Tiny Emerald Whelpling Farming Location (Classic - WoTLK)

The Tiny Emerald Whelpling is an out of combat vanity pet which you can find as drop from Dreaming Whelps, an enemy in the western portion of Swamp of Sorrows. Dreaming Whelps spawn by a small lake on the Deadwind Pass/Swamp of Sorrows border and share a spawn with another type of whelp that does not drop the Tiny Emerald Whelpling.

Depending on your server and the time you come out to Swamp of Sorrows, this location may be camped. It's not a very big area so it's not difficult at all for someone to take out all the mobs themselves and have down time. If you really want to make the most out of your time, grind an alt out here for a few levels while farming for the Whelpling. A character in their mid to late 30s won't waste any time waiting on spawns while hunting here.

Along with the Tiny Emerald Whelpling, you'll want to save all of the Small Flame Sacs that drop. They're used to create Dragonbreath Chili which is a food that's actually pretty high in demand since it randomly does AoE damage to all enemies around you. You can also use the Small Flame Sacs to make regular Fire Protection Potions, a lot less people use it for that though.

If you're someone who has a gathering profession, you'll be able to make a lot more gold at this location. Skinners will find Medium and Heavy Leather here, the Heavy Leather will almost always sell well on the Auction House since it's not only used in Tradeskills but raising reputation with the Thorium Brotherhood. For more information about raising reputation with the Thorium Brotherhood check out my Thorium Brotherhood Reputation Guide.

Miners will find Iron Deposits and Mithril Deposits throughout this area. Typically along the sides of the cliff or even inside of the cave here. For being such a small area, a surprising amount of mines spawn around here. Finally, Herbalists will benefit the most from farming here as Blindweed is extremely common in this zone and extremely valuable. In addition to the Blindweed you'll find Fadeleaf, Khadgar's Whisker and a few other herbs in the area.
