How the heck do you farm the rabids? Every time I go to QHills they are camped by more than one person.

Yea with the increase in server population these are much more camped then previously, the camp is "yours" once you can be at and hold both spawns (wolves) or single spawn (grizzly) as they pop.

Starting at lv3 I usually just camp the lv3 wolf (other is lv5), its a rough fight if your new since its an even con plus the possible rabies. Kill and rest at its spawn point, most outdoor respawns are 6min 45sec so set a timer and be standing and ready to rock as soon as it pops. Each kill at lv3 is like 2% and the hide turn in is something like 12-15% of the level (based off 10% exp penalty from a caster). Which is much faster leveling for a new player vs. killing blues.

Most recently I did this route on a mage, starting at 4 (cause needed pet) I farmed up 30 rabid wolf hides controlling both spawns cause mage pets OP and almost hit lv5 off kills. Turn-ins got me to mid way through lv8 and then went to rabid grizzly, 42 spawns later I hit 12 after turn-ins. 220pp earned

usually I just kind of do a run by to see if they've pop when I'm traveling to sureglade and then later Blackburrow but yea its camped fairly often. I know its somewhat profitable but camping them doesn't seem like an overly exciting prospect.

oh yes its mind numbingly boring, after doing 42 cycles of the grizzly bear (almost 5 hours) I was dead inside. thankfully I did it while playing at work so the 6min idle time could be spent almost working.

I was trying to take out Rapid Grizzlies and Rapid Wolves yesterday in Qeynos and there was none to be found. I was out for about 4 hours and saw no Wolves and only about 5 Grizzlies.

I ran all over Qeynos and the zone felt like nothing was popping...

they all have static spawn points and roam to specific spots before returning to said spawn.

only 2 wolves and 1 grizzly, check the wiki as i believe they have coordinates listed

rabids usually spawn on the western side of the map in the hilly area not far in from the zone line from Qeynos, the bear spawn somewhat near the blackburrow entrance

There was one single person camping the rabid grizzly bear during most my entire stay in QHills. It was kind of tragic to see somebody punishing themselves like that.

Wisps and regular grizz are better exp and money and you don't have to worry about some bigger masochist trying to steal your spot if you let your guard down for a half a second.
