Where to farm epics in WoW.

This is a question that you will ask yourself until you find a method that works for you. Back when I went epic hunting, which was very easy to do, I would bring in 5-6 epics a week. Back then epics sold between 200-800gold. So I was brining in a solid 2250 a week.

Epic farming is extremely fun when you start seeing all the blues and epics drop.

But it’s extremely boring when they aren’t dropping.

It takes a while for epic’s to drop – so the full time your grinding your thinking, and re-thinking and questioning your thoughts on drops.

If you haven’t realized – the epics are world drops. Meaning mostly any mob can drop them, and they are pretty rare – thats why thottbot and allakhazam loot tables don’t show mob drops so well.

The method I use for epic farming is actually very simple.

Quick Kills + Descent Drop Rate.

I don’t know the exact drop rates, or the best mobs to kill. But I know what works for me!

The common thought is that blizzard made it harder to get epics from mobs easier to kill – but easier to drop from harder mobs. It makes sense so there’s a balance between what you kill.

This usually results in people trying to find elite mob packs out in the world to try and kill 15 of them in an hour to get some epic drops. I hate to say it, but 15 of any kills, isn’t going to warrant an epic.

So what I do is I fight the “in-betweeners”.

I FARM Scarlet Monastery and Zul’Farrak. Most of my time spent in Zul’Farrak. Another place I enjoy farming is both sides of Maraudon.

The reason why I like to farm these places is because:

#1 – It’s an instance, so I’m guaranteed blues to vendor or disenchant for some extra money.
#2 – I can kill every mob, without fear of PvP.
#3 – The mobs are Elite, so the loot tables are “higher” but the kills are still pretty easy.
#4 – The mobs are elite, so their coin drop is higher.

Farming these instances is how I was pulling in around 2,000g a week.

It’s a lot different now farming in Northrend – and for tips of farming in Northrend you can sign up for the WarcraftLegion.com Newsletter, where you will get up to date strategies from pro’s delivered each week.
