This is the first instance you can zone into at the Cavern of Times. It requires you to complete the quest "The Caverns of Time" to enter, which requires level 66.

How do you unlock Captain Sanders' chest on his 'pirate ship'? I have max lockpicking and a pair of Dark leather gloves and it's red.

Step 1: Blow up the interment camp.
One person needs to grab the explosives off the dragons at the beginning. Clear out the 5 lodges and then click the barrels inside. The first boss comes after you set them on fire so make sure you drink up and buff up before setting the last explosive. He is a warrior so melee DPS, watch for the whirlwind and run away (strafe, not back peddle) from it so you don't take a 2k hit. Priests, watch for the mortal strike and be ready on those shields if it brings your tank low on hp. If he fears and goes after a caster, drag him to your tank who will be immobilized.

Step 2: Rescue Thrall.
Go into the keep at the top of the hill and clear into the basement. Everyone turn in your first quest and take his second. Once you have buffed Thrall and everyone has his quest, talk to him again and start the escort. BEWARE, once you start Thrall doesn't stop. During each fight, casters, position yourselves between the mobs you are killing, and the ones you will be killing next and do NOT loot after the fight. Immediately start drinking when the last mob goes down. Melee, bandage up cause those casters aren't getting much of a break at all and need to drink. After about 4 waves, you will get to the gates and the next boss will come in. Enjoy your first break while he and Thrall chat, but its a short one. He comes with 2 adds that need to be killed first. The boss is a pally so watch for the stuns and heals.

Step 3: Go to Tarren Mill.
NOBODY TALK TO THRALL. Rebuff and heal and mana up before talking to Thrall. He will hop on the horse and ride off to Tarren Mill. He will first stop in the barn, then the chapel and finnaly the inn. You will have to fight a wave of mobs at each place. Remember, Thrall doesn't like to stop so casters again position yourselves between the stuff you are fighting and where you are heading so you can drink and not have nearly as far to run. Once you clear the inn, you will find Taretha. Again, NOBODY TALK TO THRALL OR TARETHA until you are all buffed, healed, and full mana. Talk to Taretha and start the final event

Step 4: The Infinity Dragon Flight.
Run back outside and in front of the chapel. You will have 3 waves of dragonkin and then the last boss. The first wave has 2 melee and 1 caster dragonkin. They come from in front of the chapel. The next wave will come from the left (facing away from the chapel). This will be an identical wave. Once the last one dies, you will get a wave of 4 from where the first wave spawned (3 melee and 1 caster). The Melee will mortal strike so priests, have those shields ready for when they get MSed. THe casters will cast corruption, shadow bolt, and a curse that increases damage taken. Druids and Mages need to decurse that ASAP. Hunters, you will want to be proactive in your traps to get one that is incoming. Go to where the mobs will be coming from and drop the trap before that wave even spawns. Priests, drop shields on your tanks just before the last thing dies in that wave. You will have little time to drink between these waves. Druids, you will most likely want to hibernate the caster mobs. Also if you aren't tanking, you need to go back by the chapel steps between waves. And finaly, fear is your friend here. Priests/Locks, you AE fear will be really nice when your tank is trying to pick up those 3 melee on the last wave. Do them a favor and fear them off so you can get a chance to get them under control.

The boss is also kinda tough. He has Garr's anti magic pulse that will eat your buffs, he has an Dot that deals shadow damage. He has a knock back so tank him up against a wall. And finally, like all dragons, he has a breath weapon, but since you are tanking him against the wall, nobody but the tank should be getting hit. I would highly recomend a warrior or druid tank over a paladin. Pallies will suffer from their righteous fury constantly being dispelled and so they will have a harder time holding aggro.

We did this with a druid tank, rogue, hunter and 2 priest (1 shadow and the other Holy). Very easy boss, just healed through the curses. Straight tank and spank

When we first tried to clear the bottom we started on the left building, however the sapped mobs in the back ran around to the right and agro'd the next building over and we wiped.

We came back and cleared the buildings left to right and had no problems.

There are also 3-4 pats in the bottom area that are easy to clear but be careful to pull them to you and don't let them agro the building guards.

I was in a group earlier today where Thrall ran into the barn then the church but stopped in the Church and never moved on. We went and cleared all the guards but he never moved just stood in the church. Taretha was not in the Inn. I don't know if she spawns when he goes into the inn or what but we got bugged. Thanks blizz.
Submitted ticket.

There is lots and lots of lore to check out whenever you're done with the instance so make sure to go check it out, you can even see all the folks from Scarlet Monastery inside the Southshore Inn!

On heroic mode Lookouts spawn reinforcements. These mobs are not sheepable.

Interesting thing happened last night in Durnhold. We were getting ready to call the instance because most of us were exhausted and we were being sloppy. Our tank died, our healer died, our second mage died and everything went onto the Paladin. He bubbled me and ran back up towards the keep(we were on the bridge as you enter durnhold, having just finished burning the buildings)

I ran the other way to see if I could zone out. Now, I don't know Hillsbrad very well, having grown up on a PvP Server and avoiding it like the plague. So instead of running up to the Timeway, I wound up running past Kel'Thuzad. Now looking behind me I could see about 8-10 guardsmen closing on me. Couple wardens, some sentries...

So I went and jumped in the water and up onto the little boat right in front of Nat Pagle. I sat there waiting for death and suddenly <Leaving Combat> rolled over my head.

I lost aggro in the instance. lol.

Might be a useful trick for a rezzer non-MH to save from an aparent wipe.

Kommentar von koshi

If you head to "Old Southshore" at the docks you'll see Nat Pagle telling his fishing partner dreams that he has...those dreams are actual events that will take place in the future. 8)

HEROIC MODE:

It's not hard at all on heroic mode, just need some learning curves. There are 5 lookouts u need to burn down, and that place has 2 patrols (a wolf and a man patrolling around) once you pull them they will call 2 another adds making a total of 4 adds 3 human + 1 beast. The wolf is cc'able rest isn't. Just let ur tank get good aggro on all and nuke them 1 by 1 down. They respawn every 5 minutes or so, after u killed them make sure u burn 2-3 houses and then kill patrol again. Rinse and repeat till all houses are burned.

Boss comes, just make sure everyone stays max range, fearward/tremor totem on tank. Does mortal strike, whirlwind and aoe fear. Basically if u have a rogue tell him to move out fast on whirlwinds, make sure ur tank is topped all the time because the MS can kill him if he's low hp around 5k-6k. If the tank gets feared i'd suggest everyone to run as far as possible till tank gets unfeared and gets aggro.

This was the hard part of it, thrall event is pretty much the same but Thrall himself has around 100k hp now, let him do the tanking just make sure u kill the mages first they can easily 1 shot lowhp people. 2nd boss is easy pie, 450 consec aura, can dispel sheep on his party members. Just nuke the healer then the other add, then nuke the boss.

Last boss is pretty much the same, peridocally does mass dispel, just keep tank topped not hard.

Kommentar von 34863

For heroic, scatter pull doesn't work ( anymore ) and the first pat we tried to pull we got the group in the house aswell. So wait for both pats to move away and clear the first house first.

Concise Non-Heroic guide attempt from the perspective of a prot-spec Warrior.

Pull Difficulty 1/5: Note that I'm talking the difficulty of actually pulling the mobs to fight, NOT the mobs themselves. This instance neatly segregates all of the pulls for the first part of the instance, and then forcefeeds the rest to you via Thrall's event. It's pretty hard to foul up a pull here. The pats are obnoxious but there's almost nothing you can really do about them.

Mobs:

Tarren Mill/Durnholde:
Sentries - Two-hander swinging melee units. Hit for 450-750 a whack on plate. Become kittens when disarmed. Just keep them off cloth and you're gold.

Protectors: Annoying. Drops HoJ regularly, heals, hits. Adjust accordingly when your tank gets the hammer.

Riflemen: Holy Jesus I hate these bastards. Worst mob in the whole instance. Corral them into melee range or they'll perforate your whole party with multishot or scattershot your tank repeatedly. Oh yeah, they also sting, but that's not nearly as wipe-inducing as the damn scattershot. Cleanse cleanse cleanse.

Warden: Second worst enemy in the instance. Stun/kick/slam/silence these because they psychic scream and heal other units. They drop Power Word: Pain as well, but the psychic screams and heals are the real reason these need to go down first. Between scattershots from the riflemen and the screams here, it can be insanely frustrating to tank this place.

Veteran: Rogue or Fury Warrior type. Duel-wields and hits fast. I have no idea what class they're supposed to be since I don't recall them ever using any skills that I noticed. Nothing special.

Mages: Annoying but since mages telegraph all their spells like nothing else keeping them silenced/kicked/bashed/stunned is pretty simple. They also sheep, so watch for that.

Infinite Dragonflight Trash:
Slayer/Saboteur: Generic meleers. Same old same old. Keep off cloth, shield block, disarm, etc.

Infinite Defiler: Warlock, casts corruption, curses, etc. Dispell the curses and take these down ASAP while the tank keeps the melee tied up.

Bosses:

Drake: a souped up sentry. OG WoW players will find themselves screaming "BLADES OF LIGHT!" during this fight. He fears, uses Herod's trademark whirlwind, mortal strikes, etc. Hits harder than the sentries. If you're melee and not the tank, back off when the whirlwind starts. The fear is annoying, but the tank is rooted in place for it so drag drake back to him so he can reestablish aggro. Tank n' spank.

Skarloc: Souped up protector. Heals, hammers, cleanses, comes with 2 adds. Smoke the adds, then smoke Skarloc. Tank and spank all the way.

Epoch Hunter: A dragon, only without a fear and a pretty middling breath weapon that slows you down. To be honest I barely noticed this guy doing anything else. I just tanked and kept him turned away from the group and everything was just dandy.

Short Progression:
1. Grab explosives from NPC, fly to Durnholde
2. Do old-fashioned pulls to the pit, hop in.
3. Clear houses and plant explosives.
4. When the last one is planted, everything blows and Drake shows up. Mangle him.
5. Go back up to the castle, clear it, talk to thrall.
6. Chase after thrall while he barrels into several waves of mobs, swear profusely.
7. When you exit Durnholde, Skarloc shows up. Mangle him too.
8. Rebuff/drink/breathe. Chat up Thrall and follow him to Tarren Mill. Chat at Tarren Mill to start the last bit.
9. Again protect Thrall has he brings down an army on you in the barn, the church, and then the inn. Chat up the girl when you're good to go.
10. Go outside, kick over a few waves of Infinite Dragonflight, then show Epoch Hunter your extensive dragon slaying skills.
11. Fin!

Heroic Durnholde--Easy Mode Strat

If you've ever tried Heroic Durnholde, u know that it's a pain. Well, we figured out a super easy-mode strat today. Clear the couple of trash mobs on the way in.

Group composition:
1. Healer
2. Prot War
3. Mage
4. Mage
5. *Rogue (imp sap)

There are three pats that u need to mark with a symbol. One pat above, 2 pats below that go in front and behind the houses. The pat is a human and a dog. You can poly the dog, but the human cannot be CC'd. In addition, he summons two more adds that cannot be CC'd. If you trigger the pats, it = instant wipe.

This is what you do. The rogue has to carefully stealth around and set off all the bombs. When the houses burn, most of the trash mobs despawn. More importantly, the impossible pats despawn.

On the far left, there is one 4-pack trash mob you have to clear. Do it fast while the boss leaves. Now for the boss, he has a aoe cleave (9k whirlwind) and aoe fear. Tank tanks him from below, everyone else nukes from above. If there is another melee class, you're better off standing up top and tossing stuff at him.

Congrats, you saved yourself 2 hours trying to clear everything.

how do you open the locked chest by the coast at southshore i have max lpat lvl 70 and cant pick it?

Kommentar von 44465

Heroic Durnholde:

Prot Warrior
Resto Shaman
Shadow Priest
Mage
Hunter

*Patrols (Human + Dog) spawn every 10-12 minutes.
*Scattershot pull all patrols to prevent adds
*Beast tracking for all locations of patrols

First Half:
Jumping down into the empty open space; we allowed the pat coming from the left to pass by (this patrol spawns on the opposite end of the area; by the fifth building). The hunter scatter shot pulls the 2nd patrol (that enters the empty area) and mage sheeps the dog. Quickly clear the first and second buildings. Drag each pull into the empty space to kill (wardens fear and dispel) Waited for the patrol to respawn (which is in the entrance of the empty area, so hug the back wall). Nuked them in the same fashion. Nuked the other ground patrol. Cleared the third building. Ran up the path killed the 4-pull. Depending on the timer for the first patrol either waited for the pat or took out the fourth building. Cleared the fifth building and killed the patrol that respawned in the area. Mana'd up and took out the boss (stayed at max range; tremor totem; tank + spank). Took us 30 minutes tops.

Second Half:
Thrall has 100k ish health. Let him tank. Mages need to die asap; their polymorphs were a pain. Wardens were cc'd or nuked; they heal and fear and dispel...

And then my healer dc'd and never came back.. so to be continued?

Kommentar von 46772

On Heroic mode today, after my group killed 2nd boss, thrall stop and and we cant get him mountup , i try to agro 4 mob to thrall to get him killed, but when he at 1% he stop lose his hp and he not dead... so he killed all the mobs and still stay there like nothing happens, and we have to port back to sharath. It's happen before for anyone?

Kommentar von 13727

For heroic, if you have a rogue. Have him/her stealth into the houses, sap 1 (distract other if needed) and plant bombs. Mark every pat there is.

Having LoS does not get you agro'd from the mobs at the doors of the houses when planting bombs. You can plant when the mob inside the house is at the opposite end, make sure they are distracted.

When all of the houses are burning, the boss will spawn. You can pull him when you are standing at the bridge (not on it), and he will not agro mobs when he runs to you.

Kommentar von 35427

So since you need all this distract stuff, I assume a druid isn't able to do it?
Havent really been in there yet, but it sure would be nice if I myself could place the bombs.

Kommentar von 63715

I've noticed that Durnholde gives more than 902 rep. Even though we skip the mobs to the sides of the entrance to Durnholde, and the mobs near the tower to the right of the building Thrall is in, I got 902 rep.

Not to mention, if you don't talk to Thrall after you get to Tarren Mill, you can kill another 5 mobs. Just run past the farm and you can see 2 mobs together, and another 3 patting by them.

That's another 40 rep. 4 from the both sides of the Durnholde entrance, another 32 rep. 4 at the tower next to the main keep building...another 32. So actually, just taking an extra 6-10 minutes on the run, another 106 rep could be gained, making grinding that much easier.

Also, if your guild is REALLY cool (not saying mine is, they won't run with me, lol), and you know you can do the instance without wiping, you can intentionally let Thrall die on the second boss twice, each time pulling the same 4 pulls 2 extra times. 256 extra rep, but more time consuming.

Add it all up, you can get a maximum of 1264 rep from Durnholde, and with a better success rate than BM (which requires a specific setup as well as all 70s), that makes it WAY better for grinding, and more than likely assures that all the boss drops get DE'd for shards. Booyah. Shards go for almost 20g a piece, so...

on normal this instance is cake easy, managed to kill the first five on my own, (using trap ect) but i find it fun

As said before, for the Heroic groups, it is possible for a 70 rogue with Master of Deception Rank 5 to blow up the buildings by themselves, saving the group time and pain if fighting multitude of enemies.

To rogues attempting this: watch out for patrols with dogs as the dogs have stealth detection and getting within 30 yards of one will mean your death.

If the barrel of explosives if closer to the back entrance of the building, then sap the single mob guarding it (the door) while the mob that patrols inside is walking away, apply the bomb, then go back into stealth, unless the sap breaks or the pat sees you, you don't have to waste vanish.

If the barrel is at the front where two mobs are guarding the door, sap the mob that is in line of sight of the barrel, while the pat is walking away. If you do this correctly the other guard wont see you as you will stay outside line of sight.

Kommentar von 76799

Yea this is my new hated mission of all time. Our little monkey was nowhere close to getting smoked 3 times and when he died in the village he never appeared again. Good for us I guess. I love wasting so much time getting this done only to have everything bug up on us. Good times. It really is too bad you need this for BM or I would say don't touch this mission if you want to keep enjoying the game, cause my opinion of the company based on the moronic idea of some dev that needs to be smacked back into the real world went down a few notches. Avoid this mission unless you need BM and/or Kara.

This is useful and useless at the same time for the rogue class..Only two things worth while dropping lie in here for rogues

Cloak of Impulsiveness

Broxigar's Ring of Valor (For all the PvP buffs saving resilience gear for PvP @ 70)

and Karazhan attunement

The cloak is very worth it imo. because I used the cloak until I got the Sergant's Cloak in PvP, but the cloak will last you.

Kommentar von atomicvampire

I tanked this as a 68 prot paladin and had no issues with the last fight, despite having to recast Righteous Fury. It was actually really easy, since I could prepare for each wave with a Consecrate and Avenger's Shield.

For the first wave, target the caster (the one in the middle) as soon as they walk out, and after they change forms, wait a few seconds and drop a Consecrate. The two melees will start to run off, but the Consecrate should bring them back to you.

On the second and third waves, get in position and start spamming your tab key. As soon as you get one targeted, cast Avenger's Shield. If you have an AoE fear in the group, go ahead and use it on the melees after the AS so that they're not beating on your back as you run to get the caster.

For Epoch Hunter, I just pulled him off of Thrall and backed up against the house across from the inn. After that, it was cake. Just spam SoR/JoR, Consecrate, and Holy Shield, and recast Righteous Fury if it gets dispelled. He was actually easier to manage than the three waves of dragonkin.

As of 5th March 2007 a level 63 cannot start a summon from the CoT summoning stone, but CAN assist in summoning.

I found this useful with my alt engineer, getting the group there faster.

Now with Patch 2.4, you will no longer encounter any patrolling Durnholde Lookout mobs that spawn Durnholde Reinforcements. The pulls there will be the same as it is on normal mode.

Kommentar von Huntermaster

Note that you must be level 66 to go in, as you must do the prequest, which requires you to be 66 before you can enter the instance.

Kommentar von 136440

I know the page says that the minimum level requirement for entry is level 66, but what is the actual level that most people can reasonably run this place without much suffering? Based on level, that is.

Kommentar von 33776

It's so much easier without the patrols spawning extra adds. Just did the whole thing with a tankadin tanking everything; she even pulled two groups at one point and we were fine. Our mage did die a lot, though... the NPCs on heroic aren't very forgiving if you pull aggro.

Kommentar von 98899

If you feel like exploring the place, you can easily do it without a group. Just go in the instance like normal, but don't go near Tarren Mill or Durnholde keep or the guards will chase you for an eternity.

You can explore all of the Hillsbrad Foothills zone, and when you get to the zone borders there will be either an invisible barrier or physical wall to block you getting further.

There are many little easter eggs around this place, some mentioned earlier in this page, such as:

Kel Thuzad: past present
Tirion Fordring: past present
Zixil: past present
Phin Odelic: past present
Frances Lin: past present
Chef Jessen: past present
Barkeep Kelly: past present

I found something... a little strange when going into Old Hillsbrad on my Tauren Druid, after listeing to all of the people talking i decided to see how far i could swim out, so of course i went into seal form and began to swim after awhile i got bored so i used my hearthstone (while still in seal form mind you) and to my suprise i lost the Disgused as a Human buff that you normaly have in OH, shocked i cancled the hearth and ran back to Southshore to see if i was still friendly with the NPCs there and truth be told i was... fairly odd and im not sure if it can be done all the time or if that was a glitch however if your a druid you should try it out, sure it doesn't really do anything but hey it's another thing to try out if your bored one day...

Down in Southshore the horses there popped up on my map when I was tracking humans. I went over to them and sure enough, the tooltip said humanoids.

Not sure if it was a bug, but as I went towards the outer walls in Old Hillsbrad to see how far the zone would go my screen would turn grey with a very thick fog. All I could see was the color of name plates and the glow on my blades. Made travel very tough.

As im sure most of you know most of the lore in southshore but one thing there rly caught my attention, i don't know if anyone has noticed this but if you go inside the inn you see magic brooms cleaning the place, only blood elves that i know of posses this spell as in SMC so how could a place set back 7 years have blood elf magic??? If anyone knows how the brooms got there i'd be interested and mabe a blood elf lived there long ago i don't know pretty interesting i thought.

Worth to mention, if you have a debuff from the ultrasafe transporter: Toshly's station , Like i had , the blood elf female form currently, and my characters real gender was male, I stayed as a female human during the run.

A neat little bug for Moonkin I found: Take a dose of Noggenfogger Elixir and when you get the skelly buff, take another until you get it again (only way you will notice is you turn into your human form), at which point you will be able to shift into Moonkin form but still look human.

I was a 43 rogue and i saw don carlos and i asked myself why blizzard would have 63 in Tanaris right by the graveyard? I never noticed Don Carlos in hillsbrad till i ran it the fifth time and it hit me. So go back to him in Tanaris and pick up the quest for his hat :D

Stupidest instance I've done. And here's why...

Every time I've tried to do it, people try to rush through it and get mad when you try to figure out what you need to do to complete the quest given along with it. I think this is because people are impatient, they want the reputation, and the instance is rather short. So they rush rush rush.

In itself, the instance is rather cool, but people can take the fun out of it.

So my advice is, unless you're doing this with friends (recommended if you want to enjoy it the first time), figure out what you need to do before going into this, otherwise it's very easy to miss the quest AND have a bunch of losers whining at you. I'm posting this because it keeps happening. Seriously :P

Soloed normal mode as a level 80 Ret Pally. In T7/T7.5 gear, mostly epic'd out. The fights were trivial at best. So if you're looking to solo this place for rep and/or achievement, it isn't too hard.

Kommentar von 194739

I'm doing this for my Elixir Mastery quest (and trust me, I'm not happy about it). Since the 3.1 patch this week, alot of things have gone bonkers. Most of the week you couldn't even run most instances without getting stuck or lagged out, etc. So, finally we're able to run a few things pretty easily and we decide to hit this and get it out of the way. Everything goes wonderfully until we (with Thrall) get to the barn. We clear the barn, he runs out and we follow... but he poofs into nothingness.

The awesome write-ups here told us where he was headed, but he just didn't exist anymore. We continued to the Chapel...nothing. Inn, nothing... the girl (his friend we're supposed to "rescue") wasn't at the Inn either. We killed everything we could find, hoping he'd repop... but nope. After about half an hour of scratching our heads, we chalked it up to Patch bugs and logged. We'll probably abandon and try to pick it up again tomorrow... Now I'm wishing I would have done this a long time ago... patch weeks are *not* the time to be doing this crap.

Using Thrall as a tank on Trash mobs and Water Elemental and Mirror Images as tanks on bosses proved to be quite useful. The only boss that was actually hard was Epoch hunter.
This Instance should be alot easier for other classes since i suck at Tanking and i can't Heal.
Hope this information is useful to someone.

Can you even get to Ravenholme from this instance? I'm curious on the little easter eggs that could be hidden within the Ravenholme area.

I think it may be the grey fog area but I'm still curious.

I wish there was a mailbox so I could send myself some gold while leveling xD.

Kommentar von 405534

im not sure if anyone has posted on this or not, but i find this place to be a massive money maker, at least for a casual player who needs some fast gold and hates dailies, im an 80DK, naxx25-uld 25 geared, i dont AOE pull the place and takes me about 25 mins to do single pull at a time, if you clear it all, i make about 50g in coin, and another 75-100g in vendor per run(vendor everything) and i pay about4g in repairs as plate lol, i am enchanting so im not sure if D/Eing stuff would increase profit, but the way im doing is fine, so do 2 runs an hour, that equals me making 150g-250g(on regular lol, not sure about heroic) in one hour of grinding

also im guessing if you did pull faster and aoe pull without dieing its only like a 15 mins run

hard to believe this is the past of a place that's now full of lvl 20ish weakies...

Using eagle eye shows up some interesting bits. Far north there are fishes swimming in mid-air.

I managed to solo the dungeon on heroic mode as an 80 ret paladin. I had around 20k hp, 4500 AP self-buffed, and epics lvl 200-226 ish, with Greatness Card and a few other tidbits.

Start with clearing the huts and setting the bombs, easy enough, but make sure you CC and watch the healer mobs in each hut. Lieutenant Drake is a bit tough as he pumps out a lot of damage, so don't be afraid to use Divine Shield and LoH.

After you've released Thrall, you will throughout the rest of the dungeon be facing packs of 3-4 mobs. The general trick is to let Thrall tank, and then pick them off him one by one. As soon as you do any damage to a mob, they'll go for you instead of Thrall, so be careful with AE.

Captain Skarloc is quite easy, but use the same trick as before, let Thrall tank and pick off the two adds he has with him one by one.

Epoch Hunter was a fairly easy, he doesn't do much damage and doesn't have any special tricks to be aware of.

I can't believe no one has posted this but if you go into south shores inn you can see a cut scene of high commander morgraine about ashbringer.A must watch for any lore fan.

Kommentar von McDeath

Easily soloed as a level 76 Retadin.. good fun as well!

Kommentar von KnownReason

I was able to solo this as a 78 Blood DK with not to much effort. The most difficult part is keeping the mobs off of Thrall during the last boss fight.

Kommentar von Flenop

This instance becomes 'available' to a character at level 64 via LFD, but you still must first do the quest to enter, which still requires 66.

Kommentar von 327545

I just wanna let you know that this dungeon is solo able at lvl 80 for those of who need the achievement, want to grind rep for keepers of time or just missed doing this awesome instance during bc times. I soloed this is a prot pally on normal mode (not sure if this is possible on heroic as i am not yet honored with keepers of time). Warriors, dks, and druids should also have no problem with this. Other classes might want to bring at least one other friend. Also, quests having to do with this dungeon do count towards loremaster of kalimdor.

Kommentar von darom

theres a great scene concerning ashbringer in the southshore inn for u lore junkies :)

Kommentar von JGPenfield

There is a round tower beyond the keep where Thrall is imprisoned. It is guarded by 4 guards. The door is locked and you can't get in. But once while I was fighting the guards the door opened and then shut before I could enter it. I tried over and over to get it to open again but no such luck. Has this happened to anyone else? Has anyone ever entered this tower? If so what is in it?

Kommentar von 140744

This dungeon will show up in your dungeon finder beginning at level 64, however you will be unable to access it through the dungeon finder until you complete the prerequisite quest.

As the quest requires level 66, you will be unable to queue for this dungeon until level 66.

Kommentar von 545583

Just ran through on Heroic.. counted 2,286 rep for a full run (killing all the extra mobs I could find as well that normally get skipped in a regular group).

Kommentar von 383139

Easily Solo'able as a lvl 80 ret paladin with poor gear (GS3800ish). Just be sure to:

Keep Righteous Fury and Consecration up to keep the trash off of Thrall.

Use Seal of Wisdom and Divine Plea to keep your mana up.

Use Sacred Shield and Judgement of Light to stay alive.

If you do all that you should take very little damage and keep Thrall alive.

Kommentar von suzies

Is Old Hillsbrad soloable with a 72 DK? Just thought I'd check as PUG's can be so frustrating.

Kommentar von 491037

Easily soloable on Normal at Level 80. (shadowpriest 5.6k GS)
I timed it, it's about 25 minutes per run, and netted me almost exactly 900 rep. That's killing the main mobs on a normal route and not going walkabouts.

It would be hard to shave much more time off it than that because you have to wait for so much roleplay... maybe at a STRETCH you could get to 2,500 Rep in 1 hour

Compare this to Black Morass which gives you exactly 1100 rep at an 18 min run... again hard to be quicker since you have to wait for the extra 2 minutes after you kill the bosses at waves 6 and 12.
End boss on Black morass was marginally harder, but neither instance would be considered difficult at my level and gearing.

TLDR: KoT solo rep grind is quicker in Black Morass Normal than Old Hills Normal

Kommentar von 559602

It would be cool if you could get to Purgation Isle.

Kommentar von deathsilence

Do yourself a favor and kill everything on the way into Durnholde before escorting Thrall, otherwise you'll encounter double the mobs and possibly glitches galore

Kommentar von Thottbot

I tried to open it with max lockpicking and Dark Leather gloves. Still red. According to what Captain Sanders says:

One white shirt fit fer a Pirate king to be wearin'!
One red sash that ye can put on yer head or yer britches...
...one enormous bag! Big enough to fit eight whole apples!

Sounds like it's just a cute history of the Captain Sanders quest chain in Westfall, where you actually get this stuff.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Been there, saved Thrall, then headed to the Southshore Inn.
The two pirates are indeed there, completely pissed. After a while (5min?) they go outside near the water, towards two little rowboats. The second rowboat has a little (locked) chest on (which shows the cog wheels icon).

The two pirates remain friendly the whole timeand cannot be pickpocketed (invalid target)
The chest cannot be lockpicked it seems
A large seaforium charge does not work either

we have tried a rather large number of emotes on the pirates but with no results.
Also bought some booze from the barman to get pissed to but that didnt help either.

Dunno. Maybe is it for heroic only?
or maybe there is an enchant to increase lockpicking?

Blizzard has put quite some effort in this, the dialogues are good fun, i can't imagine there isn't a way to open that chest.

Btw, while you're at the Inn, check the mobs around the fire.. You'll find the whole Scarlet Monastery Clan (Morgraine, Doan, Fairbanks...) and even little Herod *the bully* running outside.

Thanks Blizz, that was good fun.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Pretty fun and easy. It went pretty quick too. The hardest part is the second boss I think. We did it with

70 Hunter
67-68 Hunter (Me, lvled half way though)
70 Pally
70 Pally
66 Mage

The tough part is that the last two bosses will make you go through a few mobs before the boss itself, but you are given a bit of time to drink and eat up. It would be easier with a real tank and preist, but it was still easy for us.

Fun stuff! Can't wait to do Black Morass later!

Kommentar von Thottbot

MC or kill Wardens first as they fear and heal, riflemen have scatter shot and the others are melee guys. Head down first to the encampment kill patrols then guards, I think there are wardens inside so careful..after you clear the internment area...last bomb set and boss comes down the stairs leading down. Head up to the keep and Guy your looking for is downstairs. He runs to the armory and then out the fonr door. Tough to keep up 4 mobs of 4...mages in the groups go down first unless there is a warden. Front door of keep = boss 2 along with a warden. They both heal. Then to Tarren Mill..you have 3 chances to do this. Like they said above..take those defilers down first and any shadow resist stuff you have should be used. Havent killed the last boss yet

Kommentar von Thottbot

when the horde enters the instance then will be in disguise ... tauren become human and so do the rest of the horde .. I am not aware of the dreaneis og the bloodelf ... but I do think they just get a human ddisguise as well

Kommentar von Thottbot

All horde races become human. However, at some point during the instance, our troll reverted to troll after her deviate pirate disguise wore off, so we haven't quite figured out how that happened. The rest of us changed back into our human disguises. Might've been a bug but regardless everyone gets a human disguise.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm wanting to grind my way to exalted with Keepers of Time and I'm wondering whether it'd be faster to run this or BM? While BM is obviously a bit quicker to do, it only gives 1.3k rep per run or so. Also, the wipe factor is much lower running this than BM.

Anyone know about how much rep you get per run from Old Hillsbrad?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Another Funny thing I believe you missed below me, is that Herod the Bully is randomly strolling around, Herod the Bully = Herod from SM

Kommentar von Thottbot

This was a challenge on heroic mode, but we were able to rather easily defeat the pats so I'll share the knowledge with you guys. We never finished because two people had to go, and we called it a night.

What happens is that the lookouts - the pats w/ the wolf pets - do a yell "Sound the alarm!", which will aggro all nearby mobs as well as summon two "reinforcements".

We had a priest on heals, lock/mage/shammy on DPS, and a pally (me) tanking.

FIRST - once you're in the pit, wait for the two pats to show up and stick a mark on them. I use triangle and circle, usually. Once they're both gone - pull the first four pull. Mage sheeped the rifleman, I tanked the warden and two sentries. I ran straight back to the wall furthest from where the pat shows up - and our mage sheeped the rifleman when it was within shooting distance of me tanking. I threw down consecration and that was that.

SECOND - Make sure that both pats are nowhere near each other. Pull the one that comes into the pit first - it will make this a much easier challenge. I stood on the small metal grate in the middle of the pit, with my entire party in there. I ran forward and pulled with avenger's shield, then ran back to the circle and consecrated. The two reinforcements went to attack our priest, but came after me instead once they hit the AOE. Once all the mobs were on me, I ran away from the group and tanked all of them. The lookout was immune to my stun (confirmed - always immune), and earlier one of the reinforcements was immune to sheep (I cannot confirm that they are or are not, we might've hit a bug early on). We dpsed the lookout so that he couldnt say call the alarm more than once in case it spawned more adds, we didnt want to find out. After he was down, we killed the dog and then the two reinforcements. The reinforcements were not immune to my hammer of justice, so i hit them w/ that whenever possible.

Hope this helps, and good luck! I'll be back with more info once I actually finish the instance =)

You get to Old Hillsbrad Foothills through CoT (Caverns of Time) its a level 66+ instance, but noone in Southshore is attackable, so you couldn't get his ring :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

At the end of Durnholde u save that lvl 25 human called Taretha, so i looked her up, see what happens to her.

Long story short.

Her husband gets drunk and orders for her head to be chopped off, then he throws her head at Thrall.

Happy days.

Kommentar von Thottbot

lol I started to fight don carlos he killed me then about an hour later 59 min. after i ressed I checked back he was still running back and forth like an idiot

Kommentar von Thottbot

Coords: 47, 42 is where you came in and can get back into the caverns of Time...

Kommentar von Thottbot

so what do you think solo at 80 possible?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I can now confirm that a semi geared ret paladin lvl 80 can solo this instance with no pots or trouble in around 30 minutes.

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok i can't see this nowhere, but how the f... can i get inside? It just says "You do not meet the recuirment for this instance" I'm lvl 80 for crist sake. Please help

Kommentar von Thottbot

Can you solo this on heroic with a level 70 demonology warlock?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hal: Yea, Nat?
Nat: Had that dream again last night...
Hal: Which one?
Nat: So i'm on some moutain with some big ol' tree. Bunch of elves runnin' around all over...
Nat: Out of nowhere, some 300 foot tall demon or somethin' walks up and starts climbin' the tree.
Nat: And if that weren't crazy anough, the big demon gets killed by a bunch of floating light things... Oh, i was also a female elf in that one... Yep...
Hal: It'll never hapen Nat.

Lol i thought this was funny!

it says i dont need the requirements to go in. anyone know my problem?

Just do pre-q https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=10277/die-höhlen-der-zeit

Kommentar von Thottbot

Solo'd last night as a level 80 hunter, decent geared MM spec. It was fairly easy didn't get wiped although nearly lost Thrall once but recovered and finish pretty quickly.

I advise anyone trying to solo this, when your escorting Thrall, don't loot the mobs after you kill them just heal straight away and don't wait around cause Thrall doesn't give you much time to do anything he runs straight towards the next mob, so keep on your toes!

GOOD LUCK

Kommentar von Thottbot

So 80 paladin very geard so i dont really have any problems except one when you get ahead of thrall during the mount phase, when i got to the bridge that has the small stream going under it he dissapeard i figured he must end up at tauren mill please somone clearify my "wtf: moment

Kommentar von Thottbot

U need to be lvl 66 to get into OHB, but first you must do the starting quest. To do this easily, port from Dalaran to the Cavern of Time, and the big dragon there will have a quest for you to fly in to talk to someone. Then you do a walkaround with one of the Keepers of Time who explains whant CoT is. Once you finish that, she asks you to go into OHB to talk to someone. Once you finish OHB you get into Black Morass.

If you dont have access to dal, just go to tanaris and it is in a mountain area on the east side of the map.

Also i would like to say that it sucks that the loot table here is only seems to show lvl 70 gear.

Kommentar von hannibalektr

Just ran this on heroic. The last boss bugged out as well as thrall to having 1% health and just did that forever. Zoning out, resetting nothing fixed it.
