Southern Barrens – A Zone Overview in World of Warcraft

Southern Barrens is a contested zone meant for players level 25-60, founded in Classic World of Warcraft. Trust me, it’s not as bad as Northern Barrens. At least, not trade chat.

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

Reputations:

• Cenarion Circle
• Ironforge

[section label=”Archaeology”]Archaeology Finds

Note:
There’s a possibility of finding Archaeology dig-sites listed below in this zone, but that doesn’t mean they’ll always be here. It’s just something that’s good to know in case you plan on working with this profession.

• Dwarf
• Fossil
• Night Elf

[section label=”Chests”]Chests

Below are the types of treasure chests that I’ve found in Southern Barrens. 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.

• Silken Treasure Chest
• Silverbound Treasure Chest
• Solid Chest
• Sturdy Treasure Chest

[section label=”Herbalism”]Herbalism

After the first rotation on the route, the herbs weren’t really spawning. After the second swing of the route, the herbs were on a better respawn timer. It’s possible on the first time I didn’t grab enough herbs for the respawn to kick in properly, so get all herbs you see.

• Kingsblood – 87
• Khadgar’s Whisker – 51
• Liferoot – 42
• Goldthorn – 23

[section label=”Herb/Mining”]Herb/Mining Combo

No data gathered for this section, however I do plan on creating a section for it.

Keep in mind, combo routes can only be seen in my In-Depth Farming Guide for World of Warcraft.

[section label=”Fishing”]Fishing

No fishing route has been established for this zone yet.

[section label=”Mining”]Mining

This route crosses over horde territory and also gets close to an alliance section, so both sides play the caution card if you’re a fairly low level. The zone itself isn’t a large one, so I think you get a good amount of the rare ore as well as Iron.

Timed: 30:00
Class: Druid

• Iron Ore – 243
• Heavy Stone – 302
• Copper Ore – 4
• Rough Stone – 8
• Silver Ore – 9
• Gold Ore – 7
• Lesser Moonstone – 1
• Jade – 3

[section label=”Reagents”]Reagents

This zone has not yet been tested for reagent routes.

[section label=”Vendors”]Vendors

Note:
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.

[section label=”Quests”]Quests

No data for quests are available yet.

[section label=”Goldmaking”]Goldmaking

In this Southern Barrens 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.
