Barbarian Grinding Locations

Until there are more quests added, everyone will have to spend some time grinding. Because of this, I am trying to get a decent list together here of locations that are particularly suited for grinding as a Barbarian. Locations that are specifically good are those with melee based mobs in a large, spread out, area.

I'm not able to get in game right now, so I'll hold on off posting locations since I don't remember specific mob names/locs offhand, but, whatever areas you know, post the mobs, their level and at least the zone, I'll compile it based on level ranges up here.

For now, I'll just copy and paste individuals responses up here, eventually I'll go through and reformat it and whatnot so it looks pretty :P

Barbarian Grinding Areas:

36-40 (Thanks to Dregos):
The merc camps in Wildlands of Z, far north.

44-48 (Thanks to Kuranes):
The Atzel camps in the SE part of Field of the Dead

47-50:

The Dead Forest - Southern Field of the Dead, werewolves. Highly populated and quick respawns.


58-61/62 (Thanks to Remnance) Thunder River:

Grind the boars around the level 60 destiny quest instance entrance, hardly anybody is ever there and if they are they're just passing through to the instance.


50-54 (Thanks to Caratt): East Cannibal Camp (E Mountains)

Fast respawn rate and is very close to the wanted poster. By the time you get back from getting the new poster they mobs will have respawned. Starts at 2 bubs per run and goes down from there. I 2 manned this for abour 4 hours 1 hour per level.

52-56 : Repeatable Villa quests in Noble District

Gathering Herbs, Collecting Valuables and the others. Can do them seemingly infinitely and the mobs always spawn at equal level. Also some nice blues!

54-58 (Thanks to Remnance):

If you're on a PvP server and don't feel like putting up with ganking, grind the cannibal caves from 54-57 or so, very fast respawns and you're all by yourself.

54-58 (Thanks to Caratt):East White Hand Camp (E Mountains)

Eastern mountian regions where the White Hands are. Mobs are level 54+. About 2 bubs per run at 56. Always faster if you have 2 players. Fast respawn rate. Run into the boss in the middle of the camp ti kil yourself and death travel to pick up the 2 wanted posters again. Rinse and reapeat. Mobs are close together so make sure you have 2 players.


56-ish to 59-ish (Thanks to SolexBold):

Vanir Camps in E. Mountains west of the northern Hunting Camp. I was getting about a level an hour grinding solo last night. I'm reaver spec. I had to pop a heal pot about every other fight, when taking on 2+ mobs because of knockback, but other than that it was really fast and easy. Just avoid the bosses if you're solo.


60-62 (Thanks to siregar):
- Thunder river: just south of the main town grind on the bandits there
- Atzel's approach: On the west side grind on the troglodyte and the neutral mammoths and on the freezecrawler on the hill side. Just do a loop around there and you can keep going



63-65 (Thanks to siregar):
- Thunder river: Grind on the picts witch doctor's and savages and the chiefs boss. They're very squishy I pull them in a group of 3-4 and 2 CoS finish them all.
- Atzel's approach: Grind on atzel's pickets and conscpripts. Once you hit 64 go up the freezecrawler nests and turn north down the hillside to skalestein or some area like that and grind on bandits lvl 66-69.


Level 64-68 (Thanks to Cassio): Cart Grind/Gong (Group Grind)

There is a cart you can beat on at the Aztel camp near the Skammestein rez point that gives you a constant flow of mobs. Lots of groups want to grind there, so be ready for PvP (unless you are on a PvE server, bleh ).

A slightly less crowded spot is the frozen lake, which is NW of the cart grind. If you have the quest, there is a gong you can hit for some massive aggro; even without it, there are a number of camps you can hit up in a rotation that leaves little/no downtime.


Level 68-72 (Thanks to Cassio): Ivoryvale

The mammoths are a great solo grind spot. They are yellow, so you can just walk up behind them and start whacking. If you are a DW, they are practically dead already by the time they turn to. The respawn rate in the area is quite high. Even with 2-3 others in the area, there is almost no down time.

As a DW, at Level 68, you'd have to rest some between mobs and or keep a steady supply of pots ticking. Once you are 70-71, you are killing the mammoths so fast that your only limitation usually is the cooldown on your CoS. (Get the Epic one-hander from the Arena quest; the fatality boost you get will alleviate a lot of downtime -- free stam ftw!)


Level 70-75 (Thanks to Cassio): Aztel Fortress

This is a great group grind spot, complete with its own on-site rez point. However, this is another popular spot; if you are trying to grind there during peak times, expect lots of PvP.

Apes and Undead is another good grind spot for around this level. It is less popular than the fortress grind. N of Ivoryvale I believe and up the mountains there are good camps of apes (level 71-73 or so) and undead (similar level). You can solo grind these mobs fairly easily (especially the undead, which are more spread and seem to aggro less), but expect zerg groups to run you off if you are rolling PvP.
