Hillsbrad Foothills – A Zone Overview in World of Warcraft

Hillsbrad Foothills is a Horde zone, meant for players level 15-60 and founded in Classic World of Warcraft. Home to a whole lot of ambitious farmers who seek not only herbs, but also ore and the loot from the zone’s many rares.

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

Chests

Below are the types of treasure chests that I’ve found in Hillsbrad Foothills. 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.

• Sturdy Treasure Chest

Herbalism

One of the best places to farm Mageroyal, along with Briarthorn. Remember there could be competition in these parts, and holidays in the winter have this zone packed with people doing daily events and such.

• Briarthorn – 224
• Mageroyal – 280
• Swiftthistle – 100
• Bruiseweed – 23

Fishing

• Raw Sagefish – 92
• Oily Blackmouth – 38
• Firefin Snapper – 2
• Stranglekelp – 17
• Rumsey Rum Dark – 8
• Iron Bound Trunk – 6
• Watertight Trunk – 8

Mining

One of the absolute best places to farm both Tin and Silver Ore, and because of this, there are usually other farmers about. Not only that, but during the winter holidays, events take place in this zone, causing more traffic. Aside from all that, a definite go-to area.

Tin Ore – 370 Coarse Stone – 401 Silver Ore – 51

Jade – 2 Lesser Moonstone – 5 Moss Agate – 5 Shadowgem – 5

Goldmaking

In this Hillsbrad Foothills 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.
