Where's a great place to grind cash, except elemental plataeu and doing quests?

i'm trying out the level 58-60 fel orcs along the path of glory (?) in HFP, the ones up on the ridge. they drop anywhere from 1-16s, some cloth, and occasionally some greens. last night i only made about 10g or so in dropped silver in one hour, but iirc 5-10 stacks of runecloth and (if they sell at their listed price) 20g or so in greens.

i have to compare my hourly rate there to my rate at elemental plateau, kirin'tor village and the huge mound in nagrand...

If I'm going to grind mobs, I usually stick to the ones that will give me rep at the same time. The Ogres and Kil'Sorrow mobs in Nagrand will give you rep with either Kuranai or Mag'har plus they drop rep items. They also all drop a lot of cloth, coin and good vender trash. The Warbeads are soulbound so if you don't need those for your own rep, do the Kil'Sorrows for Marks (and even occasional Fel Armaments) that you can sell.

I also sometimes grind on elementals but I avoid the Elemental Plateau. I usually grind primals that I need for crafting but I seem to remember the mobs in Netherstorm have decent drop rates on Motes of Mana and Shadow and both of those Primals sell quite well on my server. The gray stuff that the elementals drop venders decently as well.

If Arakkoa Feathers sell well, you could grind on the camps right outside of Shatt. They are easy to kill and drop a lot of cloth too.


I get the most gold from questing though eventually I will finally finish most of them and will have to rely on the dailies that I can do. I wish it were easier to get to the Ogri'La dailies as those three required group quests are a big hurdle.

An extremely underrated grinding spot is Kirin'var Village in Netherstorm, on the Mageslayers and Mana Seekers. Easy mobs, warrior-friendly (not as much for my mage but still not bad), and a real nice drop rate on Motes of Mana.

I wish it were so underrated on my server. There are times when it can be pretty competitive there but the respawn rate is pretty good so the area can handle several farmers/questers at a time.


For Motes of Shadow I was grinding around Manaforge Ultris but only one of the void mob types is Warrior Friendly. The other type sometimes fears and with the cliffs and slimes around, it can be deadly.

i grinded the hell out of dm east to get my epic flyer.

you can hit 3 bosses in about 20 min... some of the bop's vendored for 5g, some of the boe's are still worth 100+g.

it's really great for herbal/miners: lots of high end herbs and 2-4 rich thorium veins per run.

plus you can vendor/repair in the dm north library. a bag of vendor trash typically netted 60g.

the last boss can get kind of tricky with all the adds at the end... a stack of ez throw will make things go better. on the plant pulls before him i broke 800 dps (as protection mind you) spamming tclap > ww > cleave > cleave > tclap > cleave > ww just right.

Axhed - I've never been in DM. I would imagine that one could skip the bosses and just hope for the BOEs or are the bosses necessary to get the good BOEs?

I like soloing instances but I haven't tried to solo anything higher than RFK though I'm sure I can handle RFD and Ulda (minus final boss of course) as well.
