A easy place to farm the cages are the Boar's Coldsnout Boar South/West from Bladespire Fortress in Frostfire. Takes with lvl 100 only 1-2 Autohit and its already under 50% HP.

Had to unequip weapon and cloak to get them to survive long enough.

For Alliance... Catch a flight to Terokkar Refuge in Taldor. From there, head just southwest for plenty of Riverwallowers to farm.

Comment by Rayanna

A great place to farm for these is from the Riverwallows hanging out in the pond and river that runs alongside the Auchindoun in Talador. The closest neutral flight point is Retribution Point. They are level 94-95 and there are a ton of them, by the time you clear one side, the others have already respawned.

When I put work order for meat, instead of getting Savage Feast I get Raw Beast Hide. Am I doing something wrong or is that a bug? If someone can explain please. Thanks.

Comment by Dorgen

Does not currently stack so make sure you have inventory room to spare.

Comment by mvp967

Can these be placed inside the engineer refrigeration bags?

Comment by plutoniumx

They stack up to 20 now.

Placing a work order with Meaty Caged Beast will give you 1 Savage Feast or sometimes 2 Savage Feast with a level 100 follower.
Goldmane the Skinner Is probably the easiest follower to get for your Barn if you are in need of one.

Another really great place to farm these is near the Skysea Point, Gorgrond flight path. You go past the lvl 100's, head a tiny bit East, and down to the Young Rocktusks , lvl 92. Tons of them here and its pretty much endless.

To trap an animal, you must bring their health down to 50% or less. If you are high dps, have a pet, bodyguard, or trinket proc ... they will usually die before getting trapped. When you place the Iron Trap , it will sit for a second as it opens. It will not trap an animal during this period. Once it is opened, the damaged animal must walk over it.

I use the macro below to keep from killing them before they are trapped. Bring them to 50% then use the Iron Trap macro (below).

You trap animals (listed on the trap) to get one of the Caged Beast listed below. You then turn them in to the <Barn supervisor> either Homer Stonefield or Farmer Lok'lub. Depending on the type of Caged Beast you bring him, he will offer to start a workorder for:

Clefthoof or Elekk = Leathery Caged Beast workorder produces 8 x Raw Beast Hide

Talbuk or Wolf = Furry Caged Beast workorder produces 8 x Sumptuous Fur

Riverbeat or Boar = Meaty Caged Beast workorder produces 1 x Savage Feast

(Leathery Caged Beast Furry Caged Beast Meaty Caged Beast - MAY BE IN YOUR BANK to start the work order with them. They fit in the Reagents tab.)

With a LEVEL 100 follower working in your Barn (with the Skinning trait), instead of 8 you will produce 12, or instead of 1 occasionally you will get 2. Followers of lower level do not produce as much additional (stated in the tool tip Skinning).

Those of you that chose a Brewery for your Spires of Arak garrison, will have acquired Hulda Shadowblade at the end of your questline for the zone. Those that did not acquire Hulda Shadowblade, will probably need to find Goldmane the Skinner. When you free him you get Feline Friends Forever which rewards Follower: Goldmane the Skinner.
(Goldmane the Skinner)

Iron Trap allows the capture of Leathery Caged Beast and Furry Caged Beast.
Improved Iron Trap allows the capture of Leathery Caged Beast,Furry Caged Beast, and Meaty Caged Beast.
Deadly Iron Trap allows the capture of Leathery Caged Beast,Furry Caged Beast, Meaty Caged Beast, Caged Mighty Riverbeast,
adding the MIGHTY:
Caged Mighty Clefthoof, Caged Mighty Wolf, and Caged Mighty Riverbeast.

Leathery Caged Beast,Furry Caged Beast, and Meaty Caged Beast will always give the yield shown above, regardless the level of the animal you trap. A level 90 Clefthoof will give the same production from a work order as a level 100 Clefthoof.

Caged Mighty Clefthoof, Caged Mighty Wolf, and Caged Mighty Riverbeast will give 15/22 instead of 8/12 (without follower/with follower) and have the possibility of Savage Blood.

Deadly Iron Trap on Ironhide Bull gives Caged Mighty Clefthoof
Deadly Iron Trap on Direfang Alpha gives Caged Mighty Wolf
Deadly Iron Trap on Wetland Trampler gives Caged Mighty Riverbeast

---------------------------
TRAP MACRO
---------------------------

Instead of Iron Trap mine is now Improved Iron Trap or Deadly Iron Trap. (Everywhere in the macro where it says, "Iron Trap", I have added "Improved" so that now it says, "Improved Iron Trap" -- or "Deadly" and "Deadly Iron Trap".)

Type /macro into the chat window and your Macro Frame will open. There are two tabs at the top, General Macros and <CharacterName> Specific Macros. Click on the Character Specific tab and then find and click the New Button (bottom about center). A side window will open with a lot of icons, and the Red Question Mark icon selected. Leave the Red Question Mark icon as the icon selection and type in any name even a blank space will do in the top text area of the side window. So that I know it is a macro, I always give it some name even an X at times. I named this one TRAP.

Now click the Okay button and that side frame will close. Click on the large black text area to position your cursor into the text field, it should automatically be in the top left corner. Now copy and past the commands below into the window ... just as they are typed:

#showtooltip Iron Trap
/stopattack
/petpassive
/petfollow
/use Iron Trap

The first command makes the Red Question Mark icon turn into the Iron Trap icon.
Next is the command that stops your Auto Attack.
Next will put your pet on passive followed by the command to put your pet on follow.

All attacking has been stopped and the last act is to drop the Iron Trap.

Press the save button and the macro with the name you gave it and the Iron Trap icon will be there in your macro frame. Now you just drag it to an action bar (as you would any spell) and go test it out. And now you have made your first macro and have a bit of an understanding, you can go to:

WoWWiki Macro Slash Commands

And learn about macros a little more ;-)

If you happen to have a Spirit Lodge / Mage Tower with a portal to Nagrand that portal will take you directly to a good farming area for River Beasts.

Comment by PlainWhiteSocks

There's good spot for farming boars in Gorgrond at 43,37. Lots of level 92 boars that respawn really fast. With the reset time on the trap it's like you never run out of boars to trap.

For people without a coordinate addon, go East from Skysea Point. You'll come to some level 100 boars. Past them is the spawns for the lower level ones.

Happy trapping
