My auctions finally are complete for my little mining experiment. From my hour of flying around and mining in Arathi Highlands I made $214 Gold. The only thing that didn't sell was 2 of my stacks of Iron Bars. For an hour in a low level zone that is not to bad.
Keep in mind this experiment was done on a character with epic flying, don't let this discourage you from mining in this zone. It still is favorable, especially if you are questing there anyways.
Of course results with vary per player and how over run the zone is with other miners. If there is lots of competition then I stay away and do it another day.
Also keep in mind that depending how fast you can travel around the zone this will also depend on how much you make. An epic flyer is faster then a ground mount.
Anyways more post to come, stay tuned!
Happy Farming =)

Mining In Arathi Highlands
Arathi Highlands use to be a favorite lowbie mining spot to mine and I wanted to see if it still was. I was impressed with the spawn time for mines, up until my last flight around (hardly anything spawned). I also killed 3 lowbie rares and went into caves 6 times or so. I also got 2 blues. One dropped and one was in a Silverbound chest.
Before I get into what I got in total and what not, I will post about the rares for anyone interested.
The first rare I came across was in the cave in Drywhisker Gorge. His name is, Geomancer Flintdigger, you can visit Wowhead to learn more about this rare,
Gromancer Flintdigger
The second rare was Zalas Witherbark, you can find him in a cave in Witherbark Village. You can learn more about him here,
Zalas Witherbark
And the final rare was Nimar the Slayer, this rare is also in Withbark Village. He is on the outside by some trolls dancing, you can find him at a table. Learn more about him here,Nimar the Slayer
These rares were not all that great, but I suggest reading up on them on WoWhead from other players, that way you can see if they are worth killing or not.
Alright so first I will share the non mining stuff I collected. Now during the hour I was in Arathi I only wanted to mine, but when I saw rares I killed them and killed a few other NPCs because they were attacking/in the way. Anyways I got a few pieces of cloth, since this toon doesn't have cloth I will be sending the cloth to my mage and she will sell it, since she has a lot of cloth. I got 7 greens in total and 2 blues. The blues I got were, Ranger Bow and Lil Timmy's Peashooter. The bow dropped off a random troll in Witherbark Village and the Peakshooter was in a chest.
Now for the mining items.
~ 1 Shadowgem
~ 1 Lesser Moonstone
~ 4 Jade
~ 2 Aquamarine
~ 27 Silver
~ 27 Mithril
~ 30 Tin
~ 8 Gold
~ 93 Iron
~ 28 Coarse Stone
~ 107 Heavy Stone
~ 47 Solid Stone
Today was a good day to choose lowbie mines. I just put up a lot of the items on the AH. The greens will be going to my mage for disenchanting, and the mining stuff that is not equal to making a stack will be saved for another time. Once the auctions are completed I will make a new post about the results. I timed it and kept track of anything of importance. So we shall see how much I make from the hour of farming. My auctions are up for 48 hours, so we shall see what happens. Once everything sells (or is returned) in the 48 hours I will make a new post about it!

Panther Cub Quest
To start the quest chain for the Panther Cub in STV you need to first visit Bwemba, she can be found at the Stormwind Harbor. View picture below,
You can pickup 2 quest from Bwemba. The quest for the Panther Cub chain starts at "To Fort Livingston" Go to STV and once there you just need to fly to Fort Livingston and speak to Livingston Marshal.
The quest chain goes as follows:
1) To Fort Livingston
2) Serpents And Poison
3) Nesingwary Will Know
4) Track The Tracker
5) The Hunter's Revenge
6) Follow That Cat
7) Mauti
8) How's The Hunter Holding Up?
9) Bury Me With Me Boots...
10) Some Good Will Come
After you bury Grent Direhammer, a quest pops up from the Panther Cub in the cave, this quest gives you the cub. Easy as that.
All of these are easy and a level 85 should have no problem completing them all in maybe an hour at most, I think the quest probably wouldn't take that long though. I was going to list how to do each quest but they are so easy that you really shouldn't need a walk through. However, if anyone is having issues with the quest I am going to link all the quest from Wowhead. Enjoy! :)
To Fort Livingston
Serpents And Poison
Nesingwary Will Know
Track The Tracker
The Hunter's Revenge
Follow That Cat

Best Spot To Farm Runecloth in Winterpspring
Now that I am doing the quest for the Winterspring Frostsaber I have spent a good 2 hours messing around Winterspring today. I decided to just randomly choose 4 spots to see how much runecloth I could get. So here is the detail of each spot.
I started off at Lake Kel'Theril, I didn't bother keeping track of cloth because out of 20 kills I only got 5 if that. Not much dropped and it was not worthwhile for me at all.
The second area I chose was, Owl Wing Thicket. I killed some moontouched owl and bersker owls. Again I killed 20 in total and got 6 runecloth, not much better then Lake Kel'Theril. At one point I killed 9 owls and nothing dropped for cloth. To me this was not a worth it area either. However these owls do drop Giant Eggs, so if you need those then farming these owls could be a good idea.
The third spot I chose was, Ice Thistle Hills. I killed a lot of yetis on the outside just wandering in the snow. After 20 kills there I got roughly 10 runecloths. I discovered a cave with Ice Thistle Partriach and Ice Thisle Matrirach (spelling might be off?) These guys had a decent drop rate in the cave and
they were slightly higher level. I didn't keep track of what I killed but I would estimate 35 kills, some were re kills on the way out, however I got 17 runecloth which is not bad. Plus in the cave I counted 7 small Thorium Veins. My mage can't mine but this could be a good spot for a miner!
The last spot I chose was Winterfall Village. I chose here for I could get 20 rep per kill, not to bad. I only got 7 runecloth out of 20 kills though. However though I did find a rare in the village that dropped an item worth 2 gold. I also got Winterfall Spirit Beads which can be passed into Salfa in Winterspring. Upon passing in 5 beads I beleive you get 3650 rep xp with Timbermaw Hold.
Each spot has its own advantage when it comes to farming for runecloth. You got your Giant Eggs in the Owl Wing Thicket, and Winterfall Spirit Beads from Winterfall Village. These 2 spots are great for those reasons but I feel the gave in ice Thisle Hills is the best spot in Winterspring to farm runecloth. Plus if your a skinner you can skin those yetis!

I am Back!
It has been such a long time since I have posted to this blog, I am not willing to scrap it though. I am sorry for not being around, I was not playing WoW for a long time. I have a newer comp, but graphics are not where they need to be. I guess that is life though.
I have been between jobs and such, so due to that I also was not playing WoW as much. I think the first thing that bought me back was the fact I chose today to log in and I saw an adorable Winterspring cub! I wanted one but found out you have to do the quest to get it. So on my mage who is level 85 now, I took her to Winterspring to start the quest. Along the way I saw a rare, Stan-Rotam. I was clueless and killed him not realizing he didn't drop anything of value.
Here is what he looks like, seeing as I was level 85 I could one shot him down. I hopefully will be writing down a ton of information about the quest to get the Winterspring mount. I guess we shall see what happens! Anyways Just wanted to not I am back, and will have some new content shortly! :)
