Hello everyone and thank you for checking out this wow classic video! If you're enjoying these videos or have any questions, please let me know in the comments below, like the videos and subscribe! They really help out the channel and help more people learn these strategies!
Shoutout to Necerium Cloudes for his video recently showing a great ZF leveling strategy! This is a Zul'Furrak (ZF) one pull strategy that can be done at lv 42+! It's an absolutely incredible strategy to be able to go from lv 52 - 54 incredibly fast and is the best speed leveling method on a mage in this level range.
I practiced this on my stream over the past few days and got it down to pretty much a science, so I wanted to share everything that I've learned with all of you. This strategy has allowed me to complete runs in as fast as 6 minutes and 30 seconds resulting in INCREDIBLE xp/hr rates, sometimes reaching upwards of 250k/hr. I settled on a rate of 150k/hr to keep it at an average and attainable goal for most people.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite one pulls and is exceptionally easy to do with the appropriate gear and blizzard one pull strategy. I hope this helps you fly through the levels!
Thank you everyone and I hope this video helped you in some way! If it did or if you have any questions, please let me know in the comments below. Look forward to seeing you all in the next video!

This dude hosted me last night at like 2am EST with 250 viewers while I was showing my discord buddies how to make the Mara pull. Had me shook. I appreciate the host but I wanted to say that I appreciate the videos and use you as a primary source for any farming content I need to learn. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Man, when I first started watching this I was like, "aw man, I don't want to watch a 30 minute video on someone yabbering pointless stuff". Boy was I wrong. Your video is SO full of information and INCREDIBLY helpful and well-edited. Thank you so much for sharing your strategies for this. My mage is 42 and although I know it's going to be rough, your video has made me excited to try this. Thank you so much!
After about 1-2 hours of failing at it gloriously, dying about a dozen times, I managed to pull off my first solo ZF GY farm thanks to this video. Cheers dude! You're awesome.
Had a level 44 mage alt. Watched this video not more than 2 days ago and it's now level 52 after just around 6 hours playtime (Had some rested xp saved up for that first level). This strategy is surprisingly easy to get down, really appreciate the thoroughly detailed video!
I've watched quite a few videos on these runs and I just want to say that yours is the best one out there imo. You explain EVERYTHING!! I've done this ZF GY run for 3 levels now and everything I've had to learn by trial and error (aka: dying loads) you've explained and made clear, plus you even showed how to get out and everything.
I'm also happy you actually gave credit to where you found this, even tho that guy is not the first one who found it or anything but whatever if he wants to make everyone believe he did :p Great vid, love your stuff!
Thank you Tiny Elly, I appreciate it!!! Glad you're getting down the runs!
Except for the talent build...lol
This made me excited to start leveling my mage again, will definitely be trying this out!
Nice man do it!!
Love your rapport and video structure. Will definitely be tuning in to a stream in the future =] Can't wait to practice this tomorrow, so far has been much easier than kiting all of them 😂
I saw the other guys video a couple days ago and I was working on it for a few hours yesterday. I got the killing rotation down really well. You just gave me a few solutions to the places I was having trouble!! Thank you so much!
Awesome man, glad I could help!!
Awesome guide :) Leveled my 44 mage to 49 tonight. Died 2 times, but this was really fun! Continuing the grind tomorrow
For anybody struggling with jumping between the platforms....BUY MOVEMENT SPEED FOR YOUR BOOTS HOLY COW THAT HELPED SO MUCHHHH
nice tip help me a lot ,tnx man
That's the easy part for me, i keep fucking up on the pull and wanting to throw my computer.
Love this!!!! Thank you. Have some trouble pulling that first mob but after dying a bunch at 42, 43 was a ton easier
4 am youtube sesh and I spent 29 mins watching this and I don't even play a mage
Hahaha love it! Thank you :). Hope you got some good sleep after!
Peppis i watched this and dont even play WoW anymore.... 😅
@@arlaeus9491 I don't even play the game😂
hahaha that cracked me up good xD
BRO I DON'T EVEN PLAY WOW AND HAVEN'T SINCE LIKE 2008 AND I STILL WATCHED IT LOL
I think leaving the death in there was a great choice, makes my countless deaths much less frustrating. You rule dude!
This was a really helpful video, thanks!
A few things I learned from starting this at lvl 42 and from tips picked up in other comments:
- If you die a LOT, don't worry, as long as you're improving you'll get there. Took me 4 hours to really start getting it but it CAN be done at level 42 and once you get the hang of it, quite straightforward.
- If you're having trouble deaggroing on the first safe spot, as an alternative run up the hill to the right and jump (mounted) onto the wall. This is a little risky as you've only got 1 try at this. If you miss the wall jump you can skip and try to run to the second safe spot, but you might need to blow your cooldowns nova / cold snap to get there. But if you make it onto the wall, it's EASY to deaggro and you can then hop down a little bit onto one of the posts that sticks out from the wall, , which will allow you to mount up and go for safe spot no. 2.
This vid will show you how to jump onto the wall
ruclips.net/video/2BKLbd56C8A/видео.html
- if you're aggroing the boss in the scarab room and he won't reset, use the safe spot referred in this video, then jump up to the crack in the wall, quickly jump down on to the other side of the wall, run forward and take a left at the end of the wall and jump onto the box on the ground. He will de aggro then once you're on the box.
- if you're having trouble opening graves, just open the first ones Arleus does on the right, hide behind the vase, then run straight to the safe spot behind the boss. Climb up as normal. So you're standing on the ledge directly above the safe spot area, then wand the boss and step back a bit to deaggro after a few seconds. He will summon zombies 1 to 2 at a time from the graves, to save you doing it! Keep doing this until he stops summoning zombies when you aggro him. Takes 5 to 10 minutes but it's safer. Then when you're ready to start the kill, just rank 1 flames trike the stairs in front of the boss and all the mobs will come to you, clumped up and no need for extra pulls.
- as said by others here, if you fall down while jumping between the platforms, immediately sit down behind the left box, as far left as you can. Don't sit too far to the right of this box as the mobs will come to you. Eventually they will all de aggro you might need to shuffle left and right a bit and keeping sitting down again. You can start over the kill once you deaggro everything.
- finally, THAT jump, you know the one I mean at the safe spot in the graveyard room. You don't get much time to try before you get mashed. The jump is actually simple, DON'T run forward as you jump! Press jump and THEN press W to go forward. Point yourself slightly to the right as you do it. 2 hops and you'll be up!
It takes a little longer using the above method to get all the zombies but it's a pain in the arse the method in this video because sometimes mobs don't pull, sometimes the boss comes up on the ledge and kills you and sometimes you pull patrols like witch doctors that you have to keep sheeped, whereas using the "safe" method above that's never ever happened to me in around 8 successful kills! It's worth taking the extra 5 minutes imho
Great video, have done 3 successful pulls now and am getting the hang of it. The pit to the left of the boss is my bane atm lol. I keep coming back to the video to study the niche situations and or issues like mob deaggro and blizz placements.
Took me a couple tries but finally got it down. This is AMAZING!! Subbed for sure, your videos are awesome.
Thank you!
As a friend of mine told me "if zombies had xp each time i was dead, they could be allready 60"
Learning this is one of the most frustrating things i've ever done- and thats just opening the graves without dying. I could have been 60 last week if i just grinded mobs in the open, but now its personal
@@benwhittle9001 Feel like the average player in classic is kinda bad. I started this on my first mage lvl 43 today and it took less than 15 deaths to get the routine down after watching this guide.
@@rappenable less than 15 deaths, thats reasonable. It only takes a few. The thing with this farm is there's multiple ways to do it, each much different to complete. The easiest is just use cone of cold on the floor and run in a circle. But takes a bit longer
Also if you suffer with latency you're gonna have a hard time with these farms. I used to play on US with 120ms all the time and it most definitely makes it a nightmare
@@rappenable i have less than 20 wipes doing this but i have also completed it like 6-7 times too. i have the strategy down perfect but my keyboard sticks sometimes and i miss the jump. every death has been from missing the jump cuz my shitty keyboard. think ill buy a new one i guess?
A few tips for some difficult situations that can arise during this.
1) If you pull the Shadow Hunter: Keep him targeted and sheeped the whole time. I've pulled him like 5 times and he's always been on the far left side so just make sure all your Blizzards are away from him. Kill him afterwards. This is definitely made easier if you properly use your gems and any pots you have.
2) if you pull the Witch Doctor: This one is super easy. You should have a Shoot command for your wand on your bar. If you are on the small pillar (far from the boss) you can hit almost anything from that distance. make sure to wand kill any Healing Totems that the Witch Doctor drops. Killing her after can be an issue as she heals, but just jump back and for using Frostbolt or your wand. She will eventually run out of mana and just drop totems which can be killed.
3) The second save spot jump can be super tricky. I line myeself up with the shadow on the ground and jump about a step or two after I pass the end of the shadow. If you are having a huge problem with it, use the first vase to reset the trailing mobs after the initial run. Then go back and practice the reset jump.
Thanks for the video Arlaeus! Went from 48-52 and made 200g so far in the process!
Awesome video, thank you. This may be common knowledge now, but the spot under where you jump from ledge to ledge during the kill phase (between the wall column and the very first block at the ground level) is also a reset spot. if you fall off when you are on the ledge closest to the witch doctor you can hide in between the two blocks to reset. You can then mount up and jump back up the exact way you came down (all the way back around the witch doctor) to get all mobs once again and repeat the encounter. If the mobs get to you before you make it to the spot they can technically path to you if they have LOS when you enter the spot, however. This spot has saved me quite a few times.
Cant even wait till the end to comment, best walkthrough video ive ever seen. Thank you kindly.

JUST started doing this works flawlessly thanks again brother
Super helpful video!!! Your videos are of great quality and you explain things sooo well. tytyty
Thank you for aways making such straight forward and honest content.
I used this strat (thanks Arlaeus!) to level from 44 to 54 and it was very fast. Some tips:
1) For races that are too tall to use the safe spots and need consumables, you have another option besides noggenfoggers (which aren't available until level 44). Savory deviate delights work perfectly, last an hour, and you can still mount up!
2) If using safe spots on the way to the GY, don't wait just until the mobs are reset. Make sure any totems that are remotely close to you are also down. Otherwise, they tend to put you back in combat when you peek out to mount up.
3) On your first few runs, instead of immediately triggering the boss and opening graves I recommend you lose your trailing mobs behind the pots on the left as you enter the graveyard. Then, with no mobs around, practice the jump up onto the boss's temple. I had a lot of trouble with this jump at first because I was trying to jump in the actual corner, but it's easier if you don't hug the wall.
It took me a few tries to learn it but it's super worth it! You make pretty decent gold as well.
about how long would you say it took you to get those 10 levels
Not sure if this is well known but if you fall, there’s a reset spot. If you notice the pillar broken into 3 pieces, if you run in between the first two, it’ll reset them. Hope I saved you guys a lot of death runs!
Oh man thank you
Thank you so much for the video I rerolled mage after watching it. Finally got my first ZF GY clear lvl 42. Getting the pathing down was the hardest part. I was having trouble with jumping back and forth on the ledge it require precision. However I put minor speed enchant on my boots and that made all the difference in the world. It gives you room for error. I also used mirthril spurs on another pair of boots and I rarely have gotten stunned..
AMAZING video, great explanations.
I found that as UD, some of the "reset" spots had a lot of trouble with shadow mages continuing to keep aggro. Level 44 for reference. Polymorph, counterspell, and making some subtle adjustments behind the boxes did the trick
I found the same thing mate - will try again at 45
Can 100% confirm that Edgemaster's Handguards CAN drop from the "Zul'Farrak Dead Hero" non-elite mob that sometimes spawns from the graves. I was quite shocked seeing them pop up while looting on my 52 Mage.
25:48
There is another reset spot that I just found, after dieying like 10 times by failng the jumps :L
If you fall at the spot where you jump back and forth, there are 3 stones, stand in between the middle one and the one at the wall.
Enemies will evade. So if you fail the jump, you can hide and reset the attempt without having nova / blink through them
thank you so much
Thanks!
I'm confused - I see the two blocks clearly at 25:54, but where is the reset spot? on the ground between them, on the tip on one of them, somewhere else?
I know this vid is a few months old now, but just wanted to say how helpful and clear it actually is. Been leveling my first mage in Classic since Vanilla and was hyped to try this out when I got to 42. Got there tonight and was able to get going right away with hardly any problems at all on my first try surprisingly. Really couldn't ask for a better tutorial on the method!
is this really doable at level 42 without going OOM?
Have used your guidance to level a mage. Quested/Grinded 1-15 in no time at all. I went Stockades boosts 15-28 then SM Arm/Cath 1 pulls 28-40. Started Mara at 40. Currently sitting at level 41 with my mount. 1 day 19 hours played time. Can’t wait to hit level 44 so I can start my zombie training!
My mage just hit 41, perfect time for this video to come out :D
Just to add on this, when you are running your character through ZF and are using the reset spots, there are different positions on the reset spots. So for example, a general rule of thumb, on the second reset spot, if a mob is aggro'd to you from the right side, use the right block to reset. If a mob is on the left side, (will be a patrol) position yourself on the left block that's angled. The first reset spot also has something like this, but I can't remember the rule. You don't need to sit or noggen, just try whatever block you're not behind.
Nice recommendation!!
Are the reset spots (especially the first one) only working for gnomes. I'm a human level 32 and cannot test this right now so i was wondering if you or anyone else knows.
@@McITBOX I did it on a human female Mage and it works. I also did the first spot on a Night Elf Druid and it works too.
@@psyonicpanda Thanks. I tested if i could reset the aggro with my warrior. Works perfextly and you dont even have to jump with a mount to get up on the ledge.
God this is so much better than other guide I watched. thanks got it first try after watching
Excellent, love your detail in the videos!
Great timing on this video. I just started trying this.
Nice man!! Good luck let me know if you have any questions :)
Man ima try when in not drinking but 42 just seems bit impossible unless your life is wow
Jesse Q Yeah you would have to be super sweaty to do it at 42. I am at 46 and it is still easy to mess up. It takes a lot of practice.
@@matshepherd118 well im glad im not the only one xD try again around 46+
This is annoying as fuck. Back to slow ass quest leveling I guess.
Feels so good when you get things like this down. Same with Tribute runs as a hunter. Although I do consider that quite a bit more challenging. Some advice: It gets way easier reaching GY at 43.
Yeah I still found 42 too hard died a few times, better to just pay a booster for a level or two you'll get it back soon as your start it yourself
It does not get any easier at 43 it’s still ridiculous
@@vapegeta5304 44 is becomes pretty easy once you have the run down
why at 43? what happens?
It just gets easier when you get the hang of it and when they turn green you can run through way easier
Great explanation and tricks! Thanks a lot for the video!=)
When you fail your jump from wall to wall and you know that you cant make it up again without diing. There is also a save spot on the very left rock when you look direction north.(its the right rock at 24:49) If thats the rock width: [_______], stand here [_x____], sit down and wait. Sometimes its hard to get them off you and 1 or 2 mobs will remain. just frostnova and run/jump to the next save spot and restart your procedure. Even you have to start killing the zombies from 0 its still better then diing ;). Thank you for the great video Arlaeus :)
26:06 that face, when you laugh at your own mistakes, lololol good job dude.
You are my hero when it comes to learning all these runs!
Thank you Jessi!
@@arlaeus9491 Great content. Little hiccup though : as a 42 when you have (with some difficulty as the vase in the zombie room bugs sometimes) opened all the graves, you cannot pull the zombies that are in the entrance of the room because when you do and move to the spot to aoe them you have to go through the ledge behind the boss and you aggro him and he doesn't seem to reset (like at 5:40 in the video) so you can't aoe down the mobs. Anyone having this problem ? And a solution to this ?
I hope I made myself clear as it a bit tricky to explain this :D
Thank you and the guy who has shared it!
Awesome method of leveling and gathering additional gold from this :)
Saw you do this live on twitch and was amazed! Awesome stuff!
Thank you!!
Arlaeus thank you, with your methods I’ve been helping a ton of people out and have been making some serious coin, wanted to say keep creating, thank you again, and have a good rest of your day boss!
ur awesome for giving credit to the guy who discovered this
Yeah I made this, but I believe he had issues finding my video.
It'd be nice to get credit.
Unless I'm mistaken, I posted the first vid of this method
@@dylanalpers I think I got to it around mid feb.
@@justbeagreen206 pretty sure I was the first one to do this.
@@MauiWowie51 So wheres the video to prove you claim
Amazing video! Thank you for all the info about this strategy, i'm having some success with it (still learning). One question, once the pull is finished, how do i get back to the entrance to reset it?
log out
Some really good tips here, thanks for that. Gonna give it a try again when I get home from work. I gave up on this and went with the coc farm instead because I couldn't get it down but this video should help me get the technique right. Cheers!
42-52 was a breeze, thank you mate :D
Finally got my first run done at lvl 42 after 8 attempts thanks a lot man!
Just watched video try this tip out as you run through the graveyard when you get to witch doctor to start the event open the graves to your right only. hide behind the vase in the back of the room wait for reset mount up shimmy up the wall wand boss back n fourth dropping aggro for 4-5 minutes or until when you start combat no more graves get open by the boss then run around the boss like you did r1 flame strike the stairs to boss and another r1 fs right as they turn the corner and they will be so clumped it's free I took my mage from 42-53 in about 6-7 hours
Interesting Michael thank you very much!!
LOL this works, thanks mate!
This is a great tip! It feels like it's slow, but it clumps them up and is 100% safe. I just spent 2,5 hours getting my first successfull GY clear, @lvl 42, holy moly even just getting to the GY is a challenge in it self. Also thanks to the wonderful people who wrote about the safespot if you fall down, while aoe'ing, at least it's easy to get a do-over:) Helped me lots!
Do you happen to have a vid of this?
@@dongolio Of wanding the boss to get all the zombies or the safe spot?
This is so hard to master lol
After a full day of grinding 43 to 49 this is fantastic
Took alot of practice at 42 but by the time i was 43 i had it nailed, brilliant tutorial!
@5:56 - This is going to sound dumb, but before attempting for the first time practice that jump (or even the jumps and loops around the perimeter of the GY). It looks simple, but if you aren't used to it, it's easy to miss and fall. I tried to do it with the pull and got splatted pretty fast :) And also, thanks for the video and extremely detailed tutorial - this is great! I can't wait till I get it down perfectly.
Good luck man keep practicing you'll get it!
Wow, tried this and was it easy as heck, first pull was no problem. This is amazing
Nice job!!
Love the video, just wish you had 1 more thing to say about when killing scarabs. I always get one of two things happening after ice block -> frost nova and starts blizzard, patrol ALWAYS comes and gets aggro'd and/or always 1 scarab that doesnt get nova'd, just 1. Anything or tips for this?
I'm having the same issue..only 1 scarab ruins everything every single time. >< What level were you when you tried? I'm lvl 51, maybe at 52 it won't escape the nova.
ARLAEUS YOU ARE THE MAN!! I did wipe for about 2 hours but then I got it down and omg its so amazing thank you 🙏🏻
Great content! I will say it seems you got the most optimal arrangement of mobs. Instantly much harder for those who are 42 and have the melee mobs closest to pathway in early ZF. You seem to (and me on my first clear) seem to have gotten the casters toward the path, which gives you more time to get away and not get hit by melee mobs. Specifically the groups at and after @12:14 . Nice though!
Used my level 60 BiS fury warrior to clear to GY, then brought it mage to clear at level 41. then logged warrior out and did full GY at level 41. 40 would be possible as well, but it takes about 200 jumps due to all the resists.
I just tested at level 40. Got it on the first try with a lot of mana to spare. I've done this with a mage before, though. Only a 45 blood drinker wouldn't die... so when it was all that was left, I jumped and reset.
@@Marcos-ee2rd bullshit
@@tonibaroni What I could gain by BS'ing here is beyond me. It's perfectly possible and not even hard if you already know how to do it. I just made sure I had some dungeon blues and eagle greens.
@@tonibaroni I can confirm. its my first mage in classic, on a new server. only item from dungeon i had was Illusionary rod from SM lib. rest of my gear was a good mix of "of the eagle" and "of the owl". i started out at lvl 40. Used about 12 invis pots to get to lvl 42, due to failing and trying before i could even get to the GY. few attempts at opening the graves before i got it right. I just mixed R1 and R3 of blizzard to conserve mana, and i got it down. only died once during the killphase, due to i was late to jump once
Haven't Arlaeus have done the complete run now with lvl 40?
Remember, that jump, along with most AoE farming, is so much easier with minor movement speed on boots.
Oh crap yes I forgot to mention the minor run speed! Definitely have that everyone if you don't already!
i think your videos are something else...
they way you explain is just perfect!!
nice job!
Thank you very much!!
Very well put together video @arlaeus. Well done sir.
this guy reminds me of Hobbs. One of my all time favorit lvling by paladin. With tips and tricks aswell from classic/tbc =D
Thank you man :)
Hey everybody, Hobbs here.
Man thats' why I loved classic and old content.
Creators just wanting to make your life easier or show you a trick
@@tauceti8341 dude stop talking shit - ur not hobbs.
Here's a couple things I've learned:
-Be careful when you're on the "short" ledge. You do NOT want to be standing too far back when pulling the mobs, they can hit you from the bottom. Here's a drawing: imgur.com/a/Y3HVuCa
-If you pull a shadowhunter or a witch doctor during the final kill, you HAVE to polymorph them. Use your max rank poly, and poly them outside of your AoE. Make sure they're poly'd until the end of the fight. Afterwards, loot up, wand them, and run to a reset spot. Shadowhunters are the biggest problem. Witch doctors aren't as big of a deal, but you'll want to poly them so you can loot after the kill.
-Minor speed enchant for your boots will help you out tremendously
-Make sure you have some sort of vendor price addon. Some gray items sell for ~1g, you don't want to throw it away for a crap recipe.
-Use int/stam gear for getting to the farming spot and opening graves, switch to int/spirit gear for the kill.
Great video. I gave it 10 attempts at level 42, couldn't get it done until level 43. Now I got it down pat, was able to level from 43-47 in 4.5 hours. That's insane.
Thx for the tips.
Can I ask you if you still remember what kind of gear you were using?
@@qu4nt0 of the whale gear to get to the farming spot and opening graves (stam/int) and of the owl for the kill (spirit/int)
how do you get out of the instance?
@@hanspetervollhorst1
There's 2 ways
1: Invite a friend to the group. Give him lead. Log off, friend resets all instances, log back in. You're back at the front of the entrance.
2: Get a friend to invite you and one of your alts into a group. Friend leaves group. After you finish dungeon, log onto alt. Wait 2 minutes for lead to be passed to your alt. Reset instance
#2 doesn't require a friend to reset the instance every time, just need one to invite your alt to a group. It's what I used for the grind.
Really nicely done and detailed video man, thanks! Am lvl 43 now, gonna start this at lvl 44 just to make it easier. I am wearing the same hat as you are in the video XD
Hha heck ya man nice!! Good luck!
I ve studied your method while leveling to 42 and was able to get it first try. Cheers sir for the amazing content.
Thanks for the shoutout buddy!
As a gnome (42) who just started doing this. I keep constantly getting stuck in the GY trying to get up on the ledge reset spot and die. having to reset and start over. Is there a trick to jump up there effectively?
On the stairs facing the boss there is a little cubby on the right that you can run in and jump up on the platform. It takes a little more time than the corner but its safer. One warning is that if a caster is close enough they can still cast on you but after jumping up you can just run around the side to the same corner and hide behind the statue until the reset.
Crazy. I was in the same guild as Necerium Cloudes for a couple of years. So cool to see him mentioned here :D We used to play on Shazzrah Horde.
I watched your video twice before I attempted it. It is really, really hard at 42... had lots of deaths. Took around 1.5 days to get from 42 to 43 but this was in between work when working from home.
However, once I got to 43 it changed instantly, perfect runs and got to 44 in like an hour. The mobs at the beginning don't aggro as much so it's a lot easier to get to gy which is the main cause of death in general with this method.
Thanks for the video and for explaining everything!
God this makes me want to level a second mage.
Do it!!
just level one on opposite faction now
Is this patched?
@@xo2963 no
FYI, This is much easier than the Cone of Cold strat. I spent like 2 hours trying to learn the CoC strat, I got this on my 2nd try. Very easy and effective.
So it took about two hours to learn this farm, but after I got it down the xp/hr was actually insane!
42-48 in about 6 hours averaging around 100-150k/hr!
Very thorough video and excellent info. Thanks for posting it!
well the pull mechanic is broken. and very little explanation about it.
that you learned it in 2 hours kudos to you, but the pulls are not easily explained in any way.
the most important part of the video is kinda at the mark when he said to jump back and forth to dont dis-aggro the mobs.
well breaking news, it's not that easy.
there are 95% of the time some stranglers still down there, either you 1) do the (dangerous) effort and pull them as well which is really inconfinient. or 2) you just do smaller pulls.
to get this down to pull all mobs you need alot more knowledge than just jump back and forth 2 times and that it . lul...
I didn’t find this to be the case at all. I watched the video twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything, and then just applied it. Sucks it didn’t work out that easily though because this farm has been amazing for me.
@@scrimptv2783 I jump back and forth back and forth, the first third of the pull in 60-70% of the cases disengages.
with no obvious reason to me, since sometimes they come and sometimes they disengage. it seems random to me.
the other 2 thirds have stranglers almost all the time standing around and not coming with the pull (even when pulling the first mob in the chain so they should all come...)
either you found something out by coincidence and feels natural to you but wont get mentioned in this video here or I do something obvious wrong.
thanks for responding anyway.
So he explains that you can’t be on the long one that goes to the boss or they will reset
This is an awesome tactic and great video! One hint when trying to get this down especially as 42-43 levels is to use another safe spot instead of the first boxes on the left. Rather jump on top of the wall on the right because then you can skip some mobs, you are certain to reset all aggro no matter which race you play and it's way easier getting safely to the second safe spot since it's a straight route through only two pack of mobs from the end of the wall. Really enjoyed mastering this method and it's great change of pace leveling like this.
Awesome man, thank you!!
Awesome video!!! Though you mentioned early on that you would go over gear and talents at the end but you never did. Can you at least write that up?
What are the talents??
As a Troll Mage. I can say I had major problems with the safespots. I decided to try Savory Deviate Delight to turn myself into a Human. Now I'm going through every time as a 42 level.
Ya dude, I can't get the second one to work at all.
Simon Try the fish bro :)
Awesome guide, cant wait to try it out!
this was super helpful thanks!
nice i was just watchin the other guys vid
Nice man! Thank you for watching mine as well :)
Missed one of the most important parts, which was the talents. Any chance you can add that when you have a chance please. Otherwise another great video! Appreciate all the time you put into your videos.
Sorry I accidentally deleted that part while editing (major fail on my part haha). I can’t add them into the video unfortunately but it’s full frost with skipping frost bolts, frostbite, shatter and winters chill. Then arcane to pick up clearcasting once you get hit enough
@@arlaeus9491 Thank you for a great video, but still a little confused about the talent points... can you please use wow heads talent calculator classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/mage , fill up the talents there for lvl 42 and lets say 54, create links to both and put them into description section below the video? This way we will know exactly where to put our starting points in and how to proceed from there. Thanks in advance!
@@DJAcidon Just use the normale aoe mage guides, this works perfectly. JokerD guide for example
I was finally able to get this down and it was so satisfying! Tried the invis pot strat at 40-41 and had no luck. Looking forward to flying through levels 42-54 now :)
Just tried this on my 42 mage and getting to the graveyard is rough but following your tips helped, its mainly that last long run to the GY that gets you dazed and killed. The other thing I struggle with is getting the boss to drop combat when i walk past above him.
i keep getting a mob casting shadowbolt at me when trying to clear the gy
Managed this run on my level 46 Warlock, died once on the way to the Graveyard but had my Soulstone up.
The Dead Heroes are immune to Shadow Damage, so you'd prefer not getting those. Still need to clean out the run... getting to the Graveyard was the hardest part of it all.
Since oyu don't do real AoE but instead just DoT things up, you don't need to pull the whole place in 1 go. Took me about 20 minutes to kill all zombies the first time.
So you just did a few zombies then? Like 3 then dot and jump back and forth with a imp
You can pull as many as you want/dare. Takes quite some jumps though.
Did the while GY in 2 pulls most of the time.
@@Stompy1984 Hey, Did a grave run with a Warlock. You can also search for videos with Warlock GY. But it will never be efficient afaik. You have no way to stack them up. You could maybe go deep into demo and use Void Bubble and insta get a new one. But most likely too much dmg. No slow, no Bubble makes things uneffectiv.
Plz proof me wrong.
Btw. i used Void bubble to get to the graves and it was relativ easy after some tries.
regards.
Great video mate! Thanks for this! Btw. I am a female troll. Had huge problems loosing aggro, untl I started using Savory Delight. Turns out human female is great size to hide.
I did it !! Took about 20-30 tries at lvl43. But damn those first 2 reset points behind the boxes are tricky with pats coming in. You need to reposition yourself from side to side of the boxes and try losing agro from mobs who are sometimes looking at you from both sides one by one. They can see you when you're in the crevice between the boxes as well so keep that in mind. Also minor speed on boots helps alot, and some mana and hp pots. You should wait till your shield has about 5-10 seconds left on cooldown because you want to use it again when approaching the reset points, you can use it before or after u blink the last distance. And do blink, it makes it easier. At the aoe part try to agro the packs of zombies quickly after eachother else you're gonna have a hard time getting them packed closely. Also if you're running low on mana and your evocation is on cd just stop aoeing and do the jump a few more times to give yourself some time to replenish mana. Tnx for the video and tips !!
Finally clicked for me today, thank you!
Took me 6 hours to start getting it, down to 11 min runs
Thank you for the video, I have been doing ZF ever since :D Only thing I can't figure out is how you get up on the wall when you pull the scarabs :D
Jump near the pot!
@@arlaeus9491 Same here. I can not seem to get on the wall...to reset the boss. I just keep jumping and jumping as an undead mage. I can't figure out how to get up on the wall. What you do looks like magic.. how you jump on that wall. How the heck do you do it? (it frustrates me because i want to do it).
The better answer is that you go on the inside of the area and jump towards that crevace in the wall, even as a female gnome you can jump climb up the inside of that wall formation on the opposite side of the pots he jumps on.
I've spent so much time trying to jump onto that damn ledge in that graveyard when you enter. But in the end i finally learned how to do it. Sadly this is the only mage aoe run i learned to do consistently. SM, ZG were 30% effective... i panic what can I say. But thank you for taking the time to make it (btw I blame myself for not doing the runs well). I stoped playing a year ago. Eas fun playing classic since I couldn't while I was younger. Best wishes to you and hope you are doing well!
thank you Arlaeus!! Im blasting from 45-50+ right now. Takes a few tries to get the hang of it but well worth it! About 4-5 bars per run if i successfully aggro most mobs
took around 3 hrs to get it, the first time the xp rolled in felt so fucking good
yes XD feels like you are breaking the game
@@matthewbengston10 hahaha! Yes! I just completed my first two successful runs after several failed tries, and it does feel amazing! And the cherry on top was that my very first mob dropped the lvl 40 epic dagger xD I was suuuper elated!
Don G dam. I was 44 2 days ago dinged 54 yesterday. Hopefully get 2 more levels today. My friend got edge masters off one of the undead heros. Not sure if you can get off the zombies or not.
@@matthewbengston10 nice, grats dude. And to your friend :D Arlaeus said they can only drop off 46+ mobs.
Don G yes mate must be that
at 42 mobs just continually aggro to me in safe spots, making it impossible to mount up
I noticed that too, the safe spot has to block their LoS (Line of Sight) so for instance with the blocks, tuck in close to the block and avoid their sight and they’ll reset. The fountain is a TERRIBLE “safe spot”. Don’t use it.
Love the detail in this presentation. I still cannot jump up easily onto the first safe point by the boss... You may want to add a comment that you can get hit in the back on the short ledge as they run by if you are too close to the mob edge.
Minor Speed Enchant on your boots should help
awesome vids. very helpful thanks!
Sometimes I wonder why I rolled warrior. Mages are so broken sometimes
I mean if you raid with a warrior you do waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more dps on bosses than a mage could ever dream of.
After you are done you can pull the scrabs the same way! EPIC XP
this is impossible for me for some reason. as soon as iceblock goes away im instant dead half the time even with other shields up... and almost all of my gear is "of the eagle"
@@Dashdedeh don't use IB for scrabs just pull 1 and run around 1 time to get em all and then run up to the spot and aoe em down! :)
BROOO i didnt even think of this!!! epic idea
@@BosnaVolimte they reset as soon as you jump on top
@@dziugaspalionis3109 that is why you need to ice block and then nova and get on toæ to flamestrike em to keep the aggro to not reset :)
Practiced for like 4 hours, made a lot of stupid mistakes( first time playing mage) but in the end I got it , the XP I got from the mobs are so satisfying, thanks a lot for the content, appreciate it !
thanks dude! i went from 44 to 52 in 2 days, started and failed at 42 so i boosted to 44 and it was easy going since then
The most op spell in the game is named after the company that made it “blizzard”
Dude this farm is insane
These farms are so dumb i'm shocked they don't nerf these. (and to everyone saying it's classic no changes one of the farms I used to do got nerfed 2 days after I did it with a few buddies)
@@dillonjarman1270 - Chill. That spot you had likely did not exist in vanilla.
@@27Zangle It actually did the only problem is you needed a lot of people to make it effective which is why I was shocked they nerfed.
@@dillonjarman1270 - Did it? Interesting. I doubt they are going to nerf these runs though. It would cause a lot of upset.
@@27Zangle what cause people have to actually play the game they'll be upset? Oh well.
Well done and thanks for all the detail. :)
Nice video! The only hurdle to get started with this farm was to actually get to the GY cleanly, but after that was under control the actual farm wasn't bad at all :D A little tip for others; if you get one of those mobs that heal, hex or shoot you with a bow, just sheep it and evade it at the end. Not worth it to finish it alone.
