Actual ShadowFang Chances?

Does anyone have report of getting it in x amount of runs? Im about 17 in.. and Imagine itll take near 100.. and hopefully I get an ass blade too.

Cruel barb wont drop for me. lul..
 
0.05% something like 1 in 5000 runs if I remember rightly. Only reason it’s so common is due to people doing a lot of carries.
 
I think Ive decided to spend my time farming gold and Im just gonna buy one instead.
Yeah I was going to say it’s probably easier. So I have a character on every single single server at at least 1 factions AH and I can 100% confirm currently they range between 50-250g with the average server sitting at 100-150g so not too bad.
 
Managed to farm one on my level 40 shaman using the ravager 2h axe and some decent gear. Took about 9 runs. Since then ive got 3 more boe's. I skin all the leather and send to a LW to convert into heavy leather and sell crafted gear on AH, I send the greens to another bank alt to just sell for better than vendor/disenchant value, usually 25-40 silver each. I have turned SFK farming into a viable gold per hour method, and when a SFK finally does drop the profit spikes. Can't wait to get to 60 and really perfect my methods.

Mages suck farming the first part due to frost resist, and are quishy, and we can't make pallies on horde side, so I like using an enhancement shaman to farm. Even at 40 I can pull 5 mobs at a time, crusader helps heal without using mana, and windfury procs after ravager is done most of the time, and sader procs off ravagers spin as well. The mail armor offers better dmg reduction, but unlike warriors, I can heal when needed. Once I get to 60 I can spec enough into the resto tree as well to get quick heals that dont have much kickback and can crit more often for o shit moments.

I'd even go so far as to say if geared and played correctly shaman could be the fastest SFK farming class. I intend on going blacksmith in addition to my skinning, to unlock the chests.

Guess you might have to just farm gold via pickpocketing or something and buy one, they only go for like 100-200g, thats a day or less of farming at 60. I just like the feeling of getting drops myself, the sudden happiness of randomely seeing it in the loot window. I'm going to be the number one shadowfang/assasins blade farmer on my server. One down, many to go.
 
Im currently doing both actually.. I get about 4g raw from a run of SFK. Only clearing to the worg boss.. then vendoring and mailing stuff off to my twink to process it for more gold. Is a good suggestion.. And now that Ive hit 49 its quite a bit easier.
 
It was 0.025% for classic I believe, but this holds true.

Really not worth the farm anymore considering they are going so cheap on most servers.

By the time you're 60 you can probably just spec into the elemental tree and get the fire totem damage up, shock cd lower and extra crits for clearing mobs quicker.

I doubt you'll even need the extra points into the resto tree, the quicker you kill mobs, the less damage they're going to deal to you

Also interesting tactic I noticed some guy on my server using: (Applicable to any who can use 2h Axe), you can round up as many mobs as you can tank for a few hits (Probably quite a few with Mail+ armour) and have your https://classic.wowhead.com/item=7717/ravager equipped. This should AoE them all down in a few hits with 60+ DPS armour equipped and talents.

Really effective to boost/farm low level dungeons


Edit: just seen potato posting about using the same method :p

Wasn't trying for it tho, was just running a leveling toon thru on a second account. Already had 3 from AH at release. o_O

Mine dropped off arugal, obviously, but it does in fact drop off anything in the instance? Just coincidence for me?

Im only 49 on my main.. so its not so easy.. I also play rogue.
Just get to 60, man... everything is easier. A couple hours farming at 60 and you can buy one, don't gimp yourself.
(tho this was on a rogue too and only level 53 or so :p… but the weapon from AV is free and very good for level.)

I've seen quite a few rares just power leveling toons. I'd just set to master loot and charge people per run while farming.

You can pop https://classic.wowhead.com/item=5421/fiery-blaze-enchantment on ravager if you're alliance. The fiery blaze proc can proc ravager which can proc fiery blaze. It's actually disgusting.
 
So.. I remembered there might be a vendor outside SFK... for alliance.. Wow.. Its even got repair.. /fail!

Now my runs arent a pain and Im looting everything/skinning everything.

Im 43g in.. I last saw one going for 120.
