Route: The “Route-First” Method That Makes Outland Consistent

If you want reliable gold, stop thinking “spot” and start thinking “loop.” Spots die when competition arrives. Loops keep paying because you always have a next node, next pack, next camp, and next zone edge.

Use this route-first method every time you farm:

• Pick a primary zone loop (the one you like and can run smoothly).
• Pick a backup zone loop (for peak hours).
• Pick one “high value detour” (a short side path for a rare material like Mana Thistle, Khorium, or specialty scales).
• Farm in cycles, not minutes: one full loop, then decide whether you stay (good spawns) or swap (crowded).
• Always layer value: if you gather herbs, your loop should also pass ore ridges and humanoid camps; if you mine, your loop should also pass beast packs for easy skins; if you farm cloth, pick camps that also drop valuable turn-ins or vendor trash.

Your goal isn’t to “win the zone.” Your goal is to never be stuck waiting.

Route: Route Setup Checklist (So Your Hour Isn’t Half Travel and Bag Sorting)

Outland routes become dramatically better when you prepare like a raider: quick setup, clean execution, fast reset.

Use this checklist before you start:

• Empty bags: keep one full bag (or at least 20+ slots) free so you don’t stop mid-loop.
• Mailbox plan: if you’re near a town, mail crafting materials to a bank alt between loops.
• Repair before you farm: dying once can destroy your gold per hour (and your mood).
• Gather tracking: track herbs/ore on minimap, and keep it on at all times.
• Route helper addons (optional but huge): GatherMate-style node tracking + a routes overlay so you fly the same efficient loop every time.
• Stack rules: decide in advance what you vendor, what you AH, and what you keep for your own consumes/crafts.

A good route feels boring—in a good way. Boring means consistent.

Route: Herbalism Routes in Outland (Best Zones, Best Loops, Best Backups)

Herbalism pays in TBC because raiders constantly need potions, elixirs, and flasks. The trick is that not all herbs are equal, and not all zones produce the same “mix” of valuable nodes.

Core Outland herbs you should build routes around

• Felweed: common, reliable, sells because it’s a foundational herb for many crafts.
• Dreaming Glory: common but valuable because it’s used constantly and spawns all over Outland—especially along cliffs and ridge edges.
• Ragveil: strongly tied to Zangarmarsh routes; great demand for potion crafting.
• Terocone: strongly tied to Terokkar Forest routes; a key “zone-specific” target.
• Netherbloom: strongly tied to Netherstorm routes; high-value for many endgame crafts.
• Nightmare Vine: tied to late-game zones like Shadowmoon Valley and Blade’s Edge; usually higher value because fewer players farm it efficiently.
• Mana Thistle: the premium herb that spawns in flying-only places and is heavily tied to flask crafting; it’s less about “loop density” and more about “detours to known spawn pockets.”
• Ancient Lichen: mostly dungeon-based; treat it as an instance herb rather than an open-world route herb.

Zangarmarsh Herb Loop (Ragveil + reliable volume)

This is the classic “steady income” herb zone because it has water edges, swamp paths, and lots of node opportunities.

How to run it:

• Fly a wide perimeter loop around the outer marsh edges.
• Do waterline sweeps on the lakes and channels for Ragveil-style spawns.
• Use “hub cuts” through central marsh pockets when the perimeter is crowded.
• Add a short detour near dense spore/marsh creature areas if you also want light skinning or vendor drops.

Best when:

• You want consistent stacks quickly.
• You want a zone that works even without epic flying.
• You’re pairing with Fishing/Cooking or other “steady” income habits.

Backup plan:

• If the marsh is crowded, switch to Terokkar for Terocone, or run a short Nagrand ridge loop for Dreaming Glory.

Terokkar Forest Herb Loop (Terocone + fast turn-ins + optional Mana Thistle detours)

Terokkar is a route zone: forests, ridges, and Skettis-style elevation pockets.

How to run it:

• Fly a clockwise or counterclockwise ring around the zone, staying near ridge lines (Dreaming Glory likes cliff sides).
• Make sure your loop passes Skettis elevation areas and lake edges—this is where your “Terocone efficiency” improves.
• Add a short mountain ledge detour if you’re also scouting Mana Thistle pockets.

Best when:

• You specifically want Terocone.
• You want a zone that also pairs well with cloth camps (Terokkar has plenty of humanoids).

Backup plan:

• If Terokkar is overfarmed, switch to Zangarmarsh for volume or Netherstorm for premium nodes.

Nagrand Herb Loop (simple, fast, low-stress)

Nagrand doesn’t have as many “unique herb anchors” as Zangarmarsh or Terokkar, but it’s one of the easiest zones to run smoothly.

How to run it:

• Fly the outer rim of Nagrand and cut through the inner hills.
• Focus on cliffs and hill edges for Dreaming Glory spawns.
• Combine with Mining caves and Skinning herds (Nagrand is one of the best “multi-income” zones in Outland).

Best when:

• You want a route that can also produce ore and leather in the same hour.
• You like low-visual-noise farming (easy terrain, easy navigation).

Backup plan:

• If Nagrand is crowded, go Netherstorm for Netherbloom or Blade’s Edge for higher-tier herbs.

Netherstorm Herb Loop (Netherbloom + high-value detours)

Netherstorm is a premium gathering zone because it supports both high-value herbs and valuable ore in the same flight ring.

How to run it:

• Fly a perimeter loop around the zone’s outer edges and eco-domes.
• Add in-and-out cuts near manaforges and floating island edges.
• Treat Mana Thistle as a detour target: you swing out to known floating pockets, then return to your main Netherbloom loop.

Best when:

• You want a higher-value herb mix (Netherbloom + chances at Mana Thistle).
• You’re pairing Herbalism with Mining for a “double gather” profit engine.

Backup plan:

• If Netherstorm is crowded, run Blade’s Edge ridge routes (often less contested) or Shadowmoon’s edges for Nightmare Vine.

Blade’s Edge Mountains Herb Loop (ridges + premium spawns)

Blade’s Edge can feel annoying until you learn the ridges. Once you do, it becomes one of the best “premium herb + premium leather” zones.

How to run it:

• Fly ridge lines and cliff shelves—don’t stay low in valleys unless you’re heading to a specific camp.
• Add a detour near nether drake/serpent areas if you’re also farming scales (Skinning value stacks with herb value).
• Use a “two-shelf loop”: one loop for the lower ridge ring, one for high shelf pockets.

Best when:

• You want Nightmare Vine-style value and a chance at Mana Thistle pockets.
• You also want Skinning specialty scales in the same session.

Backup plan:

• If Blade’s Edge is too vertical for your taste, Netherstorm gives a smoother flight loop with similar “premium node” goals.

Shadowmoon Valley Herb Loop (Nightmare Vine + strong detours)

Shadowmoon is one of the best zones to farm when you want late-tier materials and you’re okay with hostile terrain.

How to run it:

• Fly zone edges and ridge lines rather than the deepest hostile camps.
• Add a detour toward flying-only ledges when you’re specifically hunting Mana Thistle pockets.
• If you’re also farming cloth (Legion Hold-style camps), treat herbs as “bonus pickups” during your cloth rotation.

Best when:

• You want Nightmare Vine-style value.
• You want to combine with high-density cloth farming camps.

Backup plan:

• If Shadowmoon is packed (or dangerous for your gear level), switch to Netherstorm for a safer premium loop.

Route: Mining Routes in Outland (Fel Iron, Adamantite, Khorium Without Wasting Time)

Mining in Outland is all about terrain reading. Ore spawns love edges, ridges, and caves. If you mine only “open flat ground,” you’ll feel unlucky. If you mine the right structure, nodes feel constant.

The three ore goals

• Fel Iron: early Outland staple, still sells because it feeds multiple professions.
• Adamantite (including Rich Adamantite): the mid-to-high-value ore that stays in demand because it fuels bars, crafts, and prospecting.
• Khorium: the rare jackpot node; you don’t “farm only Khorium,” you run Adamantite routes that include Khorium spawn points.

Hellfire Peninsula Mining Loop (Fel Iron starter loop)

Hellfire is great for a first mining route because it’s easy to navigate and heavily edge-based.

How to run it:

• Fly the zone perimeter, especially around ridge edges and elevated terrain.
• Cut through the Hellfire Citadel exterior edges if you’re comfortable with mobs.
• Keep moving—Fel Iron feels best when you treat it as constant pickups, not “camp one spawn.”

Best when:

• You’re newly 70, building starter gold, or leveling mining.
• You want a simple loop you can do in short sessions.

Backup plan:

• Zangarmarsh offers a smoother transition into Adamantite mixed spawns.

Zangarmarsh Mining Loop (Fel Iron + Adamantite + occasional Khorium)

Zangarmarsh mining is about ring loops and “mushroom ridge” edges.

How to run it:

• Fly a wide ring around the outer marsh.
• Make short cuts around known rocky pockets and elevated ridges.
• Pair with Herbalism if you can—Zangarmarsh is one of the best “double gather” zones for steady income.

Best when:

• You want a balanced route that doesn’t rely on rare spawns.
• You want consistency at medium value.

Backup plan:

• Terokkar and Nagrand provide better cave density when you want more Adamantite.

Terokkar Forest Mining Loop (edges + pockets)

Terokkar has good mining because it mixes ridges, hills, and cave-like pockets.

How to run it:

• Fly the outer ring first to hit the predictable ridge nodes.
• Add inland cuts through rocky pockets and hill edges.
• If you’re also farming cloth, design your route so you pass a humanoid camp every loop (so you’re earning even if nodes are taken).

Best when:

• You want a flexible loop that supports both mining and cloth farming.

Backup plan:

• Nagrand caves are the “upgrade” option when you want high Adamantite density.

Nagrand Mining Loop (caves = profit)

Nagrand is one of the best zones for Adamantite specifically because cave density makes node cycling strong. The biggest mistake is skipping caves because they feel like “time loss.” In Nagrand, caves are often the point.

How to run it:

• Fly a large outer circle to catch ridge nodes.
• Then run a cave circuit: dip into caves as you pass them, mine, and exit quickly.
• If a cave is crowded, don’t fight—move to the next cave and keep your route alive.

Best when:

• You want Adamantite volume.
• You’re pairing Mining with Skinning (clefthoof/talbuk herds are nearby) or Herbalism (Dreaming Glory spawns along ridges).

Backup plan:

• Netherstorm offers high-value mixed routes if caves are overfarmed.

Blade’s Edge Mining Loop (ridges + high-tier mix)

Blade’s Edge is a strong mining zone because ridges and high ledges create many node points, including chances at higher-tier spawns.

How to run it:

• Follow ridge lines and cliff shelves.
• Don’t spend too long fighting mobs—choose safe ridge paths and keep flying.
• Pair with specialty Skinning farms (drakes/serpents) if you want to stack value.

Best when:

• You want a “premium gather” hour and you can handle vertical terrain.

Backup plan:

• Netherstorm is the smoother premium alternative.

Netherstorm Mining Loop (premium gather zone)

Netherstorm is one of the best zones to run if you want both high-value ore and high-value herbs (if you’re dual gathering).

How to run it:

• Fly a perimeter ring around eco-domes and zone edges.
• Add small cuts toward manaforges and rocky islands.
• Treat Khorium as bonus: learn the common spawn structures, tag them when you see them, and keep moving.

Best when:

• You’re serious about gold efficiency.
• You have epic flying or at least solid route discipline.

Backup plan:

• Shadowmoon offers similar value but is often more hostile and less “smooth loop” friendly.

Shadowmoon Valley Mining Loop (late-zone value)

Shadowmoon can be strong for Adamantite and Khorium-style spawns depending on your exact route and server population.

How to run it:

• Fly zone edges and ridge structures first.
• Avoid getting trapped deep in hostile camps unless you’re also farming cloth there.
• Keep the loop wide and calm—Shadowmoon punishes slow farming.

Best when:

• You’re combining mining with a cloth route (Legion Hold-type camps) or with specialized skinning.

Backup plan:

• Netherstorm is usually faster and safer for a similar profit profile.

Route: Skinning Routes in Outland (Knothide, Specialty Scales, and “Always Sells” Leather)

Skinning is one of the most reliable gold engines because it’s less dependent on node luck and more dependent on mob density. Your job is to find beast clusters you can kill smoothly and reset quickly.

Your skinning targets

• Knothide Leather / Heavy Knothide Leather: the baseline Outland leather used constantly.
• Thick Clefthoof Leather: a premium leather tied to crafted gear and leg armor kits; one of the most consistent “worth your time” farms.
• Cobra Scales: specialty material that sells because it’s used in specific leatherworking patterns.
• Wind Scales: specialty scale farm with strong demand in many crafting paths.
• Fel Scales: specialty scale farm that is often less contested and can be a great backup income stream.
• Nether Dragonscales: premium specialty material farmed from nether drakes.

Thick Clefthoof Leather Route (Nagrand: the classic farm)

If you want a skinning route that’s simple, repeatable, and often profitable, this is it.

How to run it:

• Farm clefthoof herds in Nagrand in a circular loop around major herd paths.
• Keep moving—don’t camp one tiny pocket unless spawns are instant.
• Kill quickly, skin immediately, and rotate.

Why it works:

• Clefthoof density supports continuous kills.
• Thick Clefthoof Leather stays relevant for crafting demand.
• You can combine it with ore caves and herb ridges in the same zone for “triple income.”

Backup plan:

• If Nagrand is crowded, switch to Fel Scales in Zangarmarsh or specialty scale farms in Blade’s Edge.

Cobra Scales Route (Nagrand: serpents with a plan)

Cobra Scales are a specialty farm. That means you don’t do it as your only income forever—you do it when the market is hot or when you want a higher-value hour.

How to run it:

• Focus serpent packs known for cobra scale drops (many players target Twilight serpent-style mobs).
• Watch for patrols and avoid elite paths—your gold per hour collapses if you die repeatedly.
• Skin fast and keep your kill chain moving.

When to choose this route:

• Your server’s cobra scale price is strong this week.
• You want to craft or sell specialty leatherworking materials.

Backup plan:

• Wind Scales farms are often easier to sustain if serpent camps are crowded.

Wind Scales Route (Shadowmoon or Blade’s Edge)

Wind Scales are often farmed from specific dragonhawk/serpent-type mobs depending on zone. This route is great when you want specialty value and you don’t want to fight over the most popular primal or ore spots.

How to run it:

• Choose one camp with strong density (Shadowmoon options often feel “tighter,” Blade’s Edge options often feel “spread but calmer”).
• Kill in a loop so your first kills respawn as you finish the circle.
• If the camp is contested, don’t argue—swap zones and keep earning.

Why it’s a good “backup farm”:

• Specialty scales often sell well when crafting demand spikes.
• Competition is sometimes lower than primals or Mana Thistle.

Fel Scales Route (Zangarmarsh + Terokkar backups)

Fel Scales are a smart route for players who want steady skinning value without fighting over top meta farms.

How to run it:

• Target beast clusters like threshalisk/basilisk-style mobs in Zangarmarsh marsh pockets.
• Keep the loop tight and avoid long travel.
• Skin continuously—Fel Scales farms are all about staying in motion.

Backup plan:

• If your Zangarmarsh pocket is contested, Terokkar beast clusters can be a good alternative depending on your route familiarity.

Nether Dragonscales Route (Blade’s Edge: drake pockets)

Nether Dragonscales are a premium specialty farm that pairs well with Blade’s Edge mining and herb loops.

How to run it:

• Target dense drake pockets in Blade’s Edge (many farmers prefer areas with lower-level drakes for faster kill speed).
• Use a circular route: drakes → serpents → back to drakes.
• Pair with Mining/Herbalism pickups along ridge paths so every minute pays.

Why it’s powerful:

• Specialty scales tend to keep value because they’re limited by kill time and fewer players commit to the route.

Route: Cloth Routes in Outland (Netherweave Spots That Don’t Feel Like a Lottery)

Cloth farming is route farming. You want humanoid camps with:

• high density,
• fast respawns,
• good vendor loot,
• and (ideally) bonus drops that sell or help reputations.

Netherweave is the main Outland cloth target

Netherweave sells because:

• Tailoring uses it constantly (bags, leveling, crafted items).
• Players always need more for alts and profession leveling.
• Even if prices dip, it still moves because demand is always there.

Legion Hold Netherweave Route (Shadowmoon Valley: high density)

This is one of the most popular netherweave farms for a reason: it’s dense, fast, and consistent.

How to run it:

• Make a loop through the camp, pulling small packs so you never stop moving.
• Prioritize caster mobs that die quickly if your class can interrupt or line-of-sight them easily.
• Watch for patrol elites and avoid them—your goal is uninterrupted kill chains.

Why it works:

• Density supports constant cloth drops.
• You also get vendor trash and occasional extra value drops depending on mob type.

Backup plan:

• Netherstorm Sunfury camps are another top-tier option, often with extra valuable drops.

Netherstorm Sunfury Netherweave Route (high bonus drop potential)

Netherstorm’s humanoid camps are famous for netherweave—and for extra items that many players want for reputations or turn-ins.

How to run it:

• Pick one Sunfury-style camp cluster and loop it.
• Pull around corners to reduce caster annoyance if needed.
• Reset the camp by circling outward and returning as spawns repopulate.

Why it’s great:

• Strong netherweave output.
• Often includes bonus drop value beyond cloth.
• Pairs naturally with Netherstorm herb/ore loops if you want a hybrid hour (gather between respawns).

Backup plan:

• If Netherstorm is packed, Blade’s Edge ogre camps or Nagrand ogres can provide cloth with less competition.

Nagrand Ogres Netherweave Route (simple, stable, easy pulls)

Ogre camps in Nagrand are a classic cloth farm because:

• pulls are straightforward,
• density is decent,
• and you can combine it with skinning and mining routes nearby.

How to run it:

• Clear a camp in a circle, then shift to the next camp while the first respawns.
• Vendor trash often becomes a meaningful part of your gold here—don’t ignore it.

Backup plan:

• Terokkar humanoid clusters are a flexible alternative if Nagrand is crowded.

Skettis / Terokkar Humanoid Route (cloth + reputation rhythm)

Terokkar offers humanoid routes that can be layered with daily-style objectives or reputation grind goals depending on what you’re doing that week.

How to run it:

• Choose one dense humanoid area and run a tight loop.
• If you’re also doing daily quests nearby, stack them so your travel time pays twice.

Why it’s useful:

• Great for players who want cloth and progress toward other goals in the same time block.

Dungeon cloth option (group-friendly, no open-world competition)

If your open-world farms are crowded, instances can be a clean alternative:

• You avoid competition.
• Drops are consistent.
• You can vendor/disenchant steadily.

This is especially good if you farm with a duo partner or you’re geared enough to clear quickly.

Loot: What to Farm First (High-Demand Materials by Category)

A route becomes profitable when you focus on materials that consistently move. Here’s the “priority menu” progression players use.

Herbs that usually sell fast

• High-demand flask herbs (premium herbs like Mana Thistle and Netherbloom are often top priority when your server economy is raid-focused).
• Zone-specific herbs that bottleneck crafts (Terocone, Ragveil).
• High-volume basics that always move (Felweed, Dreaming Glory).

Ores that usually sell fast

• Adamantite (and anything prospecting-related).
• Fel Iron (steady demand across professions).
• Khorium (rare, high value—treat as bonus).

Leathers that usually sell fast

• Thick Clefthoof Leather (crafting bottleneck material).
• Specialty scales (Wind Scales, Cobra Scales, Fel Scales, Nether Dragonscales) when crafting demand is high.
• Knothide and Heavy Knothide as steady baseline sales.

Cloth that usually sells fast

• Netherweave in stacks (bags + tailoring + leveling demand).
• Bonus drops from humanoid camps (these vary by camp type but can add a surprising amount of value).

Loot: How to Sell Farming Materials Like a Raider (Fast Sales, Less Reposting)

Most players lose profit on the Auction House because they sell like a random farmer. Raiders buy in patterns. Sell to those patterns.

Use these rules:

• List multiple stack sizes: some full stacks for crafters, some smaller stacks for “top-up buyers.”
• List before raid nights: demand rises when guilds craft consumes and prep enchants.
• Don’t over-list your entire inventory: keep a reserve so you can relist if prices spike rather than locking yourself into a crash.
• Separate premium items: don’t bury Mana Thistle or Khorium inside random bulk listings.
• Vendor discipline: gray items and low-value trash should be vendored immediately so your farming time turns into liquid gold fast.

Extraction: Build a 30–60 Minute Outland Farming Routine (That You’ll Actually Keep Doing)

Routes only work if you repeat them. Here are two routine templates that fit real schedules.

30-minute routine (steady progress)

• Pick one zone loop you can complete in 25–30 minutes (Zangarmarsh herb ring, Nagrand clefthoof ring, or a compact cloth camp loop).
• Run one full loop without distractions.
• Mail materials to your bank alt and list immediately.

This routine is designed to keep you raid-funded even on busy weeks.

60-minute routine (steady + premium detour)

• 40 minutes: primary loop (Netherstorm gather ring or Nagrand triple-income providing ore/herb/skins).
• 20 minutes: premium detour (Mana Thistle pockets, Khorium ridge checks, specialty scale camp).

The premium detour is where you get “spikes” without gambling your whole hour.

Extraction: Best Dual-Profession Route Combos (Because One Route Should Pay Twice)

If you can choose gathering professions, dual gathering is the fastest route to consistent gold.

• Herbalism + Mining: best “pure gather” combo; Netherstorm and Nagrand become extremely profitable because your loop hits both node types.
• Skinning + Mining: best “kill + node” combo; Nagrand becomes your home base (beasts + caves).
• Skinning + Herbalism: best “smooth motion” combo; you kill beasts along herb ridges without detouring into caves.

If you don’t have double gathering, use a hybrid plan:

• Farm cloth (humanoids) when the world is crowded.
• Farm nodes (herb/ore) during quieter hours.
• Use skinning as your “always works” backup because beasts are everywhere.

Extraction: Zone Picks by Playstyle (So You Don’t Quit After Two Boring Hours)

Choose routes that match your personality. Consistency beats “best on paper.”

• If you like calm loops: Nagrand perimeter + caves, Zangarmarsh perimeter.
• If you like premium chasing: Netherstorm gather ring + Mana Thistle detours.
• If you like killing mobs: Legion Hold cloth loop, Sunfury cloth loop, clefthoof skinning ring.
• If you like specialty markets: Blade’s Edge nether drake scales + ridge mining/herbs, Shadowmoon wind scales + cloth.

Practical Rules: Route Discipline That Makes Outland Pay Every Time

• Run loops, not spots.
• If a zone is crowded, swap immediately—don’t “compete emotionally.”
• Design routes with backups: you should always know where you’re going next.
• Always layer value: ore + herbs, beasts + caves, cloth + node checks between respawns.
• Keep bags clear and mail often—time spent sorting is time not earning.
• Treat premium materials as detours, not your entire plan.
• Don’t chase rare spawns endlessly; take them when they appear and keep moving.
• Sell in stack sizes raiders actually buy, and list at high-demand times.
• Build a 30-minute routine first; then upgrade to a 60-minute routine when it feels easy.
• The best route is the one you can repeat without burning out.

BoostRoom: Turn Outland Farming Into Real Progression (Not Random Grinding)

If you’re farming “whenever” and still struggling to afford enchants, gems, and raid consumes, you don’t need more hours—you need a system. BoostRoom helps you turn Outland routes into a repeatable progression engine:

• A route plan that fits your schedule (30–60 minutes, not endless grinding).
• Smart zone selection based on your professions and server competition.
• Auction House selling habits that convert materials into gold quickly.
• Progression budgeting so your gold becomes flying, enchants, and raid readiness—without stress.

When you farm with a plan, you stop feeling broke and start feeling in control of your character’s progress.

FAQ

What’s the best Outland zone to farm if I only have 30 minutes?

Zangarmarsh for steady herbs, Nagrand for skinning loops (clefthoof) and mixed gathering, or a dense cloth camp like Shadowmoon’s Legion Hold if you want consistent netherweave.

Where should I farm Ragveil?

Zangarmarsh is the most reliable zone for Ragveil-focused routes, especially along waterlines and marsh edges.

Where should I farm Terocone?

Terokkar Forest is the primary zone for Terocone, and it pairs well with a circular zone loop plus ridge cuts.

Where should I farm Netherbloom?

Netherstorm is the best zone for Netherbloom, and it also pairs well with Mining for a double gather route.

Is Mana Thistle worth farming without epic flying?

Mana Thistle is mostly found in flying-only areas, so it becomes much more practical once you can fly reliably and run detours quickly. If you don’t have that mobility, focus on Netherbloom, Terocone, Ragveil, and steady ore/leather instead.

What’s the most reliable skinning farm for gold?

Thick Clefthoof Leather farming in Nagrand is one of the most repeatable skinning routes because clefthoof herds support constant kills and steady premium leather output.

What’s the best netherweave cloth farm in Outland?

Dense humanoid camps in Shadowmoon Valley and Netherstorm are popular because they offer strong kill density and consistent cloth drops.

How do I farm when every popular spot is crowded?

Swap zones fast. Run your backup route, farm instances for cloth/materials, or switch to specialty scales/leather routes that fewer players farm.

Should I sell materials immediately or hold them?

If you’re funding progression, prioritize liquid gold. Selling before raid nights often improves demand, but don’t hoard so long that your gold goal stalls.
