The flame is picked up on the north side of the Crystal Hall

Comment by 86842

Quite difficult to get there I must say, because it's not outside of the city like Darnassus's flame for example, means you'll get pvp as soon as you get within city borders.
Hah I must say I managed to finish it only thanks to gnome there who pollied me once my hp went low and was cheering on me all my way down there :)

I can't loot this flame, everytime i try i get hit for 11 damage (Cleansing Flame).
is there something I'm missing?

Comment by 129192

I looted Exodar's Flame, and I have accepted the quest, after that I logged off and when I loged back in my flame dissapeared, do I have to steal it again?

EDIT: I found out you don't need the item in inventory, but it's weird though :D

Comment by noz3r0

When I went to steal the flame I didn't notice a "!" above it. Found out that after you right click it the you get burned and the Flame of The Exodar appears in your inventory.

Its not all that hard to get there, i took no more than 100 damage on my way there, much easier then stormwind imo. But when i got there i had to kill this one guard that was still on me, so i attacked him and the vendor attacked, i easily killed the guard an figuered the vendor wouldn't be a problem. And she wasn't, that is until i got her to 1%, she wouldn't die. A word of warning dont aggro the vendors.

it is in crystal hall 41.7, 25.0

Comment by 167030

41.7, 25.0 is indeed right;
this is so easy, i did it and did not even get hurt. so much for droping all my gear at the bank, now i look like super cow, (picked up a red cape and my old scarlet crusade tabard)

I've honstly never seen this many hords at Exodar on Magtheridon before. That Draenei got quite overrolled haha.

Comment by 261899

Both my trips to Azuremyst during this process I was riding over and back with two or more other hordies and was always meeting one at the docks coming out. No PC defense. Just took out the two in the tunnels and then mounted and rode straight at it (Priest for the record)

Exodar flame is NOT repeatable if you had gotten it last year.

Comment by spoonness

Stole the flame and almost got away with it. Unfortunately a shaman and a druid decided to ruin my fun :(

Comment by anjellyx

Flame still located in the Crystal Hall at 41, 24. Tends to be a little bit of a pain since this is the one city we're unable to fly in. :(

Comment by 837755

a little warning as a hunter I snuck in with camo but when I was hugging the wall and was passing the bank the guards inside saw me thru the wall and started to shoot me and evetually had 10 guards on me D:

Comment by zanthlion

The flame is still in the same place. Short of stealthing or getting a group together though, I have no idea how you'd get to it as a Horde member. I got to it on my druid and quickly stealthed and hearthed when I was a safe distance away. All the alliance players were busy trying to catch torched, lol.

Comment by 362388

As a Horde, I find the best way to get in (short of a stealthing class), is to take the side-entrance near the boat dock which leads straight down into the middle of the vault of lights... the guards in the middle of Exodar are fairly light and out-runnable... then take the connecting path between the Vault of Lights and Crystal Hall, you should be able to get to the flame before the guards catch up with you... once I got the flame, I was able to fight of a few guards, then remount and exit the same way I came in... did this as a Goblin DK and didn't die (as of patch 4.1).

Comment by 666108

can do on a 70 even though 85 guards...take side entrance, probably die in the cross between the crystal hall and side room but can just res in corner and no aggro from anything

Comment by akatnel

Question: How do I get a Horde character to Exodar now, since Cataclysm? I used to take the boat from Darkshore, but that area was destroyed. I know there's a portal inside the Temple in Darnassus now, does that work for Horde too?

Thanks!

Comment by 355546

This one was rather easy despite the fact you can't fly.

I came up on the boat and I took the path that was closest to the water which lead to the Vault of Lights. If you just keep running and avoid as many guards as possible, you should reach the flame before you die. The other option is the main gate which takes you to the Seat of the Naaru then you have to get down to the ground floor and run to the right.

Comment by 838670

These quests are total cakewalks for us crafty rogues ;)

Comment by rjwow

I first tried this coming through the side door entrance (next to the boat) as suggested above. I died a few times, got twisted around in my navigation because of the spiral ramp, probably ended up on the wrong floor, and was finally almost there when a server error caused me to be un-resurrectable at the point of death.

After a GM Rez'ed me at the graveyard (and I explained why I was disappointed by that) I tried going through the front door. It took me one death to get in, and one more death on the inside before I got to the flame. I was actually able to stand on the flame, claim it, get halfway through my hearthstone casting and then change to org teleport and got all the way through that without getting tagged by anything.

If I had used my spells properly I wouldn't have died on the way in. If I hadn't done this run naked (at lvl 80) I probably wouldn't have died at all. I'm just a squishy mage.

Go through the front door and announce your presence with authority.

Comment by 656835

Just tried to steal Thunder Bluff's flame on my Alliance druid and was unable to get anything. Also tried on my Alliance mage, still unable to get anything. My druid did this last year no problem, but my mage has never had done this quest, so I'm not sure if it's bugged or what. Anyone else having a problem with the opposing faction's capital city flames?

Comment by Farzeer

I used the "side" entrance that takes you to vault of lights on my 85 shaman. I mounted and just before the guards at the bottom of the entrance attacked me, i jumped down to right. There's no guards there and you can pretty much just wait there until your health gets back up. There some level 60s in the middle area. Wait until most of them are on your left side (There'll still be that archaeology trainer on your right) and run through from the right side. After you get to the bottom of the stairs (MIDDLE STAIRS, on both right and left side there's some 85s that'll aggro you) to seat of the Naaru, it's pretty much all about speed and health. There'll be like 10-20 level 85 guards attacking you when you get to the flame. I used 100% speed ground mount and i only have 96k HP. The guards hit for about 5k damage. I got the flame on my first try but i only had about 10k health left when i got it (I had armor on and i didn't use any healing spells).

If you're shaman and you have less health than me, then you're better off using spiritwalker's grace and spam greater healing wave when you are low on health. Possibly even cast healing rain right next to the flame.

If you die right next to the flame without getting it, you can just walk back there and res. There's one problem tho. There's a patrol of 2 level 85 guards walking near the flame. If you're fast enough, you can just res right next to the flame and instantly click it and die again. But if you're not, then you're better off waiting for them to walk their patrolling area so you know exactly where they are.

Comment by issarobinson

For hunters, use Charred Glyph to give you stealth while moving in Camouflage. I walked right through Exodar, no problem. :)

Comment by 1034144

Taken after a few deaths. Rode in the side door, but at the bottom of the crystal spiral pathway, I could not jump to the side and sneak around the right, so I just went straight for the middle doorway with the Fire Festival garland on it. Surprising how little harrassment there is unless you are really stupid and brash, which I was.

Went to the Seat of the Naaru, and when on my third res I took the flame, NO NPC stopped me.
It helps, of course, when your server is nigh empty, and there is nobody at the time you are online.

Comment by moonglum

Off the boat then in to the woods, skirt round the Exodar until you see the gap in the wall. Mount up and go for it, jump small wall and left in to main entrance. Keep going until you lose your mount, right at end of ramp, down next ramp stay right and the bonfire is straight ahead. By this time I had about 6 guards on me with my minion taking most the damage. Spam blood boil and summon army of the dead & gargoyle to keep the guards occupied go to other side of bonfire complete quest & hearthstone out. Lvl 90 unholy DK blood presence all blue armour, scroll of protection & strenght.

Comment by Madr

If you are Horde and need to steal the Exodar's flame, here's a way to get there.

You need a flying mount, ideally with 310% master flying ability. There is a Fatigue zone off the northwest coast of Kalimdor, between the mainland and the Alliance islands. You need to fly between the shortest land points to avoid dying of fatigue. This means flying yourself to Teldrassil, then taking a boat to Azuremyst Island where the Exodar is located.

If you'd like to take a taxi from Orgrimmar so you can be on autopilot across the continent, take the taxi to the Whisperwind Grove flight point in Felwood. Then fly yourself to Mist's Edge near Lor'Danel in Darkshore.

/way Darkshore 45 19 start
/way Teldrassil 52 89 dock

At the westernmost dock in Rut'Theran Village, get on the boat. The NPCs on the boat are not flagged for PvP.

Get off the boat at Azuremyst Island. You can't fly here. Walk off the dock and turn left, and you'll see the ramp down into the Exodar. Obviously stealth will help out if you have it.

/way Exodar 41 25 flame

Comment by Taraezor

Level 89 Tauren Shaman with 25,600 HP without gear which takes damage and I took the side entrance, mounted.

I got as far as 36.1, 37.4 which is not very far from the fire.

(One long corpse run. Quick sprint to the fire. click on it. Wait for completion. Hearth out. While hearthing, if you must, check your bags to ensure you automatically received the quest item. For peace of mind lol)

As soon as you get to the bottom of the ramp, take a sharp LEFT turn. You will have two max level "Peacekeepers" on you.

There will be a dip in the wall. GO straight through it, jumping down while running, and head straight for an arch way. There will be two more peacekeepers either side of a corridor. That's six in total.

Keep on a straight path. You will see the tent/bonfire ahead. If I can do it you can too!

By the way, I did several dry runs with an Alliance toon. Without having done that I would have been hopelessly lost.

(Other comments here explain how to actually get to The Exodar. Basically: must be via Teldrassil. You can safely use the Azuremyst Isle <-> Teldrassil boat. You get to Teldrassil by flying the shortest possible route from the mainland.)

Comment by Felet

Start by going to Whisperwind Grove, Felwood. Then mounting up, fly to Lor'danel and get on the boat to Rut'theran Village, Telldrasil.

Then move over to the other pier and get on the boat to Azuremyst Isle. You will end up at Valaar's Berth, no flying is allowed but mount up and enter the city via the southern entrence. During the decent, two lvl 110 guards will assult you, but wont dismount you. Keep going down the spiral until you end up on ground level in The Vault of Lights, take the short cut into The Crystal Hall and you will se the flame on your right side, at:

/way 41.7, 25.0

Once you have picked up the flame, keep running on the north side of The Seat of the Naruu until you reach the exit. The guards will only give chase for a few hundred yards, once outside you will be safe to mount up and fly back to the harbor. Take the boat back to Rut'theran Village, Telldrasil and then change boats to go to Stormwind for the next quest.

Level 110 Protection Paladin, all gear on.

Comment by MapleWarrior

This was a tough one. I had to escape using my Admiral's Compass! Thnx for all the pointers on this page.

Comment by Eromee

For those who haven't been to the Exodar since the Burning of Teldrassil, when you get to Darkshore have Zidormi take you back to the past. I flew to Teldrassil's foot, then took the portal (no more boats) to Azuremist Island. I used the side cave entrance and rode to the Crystal Hall and promptly died right next to the fire. As soon as the two hunters tire of watching my bones, I'll resurrect and grab the fire. Success?

Comment by Asheyy

I can't seem to get the quest, every time I loot the fire it just kills me and I don't get the quest, or quest item... Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

Edit: After contacting a GM we're just not supposed to be able to do these at a lower level, the event has been balanced around people who've finished the expansion the content was released in. So for players wishing to do the Exodar (or I assume Silvermoon) flames you need to be post level 80 (Finished the re-vamped scaling Burning Crusade) and have greater than 11,000 HP.

Comment by Siusha

as in 2022, you got to teldrasill flying from dark shore and right side dock has a portal to exodar. usable as horde to :-) oke some corps walking but you will get there :-)

Comment by tiamat55

patch 10.1

as a level 20 F2P, I was able to get to the bonfire easily enough. a few corpse runs to get to the bonfire. The problem is that when I tried to interact with the bonfire, it kills me (checked combat log) with 21,226 points of fire damage (my max health is points), killing me instantly and DOES NOT give me the quest start item. I've tried several times and same thing happens every time.

So, I guess that lowbies have no chance to complete this 'chevement...
