Farming: Winterspring

Intro:
I've heard a lot about the yetis of Winterspring and how amazing they are to farm.
However; I've found another spot in the same area with a higher droprate for Rugged Leather which is worth five times as much as the Thick Leather the yetis drop.
So here we goooo...another farming adventure! Well...not really.



Farming For (average):
Rugged Leather (x2 per kill) 20g per stack
Thick Leather (x2 per kill) 5g per stack
Blue Dragonscale (x1 per kill) 30g per stack
Worn Dragonscale (x1 per kill) 3g per stack
Various Greenies (Disenchant/Sell)
Mob Wealth: 4s - 20s

Notable Drops:
Pattern: Robe of Winter Night
Recipe: Greater Arcane Protection Potion
Schematic: Arcanite Dragonling
Star Ruby or Aquamarine (From Whelps)
Random World Drops

Suggested Level: 63+

Rating: A-
Lots of mobs that are close together, great for AoE grinding (Hunters, bring your Gorilladin!). All mobs are skinnable, so rugged leather and thick leather drop in abundance, this sells well as it's a major part of the leatherworking leveling guide. Some pretty decent random drops. The Pattern IS Bind on Pickup though! So don't expect to sell it at a profit (unless you're a tailor and can craft it). The Schematic and Recipe are not BoP and usually sell very well to people who don't want to grind low level content for them. There are 2-5 Rich Thorium spawns inside the caves, so keep track minerals up! Very little competition as well, since there's no mini-pet drop here.

What to Pack:
  • Lots of bagspace, no nearby town (Everlook is quite a bit away) or vendor
  • AoE grinding pet preferable to DPS (cat/ravager/etc)
  • Mining Pick (Or gnomish army knife :P)
  • Health pots and bandages in case you bite off more than you can chew (lower levels)
  • Skinning Knife (Duh)
  • Hearthstone
