Zuldazar Instant Re-Spawn Farm, Very Easy (Patreon)

(NOTE for patreons: Thanks for all the amazing content you've been sending me, I truly appreciate it. It is actually taking me a while to work through and test everything, please don't take it personally if it takes me a while to respond to you: I want to give everything my full attention)

Wamo recently contributed this to the patreon:

"Hello Arch and fellow Patreons. I’ve found a couple of instant respawn spots in BFA that I don’t believe have been talked about yet. Feel free to share Arch if you find it worthwhile. Some of the “Screaming Pterrordax” mobs in Zuldazar respawn instantly. They give XP and can be both looted and skinned. I’ve found two spots so far: 49.93 67.80 - Terrace of the Speakers Two spawn here on top of the gateway. Hostile to Alliance but friendly to Horde. Horde players will need to use the Servant of N’zoth buff on War Mode. 50.00 81.85 - Grand Bazar. Two Spawn here. Horde only, so this requires War Mode, Servant of N’zoth and the “Welcome to Zul’dazar” quest (this is the intro quest to ZD so it’s easy to access, can easily use a second account to party sync and phase over). Try to ignore the “Enforcer’s Pterrordax” mob as it gives no XP or loot and is needed for people on the quest. It has a long respawn timer, so having it vanish might bring unneeded suspicion. Enjoy :)"

The co-ordinates of the NPC's Wamo mentions work only within Dazar'alor, the main Horde city. So you must fly directly to Dazar'alor before following the co-ordinates.*

I tested this out personally because it is a very low effort farm, and this is a truly instant re-spawn farm-meaning the pterrodax mobs re-spawn instantly the moment you kill them. This would be very easy to automate even with a clicker. I got the following results for an hour:

Junk: 418 gold (vendored)

Blood Stained Bone: 680 , I sold these for a total of 4080 gold. (They still sell fast)

Shmmerscale: 1030. I sold these for 926 gold.

Mistscale:140 , sold these for 100 gold.

Calcified Bone: These are worthless.

Greens: 4. I managed to sell these for a total of 589 gold. 

Paleo Steak: 240. I managed to sell this for 960 Gold.

So I got 7073 gold for my hour. Some of these may be due to individual realm pricing oddities, especially paleo steak, but I should add that I wasn't making any attempt to optimize my farm - you could do a lot better if you aren't doing a one-button rotation. 

I was doing this as alliance with war mode. One horde player seemed interested in what i was doing, got his nose burned by getting too close to a flamestrike, and flew away. That was the extent of the pvp problems I had. 

This farm will become very interesting during Shadowlands as a tick of flamestrike or other persistent ability will be enough to kill a pterrodax, meaning you can get multiple skins per second. 

* I use this macro to find things.

/run local p,f="player",CreateFrame("Button",nil,UIParent,"OptionsButtonTemplate")f:SetPoint("TOP",0,0)f:SetScript("OnUpdate",function(s,e)x,y=C_Map.GetPlayerMapPosition(C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit(p),p):GetXY()f:SetText(format("(%.1f,%.1f)",x*100,y*100))end)

Many use the add-on tom tom which gives you an in-game arrow to point you in the direction.

Optimizations

Patreon bli161 helpfully wrote out a list of optimizations for this farm:

1, use “Kul’tiran skinning” enchant for gloves 

2, turn off war mode but enable pvp 

3, learn level 3 skinning 

4, use “breath of the dying” as the major essence, purification protocol, ancient flame and life condense force as minor 

5, make sure to either use breath as the king blow(5 seconds CD) or kill the mobs in 1 second after breath was used( This refreshes the cool down for breath) 

6, assuming you get 3 bloodstained bones from one mob every 5 seconds, you get 2160 bones every hour which gives 10800 gold by turning them into the fist weapon learned from leather working( this is the profit from the bones alone) 

(Archvaldor note: I was actually using the darkmoon faire skinning enchant in my numbers above, with level 3 skinning. The other suggestions should be improvements on my numbers, note breath of the dying is much faster and will not be able when SL releases .)
