High-Risk Crafting Overview
Dungeon and Raid bosses will occasionally drop new recipes requiring High-Risk materials. Recipes and materials come in uncommon, rare and epic quality. Level 50+ zones now offer a variety of High-Risk exclusive crafting ingredients. Most High-Risk materials can be gathered even if you do not have gathering or crafting professions. Each zone has materials unique to that zone.
Exploration and Farming has increased value in High-Risk beyond crafting materials. Notorious Monsters are drawn to the scent of blood, so as you kill creatures, you have a chance spawn a rare mob specific to the zone you are in that has exclusive High-Risk loot. You will also come across Hidden Caches and Beast Nests while exploring that contain loot and summon powerful beasts.
Where do I obtain new crafting materials in Classic WoW?
- Step 1 is to ensure you are in High-Risk.
- You need at least high enough item level to obtain the Dungeon Hunter buff. Farming Naken will not earn you High-Risk Material Rewards.
- Check out the Zone Guides below to see how to obtain the specific materials you are seeking.
- If your goal is to farm, not murder, then you will obtain significantly more High-Risk Materials by activating For The Horde! or For the Alliance! found in the general tab of your spell book.
For the Horde! & For the Alliance!
- Declare your loyalty to your faction!
- Members of your faction can be certain you will not betray them while For the Horde/Alliance is active.
- Allows for safety in numbers and grouping without gimping your ability to farm effectively.

- Access to exclusive High-Risk quests, "Horde Expedition:" and "Alliance Expedition:" found on the War Herald by your capital city Call Board.
- Significantly increases your chance to find High-Risk Materials from creatures, skinning and resource nodes.
- This does not affect Bloodforged drop chances.
- This does not affect Beast Nests.
- This does not affect Hidden Caches or Crow's Cache.
- This spell is found in the General Tab of your Spellbook.
