Quote:My shaman on Stormscale has hit level 49 and there he will stay for quite some time. While I'm really enjoying PvP at this level - both world and instanced - the only problem I have is what to do while waiting for matches to pop/random alliance player to cross my path.
I can level tradeskills, but that's only going to get me so far. What I really want is a couple of nice grinding spots, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Also any goofy things that I could do that won't earn me XP would be great.:)
Here are some of the mobs/places that I'm thinking of: the iron ore circuit in arathi highlands; while I'm there, the ogres and naga are easy to kill, so are worth looking at; the lesser rock elementals in the badlands (it's a shame that the Badlands are suck a pain to get to); and the mining circuit in Swamp of Sorrows.
So there we have it. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.:)(Also, do Alliance players travelling to Maraudon usually fly to Nigel's Point or the island in Feralas?)
Alliance usually come from Nigel's because the trip is a little shorter and passes through lower-level mobs.
If you're out in the Badlands and you have mining high enough, I recommend running a mithril circuit out there. You'll pick up mithril, iron, silver, and gold. if your circuit runs the zone and you stop off to kill some elementals, then the node respawn will probably stay ahead of you.
I also took up working on cooking and fishing on my rogue while waiting for friends to catch me (although they seem to not be playing anymore...hmmm). Since you can do a lot of fishing and cooking in cities and towns, it's good for when you're mixing in AFK time with your farming.
