Mobs that Drop Expensive Loot - Classic Vanilla WoW Guide - Rags to Riches #04

completely forgot it was a gold making guide for 4 minutes

[@omy8443]

that is what it was ....

[@Nerfmagnet]

He needed to fill some time to get the video to be longer 10 minutes for the extra ad revenue. If you skip to the actual gold guide it's 9:00 something.

Frosty, you continue to wonderfully sum up the zone's story, and give us great tips for gold and grinding. Thank you.

[@Overi4096]

Waiting for vanilla can be annoying as hell, so try to watch Frost's videos to keep yourself sane.

[@AlexA-wb9pr]

Love your content mate The Longer the better Your vanilla videos are some of the best out there Love the lore bits as well

[@Sonja_TV]

Thank you!

[@seansaxon9423]

And again, well done sir. I, for one, appreciate you adding the element of lore. It is nice to see a bit of story telling mixed in with solid stats for making some extra gold.

[@wokeuplikethis5195]

As a warrior that does skinning and mining that struggles to make gold and with essences of water selling for 30-40g on my server, this was very very helpful.

[@MrFacesmasher]

Hi Frost! I really appreciate your videos, both in terms of entertainment and as educational. What I really enjoy is the mix of lore and facts, giving a good fantasy vibe and rp-feeling while at then same time gives you more in-game knowledge. I have skimmed through loot tables from classic databases doing some research and seeing a whole series about it is cool. Really your whole video is very smooth to watch also. Can't think of any constructive criticism really, I like it all.

[@Frostadamus]

Hey MrFacesmasher, Thanks for the feedback. It feels really good knowing people appreciate the work we put here (me and Sonia)

[@Servaris]

Your videos are underappreciated man. I really hope when Classic drops that you get the recognition and subs that you deserve. Cheers!

[@mujexzilla]

Mine are as well. In all honesty as long as youtube is run by a soulless algorithm, there's gonna be a ton of small / mid sized creators that don't get the recognition they deserve.

[@Sonja_TV]

Mine too, but we'll get there 😉

[@Maybenice86]

uhh almost 23k subs as a vanilla youtuber is far from underappreciated. Compare with tipsout etc, anyways frost really does a great job and his subs will climb. Needs some time tho :)

[@Sonja_TV]

René Klenk I like to round up 22.2k subs to 23k subs too sometimes 😋but the comparison you did there is a bit of, since tips has a bit more if I remember right. Anyways we have been starting to grow lately, I guess the Classic WoW community is growing too since the release announcement.

[@Maybenice86]

thing is, regular math doesnt work in youtube. I calculated that he gets regularly more subs, which means he is close to 23k :) Anyways thanks for your insight. Tips has 23.6k atm. So i think the comparsion is fine :)

[@andythedm3347]

Really well done! Not only is the grinding spot super informative, but I love that you gave a little lore lesson as to why things are the way they are in EPL.

[@Huxley906]

Havent really been that hyped about classic but recently been starting to watch your videos and getting back that old feeling. Subbed

Best Classic-Farm or maybe Classic in general Videos out there! This Video was perfect. Thats how we want it!

[@MrEriiko]

Great video. Detailed and will definately try this one. I actually grinded these when I happened to find the same as you say here, alot of good greys and evil bat eye can sell for 10-15s above vendor price. Nice with a bit of background aswell. Looking forward to whatever you throw at us in the future.

[@novack7635]

great video about Plagueland's and Shadow of Necropolis!!i was there,i'ts the best place to farming black lotus,and mining,i'm never forget this Land,first time i feel the summer is so far,hope all wow community come's back in Frost!Awesome gz man!!!!

Love the mix of lore and tips in your videos. So many of the KZbinrs who make videos about Classic are just ranting without saying anything useful, and it's tiresome.

Great video, the touches with the lore were excellent and will hit on a nostalgic level with many people who may no longer be playing, possibly pulling them back for classic. Subbed, keep it up!

best 4 min intro i've seen in a long time. thank you very much for that :D

[@Christian-mf1se]

I've watched this series and must say, these are really good. Most "gold making" videos consist of "get to 60 as soon as possible and farm specific crafting materials or dungeons to sell it on the AH". People forget that on a fresh server there is no money in the economy. In Vanilla all money on a server had to he painfully farmed by killing mobs and selling greys!

[@ryvrdrgn16]

Thanks. This format is pleasant to watch.

[@Sjiek696]

Hey Frost! I'm a big fan of your vids and can't wait for vanilla. I remember grinding gold back in the day in WPL Hearthglen and another elite spot in EPL (forgot the name). Not sure if it was a good spot gold/hr wise but it occasionally dropped some rare items. You remember if it was any good? Keep up the good work :D

[@jmagnum69]

Sorry if you've answered this before, but where did you get this neat footage of old stratholme / uncorrupted darrowmere? Is it some fan mod, and is it downloadable? Looks very cool

I got it from a Hayven games video. It's from the culling of stratholme.

​@@Frostadamus Ahh just found it, ty. Watched the whole video, really enjoyed it. A lot of this info is super important, and not only to people who played on Nostalrius / Elysium like us. Keep it up man, see ya on classic

[@monsiieurmathieu]

Dude this intro was epic ! Thanks great video once again

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

One thing I liked about vanilla wow was the economy and AH mechanics. I think they did decently well when it came to automatic gold farmers and people selling stuff, not letting it get TOO out of hand, and the economy was mostly stable on my server. I was on a pvp server though, and a high pop one at that, so these types of places were always filled with people and contested between both alliance and horde killing these off and each other. One thing I would do as a paladin was make badlands runs, just mining Iron and Mithril. It was rare to see a higher level running through there, so the lowbie 40's would leave me alone and vice versa. I could get stack and stacks of it, and that's a good time with engineering and blacksmithing when you need lots and lots to level through those levels to get up to the good stuff, so people were more willing to just go buy it. Also also, by the time you loop all the way around the zone, the nodes start respawning, so it works out perfectly. This alone funded 2 epic mounts.

[@garagar2625]

Hey Frost! I started playing classic on K3 about a month ago and your videos are amazing to listen to are while grinding as well as crazy helpful! Your Swaps of sorrow guide helped a ton for grinding gold! I know you probably got something in the works but something like the best gold grinding spots per 10 level bracket would be amazing! Keep up the amazing work :D

[@nickschiavone135]

Hey Frosty, I really like the videos. Very informative and I like all the lore!

[@Lastneuron66]

Who told you 13 minutes was too long of a video? Longer videos means more information, leading to more gold. Keep up the great work.

[@GordonMck]

I liked to hang around the Noxious Glade and Hearthglen while farming gold to buy a mount. Managed to get a Krol Blade and Stockade Pauldrons - both from Noxious Glade. The human mobs drop silver, the occasional grey weapon that vendors for ~1g50s, and rune cloth. Runecloth can be sold on the auction house, or made into bandages that vendor for 2g per stack of 20.

[@SamSam-bg6ok]

Awesome job on your videos, love it ! keep up the good work !

[@MW-cx3sb]

What i love is that every gold farming video hasnt shown the farming spot i did the most for mobs that drop good loot n coin.

[@Gyva02]

oh it's coming, lol..

[@LilItaly]

I know this is an older video but damn I really appreciate the effort put into your channel man.

[@Frostadamus]

Thanks man :) I went a bit to excited with the lore here :D

[@aBanabis]

here's a tip. Scalding Whelp's in badlands have a .09% chance to drop a "Dark Whelpling". I know it's a low drop rate, but these guys are actually VERY efficient to level grind off of.. and if you do level grind off of them for about 4-5 levels or whatever...you'll end up getting a few of these. I think when I did them, I got about 6 of them or so...which i ended up selling on the AH for 250 gold each. EACH. that's an epic mount before I even hit 60. ;) just a heads up. GL

[@madmandan4216]

Really great. Starting with the areas lore was great. I loved the maps and prices shown on screen.

[@peter486]

ive been waiting for 10 years on the Krollblade drop :) i love farming anything to do with Argent dawn. because its always dark and Gothic :) EP is a good choice.

[@Fingolfin3423]

I was doing this 12-14 years ago when it was current content. Good times. I watch videos like this and start to think about all of the people who want to either go back to Classic servers or try them for the first time. They're going to be in for a rude awakening when they realize they'll actually have to grind like this to survive if they want to successfully raid and be part of something that actually lasts.

[@Frostadamus]

True, grinding was not something optional in vanilla. Kinda feel bad for people that does not exactly now whats coming :P

Back on my server Larval Acid was a lot more worth than 5g, it was closer to 15-20g but I suppose that depends on the server. I like watching your videos man :)

[@KristianLindbjerg]

Winterfall teddybears are probably my fav 60 grinding spot. Not only are they humanoids, drop Juju and firewater. You also gain reputation, which makes you feel like you working towards something other than monetary reasons.

[@Frostadamus]

I really love that spot Kristian. Hopefully it wont be overpopulated in classic like on private servers.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

all these frost 'rags to riches' videos still hold up

[@Schwann_Audio]

The att speed debuff is good for hunters with the slow tank bear as it helps the bear hold aggro. I would have farmed yeti but now I'll go there. Nice tip man!

The 1:00-4:00 is so great storytime part with the visuals. You should do some lore videos as well! :O

[@closedworld3258]

I discovered this spot about 6 months ago on my mage, and it used to provide me with quick gold whenever I needed it, but as you said it gets tedious and boring due to the debuffs the bats cast on you, so it wastes more time moving from one mob to the other specially the movement speed debuff. However, if you must make some gold either to pay a debt or buy an item from the auction house before it expires, this is the place to be.

[@Frostadamus]

Yea. Tedious, boring and annoying. But my secret is to swap between spots:P I try the demons in aszhara for felcloth, next day maybe felwood for essence of water and so on.

[@madskofoed5339]

Excellent guide. Thanks for the advise. I'm an avid grinder, and was looking for a spot after hitting 58, that I can just do while watching tv.

[@Relbl]

I always found SM Cathedral and Library nukes were fun - loads of coin as well as cloth that sells very well. I never did the math, but I'd imagine it's competitive at 40g an hour though more reliant on the AH (if silk cloth goes for 1.5g per stack and mageweave 2g). Also the bosses usually drop weapons that are worth 50s - 2g each; two bosses each dungeon, 5 runs an hour easy = 20g just from vendoring the boss drops

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

Plus you can sometimes find a person willing to pay you to run them through a couple times for loot drops.

[@Beljk0]

I love how he says Scourge, sounds like Scorch

[@fredriksvard2603]

For a rogue is easy at tyr's hand :P

[@Juliusde100]

Evil bag eye sells also well at the actionhouse because for the dark moon faire.

[@jaymay6266]

You should make a video on a RFK Grind. You can clear all bosses rather quick and professions don't make much difference so it's universal. Kill extra trash based off timer of instance per/hour cap. Vendor at Camp T. You can easily make 50g an hour with vendoring doing this, no competition, no pvp. Theoretically you can get a epic mount in less than 24 hours without ever leaving barrens the moment you hit 60. The grind is tiresome and will make you never want to do RFK again but it's a pretty good deal for horde. Not sure about an alliance vendor nearby. Ratchet is a option though. Mage water/food is extremely useful for this. They still hurt.

[@austinhensley6553]

As far as bats go, from a warrior mains standpoint, the lower level plague bats in the south are much better because of the warriors ability to be more or less immune to fears. The lower levels of the bats and lower hp as well as higher density means you have less downtime between kills, kill the mobs faster, and dont have to spend as much on food or bandages. For rogues and feral druids who don't have access to 3 ways to break fear I would recommend the monstrous bats in the north however.

[@Rohirrim009]

Im actually bookmarking your videos on chrome for when classic releases. I played vanilla but forgotten 90% of the game content.

[@thetypingape2073]
