Comic #20: AQ Farming (Patreon)

Originally published Feb 13, 2006.

Good lord, 19 panels.

This is another one of those older comics that require some context to understand. The Ahn'Qiraj raids were initially inaccessible to each server until that server completed an opening event. Each server had to farm and turn in tons of various materials to start the event. Similar to Warfronts now but on a massive scale. One of the materials was linen cloth, and the most efficient way to farm it at the time was to run Ragefire Chasm, a low level dungeon located in Orgrimmar. Since this was before the LFG tool, you would have to enter Orgrimmar to get to the dungeon entrance. Unless you had stealth, or in this case feign death, this generally involved corpse running several times.

At the time, watching some hunter friends feign their way into the dungeon, I thought it was funny from a lore perspective as it makes NPCs look incredibly gullible, hence the comic.
