The birdmen of Terokkar Forest place high on my list of grinding mobs. They could be found in three encampments located within the forest. The three camps are veil Reskk, Veil Shienor, and Veil Skith. You will know you’re at the right spot if you can see tree house above.
What make these birdmen of Terokkar Forest attractive for farming are their Arokkoa feathers. These feathers are used to build up your Lower City Rep. Turn in 30 Arakkoa feathers to Vekax at the northern portion of Lower City. You can turn in feathers for Rep until you get Honored with the faction. Granting that you’re not running any instances, you’ll need at least 1,080 Arakkoa Feathers to reach it. For Humans, they’ll need a minimum of 990 feathers.
That may seem a lot but the feathers have a 50% chance to drop per kill. Plus, there are times that 2 or more feathers drop from the same mob. According to my estimation, you’ll be Honored by farming at around 4 hours of farming. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone. You get rep while making easy WoW gold.
So you might be asking how you can turn these feathers into gold. When you turn in the feathers, you’ll be receiving 250 Lower City rep and an Outcast’s Cache, which will contain a random green item. The bag might also include potions and scrolls from time to time. If you’re lucky, the bag could contain a blue item such as Windwalker’s Footwraps, Talonite’s Boots, Ravenguard’s Greaves, and Dreadhawk’s Schynbald. You could sell these items for decent gold.
If you’re already Honored with the Lower City, you could still farm for Arakkoa Feathers. Based on my experience, it is more profitable if you sell the Arakkoa Feathers over the Auction House. A single Arakkoa feather can go for at least 1gold at the AH. It’s not only those wanting to be Honored with Lower City that’s your customers but also Leatherworkers. The feathers are used to make Knothide Quiver.
With that said you must prepare for competition while farming the birdmen. In my server, there’s at least one farmer in a camp at any given time. These are highly farmed mobs and you should be aggressive with your farming methods.
Arakkoa Feathers could make you lots of WoW gold quick. If my computations are correct, you should make at least 200 to 300gold per hour farming for these feathers.
