↖ Optimal Mage Build for AoE Farming

To make great AOEs during farming, you need to make choices regarding character build and appropriate runes. 

In order to employ this strategy, level up in:

• Arcane Subtlety (2 points): Lowers magical defenseability of targets.
• Arcane Focus (3 points): Improves hitting chance for Arcane spells.
• Wand Specialization (2 points): Enables better use of wand.
• Arcane Concentration (5 points): Gives occasional clear casting.
• Improved Arcane Explosion (3 points): Increases efficiency of your Arcane Explosion.
• Elemental Precision (1 point): Raises hit rate with Frost and Fire spells.

 

 

For runes, look at:

• Living Bomb
• Living Flame
• Regeneration Chest

These runes are crucial on each pull because they help deal damage while also healing you.

 

↖ AoE Farming Strategy in Azurelode Mine

On your way to the Azurelode Mine, find Hillsbrad Sentries, Foremen and Miners. Move towards your enemies at a fast pace with attracting 13 mobs at once strategy. 

 

 

A normal farming cycle can be broken down as follows:

• Outside Pull: Fight Hillsbrad Sentries. Use Regeneration, Living Bombs and Arcane Explosion for both healing and damage.
• First Indoor Pull: Follow the same strategy inside the mine but apply Living Flame strategically to heal or cause damage.
• Subsequent Pulls: Go on pulling mobs by using Blink or Living Bomb with an aim of crowd control and gaining control over it too.

Keep mobs within AoE spells range during pulls for maximum effect.

 

↖ Looting Strategy

The aim is to collect silk and wool cloth, vendor grays, green items, and an occasional rare drop. If items fail to sell after the third auction listing them, vendor them. Depending on server economy, Disenchanting may not always be profitable.

 

↖ Tips for Efficient Farming

• Stay Hydrated: Invest in level 25 Water to get good mana generation.
• Use World Buffs: BFD can increase speed as well as healing thereby improving efficiency.
• Assist Other Players: Your farming becomes more effective if you assist others in the area and reduces competition for mobs.
• Be Cautious: Be prepared for potential PvP encounters and learn how to effectively manage dying risks.

 

↖ Expected Earnings and Conclusion

You could see a substantial increase in your gold, up to potentially 300 gold per hour depending on drops and auction sales. This is one spot that remains consistently profitable and less rng dependent than other farming methods.

 

In summation with the right strategy, spec & patience the Azurelode Mine can be a gold mine for any Mage in WoW Classic's Season of Discovery. Keep an eye on PVP threats and understand that server's economy might require some changes too. Happy farming, may your loot be plentiful!
