BFD Farming Advice

[Dcm]

So pretty much, I've been farming BFD on my main for RoP. I'm trying to avoid spamming dungeon finder on the character I need it on, to prevent some leveler from ninjaing it, because I'd probably just end up quitting on the character all together.

I'm on about 50 runs (which admittedly isn't so bad, but I'd MUCH rather farm SFK), but this is what I have so far: Tree Bark Jacket x2, Staff of the Friar, Martyr's Chain and Darkweave Breeches (not a zone drop, but I thought it was worth mentioning).

I just need advice from anyone whose decided to do the same grind as me really, because I feel like the way I'm doing it is pretty efficient, but I'm not really sure. Also feel free to use this method if you like it yourself.

In the following screenshot, you'll see the path I take, and if it's too hard to follow, then I'll be explaining it in words.

So pretty much, the yellow star is the starting point and the blue circle is the ending point. The red lines are pretty self explanatory, until I get to the room with Gamoorah. When I get to that room, I go to the left (left while facing it in the dungeon) aggroing all of the tiny murlocs in the water (imo these are worth killing because I've gotten most of my BoEs off of these specific NPCs), then I go into Domina's room, after that I kill Gamoorah and all of the mobs around him, then I go up into the hallway. My stopping point is after the gauntlet before Thruk, or the blue circle on the map (because running out after a full clear probably takes longer than the dungeon itself).

Let me know what you guys think. Any way to make this more efficient is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

If you don't have a booster it won't be much more effective.

efficient tip: Delete hearthstone. When you finish the run: hit escape> click help> click character stuck> click teleport to graveyard. This will kill you and take you to the nearest graveyard which happens to be right outside the instance. Reset instance as a ghost before running inside and you are good to go for another bfd that wont drop anything you want. This will save you from running all the way back to the entrance.

The class you play as will effect your time. I use a blood dk for taunt and other spells dont do any damage but agro mobs, although druid is probably better for movement speed.

If you are running it on a p2p with a seperate lowbie character of yours tagging along, one way would be to park your llowbie in the yellow circle on the map below. pull everything to orange, kill and loot. this way you dont have to drag your slow moving lowbie everywhere on follow.

Although, if you get tired of pulling crap, having your lowbie on follow to agro mobs helps. You will need to kill mobs and loot frequently. This is not time efficient but after so many runs I just get tired of putting in effort, because pushing buttons is hard man.

Put on some music, watch netlfics. Just chill when farming. Just do an hour or two a day, don't burn yourself out.

Thank you so much! I actually use my druid for this, with gift cloak enchant and a pair of trash boots with minor speed on them. I'm also feral, so pulling mobs isn't an issue with faerie fire.

And also, would you recommend a full clear with that hearthstone trick? Or just clear up past the gauntlet then reset?

Yeah I usually do a full clear. I get the guardian of the deep and the crabs around him last. Dont bother with the neutral fish or the final boss. They drop nothin.
