowmelt: while you wait for the FD (NE hunter) Holy protection potions: For the holy dmg Cat as pet: The prowl ability is really usefull Mage: For food and water. (be nice to him when you ask) Mark of Resolution: Trinket which absorb dmg.

Also empty your bags and put what you can in the bank and get your Scarlet key. In few days you'll have enough money for what you want:)

Start out by trying the lvl 53-55 elite dragons to test if you like it, and see how easy it is. Once you get the hang of it, go for the higher lvl for more fun and thrill. there are 58+ dragonkin and drakes great for a hunter..

Stuff to bring: 60 mage water 40 mage bread 3 part giantstalker

You will need to heal your pet a lot as they hit hard, but if you have a nice trusty friend, you should easily be able to take 1-3 dragons down before a little down time drinking. Also bring a good deal of food and plenty of space in you bags and be a skinner, and you're off to killing mobs worth .50 - 2g per kill. Easy to get 40-60g per hour dependant on gear. Use your fd often to go all out on the dragon, but keep aggro to your pet. Don't worry too much about pvp, if they're not total @$%!@%&s they will rather help you when they see you fight an elite mofo. :D

some info about

Area: (Feralas,contested) Location: (Grimtotem Camp) Level zone: (43-47 dragonkins, and grimtotems) Specal Drops: (Aquamarines,skinn dragons,) Gold per hour: (2-3g/h) Note: merely a place to lvl up fast, extremely fast. Both grimtotems (naturalists) and dragonkins have very low health

the Dragonkins casts Manaburn when on 50% hp witch is alittlebit annoying since if u fd, the moment u move they will start to cast it again. so easiest thing.. just let em burn u, or kill em within 2 sec after they are at 50% *pray for some crits* :P

they come in 3 sizes.. 43-44 and 45. they are easy to bring down. and they dont do that much dmg to ur pet, so ur able to keep a steady run with little downtime on healing pet..

the Grimtotem's however might be alittle annoying. since the shams and nature grim's heals themself. and if ur lucky.. they will heal and run. and aggro the entire camp.. witch costs time. if u cant bring em down. or run.. since some of them cast "net"..

all in all. a good place to grind. best for skinners

Centaur camp Eastern thousand needles, 25-28 1-2g per hour (LOTS of silk cloth)

Area: Contested Location: Southern Badlands - Rock Elementals (cant remember exact name) Level zone: 38+ with good equip but id recommend 40 before rly grinding. Specal Drops: Lots of rocks etc… SELL THEM :D Gold per hour: 5-15 depending heavily on if they drop well, sell the rocks :P Note: IF you look carefully they spawn in a loop area, and by the time you reach the start again they have repsawned. Carefull with multiple agros tho.

Silithus NorthWest - Farm Dust Stormers for Essence of Air! they spawn faster than you can kill them in this particular area.

whats important to know is that the DROPRATE WILL DECREASE much after you kill the same mob (mob spawnlocation) more than around 8 times, no worries since there are about 25 spawns in this little area. bring a pot that lasts for one hour with a good stat for your class, you want to bring down as many as possible in the hour. 100 is obtainable, and you should also be getting 4-8essence of air of those. and since 1 essence sells for over 10gold, this can be very rewarding. green/blue/epic drops too.

what ive found is that the dust stormers is vulnarable to fire, use fire if you can. mobs have around 4k life and no armor.

this is how to grind them fastest as a hunter: drink greater agilitypotion / mongoose pet on agressive aspect of the wild mark immolationtrap aimedshot melee (use raptor/mongoose only if health is decreasing faster than mana)

this way your mana and health will decrease together so you wont need to stop to fill only mana, or only health. post edited by Irritable
