The rare Sickle Axe is the one to want, and Crushridge Warmonger, an elite, carries it on under one kill in a hundred.The rest sits in the 30–38 band beside it: 9 items in all.6 of them drop from creatures living only here; the other 3 are rewards the zone keeps to itself.

No class takes more out of Alterac Mountains than a paladin.By level 60 another 624 world drops can surface here, but they surface anywhere in Eastern Kingdoms and there is nothing to chase.A paladin outgrows the band before the list runs out, so fill the slots that are empty and go.

276 world drops could surface for a level 32 paladin — anywhere at all, so there’s nothing to chase here.

Something in here is wrong.
