Classic WoW Lvl 44 Mage solo ZF graveyard - 120k+ exp & 35g+ per hour

ZF graveyard solo in less than 20 minutes by my lvl 44 mage alt. I started this at lvl 42 and it's easily the fastest possible way to level up in Classic WoW. The clip is unedited to show a full graveyard clear run from start to end, except that it's sped up to 1.25x from the original to not make it too long.
You'll get between 120k-150k exp per hour if you do 20-minute runs (130-160% of a full level), depending on if you want to loot the corpses & graves. Gold is very decent for this low level, as it averages out to 35g per hour just in raw gold loot and vendoring all drops, would possibly be more if you'd sell the loot in auction house.
For your gear, you'll want to focus on having as much intelligence and stamina as possible, and as you can see from my gear, it's nothing special - meaning that you can also start doing this without having any great equipment. Having a mount is a must, and movement speed enchant on boots can also help you in kiting. Having more int will make this easier / faster, as you can use Flamestrikes and Arcane Explosions instead of only Cone of Cold if you have a bigger mana pool.
It's very easy to do once you get the hang of it - note that I'm playing on a constant 300-350 ms ping, so it'll be a lot easier if you have a normal ping around 100ms.

I started trying this at 47, this is difficult, after so many attempts and mistakes I can now do 8 tombs at once consistently, I can't do as many as the OP did in the vid as I simply find that with so many mobs you will sometimes get 2 resists in the same COC and it really stuffed up my positioning of the mobs. Some tips for people starting out that aren't explained in the vid 1. You need to agro the boss (and lose agro via the safe spot) before opening the tombs, if you don't the mobs don't run to boss and will just begin attacking you. 2. Start with just 2 tombs to begin with until you learn how to kite the mobs, it's easy to reset and you won't die the moment you stuff up. 3. When you iceblock the timing on exiting the iceblock is important, you want to do it after you get a heap of immune hits on you. 4. The key to kiting is the backpedaling as you use COC, with 2 seconds cd on COC you should be getting ready to backpedal 5. You should make your 2 highest level mana biscuits before starting, the moment you use enough mana to fully utilize your highest level biscuit use it, this should mean you can use 2 biscuits in the 1 pull if required. 6. Because COC is on a 8 sec CD in theory it means you get full mana regen for 3 seconds (5 second rule), this means ideally if you need to reapply ice barrier do it either directly before or after you cast COC to maximise mana regen.

It's way easier than blizzard farming and your safe frost nova for CoC resists. But chances are it will resist CoC then nova are still high if you pull too many. With this tactic you can recover from resists. Every good mage farms this way.

I tried this tonight and I must admid its quite hard in the beginning. I died twice and then reset to learn it with 2 Zombies to get afeeling for the melee range and where to walk in which way to keep em close but not too close.

i died a lot trying this shit and i got mad as fuck before finally getting some expso here’s some really helpful tips to save ur sanity: 1. Dont try to clear 1 side of the room on ur first try. Ur gonna fucking die without practice. Try kiting mobs from 2 or3 tombs first. 2. Understand leeway mechanic and master the range of cone of cold. Use a window from one of your addons and put it a couple cm from your char, use it as a marker to help you find out if they are in range. 3. After frost nova wait 7 secs before casting cone of cold. 4. Running in a circle around the room will help group the mobs up and your cone of colds will stop missing if you have the range down. 5. If a mob resists, dont frost nova unless you are 1hp, let it hit you and run to the opposite side of the room to find an angle where u can run and make the resist mob and the slowed mobs meet then cast cone of cold. If 2 or more mobs resist you have to pop ice barrier or you might lose a lot of hp, then just follow steps above. 6. When starting out it helps to have health pots because you will make a lot of mistakes.

Lucky you dodged... you almost bit it on the second pull of zombie. 😜 Nice video

You can boost the Gold and xp per hour if you also clear scarabs, frost nova a group of the far scarabs run into hallway back towards grave yard ice block scarabs aggro other scarabs massive pack forms exit ice block > nova > blink > ice barrier > blizzard until dead

[@Polopollo75]

Ok I'm lvl60 and I use this technique. The Blizzard is too inconsistent, mobs get out of nova at different times, it scatters them and makes a mess. This is 100% the best/safest way. I also add some flamestrikes cuz I have the mana. I also only use IB on the second pull as I have more HP. I rarely used a mana gem, only if I mess my pulls and run out of ice shield.

Looks awesome, can't wait to try it. What would happen if after each pull before you begin to kite them, you went to the reset by the stairs and waited to get out of combat, then go and open the next lot of graves, reset on stairs again and then do then do the last one hoping that you can kite then entire lot at once? Or otherwise do it in 2 goes (1st run 2/3 pulls, 2nd pull 1/3 pull being is that you only have 2 ice blocks available). Thoughts?

[@squishosrs5790]

If not hitcapped too many mobs increases chance for resists, which already happen often enough. You can see several resists in this, it only takes 1 unlucky coc to cause a corpse run on a pack too large.

Hey! That part is really just something you need to learn and get used to, and it's probably one of the hardest aspects of aoe grinding multiple mobs in general. As you can see from the vid, I don't just randomly release ice block, but instead I wait for a big wave of "Immune" hits and then release it. The mobs attack in "waves", so you need to time the release right after most of the mobs have just swung their hits. You'll get it, just takes a bit for practice! :)

For anyone who's interested, I made a Shatter-AoE oriented build for (Frost Nova -> Flame Strike/Cone of Cold) combos, it only requires level 43 (just ignore the arcane tree). classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/mage/230205021002--02350230132351301 It still allows for Blizzard AoE slow so you won't have to respec once you finish farming ZF. I found the Shatter combo with Frost Nova to be very nice and bursty for world PVP events, the only real downside with the build is that you have 6% less overall frost damage due to neglecting Piercing Ice in order make free up points for Ice Shards/Shatter. However I found the small reduction in damage to be insignificant in comparison to being given the ability to guarantee fat crits 50% of the time. I only tested it a little while, but the resulting crits definitely helped burn the zombie mobs down at a much quicker rate. The only thing I need to experiment with more is the mana viability of Flamestrike, it might need to be rationed to every other combo given its high mana cost, sticking to (Frost Nova -> Cone of Cold) in between instead.

[@MeowbOSRS]

@@hammar9989 or you could nova and just wait until they are at 1 second until it breaks and CoC for the crits

[@Skarzor]

You should absolutely use rank1 frost nova whenever you can, and CoC when there's 1sec left on your Frost nova. Mobs will die a lot faster.

[@Kevincole87]

You make this look so easy, i have been practicing for about 5 hours now and barley able to do 2 zombies at the moment but i feel like i am getting close to step it up quite a bit cause 2 should be just about the same as 10, just working on the spacing , and missing a Cone Of cold= death.

[@dodde216]

Isn't nova > blink > blizzard a good way as well? instead of cone dancing

[@localboyify]

Impressive not sure how you don't get fucked by leeway, half the time my Coc will miss and I get 1 shot by 15 yards even with backpedaling to try avoid the mechanic

[@PloiakovPavel]

Do you have to be a Gnome to hide there?

[@moskomor4]

No you haven´t

[@arcwar5789]

Behind the jugs in middle of room (in front of boss stairs at the wall across from him) also works, I actually learned new about the spot on the altar right next to boss from this video

[@Sage2000]

I am confused. How does she leaves combat so easily inside a dungeon?

[@RappeGAMING]

i do this and the mobs hit me from 20 yards and i die with 32 ms..

[@SemperPravus]

Rallelele I’m new to WoW but I think the mechanic behind melee mob range is due to the direction you’re moving, so you have to backpedal after casting CoC to outside their range. If you sidestep they will hit you. I think this is the mechanic but not 100% sure

[@RappeGAMING]

@@SemperPravus Well it is something wrong in classic, ive died above the ground by enemies underneath in a cave. the vertical melee range is 100 yard or something. I manage to do some clears but I have to be extremly precise. to hit everyone with CoC and moving is on the fkn inch even with arctic reach

[@gregorgregor5172]

Is this easier as a gnome? Because when I try it with a troll, i always get hit from shadow bolts...

[@xoresgaminghub5412]

Aight so i play wow for 12+ years and i have never knew that mobs will loose aggro if you go somewhere they cant reach ( i dont mean distance )

[@lullylew9083]

not surprising since they run through walls outside of the instances lol

[@nandrolone.is.underated]

@fuckwad i guess people with downsyndrome play wow to

[@nicolerummerstorfer]

Sunrider what‘s wrong with ya‘ll - no need to be mean

[@Pewzen]

Whats the genre of these songs? God damn chillaxing... Nice video btw, give me the music so I can manage this too :D

[@MadCatzLover]

Did lvl 42-54 in around 14h /played. BTW you can get Gold for boosting people with this method! I started boosting people with my mage when i was 48 and took 3-5g/run (depending on servertime) and thanks to that my mage financed my Lionheart helmet and my Epicmount! BTW DONT SELL THE MAGEWEAVE TO THE VENDOR! Sell it in the Auctionhouse or to other people at a price of around 3,85-3,95s / piece. Have fun and good luck, i actually want to lvl a mage again just because of this ZF fuckery!

[@durnanironknuckles1617]

How are you dropping agro from hiding behind those stone fragments? Good technique!

[@k1kk0ssbm13]

so why would u ever blizzard kite when u can cone of cold kite?

[@janjuran5189]

Ok so i tried this on level 49-50, there is literally 0 chance this works. Every single CoC is resisted by one or more zombies. And Im 5 level above them.

[@somejoshdude]

Jump. Took me 4 hours of constant dying and it just clicked one pull . 50+. One thing I've noticed, if you're having issues with leeway. Come in block with ice barrier, once most of the hits register on block, break staying the most open path and Nova. Get your first come off cold on center of mobs stepping back, I jump on first CoC. When backing up strafe and when clear bank a hard circle. At around 3 seconds of CoC lasting, this is critical tap w towards mobs. And then back up while casting CoC. I've found they sorta step in place which makes the pack super tight. That micro step forward every second CoC seems to handle leeway for me. Now at 51 I started adding in flamestrike, it gets super easy once you get that leeway situation figured out

[@infodokureport9087]

Great Video! What about some Frozen wrath items (+Frost dmg) for better Mana to dmg of CoC? Worth it?

[@Darthyell]

Not worth it, since Spellpower / frost dmg doesn't scale well with our AoE abilties. Having more int to be able to cast 1-2 more CoCs is way better damage wise
