Personally I don't find it's worth the time to try and sell them but that's just my play style I suppose.

Try selling Bone Chips in Gfay / Butcherblock. There's a quest in Kaladim that takes Bone Chips for faction and good xp into the teens. People will buy them up by the Backpack-full for xp-ing out any new characters they make. I usually sell my bone chips within a minute or two of my first /auc outside the Kelethin bank. Having a full backpack or more (with a slight discount for buying the whole lot) helps them sell faster.

Spider Silk is more likely to sell in EC where you have a better chance of finding a tradeskiller, although they can be harder to sell as Spider Silk can be pretty easy for a high-level to farm in large quantities in a short amount of time.

Something else that newbies often miss for cash is Leather Padding. Buy a skinning knife from a Blacksmith (around 5-15pp). As you hunt Bears/Cats/Wolves collect every pelt you can and don't vendor any except the ruined ones. Use the skinning knife in a tailoring kit with the pelt to reduce it to Low Quality (don't do this to High Quality Bear Pelts, as those are used to make Tailored Backpacks and are worth a good amount of coin), combine Spiderling Silk to make thread, then combine thread and the LQ pelt to make (stackable!) padding. You can sell these for pretty good cash, usually about 5-10pp each (100-200pp for a stack).

Look up EVERYTHING that drops from whatever you are hunting on the Wiki. A lot of items have more uses than you may expect, and there's always someone who will spend money so they don't have to spend time collecting.

Loramin, good post. I had no idea that that guide existed, thank you.

Yea with the increase in server population these are much more camped then previously, the camp is "yours" once you can be at and hold both spawns (wolves) or single spawn (grizzly) as they pop.

Starting at lv3 I usually just camp the lv3 wolf (other is lv5), its a rough fight if your new since its an even con plus the possible rabies. Kill and rest at its spawn point, most outdoor respawns are 6min 45sec so set a timer and be standing and ready to rock as soon as it pops. Each kill at lv3 is like 2% and the hide turn in is something like 12-15% of the level (based off 10% exp penalty from a caster). Which is much faster leveling for a new player vs. killing blues.

Most recently I did this route on a mage, starting at 4 (cause needed pet) I farmed up 30 rabid wolf hides controlling both spawns cause mage pets OP and almost hit lv5 off kills. Turn-ins got me to mid way through lv8 and then went to rabid grizzly, 42 spawns later I hit 12 after turn-ins. 220pp earned

usually I just kind of do a run by to see if they've pop when I'm traveling to sureglade and then later Blackburrow but yea its camped fairly often. I know its somewhat profitable but camping them doesn't seem like an overly exciting prospect.

oh yes its mind numbingly boring, after doing 42 cycles of the grizzly bear (almost 5 hours) I was dead inside. thankfully I did it while playing at work so the 6min idle time could be spent almost working.

I was trying to take out Rapid Grizzlies and Rapid Wolves yesterday in Qeynos and there was none to be found. I was out for about 4 hours and saw no Wolves and only about 5 Grizzlies.

I ran all over Qeynos and the zone felt like nothing was popping...

Tann 06-10-2015 07:14 PM

they all have static spawn points and roam to specific spots before returning to said spawn.

only 2 wolves and 1 grizzly, check the wiki as i believe they have coordinates listed

kledar 06-10-2015 07:15 PM

rabids usually spawn on the western side of the map in the hilly area not far in from the zone line from Qeynos, the bear spawn somewhat near the blackburrow entrance

There was one single person camping the rabid grizzly bear during most my entire stay in QHills. It was kind of tragic to see somebody punishing themselves like that.

Wisps and regular grizz are better exp and money and you don't have to worry about some bigger masochist trying to steal your spot if you let your guard down for a half a second.
