WoW Classic AoE Leveling — Guides · WoW Classic

AoE leveling means pulling a whole group of enemies, keeping them together and killing them at once instead of one at a time. It needs a class whose spells slow, root or hold many enemies and hit them all, the talents that make those spells cheap and safe, and a place where weak enemies without spells stand close together. Each guide below gives the build at every stage, the pull step by step and the spots that suit it.

Class guides

The other classes level faster on one or two enemies at a time. Their guides: Leveling builds · Leveling guide

AoE farming spots

Spots where enemies without spells stand close enough to pull together, by level. Each shows its area on the World Map, its creatures, what a kill is worth and how to work it.

Torn Fin murlocs on Hillsbrad's west coast
Hillsbrad Foothills · Levels 28–32
Easy
Torn Fin Coastrunners and Muckdwellers along Hillsbrad's western shore: melee-only murlocs at levels 28–30, close together on open sand, the first good mage AoE pulls after Blizzard ranks up.

Creatures
- Torn Fin CoastrunnerLevels 29–30 · 28 spawns
- Torn Fin MuckdwellerLevels 28–29 · 19 spawns
Pros
- Melee only: every murloc follows you into the Blizzard
- Open beach with room to kite
- Clams and fish oil add a little vendor value
Cons
- Murlocs move fast and call friends, so pulls grow by themselves
- Low money per kill
Requires:
Blizzard, Frost Nova and Cone of Cold; Improved Blizzard makes the pulls safe.
Competition:
A common Horde and Alliance leveling coast: other players thin the packs at busy times.
How to farm it, step by step
1. 1.Where to stand: Start at one end of the strand with open sand behind you, so you can walk back while channeling.
2. 2.Pull: Run along the waterline through the Coastrunners and Muckdwellers until four to eight are following you.
3. 3.Group them up: Turn and walk back the way you came so they line up behind you; turn to face them once they are within a few yards of each other.
4. 4.Abilities: Frost Nova as they bunch up, step out of melee range, then channel Blizzard over the pack; Improved Blizzard and Permafrost keep them crawling through it. Cone of Cold and a second Frost Nova (after its cooldown or Cold Snap) cover the last seconds. At these levels, a lower Blizzard rank costs less mana for the same slow.
5. 5.Kite: If the Nova breaks early, walk back along the open beach and Cone of Cold the front of the pack before channeling again.
6. 6.Finish: Arcane Explosion or a last Cone of Cold finishes murlocs below a quarter of their health.
7. 7.Recover: Drink conjured water and eat between pulls; save Evocation and a mana gem for a pull that runs long. Rebuff Frost or Ice Armor and Ice Barrier before the next pull.
8. 8.Avoid: Torn Fin Oracles and Tidehunters further east along the coast cast spells; keep the pull to the melee murlocs here.

Pros

- Silk cloth on about 30% of kills
Cons
- Respawn is slower here (about 6½ minutes)
- Militia hit a little harder than the laborers
Requires:
Improved Blizzard; Arctic Reach helps cover the field.
How to farm it, step by step
1. 1.Where to stand: Start on the field's edge furthest from the farmhouse so the pull walks away from the buildings.
2. 2.Pull: Run through the laborers in the fields until five to eight follow you.
3. 3.Group them up: Loop once around the edge of the field to bunch them, then face the pack.
4. 4.Abilities: Frost Nova as they bunch up, step out of melee range, then channel Blizzard over the pack; Improved Blizzard and Permafrost keep them crawling through it. Cone of Cold and a second Frost Nova (after its cooldown or Cold Snap) cover the last seconds.
5. 5.Kite: Kite along the open field; fence lines and the farmhouse are the only obstacles.
6. 6.Finish: Arcane Explosion when they reach you at low health.
7. 7.Recover: Drink conjured water and eat between pulls; save Evocation and a mana gem for a pull that runs long. Rebuff Frost or Ice Armor and Ice Barrier before the next pull.
8. 8.Avoid: Nothing else hostile stands in the farm; just keep pulls away from the buildings so you don't snag a second group.

Creatures
- Syndicate ThiefLevels 33–34 · 6 spawns
- Syndicate FootpadLevels 32–33 · 7 spawns
Pros
- Melee humanoids: silk cloth and coin on every kill
- Close to Southshore and Tarren Mill for selling
Cons

How to farm it, step by step
1. 1.Where to stand: Approach from the open ground beside the camp rather than through its buildings.
2. 2.Pull: Body-pull the Thieves and Footpads one tent at a time until four to six follow you.
3. 3.Group them up: Lead them out of the camp onto open ground and let them gather behind you.
4. 4.Abilities: Frost Nova as they bunch up, step out of melee range, then channel Blizzard over the pack; Improved Blizzard and Permafrost keep them crawling through it. Cone of Cold and a second Frost Nova (after its cooldown or Cold Snap) cover the last seconds.

6. 6.Finish: Cone of Cold or Arcane Explosion on the last few.

Pros
- Beasts with no casters
- Skinning: heavy and medium leather
- Raptor hides vendor for a few silver
Cons
- No coin drops
- Screechers, crocolisks and spiders share the area and wander into pulls
Requires:
Improved Blizzard and Permafrost: raptors are fast.
How to farm it, step by step

2. 2.Pull: Tag raptors one at a time as you run past, aiming for four to six.
3. 3.Group them up: Raptors run fast, so turn and Frost Nova as soon as the last one closes in.
4. 4.Abilities: Frost Nova as they bunch up, step out of melee range, then channel Blizzard over the pack; Improved Blizzard and Permafrost keep them crawling through it. Cone of Cold and a second Frost Nova (after its cooldown or Cold Snap) cover the last seconds.

Pros
- Melee only and slow
- Elemental Earth drops on about one kill in nine
- Good vendor value: stone pieces sell for several silver
Cons
- No coin
- Spread over a wide area
Requires:
Frost spells (they resist nothing frost-related); paladins with Consecration and a shield can tank them too.

Elemental Earth is a reagent for six professions; its auction price depends on your realm. The stones' vendor value adds up on its own.
How to farm it, step by step
1. 1.Where to stand: Work the open ground in the south of the zone; the elementals stand apart, so plan a loop.
2. 2.Pull: Aggro three to five elementals as you run between them.
3. 3.Group them up: They are slow: let them gather into one tight group before you stop.
4. 4.Abilities: Frost Nova as they bunch up, step out of melee range, then channel Blizzard over the pack; Improved Blizzard and Permafrost keep them crawling through it. Cone of Cold and a second Frost Nova (after its cooldown or Cold Snap) cover the last seconds. Paladins: Consecration under the pack with Blessing of Sanctuary and Retribution Aura up.

8. 8.Avoid: Nothing hostile shares this area; watch for other players' pulls.
