The 11 World Rares that Drop Blue Loot in Classic WoW

[@Klaital1]

You missed one, there is a stealthed gnoll who spawns in a small cave in the east parts of redridge mountains, near Lieutnant Fangore, who drops a really nice blue dagger.

[@HyperlordB]

He also spawns near 2 gnolls and a chest sometimes (i've checked this location a lot).

[@sc3639]

Is it BoE? He is only doing BoE Blues

[@ecroslin3074]

Rohh the silent drops blackvenom blade a boe blue

[@jaredbowers9503]

Got this dagger while questing with my Rogue (also my first character). My bro Rohh scared the absolute sh*t out of me and my friend, and when he dropped the dagger we flipped. That thing served me in my main hand through my 20s and early 30s, and then my offhand until level 40. I keep it in my bank because of the absolute legend that it is

[@zheckman89]

Really liked your straight forward content oriented approach to this video. No fuss, no mess, short intro, right to the point, would love to see more content of this kind in the future!

[@Arkae]

Thanks Zack, i got you.

[@aBlackMage]

Informative content presented purely from a gameplay perspective with no unnecessary tangents? That's pretty much unheard of, and you got my sub for it.

[@Arkae]

Thanks a lot mage. If you ever get bored of this format though lemme know. I can definitely sprinkle in some pointless rants.

[@timpeterson5164]

I could listen to your voice for hours. So smooth and yet so crisp. The video is well done and to the point. Good work!

[@Arkae]

Hey thanks Tim thats real nice of you to say, glad you liked the video.

[@jajb9110]

Short and to the point. All i would want is some knowledge on the items. for example if they are better or worse than a equal level dungeon or quest drop.

[@Arkae]

Ill think about that aspect going forward, but i do like this concise format. Adding a comparative dynamic would make it significantly longer.

[@dann3boy]

@@Arkae I'd love to have a video to check for comparison but its inefficient af. A google.doc linked to it would not increase the length of the video but still offer the comparison option. Win-win?

[@gullywood5688]

@@Arkae Also, wouldnt hurt to see what they look like and why theyre so good (30s for each item max) what do you think?

[@jamesallan9395]

Couple more I can think of are Boahan, who patrols just outside the Wailing caverns and drops a 2h blue axe. And Nimar the Slayer, a Troll in the big troll camp near Hamnerfall. He drops a blue cape with agility and strength iirc.

[@xBDE]

How do you only have 500 subs lmao, your sound really confident on camera and have just enough humor in the videos that it remains serious. Nice work

[@Arkae]

I wish i knew man. Its fine though im just gonna put out stuff i would enjoy watching myself, and i think more subs will come. Or not lmao. Ty for the support.

[@somguy5035]

He's only 5-months in. Just a matter of views and "people who watch x also watched..." happening, b/c yea everyone commenting here is noticing what you have.

[@NeonTwirl]

Because he sounds like a highschool student standing in front of class and excitedly reading out his report on whatever subject he finds interesting...a sort of saccharine exuberance.

[@chedruid]

A few pointers: Some unique greens are exceptionally good for their level range, like "Naraxis' Fang" (lvl:22/ilvl:27 poisonous dagger), "Black Widow Band" (lvl:19 twink ring, +7int), "Ghoulfang" (lvl:14 2H sword with powerful proc) and "Tidal Charm" (lvl:36 trinket, 3sec stun, you keep it for the whole iteration of vanilla) to name a few. I also think you might missed a few blue items, like "Blackvenom Blade", a super fun item to acquire, as the mob that holds it engages in stealth and tries to ambush you (~200 uncrit dmg backstab if he opens on you). I would also argue that you should use any kind of good weapon you find if you are a melee class. Regardless I really liked this video and your editing, I'd love to see a new video with the best green unique world rare drops :) Edit: fixed typos.

[@Arkae]

Thanks Che, and yeah i missed a few mobs unfortunately. They are all pinned at the top now, including the Gnoll you've mentioned. Doing another video for notable greens is definitely a possibility.

[@Augury13]

Even though you've taken a different approach with this channel, I'm glad you've left helpful videos up like this ^^

[@Arkae]

Of course man. I still love WoW and i put a lot of effort into those videos so i definitely wouldnt take em down.

[@dallascowboyshighlights9632]

It’s funny to see all these old school items with Spirit as a stat.

[@Sweetguy1821]

What about the goblin outside uldaman? He drops the miners helmet

[@Arkae]

Added to pin, thank you!

[@CharlieHolcane]

@@Arkae i farm Nimar the Slayer in Arathi Highlands for Dark Hooded Cape which has very high agility for a lower lvl blue cape

[@christerknutsen8031]

Not sure if they fall in different category, but you also have the 3 rare mobs spawning in the Dire Maul arena, though they dont have a specific blue item they drop they do always drop blue items by random

[@jamdaw508]

MY BOY OUT HERE REVOLUTIONIZING THE KZbin GAME, keep up the good work dawg

[@Arkae]

My guyyy lmao, thanks bro.

[@Icosiol]

Good stuff! Information I wasn’t aware of! Keep’em coming.

[@Arkae]

Gotchu.

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

Just a slight aside. High-level randomly enchanted greens can be the best items you can get for next to nothing. If you can get the right enchantment, they can fill some gaps in your gear, particularly for those item slots that have low drop chances, or that can be used by multiple classes, so you can keep losing the roll.

[@Arkae]

Yeah i agree. Any high end +damage/healing greens are very useful.

[@ScribbleKith]

Interesting info. Also really unique video idea, and very well executed. GJ man, excellent video.

[@Arkae]

Tyvm! Its very rare to find a legitimate gap in information in this ancient game, so i thought i'd fill it.

[@kingofBFH]

1:00 i got the blue orb on a wrath pserver once lol (blizzlike ofc) but heirlooms were a thing so never really bothered too much about it

[@joshcote2635]

You missed Digmaster Shovelflange who spawns outside of Ulduman and has a chance to drop the Expert Gold Miner's Helmet or Shovelflange's Mining Axe

[@howto3764]

Add Boahn, Night Elf Rare in Wailing Caverns, dropping his 2H AXE

[@Arkae]

Copy, making a sticky. Ty.

[@TheAngelRaven]

I randomly clicked on this video and then noticed how old it was.

[@vandals4873]

Great content! I'm gonna hunt down at least a couple of these rares. Subbed.

[@Arkae]

Tyvm Vandal :)

[@Sc4r4byte]

be *especially* on the watch out for Chan's Imperial Robes They have a very sought after spider design, shared by very few robes. The color of Chan's Imperial Robes however is shared by robes that drop in Naxx. That's 5 phases where these golden spider robes will be a completely unique and eye catching look for all cloth wearers!

[@Arkae]

Yeah they actually do look sick. For anyone that wants to see for themselves: classicdb.ch/?item=17050

[@csheadtrip]

Short and sweet. Great vid!

[@Arkae]

Thanks Geoff, appreciate it man.

[@curb6353]

i know of 7 more rares that arent mentioned here that drop boe blue. 2 of which are inside wailing caverns near the entrance.

[@Matthew-uv6gl]

You said there were exceptions, but just expanding on that: Blue items in general are not common, rare mob or otherwise, at lower levels. Even in lower dungeons many of the bosses still drop some green items. Because of that, there are a number of green items from rares that are very much desired for their green items. The immediate one in my mind is Nimar's Headdress, a green circlet from a rare enemy in Arathi Highlands. Whitemane's Chapeau is better, but requires you to run SM Cath, which many people will pair up with Armory to get a tank to join, and possibly competing on the roll with other casters. Where as Nimar's Headdress is "close enough" on stats and can potentially be found much quicker. It is worth pointing out because if you look at caster cloth head items, there really isn't much better than Whitemane's until Mara/ST except perhaps a tailoring item like Dreamweave. Not that I suggest farming Nimar's, however if you happen across this NPC early on and get the item and don't plan on farming for Whitemane's, it will likely last you until level 54 or so, perhaps even longer. Not bad for a green item from Arathi Highlands.

[@Arkae]

I dont disagree. Theres a degree of diminishing returns when it comes to acquiring certain items. Sometimes its better to just settle with a lower tier item and not waste time trying to get the hypothetically 10% better variant. That being said, the purpose of this video isnt really about what items make the most sense to obtain, based on time and longevity. More about making people aware of certain items existence period. I excluded prominent greens from this list because theyve been covered to death from what ive seen.

[@Matthew-uv6gl]

@@Arkae Yeah I know mate. It is just my ackchually moment, let me have it :D Like I said, I was aware you mentioned there are exceptions.

[@ilikeartica]

for real love your videos just excellent execution

[@Arkae]

Thanks a lot man :)

[@Eddysamson1]

There's actually 3 rarespawns that drop blues near WC/the first one in your vid. Go into WC and right outside the instance portal are 2 more. One is in the pool of water directly across from the portal and can drop a blue mail belt with 8 str or a 13 dps 1H axe both blue. If you're facing the portal and go left you can find Boahn who drops an awesome 2H Axe with a ton of crit rating for the level. Boahn can be in a few spots but always left of the portal.

[@Ayakigu]

what about Nimar the Slayer in Arathi?

[@Antero94]

You missed a rare spawn outside the dungeon in WC. I killed a night elf there the other day who dropped a lvl 16 2H axe called Boahn's Fang.

[@fandabidozi3191]

I'm gonna enchant em and wear until 60 then put em in my bank and wonder how i never have any space.

[@Pomodorosan]

Are you saying "minority" or "monardi"?

[@Arkae]

Use context clues.

[@martinfischer9724]

You forgot about the Goblin outside Uldaman who can drop rare 1 handed and rare helmet which gives +7 axe skill.. look him up.

[@samwisedidier7312]

2:45 is that troll a lord of the rings reference?

Good question, not sure. Wows full of references though.

Good video. Wished you would’ve read the stats on the items and spent a little more time on each explaining who might use the item (twink, good tank item for XYZ dungeon, etc). I usually listen to these videos, so reading the stats would help a lot for that

[@Arkae]

Thanks Aaron. And yeah i get that but i wanted to keep this video short and all that would make it significantly longer. Ultimately most ppl arent going to be finding more than a couple of this items relevant to them.

I wish huzzah was still doing his guide on all rares.

really enjoy your videos. keep it up

[@Arkae]

Thanks a lot dude, real glad you like my stuff.

[@realbigtrees]

@@Arkae no problem, i legit look forward to it. i love your delivery. the only thing i woulda changed about this vid was maybe, try to show what the item looked like if it had a model to view and maybe describe why it was sought after possibly, and maybe what the respawn timers where like for these individual rares. cant wait for your next video!

[@Arkae]

I looked into respawn times for the mobs and found that many ranges provided are just absurdly large. It didnt feel accurate enough to warrant inclusion. Youre right, including the weapon/items appearance would've been a nice touch. Will probably do that in the future. I also thought about comparing the items with similar level dungeon equivalents, but i think that would add a lot of extra time. Wanted this to be pretty concise.

[@marshallhill2283]

Sweet video, man! Keep up the nice work. Also I find it funny that Changuk Smasher has worse stats (albeit 1 handed) than the Crescent Staff (Wailing Caverns quest reward)

[@Arkae]

Well thats just depressing. Also has an F tier name lol.

[@GoodCookiesUnite]

Very high quality. You should provide lore or a little background for longer video time

I appreciate the brevity. However, map locations and wardrobe models would have been nice.

[@Arkae]

I regret not showing them on models and doing custom map locations. I actually had all of their locations/maps ready to go from other sources, but found later on that many of them were misleading and ultimately didn't include them.

[@Witn3s]

wouldve been nice if you quickly summarized the items instead of just the name

Conscious decision to avoid basically doubling the time of the video. Wanted this to be concise.

[@robertjoseph3134]

Because of videos like this, casual players will no longer stumble upon rare spawns like they did in 2006. Instead the authenticity of the game is compromised and will not be the same game we grew up playing.

[@Arkae]

The authenticity of the game is already wildly compromised, dont be naive. All of this information is already available for those who look for it, just like every other aspect of both WoW and every other game in 2019.
