Hellfire Peninsula – A Zone Overview in World of Warcraft

Hellfire Peninsula is a contested zone, meant for players level 10-30 in Retail WoW and founded in The Burning Crusade expansion of World of Warcraft.

I was afraid of this zone, not only because it was part of the whole Burning Legion ordeal, but because the dungeons were a bit rougher–hello mind control totems, can we not do this again?–and you also have the Fel Reaver wandering around the zone who could ultimately step on you and kill you. So if you heard his call in the distance and felt the ground shake…you ran.

Everything you find below is up to date for patch 9.2, and focuses on Retail WoW data.

Chests

Below are the types of treasure chests that I’ve found in Hellfire Peninsula. You won’t be able to find a chest in every single location they appear in, and they are on a timer if someone happens to take the specific chests in the zone before you.

• Silverbound Treasure Chest

Mining

I’ve farmed for Fel Iron Ore in this zone so much that I’m just sick of it. There are a few ups and downs over cliffs and whatnot, and that might be from where some of my frustration also comes from. Even as a druid, it sucks to drop out of flight mode just to fall over the side of a cliff and hop back into flight, and I can’t imagine how much more frustrating it is to those with flying mounts.

• Fel Iron Ore – 193
• Eternium Ore – 5
• Mote of Earth – 29
• Mote of Fire – 33
• Azure Moonstone – 1
• Deep Peridot – 1
• Golden Draenite – 1
• Living Ruby – 1

Vendors

These vendors sell special goods, meaning they’re limited supply. If someone buys one of these first, there’s a timer on when they’ll be back in stock. In no way does the list below show every vendor located in this zone.

These vendors may also sell certain recipes or patterns worth obtaining.

Goldmaking

In this Hellfire Peninsula 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.
