Mob Grinding - High respawn rates.

[EaTCarbS]

Just wondering if anyone has found any sweet spots to grind on mobs for lots of xp or loot. The only current one ive found is the Wheeping Horrors outside of Zhu's watch. Not much for loot, but they respawn faster than i can kill them 10 boxing. My group size may influence that, idk. Anyone else willing to share their sweet grinding spots?

Water elementals in temple of the jade serpent. Need the quest to get in though.

Definitely worth doing the quest line. Best I have gotten is 11.9mil xp/hr with full rested and the 8% buff from the WoW anniversary 5 boxing.

[Sam DeathWalker]

11.9 for each of your 5 or 11.9mill total for all 5 put together?

Is it easy to use your vendor mount while doing this?

Is it easy to use your vendor mount while doing this? For my spot it shouldn't be too hard. You'll just have to back off because the mobs are constantly spawning.

11.9mil each toon over a 2 hour period. That is at level 89 as well, with the mobs being level 85, so there is definitely room for more.

First I went to Forman Mann and neither my level 90 or 86 could get a quest from her.

Then I figure I have to start with this:

http://www.wowpedia.org/Quest:All_We_Can_Spare


which starts with this:

http://www.wowpedia.org/Quest:Welcome_to_Dawn's_Blossom


But, although others can see Toya he is not present to my level 90 pal, some lower level pointed right at him after I paid him 50 gold and the npc is just not visible to my guy ....

At which point I say; well now I see why I dont quest ........

[shadewalker]

I'm pretty sure you have to follow the entire Jade Forest questline / storyline to get there.

Is there a point where, if you complete a quest you can no longer get into the phased area?
Or it is just a quest to open the area up, and once done you can access it as often as you like?

According to this thread:
http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/48362-Jade-Temple-Elemental-Farming

if you turn in a quest you won't be able to access it anymore...


Feel free to do all the quests there - set off fireworks, collect the little dragons, kill the bookworms, etc. Go to the water elemental guy, loot the staff, even turn the quest into him and it won't end it. It only ends when you turn in the final quest (from the water guy) to the panda at the quest hub in the temple. I dropped that quest so I wouldn't turn it in accidentally.

Yep you are correct

[blast3r]

There is one raid that has two mobs that respawn every couple of seconds (if you bypass a certain boss) in Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj. People farm the glorious gear from them. Glorious gear is the most expensive xmog gear in the game selling for about 11k gold each item.

speaking of that section... now that old raids can now be done without a raid group... could something like that be a ultra-fast RAF boosting spot? I mean you have the raid mobs without the raid penalty, and infinite respawn. Think I may try it,

[blast3r]

That might actually work. Get ready to wear your fingers out. They spawn so fast you need to take a break to let your hands recover.

[crowdx]

Are you thinking of summoning a bunch of RAF characters and killing with a level 90? Or coming to that spot when RAF characters are at around 60?

I'm not familiar with that raid, but I'm going to head there with a lvl ~60 RAF team and a booster. can you shed some light on which mobs keep respawning and which boss to bypass? thanks!

I've decided to farm parts of this set and thus I started with the chestpiece. I recommend the tips given earlier to go into AQ20 and keep killing Qiraji Gladiators guarding the gate to Moam's room without engaging the second boss General Rajaxx. Their instant spawning allow effective farming so make sure you got loads of bagspace.

Like with all farming, it's about patience or luck. I got the Glorious Breastplate of the Bear after 40 min killing those Gladiators with my enh shaman.

Now I'm off to keep farming Alcaz Island and Rabid Shardtooth bears in Winterspring for other pieces which is far more tedious...

EDIT: I had another chestpiece Glorious Breastplate of the Monkey drop from one of the Strashaz nagas. It's hard to say how many clears, I've been grinding the island for five days, spending roughly 1-2 hours per day there. Still no sign of other Glorious pieces though.

Do you have coords of where you stand? I tried this but they weren't spawning fast enough and I hope I was just in the wrong place.

Has anyone discovered a nice safe instanced area to replace the jade temple? I'm really sick of being on a pvp server at this point and my team has ground to a halt at 87 1/3

They are literally right outside the settlement.

[Sam DeathWalker]

And there is a 2nd spot, smaller, accross the road.

[crowdx]

speaking of that section... now that old raids can now be done without a raid group... could something like that be a ultra-fast RAF boosting spot? I mean you have the raid mobs without the raid penalty, and infinite respawn. Think I may try it,

So I went here with an RAF team, the minimum to enter is level 50 so I went directly from BRD. Experience is a little slow here unless you do clears of the mobs. Also VERY easy to get the lowbie's killed due to their low level.

To get the two respawning mobs after the bypassed boss you have to not engage the room at all. The first time I engaged the room and the mobs pull group by group and then finally the boss pulls, I had to die to disengage the boss and then he promptly killed the rest of the team.

So I am wondering, if I reset the Raid instance is it only the boss that I am instanced locked to or will the mobs I cleared also be locked and not respawn until the lockout expires?

UPDATE: I timed from level 52 - 53 and it took 12 minutes grinding on these two mobs. So not a bad time really.

[Sam DeathWalker]

Im horde, the "lion landing" I think its called in east Kas wilds (south of Zhu) where the head of stormwind lands here:

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=68490

Although they dont spawn instantly (the root something druids are kind of instant spawn though) there is a ton of them (at least 40 probably more) and I am sure by the time you kill them all some more will spawn. Only 4K exp each though (less then zhu mobs) and more HP then the Zhu mobs but ... also there are a lot of other ally mobs there that give exp (as much as 12K) IF THEY HAVE NOT STARTED FIGHTING with the horde mobs. It seems once the horde mobs tag them they dont give exp. 12K and 4K are each for a 5 man group with rested.

[luxlunae]

Hmm at 87/88 Lions landing (I'm alliance) seems to be phased... I'm going to keep poking around though.

[Sam DeathWalker]

My level 88 guys can see everything there as far as normal mobs go, you have to do the quests to see more i think. You would probably have to go to the horde landing area way on the other side (far west) of KW to find a lot of horde mobs to kill.

Anyway the Rootshapers are instant spawns if you can kill all 4 fast enough, I am standing in the center and loading them up with 17 mage bombs. More fun then the Zhu mobs but I think overall the Zhu mobs are better exp.

[luxlunae]

For Alliance:

12, 66 in Krasarang Wilds provides waves of mobs that can be farmed for about 6 million an hour (rested) but they do not drop anything.

[Sam DeathWalker]

Ya the Zhu mobs drop some motes at least, these mobs drop nothing.

[Starbuck_Jones]

Those two insta spawn mobs in AQ20 are pretty insane. I went from 54 to 62 in about 3 hours with non RAF with my new paladin group. Now I'm in the classic deepholm spots. You get flying at 60 and the lowbies can fly around deepholm. Gonna pretty much skip Burning Crusade, Wrath and Cat by grinding there. I used the summoning stone to get my slaves there.
