Cool. I was aware of this farm, but they way you explain it is probably the best I've seen on youtube. I made a mage just for farming gold because I'm a warrior main. It's a rough life. Since I'm an orc as well I also had to buy my pre bis axes which set me back around 600+ gold
You can ride your horse through the first 2 guys without aggroing them if you do it right. And even if you do aggro them it doesn't matter because they de-aggro later on when you get closer to the graveyard.
What you can do too: Do 3 runs, and DONT delete the gray items. HS Gadetzan, sell junk, mount back in, do another 2 runs and get lockout. log on alt w/e, come back when reset is over, rinse repeat. this way you dont lose the gold on the trash-trash grey items. its not alot, but it adds up + Mageweave sells (on my realm actually) for about 80s the stack, which adds up HUGE. all in all i peak 60-70g/hour consistent without rare/epic drops counted it
Mageweave selling for 80s a stack is what the bandages vendor for, so it may be worth the time to not get a cut from the AH taken out of your cloth and just churn out bandages while watching a quick video or doing HW.
Good idea posting the video. Should pull a lot more viewers to your stream. For anyone reading this, I've learned a lot about how to stay gold positive from watching it. Even though this particular farm doesn't apply to my class.
If it is not mentioned below, in Classic, You want to stack Int for AoE farming as +SP/+Frost does next to nothing. I had +125 in spell damage gear and my frost bolt increased accordingly (not precisely since it is specc'd to 2.5 seconds) but my blizzard ticks only increased by 4-5dmg each, which is correct, but not very helpful. With this gear I lost over 1.2k mana so I basically lost a blizzard (about 1200 dmg/target on a full channel). Also remember that blizzard will NEVER crit so really the only way to do better frost AoE damage is to cast more blizzards! This means you need more mana. If you can get good Int items that also have +SP, great, but if you have to choose, go Int.
At 2:00, the vases are the only way I seem to be able to jump up, that corner or the corner nearest the boss give me trouble (in or out of combat). I also cant see how abusing the mechanic can cause you any problems..there are many places in various instances that let you change the mob's pathing by changing your positioning.
If you use something like ElvUI this is baked in the bags into a button that deletes greys/sells greys when you are talking to a vendor. No need for a macro.
it is important to add up that ZF is nice boosting place, so if you can find some level 42-51 to boost for like 3g per run, you can add that to your farming and adds like 15g raw gold per h
i don´t know... a lot of mobs just resist my nova / cone of cold... aaand that really can get a problem pretty fast... do i need 3 points in elemental precision? i thought it would be useless for low lvl targets...
Always going to be a 1% chance for a mob to resist your frost nova no matter what level you are, no matter, what spec. I feel like 1 resist on your frost nova without a 2nd one available via coldsnap = death.
having 1 resist a nova isnt too bad, you can ice barrier and just blizzard. If you know they're gonna interrupt the cast, RANK 1 BLIZZ is your best friend to wait for nova cd.
Is it better to make White Bandit Masks and disenchant them? That's what i'm currently doing but contemplating whether the bandage method is better now...
Farm doesn't work for me. Mobs hit through the shield and constantly resist my frost nova. Anyone else hunted by misfortune to the point you can't even complete something as simple as this?
It’s doable man, just keep trying I’ve been at it since lvl 42-49 and plan on going until 52. It’s only getting better the more I level because of less resists. If you’re low lvl I recommend after the first frost nova after ice block use cone of cold (make sure you are specced in range and dmg for it) and run the mobs in a circle to round them up into a single mob, then keep reapplying cone of cold for better mana management. Also make 2 mana gems(highest lvl gem, and low lvl) in case you get low on mana. And keep ice barrier up in case you get too close to the mobs do it a couple of times until you learn the attack range (it’s a huge radius!)
Did they change this? I have almost full phase 4 BiS gear with enchants, but these pulls seem nearly impossible to do. It's like sometimes my blizzard doesn't do any damage, I don't see many numbers on my screen. I'm fully aoe specced with 3/3 imp blizz.
Hi guys, I'm a lvl 45 mage and been smashing this farm, but with the method of jumping back and forth from the ledge above the GY. But I haven't got any graves to loot? It's like they dissappear after killing the zombies. Is my clearing speed too slow or is this something fixed?
He doesn't really have logs or concrete numbers on anything. I'd be pretty surprised if he only got 1k g from this. With that said, he does a lot of herb, and sometimes alch. And he's always aoe grinding enemies when he's out farming, which is where he claims most of the gold came from.
did you also make gold from max proffesions on a very high pop server? or was it medium pop? or did you get lucky from early lvl 70 fresh server? thnks for this guide!!
Been doing it for quite some time. My general advice goes like this: the more mana/hp you have, the more forgiving the pulls will be to the point that you will almost never die even after mistakes. I can also confirm underworld band drops - got 2 in less than a week. I think nothing beats this farm for mages as after some practice you are not forced to give it all of your attention so you can turn on a movie or a stream and just chill.
What would you say minimum health is to make it easier? I have most of the pre-raid BiS, just missing a couple pieces, and I still only have 2000 health or so. Feels like if I am off for half a second I instantly die.
@@MrPeckishPenguin try to get the Necropile set from scholo and gear that gives int and stam, since spellpower doesn't scale well with blizzard and you'll want more mana to cast more blizzards
@@MrPeckishPenguin I'd say 3k is the sweet spot. With that you can even body pull 10+ graves and have around 1500 hp after getting hit before nova. You absolutely don't need spellpower in blizzard style of AOE (160 damage per tick 0 SP vs 172 damage per tick full pre raid bis SP). I got 3k hp/6k mana by simply buying Eagle gear off the AH + epic staff with 29 INT 15 STAM, I just didn't feel like making all those dungeon runs for really good stuff. The 2nd most important thing that helped me a lot was getting minor speed boot enchant. Really made it much easier to kite.
hey, can anyone explain why in the elemental spec is imp. Blizzard? do we use that? Would prefer skilling imp. fire blast (and only one point in Flame throwing) instead of imp. blizzard... please tell me your opinion...
It's from Skyrim/Oblivion. But yes you're right, it is in fact Jeremy Soule. He's the composer for the music in Skyrim AND for Guild Wars. it's funny how they are similar in style :D
Can you please explain the syntax / variables / code of the macro? I tested it, but it didn't delete any grey items, but the meat, I had in my backpack for my pet ;) So an in deep explanation would be really appreciated!
Nice vid frosty! By the way, how did you make to have your undead character not showing ragged robes and bones? I wish to see the undead models like that on wow classic. Is that possible?
That grey delete macro has a warning that pops up when I try and use it. It’s a blizzard warning that I’m about to run a script and could compromise my account. Is it safe to use or what?
i might have the worst luck but every time at least 1 mob resists nova and fucks me up... or mobs run through blizzard without slowing down. pretty annoying
Large rads ~4 g on Ashbringer. I discovered that it is worth DE items that are 41+. If ur lucky you get Greater Nether essences which are worth about 3g ea on my serv.
In case anybody wants a macro to instantly sell all the stacks of bandages at once(heavy silk & mageweave): /run local items={[8544]=true,[6451]=true}for b=0,4,1 do for s =1,32,1 do local id=select(10,GetContainerItemInfo(b,s)) if items[id] then UseContainerItem(b,s) end end end
For some reason when I have ice barrier up with a straggler attacking, I end up part of the time having my channelling interrupted. Does anyone else still have this issue? it can get pretty bad.
Having up a fresh frost bubble around you will mitigate that. Having said that, I typically die when a straggler gets free. :-/ Then again, I'm a noob, sooo
I taught a good handful of people about the water-wheel in Deadmines after we'd pull Captain Greenskin on accident. I too was nervous about violating tos. But I think it was ok. I was honestly surprised it worked! Oh yeah, and the shortcut behind UC on our way to SM. yea I'm Alliance! Come to Skeram and we can fight about it!!
onyl thing is that you got rid of some grey weapons that are worth 98s a piece. Honestly if I was you i would just drop all my non essential gear and trinket off at the bank in gadgetzan and then go grind. Then in the mean time you can create the cloth into heavy bandages which also will free up bag space. Cheers!
My blizzard only does 160 damage per tick, and when I tried to put some spell power gear on, 23 spell power added like 2 damage. How did you get your blizzard damage per tick up to 174? I got a lot of int/stam gear for AoE farming, so I can't figure out how you get your blizzard dmg that high while also having enough hp and mana to do this.
Dude also has the "Rune of the Dawn" Trinket. It increases magical effects against undead up to 48%. This may be why your blizzard ticks less. Pretty sure it's the same case for me.
Soo anyone else hase the problem that your slowing efects don't stay long enough on the undeads? cone of cold should be 11, but for me its mor like 3-5s.
I see always deep Frost Mages every single time on farming spots, guides, dungeons... Is there a way/spot where you can farm gold efficient as Arcane Mage (31/0/20)?
@@kierz89 you would miss out on satyr's though. Just lashers and herbalism is less gold than ZF. Even Lashers, herbalism and satyr's is often less gold cause the fel cloth doesn't sell too well on most servers and it's not too common to drop to make it worthwile imo.
The mob reseting is not a bug, so dont worry, they put that purposely so SOME asshats wouldn't kill bosses in instances from unreachable spots without taking any damage. Theres an ancient video of a huntard soloing patchwerk by shooting him from above the sewer, then forcing the boss to path all around by crossing the pipe and while is on the other side repeat the hitting again and again, so they added mob reset when it has no path available. Or was it a lock, can't remember. It's an okay mechanic, otherwise any ranged would just stand in some higher ground and slap the crap out of bosses from there.
Why don't you use TSM? It always gives you an ideia of waht to craft and items on how much they can sell on the AH! You scan the AH once per day, takes 2 minutes and it helps a lot to get some extra gold!
I give up... Spent 15g worth of repairs and health potions and this is impossible for me.. it just doesn't work. I've tried with PreBIS gear and with minmax 3 set gear all for 200+ armor boosts.. onegets away or blizzard doesn't freeze them long enough, they run faster, I can't get far enough away and cast it before they unfreeze and run through my blizzard because it take too long to apply the slowness on them.. idk.. The whole issue is they aren't staying put long enough for me to get ready. It's so aggravating.
I know that this channel focuses on a mage, but in your experience if any, how reliably do you think a decently geared warrior could do this? If not this, are there any other options you think?
what do you do when one mob is free or they dont slow from blizz? its literally infuriating and as soon as there is a single mob free it ruins everything
Macro doesn't work for me, i verified if all was correct, and it seems it is but it doesn't want to work, i must have an addon or something to make this work ?
it removes the trash from the graves. the crusted bandages and other items that are worth a few copper at vendor. warning about custom scripts comes up any time you use a macro with a script in it. its safe
I die very often during the 3rd pull because i cant face tank the mobs until they group enough for nova i have 2.8k hp, any ideas how to survive that pull better
No mater what I do, I ice block then when they all gathered I frost nova and try to get away at same time and insta die... some times it will look like my character far away I think its leway maybe?? I dont understand how people are surviving this but no mater what I try as soon as ice block breaks and frost nova goes off I die
make sure ice barrier is up when you come out of your ice block and you should be fine, you can also use mana shield but than you could run out of mana (might need to gem every pull than)
You need to pay attention to the swing timer. He mentions it in the video. Look at how the mobs are swinging, wait for the majority to swing and Then break Ice Block. You'll have time to Nova and Walk before that majority of mobs swing back at you.
Leeway mechanic aka positional lag compensation. If you are moving, to the server, you are always ahead of your position to account for latency. Tauren, for example, can only hit you 5 yards away with a melee attack if standing still; but if they are moving they can hit you 8 yards away. The zombies can hit you farther away if you are moving left, right, or forwards; but if you back pedal you are "farther away" so they can't hit you even though your character model on screen is close enough to be hit. Look up videos for "Classic WoW Leeway Mechanic"
@@Mekose Can you describe what benefit this leeway mechanic has for ZF farming? I get the lag compensation part, I just don't understand how it helps Frost in the video. He's moving AWAY so shouldn't he be even farther out of range?
@@RoyAnderson Leeway increases the range of frost nova and arcane explosion. It will hit farther if you are moving when you cast it vs when you are standing still.
everything you could ask for from a video: clear, comprehensive and informative. fantastic guide, thank you so much for this!

Dude also has the "Rune of the Dawn" Trinket. It increases magical effects against undead up to 48%. This may be why your blizzard ticks less. Pretty sure it's the same case for me.
Soo anyone else hase the problem that your slowing efects don't stay long enough on the undeads? cone of cold should be 11, but for me its mor like 3-5s.
I think if you have 3/3 improved blizzard, it has the same slow percentage as CoC. You have to CoC once the imp blizz slow wears off.
I see always deep Frost Mages every single time on farming spots, guides, dungeons... Is there a way/spot where you can farm gold efficient as Arcane Mage (31/0/20)?
you can do dire maul east as arcane, its less gold unless you have herbalism.
@@kierz89 you would miss out on satyr's though. Just lashers and herbalism is less gold than ZF. Even Lashers, herbalism and satyr's is often less gold cause the fel cloth doesn't sell too well on most servers and it's not too common to drop to make it worthwile imo.
The mob reseting is not a bug, so dont worry, they put that purposely so SOME asshats wouldn't kill bosses in instances from unreachable spots without taking any damage. Theres an ancient video of a huntard soloing patchwerk by shooting him from above the sewer, then forcing the boss to path all around by crossing the pipe and while is on the other side repeat the hitting again and again, so they added mob reset when it has no path available.
Or was it a lock, can't remember.
It's an okay mechanic, otherwise any ranged would just stand in some higher ground and slap the crap out of bosses from there.
What is the name of the addon so he can see the cd on slows and blizz?
Why don't you use TSM? It always gives you an ideia of waht to craft and items on how much they can sell on the AH! You scan the AH once per day, takes 2 minutes and it helps a lot to get some extra gold!
hey Frost do you have a new Trash delete macro?
nope. try the addon dejunk
@@Frostadamus you are a hero! ty very much!
two things : you dont need to block the first pack and you dont need to buy pots you will drop lots of them on the tombs
@gardakan936 if you dont use it for the first pack which is pretty stacked you have it for pack 2 and 3 which are much harder to group
Can u use the Frost fire specc for DM east farms?
How to setup HP to show all the time for me and enemys with ur addon pack?
I give up... Spent 15g worth of repairs and health potions and this is impossible for me.. it just doesn't work. I've tried with PreBIS gear and with minmax 3 set gear all for 200+ armor boosts.. onegets away or blizzard doesn't freeze them long enough, they run faster, I can't get far enough away and cast it before they unfreeze and run through my blizzard because it take too long to apply the slowness on them.. idk.. The whole issue is they aren't staying put long enough for me to get ready. It's so aggravating.
@gardakan936 lmao at 42?
I know that this channel focuses on a mage, but in your experience if any, how reliably do you think a decently geared warrior could do this? If not this, are there any other options you think?
lol
reroll mage, hunter, lock or priest
i bet druid could actually do it
Dont listen these noobs you can have an alter mage that would be easier than rerolling a class you dont like and you can continue raiding.
Was this hotfixed? When i attempt this, the trolls aggro onto my immediatly instead of running to the boss first.
gotta aggro the boss first
Loot the chest, shouldn't pull the boss but makes him hostile. Then you're golden.
what do you do when one mob is free or they dont slow from blizz? its literally infuriating and as soon as there is a single mob free it ruins everything
Coldsnap -- Re Nova
Great video, I always die though. Sticking to the lasher farms until I get better gear
Macro doesn't work for me, i verified if all was correct, and it seems it is but it doesn't want to work, i must have an addon or something to make this work ?
what trash items does that macro remove? also, i get a warning about custom scripts when i try to use it. what's the deal here?
it removes the trash from the graves. the crusted bandages and other items that are worth a few copper at vendor. warning about custom scripts comes up any time you use a macro with a script in it. its safe
cant get the trash delete macro to work? what am I doing wrong?
i make bandages while I wait for iceblock to be up again, (while cold snap is on CD).
mike riemer who shit in your sandwhich?
@mike riemer dont call me a clown mikey mouse
@mike riemer you're turning 40 silk into 20 bandages = 1 less bag space
you okay m8?
I die very often during the 3rd pull because i cant face tank the mobs until they group enough for nova i have 2.8k hp, any ideas how to survive that pull better
thats why you block right?
@@XTen1000DaysX yes from what I have learned myself is to not block on the first pull, but on 2nd and 3rd
@@campingcatform venruki has a guide to pull them all, you just have to use a bug.
That flame strike spec looks legit. Is the impact talent worth taking for stun chance or no because it may scuff up mob clumping?
You just answered you question :D
This is more comedy than a guide, but it works :D
What’s ur bag add on?
What cast bar addon is that?
Why improve blizzard in the ele build ? Im fresh 60 and its hard for me to do it with the blizzard spec , i dont have enoigh mana
Yo - being a raider I wonder if I should respecc to AOE between raids ever week?
If you do this enough, you´ll have enough to respec 5 times a day forever
No mater what I do, I ice block then when they all gathered I frost nova and try to get away at same time and insta die... some times it will look like my character far away I think its leway maybe?? I dont understand how people are surviving this but no mater what I try as soon as ice block breaks and frost nova goes off I die
make sure ice barrier is up when you come out of your ice block and you should be fine, you can also use mana shield but than you could run out of mana (might need to gem every pull than)
@@adrianw.3951 Yeah I have both up and they hit and break bubble and one hit me every time.
You need to pay attention to the swing timer. He mentions it in the video.
Look at how the mobs are swinging, wait for the majority to swing and Then break Ice Block. You'll have time to Nova and Walk before that majority of mobs swing back at you.
What does backpeddaling reduce to half? Cant understand.
Leeway mechanic aka positional lag compensation. If you are moving, to the server, you are always ahead of your position to account for latency. Tauren, for example, can only hit you 5 yards away with a melee attack if standing still; but if they are moving they can hit you 8 yards away.
The zombies can hit you farther away if you are moving left, right, or forwards; but if you back pedal you are "farther away" so they can't hit you even though your character model on screen is close enough to be hit.
Look up videos for "Classic WoW Leeway Mechanic"
@@Mekose Can you describe what benefit this leeway mechanic has for ZF farming? I get the lag compensation part, I just don't understand how it helps Frost in the video. He's moving AWAY so shouldn't he be even farther out of range?
@@RoyAnderson Leeway increases the range of frost nova and arcane explosion. It will hit farther if you are moving when you cast it vs when you are standing still.
@@Mekose So even backpedaling AWAY from mobs increases AOE range? That's pretty awesome if so!
@@RoyAnderson yes, as shown in this video.
The best guide for zf farm !
What level do you have to be to do this?
Great video! also what is the addon/script that gives the dragon around your character portrait? Thanks
Thanks alot for the guide, my bags are literally ALWAYS full when I play my rogue
can u do this as rogue to?
Another great vid!
Another great vid :D Multumesc
you can run through the 2 mobs with a 100% mount. they will resett if u run straight to the GY :) thanks me later
Hey your macro for drop trash is still working?
should work. Havent tested yet.
However there are addons for that now.
@@Frostadamus Thanks for ur help!
