Do not be alarmed that the damaged Fel Reaver is elite, it does not fight back as you try to kill it. There are however several adds, so a group of 2-3 at least is suggested to deal with them.

Comment by 13796

27,78. As of the 22nd, it is currently bugged by not being able to loot it. Might be fix in the next patch

Comment by 16577

Make sure to just focus on killing it as the ambushers will keep spawning. Me and a druid killed 50 ambushers before we realized we needed to kill the reaver.

Comment by 17168

Solod this quest as a lvl 69 darkpact warlock.

Dotted the robot, put siphon life + cos on the adds, ran around in a circle, when there was enough adds I aoe feared em and shadowbolted the robot. When they came back i used coex to keep em off me until i got the cd back on aoefear.

always keep the robot dotted or u might just run around there for the rest of your life.

the easy way

Comment by 15298

Killed the robot and add's easy, but was unable to loot the mob still.

Comment by 18746

Solo'ed as a 69 protection pally on Aggramar, but the mob was below the ground or something, otherwise unlootable.

Comment by 16250

Easily Soloable by a Feral Druid, Level 69. Ignore the adds completely and you should be fine. I finished it with over half life left, looted and ran off still in bear form.

Comment by Megasaxon

Still bugged as of 10/02/2007, is in the patch notes for PTR 2.0.7 however, so should be fixed with that patch.

It also seems to reset properly when the server gets restarted or after maintainence.

Oh and the whole running away method didn't work at all for me on Barthilias.

Comment by PrimEviL

confirming veyska's method. it does appear bugged, but it can be done

Comment by edeen

Soloed this as a Marksmanship Hunter at level 70.

Just stand at max range of the reaver, after you started the "event", and when ze ambushers come, send your pet after them, make sure he has aggro on them all, otherwise it will be tricky to heal.

Comment by Drizimar

The quest is still broken. I can target the Fel reaver using /target, but when I try to Zap it I get the error "you need to target something first". I put in another /bug.

Comment by xcky21

finished quest w/ oomkin and feral druid and myself :)

11g 10s <- reward at 70

Comment by 22027

Did it, 68 lvl shammy. Just keep hiting him, dont mind for the alts. Killed him without touch any of the other alts

Comment by lerris

still broken, but from the 2.0.10 patch notes:

More fixes implemented in the "It's a Fel Reaver, But With Heart" quest to keep the Scrapped Fel Reaver from breaking.

So hopefully this quest will be working properly soon enough..

Comment by 28100

As of today, the quest was working. A quick DPS on the Fel Reaver prevented many spawns from appearing. When the fel Reaver died, so did all the spawns.

Comment by 10682

Just did this quest today on February 26 and when I first tried the quest it was bugged, then when the GM told me to wait I did and after a day it was there.

Comment by 17169

Not working for me, 3/1/07

Target scrapped fell reaver with /target, however its invisible, and if I try to use zapper on it and get the same 'you have no target'.

Comment by 21727

As of today (030207), the quest is fixed (at least I could make it). This quest is not as bad as people make it seem.

The elite remains in the ground and the mobs come one by one. The mobs are all normal mobs, I did the quest with a rogue (I'm a feral druid), I was tanking the adds while the rogue was in the elite, and let me tell you, after doing the quest I could have probably been all the time on the boss with the rogue and it would have ended much faster.

The adds are time based, and the timer is pretty long (maybe 15 seconds?). The elite also dies pretty fast. Easy quest, don't worry for healing, two dps is fine ^^

Comment by 2037

Was able to solo this as a fury warrior by just focusing all dps on the scrapped fel reaver and ignoring the adds until there were 4 and then just feared them. DPS will have to be fairly high to be able to kill it quick enough, but at least there is one group quest that a warrior can solo...

Comment by 36475

Soloed as a 67 combat rogue. Opened up with adren rush, ignored first add. Blinded 2nd add and popped evasion on the third. Went down without much trouble. (adds dissapear when it dies)

Comment by 32578

As a 69 Protection Paladin I was able to fairly easily solo this quest. I went full defensive/aoe grind mode. Put on seal of wisdom and just melee the adds down. They come for a long while, but they eventually stop. Heal yourself whenever you get low. Once they stop, just kill the reaver (very slow process at that point for me...)

Comment by kolroten

Read all ur comments and i decided to test 2 solo it as a 40/0/21 mage and yeyyy! It worked.... Tacs, Pop everything, sheep fist add, nuke w8 for second add, frost nova, nuke w8 för third add, frost nova and nuke frost nova and nuke and finally you will conquer him :) ty for all the comments. cya ingame

Comment by skyoverheaven

Just solo'd this quest as an affliction warlock (though any warlock can probably solo this) and as of Apr 7/07, the quest is working (at least on my server, Feathermoon). Start the quest, dot up the Fel Reaver and then just sit back and take care of any mobs that pop up. I had my voidwalker tanking the Zaxxis adds while I dotted them. Good luck to everyone on this quest!

Comment by qhiiyr

Solo'd as a 70 frost mage (19/0/42). The first time I died with the reaver only having about 800 health left. The second time I died way earlier because I used my only health pot the first time.

The third time, I didn't actually have to use any pots, or even cooldowns (besides water elemental). When the first guy came, I backed up to the tent where the questgiver is and threw my water elemental on the mob, then went to continue DPS on the reaver.

When my elemental was at about 25% health and I figured he would lose the battle alone, I helped him finish off that first mob, then continued DPS on the reaver, with him helping. Second mob comes, I sheep him. Continued DPS. Third mob comes, put water elemental on him.

By the time the fourth came, the reaver was pretty low, maybe around 20% max, and I was near full health. Right behind the fourth came the fifth, sixth and seventh mobs, so I just kept ice barrier'ing and frost nova'ing to give me time to finish off the reaver.

Not sure why the successful time was so much easier than the unsuccessful ones, but it might have something to do with backing up to the tent; I think it stalled some of the adds.

As a side note, if you leave combat at all on this quest, the reaver disappears.

Comment by Jaece

For you solo Horde protection palys, start the quest and when the adds come, focus on them. Alternate using SoL/SoW and JoL/JoW to keep your health and mana up without healing. The adds WILL stop eventually and you can go to town on the reaver. I recommend you equip a 2Her, SoB/JotC, judging and resealing whenever you can. Your yellow hits will always be crits, and so will your judgements (SoB doesn't benefit from spell damage but JoB does). Anything to make it go faster because you'll be swinging for a little while.

Comment by 35640

Extremely easy for a hunter. Just get an Owl, put it on Defensive and have it right by your side. The adds will come for you, but get hit by the owls screech. You can just ignore the adds while your pet tanks them. Full out DPS the Fel Reaver and it should die well before your pet does. Once the Fel Reaver is dead, the adds despawn.

Comment by 44746

If you're having trouble solo'ing this and you are a ranged class, it might help to notice the rock formation near the fel reaver. If the camp is behind you and you face the fel reaver there is a rock formation that looks like a crab's claw on the right side. Land on it with your flying mount and start DPS'ing it from there. Once it gets to about 65% jump down so you don't leave combat, that should give you more of a headstart.

Comment by 41613

Solo'd this as a lvl 69 hunter. The quest however bugged out...in a good way though. After i activated the felreaver, i started shooting at it. and all my hits critted?!! During the time three lvl 68-69 non-elites spawns, and attacks u. My pet took care of the first one, the second one got a freezing trap, and my pet took the third one aswell. When the felreaver was dead the attackers despawned.

This was the easiest group quest ever. Although ppl with cloth or ppl who dont have range attack, this quest could be a little hard.

Comment by Pandor

A holy/prot paladin with some decent tanking gear can solo this easily. You can tank the adds, and if you're specced spiritual focus, just put on conc aura and heal through the damage the adds do. I finished on about 50% health and mana (8k hp and mana).

You should also judge wisdom on the fel reaver and just chop away at it with a dmg seal, I used seal of vengeance.

Once the fel reaver dies, the adds despawn.

Comment by 19282

Easiest quest I've ever done...
Level 70 Arms Warrior.

There were only two adds that hit me for 150 damage each, so I just tanked them and let them feed me rage to kill the Fel Reaver. The adds despawned after I killed the Fel Reaver.

Comment by Jamzo

Everyone can do this, even if you are holy priest.
Start the event, get on your flying mount, wait until the ads gets away (it takes some time, so be patient)
When they are gone, you can land and start killing the fel reaver and no ads will come. When he is dead you can loot and turn in the quest =)

Comment by arco

I had a 68 paladin and myself (70 rogue) that did this no problem. Paladin tanked the adds while I DPS'd the reaver. He didn't even have to bubble. Easy mode.

Also, the reaver was spawned and targetable for me around midnight on 4/28/07.

Comment by Cydelix

Very easy as level 70 Protection Warrior. Just make sure you have all the adds infront of you while you keep using Shield Slam and hit the Fel Reaver. Due to my trinkets I didn't lose any health at all (Dabiri's Enigma + Figurine of the Colossus).

Comment by 23862

Quite easy to solo as a lvl 70 hunter (mm 8/45/8), just let your pet take care of the first add then freeze trap the second and at the time the third arrives the fel reaver is dead.

Comment by Kryogen

05-19-07 @ 01:00 EST

Was able to solo this quest as a BM/Marks Hunter with ease. What I did was initiate combat via melee (would not let me fire at it initially) then immediately back up to max ranged. I got one initial ambusher to jump me, which I put my pet on (Boar, 70th, Max Armor rating). He took a while to kill the ambusher, but during the fight no other ambusers spawned to assist. So I was able to take the reaver down to 40% on auto shot alone.

Once my pet killed the ambusher, another one spawned and ran to the middle of the area where the Fel Reaver was laying, but did not aggro me. I put my pet on him just in case, and finished off the Reaver before the second ambusher was dead.

Regards.

Comment by 11037

This quest is probably the easiest I've ever done, I simply started the fel reaver, flew up on top of the rocks beside him and blasted away at him. No evades, no adds, simple as blasting away at him. If you are level 70 and have your mount, I would suggest this method, as it is the easiest and quickest 11 gold I've recieved.

Comment by Bunneh

Solo'd as a Arms/Fury Warrior. Just concentrated on the Fel Reaver, who oddly, takes alot of crits all the time from special moves (Slam/Execute/MS). Adds that did come along got ignored until there was a about 4 or so, popped retaliation and they went down quite fast. Last few adds were feared with Intim Shout. Took one Super healing Potion towards the end.

Comment by 30414

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND how u can solo this, after about 30sec i have more than 5 zaxxis on me

Comment by 57225

Tried to solo as 70 shadow priest ~600dmg. Got down to 11k hp and just ran out of mana, after potting, shadowfield, consume magic. dropped a fear and ran away...

I'd start with PWS then dots+Mind blast+mind flay. When the first add comes I'd fear, reshield immediately and continue nuking. Rinse and repeat when a new add arrives. This worked fine until about 4-5 of them overwhelmed me..

The rock trick lets me dps for a while but then the body just disappears/despawns. I'd say the best option is to figure out how much time you have exactly before the body despawns and try to drink up a bit before jumping down to continue nuking. As a spriest I suppose I should throw in more SWD also.... will try again tomorrow.

Comment by 4474

Solo'd it easily as an Affliction lock. Just keep the Fel Reaver Dotted up and focus on the adds. Could kill them as fast as they spawned so wasnt a problem.

Comment by 10467

Strange, i just did it for the first time on any character (my second 70) killed him and no adds spawned at all soo i just sat their and killed him, i looted him got the heart, turned the quest in.

Comment by 20436

Soloed as a 70 feral druid, not hard. Just go bear form and ignore the adds, I was tanking like 6 of them by the time the reaver died.

Comment by Manicminer

soloed as 70 frost mage. sheeped the first add and nuked the mob. summoned elemental after about 10 frostbolts, kept elemental on the mob. killed first add. sheeped second add continued nuking with me + ele. cold snapped ele back out when I had 3 adds, just kept them nova'd as long as poss, fel reaver was almost dead by now, ended up with 6 adds on me, spamming ice lance as fel reaver was on 2%, got it just in time.

Comment by 47076

soloable my affli lock just use dots on the reaver and the adds all the time..

Comment by Zurik

soloed as a lvl 69 markmanship hunter

Comment by Koshut

Easy soloble for a 68 frost mage... :P peace of cake :]

Comment by 23466

Just soloed as a 69 enhancement shammy. just threw earth elemental totem to take care of adds, grace of air, and magma totem. just keep stormstriking and shocking until dead.

Comment by 74899

68 Prot Pala, JoW on the elite, SoL up and spam HS and r1 Consecration. Never switched targets off the fel reaver just let the Zaxxis kill themselves by hitting me.

Comment by 34994

Soloable as level 70 druid, but bring epic gear (it helps)

Comment by 69431

just did it as 70 BM hunter with mount, used gasdar's tip to fly and shot from the rock above it, please note however, it is better for locks or hunters-because apparently the mob will despawn if the adds cant attack...
i set my pet to stationed below me and attack from the ground-ignored the adds while i kept mend pet and attacking the reaver too... was quite easy... alot of critics done...

hope it helps... best of luck to all who have yet to try it...

Comment by 78695

Wow, this was a really close fight as a 70 lock, did it on my fourth try.

So, I bring out felguard, turn on cleave, and load up the fel reaver with dots. By the time I start casting my first shadow bolt, the first Zaxxis spawns and starts attacking. I fear, blow my trinket, refresh dots, and continue nuking.

I do this for a while, until my felguard has 2 on him, and another spawns on me, so I have it intercept him, and i can continue pounding away. I blow a manapot and lifetap twice, (1300 lifetaps) and run around the fel reaver, as my felguard dies. So, i kited all the z's for about 10-15 secs, and my dots just barely killed him with me at 2k health or so.

If you jump through the rocks, you can kite the adds for a while longer, but even so, I can't imagine doing this without instant dots or a pet.

Comment by 80104

Just did it with my 70 balance druid in quest rewards gear, here's how I did it:

I stood on the crab pincer rock that geminidelsol talked about and started DPSing the fel reaver with insect swarm, moonfire and spamming starfire instead of wrath to save some mana. When it was down to around 60%-70% I summoned treants and continued using starfire and my DoTs (used innervate when I was around half mana). At around 35% my treants were almost over so I jumped down the rock moonfired a zaxis that was almost dead and focused on the Fel reaver with wrath and DoTs. Hope this helps other moonkins solo it. :D

Comment by 44071

Soloed as a 69lvl fury war.

Just dps Fel Reaver, without battle potions, Reckleness or any other things... 3 adds spawned, fear them, then ignore. Had to use healing potion and last stand.

Comment by phatb

This can be solo'd by anyone.

First, obtain the quest.

Second, run over to the fel reaver and shock it to start the event.

Third, after you start the event run over to the tent where you obtained the quest

Fourth, just sit and wait. If you get into combat and get out from either attacking the fel reaver or the adds, the fel reaver will despawn and you will have to restart.

Finally after about a few minutes the adds do respawn but the fel reaver is attackable. You can then attack the fel reaver without any adds coming.

Comment by 54671

2 paladins just downed it

just concentrate on the reaver

ignore the adds, its' easy

Comment by chimera

69 fury warrior: soloed by waiting the ambushers to despawn. It took more than 5 minutes. It's risky, because anyone who aggroes the ambushers _will_ reset the event and despawn the fel reaver. Thus it took me 35-40 minutes total, I don't recommend soloing this at peak time when lots of people wander around, not worth the time.
The zerg tactic just didn't work, I couldn't kill it faster then I died, altough I used health pot, fear+bandage and fel blossom aswell. I blame my shitty green gear :D

Comment by Shorty

Soloed this as a prot palain (00/49/12). It was mind-numbingly boring, but I didn't abuse the adds.

What I did was put judgement of light on the fel reaver and seal light, then use holy shield continuously to kill the adds- basically, AoE grinding them.

At about 40% (about 8-10 minutes) the adds stopped spawning.

I'd recommend bringing someone who can do some damage if you're going to do this, as it wasn't a challenge- just really slow and boring.

Comment by 76628

This quest is simple with a warrior and hunter.

The warrior tanking the spawns, while I(the hunter) burned through its health.

The adds didn't attack me or my pet.
Easy XP or money at 70.

Comment by 37945

Very soloable for a level 70 feral druid. Just throw on your tanking gear, start the event and go bear. Just keep the reaver targetted and throw mangle whenever it's up. Once the adds start coming in, keep demo roar on them and swipe spam when mangle is on cooldown. With decent tanking gear, the incoming damage will be low and the crits off of your swipe spam will keep you in rage to start queueing maul continuously. You might have to throw a frenzied regen, but it's unlikely. The mobs despawn after you kill the reaver.

Comment by Aeliel

Soloed as a 70 Draenei frost mage with quested gear. Sheeped the first add and summoned the elemental immediately, did my best to burn down the Fel Reaver while keeping the adds controlled (which sometimes meant having them chase me while the elemental beat on the reaver, and sometimes me killing an add or two to avoid getting overwhelmed). It took pretty much every single cooldown I had - mana gems, mana potions, healing potions, Gift of the Naaru, bandages, elemental, cold snap, frost nova, ice barrier, etcetera, etcetera. Was very close at times, and took quite some time (going by cooldowns: elemental, cold snap, elemental, elemental twice more and by the end I could've used cold snap again if I'd needed to).

Could most likely have been done more elegantly, but it felt incredibly satisfying.

Comment by lcbagna

I did it today, zap the Fel Reaver, summon your flying mount and wait over him for the adds to despaw, then start killing the fel reaver and no ads will come (as said by Jamzo).

Comment by 97484

Soloed as a 70 Hunter. This is very easy : use the item on the reaver and focus it. Under 15%, you may have more than 5 mobs attacking you, so just heal your pet, feign death and kill the reaver : all the mobs will disappear after the reaver's death.

Comment by 98260

soloed with 68 BM hunter in greens. Focus all ranged fire on the fel reaver while your pet distracts the raiders.

Comment by moggsy

Just FYI - anyone can solo this quest. Don't skip it just cause it says (group), it's honestly one of the easiest quests I've done.

EDIT: Maybe I should note that only two adds spawned for me throughout the fight.

Comment by BujuArena

Soloed EVILLY as a 67 Undead Priest. I came and got the quest, then read many comments here on Wowhead. I then noticed that two 70 Alliance players had already started the event and were killing endless adds, but they hadn't touched the Fel Reaver. I snuck around (they seemed too busy to notice me) to the back of the Fel Reaver and put a dot on it, tagging it. I waited around until their adds stopped spawning and they realized they had to kill the Fel Reaver. They didn't seem to notice that it had been tagged by somebody else, so they started killing it. When it was gone, I ran in, looted it, shielded, and started running away. Their warrior charged me and they both killed me, but it was all worth it! *Forsaken laugh.* Mwuahahahaha!

Unscarred and Nalania (Lightning's Blade), if you're reading this: I deserved to be camped for that. Thanks for the exp though!

Solo'd as a 70 Resto Druid (14/0/47)

Keep 3 Lifeblooms up.

Kept Moonfire and Insect Swarm up.

Hurricane'd per cooldown.

Took me 7 minutes because I had to wait for Innervate to come back up before I was comfortable hurricaning again.

Note: I have imp thorns.

Comment by Jackboy

First off, prot pally here.

Heh, I didn't read this first, and killed a buttload of adds using the usual consecrate/holyshield spam, eventually, they stopped coming.

THEN I realized I was supposed to be attacking the reaver...

Took me like, 6 minutes sitting there whacking on the thing with my Oathkeeper.

Comment by 97796

confirm
70 assassination rogue
just solo'd
mounted, wait, kill )

Comment by dracula

Done as feral druid lvl 70, full dps gear and bear form. Just focus on the fel reaver, swipe the adds to gain rage, and keep demoralizing roar on them to reduce their damage.

The weird thing is that all hits on the scrapped fel reaver critted, literally 100% crit rate on him. No idea why this was, but it worked nicely with improved Leader of the Pack.

Comment by 112617

Soloed easily with level 69 enhance Shammy. Just summoned my EE and let him take the adds. Had the Fel Reaver DPSd down barely after he died, gave him 1 HW.

Comment by Tadzulempke

Soloable with 68 MM hunter, the Ambushers will attack your pet, you need only some focus DPS.

Comment by Tuberon

Solo as a prot paladin.

I just let ALL of the adds poke at me while I kept going at the reaver, they died eventually.

Ignorance is bliss.

However, I did need to make a sandwhich mid-fight, as it takes a LONG time for a prot pally to do 50k damage.

Comment by g0urra

Tried this quest 27/01/08, failed it:
* Started with shocking the Fel Reaver, flying on the rock beside it and nuke - adds and Fel Reaver despawned after about 1 minute.
* Shocked the Fel Reaver when up on the stone - same result as above.
* Shocked the Fel Reaver, flew up and waited - same result as the two scenarios above.
* Strapped on my tanking gear, used Demo Shout to handle the adds, mangle etc - quest completed.

Seems like Blizzard fixed the quest.

Comment by Sinborn

51 posts and not a single one with coords of the scrapped reaver.

Since I'm trying to do this with a prot pally and I have alot of time to kill, it's at 26.6, 78.8

Comment by littlidabbi

Did this today as 69 BM Hunter. Probly a bug, but all my attacks and my pet's attack critted 100%.

Comment by 111432

Definately soloable. Done as a 69 hunter with a 68 pet. Buff up and DPS the hell out of the fel reaver and you can bring it down before the adds swarm you.

Comment by Poposhka

tried this with a 69 demo lock (+507 damage), just simply cannot put out enough damage before the ambushers kill my pet.

Comment by 132984

Easily soloed as a level 67 Hunter, pet took aggro off the elites that attacked and i just kept on at the Fel Reaver

Comment by 129678

Easy to solo as a 70 enhance shaman. Drop healing stream, GoA, and when the adds start to come drop Earth Elemental to take care of the adds. Only had to give the elemental about 2 heals while I dps'ed the fel reaver.

Comment by 5409

Clean this worthless info up. Yeah it's soloable.

Comment by 90866

I solo'ed it at 69 7/42/11 warlock ignored the adds, but found out that there was another player getting hit with the majority of the adds because he was where they were spawning.lol

Comment by Maybelline

Easily doable as a hunter with the old FD trick.

Zap him, send your pet in, start your shooting. The 100% crits are not a bug; anything that sits or lies down will be crit automatically when you hit it. Adds will spawn and whack away at your pet. When she's at about half health toss her a Mend; adds will come for you after a short while. Let them hit you for a bit, Feign Death, and the adds will be back on your pet (who should be back to full health now).

Rinse and repeat when your FD cooldown is up, all the while you're critting away at that Reaver. Job done, congrats.

Comment by NightmareMJ

Soloed as 70 rogue(shadowstep/combat), just evasioned through the adds when they got to be 6+ they actually helped me dps faster with all the riposte, took about 1.3 mins to kill it in standard welfare epics.

Comment by 138994

Soloable as a newly 70 enh shaman. (Crappy green and blue gear) My dps took care of the reaver, Fire elementals dps took care of the adds. Had to heal elemental once. Popped bloodlust halfway through.

Comment by Shiza

As 70 mage whit some epic gear you can just take the adds, no need to bug it. Shatter helps alot to 2-3 shot a mob. Don't need 2 people realy.

Comment by 51192

Soloable (though not exactly easy) as a level 70 combat-specced rogue (mostly SSC/TK gear); I started the event, began killing the fel reaver and waited until I had about 4-5 adds on me. Then I went all out, popping Adrenaline Rush and Blade Flurry, thus both taking a good chunk out of the fel reaver's health and killing all the adds.

After a while, you might have too many adds on you, at which point it's very useful to use Evasion/a potion.

Don't bother single-targetting the adds; either kill them with Blade Flurry or just leave them alone (they'll despawn when the fel reaver is dead).

Comment by Solution

I was able to solo this very easily as a level 70 Protection Warrior in my PVP gear (which consists of the blue 2.4 'Savage Plate' set... neither gemmed nor enchanted.) I used two 1H weapons and ignored the adds, just beat on the Fel Reaver in Battle Stance. Once there were three adds I feared them, and once I was in Execute range I just spammed that.

No sweat. =)

Comment by 83139

as a 70 feral druid i ignored the ads since leader of the pack was kinda keeping me up and i just ended up spanking the fel reaver

Comment by durenas

Did it today as a 70 frost mage with just the tailoring epics and various quest blues. Start off with water elemental and burn him down with frostbolts, then when the adds start coming in full force, frost nova, move to the side, frostbolt some more, then when frost nova breaks, summon water elemental again, have him target the fel reaver while you run around kiting the adds while icelancing the fel reaver. Use gem, evo for abit more mana and down he goes.

Comment by moggsy

As of 2.4.2 the fel reaver disappears if you run/fly away or if you stand on the rock.
So, if the adds reset in any way, you can't complete the quest. Better off getting a friend if you can't solo it!

Comment by 152085

lv 67 hunter + pet special tactics:
nuke the reaver, use some traps and FD from time to time... be creative, but don't try to kill the ambushers!

HF

Comment by Misdiagnosed

Hunters while both your trap and FD are on cooldown, make your pet attack each add... make it a ton easier.

Comment by 147483

today soloed it, the adds will despawn and you can easily kill him

Comment by 142158

Confirmed druid flight form works. Just went into flight form and waited 5 min for the spawn to go away. Then just killed it "boss" (He don't fight back). Did this in patch 2.4.2

not quite sure but my guess its this is a bug, i started attacking as a 70 BM hunt and my pet and i got crit hits all the time! (12/06/08) and i only got 2 adds wich i tanked... lowered me to 56% they hit really low, im geared with blues for pvp and only recived hits of 190 top mostly 70

Comment by 11998

I don't know if its bugged as of patch 2.4.2 but i didn't have a single add, i killed it in like a minute and had no add whatsoever, if anyone can confirm this please do. I am a 69 BM hunter.

Comment by Draintwo

It would appear that now(Patch 2.4.3) this quest has been fixed where you can no longer just simply wait and let the Ethereal Mob Adds despawn and then simply kill the Fel Reaver. I tried multiple times today and the Ethereals now walk over to the Fel Reaver first and then chase you down wherever you are and attack you there. Leaving combat of course despawns them and the fel reaver for the event.

Soloed as a lvl 68 bm hunter

Comment by 60381

Found out a great way to kill him, without breaking a sweat =)

Just start killing the Fel reaver, no adds will spawn if you dont have the quest. Once he is low hp, run on over to the npc, get the quest, and finish him...

The way I did it, I kept a dot on him, so he wouldnt reset once I went a bit away, and killed him once I got the quest. Quest giver is just near him. And no adds came - but this is probably an exploit tho

Comment by 153033

68 hunter--just shot him down, completely ignored adds while me and pet attacked reaver, all adds attacked pet but reaver was down while pet was at 25%

Comment by 109645

saw the quest wile flying by, it was extremly easy as a lvl 70 prot warrior i didn't even attack or shout the adds away i just let them attack me health went barley under 70% easy quest takes less than 5 min, it's an easy 12g + extra if you choose to vendor the quest reward

Comment by 62991

Ok, either this quest was bugged or they nerfed it severly. I just did it and the only thing i got were 2 Ambushers about 30-40 sec apart. No clue why this quest is flagged as group...

Comment by Gaghiel

Solo'd with 70 Prot pally, mix of greens, blues and epics. Just focused on the Scrapped Fel Reaver(JoL/SoW), using Holy Shield, Consecrate and a few engineering bombs I had laying around.

Comment by 59529

Not sure if this bugged...in 2 different ways. I'm finishing all the quests I didn't do, as a 70 Feral Druid with very poor gear - recently hit 70, have 27% crit...and I crit every single yellow attack on this mob - 19 out of 19. Has anyone else had this or did I just have the most insane crit streak ever? Also, mobs didn't spawn til 5%...whether that was bugged or just due to high dps I have no idea, but that was kinda insane O_o

Comment by 200701

Its not a group quest just do it alone

1. It dont makes any damage
2. You not 100% crit change

Comment by wingsofscion

Solo'd as a 70 resto shaman. Killed all the adds, too. Used both elementals in the process. Kept up earth shield after the first three adds, as well as Mana Spring (used Mana Tide once and one mana pot). When both elementals were down, kept max rank Magma Totem out as much as possible (by this time was OOM with pot on cooldown) until Earth ele was up (had used it during the You, Robot quest previously).

After a while the adds stop spawning. Made killing the Fel Reaver more than ezmode.

Comment by 122312

I got from 300 to 350 staves on this guy. :)

Comment by satelitko

I may have gotten extremely lucky, but i was dps-ing it with my 67 Hunter and the only thing that happened was an <something> Ambusher attacking me when i had the reaver down to 2%, so... Pretty easy to solo...

Comment by 169921

lol i soloed with my 68 shaman..yust keep attacking him and let the adds attack you with Maelstrom Weapon (a shaman talent (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=51528)) it was very easy

Comment by 232002

I dont hink the "wait for the adds" works anymore. i did what i was told and the result - the fel reaver torn all around the field with nothing to loot from.

Comment by 111811

Easily soloable for a 70 enhancement shaman (wearing mostly greens). Pull out the wolves and dps the fel reaver. Their healing will be more than enough to keep you at full health. If you aren't 70 yet you might want to pull out the elemental just to be safe. Too bad you won't want any of the rewards.

Comment by 78922

They must have nerfed this, or it bugged out. But i just went to try and solo it and only one add came!

Comment by 241029

The 5 minute "wait out the adds" tactic still works fine as of 11/6/08. Just completed, might not have even taken 5 minutes for adds to despawn

Comment by 80795

I just did this quest as a level 69 Retribution Paladin with 8k health and 4,5k mana and it was really easy. Just bring a mana potion and you will do just fine. Here is what I did:

Stay put on the felreaver all the time, spam Judgement of the Wise with Seal of the Crusader, Crusader Strike and Divine Storm. Start doing Consecration also when the first mob has come, you can occasionally use up the Art of War ability if you've got it but you will be fine without it also. When you have about 1k mana left, use the pot and just keep going the same way, the mobs will despawn when the fel reaver is down. I did this without popping the shield and I had about 60% health left when I got him down. You will crit at every hit as he is permanently sitting down.

Good luck and hope I was of any help. :)

Easily soloable as a 68 Shaman. Used Wolves to help attack Scrapped Fel Reaver. Very easy and fun!

Comment by Grindalwald

Soloable as an unholy dk. Tanked as many adds with minion for as long as i could, when it died i summoned another, all the while nuking the fel reaver. Ended up dieing and finished it off in zombie form, just barely. It was close, but doable at 67 with decent dps gear.

Comment by jbrown744

I just soloed as a 68 DK unholy speck with frost presence, all I did was attack the fel reaver and ignored the adds; also i had my pet on attack.

Comment by 177892

Arguably the easiest "hard" quest I've ever done.

69 DK, solo.

Just fought near the Fel Reaver so that every Pestilence I did to the Ambushers also afflicted the Reaver. Between waves of Ambushers hacked away at the Reaver. Since I'm mostly blood I finished all waves (and the quest itself) at 100% hp and 100% RP. Didn't even pop DRS or any of my other oh-s**t CD's.

Easy-sauce.

Comment by SirCheese

exploit still works in wrath

Comment by 151016

Easy as a DK (blood, mostly in quest greens,) just nuke away, spread Icy Touch to surrounding mobs, and use Death Strike to keep your health up.

Comment by Panjuel

Yup it works. Awesome that is indeed as I couldn't find any help....everyone is in Northrend. Yeah 5min it was, I just chilled by the quest giver and they went *poof*.

Comment by 278238

i solo that quest im a destruction warlock lvl68 its not hard at all i let my void tank the mobs & healin my void with that health funnel & i feared mobs there thats it ........................:Pp~

Comment by 277914

I soloed this easily as a 67 Blood DK. Just keep the adds on you, and death strike when you need to. You may also need to used Icebound Fortitude, though.

Comment by 287569

Soloed it as a level 67 frost mage.Just wait untill the adds stop coming and aoe them down.

Comment by 294941

warning do not try to go to hellfire and kill the reaver there! I spent 30 min looking for a group, didnt work so i (a 68 troll MM hunter) tryed to single handidly kite the reaver to trallamar. I made it unscaved (mostly casue it was like 10 feet away) but when the reaver died....IT WASN'T THE RIGHT ONE : (

so apparently the reaver is in netherstorm or wherever the quest is. it should be in sight of the quest giver.

Comment by 294941

sorry i made a mistake, the reaver is "dead" but all of the zaxis things mob u and try to kill you while u pry it open. so the group is for protection while u get the heart. sorry for confusions.

Comment by 273511

Easily soloed by my 67 Retardin. Just kept hitting the Fel Reaver and switching between Seal of Wisdom and Seal of Light as needed. I Occasionally healed myself with instant Flash of Lights and used Lay on Hands.

Comment by malchancock

Soloed this as as lvl 67 DK & taken NO damage what so ever just Zap & run back to the tent then wait for de spawn then just finish him off easy as pie quest

Comment by 146076

Just a quick post to say that the sit back and wait for adds to despawn method is STILL working as of Feb 17, 2009. I did it this way on another character shortly after TBC release and am amazed that it hasn't been fixed. The only challenge to this quest as it is is to see how much DPS you can put into the fel reaver before it dies.

For those that have not read previous posts the method is very easy:

1) Pick up the quest at The Heap (exact coordinates: 26.9, 77.0).
2) Use the quest item on the Fel Reaver corpse, as far away as you can.
3) High tail around and head back to the tent.
4) Wait roughly 3-5 minutes. Don't touch the Fel Reaver, don't touch the adds. Go make yourself a sandwich or something.

After a certain amount of time adds will despawn. I didn't time it exactly but it can't have been more than 5 minutes. The fel reaver will remain attackable

5) XXXX?
6) Profit.

Easymode. Again the only challenge about this quest is doing a Training Dummy-style DPS rotation to down his 50k-odd HP.

Comment by 318970

Just did that as a 70 combat rogue. I stealthed first to garrote. Then kept attacking it. Only two raiders showed up which wasn't tough. I had about half health when I was done, didn't use any pots, evasion, etc. The first time I did it I vanished when I realized I wasn't gonna win. Shouldn't be too tough to solo.

Comment by 39865

As an assasination rogue aftet trying to do it while killing the adds two times i just decides to hit it like crazy.Only one add came on me and it was over without any problems.

Comment by 322002

This is soloable with a 67 enhance Shaman.

Lay down all your totems first (the Ethereal will eventually kill them, but they serve a purpose for now), summon your wolves and beat on the Reaver for as long as you can. When the Ethereals show up, get your wolves to taunt them off you as often as you can. Don't bother killing them and just focus on the Reaver as they disappear when he's dead.

When your wolves expire, lay down a Stoneclaw Totem to taunt the Ethereals off you while you finish the Reaver off.

You might need to pop a health pot and if you're a herbalist/draenei, using Gift of the Naaru or Lifeblood will help you as well.

Comment by 348863

Very easy to solo as a frost dk. Just dont matter about the adds. When the number of the adds starts to grow use Icebound Fortitude. When the effect elapses use Hungering Cold and then use Unbreakable Armor after the adds "warm" up. After u kill it the adds should dissapear. I dinged when i finished this :D

Comment by LolliPawnZore

soloed it with my 67 DK bloood hehe :)

Comment by 387803

Soloed this as a lvl 67 hunter. Really easy, just dismiss your pet, activate the body, go in feign death, wait for about 5min for the fel reavers to despawn, once they are gone, call your pet and kill the the guy (again i think). He wont attack so its really easy

Comment by 343922

I did it alone with a Protection Warrior only Uncommon geared. I was level 67 and I finished save with 500hp with the help of a potion. Don't forget to use demoralizing shout, shield block, shield wall and last tance! After that it's pretty easy...

Comment by jprich

If you choose to follow the advice below ( fly up/run away ) it should be noted that this is a PERFECT opportunity to raise any weapon skills youve been neglecting. The fel reaver doesnt fight back. Equip a weapon you havent used in a while, right click, and go make a samich. ^_^

Comment by 202879

wow... this was such an easy quest, even considering I am a lvl 70 dps DK who has no special gear except what I have gotten by soloing purely.
Here is my method (similar to Runcade in Jan 07')... I activated the reaver and just beat away on him whilst ignoring all adds. I think I might have lost 1k in health during the entire fight. After the Reaver was "defeated" the adds de-spawned.

Comment by 425680

Soloed as a 68 prot warrior. escaped with 129 hp exactly i couldnt believe my luck.

Comment by 129453

As of August 27, 2009 the tactic of starting the event, then flying up into the air (on your mount, obviously), and waiting for the mob to spawn, then despawn (took about seven minutes) still works.

Also, it's been said in previous comments, but I'll say it again... This is a great way to get up any weapon skills you've been neglecting, since the Reaver doesn't cause any damange.

Soloable as a 67 Hunter. Soloable by anything, really... easy quest.

*Edit: Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with each other, but I first summoned him, then flew up onto the rock beside him, which had been suggested in a previous comment. Started loading him with arrows, and when get got to about 70%, the entire reaver disappeared?
Had to wait about ten minutes (did other quests in the mean time) before the Reaver showed up again.
That's when I tried the second tactic, as mentioned above.

Comment by 457201

LVL 67 Feral Druid Can solo it :D

Comment by mallor

Kiting works beautifully for 70 rogue.
Use shiv to slow down the ambushers, kite around the reaver and DPS it, pop evasion when 3-rd one spawns.
Easy, no exploits involved.

Comment by Grizlor

I soloed it as a 67 mutilate rogue in greens. I didn't cheese it by despawning the adds, I just tanked them while maintaining rupture/SND and using evis if they both had 8+ sec left.

Comment by DarkB1ade

just soloed this as a 67 blood dk as outland gear+3heirlooms stayed on a spot and hit him with all i got till he died only 2 ambushers spawned which disappeared as soon as i killed him took no more then 30 s

Comment by Skreenname

I solo'd this as a 68 Demonology Warlock (0/57/2).

Hiding with the quest giver still works.

Comment by knerf

Still soloable as of the latest patch by all classes and a flying mount helps.
1. use the zapper on the Fell Reaver
2. jump on your flying mount (or runs as fast as you can to a non-agro zone)
3. watch for about 4/5 minutes how the adds are running around untill they fade.
4. go down and start attacking...he doesnt fight back and just lies there.
5. when dead....collect and return :-) easyest 56K mob ever hehehehe...

Comment by MrScuba

Solo'd as a 67 DK!
Fight the adds the whole time and in between them land some hits on the fel reaver while keeping up DOTS or AOE.
Just keep using rune tap and death pact for health. Also be sure to keep death and decay up at all times so fel reaver takes damages as you fight adds!

GL!

Comment by M0HAX

Soled without flying as a 67 retri Paladin.
Just kill adds - reaver will die himself eventually from divine storm and seal of command.

Comment by 542362

Managed it solo as a lvl 67 Prot Paly.

I have Alchemy so was able to use Lifeblood.

Swapped by blessings between Sanctuary and Might to balance out Health and Mana and my seals between Light and Righteousness. Used one mana potion and Divine sheild.

Ignore the adds - they do damage you but bascially it's a race between how fast you can kill the Fel Reaver against how fast the adss can kill you. Nonetheless, it still took two minutes.

You just have to manage Mana v Health. Ended up with 100 hrealth and less than 100 mana. Finshed off with Hammer of Justice. Luckily as soon as the Fel Reaver is dead the adds vanish - immediately.

It was my 3rd attempt - died first two times until I got the hang of Mana v Health management.
.

Comment by stevied9366

Solo'd this as a 67 prot pally. Just kept Consecration up and used avengers shield and Hammer of the Righteous, in order to keep damage going all ways, though instead of retribution, i used devotion aura, sacrificing more damage to attackers for greater defense, I mean, the fel reaver wasnt attacking me, so it wasnt that great an aura for that situation.

Definately not that easy of a quest, would be easier with 2 people i suppose, but 3 would be too much IMO.

Comment by Etreum

Easily soloed as 68 Enhancement Shaman.

Stoneskin, Magma, Mana, Windfury totems

For the most part I ignored the addons. I just concentrated on blasting the reaver and healing.

Once in a while I'd do a fire nova.

Comment by Etchelamal

Just solo'd this as a level 67 shadow priest.
Ignore the adds completely and focus on killing the reaver. keep ALL your dots up, the healing that you get from it is what will keep you alive (though just barely)

Comment by 762478

As a Frost DK, I just solo'd this very easily. Only one of the adds was able to spawn before the Reaver died.

Comment by 715936

Solo 70 Frost DK. Some greens some blues.

Died once when I was 66, felt it was a hopeless quest and left - but had no idea of what to do. Second time at 70 I kited the mobs out to the quest giver for a little time between waves and hoping they'd end. But I finally had to kite them out of the area, backing out with death coil and icy touch hoping that they would eventually give up and go home. Yes I picked up another mob along the way by backing into him, but at least he wasn't multiplying.

It is ridiculously easy once you realize all you have to do is take out the fell reaver and avoid the mobs. Bring up your dead friend to take care of the first and second mobs while you are wailing on the reaver. Use absolutely everything you have to remove hit points. Maximize your diseases and cold strikes for added background benefit. Save hungering cold to freeze the mobs and give you a few more minutes leeway if you need it (my dead friend just stood and encouraged me to get on with it while the mobs looked at us furiously from their ice castles). Use icebound fortitude with death strike (still on the reaver) if they start to get through. Just focus on the reaver and keeping as much of your health as possible.

I did it with only three mobs coming out, and they hardly touched me. My dead friend was still there to clap as I handed in the heart.

Comment by 514782

i'm a idiot...i didn't realize i was supposed to attack the stupid reaver so i died fighting a bazillion ambushers...went back and did it properly and finished in a couple of minutes...duh

Comment by 715987

Soloed with a 67 Arcane Mage, easy as 1, 2, 3.
1 zap the rever back to life
2 run back to the tent where you got the quest and finally
3 watch the ads until they disappear, then finish off the rever.

Comment by peegee77

They must have nerfed this recently (4.1.0.14007) judging by the earlier comments because it is very easy.

Just soloed with a level 67 protection warrior wearing gear made from old coke tins - I like to wear rubbish gear to put back some of the challenge that has been removed :)

1 zap reaver back to life
2 keep whacking him and ignore adds
3 reaver dies

I only have 8965 health and when he died after about 30 seconds I was still above 50%. Only 2 adds turned up and they were not worth worrying about.

Comment by Dogbog56

All you have to do is activate the Fel R
eaver then fly up wait for the zaxxis adds to circle around, maybe go kill a few others. When the adds have disappeared just go attack the Fel Reaver until dead then take the heart. No fight, no damage, no dying, and you've soloed it!

Comment by charlespdk

Soloed this quest today as a PVE Survival hunter. I had my wolf focus on attacking the reaver while I strafed a circle around the reaver attacking as well. When I acquired too many mobs, I just feigned death and let them gather on my pet then resumed attacking the reaver gathering more add ons. Once the reaver is destroyed the attackers disappear and you just loot the reaver. Very easy.

Comment by 866966

totally solo'd this as a level 70 marksmanship hunter. just took out a tanking pet and let him take all the damage and it the reaver body with chimera shot, steady shot, and arcane shot. just lay a freeze trap in front of you in case you forget to move around and away fom the little mobs that show up.

Comment by 892070

Solo'd this tonight with a 67 boomy, full boa. just focus on burning the felreaver while keeping away from the adds or burning them down with dots

Comment by Whoisthiscook

VERY EASILY SOLOABLE as an Arcane Mage. Just pop a trink if you have one, Troll Racial if you happen to be one, Mirror Image and start nuking the reaver with Arcane Blast ;). I only encountered 1 mob, and that had only time to hit me once.

Comment by TimeTraveler

Quest is bugged today, at least for me. Can target (red auro) but cannot use the zapper, says no target. However, can hit it with spells and melee as it is red. No ads showed up at the party and after a small amount of damage, it gave up his heart.

Comment by Maritas

I just did this on my 68 mage and lol yeap, you're still able to zap the reaver and run back to the tent - wait for the adds to despawn and it's all yours.

Easy as Pie. :)

Comment by 798967

Done as 67 prot pally, flying mount over the reaver while reading here. Flying Mount, took a few minutes for the adds to despawn, but still works.

Comment by rhiamom

Just thought I would confirm that this technique still works as of May 3, 2012.

Comment by 920520

I just completed this today as a very bad 68 DK in so-so gear. The first post on this is correct. I started the event, hopped on my flying mount and hung out with the quest giver until the adds despawned. After a few minutes, they will just fade away and then you can go in for the kill.

Trust me, if I can do it, so can you.

Comment by kalfeer

3 people? Really? Soloed as a 69 Monk and just beat the stuffing out of the adds while dpsing the reaver. Did not do anything special, or use any but standard monk abilities.

Comment by gameplayer13905

This was a pretty easy quest. I started by shocking, then attacking the fel reaver. Felt good since I've always been afraid of the huge one in Hellfire Peninsula. After a bit, an add will appear. Kill it, then attack the fel reaver again. Another one appears. Kill it and go back to the fel reaver. Towards the end there will be four or more and they'll keep coming. I decided to go for broke and just focused on the fel reaver. Once he was killed, they all disappeared

Comment by Aerynsun8449

Ok not sure if this was a bug or what, but as of 9/8/2014, I tried this as a Survival hunter, I zapped him, hit my flying mount, about 5 or 6 adds came at once and ran around looking for me. About 5 minutes later they despawned, but the rever never got up, never got back together, just laid there same as when I got the quest. Just for giggles, I selected him and shot an arrow at him, he took a hit. I kept it up, he said a few things, never got up, never fought back. I killed him easily and got the heart.

Comment by whecks

The fel reaver doesn't move. Just kill it laying there.

Probably obvious for some but it I'm a bit slow. Must have killed a dozen mobs waiting for him to get up and start the fight.

~~Does this quest have any prerequisites?~~

It appears that the only prerequisite for this quest is a level requirement.

Comment by mesugo

Confirmed that the tactic of zapping the reaver than flying/running out of range still works as of patch 7.3.5. Takes 3-5 minutes for the ethereals to despawn, but once they do you can attack and kill the fel reaver with no adds!

Comment by jinva99

As a protection Paladin, just start the quest, kill everything that attacks, then attack and kill the reaver. Takes a while, there are about 4 waves of enemies that attack, but they don't hit too hard for a prot pally, or a guardian druid or a blood death knight I would assume.

	Heart of the Fel Reaver (1)
	Fel Zapper (Provided) (1)

Description

You see that scrapped fel reaver over there to the south? Isn't it a thing of beauty?

I want its heart!

What? Yes, of course it has a heart... what doesn't?

<N. D. looks indignant for a moment.>

Go on over there, pry it open, bring back what I want and I'll give you a nice finder's fee in return.

Oh, and I'd take a friend or two along if I were you. These Zaxxis ethereals are a pretty mean bunch!

Take this fel zapper to jumpstart its heart when you're ready to begin.
