Jade Temple Elemental Farming

[heyaz]

Actually in Stormstout Brewery it is the first 5 elites I kill to get the 150k, I have a click bar which disbands the group and then invite which resets the dungeons and I am back in again. It is VERY midless lol

I had all of that too. You still have to run through the instance, grab the monkeys, aoe down, macro out, macro back in, repeat. It's easy but not totally mindless due to the movement and resetting.

I'm talking standing in one place hitting one button forever and getting loot for 230k experience per 3 minutes at 89.

Edit:
Just re-read your post - so you don't grab the 40 non-elite monkeys after that? It's a bit more experience but that one is not mindless and you have to pay attention. Whatever your leveling method, it's fine, but for me I prefer more xp without resetting and actually geting loot.

Doing the math here, I think this area is faster.

It's about 23 million experience from 89-90. It took just under five hours for that level. If my math is correct that is 76k experience per minute with loot, so 230k per three minutes just standing in one place.

I must try it with my level 88 team, only issue is that I have to do the quest chains, I HATE those vehicle quests, total time sink

I have 3 other level 85 teams I would love to get to 90 so I may try this route, hopefully they do not nerf it

Well I'm glad i left jade forest early now with my main team! None of the spots i grind for motes sounds as good as this place.

At lvl 87 with my 5 man team, rested.....I was almost doing 7 million(I think 5130xp per kill) an hour per toon...... And this is just staying at the lower level killing mobs.
Plus, IWT for melle will randomly grab a dead corpse and loot everything....dont even have to stop to loot.
Like heyaz said, mote drops are crazy...i dont even worry about who picks them up.....i just sell them for the lotus anyway.
I also tried the monkeys and didnt enjoy it.

I seem to remember getting the quest after reaching Dawns Blossom.

I often wonder how much XP a single player could pull from mob tagging and letting a seperate group kill.

Found the start of the quest line.

Noticed this the first time around.

Now I done the quest and cant get back there

Oh well, awesome grind spot for my 10 mage team when they hit 85 (currently stuck at 80)

[Mokoi]

I did this on my 10 box of hunters and resto druids. with 10 toons, I was getting 4-5million exp PER toon.. it was far better than ANY questing, grouping, etc experience available. I just stayed there, and played AV when I was bored (i was bored a lot, I had 4k Honor at level 87)

I finally got to this area with my main team.. Its not as good as loot as the sprites when this http://www.wowhead.com/quest=30191 daily is up. Those same sprites are up when you have to put out the fires but not as many as when you have to collect the barrels for the quest i listed. However.. sometimes that quest is not up for days, so the jade serpent area is a damn good alternative! Also, i can see how this will be wonderful for grinding levels with the added bonus of loot. My main team is 90 so its less thrilling for them. I'm doing the starting JF quests with my dk,druid,mages now..so will be there soon 8)

Can you confirm that ALL of the Jade Forest quests have to be completed before opening up this area? Or is there a point in the other quest lines which opens this too without doing all the starter quests. My current team is 88 and I really do not want to have to spend days doing low level quests to get here

I just did them again and you have to do everything. Once you get sent to Dawns Blossom you will do the first round of quests there, IGNORE the quests called "An Air of Worry" and "Find the Boy". You will get a quest that sends you to Emperor's Omen. The few quests there lead to the start of the quests (http://www.wowhead.com/quest=29931) that get you in Jade Serpent quest area.
