Blackwing Lair - Insane cloth/gold farm.

[Traxex84]

Hi all, found this out on my hunter accidentally and figured I would share!

Basically in Blackwing Lair just after the suppression room boss (Broodlord Lashlayer) you can farm the trash an unlimited amount of times without ever leaving the instance.

Requires:
A class that can drop combat (Feign death, Invisibility, Salyin Battle Banner item or whatever else you can drop combat with.)
The ability to do AOE magic damage (This isn't required, just makes it 50x easier)

How to do it:
Pull as much of the packs in the room as you can (can pull both floors if you want). LoS until everything is stacked up and AOE with magic damage (Hunters can use explosive trap). You want to kill everything but the Spellbinders, spellbinders are immune to magic damage which is why they won't die. Once everything is dead you can drop combat, the spellbinders will run back to where you got them and all the trash that you killed will respawn instantly.
Again, it is very important. DO NOT kill the spell binders or this won't work.

After 20 minutes of doing this (Roughly 10 pulls of the entire section) I got 1400 Runecloth, around 25g+ Just from looting the silver, 1 boe epic weapon, a bunch of green transmog gear which sells for 50g-300g+ each and 1 extremely rare black smithing recipe that sells for over 5k (Plans: Titanic Leggings)

This is after 2 pulls, as you can see there is A LOT of dead mobs and everything is still alive in the background.



And these are the 2 rooms that you are pulling the trash from



Note: If you aren't very geared sneak ahead and kill Firemaw the dragon boss before you pull this, so you don't pull him while you are gathering trash.

Enjoy!

Looks ok, to bad i dont have feign and banner cd is 10 min or so :/ +r

did you solo first boss ? how did you get here?

Yes, solo'd all the way there on a shitty geared hunter. There are multiple guides on youtube for the first boss if you are stuck.

It's quite possible to solo the first boss - all you need to do is to destroy the eggs before the trash kills him. No tricks, no class requirements, no nothing. Just be discreet.

People have been doing this since 2006, very well known.

First I have heard of it, could not find any posts about it either searching for 'bwl' and 'blackwing lair'. I find it unlikely guilds would waste time wiping just so they could farm trash for greens or ingots back in 2006.

Actually it is old, I used it back when BWL just came out for farm elementium ore to get server first thunderfury.

I like to farm this trash for epics. If I had my account I would do this

Yeah, I have seen this before multiple times, but thanks for contributing to the community

The best way I've seen is to do it with a mage, because you can just pull every single mob on that room and the one upstairs and AoE, and you don't have to worry about the spellcasters since they are not affected by spells, so kill everything you can and then just use invisibility (1.5 minute cd with Greater Invisibility). The spellcasters will run back to their position and all the adds will respawn instantly
ps2: you can't farm more than 3 elementium ingot and I think this is bound to the account, at least that's what I read on wowhead

Why would there be an ingot cap? I have been doing this all day and I am now up to 24 ingots.

Repost of mine from way back when, also a guide, this is intended.

From wowhead:

Alright, there is a lot of misinformation and/or outdated information that is still highly rated in this thread so please allow me to clarify:

First and foremost, it is impossible to farm an infinite amount of elementium ore from a single Raid ID. While nobody knows exactly how it works, it seems that there is a set amount of ore that drops per Raid ID. It can drop from respawned technicians.

It is unclear to me exactly how much ore can drop per Raid ID. I was personally able to get 6 by only farming the first group past Broodlord before it stopped dropping for me (Killed that first group about 15 more times and then the rest without a drop). By farming I mean, I was killing all the technicians, leaving the other mobs alive, zoning out, and then zoning back in and looting the corpses. All the mobs in the group will respawn if you leave at least one mob alive and zone out. Perhaps 6 is the cap' or perhaps the amount of ore that can drop per Raid ID is random. That would require more testing to say for sure.

In any case, the safest way to maximize your elementium ore is to farm the first group after Broodlord until you believe that you have reached your 'cap' for that particular Raid ID. If you clear the group 10 times without a drop, it's probably safe to assume you reached the cap. The reason you would do this instead of just killing all the groups right away is that, it may be possible to kill all the groups without reaching your 'cap' for that Raid ID.

Remember using wallhack on this one and not having an ingot cap because you got no raid id. But they changed it.
