Cataclysm: what is still worth farming
Updated 2026-09-22 · checked against Midnight 12.1
December 2010: Deathwing broke Azeroth and the original zones were rebuilt around the damage. The level cap went to 85, goblins and worgen joined, and five new zones were added, from Mount Hyjal to the Twilight Highlands.
Firelands is the reason most collectors come back, with a mount from two of its bosses. Dragon Soul, the last raid, has more.
Levelling through it
Levelling an alt here? Its Chromie Time campaign has its own page: how it starts, the zones in order, and what it unlocks.
What it still has to collect
Counting…
Counts are a floor, not a total. The expansion is not recorded for every collectible, and many source lines name a boss without a zone. "Missing" uses what you have ticked on the mounts, pets and toys pages, in this browser.
Farm it
Its raids run on legacy loot: a solo character gets the whole loot table, whatever its class. Loot is still locked per boss, per character, per week. Tick a raid when you have cleared it and the tick clears itself at the weekly reset: Tuesday 15:00 UTC in the US, Wednesday 04:00 UTC in Europe. Tick a collectible when you get it; it is the same tick as on the collection pages.
Loading…
Drops come from the encounter journal's loot tables where it lists them, and from each collectible's own source line where it does not. The raid ticks are for one character: lockouts in the game are per character.
