Another spot to farm a WoW vanity pet is the Hakkari Grounds in Zul’Gurub. I’m talking here about the Razzashi Hatchling. This vanity pet is harder to farm then the other hatchlings, but due to that, it can be sold for a lot more gold. When I get one I usually sell it for 1500-2000g.

Here is the Strategy:

Invite another level 60+ player and make a raid group with them (they can log out afterwards, as long as they remain in your raid group) to be able to enter Zul’Gurub.

Go to Zul’Gurub, in northeastern Stranglethorn Vale. Enter the instance and follow the path East. At Zanza’s Rise, follow the path South, up to Hakkari Grounds, where Bloodlord Mandokir is (see map).

Now, there are 3 packs of Razzashi Raptors (6 each pack), kill them all and loot their corpses. They drop the Razzashi Hatchling vanity pet. After you kill them all run out of the instance, reset it and repeat. Before Mandokir’s compound there are a few more Razzashi Raptors, but they are mixed with trolls which makes them harder to kill. I usually don’t waste time with those.

The Razzashi Hatchling doesn’t have quite a high drop rate, sometimes I don’t get one within 5 resets, but other times it drops at the first pull.

This is a good farming spot to use in adition to the methods you can learn from the Best WoW Gold Guides.

The Doomwalker is not inside the raid instance, it guards the entrance of Black Temple. It spawns at (73,44), in Shadowmoon Valley. Due to the nice loot, this mob is farmed by many, so you might not find it up, most of the times.

Since it’s a raid boss, it hits very hard, has a lot of HP. It cannot be soloed with all the classes in the game. If you want to kill it solo, to keep all the loot for yourself, bring a class with end game tanking gear. A blood-tank-DK or a feral-tank-druid should do. If you fail to kill it and die you will receive a debuff called Mark Of Death. It lasts for 15 min. and as long as you have it, the Doomwalker’s aura will 1-shot you and you won’t be able to make a new good attempt to kill him. Also, at 30% he enters berserk mode and this is the time you want to pop up your cooldowns.

Here is a video related to this:

The Doomwalker always drops 500g and 2 level 70 BoE items which can be sold for 200-250 at AH.

I usually kill this boss with a duo DK-tank, druid-healer to be sure of an 100% kill.
