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

[@spurnoff6793]

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.

Literally the slowest way to aoe farm ever. Every good mage farms the correct way with improved blizzard and can easily pull 20-30 mobs if done correctly. You have cold snap, ice block for a back up if you happen to gets resist.

@@nesehipsafiaspn2906 farming with blizzard is easier & much faster than this method because you are doing consistent damage.

You can actually do what he doesin the video in 3 pulls once your gear is at a reasonable level & you practice the pulls. Roughly 8 minute runs.

Protip: If you quickly turn your character to face a mob as they're hitting you, you won't get dismounted by them. They can only daze you if they land a hit from behind you.

Proof that backing up is not useless.

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.

My best piece of advice is to have a /sit macro if you are not a gnome, it makes getting to the GY easier.

[@guerillin]

The video is slightly sped up, which explains the 3 minute difference in the run timer and the actual video and with this technique we’re looking at 24 minutes per run with the run back out. I loot all tombs and loot all mobs but can hardly get more than 4G in cash per run. Selling the cloth in AH will help, but the plus after the 35G is a stretch. Crazy XP though.

[@magegod742]

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.

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! :)

You'll also need 3 ice barriers, mana shield, a mana gem and a health pot to kill one at low level. For witch doctors you need to counterspell the flash heal, and make sure not to Nova it after it has casted a healing totem.

Go further on the ledge. I go past the first indent thing to LoS the arrow

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

[@xinyuwang2257]

Nice work. One question tho, why did all the mobs run away first instead of justing attacking you right away?

[@samuraijester6061]

Triggered the boss, which forces them to all run to boss

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

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.

Jesus. Imagine if Jokerd knew about this during his world first run. I bet his route will be insane next fresh.

[@OOmpahLoompey]

Thank you for this awesome suggestion! Until what level will one be able to utilize this exp grind? Assuming you start at 42, would it work till like 48 or something?

[@pikemaster84]

52 is usaly when people go for BRD i believe.

[@Darthyell]

Personally I did 42-50 in here, 50-52 in Mara and then BRD at 52+

You must attribute who is this awesome chill music artist and song name under info hurry! Also gj I would've been scared going in so low I'd think 45 is minimum even for solo farm gj man

[@Maincourse19]

Really really hard to do this. I've died well over 10 times so far before even killing the first zombie group, and that is from trying to run to the zombies. Pretty much if you get dismounted its gg (yay bad rng patrols). Long run back and have to start all over.

[@osyx1]

@Brandon Atwell Same! I'm 42 atm and the random mob that spawns sometimes who's 46 is a big issue..

[@henkarars]

you gotta learn the technique to stack them up.. its soo annoying when 1-2 mobs are like 2yards infront of the whole group so you risk to miss one mob behind with the CC

[@mkaelhhadi8406]

haii..this good video i try to learning this..can i know what addons used?

[@johnnyjones5048]

Does the first safe spot not work for trolls? Because I can’t lose aggro in the place that you first did

[@___Robin___]

fire blast the totems and they will go away, then you can mana shield ice barrier and mount up

Best advice I can give is to start with just a few zombies

thumbs up for the music

[@nook86]

how do you do that zombie dont attack you just run to boss?

[@tomislavskarica4725]

Trigger the boss at graveyard before opening graves
