    Instanced? Mining. Easier more effective gathering.

    Long time luker, first time contributor. Hopefully this helps,

    I've ran across a way to mine Felslate and Leystone ore.

    Pre-Requisites:
    1. An under leveled alt. 105 is possible but I've found 106 to be best and a class with self healing. Prot Paladin or Blood DK work best but a DH would fit the bill as well.
    2. Heirlooms and Artifact Weapon.
    3. Unlocked flying for Legion... because its just more efficient.

    Now just go to the Broken Shore and start gathering. ... Seriously thats it. Why is this an exploit? It uses game mechanics to get around the challenge they are supposed to present.
    Being under 110 there are no World Quests unlocked. Leaving some areas vacant or very depleted of mobs. But the Felslate/Leystone nodes and seams still populate. Mobs in the area are scaled to your iLvL. Which for me was 755 when I checked it at lvl 107. I was easily able to take on these lvl 110s two or three at a time. I've been doing this for a few days now and I'm tempted to turn off exp to keep it going. Included is a pix for proof of what I gathered. This is an hour and half work and i had about 50 Leystone on be before I started.

    this is similar to twinking a level 101 and farming the mob next to the nesingwary camp

    101 can wear some pretty high level stuff but the mob you are farming are 101 because of your level - easy farming

    pretty sure thats been posted here in the forums somewhere

    .... kinda. definitely part of it.

    The real beauty is that most of the big bad mobs that guard the seems are completely MIA. you can literally walk right up to the seams, pick em up and be on your way. The exploit is using an intended game mechanic for unintended purpose and thusly Larger gains than would be otherwise experienced.

    **I am going to add a crevate: when I hit ilevel 800 i started seeing other players in the 110 range. up until then it was only me no matter what time of day i tried. I've got another alt sitting at 104. Gonna do this again and cut the exp off at 107 and see if I can milk it for a while longer.

    Final entry. I've ridden this ride to the end. At level 109 and after leaving the area and returning I find myself slopping through WQ mobs and elites like everyone else. See you guys in the grind!
