Tyler Belanger I still have my scarab lord on retail.. No one wants to love retail more than I do but it's NOT an MMO like Vanilla was/is. Knowing the private servers are going to be taken down is the only reason I haven't devoted a lot of time into leveling multiple classes. Once Blizzard comes out with them I will be putting time in for sure, while growing my real life business lol
Robert Colo'n I don't want my scarab lord .. it's useless because WoW is dead(compared to what it was). The game is still alive and well but the feeling in the game and the reward system is dead. You can literally BUY mounts that look just like the scarab lord only cooler...
the green dragonscales obtained by skinning the whelps in the swamp are used for +5 herb enchant. you should sell those on the AH also. they are sometimes a goldmine. specially on a fresh realm
Dude, my compliments, you have a nice voice and add such relaxing music on the background. Kinda mixed about the content because everyone will use this when it comes out, but keep up the work nevertheless :)
The spot for the black whelps furthest in the back is also the spot where your least likely to get attacked by the other faction. I rarely happened back when I did that grind in vanilla although the leather did actually sell and I never vendored it.
i solo farmed gnomeregan from 37-40 as an engineering frost mage with backdoor key. i also used the net trinket and sometimes bombs. i just cleared the round room by kiting mobs around the steel ring (they can't cross it), pulled last boss with blizzard and blinked out before the gates closed then kited him to the round room and killed him the same way. got some gold from it and 1-2 fused wirings per run.
Farming fused wiring won't be anywhere as close to the value as on private servers. The reason is target dummys are glitched on private servers. You're suppose to be able to kill them and they drop fused wiring. Reason it's so high on private servers is the target dummies don't work right so the shredders are one of the only sources for it (not only just the best). Like you pointed out it's used for repair bots so there'll always be a market for raids. This won't be on the case on actual vanilla because target dummies will work correctly. Atleast they should...
What we need is not a AH gold farming guide, but a "Raw" gold guide. the first 3-4 months of classic it'll really be pointless trying to make gold with AH as noone will have the money to buy anything from it.
I remember leveling my shaman in vanilla. I stopped in a cave in hillsbrad foothills and just grinded the crap out of a cave of yetis I must have been there for hours. Left the cave with a full bag of leathers and a few levels to boot.
He at least put the 'thank you' text so anyone can just go watch another video at that point. Instead of some obnoxious self-promotion segment at the end, we get some soothing music and gameplay related to the topic. This is a good way to hit the 10 minute mark, infinitely better than him over saturating the script with ramblings.
ah swamp of sorrows, where i got my first epic. I cant remember the name, but it was a chain chestplate around level 35-40 i think. Good video my friend!
Hey Frost, great video as always. What would you rather recommend for a lvl 35-40 mage in swamps of sorrow. Farming the jaguars only, the whelps only or a mix of both?
Wait, what? fused wiring was worth that much? I got them fairly easily from crafting Decoys with engineering, I thought that was the only way of getting them. You can loot the decoy for materials which would also sometimes inclued fused wire (was a good chance). It may be a very profitable to craft decoys and farm them for it, you'll also get soem mats back to help re-craft more decoys. Just a thought
Very nice tips! May i ask you what is the Addon for nameplates that you are using? I like the cast bar style under the nameplates as well as your debuffs appearing right above it !

Hello Frost, I watched all your videos ! and i did not find a way to have the same chat box that you have. it clean a lot your UI. can you tell me how ? maybe someone in comment ?Thank you a lot ! and enjoy grinding ^^
Frosty, any idea what servertype you will be playing once blizz hit us with their Classic? Been around from the very beginning but forgot alot, thnx to you it’s all comming back, would be great playing alongside you, you’re no doubt a great personality. :)
in a way, this kind of grinding isn't as bad as 14 years ago, didn't have Netflix, crunchy roll and the like then, and many older PCs couldn't handle alt-tabbing to RU-vid well.
Only the best leather (forget the name at the moment) sells for anything decent. Skinning is typically taken by both rogues and hunters along with other classes who feel like having a 0 effort gathering profession as you max it without trying by just questing in areas with beasts in them sometimes. I remember anything at heavy hide or below was essentially vendor price (thanks to STV/pretty much all Starting areas). Once you hit Rugged Leather you can sell it because it's used to make actual gear.
Heavy leather is useful for Thorium Brotherhood rep. But even then it's so commonly available that it still only sells for just above vendor price, if it sells at all. Thick leather is where it starts. Never ever vendor thick leather. The Nightscape tunic recipe is a good money maker. Leatherworkers will pay you 40-50s more per stack than the vendor does.
It is pretty common that leather is worth nearly nothing because most people take it. Especially early into the game when nobody has money yet leather is only worth for selling at the vendor.
I feel like selling all that leather instead of just sending it to a bank alt is making this grind miss out on a big chunk of the gold you could make from it. All of these grind spots are pretty close to a mailbox and it's not like you will need to go that frequently.
It's an offline test server, no one plays on it. I think I even stated on the video that the potential gold/hour is much higher if you sell the stuff on auction house or futher transform them via professions.
@@Frostadamus Ah, I must not have heard that part. I never realized you were doing these on offline test servers either, I kinda assumed "test server" was code word for pservers haha. Thanks for the clarification.
Hi Frost love your videos and I'm glad you are back. I'm a bit surprised you just vendor your leather and green items instead of selling them on AH. Is there any reason you do this?
Hi Max. I sell everything to vendor to do the raw gold/hour math. You could sell some good greens items and the leather to auction house and make more.
Those spots are no good on Lights Hope. You'll get ganked and I think the same will happen in classic. People aren't that dumb with their gold spots.If it is not on PVE server, I'll gank you if you're not 60 and hang out there.
Can't you get fused wiring from depleted target dummies? (The ones created from engineering) That was the only way I remember, but perhaps they added that later in BC or LK because people where hard-up on fused wiring.
Small flame sacs are useless, let's face it the only fire protection potions that matter are the greater ones which require Elemental Fire. Other than that, nice video. One small P.S.: I scouted out these grind spots on a server that shall remain nameless, and let's just say there were more people there than there were spawns. In other words, on populated servers these spots are a no go. Then again I guess that can be said for more or less all established grind spots. Thank god I play a hunter and I can grind my Maraudon in peace.
Things have probably changed but I remember farming the badlands whelplings in vanilla all day with no competition on a high pop realm. I wonder though why he didn't cover the elite mobs in the same area in Badlands
