Hi All,
I've just finished a new character to 60, a Rogue, and i chose to go through the
game only doing instance quests and the ones at the start to get to lvl 12 or
so, and i grinded every single bit of XP apart from that to reach 60, and in
this process i have found so many great grinding spots and money spots i
couldn't believe it and ended up reaching lvl 60 with 1100g and all my items up
to date, and since these kinda posts have dried up on the site a bit i thought i
would make one. So I'll try and remember all of them that i can, if i forget any
and remember ill post em up later, enjoy.
Money / Xp Grinding Spots ::
Salt Flats - 7 / 10
If you are lvl 30 - 36 you can goto the salt flats, i would recommend a bit
higher then lvl 30 if you want to grind but, because you will have to rest after
every fight and cant grind very efficiently, i went at lvl 32. The Salt flats
have a wide range of beats including Turtles, Basilisks, Vultures and Scorpions.
These mobs are all good for xp, as they are around the lvl range i said before,
but they drop heaps of random bits and pieces, like shells, wings, bones,
scales, claws etc. These parts all stack in lots of 5 or 10, and there are loads
of them down there so you can build up a fair bit quite quickly, and this stuff
really adds up when u go to sell it at a vendor, i had no trouble making up
around 10g after a few hours, and heaps of xp to. 10g might not sound much to
higher lvls but makes mount money a lot faster to get.
Tanaris Turtles - 8 / 10
All along the coastline from a little north of Steemwhindle Port, or however you
spell it, to up near Lost Rigger Cove, there are turtles called Snapjaws, which
range in lvl from 42 - 45 from memory and are a Neutral Mob until you attack
them, which makes grinding them that much easier when there is no aggro to worry
about. These Turtles are great, as well as having great xp, they drop scales,
and shell fragments which sell for a lot, a stack of 5 shell fragments is around
50s, and scales sell for a couple of silver each also i think. On top of this
they drop Big - Mouth Clams, which can contain Black, Iredescent and Small
Lusterous Pearls, which also sell great on AH. I had no trouble making a lot of
money on these guys, just watch out for the opposing faction handing in Quests
at the NPC's around there, i got ganked a few times. But really these guys are
great, if you are around that level give them a try, i made about 50g off them
in the few lvls i was there, i got about 12 Green Items to.
Lost Rigger Cove - 9.9 / 10
What can i say, i absolutely love this place, its incredible to say the least.
This cove is filled with lvl 44 - 46 humanoid pirates, and stacks of them. The
Humanoids drop Silver, Mageweave Cloth, Common Grey Weapons that sell at a
vendor for almost 1g each, Lockboxes and all sorts of Green / Blue and Epic
Items. I grinded lvl 45 - 49 here, even at 49 when the xp was getting low, it
was to good to leave. You get heaps of mageweave, which i sell on AH for 1g Per
Stack, or you can vendor for 50s a stack. They drop lockboxes, the lockboxes
contain random vendor junk, silver and sometimes map fragments, or a key. The
map fragments are for a chest you can find on another beach in tanaris, once you
have all 3 parts, this chest has minimum 3 green items, u can get blue items in
it if your lucky. The Key that may drop, is for a chest in a pirate ship in the
area, which also has a green item and possibly blue. But by far the best part
about this area, there is always 2 Large Solid Chests that spawn around the
area, and out of these chests i got so much stuff, Herbs, Food, Blue and Green
Items, Truesilver, Mithril etc, just a whole lot of random stuff that you can
sell for money. And as soon as you get both of them, about 5 minutes later they
are spawning again somewhere else. Out of these chests, i personally got 21
Green and 3 Blue items during my grinding, not to mention the other stuff in
them. Andre Firebeard, the named captain mob in the area, is for a quest, so
once again just be on the lookout for ppl doing that quest, but i rarely saw a
sole while i was grinding. I Made 600g from this area, I found 2 Epic Items
while i was grinding there, a Perfectly Calibrated Boomstick and a Ring of
Saviours, now this is a random world drop as you know, so there is no saying
they will drop for you, but the amount of mobs you can kill down there in short
time is huge as there are so many of them, and they respawn fairly quickly. The
only reason i won't give this place 10, is because at some of the tents, where
the chests spawn, there are sets of 2 pirates, and they are linked, and this can
be a pain in the arse, cause if your not a rogue and cant sap one, or a mage and
sheep one, then you gotta fight two of em. But they don?t have that much HP so
it really isn't to hard. But i must insist you try this place, it is very, very
good.
Dunemaul Ogres - 8 / 10
These guys are in 3 different area's of tanaris, the Dunemaul Compound and the
East / West Moon Ruins. I must insist if you are going to grind them, go out to
the ruins further north into tanaris, as the main compound it used for questing
frequently and you will have problems. The reason these guys are good is a bit
different to the others. The main advantage of them is that they are really easy
to kill, they range in lvl from 45 - 49 so you can grind them for ages, i did
until lvl 52 or so. The main drops are mageweave, common grey weapons and
silver, i got 2 Blue and about 13 Greens there also though. They drop the cloth
fairly often so you can build it up quite fast, and as i mentioned before you
can make a fair bit of money with it, there is also constantly Purple Lotus
spawning around the ruins for any herbalists that grind there, this stuff is
worth money on AH. Not much else to say about em, they are just good.
I can't be bothered writing anymore ATM, but i will do more for lower level
spot's and higher level ones soon and post a Part 2, there is lots more good
information to come =), remember, this guide is from personal experience, i
can't gaurantee the drops i got for anyone else but i can promise you they
provide good chance and great grinding, enjoy. - Xilli
