The last segment we'll look at from the upcoming WoW Cataclysm expansion are the two new Worgen and Goblin races and preview of the new zones. The idea behind Worgen (originally were human) apparently is to add an aggressive element to the Alliance faction. The Goblin is a little more complicated since they were generally a neutral race manning zeps and neutral towns previously but the new race will not be associated with them.

Here is a video from Blizzcon which highlights the various racial abilities from both of these races:





This next 2 videos will highlight the starting zones of both Worgen and Goblin respectively in a trailer format:







Last but not least, here is a map of all the new zones from Cataclysm which are mainly extension of the present Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdom:

This is my Wintergrasp mining and gas cloud route. It's still good even without engineering, but engineering makes it even more amazing. Wintergrasp is such a fantastic zone because there are so few people that go there due to being wary of PVP. When used at night, I can easily get a stack of Titanium or more, mixed with the Saronite and Eternal Fire which adds up to a lot of gold per hour. (On my server it can be anywhere between 500g and 800g/hour)

I usually start off at the Fortress if my faction controls Wintergrasp and if we don't, then I fly in on my mount to the fire Revenant area. I find it best to follow the path counter clockwise, because some of the nodes are on hills and looping back is a waste of time.


The map is self explanatory except there are a few spots that can be a little tricky. If you look closely at the northwest corner there's a line that goes around, only go that way if there's a node that seems out of reach on your minimap then you jump down onto it. Once you get to the big river/lake in the middle, you can run on either side (or right down the middle with waterwalking).

Once you get to the southeast corner, this is where engineering comes in handy. I marked 4 red dots on the map where clouds usually spawn. NOTE: If your faction controls wintergrasp, I would suggest killing the Flame Revenants as it will give you a decent amount of Crystallized Fire. After the fire area after going north you'll come to a cliff, just jump off the waterfall so you don't die.

There are some notes at the south which I didn't highlight because by the time you get back to where you started on the map, it's respawned already anyway. So going to the south area for me is wasting precious farming time.

I've found another great spot for Frostweave Cloth farming. The thing about this spot is that it's an "event" for a quest, so just keep this event going in order for the mobs to just keep respawning. Location can be seen below (click to enlarge map) :



The mobs here have a great drop rate of Frostweave Cloth, money and random greens.

Here's a video to show where to stand and prove just how insanely fast their respawn rate is:



Obviously this place would benefit more for AOE classes or DoT classes.

A map showing where the Fel Mist spawn spots in Shadow Moon Valley. You would need to be an Engineer and have the mote extractor to do this. You can easily get all the primal shadow you need for SR or just sell them for a nice profit since they are quite in demand.

Everyone knows mining is a huge money maker especially when coupled with Jewelcrafting prospecting ability. The following map indicates the best route to obtain Fel Iron in Hellfire Peninsula. This is best done with a flying mount if possible to save time.

Since the released of Burning Crusade, one of the fastest gold generator profession is mining. This is thanks to the new Jewelcrafting profession. So the following maps are of efficient circuits for different type of ores:

The Outlands is indeed a huge area to fathom with vast areas to venture as you toil your character to the new Level 70 cap. I received several emails in regards to maps and some questions on those I posted earlier these past 2 weeks. So I've decided to compile them in a Word format so that all of you can download and refer to them as and when the need arises without going on a searching spree online.

I know many of my close network of bloggers told me this is really not a wise thing to do as I will be losing my readership but as I shared with them... "I am first and foremost a World of Warcraft player... this blog is just to share that passion with others". So without further ado, just click on the Word Icon to start the download and do a "save as" and rename the file to your computer if need be or you may click on the link below as well:

Enjoy and Happy Hunting!

So you've ventured into the Outlands and found yourself faced with new challenges and quests. If you are as lost as I was, then these two maps of questing locations of Hellfire Peninsula would be god sent:
