Low-40s
The Badlands is a great place to hunt. There are quite a few collection quests that can
be picked up in Kargath that lead you to hunt basically all the wildlife in the Badlands.
There are also a couple to be picked up in the Valley of Fangs near the center of the
zone. Coyotes don’t have any special abilities whatsoever so they can be easy to defeat
repeatedly since there are fields of at least 40 at a time that walk in paths that don’t
intermingle too much. There is a 55 elite giant buzzard that wanders the middle section
of the Badlands.
Also in the Badlands are the Ogres which are like every other ogre everywhere. The only
easy humanoids to grind in the Badlands however and they aren’t a terrible choice for
their humanoid drops. They also don’t flee when they near low health which is a plus.
There is also a wandering pack of ogres led by Boss Thog’run. Just move out of the way
if you happen to run into them.
In Feralas not far from Camp Mojache there is a Woodpaw Gnoll camp. This area is very
spread out and you will never run out of monsters to fight. One thing of note is that you
should probably not venture too close to the tents or camp-fires as there are usually 3-4
mobs around them that will aggro at the same time. For the most part, the gnolls are
easy to defeat, but they run. There is a quest string that requires you to hunt these gnolls
and is quite rewarding.
Mid-40s
In Tanaris there is a large section devoted to the Wastewander Bandits. They are for the
most part very low armor and easy to defeat. Their camp is rather sprawling and you can
hunt each monster without having too much trouble with others interfering. There are
stealthed patrollers that should be swept out first before moving onto the others. There is
also a quest to slay different types of Wastewanders as well as collect their waterskins.
These waterskins are stackable and can be turned in repeatedly for “care-packages” and
a small increment of experience.
Nagas in Stranglethorn Vale, just north of Booty Bay are an excellent source of
experience as well.
Upper-40s
The Hinterlands are an outstanding grinding area as well. Especially the Altar of Zul
trolls provides not only great experience, but you got a good chance of wildvine as well.
The herb sells for 1 gold each in the AH and together with the Mageweave drops, this
spot can really be recommended for gold and experience farming. If you are playing an
Alliance character, you can turn in the necklaces the trolls drop for extra experience, as
horde player you can sell them in the AH in Gadgetzan.
In Tanaris you can hunt Ogres in the south-western part of the zone. They hit quite hard,
but like all Ogres they do not run and have humanoid drops. There are two chests in the
area which are another source for good equipment.
Low-50s
In Western Plaguelands, the first farm known as Felstone Field has very reliable
monsters that always spawn in the same area. In time, this area can be an excellent
place to farm experience and money. If you are working on raising your Reputation with
the Argent Dawn: you can farm Minion’s Scourgestones very quickly by defeating the
monsters here. As you gain in level you can also move on to Dalson’s Tears and
Writhing Haunt which are very similar but contain higher level monsters. There is a chain
of quests that can be accomplished while you hunt that start at the Bulwark at the border
of Tirisfal Glades and the Eastern Plaguelands.
In Felwood, the Jaedenar complex is ideal. There are a lot of humanoid targets that can
be pulled singularly, and they are primarily. The underground areas are mostly double
aggro, so these should not be attempted solo for maximum efficiency. This area is on
the west central portion of Felwood, and you can pick up a number of quests here from
the Emerald Sanctuary to the south near Ashenvale.
Alternately there are also the Jadefire Satyrs. Be careful however, there are stealthed
units that patrol regularly. Try to pull all the non-stealthed ones separately, then meander
in slowly until one of the sneaking ones jumps you. These mobs use a slowing poison
very often. If you happen to have a Demonslaying enchant on your weapon these mobs
may be a better target as you would make short work of them. There are also 2 quests
to be done here from Bloodvenom Post, on the far west side at the end of the river
running through the middle of Felwood.
Upper-50s
In Winterspring there is a frozen lake where there are a number of monsters that are
spaced far apart that can be defeated while going in a circle around the lake. At an even
pace you will never run out of monsters to fight in this way.
