Zul'Drak Raptor Farming (Skinning,Gundrak Hatchling Pet & 75-80 Leveling) [HB1+HB2]

Zul'Drak Raptor Farming (Skinning,Gundrak Hatchling Pet & 75-80 Leveling)

UPDATED FOR HB2

So i said i'd share this in the chat room when i hit 80 on it, but didnt know if to post this in the leveling area or the special profiles area.
I Eventually decided upon putting it here, seeing as some of you may want to farm the pet and or leather.

This is my First mesh+profile i have successfully used grinding on my paladin, from 75-80.
Lolozar basin was majorly overcrowded so i made an alternative for myself, probably slower xp, but the possiblity of a pet that sells for a few hundred gold depending on server price, and loads of leather made up for it.

Personal Experience with the profile:
As i mentioned above, it got my my last 5 levels, 4 Gundrak hatchlings, a good chunk of gold from selling greys/whites/greens/leather/arctic fur and a nice pet for all of my characters. (im too lazy to sell and dont really need the gold)

Where it starts?:
Start it up at the Gundrak Flight path in the north eastern corner of Zul'drak.
It is a reasonably Large profile in size, so you wont have to worry much about being seen in one spot over and over grinding a small area.

Mob levels?:
Level 76-77 mobs, maximum of 1 add at one point of the profile, the rest is all single mob killing.
But..if you're a class that has trouble killing 2 mobs then i'd avoid it.

Rare spawn?:
Yes there is sometimes 1 rare spawn at one point in the path.
He has 16k health and can be dropped easilly, giving you an achievement, blue piece of gear and a bag of gold.

Not sure how it will run on another class, but a paladin it was fine.
I wont claim any credit for the location, plenty of raptor pet farming profiles out there for various, but this one is for HB.
Im sure you will tweak it if you like it, or flame me if you dont, as i said, first profile/mesh, go easy on me.

If you use it, best of luck, it served me well!

TL;DR?
My First Profile, go easy.
Farms Leather/Fur
Farms Gundrak Hatchling Pet
Leveled me from 75-80 on a paladin.
Rare Spawn.
Cant Handle adds dont use it.

USE THE ZIP VERSION FOR HB1(v2)

NEW VERSION IS HB2 (V4)
(The New Version is Beta so any bugs report them here)

Seems to work Differently with each version of HB2, so i'll have to remake totally when its more stable in general with navigation and avoidmobs settings.

You can still use it, Just not how i intended it to be used.

Thanks Synik for Testing and Finding out the Avoidmob problem solution.

 

cool. i will try this one tonight and let you know

 

I might try this tonight move my pala from where he is

 

Is this profile alliance or horde?

 

Trying it atm with mixed-av mode. So far working great

 

I believe its neutral.
The Repair is right next to the flight path.

This worked great. Had no problems and it indeed is a fairly large profile out of the way so no one will really find it weird with you there. great profile.

 

Glad you liked it buddy.

 

I'm trying this out atm and runs really well, I need a mailbox though since I'm skinner lol great work

 

Well I've had to stop running this profile, Bags full or leather over 3k on my leatherworker of borean leather :0

Moved to another area that I dont skin lol

 

Yeah, be sure to check your bags every couple hours. I've caught my toon sitting at the vendor with his bags full of borean leather before. I sure am glad they made arctic furs purchaseable with heavy borean!

Great profile.

 

Yeah, I am unlucky when it comes to the arctic fur drop. But 80 stacks of borean makes up for it after a night of skinning

 

I wake up every day and have about 20-30 Arctics in my bags.. but the funny thing is that they are totally worthless on my server. /sadface

 

Set it for one night. About:
90 stacks of borean leather
20 arctic furs
1 pet
a lot of vendor trash sold for about 150g

I found LWker who turn my borean leather into heavy ones, which I exchanged for arctic furs.

If I sell them all I should get around 3,5-4k gold. Easy money.

 

3k kills later.. NO PET, pets dont like me^^

 

using this for farming, its awesome thanks

 

awesome came back to an elite kill and a pet

 

awesome profile I've been running for around 14 hours now and I have 0 deaths.. 2500 borean leather.. 20 arctic.. 1 pet.. and I leveled.

 

Excellent profile. I've gotten two characters from 75-80 on this mesh and have acquired a couple Gundrak Hatchlings and countless leathers/furs.

In fact, I still use this as a leather farming profile at 80 due to its remoteness -- you only run into the occasional quester who's in and out in 10 minutes. My only issue with the profile was the lack of a mailbox (I'd often come home/wake up to see my bags full and my character idling at the repair vendor), so I mapped in a run back to Argent Stand for mail. I've attached this updated profile/mesh.

 

This is a great idea ... but for some reason he never makes it to the mailbox. He stops at the flight path in Gundrak.

The status says "Moving to Mailbox", but he just stands at the ammo vendor with the window open. Doesn't even continue farming. Any ideas how to fix this?
