Burning Steppes – A Zone Overview in World of Warcraft

Burning Steppes is a contested zone, meant for players level 40-60 and founded in Classic World of Warcraft. If you traveled through quests in Redridge Mountains, then you’ll know of the infamous John J. Keeshan you meet in this zone. Not only that, but Blackrock Mountain holds a variety of dungeons.

Everything you find below is up to date for patch 8.3.

Goldmaking

In this Burning Steppes goldmaking section, I’ll be listing items I acquired as I leveled throughout the zone. While I don’t focus on the special vendor items you could obtain within the zone, there is a chance for them to fall from open world mob drops.

More specifically, you’re able to buy healing potions and such from vendors, but they’re also mob drops, therefore they’ll be in the goldmaking listing below.
