The ones I used were the turtles by the elite water giants to the coast in tanaris(people think you’ll aggro the giants but they are easily avoidable) and the cultist cave in felwood(deep in cave by the spire-grinding on the casters, slimes, and the demons- you can run circuits around them since they all repawn before you finish the last mob.)
The first method took me from level 46ish to 50 while the second got me like 6 levels in the 50’s. I rarely ran into anyone in the first spot and the I only ran into people who cared about the escort quest in spot 2. If they were the opposite faction, they usually left me alone since who wants to risk dying in the middle of a cave with highly dense packed mobs and a 10 minute corpse walk.
I did all of this as a drain tanking lock with like 140ish spell power. I barely had any downtime, especially as I got to a higher level.
This happend a year ago and so even with all the YouTube videos out there and a decade worth’s of experience, people didn’t think to grind in these spots.
To collaborate ideas off course. I know where I’m leveling from later 40’s to 60 and would like to know other levels as well. Plus if the spot is really that good, a simple forum post wouldn’t ruin it for others since the place I posted are deceptive.
I had favorite spots, not necessarily secret or high xp giving enemies, but because they were secluded, and less people around tagging them. I liked Winterspring for those last few levels, there were a few pockets of Moonkin in the southeast I think I would grind.
No one ever goes to the Gnolls south of Sentinel Hill. For some reason people are always killing the Gnolls by the coast, but never to the south and southeast in Westfall. I grinded out a bunch of levels on those guys over a few hours once. Got a bunch of greens, and there are even some chest spawns. Decent XP and they arent hard to kill. Never ran out of Gnolls to kill and was never waiting on groups of them to respawn either.
The whelp area west of Grim Batol in Wetlands rarely has anyone out there. You can get tons of skinning mats from the whelps and they’re all over the place.
The Naga by the shore in Desolace. No one ever goes to Desolace, so you’ll often have the place to yourself. Killed Naga from 36-40 here once and only saw one other player the whole time.
Ogres in Feralas are super easy to kill, and are right next door to Desolace. After you’re done genociding the Naga, you can hop right over to the next zone and continue your killing spree. Best spot is directly north of that Tauren camp.
More Ogres in southeastern Deadwind Pass. There are literally no quests in this zone as far as I’m aware, so no one has a reason to go here.
In my experience, going anywhere where there aren’t quests for either faction can be a good grind spot. Whether you want to grind humanoids, dragonkin, beasts, etc. is up to you to discover.
In ashenvale theres this place southwest of Astranaar that had a bunch of demons level 23-25 I think. It was very secluded and I never saw ANYONE there. I grinded a whole level, unrested.
Crabs on west fall from 13-18, spiders in wetlands from 18-23, bears and spiders in hillsbrad from 23-27. Then turtles in hillsbrad near dalaran crater till 30. Move on to desolace and grind centaurs till around 32ish from there go to thousand needles in the flats near the entrance to tanaris there’s a bunch of basilisks I grind there till about 34 maybe 35
At 34/35 I move onto arathi and grind raptors / buzzards till about 38 in which I love ton duskwallow and grind more raptors till 42.
I usually head to badlands at 42 and either try grinding the elemental if it’s not to packed, the dwarfs in the fortress or ogres till about 46.
At 46 it’s time for the long haul, Nagas on the island in feralas from 46 till about 50/51 from there on out depending on my class generally warlock it’s satyr farming for felcloth.
I also have a tailoring route that I have that uses generally humanoid mobs but that route produces a lot less income overall and is much slower due to actually spending time on your profession.
Overall takes about 6 - 7 days /played not going to break any world records but it’s very consistent and not much traveling time at all, don’t have to worry about drop chances respawns for a specific mob or staying around highly populated areas… one big downside is ITS BORING and your gathering professions will suffer big time.
PS the first half of this is pretty much better for alliance for obvious reasons
It may go quicker this time around when classic launches due to two reasons my interest in pvp is pretty much non existent anymore so not sure what type of server I may hop on and I’m still up for debate on warlock or hunter, hunter has a slightly quicker killing speed then lock but over the course of 59 levels it adds up fairly quickly.
