The Unofficial World of Warcraft Mage Guide-chapter005
If you have mining head to Tanaris and
walk around the edge of the zone. If you follow the mountains on the edge of the map you will have a very good chance of finding Mithril and Truesilver deposits. By the time you have made it all the way around most of the points will have respawned and you can mine them again. All of the Mithril bars and stones sell for several gold per stack.
When you reach the high thirties head
to northern Stranglethorn and grind on the Bloodscalp trolls in the Kalia, Zuuldaia and Balal ruins. Theses areas
-221-
At level forty five the Southsea Pirate
they are one of only two mobs that drop the recipe for Elixir of the Mongoose.
base in Tanaris is a great place to load up on cash and Mageweave cloth. This area has lots of mobs close together that drop cash and Mageweave but also occasionally drop a Pirate’s Footlocker. Usually the chest contains junk, but sometimes it has a treasure key that can be used to open a chest in one of the ships. This chest has a high chance of having a BOE blue item inside that can be sold for several gold.
In the northern part of the Western
Plaugelands is a Scarlet Crusade stronghold. The normal mobs here drop Runecloth and cash. But the real reason you’re here is to kill the Scarlet Spellbinders. They have a very low chance of dropping the formula for the Crusader Weapon enchant. Since the Burning Crusade has come out very few people farm it anymore and can go for several hundred gold on the AH. It is VERY dependent on luck though because the drop rate is so very low. So unless you have a lot of patience you may want to try somewhere else.
If you have both skinning and mining
At level 52 a great grinding place is
leveled to three hundred you can make an incredible amount of money in the Ice Thistle Hills in Winterspring. East and south of Everlook you will find a large gathering of Yetis with a giant cave at the top of the hill. Inside the cave are Icethistle Patriarchs and Matriarchs that when skinned have a ninety percent chance of dropping Rugged leather. I have been to many areas with skinable mobs and this would have to be the best because of the close grouping and fast respawns. The other reason this cave is great is that it have lots of thorium spawns, including four rich ones. During the course of an hour and a half I would normally walk
Felstone Field and Dalsons Tears in the western plaguelands. These areas are loaded with undead mobs that spawn quickly and drop Runecloth. The reason this area is special is because you will be able to grind reputation with the Argent Dawn and collect Scourge stones at the same time. And since it is filled with undead you’ll have an easer time fighting.
Another good place to farm in the low
