Farming

Doing nothing but killing a certain type of monster for the express purpose of getting them to drop certain items. "I farmed the Murlocs on the coast for Slimy Murloc Scales for an hour last night." Its common for tailors to kill lots of humanoids to get cloth. Or to continually kill a certain elite mob known to drop good items.

Many quests involve farming. For example, killing Kolbolds in order to get their candles.
