Grinding 30-60
31-35: The Yetis in Hillsbrad in the cave near Tarren Mill are great experience and can be skinned. *** 34-38: Venture Co. Goblins in STV die quickly and are casters. Drop cloth and lots of greens. There are a few quests in Booty Bay related to these. Fantastic grinding. Lightning bolt can hit a little hard if you're on the lower levels. *** 35-40: Ogres in Alterac. 36-38: Kodo grinding in Desolace, a few Desolace quests. 37-40: Murlocs in STV. 40+: Rock Elementals and Dragon Whelps in the Badlands are great for getting money if you just bought your mount or need a bit more to get your mount. Whelps have a chance of dropping a dragon pet that sells great on the AH or in the Trade channel, and Rock Elementals drop nice vendor trash. Whelps can be skinned if I remember correctly. 40+: The woodpaws in Feralas are pretty great, but stay away from the ones that give the slower casting speed disease. 40-46: Wastewanders in Tanaris, these guys are great because they drop a lot of Mageweave and there are a few quests connected to these guys. Beware the high level patrol around here, but otherwise, great spot. *** 45-49: Naga in Feralas, these guys have nice drops, a lot of pearls, and are so easy to grind through. It's like a knife through butter, or if you're a rogue, a knife through someone's spine. *** 45-49: Feralas harpies, Frayfeather Skystormers. 46-50: Ghosts in Azshara are awesome, they have great drops. 47-50: Dunemaul Ogres in Tanaris. 50-54: Thistleshrubs in Tanaris. 50-54: Undead in WPL, drop great items that can be saved to exchange for Argent Dawn rep, drop good money, lots of runecloth. 51-55: Satyrs in Azshara drop lots of Felcloth and money, and some nice greens. 54-58: Blood Elves in Azshara give great loot and die really fast, but this area can
be crowded on newer servers with other levellers. 54-58: Ghosts around the frozen lake in Winterspring. 54-60: Lashers in Eastern Dire Maul are absolutely amazing for your last levels. Comboing this with Lumberjacks in WPL for some variety will get you to 60 quickly. 54-60: Scarlet Lumberjacks in WPL are great for getting all the way to 60. 56-60: Thunderhawks in Azshara are great to grind on at this point. 58-60: The yeti cave in Winterspring, various other Winterspring mobs, a few quests in Winterspring.
