I usually get asked to leave this spot by someone farming there when I am doing the daily bag drop quest out there :D
Asked to leave? Are you talking about the area under the raised platform? We're talking about the raised area. A single toon would get overrun up there.
UPDATE: i tried to see how big a pull i could get at one time. I started running from one end to another, tagging grouos of three and four mobs. I ran back to my slaves, hit lay on hands, then consecrate, then started dpsing them down one at at time, aoeing periodically to keep them all interested (hellfire, consecrate, holy nova, arcane explosion). The mobs will reset if not killed within a certain time period. I havent timed it but it has happened to me several times when trying to get the biggest group possible just for fun. They eventually evade and reset if you get huge crowds. Even if theyve been damaged.
not if they are a warrior, a descent warlock, or especially if they are a pally. I think I have even been asked to leave by a huntard.
there are a few areas where you can sit and drink without pulling more mobs. also, their spawn rate wouldn't be as high as a boxer's since their kill their time to kill their target is much higher.
since you asked :D
edit: yep, the raised area and not the area below
You can attack on several sides, without disturbing eachother, think 3 multiboxers could easily farm there w/o bother eachother
@katsu
Quite soon after discovering this spot I boosted a lowbie pally alt there. Had a 2 friends there as well, both playing their frostmage (they would loot the mobs for the cloth, i was just interested in the xp). I would tag mobs with my dk or pally using there rocket 2 seater (the raf one), lowbie sitting in the back. Fly over the mobs so you aggro them (not really a prob with lowbie) and kite them to frost mages. Root them + aoe. It's sick xp. The occasional time where I'd screw up i could bop the lowbie. Not sure if this still works.
Ive only seen one other person here during several hours of grinding, it was a geared 85 rogue. They used that rogue aoe ability right when id pull to try to tag some of my mobs. They died a couple times accidentally pulling crowds that had respawned then they left. A couple people have been flying by and stopped to watch me for a couple minutes. Otherwise i havent seen anyone up top.
Zenga: what level was the low pally and what kind of xp per kill did they get?
did 45-70 in a few hours, can't recall actual xp / kill
not even sure if you can still fly in cata zones with lowbie on the back of your mount
Still works. Running 4 enhance shamans + 1 85 DK, it gets dicey and I can easily wipe myself but I'm doing about 750k an hour which is nearly 2x as fast as questing with 4 characters.
Additionally, with IWT setup for my melee spam, the drones loot probably 60-70% of the kills on their own.
Might try this for my next group after I finish scholo grinding them. Just gotta work out how to get lowbies up there without flying and without the RAF accounts being linked to my main.
lol nice oneQuote:

Man I am so relieved reading that post. I went up there at 83 looking to score some serious XP and got my arse handed to me (DK + 4 Elesham). I limited my pulls and it worked better but then I was not pulling very good XP.Quote:

yes guild perk summon works fine there
I run 9 down there - spam attacks with 8 and just loot with my tailor who is sporting potion of treasure finding. Haven't found a better place to grind yet.
Until its removed in MoP 8(... back to parking Warlocks at favorite farming locations 8)Quote:

I have been farming another spot, where you can stand, far from the mobs, and gather as few as 2, or as many as 15 mobs at once, with reset timers about the same, giving you enough time to drink on a healer or on your casters as you like. I'll make a video of the spots I know of soon.
I think... the thing about this area, is you need some gear to kill / survive the mobs properly. if you don't have the gear, you will die!
If you grind from 80+ around here, you should just buy some of the green 78-82 greens that are cheap, ilvl 278+ and then you will survive easily. Especially since you won't have any gear from questing if you grind here (I always buy any ilvl 308+ blues I see for my toons, they are gold all the way to 85)

I headed out there last night with my dk and 4 79 shamans not bad at all. I thought I have the same idea with druids at 70, bad idea lol they were getting 945xp with RAF too.
Well the picture says it all. To clarify a bit the mobs that drop down from the platform dont give exp as they are in combat with the giant things, It looks like they are at war with the crystal giants who are knocking them off the platform, they fall and are injured and stunned so they dont give exp. They all have the same name tuber or something. Mobs on the platform though do give level 83 experince.
You can see the best pulling spot from the coodenates in the picture. You might also notice my ping, ui, members in my guild, and my gold heh ....

End of the expansion, deathwalker is discovering the cata zones. Seen the same in wotlk :)
So when the AOE loot comes will we be able to use it there? Or is it just for dungeons?
AoE looting will be active everywhere.Quote:

It sooo nice to not have to loot at all, saves a LOT of time.
In a few weeks the XP required-to-level will decrease for at least levels 81-85.Quote:

Do you have a source for this? I can't find this anywhere. If you are referring to the Beta xp changes, I didn't notice any statement that this would go live. The stated purpose of the change was for test purposes.Quote:

Why would they bother to lower the experience needed to level so late in the beta if they had no intention of making it live? And when have they not nerfed prior expansion experience when a new one was released?Quote:

I found the little nich kinda near the bridge and am getting even more exp. Its just insane. Just constant pulling and killing non stop.

How is your team progressing mate? Are you doing this method to lvl the rest of the way to 85 now?Quote:

and ya I should have all to 85 by mop with this method. I dont put the under level 70s there though as mobs will just come from to far, Ill get them rested and then back to the first spot.
What are you going to do with 27 level 85s?
Raids, Wpvp, bgs?
Are you able to summon them in to a ledge nearby thats close enough for xp but far enough away to not proximity aggro, and have them in the same group as the person tagging the mobs?Quote:
