Popular Grinds

You only need 2-3 people to do a grind that has the potential to upgrade an entire guild. This page is dedicated to explaining the most important ones.

## Silithus Grind

The Silithus Grind for Cenarion reputation works as follows:

* You kill Twilight Cultists to loot their texts and the Twilight armor set (Shoulders, Robe, Head)
* You then don the twilight armor and right click on a Lesser Windstone. This produces a elite elemental of a random type (Aqua, Wind, Earth, Fire) with around 8K HP; the elemental is immune to its own type. When you kill the elemental, it drops an Abyssal Crest. These also drop a guaranteed Abyssal Green item with random stats (a high-statted level 55 green). These are equivalent in stats to blues in early BRD and disenchant into level 60 ingredients (Illusion Dust, Greater Eternal Essence, Large Brilliant Shard).
* For every 3? Abyssal Shards, you can don another set of twilight armor and click on a Windstone. This produces a stronger elite elemental that should be 5-manned at least. These elementals produce an Abyssal blue item and also a random Abyssal ingredient?
* The final Abyssal ingredient can then be used with another thing to summon an Abyssal Council raid boss at a Greater Windstone. The raid boss should be completed with 15-20 players and is comfortably killed by the guild. It then drops 1 blue and 1 epic; the epics can be better than T1 and possibly T2, with far less risk.

## Hyjal Farm

Hyjal works on a currency basis. Quest items, small dream shards, and fading dream shards drop from across the zone, even if you do not have the quests, and if you turn them in, you get Bright Dream Shards (BDS). All 3 types of shards can be "harmonized" into higher or lower versions of the shards.

rolls, Furbolg, and non-Satyr demon areas can contain elites that smack VERY hard and are not recommended unless you have a full group including a healer. However, Satyrs can easily be farmed in groups of 3 even without a healer - these can be a sweet spot.

Roughly speaking:

* 5-25 = Random Pre-Requisites and Consumables
* 50-75 BDS = 1 Recipe
* 150 BDS = 1 epic-quality item
* 500 BDS = epic mount.

Particularly Good Ones:

* Nordranaar Tea (1 small shard)
* Dreamsteel belt buckle (10 int) https://database.turtle-wow.org/?item=61785

## Skinning grinds

Skinnings farms are relatively simple and often can be done solo. While Rugged Leather is something you can get fairly easy, other mats need to be specifically farmed. For more detailed Leatherworking items guide go see Leatherworking.

### Winterspring

Easiest one of them, and least desirable is winterspring mobs farm. You can get Warbear, Frostsaber and Chimera Leather from corresponding mobs. They are used for the epic elemental LW set. They are fairly easy to farm, and not much of them required for the set, so this should be only done if you really like snowy views.

### Devilsaurs

Devilsaur set is a physical dps set. It is really good pre-raid option. Unfortunately it requires 22 pieces of Devilasur Leather to craft. Devilsaurs are lvl 54-56 Elite mobs wanderin around in Un'goro, and this farm is relatively easy to do if you know what you doing, but can be lethal due to mob density, and other wandering elites. For detailed Devilsaurs farming description go see Devilsaur Farm.

### Dragonscales

Dragonscales are materials used for dragonscale leatherworker to make mail armor. Out of the 5 sets that exist, 2 of them are viable option. For detailed Dragonscale farming description go <Here (I'll Add this Later)>.

#### Black Dragonscale

Black Dragonscale is a physical dps set. It is decent pre-raid option. Materials for it can be relatively easily farmed solo. Black Dragonscale is usually farmed from open world elites in Burning Steppes (lvls 50-58 elites). Just like devilsaurs however it can become dangerous if you are not paying attention, or not know that you doing.

#### Red Dragonscale

Red Dragonscale is a healer set. It is really good pre-raid option. Materials for it should not be attempted to farm solo. Red Dragonscale is usually farmed from open world elites in Wetlands (lvl 57-63 elites). This farm is extremely dangerous for solo and ungeared players, so proper 5 man party is recommended. If you want to know what happens when ungeared players go for red drakes read the The Tale of Solski's Last Stand. Its also worth noting, that in order to skin the higher lvl dragons, u gonna need both skinning enchant, and skinning dagger.
