The rare Dark Hooded Cape is the one to want, and Nimar the Slayer, a rare spawn, carries it on about 10% of kills.The rest sits in the 30–38 band beside it: 27 items in all.10 of them drop from creatures living only here; the other 17 are rewards the zone keeps to itself.

No class takes more out of Arathi Highlands than a paladin.The Horde board here runs to 28 quests against the Alliance's 17, so the two sides are not walking the same zone.By level 60 another 498 world drops can surface here, but they surface anywhere in Eastern Kingdoms and there is nothing to chase.That is enough to clear the zone out rather than pass through it.

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

Something in here is wrong.

Say what it is. It goes straight to a person.
