Here’s our WoW Shadowlands Druid Speed Set for level 60! We’ll show you all of best gear and requirements to have a speed farming druid.
If you’re looking to farm old-world raids and dungeons for gold, transmog, or even just for fun, then druid is your best pick. Equip a speed set with it as well, and you’ll be clearing dungeons faster than Usain Bolt on Azerite juice.
Speed Farming Addons
Here’s some addons related to speed farming.
Monkeyspeed
Monkeyspeed is an addon that will show you your current speed as a percentage of your run speed. It’s a fun and useful addon to use while running a speed set.
LootAppraiser
LootAppraiser makes farming infinitely more fun by calculating the total value of items that you’ve looted in a specific time period. You can even race other people and try to loot the most gold value.
Note: It will require an addon such as TradeSkillMaster to get the prices.
Best Covenant for Speed Farming
Night Fae is generally the overall best due to the Soulshape ability. This grants you 50% movement speed for a short period, with a low cooldown.
Best Druid Conduit for Speed Farming
There’s one relevant conduit, and it’s called Tireless Pursuit (Finesse). For 3 seconds after leaving Cat Form or Travel Form, you retain up to 40% movement speed.
Best Druid Race for Speed Farming
These are the top four races for druid speed farming
Zandalari Troll
For raw speed, Zandalari Troll is the best because it has the racial Embrace of Gonk that increases movement speed by 5%.
Night Elf
Night Elves are the best race for the alliance overall and have a few advantages. Firstly, their racial Quickness grants 2% movement speed. They also have another racial called Touch of Elune that increases their crit rating during the day. This will be useful for the Longstrider azerite armor trait as we’ll be aiming to stack crit for the effect.
Lastly, Night Elves possess possibly one of the most useful farming abilities; Shadowmeld. There are many times when you’ll be stuck in combat, and this will allow you to get out of it instantly.
Dark Iron Dwarf
Dark Iron Dwarves can be great for farming dungeons due to their Dungeon Delver racial, which increases movement speed by 4% while in dungeons. They also have the Mole Machine racial, which can be used as a teleport to a huge amount of places in the world.
Worgen
Worgens have Darkflight, which grants them 40% speed for 10 seconds on a 10 min minute cooldown.
Best Professions for Speed Farming
Jewelcrafting
You’ll need Northrend Jewelcrafting to craft the Figurine – Ruby Hare trinket, which has 2 sockets for movement speed gems.
You can also make Jeweled Lockpick from Legion Jewelcrafting, which can lockpick chests in dungeons.
Battle for Azeroth
Heart of Azeroth from BFA is required for this speed set. You might also want to unlock world quests for the azerite armor and to level up your necklace.
BFA world quests are unlocked by completing the quest Uniting Kul Tiras (Alliance) or Uniting Zandalar (Horde). If you have BFA world quests unlocked on another character, then the rep requirements can be avoided. Otherwise, you’ll need to get to friendly to complete it.
Head to Earthen Guardian to start the BFA questline, and you’ll unlock the heart and world quests in the same chain.
WoW Shadowlands Druid Speed Set Gear
Now we get to the all-important part; the actual speed set gear! Patch 9.2 made this much easier due to crafters now being able to add speed to crafted gear via Pure-Air Sail Extensions.
Note
If you just want to get an easy speed set, then simply buy or craft all of the 233 ilvl Shadebound crafted gear that have Pure-Air Sail Extensions attached to them.
Head
- Gonk Outrunner Mask – It can be obtained from certain world quests on the BFA map, or any world quest that rewards Azerite Armor Cache. You’ll need to get lucky.
- Gravethorn Hood – Same as above.
OR
- Flashpowder Hood – Drops from Overseer Korgus, the last boss of Tol Dagor. Easy to solo on normal. Higher drop rate & ilvl on Mythic.
These azerite armors have Longstrider, which is a core part of the speed set.
Neck
Heart of Azeroth – It’s from the BFA intro questline and is required to activate the azerite gear and Longstrider trait. Level it up by collecting azerite as much as possible for the extra crit.

Shoulder
- Fathomstalker Shoulderpads – This is a Benthic armor piece from Benthic Spaulders. It can be bought from Finder Palta or Artisan Itanu in the BFA zone Nazjatar 5 Prismatic Manapearl.

Wrist
