2 Classified Vanilla Grind Spots - A Classic WoW Rags to Riches

[@aewohiuwefhweu]

I started thinking about classic like way too much recently... can't wait

[@Overi4096]

Same here, can't wait for the release date announce so I can book a 2-week vacation! Maybe I will regret it but screw girls, screw dating, screw beach I'm gonna play classic wow!

I absolutely love when you go over the lore of the area you're grinding in. My favorite part of the video!!

[@IndigoSquid27]

Love how you give a little detail and story to the areas before you dive into the gold farming spot!

[@Frostadamus]

Some people actually hate it :)

[@dror843]

i really love that you give lore about the zone before goin to technical gameplay

[@JustynHill-Hand]

I seriously love how you give the lore of any zone you talk about, even for simple videos like gold grinds that have nothing to do with lore.

[@cosm.i.n]

Goose bumps every time I click on one of your videos. You make me 10 times more excited for Classic than I should be! 💖

dude this is the best wow series ive ever seen on youtube. gold and lore combined is so great to watch

[@SamSam-bg6ok]

Since the opening of your channel I appreciate the quality of your content, keep it up !

[@Jesse_Bee]

Thanks for all the info. I had forgotten so much of this from 2005 when I played vanilla onwards. I am looking forward to rolling a mage in vanilla.

[@sephiose]

Anyone reminded of the video Associate Professor Evil kills all gold farmers from Oxhorn over a decade ago when he mentioned the ogre grinding spot & gold farmers? Good guide as usual regardless!

[@Icosiol]

Frostadamus, you're really beginning to make a name of yourself in the Classic community. Your videos are entertaining and very informative. Keep up the great work.

[@FTW_Wolf]

It will be interesting to see the data of drops and how acculturate they are to live servers. I remember the elite ogre's in lochmodan had a much better loot table compared to the cluster fuck that is loot tables on private servers. Not to mention deliberate nerfs in some other places. Cough DM runs Errhem. sorry something caught in my neck hole.

[@StayHungry41]

Frost the quality of your editing and voiceovers are some of the best on KZbin. Love all your videos!

[@hou53r61]

Frost your videos are great. This one was a little short with just 13min. The lore parts are also always entertaining. I dont get the people complaining... dont change your style! All the best from Deutschland

[@Frostadamus]

Thanks man, I'm not going to change the style on the series because some people consider them to long. Just doing what I enjoy doing :) Thanks for the feedback :P

[@Neox1986]

These will be helpfull once classic drops!

[@snailienio]

as Horde with skinning I'd farm the Pesterhide Hyenas in the thousand needles (25-29), insane grey item value per hour, finanzed my mount solely from that spot with a nice route near the vendors

[@Overi4096]

Nice, I remembers Hyenas in Barrens/Thousand needles dropping gray's which vendor for 6 silver each and stacks to 5 items. It's such a pleasure to return from questing and selling several stacks for 30silver each =)

[@Frostadamus]

yup, that spot rocks. I've covered the hyenas in desolace. These re pretty neat also, and they come in packs of 5.

[@savajovic6719]

Jesus thousand needles brings back so much memories

Hi Josh, Thank you.

You're welcome friend. Send me your list so we can get over it faster :)

[@evnevn1958]

Love your videos man. I usually grind in the crypts just south of the ogres in deadwind pass and have pretty good luck. The mobs repop pretty fast and they are somewhat close to each other.

[@brentsta]

I've just been grinding since level 13. Already have 2 14 slot bags and 3 12 slot bags, 3g, and all my useful spells at 22. Even ran deadmines a couple times, got the corsair shirt and cookies wand. Ran sfk got the cloth shoulders. Can't wait to grind at max level and make B A N K!

awesome video Frost.

[@TheNarghes]

Anduin's theme on the backround, soothing

[@Starplaya]

You deserve more subs man. Awesomely made videos. Nice explanation and thanks for summarising it all in the end

[@gerbinos2]

Frost, as alliance, this spot is amazing $$ as light feather is mostly from harpies and that creature is mostly only in horde zone. That cave also have grp quest which can become crowded. This is one of my favorite grinding spot as an alliance druid / rogue so you dont gank constantly. I purchase mounts from that cave numerous time. Cheer

[@nickpoodoo]

I made a decent bit off the centaur cave. Two chests, several mining nodes, and a lot of item drops

[@SwoleBenji]

The cave you mentioned has TONS Of ore to be mined. Like 4-5 nodes easily.

[@Sebdes23]

Pre 40 mount gold farming, I liked SM grave yard. It was instanced so no competition. Elites did take time but dropped great vendor trash plus a chance at the steel chain

[@Frostadamus]

true, also if you have herbalism, you can get grave moss.

Hey. I got a tip for you. When you presented the raw copper from the harpies the coin icon was gold. Just thought i'd tell you so you can replace it with either silver or copper icons in later vids :) Much love man!

[@michaelk9080]

The DWP spot becomes even better when you're a rogue. I hope I don't get TOO much competition there considering how good of a rogue farming spot it is due to all your CC's being effective/kick and pickpocket. Great video :)

[@Frostadamus]

True. pickpocketing will boost your gold/hour. Also, I always find the grind with rogue much faster when it comes to 1 by 1 mob kill.

[@puffin-onehandedgamer1164]

I use to farm felcloth in Aszhara, they sold for 2-3 gold each, took a very long time but I did get my mount eventually.

[@themrqwertymarkOriginal]

[@Sharks]

Love the videos, especially in this series! Would you consider doing a video (or series) just on semi-afk leveling/money strategies?

[@Ithrial420]

All of these become the semi AFK if you roll a lock or a hunter. I have more experience right now with the hunter even though I used to main a lock so I will explain the hunter side. My favorite place to farm with my hunter right now on k3 is the timbermaw firbolgs right outside the cave winter springside literally all I do is sit and aspect of the cheetah while Kitty goes and attacks everything while I auto shot I can say we roughly fifty golden hour from that area amazing drops would always be walking away with a a stack of healing Pottermore

[@REL_112]

Nice one Frost! Really like this serie alot :)

[@Xendrius]

How has CIA not taken this video down?

[@Fossilzuh]

They released an itemization of classic 1.12, you should do a video of good spots to grind because of the greens that will drop with this itemization I'm thinking healing offhands ect, and + fire, frost, damage, now we know green will make a very good portion of gold grinding spot :)

[@Frostadamus]

good idea, I'll look into this. Thanks

[@galkapld]

Yeah this spot is a lot more popular now. Although , I prefer to go down into the ghost cellars because the respawn rate is very high and they have low hp/high dmg.

[@Frostadamus]

ah, to kill the undead?

[@galkapld]

Frostadamus yessir indeed! A long 2+ hour run down in the cellar , you might find interesting results ;P

[@tubesism]

Watch the spawnrate on the harpies and be careful with the chest in the back. On nostalrius we ended up accidentally spawning like 50 harpies back there lol. I can't remember how we managed to clear them out.

[@danforbes4513]

great vid yet again frost keep them coming frost :)

[@jokeplan9041]

Awesome video as always, I really enjoy how you weave in the lore aspect in your them! May you disclose which server this guides are made on? Would be curious to give it a try.

[@fitzdraco]

In Deadwind pass there's a road that just kind of forms a ring in the middle of the zone, it just has vultures fairly spread out. At level 60 the vultures are easy enough to kill and have a very consistent drop rate of high value grey stuff, along with the expected random world drops. It's can be a fairly lucrative if boring place to farm. Essentially you just run the ring, and by the time you come around the vultures have respawned. Not a lot of fussing with the AH on this one. Vanilla fact, this was a popular location for bots back in the day, it was such a simple area to path that you would see bots farming the area. It was a good place to learn how they functioned. If you tagged a mob, they would just kill it with the same set of skills and then try and loot it. Occasionally it would get stuck. A note about this location it can't handle more then two or so people farming it, so it's not great all the time. But good if you need a change.

[@Frostadamus]

Need to check that out. Never grind there, but high value grey sounds consistent. Can you skin? I guess so.

[@fitzdraco]

@@Frostadamus Looking at an old loot table you can skin them. I was blacksmith back in the day, so I don't remember. The mobs are called Sky Shadow, and the big appeal is a slow safe cash flow. You aren't likely to run up a big repair bill on these, you'll make good money on the gray drops. They also drop some useful crafting mats, buzzard wings, giant eggs, mystery meat, iron feathers. Honestly I'd probably put the area as 2nd or 3rd choice. Other places get full I would go here for no competition. They are also 55+ mobs, which means their world drops are 55+. Most people think of the .01% boe drops at this point, but there's a better thing to look for. Randomly stat greens. There's a bunch of high level green sets (by name only, no set bonus) that have random attributes. Councillor is cloth, Wanderer is leather, Ornate is mail, Templar is plate. These can actually end up being preraid BIS for a lot of people and can fetch a lot of gold. They can also be trash. You have to know what people are looking for, but knowledgeable people will pay for them. The birds aren't special in dropping these, they are just a safe place to farm. Maybe your class isn't the best at burning down mobs or what have you. Any mob 55+ can drop them.

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

I am always torn, when I watch these kind of videos, between giving an economics lesson, or just rubbing my hands together in glee thinking about all the gold I am going to make by NOT doing this.

[@Frostadamus]

Are you one of those guys that spends all day in front of the auction house ?:)

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

@@Frostadamus No, but I am more of a manufacturer or gatherer. Gold farming generally only creates inflation, money supply, like the treasury printing money, which means the price of my stuff goes up. With probably a greater proportion of the server population raiding than before, the only threat to me selling my flasks and other consumables, is a lack of liquidity. Lots of people, with lots of gold, and an inadequate supply, just means a bidding war and more gold for me! :) Not quite the benefit I was hoping for from my expensive economics education, but something at least.

[@HYDRAKOMIKS]

I like to call it Rags to Bitches! For the Horde!!!!

[@hanialadham4336]

Great video, thanks man!!

[@Turtlemilk]

Just finished grinding this spot for almost 3 hours, only got about 7 stacks of rune cloth, 0 mana pots / health, 4 greys, 1 green, all total I made after selling and raw mob grind.. about 24-26 gold..

[@ultraboonrpg3094]

Basically, all Frostdamus grind spot videos that are not based on actual WoW Classic are fucking worthless. This is all Private Server bullshit. Classic drop rates are way, and I mean WAY, lower. This is maybe a 10g/h grind spot, maybe up to 15g/h if you luck out with the drops. And that's actually one of the better ones. Frostsdamus' supposedly "hottest" Silithus grind spot, for example, is almost comically bad in Classic, yielding maybe 7g/h.

[@Turtlemilk]

UltraBoon RPG yeah not a good spot

[@mferna08]

That Soulkeeper is a BiS twink item. 3.8 attack speed...

Well, prior to WoD most Ogre Mages were actually more like shamans if you look at their spells (bloodlust for example.).

It's funny to think BFA methods make upwards of 100k+ hr and vanilla as 9-100g/hr. I do remember borrowing from my guild to get the mats for the paladin mount quest though

[@spirit5877]

I remember some actual classified farms in vanilla... gonna keep them to myself for classic ;)

[@Frostadamus]

:)

[@bubonicshade2300]

Not very classified if I say but also for pure gold you can farm basilisk in shimmering flats if you wanna get your mount fresh at 40. I did it on my hunter playing elysium a year or so ago and made 150g in about 3-4 hours of farming...

[@Sepp_Tember]

Soulkeeper is not a useless item. The invocation spell of mages replenishes mana based on your spirit, so ideally a mage wants to swap their dps weapon to soulkeeper (with +20 spirit enchant), cast invocation and then swap back to his dps weapon. You can do this in combat.

[@jonm9102]

I'm stuck between wanting to tell everyone about Frost's content because its the best, and wanting to keep all the knowledge to myself because I'm a greedy bitch.....

[@Frostadamus]

Don't worry, people have the knowledge. The problem is laziness.

[@OlesTheGreat]

Frost, I really enjoy your videos. Most likely I will not play wow as I have a job and playing for 1-2 hours a day will suck. So just watching here, but all those "farming spots" videos are funny as basically you can just go farm any place and you will still loot something which will be useful here or there. There are few decent spots like felcloth satyrs which may be considered a real "spot". But most other spots are just the same you just go to a place what you enjoy(location, music, mobs) and just kill mobs there I believe enjoying the place is a thing one should consider the most relevant at least at a high level.

[@Gitaikou]

hey guys its frost ere with another vanilla woah biyu

[@shivasthong4924]

I don't expect it to be any different this time around, much less the respawn rates.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

i wanted to get the bracers enchant but thought someone must be grinding there already gotta check that spot, it's interesting how many people are actually there on private servers... because felcloth spots in azshara are often occupied with raid gear 60s... in any case i am okay with stonescale and blackmouth profit)

[@Frostadamus]

How much is the cap in these private servers right now? A year ago I remember seeing 10k people online. It's still steady? Because that will affect how crowded the spots are. If we get like 3 - 5k caps in classic, things will be smoother.

[@gasser5001]

Good, you didn't expose my favorite spot.

[@andrewaeymour]

Correct me if I am wrong. Didn’t deadline pass have very little mobs in classic wow? I remember being curious and going there, but not seeing much. Maybe a mob or 2, but not enough to grind gold. Now this was years ago and memories not so good :)

[@Frostadamus]

it was ogres, soem vultures and undead near kharazan entrance. All 3 viable grind spots.

[@SillyScyllia]

What is the best way to farm major mana potions do you think?

[@Frostadamus]

3 dreamfoils - 2 Icecaps Recipe from scholomance. Check my alchemy guide :)

Who would you say are the better class to farm single target mobs like the karazan ogras or the demon spot in Aszhara WL or Mage...no aoe answers pure single target farm.
