Same here, can't wait for the release date announce so I can book a 2-week vacation! Maybe I will regret it but screw girls, screw dating, screw beach I'm gonna play classic wow!
as Horde with skinning I'd farm the Pesterhide Hyenas in the thousand needles (25-29), insane grey item value per hour, finanzed my mount solely from that spot with a nice route near the vendors
Nice, I remembers Hyenas in Barrens/Thousand needles dropping gray's which vendor for 6 silver each and stacks to 5 items. It's such a pleasure to return from questing and selling several stacks for 30silver each =)
Frost your videos are great. This one was a little short with just 13min. The lore parts are also always entertaining. I dont get the people complaining... dont change your style! All the best from Deutschland
Thanks man, I'm not going to change the style on the series because some people consider them to long. Just doing what I enjoy doing :) Thanks for the feedback :P
Frostadamus, you're really beginning to make a name of yourself in the Classic community. Your videos are entertaining and very informative. Keep up the great work.
Anyone reminded of the video Associate Professor Evil kills all gold farmers from Oxhorn over a decade ago when he mentioned the ogre grinding spot & gold farmers? Good guide as usual regardless!
It will be interesting to see the data of drops and how acculturate they are to live servers. I remember the elite ogre's in lochmodan had a much better loot table compared to the cluster fuck that is loot tables on private servers. Not to mention deliberate nerfs in some other places. Cough DM runs Errhem. sorry something caught in my neck hole.
I've just been grinding since level 13. Already have 2 14 slot bags and 3 12 slot bags, 3g, and all my useful spells at 22. Even ran deadmines a couple times, got the corsair shirt and cookies wand. Ran sfk got the cloth shoulders. Can't wait to grind at max level and make B A N K!
Love your videos man. I usually grind in the crypts just south of the ogres in deadwind pass and have pretty good luck. The mobs repop pretty fast and they are somewhat close to each other.
Pre 40 mount gold farming, I liked SM grave yard. It was instanced so no competition. Elites did take time but dropped great vendor trash plus a chance at the steel chain
Frost, as alliance, this spot is amazing $$ as light feather is mostly from harpies and that creature is mostly only in horde zone. That cave also have grp quest which can become crowded. This is one of my favorite grinding spot as an alliance druid / rogue so you dont gank constantly. I purchase mounts from that cave numerous time. Cheer
In Deadwind pass there's a road that just kind of forms a ring in the middle of the zone, it just has vultures fairly spread out. At level 60 the vultures are easy enough to kill and have a very consistent drop rate of high value grey stuff, along with the expected random world drops. It's can be a fairly lucrative if boring place to farm. Essentially you just run the ring, and by the time you come around the vultures have respawned. Not a lot of fussing with the AH on this one. Vanilla fact, this was a popular location for bots back in the day, it was such a simple area to path that you would see bots farming the area. It was a good place to learn how they functioned. If you tagged a mob, they would just kill it with the same set of skills and then try and loot it. Occasionally it would get stuck. A note about this location it can't handle more then two or so people farming it, so it's not great all the time. But good if you need a change.
@@Frostadamus Looking at an old loot table you can skin them. I was blacksmith back in the day, so I don't remember. The mobs are called Sky Shadow, and the big appeal is a slow safe cash flow. You aren't likely to run up a big repair bill on these, you'll make good money on the gray drops. They also drop some useful crafting mats, buzzard wings, giant eggs, mystery meat, iron feathers. Honestly I'd probably put the area as 2nd or 3rd choice. Other places get full I would go here for no competition. They are also 55+ mobs, which means their world drops are 55+. Most people think of the .01% boe drops at this point, but there's a better thing to look for. Randomly stat greens. There's a bunch of high level green sets (by name only, no set bonus) that have random attributes. Councillor is cloth, Wanderer is leather, Ornate is mail, Templar is plate. These can actually end up being preraid BIS for a lot of people and can fetch a lot of gold. They can also be trash. You have to know what people are looking for, but knowledgeable people will pay for them. The birds aren't special in dropping these, they are just a safe place to farm. Maybe your class isn't the best at burning down mobs or what have you. Any mob 55+ can drop them.
Just finished grinding this spot for almost 3 hours, only got about 7 stacks of rune cloth, 0 mana pots / health, 4 greys, 1 green, all total I made after selling and raw mob grind.. about 24-26 gold..
Basically, all Frostdamus grind spot videos that are not based on actual WoW Classic are fucking worthless. This is all Private Server bullshit. Classic drop rates are way, and I mean WAY, lower. This is maybe a 10g/h grind spot, maybe up to 15g/h if you luck out with the drops. And that's actually one of the better ones. Frostsdamus' supposedly "hottest" Silithus grind spot, for example, is almost comically bad in Classic, yielding maybe 7g/h.
All of these become the semi AFK if you roll a lock or a hunter. I have more experience right now with the hunter even though I used to main a lock so I will explain the hunter side. My favorite place to farm with my hunter right now on k3 is the timbermaw firbolgs right outside the cave winter springside literally all I do is sit and aspect of the cheetah while Kitty goes and attacks everything while I auto shot I can say we roughly fifty golden hour from that area amazing drops would always be walking away with a a stack of healing Pottermore
Hey. I got a tip for you. When you presented the raw copper from the harpies the coin icon was gold. Just thought i'd tell you so you can replace it with either silver or copper icons in later vids :) Much love man!
Awesome video as always, I really enjoy how you weave in the lore aspect in your them! May you disclose which server this guides are made on? Would be curious to give it a try.
They released an itemization of classic 1.12, you should do a video of good spots to grind because of the greens that will drop with this itemization I'm thinking healing offhands ect, and + fire, frost, damage, now we know green will make a very good portion of gold grinding spot :)
Love your Videos Frost! What 2 professions would you get off the bat? I was thinking 2 gathering professions then when I hit 60 or so switch to like Alchemy, or something. What do you think?
Watch the spawnrate on the harpies and be careful with the chest in the back. On nostalrius we ended up accidentally spawning like 50 harpies back there lol. I can't remember how we managed to clear them out.
The DWP spot becomes even better when you're a rogue. I hope I don't get TOO much competition there considering how good of a rogue farming spot it is due to all your CC's being effective/kick and pickpocket. Great video :)
Yeah this spot is a lot more popular now. Although , I prefer to go down into the ghost cellars because the respawn rate is very high and they have low hp/high dmg.
Frost now that we have confirmed exactly what items will be in the game at launch with latest blue post can you please make a phase 1 pre raid bis list for mages?
Soulkeeper is not a useless item. The invocation spell of mages replenishes mana based on your spirit, so ideally a mage wants to swap their dps weapon to soulkeeper (with +20 spirit enchant), cast invocation and then swap back to his dps weapon. You can do this in combat.
I started making lvling challenges with some classic like rules (still feels nothing the same but at least try to keep me busy while I wait), hope to see more.
Not very classified if I say but also for pure gold you can farm basilisk in shimmering flats if you wanna get your mount fresh at 40. I did it on my hunter playing elysium a year or so ago and made 150g in about 3-4 hours of farming...
It's funny to think BFA methods make upwards of 100k+ hr and vanilla as 9-100g/hr. I do remember borrowing from my guild to get the mats for the paladin mount quest though
Great video once again Frosty!!! But was Medivh all that bad or just born cursed :) ? I'm asking you because he is one of my favorite characters in WoW. + dont forget that he came back to save us all after he was defeated in his material form by Khadgar and his fellowship. As for the game part now... WE ARE ALL W8ING FOR IT :) :) :)!!!!!
Correct me if I am wrong. Didn’t deadline pass have very little mobs in classic wow? I remember being curious and going there, but not seeing much. Maybe a mob or 2, but not enough to grind gold. Now this was years ago and memories not so good :)
I am always torn, when I watch these kind of videos, between giving an economics lesson, or just rubbing my hands together in glee thinking about all the gold I am going to make by NOT doing this.
@@Frostadamus No, but I am more of a manufacturer or gatherer. Gold farming generally only creates inflation, money supply, like the treasury printing money, which means the price of my stuff goes up. With probably a greater proportion of the server population raiding than before, the only threat to me selling my flasks and other consumables, is a lack of liquidity. Lots of people, with lots of gold, and an inadequate supply, just means a bidding war and more gold for me! :) Not quite the benefit I was hoping for from my expensive economics education, but something at least.
the horde escort quest in 1k needles is very nostalgic to me. being up high like that reminded me of some old school arcade and console video games back in the day. like dark seal ect...
Frost: Tells spooky tale of a desolate region overwhelmed by evil and dark magick, with a "k" so you know it's serious. Frost's Warrior: Hits an ogre for 666. Me: lol XD
back when i started playing (during tbc) i also grinded for my 40s mount in 1k needles. but as noobie as i was a little bit different.... ok so please dont hate me but here we go: i realised that you can grind really good the gold in 1k needles and i could sell them for relative much gold. so i farmed stacks and stacks of gold ore ( it was long ago but i think about 50 or more). so i melted them into gold bars AND I VENDORED THEM AS PLANNED 🤦♂️ Since i didnt use the auction house i didnt know how much gold i had in my bags -.-
Who would you say are the better class to farm single target mobs like the karazan ogras or the demon spot in Aszhara WL or Mage...no aoe answers pure single target farm.
Frost, how profitable would be selling mooncloth and arcanite CD at fresh server? These are always very valuable resource but the lack of arcane crystals, felcloth and low gold amounts may render this method useless. I plan to stop leveling my main as soon as I get lvl35+ and arcanite recipe and then level another char to lvl35 with alchemy and tailoring. Will it be viable or it's better just to level to 60 asap?
i wanted to get the bracers enchant but thought someone must be grinding there already gotta check that spot, it's interesting how many people are actually there on private servers... because felcloth spots in azshara are often occupied with raid gear 60s... in any case i am okay with stonescale and blackmouth profit)
How much is the cap in these private servers right now? A year ago I remember seeing 10k people online. It's still steady? Because that will affect how crowded the spots are. If we get like 3 - 5k caps in classic, things will be smoother.
Frost, I really enjoy your videos. Most likely I will not play wow as I have a job and playing for 1-2 hours a day will suck. So just watching here, but all those "farming spots" videos are funny as basically you can just go farm any place and you will still loot something which will be useful here or there. There are few decent spots like felcloth satyrs which may be considered a real "spot". But most other spots are just the same you just go to a place what you enjoy(location, music, mobs) and just kill mobs there I believe enjoying the place is a thing one should consider the most relevant at least at a high level.
Frost, pull a sock (or get a filter, though more expensive) over your microphone when you talk into it -- we can hear the inside of your mouth (high frequencies). You know those sounds people make when they eat something. This will also fix the problem of "breathing" on the mic, though this isn't something I've noticed you do
I have deadcat on the mic. Maybe I can pull a sock over the deadcat? The problem is the mic. Need to get an usb one. This audio get to much post-editing and amplifying. Gonna get a studio mic before classic is lauched :P
Hi! Nice video im so stoked for classic, i was just wondering if anyone knows the addonskin for the Blizz ui that he is using? Have searched for it but have not yet found it cheers!
Frost if i want to leveling as grinder, where can i found all the monster have in each area to fixate a path to grind each level with better xp per health etc.
frost i gots a pvp question for u - if i enchant a weapon with fiery weapon, and pop a flask of supreme power.. do they synergise together? i mean would the fiery weapon procc damage get boosted by the magic damage buff?
Think I'll start with the leveling guides, and then with lvl 60 guides (talents, rotations, bis sets) Just need to make a decision and stick with it. :P
I haven‘t been hyped for a game that much in a long time. I don‘t even know why! its 14 years ago and I played it already once. Maybe it‘s because I can‘t do it right now. If I wanna play some good old age of empires I just do it again but with vanills it‘s not possible. And no I don‘t play private servers because I get way too attached to my characters to see them get deleted when blizz shuts a server down
valid point @@Frostadamus. For me it was never a thing because until cata I liked the game how it was and afterwards I just stoped playing until classic announcement made me hyped again. Actually I would prefere a tbc server over classic but this will still be awesome.
I started thinking about classic like way too much recently... can't wait
Same here, can't wait for the release date announce so I can book a 2-week vacation! Maybe I will regret it but screw girls, screw dating, screw beach I'm gonna play classic wow!
I've been writing out plans and drawing graphs n shit, what is happening to me...
Same... I feel bad for what my future couldve been...
yea, people redo their gaming setup, clean their PC's and so on.
You took it to the next level :)
@@JT-dt4lq You could be paying for child support for some bastard children.
I absolutely love when you go over the lore of the area you're grinding in. My favorite part of the video!!
Love how you give a little detail and story to the areas before you dive into the gold farming spot!
Some people actually hate it :)
I seriously love how you give the lore of any zone you talk about, even for simple videos like gold grinds that have nothing to do with lore.
i really love that you give lore about the zone before goin to technical gameplay
Goose bumps every time I click on one of your videos. You make me 10 times more excited for Classic than I should be! 💖
He stirs it up with those nostalgic wonder-feeling musics
dude this is the best wow series ive ever seen on youtube. gold and lore combined is so great to watch
as Horde with skinning I'd farm the Pesterhide Hyenas in the thousand needles (25-29), insane grey item value per hour, finanzed my mount solely from that spot with a nice route near the vendors

yup, that spot rocks.
I've covered the hyenas in desolace. These re pretty neat also, and they come in packs of 5.
Since the opening of your channel I appreciate the quality of your content, keep it up !

Thanks man, I'm not going to change the style on the series because some people consider them to long.
Just doing what I enjoy doing :)
Thanks for the feedback :P
Thanks for all the info. I had forgotten so much of this from 2005 when I played vanilla onwards. I am looking forward to rolling a mage in vanilla.
Brilliant video as normal! Very informative. Great use of music and the history of the zones is a nice touch! Keep it up :)
Hi Josh,
Thank you.
Frost the quality of your editing and voiceovers are some of the best on UA-cam. Love all your videos!
Frostadamus, you're really beginning to make a name of yourself in the Classic community. Your videos are entertaining and very informative. Keep up the great work.
Anyone reminded of the video Associate Professor Evil kills all gold farmers from Oxhorn over a decade ago when he mentioned the ogre grinding spot & gold farmers? Good guide as usual regardless!
Absolutely love your videos. So informative and relaxing. I cant wait for classic!

Thank you, Frost. The channel has revealed several worth while farming locations to me, appreciate it.
You're welcome friend.
Send me your list so we can get over it faster :)
Jesus thousand needles brings back so much memories
I had 1k needles so dialed in farming ore, up on that second level. and I had the fast mt goat from the dwarf race wit its awesome short wheelbase
I made a decent bit off the centaur cave. Two chests, several mining nodes, and a lot of item drops
Hadn't thought about the Darkmoon amulet... I think I will hit up that cave for the Vibrant Plumes alone.
Love your work, really structured and interesting! You should do a rogue pickpocket BRD grind video!
I've just been grinding since level 13.
Already have 2 14 slot bags and 3 12 slot bags, 3g, and all my useful spells at 22. Even ran deadmines a couple times, got the corsair shirt and cookies wand. Ran sfk got the cloth shoulders.
Can't wait to grind at max level and make B A N K!
thank you for the video. please make more good grinding spots to level up in each leveling bracket that off the grid. tyvm.
Love your videos man. I usually grind in the crypts just south of the ogres in deadwind pass and have pretty good luck. The mobs repop pretty fast and they are somewhat close to each other.
The cave you mentioned has TONS Of ore to be mined. Like 4-5 nodes easily.
Normally I don't care for lore, but your sweet sweet voice means I just can't skip. Great content, keep it up!
Daniele Bolelli plays WoW?! Is this, Azerothian History on Fire ? =P. Love the content, keep it coming!
Love your videos mate, especially the history you give of each area you go. Really really cool. Stay Frosty!
These will be helpfull once classic drops!
Your descriptions are so engaging... Makes me remember why I love Blizzard.
Pre 40 mount gold farming, I liked SM grave yard. It was instanced so no competition. Elites did take time but dropped great vendor trash plus a chance at the steel chain
true,
also if you have herbalism, you can get grave moss.
When I'm a millionaire in classic I'll have you to thank.
We will make a millionare in classic club LUL
Frost, as alliance, this spot is amazing $$ as light feather is mostly from harpies and that creature is mostly only in horde zone. That cave also have grp quest which can become crowded. This is one of my favorite grinding spot as an alliance druid / rogue so you dont gank constantly. I purchase mounts from that cave numerous time. Cheer
You deserve more subs man. Awesomely made videos. Nice explanation and thanks for summarising it all in the end
In Deadwind pass there's a road that just kind of forms a ring in the middle of the zone, it just has vultures fairly spread out. At level 60 the vultures are easy enough to kill and have a very consistent drop rate of high value grey stuff, along with the expected random world drops. It's can be a fairly lucrative if boring place to farm. Essentially you just run the ring, and by the time you come around the vultures have respawned. Not a lot of fussing with the AH on this one.
Vanilla fact, this was a popular location for bots back in the day, it was such a simple area to path that you would see bots farming the area. It was a good place to learn how they functioned. If you tagged a mob, they would just kill it with the same set of skills and then try and loot it. Occasionally it would get stuck. A note about this location it can't handle more then two or so people farming it, so it's not great all the time. But good if you need a change.
Need to check that out. Never grind there, but high value grey sounds consistent.
Can you skin? I guess so.
@@Frostadamus Looking at an old loot table you can skin them. I was blacksmith back in the day, so I don't remember.
The mobs are called Sky Shadow, and the big appeal is a slow safe cash flow. You aren't likely to run up a big repair bill on these, you'll make good money on the gray drops. They also drop some useful crafting mats, buzzard wings, giant eggs, mystery meat, iron feathers. Honestly I'd probably put the area as 2nd or 3rd choice. Other places get full I would go here for no competition.
They are also 55+ mobs, which means their world drops are 55+. Most people think of the .01% boe drops at this point, but there's a better thing to look for. Randomly stat greens.
There's a bunch of high level green sets (by name only, no set bonus) that have random attributes. Councillor is cloth, Wanderer is leather, Ornate is mail, Templar is plate. These can actually end up being preraid BIS for a lot of people and can fetch a lot of gold. They can also be trash. You have to know what people are looking for, but knowledgeable people will pay for them.
The birds aren't special in dropping these, they are just a safe place to farm. Maybe your class isn't the best at burning down mobs or what have you. Any mob 55+ can drop them.
Summer can't come fast enough!
Just finished grinding this spot for almost 3 hours, only got about 7 stacks of rune cloth, 0 mana pots / health, 4 greys, 1 green, all total I made after selling and raw mob grind.. about 24-26 gold..
Basically, all Frostdamus grind spot videos that are not based on actual WoW Classic are fucking worthless. This is all Private Server bullshit. Classic drop rates are way, and I mean WAY, lower.

UltraBoon RPG yeah not a good spot
Anduin's theme on the backround, soothing
Love the videos, especially in this series! Would you consider doing a video (or series) just on semi-afk leveling/money strategies?
All of these become the semi AFK if you roll a lock or a hunter. I have more experience right now with the hunter even though I used to main a lock so I will explain the hunter side. My favorite place to farm with my hunter right now on k3 is the timbermaw firbolgs right outside the cave winter springside literally all I do is sit and aspect of the cheetah while Kitty goes and attacks everything while I auto shot I can say we roughly fifty golden hour from that area amazing drops would always be walking away with a a stack of healing Pottermore
Hey. I got a tip for you. When you presented the raw copper from the harpies the coin icon was gold. Just thought i'd tell you so you can replace it with either silver or copper icons in later vids :) Much love man!
Awesome video as always, I really enjoy how you weave in the lore aspect in your them! May you disclose which server this guides are made on? Would be curious to give it a try.
Great video as usual. Your usage of music in videos is nothing but absolutely brilliant
Hey man, great video!
I'm curious as to what addons you are using? Especially for castbar and combat text.
They released an itemization of classic 1.12, you should do a video of good spots to grind because of the greens that will drop with this itemization I'm thinking healing offhands ect, and + fire, frost, damage, now we know green will make a very good portion of gold grinding spot :)
good idea, I'll look into this.
Thanks
Frost, thanks for another awesome video! Would you be interested in making a video about how to make good money using the auction house?
I will make one in the future.
To many projects opened and unfinished right now :P
Love your Videos Frost!
What 2 professions would you get off the bat? I was thinking 2 gathering professions then when I hit 60 or so switch to like Alchemy, or something. What do you think?
Watch the spawnrate on the harpies and be careful with the chest in the back. On nostalrius we ended up accidentally spawning like 50 harpies back there lol. I can't remember how we managed to clear them out.
Well, prior to WoD most Ogre Mages were actually more like shamans if you look at their spells (bloodlust for example.).
The DWP spot becomes even better when you're a rogue. I hope I don't get TOO much competition there considering how good of a rogue farming spot it is due to all your CC's being effective/kick and pickpocket.
Great video :)
True. pickpocketing will boost your gold/hour.
Also, I always find the grind with rogue much faster when it comes to 1 by 1 mob kill.
Great video i enjoy those story parts, nice touch.
I use to farm felcloth in Aszhara, they sold for 2-3 gold each, took a very long time but I did get my mount eventually.
awesome video Frost.
Yeah this spot is a lot more popular now. Although , I prefer to go down into the ghost cellars because the respawn rate is very high and they have low hp/high dmg.
ah, to kill the undead?
Frostadamus yessir indeed! A long 2+ hour run down in the cellar , you might find interesting results ;P
Frost now that we have confirmed exactly what items will be in the game at launch with latest blue post can you please make a phase 1 pre raid bis list for mages?
will work on that :)
after leveling guides :P
Great stuff, thanks !
Soulkeeper is not a useless item. The invocation spell of mages replenishes mana based on your spirit, so ideally a mage wants to swap their dps weapon to soulkeeper (with +20 spirit enchant), cast invocation and then swap back to his dps weapon. You can do this in combat.
was getting scared when you were talking about shimmering flats, but we're all good.
Turtles or hyenas?:)

I started making lvling challenges with some classic like rules (still feels nothing the same but at least try to keep me busy while I wait), hope to see more.
Each time you die - 10 push-ups? :)
Gonna do it but now planning for 10= delete char and the next one without deaths @@Frostadamus
great videos dude ! thanks !
Nice work as usual frost :)
Not very classified if I say but also for pure gold you can farm basilisk in shimmering flats if you wanna get your mount fresh at 40. I did it on my hunter playing elysium a year or so ago and made 150g in about 3-4 hours of farming...
It's funny to think BFA methods make upwards of 100k+ hr and vanilla as 9-100g/hr. I do remember borrowing from my guild to get the mats for the paladin mount quest though
That Soulkeeper is a BiS twink item. 3.8 attack speed...
Great video once again Frosty!!! But was Medivh all that bad or just born cursed :) ?

How has CIA not taken this video down?
best place to farm from 32-40 is Dabyre's Farmstead just West of Hammerfall in Arathi Highlands. easiest to do with frost mage. you're welcome
Correct me if I am wrong. Didn’t deadline pass have very little mobs in classic wow? I remember being curious and going there, but not seeing much. Maybe a mob or 2, but not enough to grind gold. Now this was years ago and memories not so good :)
it was ogres, soem vultures and undead near kharazan entrance.
All 3 viable grind spots.
Love these types of vids Frost! Keep em comin
37g/h in tier 3 geared warrior? U can farm more just running around like moran with herb/minning combined in high lvl locations
What level was your mage when doing the cave? And you should look up a mail addon to open mail with one click much faster :)
Frost, what addon do you use to give that beautiful black theme to your windows / UI?
Nice one Frost! Really like this serie alot :)

Gold ore was important for leveling mining via smelting. People used to pay a lot for them :P
@@Frostadamus thank you for your videos;) they will help a lot 👍
10:45 The centaur cave is a great place to grind. My experience is based on private servers however.
Great video, thanks man!!
Soulkeeper isnt useless. Mages need them pre zg as their evocation switch stuff. Also its not the worst thing for healers...
Who would you say are the better class to farm single target mobs like the karazan ogras or the demon spot in Aszhara WL or Mage...no aoe answers pure single target farm.
That's where I'd always go mess with gold farmers. Either there or Azshara.

It's basically free gold everyday. I'd recommend getting to 60 with your main and after that maybe level few chars to 35 to learn professions on them.
thank frosty boy
What is the best way to farm major mana potions do you think?
3 dreamfoils - 2 Icecaps
Recipe from scholomance.
Check my alchemy guide :)
i wanted to get the bracers enchant but thought someone must be grinding there already
gotta check that spot, it's interesting how many people are actually there on private servers...
because felcloth spots in azshara are often occupied with raid gear 60s...
in any case i am okay with stonescale and blackmouth profit)
How much is the cap in these private servers right now?
A year ago I remember seeing 10k people online. It's still steady?
Because that will affect how crowded the spots are. If we get like 3 - 5k caps in classic, things will be smoother.
Frost, I really enjoy your videos. Most likely I will not play wow as I have a job and playing for 1-2 hours a day will suck. So just watching here, but all those "farming spots" videos are funny as basically you can just go farm any place and you will still loot something which will be useful here or there. There are few decent spots like felcloth satyrs which may be considered a real "spot". But most other spots are just the same you just go to a place what you enjoy(location, music, mobs) and just kill mobs there I believe enjoying the place is a thing one should consider the most relevant at least at a high level.
Frost, pull a sock (or get a filter, though more expensive) over your microphone when you talk into it -- we can hear the inside of your mouth (high frequencies). You know those sounds people make when they eat something. This will also fix the problem of "breathing" on the mic, though this isn't something I've noticed you do
I have deadcat on the mic. Maybe I can pull a sock over the deadcat?
The problem is the mic. Need to get an usb one.
This audio get to much post-editing and amplifying.
Gonna get a studio mic before classic is lauched :P
Frost Always good work n1
I like to call it Rags to Bitches! For the Horde!!!!
Hi! Nice video im so stoked for classic, i was just wondering if anyone knows the addonskin for the Blizz ui that he is using? Have searched for it but have not yet found it cheers!
Frost if i want to leveling as grinder, where can i found all the monster have in each area to fixate a path to grind each level with better xp per health etc.
hmm, that kind of path requires lots of research.
But I'm pretty sure someone has done it before.
frost i gots a pvp question for u - if i enchant a weapon with fiery weapon, and pop a flask of supreme power.. do they synergise together? i mean would the fiery weapon procc damage get boosted by the magic damage buff?
hmm, It might work together. But the spell coefficient fiery weapon will receive would be low due to fiery proc being instant.
Frostadamus can you pls make a bis list for mage, now we know about the Progressive Itemization :D
Think I'll start with the leveling guides, and then with lvl 60 guides (talents, rotations, bis sets)
Just need to make a decision and stick with it. :P
I haven‘t been hyped for a game that much in a long time. I don‘t even know why! its 14 years ago and I played it already once. Maybe it‘s because I can‘t do it right now. If I wanna play some good old age of empires I just do it again but with vanills it‘s not possible. And no I don‘t play private servers because I get way too attached to my characters to see them get deleted when blizz shuts a server down
I don't wanna play private servers anymore either.
But it's because I don't want to burn out pre-launch or shortly after that.
valid point @@Frostadamus. For me it was never a thing because until cata I liked the game how it was and afterwards I just stoped playing until classic announcement made me hyped again. Actually I would prefere a tbc server over classic but this will still be awesome.
u can click+shift to autoloot the mail
The obsession with minmaxing in classic is going to ruin it for me. Too many people know too much.
It truly won't be the same despite all the hype. Vanilla can't be unlearned.
It's been almost two decades and none of the original values were sourced to private servers. So yes, it can be unlearned
Hope there is a Frostadamus ui addon pack for classic when it comes out!
