Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

hi guys
all days i farm soulshards in burning steppes, from little low hp imps, flamekin torchers, 1 min and i get 5 shards
but now i cant doin this, because when i drain soul from this boys, i get nothing...
anyone know why?

I decided to fly over to Burning Steppes and see if they still gave me shards, they do. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be giving you shards unless they hit the debuff limit or your Soul Drain buff got resisted. (Yeah it's dumb like that.)

There are two kinds of imps there, I noticed that I could gets shards off of one kind and not the other. The lower level ones (near the orges) you can still get shards from.

I like to queue for AV and go to the middle field and farm up like 20 in 2 min, can get bad games though where the trolls have already taken over mid.

Correct. Guess they made the higher level imps unable to gain any exp from (since aoe farming them all over is actually good leveling speed).

The lower level imp packs have 3 spots: 1) At the border between Redridge and Burning Steppes, 2) Southwest edge of Dreadmaul Rock, where the cave icon is, and 3) On top of Dreadmaul Rock

I'd recommend AV atleast as long as they have it in the oldschool state with NPCs and mines by going to Field of Strike and spam Drain Soul on any nearby NPCs for fast shards. Just be careful if your side is winning the NPC fights or if others are there too.
