(Level: 33-36) Crushridge Ogres (Alterac Mountains) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=2252&zoneid=2001
I've ran through here, I never personally grinded here but it is a viable spot, the mobs are kinda spread out though

(Level: 33-36) Scorpid Reavers/Terrors - Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=4140&zoneid=1018
same as before

(Level: 33-40) Saltstone Basilisks - Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=4158&zoneid=1018
The Basilisks are grouped nicely but personally there are not enough to make it worthwhile

(Level: 33-38) Lost One Muckdwellers (Swamp of Sorrows) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=760&zoneid=2019
Now this spot is amazing. I catagorized this spot into 5 pulls. 2 up at the top camp and three down at the camp below. I did this area until level 41-42

(Level: 35-38) Mirefin Murlocs - NE of Zone (Dustwallow Marsh) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=4359&zoneid=1007
The next best spot, For a frost mage i'd advise doing this spot until 44, just a filler until you get your next blizzard

(Level: 35-38) Syndicate Humans - North of Zone [One Caster per Camp] (Alterac Mountains) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=2245&zoneid=2001

The casters make this a pain

(Level: 39-44) Woodpaw Gnolls (Feralas) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=5258&zoneid=1009
The gnolls have a few ranged mobs, so as a frost mage I did not find this spot to be suitable

(Level: 40-43) Grimtotem Tauren (Feralas) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=7726&zoneid=1009

(Level: 40-45) Southsea Pirates (Tanaris) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=7855&zoneid=1015
Ahhh now LOST RIGGER COVE is where its at. On my server not many people grind this area. I catagorized the area into 5 pulls, will last me until 52. At level 51 im able to grind 40k/hr.

(Level: 46-51) Nethergarde Humans (Blasted Lands) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=5996&zoneid=2004
Good spot to level besides the fact of not being able to mount in the mine, a few ranged mobs, not advised unless you have no other option

(Level: 47-50) Northspring Harpies (Feralas) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=5364&zoneid=1009
Have alot of casters mixed in with them

(Level: 49-55) Jaedenar Forces (Felwood) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=7125&zoneid=1008
Just a bad spot

(Level: 50-52) Felstone Fields [Few Casters] (Western Plaguelands) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=1785&zoneid=2023
The casters don't make it worthwhile in my opinion

(Level: 50-54) Warpwood Elementals (Felwood) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=7100&zoneid=1008

(Level: 53-54) Dalson's Tears [Fear] (Western Plaguelands) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=10580&zoneid=2023
Very good area, being UD and having WOTF helps alot. I do 4 pulls in this area, and since wotf is a 2 minute cooldown i have it for both of the fear pulls that i do. Personally i will be doing this area until 60 probaly, unless i find somewhere else. I may try Writhing Haunt, dunno though.

(Level: 54-56) Scarlet Lumberjacks (Western Plaguelands) http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/map.html?wmob=1884&zoneid=2023

IN-^$*%ing-credible. Nice list.



These spots are great, the opposing faction might interfere though, rarely though.

Rate up! =P

I call for a sticky

Not that good, most of these, if not all, are Horde only. Where are the Alliance spots ???

I vote sticky also

Ok i added my own opinions to most of the spots mentioned. I cannot vouch for the lower level spots seeing as i did not start aoe grinding until 30. Keep in mind that I am a frost mage aoe spec and i solo everything, no priest needed :). hopefully the insight helps

Hmmmm thats odd echou. From stoneard just go East, you might be going to farth north, best of luck to you though :)

I went to the Mirefen Murlocs in Dustwallow Marsh instead. I can't get a clear pull with the Lost One Muckdwellers.

I've had some mixed success with the murlocs but the time lost by dying quickly offset any gains I made by AoE grinding. The big problem with the murlocs is that the area is very cramped. There isn't enough room to run around and there are many obstacles that obstruct both your movement and view. One small mistake and you're dead.

I've been trying to find alternative spots that are not as enclosed but can't find anything suitable in my level range. I'm level 41 at the moment. Another poster commented that he couldn't find anywhere to do this for this level range either.

I'd suggest going to swamp of sorrows and doing those Murlocs until 44, thats what i did. Just head to the East coast and you can get about 5 solid pulls back and forth. You dont head all the way up to the coast, about mid way then just run back, past that there are alot of casters.

I just hit 44 too. The pirates are nice xp but no where near 40k for me. So many people all around killing them for the quests. And if you run your kite anywhere near people it often aggros them and they get pretty pissed lol.. But oh well its something new and should last awhile.

So I tried Lost Rigger Cove and it's awesome. But yeah, still not hitting 40K xp/hr. The best I've gotten so far is 25K to near 30K xp/hr. Still, it is much better than before.

And again, I died a lot at first because I did not know where to roundup the pirates and avoid the ranged pirates (freebooters or something). But fortunately, I remembered the vids on youtube.com where a UD mage recorded three different pulls in this area. I watched the vids again and mimicked his pulls. There are 3 pulls:

(1) Enter fenced pirate camp and head left. You may have to take out a few pirates one-on-one. There is a ship at the end of a pier. You want to make your way to the canons on the left side of the pier where there should be two pirates. You want to start your pull here, move towards the cannons on the right side of the pier to aggro the pirates there, and then head straight down the pier; grabbing the pirates along the way. The 2 pirates on the far left end of the pier should be the last ones you aggro. Then head to the far right corner of pier, dismount, nova, and blink towards the start of the pier (i.e. towards land). Then do your Blizzard/CoC/Nova cycle.

(2) Once this group is done. Move back towards land and head left (towards the water and away from the entrance of camp). You will see a ship being worked on by pirates. There will be 2 or 3 of them underneath the end of the ship closest to water. You'll have to swim outside of aggro range and towards the other side of the ship. Here there will be a fence. Stay on the side of the fence closest to water. This is an important area because when you mess up a pull, always head to this side of the fence and make your way to the water. Keep swimming until you lose aggro (blink whenever you can). When ready, start your pull by aggroing the pirates underneath the end of the ship you swam past, head straight (towards front of ship) and grab the 2 pirates working underneath the front end of ship (they will be on your right hand side). Make a sharp left turn and grab the two standing on the side of the building. Head up the ramp where there are 2 more pirates. You will be forced to dismount. Stand at the far edge of the platform (nearest to water) and wait til all the pirates go up the ramp after you then strafe off the platform. The pirates won't jump, instead they will run back down the ramp. This gives you several seconds to recast Ice Barrier and prepare your nova. Make sure all the pirates have made it down the ramp and are grouped tightly and then nova. Blink towards the water and begin Bliz/CoC/Nova cycle.

(3) Last pull also starts at the end of the fence. This time you ride towards camp and grab pirates on the left side (in front of the door to the cabin, there should be 2 pirates). Aggro the 3 or 4 pirates around the campfire in front of the cabin and then head back towards where you started. Dismount, and make sure they are grouped tightly before Nova. Also watch out as sometimes the pirates INSIDE the cabin may chase you as well. They tend to arrive a bit late so you have to keep an eye on them. Dismount and you know what to do.

At first, I had a LOT of failures and then I realized the problem. Too often, at least one of the pirates would resist my Frost Nova. The pirates are mostly lvl 45 but I'm only lvl 44. And also, I realized that for some stupid reason I did not put 3 talent points into Elemental Precision (i.e. 6% extra chance frost/fire spells do not get resisted). I put 'em into like IAM or something dumb.

My nova was getting resisted WAY too often and so I just bit the bullet and re-specced AGAIN lol.

With the full 3 points in Elemental Precision I have yet to have any pirate resist my nova and am having much greater success.

Thanks Kamuii for the pull groups. I think I'll try pulling them in this order next time and see if it increases my xp/hr. Right now, I average about 30k xp/hr if I don't die :P

This is my usual order of doing things:

1) Ice Barrier
2) Mount
3) Gather
4) Dismount and strafe
5) Frost Nova
6) Blink
7) Blizzard
8) Blizzard again
9) Step backwards + Cone of Cold
10) Strafe + Frost Nova
11) Blizzard
12) Finish off any stragglers that are running (if any)

Sometimes I find that its hard to get the mobs grouped tightly together because if I'm gathering a wider area, several of them will arrive later than the others. Any tips on avoiding/preventing this?

Thanks :)
