Horde Mage Speed Leveling Guide | Solo AoE Farm locations 1-60 (also some quests) | Mage Compendium

[@FrostLiveWoW]

What is up guys! I have been getting a ton of questions from you all about the guide. I know there are some things that are different so I am keeping the written guide updated. So if you want to ask me any questions come to my twitch channel. I have been streaming there everyday for an insane amount of time since launch. So I will probably be live if you check my twitch page and if I'm not wait 6 hours and there I can answer any questions you have. Happy hunting :)

[@ptechm]

Cool guide! Is that RisenUI that you are using, or something similar for the interface? Can I get a link please?

[@FrostLiveWoW]

@@ptechm That was my UI on a private server, not sure if there is an addon for that UI yet

[@rdmcrafter9185]

Is aoe leveling from 22-26 meant to be slow?

[@jaymarshbank3862]

@@rdmcrafter9185 Until 26 you don't have cone of cold, Which is a huge factor as far as an instant AoE frost spell that is invaluable for more effectively grouping up your pull safely while at the same time adding a good burst of damage. So ya, before 26 it can be done but that's when you have become much more optimally proficient. You also will have picked up 2/2 artic reach, at that point your AoE kit really feels fleshed out and complete.

[@FrostLiveWoW]

@@ptechm elvui is pretty similar

You humble me, thank you so much for your kind words :)

Hey man, just want to show my appreciaton for this guide, it Saved me a Lot of time and is really helpful, Thank you for putting time and effort into making this.

This is just one of the thousands of videos I have watched in anticipation for wow classic. Sooooo Hyped!!!

1 year since this video came out today. Can't explain how much this video helped my leveling experience

Its funny how ive spent countless of hours in your stream during classic launch and here iam again since sod is coming. thanks for the guide homie, hopefully everything is going fine

[@Gosuutou]

Probably the best video for aoe leveling

[@theSaani]

I strongly recommend avoiding Dryads in Ashenvale as advised in this video (as an alternative), they have high resistance to frost.

[@betweenthepanels9145]

Yeah. I tried them. Not a good spot.

[@LuckyTechy]

how are they even recommended in this vid i don't get it? They are completely unfarmable

[@ruffnarbobnar5960]

new sub thanks for the guide... i have played wow for many many years and mage is the single class i have never played. well im really tempted just getting into the classic servers now so gonna give one a shot keep up the good content

[@Fumas12]

Forget about the sisters. They have insane magic resistance. They're level 25 and unless you're roughly 30 you cannot solo them at any reasonable pace

[@mewpsy1000]

Ty for that dude, tried, only for them to always resist my frost nova, and the whole pull was ruined.

[@goldmeistergeneral]

yeah i just tried at the suggested level range when i was level 25, i pull only 4 mobs, 3 of them resist the frost nova almost every pull

[@Nyarlathotep_Flagg]

Thanks first good farming route guide I found on youtube. I couldn't for the life of me recall which camps had ranged mobs, and which didn't(I never lvled to 60 with aoe farming before, mostly I lvled warriors/mages/paladins through dungeons. Or just mainly questing with other classes).

[@videostop7564]

Thank you! This is so much better than jokerd fanboi club guides!!! Actual options of places to go thanks!

[@Kodeations]

@frostlive what is your Mage Talents and build? Watching your video but I have not seen your build, did I miss it in the video?

[@brad3225]

Currently lvl 42 on Classic and most of the many AoE videos on KZbin are good if, IF, your layer isn't full of 3 other mages in the same area. Off hours, 3am etc, works great.

[@alejandroallerfranco4243]

haha yes. Used to go bed very late before classic. Now at 22.00 I am already sleeping, at 5.00 I wake up and start playing. Love to wake up early!

[@dubstepforever99]

you can solo farm zf from 43 to 53-54 so not really anyone around to take your farm :)

[@mosquito6581]

Great video man. Finally a horde mage leveling guide lol

[@canadialad99]

You do not need anyone else to help reset dungeons other than helping to form your initial group. Here are the steps to properly resetting a dungeon on your own: * Have a friend/guildie invite both your character + your alt to a group (your friend/guildie can now leave) * Once the run/dungeon is complete, log out of your character while IN THE DUNGEON * Login to your alt that is in the group * Wait until the alt is given the leader role (this happens after a minute or so) * Reset the dungeon * Log back on to the character in the dungeon You will be at the beginning of the dungeon and it will have been reset. You're welcome.

[@macabrew]

Excellent video, just what I was looking for.. Thank you.

[@evilos4296]

Dont Go for the sisters in Ashenvale they are highly resistant to frost

[@skylarjones33]

just about broke my keyboard trying this one

[@brad388]

Literally on a flight path there because Hillsbrad is getting mad ganked, guess I'll just logout for now lol

[@iamtheone91]

Yup. I found out the hard way. You pretty much have to quest at some point before the wyverns, because there are no good spots to aoe grind.

[@unixtreme]

@@iamtheone91 I find the wyverns to be a pretty shitty area, they poison and there's not much room to actually kite around...

[@rafah4329]

8:42 how are you mounted at 20? Video starts with WoW classic launch info so I'm assuming this is for classic aoe farming but you can't get mounts until 40 in classic.

he's 60 lvl on this moment of the video

[@modumsnus]

Laughing Sisters have to had their resistance changed. so many of them resist frost nova and Cone

[@FrostLiveWoW]

Yes they have high frost resist I added that to the guide now. Thanks for pointing that out

[@Bollalillo]

yep, not doable at all, like 50% resist

[@tska8473]

Laughing sisters are also part of the sacred flame quest from TB, and felwood slimes are part of a quest from UC in the apothecary

[@JonasMondrup]

I did ZF GY solo farm from 42-52 went super fast and after that i ran alot of instances and farmed my pre bis not the fastest but still fun and nice to raid as soon as i hit 60 :)

[@popthesmoker5143]

Amazing work dude! Thank you for that video, it will help us so much on classic!

[@FrostLiveWoW]

Thank you! I really hope it does, I don't want to see people stop playing at 40 because they don't know where to go to level

[@r0b3rtdq]

Is this for live or classic?

[@3picFailGuy]

Amazing video fella!

[@davidrockefeller2007]

I really don’t think mages will be able to aoe farm because there will be so many ppl around but we will see. These ones mentioned will probably be overcrowded, so you will need to have back up spots that people don’t normally grind. I would normally want to hit 60 ASAP but I’m going to just try and enjoy the ride so I’m less mad at the huge population issues.

[@keenzo1998]

weirdo

[@FrostLiveWoW]

I would agree with you if there wasn't layering in classic. Since there are layers each of these spots really will have about 10 different spots because of all the different layers. So if a spot is taken you don't just go "okay time to spend 10 minutes going somewhere else" instead you just layer hop and get the spot to yourself :)

[@henrylahiry5479]

Concise guide, thanks :)

[@Zonkou]

I’m curious because I can’t seem to find this info anywhere. When transitioning from one grind spot to the next higher level one. Where are you getting your upgraded gear? Buying off ah? Drops from farming? Just hit 20 on my mage so I’m super excited to get aoe farming. Thanks!

Hey man thanks for this video. I never played mage in vanilla, maining on in classic. Gave me some things to think about *thumbs up*

[@Arielvittori]

Hey guys. I am LV 40 (with mount) now and I am having some problems with the spiders in Swamp of Sorrows. The mobs are far apart and they do not keep aggro! So, when I run to gather them up, 1 o 2 always leave. How can I mantain Aggro so that I can kill more than 3 or 4 at a time?

[@mainossteemit9007]

greta job friend! other videos helped a lot too.

[@wlanphar0208]

The Swamp of Sorrows spiders is low pop zone, i can only pull at most four at a time because of vast spacing of mobs.

[@garrett2111]

You should make a strictly AoE farm guide with locations mainly. You are using a mount in this guide to pull, we don't have mounts. great guide nonetheless.

[@Dev1ner]

Absolutely agree. And good luck trying to pull that many murlocs at level 34 which was mentioned over the video. They hit really hard for a 34/35 mage and there are some that are 37 so, if they resist, game over most of the time or at least a completely aborted pull.

[@gabem8712]

@@Dev1ner the trick is to only are farm big pulls if there lower level than you

[@there544]

what are so good ways of getting gear early? im lvl 20 atm and feel a bit undergeared. Im not much of a dungeon person either.

[@gkls1743]

I'd say class quests or AH. But dungeons are your best bet for reliably getting gear. Also the problem with AH is you dont wanna spend too much money so you can afford a mount at 40

[@CondorWoW]

Do you have any recommendations on absolute necessary gear needs? either specific quests to do or certain dungeons to hit atleast once

[@NoHoldeMeBack]

Honestly, just stam/Int gear is the way to roll, I look @ the AH every 2 lvls when I go back to learn new spells.

[@EpikasJones]

how you avoiding the mass fear at dalsons? since you are 60 in the vid does not really count.

[@BodyhardRu]

Hello! They say a lot will be fixed on the official server in the pumping of the mage: the sardard slowdown does not work on the first second, the range attack of mobs under the frost is more than usual and so on. There is information how will it really be?

[@FrostLiveWoW]

Well from what I saw in the beta it will still be possible to aoe farm, it will be harder but still possible. I will be doing a ton of testing this next stress test on August 8th, so after that I will put out a video talking about this

[@owensullivan252]

Great guide, though I find that I have to come a level or two later than recommended because otherwise in big pulls, one or two mobs always resist frost nova.

[@FIoke]

do you have the talent which makes your frost spells not as likely to be resisted?

[@SnootyMinotaur]

was this done on private server? Those spiders dont spawn nearly as much as they do in the video. biggest pull of spiders possible is like 4 without having then evade

[@LT11893]

For me, the murloc pull in Dustwallow Marsh was undoable at 34 because their health would not go down very fast

[@christopherparks6487]

It just makes the groups die faster but ur xp is now divided in 2 so u need to pull bigger packs, which is doable, since u have double the cc and dps. But these areas he mentions are already going to have people farming them, solely because there is a youtube video about them now.

[@Kennsepp]

Love the video but the first AOE farming spot I did not even have enough mana to finish them off, when I came close to downing them I was simply OOM, I might need some more gear or some more practice? thanks anyway!

[@Arielvittori]

The same happened to me at the beggining. Its a MixUp: Practice will for sure help! But starting at 20, for me, was just too complicated. So, I started at 22, and things were easier. And when you are at 25-27 (with some extra Telent Points), it beggings to fell much better and smoother. So don´t get frustrated... it will get beeter with time!

Hey frost nice guide overall. But for real, laughing sisters is a joke. You can't be serious to farm her. Besides the pull with the druids inside the house, you CANNOT pull more than 3 laughing sisters, because they're too far apart. Besides that, I dont really know WHY, but laughing sisters resist your attack way more often than normal mobs. I'm level 29 and they resist my frost nova/cone of cold all the time.

Instead of having the party character names to top left you have your quest list there and over to the right you've got a nice square full of spells 'n such. Great organization. Mine is a huge mess.
