[Tips/Old News?] Pre 60 Exp/Farm spot

So my dudes are doing the Tirion Fordring quests in EPL (The carrion grubbage collection one was a pain but worth it), and I'm onto the next part where I gotta go get his hammer at the Undercroft.

There's a clickable grave mount behind the mausoleum there, click it and a dwarven grave robbing team pops on top of you, seems they were there 1st and have him hammer.

Mercutio Filthgorger & his merry band of 3 or 4 Crypt Robbers are very easily AoEd to crispy bits.

Well, the named gives me his hammer np, and I find the robbers drop a tidy 12-18s each, thats terrific for a pre-TBC non elite, right? As well as a few Runecloth a piece. I turn around and the grave clicky is still sparkling. So I open it again, voila, the dwarves attack again. Same loots (no quest drop tho this time obviously). I try again, voila!

So, here I am, out back of Undercroft, with a clickable, seemingly endless supply of AoE fodder dropping Runecloth and assmazing silver cash drops. It seems to be about a 30sec timer, which is enough time to click, kill, loot, and reset. If I am faster theres dozens of undead trolls to round up and rain some pain down on.

I am certain you need to be on this quest to click it, because my Priest is not on the quest and cant see a sparkly grave.

That's all really. I might do my whole of level 55 here this afternoon. I'll start now with a fresh Drops Report to see how much cash/cloth I swindle.

Class specific quest: Mages only
Location : Dustwallow Marsh
NPC : Tabetha
Quest Level Requirement : 35

Copy and Paste from WoWHead
"Always hear about Mage AoEing is the best thing since sliced bread? Never been able to REALLY do it? Now you can! Go to the Dustwallow Marsh to receive this quest, Mana Surges, but be aware you would have to complete the quest to go to Uldaman before you can gain access to Mana Surges. This is a really nifty trick that I have never heard anybody talk about. I just happened to find this out on my own and startd to use it on my mage. With this nifty trick you can gain up to 55,000 xp/hr at level 40-45 easily, and yes, solo. Here's what you do:

1.) Make hundreds of food/drinks.

2.) Accept Mana Surges quest.

3.) Walk outside near the two torches and buff up. (Mage Armor, Dampen Magic, Arcane Intellect, Mana Shield)

3.) DELETE THE QUEST! (This is the most important part.)

4.) The mobs spawn, 2 sets of 2's, 2 sets of 3's, 2 sets of 4's, all the way up to 2 sets of 5's. The mobs will spawn 1-5 seconds after they die. So AS SOON as the mobs die, run away and start resting up for the next set of AoEs.

5.) Your able to AoE these mobs and get as much XP as you possible can, for 10 minutes, then the mobs despawn. After this, go back to step number 2.

Repeat all of the above steps to get some of the best xp in the game."

First time I did that quest I summoned the dwarves a second time by accident and got killed. Didn't cross my mind to use it for leveling, hmmmm.

getting 22 silver from the robbers now, commonly. Again, for non-elite, lvl 55-57 mobs you can summon every 30 seconds this is ridiculous, no? ROFL.

Super non-scientific here, but I started 20 mins ago counting:

10g 11s
3 Greens
5 Greys(swords etc, like 1g 79s sells)
(EDIT) 64 Runecloth also


I cant recall ever having a 40g/hr leveling spot when I first began playing. I hope this isn't considered 'exploiting' this quest or anything.

Sorry, I know I'm spamming, just kinda pumped I found this spot for some mindless grinding. I'm watching the 1st season of Heroes now and kickin ass/collectin lewtz lol

Just got Gryphonwing Longbow as well huzzah!

K, so again, the very unscientific report for 1 hour of farming this clickable grave mound is:

approximately 35-40g in silver and sellable greys
1 blue Rare
11 Greens for DE'ing
Easily 100+ Runecloth (had to Bolt them as we went along, too much bag space)
about 25% of my level 55

So, if you've got this quest, or have yet to get this quest and are looking for an ok spot there ya go ~

I myself am going to hang on to this one for my 50s I think. It's just too easy to not do.

How much exp are you getting per kill and at what level?

nice! i just hit 52 and i know where i'm goin lol

Level 55s

hmm, it was regular full group non-elite exp. Whats that, like 81xp per, with some group bonus? I dunno, I rarely look at my 'per mob' to be honest, I usually only pay attention to how fast my bar is moving in relation to time/density of baddies.

Like I said, mob supply is as fast or slow as you want it, they are 'summoned' by clicking the dirt mound. I did about 25% of level 55 in an hour, AoEing. Haven't been in an instance since about 48ish though, so tbh I could be wasting my time, I really don't know. All I know is I barely have to watch the screen with this camp. And the cash/cloth is rolling in faster than I can loot it. Only issue is finding the closest alliance vendor to undercroft.

EDIT - I'm sure finding more mid 50s quests would be quicker, but again this is aces for money/effort. I would love to be able to have a good chunk of epic mount $ by 60.
