AoE Farming in Silithus

A lot of people look at grinding for gold in Wacraft with faulty logic. Everyone is so gaga over Outlands that they never leave, or consider there might be places just as good in Azeroth! Well, they are partially correct. For sheer value of items, level of mobs, etc, Outlands is king. However, there are some great places in Azeroth where a level 70 can grind extremely quickly and efficiently, which makes up for the lower value of the mobs.

Case in point, Twilight Avengers and Twilight Geolords in Silithus. This is a great place, especially for Mages who can AoE grind effectively. Check the links above for the locations of these mobs -- the good thing about them is they are very densely populated, very weak (for a level 70 mage), and are HUMANOID. So, they drop silver, frequently drop cloth, and the traditional greens or maybe world BoE blue. Round them up, knock them down. Runecloth, which is what they drop, still sells very well on my server, and probably yours. (Used mainly for bandages and pre BC recipes). You can grind here safely, and with little fear from being ganked by another level 70 player, so enjoy the change of scenery!

AoE Grinding in Shadowmoon Valley

Whoa, sorry for the long time between posts! The days just got away from me!

Here's a very nice spot for a level 70 mage to AoE grind and make some serious gold! Head to Shadowmoon Valley and go to the Ruins of Karabor. You're looking for Demon Hunter Supplicants, and they won't be hard to find because there are 15 or 20 of them, all close together, all level 70. Don't be alarmed! Blizzard, thankfully, has them training with each other, so they aren't all at full health. Being the sneaky, opportunistic type that we are, we will take advantage of this!

These mobs are mainly melee fighters, so if you're good at kiting with AoE, you'll have dished out some serious damage before they even get to you. I know they are all level 70, but if you know how to AoE properly, you should be alright. One thing to remember is that they respawn very quickly. Yeah, that's pretty great in terms of little downtime, but be careful they don't spawn on you while you loot the huge pile of bodies. Try to pull them a little bit away from where you found them, just to be safe.

Bits of silver from each mob, decent amounts of greens, and lots of Scryer rep items are to be had! Unless another mage is AoE grinding, there's really no reason for anyone to be here other than for doing quests, so competition should be minimal. Get to it!
