wow The Frog Meta: MoP Remix's Best Farm?

[Starym 3,800]

Update: the farm has been nerfed a little! Lesser Charms no longer drop, making it less lucrative.

It didn't take long for players to find the absolute best way to farm in Remix: Mists of Pandaria! And no, we're not talking about the Tillers' farm!

The Timeless Isle and its frogs are back and are the focus of all the farming going on at the moment, as it seems to be the best way to get pretty much everything you want from the event! The frogs are elites and tend to hyper spawn (meaning they have an incredibly fast spawn rate when enough players kill them quickly enough), especially when farmed in groups. You can find the frogs around 65, 75.

They drop the event currency, Bronze, items you can disenchant into Bronze, Lesser Charms which you can use to increase your reputation with most Pandaria factions and get more Bronze, Timeless Coins for Timeless Isle rewards, and even Epic Threads for the Cloak of Infinite Potential! One player even reported getting 15,000k Bronze, 100,000 Timeless Coins, 3,000 Lesser Charms, and many gems is just an hour!

As the method has become more popular, actually getting to tag the mobs is the real trick here, or you need to find a time when there are fewer players there.

The community is split on the issue, as some are enjoying the very fast speed of rewards, but others aren't too happy with the very boring activity being the go-to if you want to get things done fast.

Here's a video going over the method, and showcasing some intense frog action!

So if you want tot try this out, good luck with the mob tagging and/or finding a less populated area!

Sadly, I rolled the wrong class. Warrior - so I don't get into any groups for this, and it's not worth making your own when your shard is already overstuffed with people... 😞
 I wish 70 was better scaled, right now it's whacked. I'd love to be able to grind bronze efficiently without going frogger-mode.

Hearing about the 70 scaling worries me considering I planned to spam multiple characters for Garrosh kills.

I actually thought to myself "let's focus on upgrading my gear first". It's expensive as hell, but I found out it's the key to becoming actually strong to OP at level 70. I've been spending quite some bronze on upgrading my gear. I'm at 600k health now and kill most overworld enemies in 1-2 hits. If I look back to when I just got level 70 I had about 150k health and enemies took quite long to kill. The things is that at level 70 almost every ability from enemies in dungeons hit you for around 300k. That means that for the first few upgrades you'll get one-shot by most stuff. But now I easily survive those bosses and do high dps. It just sucks that it comes at the sacrifice of spending that bronze on cosmetics, and even worse if you already did spent your bronze on cosmetics because that means you'll be stuck in this position at level 70 even longer.

I found out something was up when I did my first Scholomance at level 70 at Rattlegore. Even with the bone shield buff active his bonespike would standard hit me for 220k while I had 180k max health. I knew I was missing out on something, because that didn't feel right.

TLDR; upgrade your gear at level 70 asap. It's expensive, but worth it if you rather become stronger and more OP now by investing the bronze.

Thank you for this strategy.  It will save a lot of frustration.

Yeah the scaling at 70 is fried.

Thanks for the tip ❤️

I bought the sha-mount the first thing I did when I had enough bronze. so now I am low.
I'm also not sure where I upgrade it for bronze? I could only upgrade to 346. highest I had looted, on the guy next to the scrapper..

No problem 🙂 I saw so many people having problems at level 70 that I'm simply not experiencing anymore that I figured this is why.

At level 70 the drops scale all the way to level 346, even from raids (though I haven't done an heroic raid yet). You must upgrade to get it higher than 346. How it works is that you can upgrade all your gear, but you can only go the next level once you upgraded it all. For example: You upgrade your weapon to 358. If you want to upgrade it to 370 you first have to upgrade all your other gear to 358 as well. You cannot upgrade one piece of equipment to the max without raising the others.

You can upgrade it at any bazar, there should be an npc with item upgrades at each of them.

edit; Keep in mind that all upgrades work the same as with Dragonflight. If you upgraded something and you replace it later with another piece of equipment you will get a heavy discount until it's upgraded to the same ilevel again (instead of thousands of bronze it's a few hundred).

Thank you so much for the help ❤️ I've gone to upgrade a few pieces now, but I need to re-farm some bronze... ^^;
