Question– Your guides really helped me out and I want to return the favor, what can I do to help?

Answer– Here’s how you can contribute:

1. Most important and easiest way to help: Spread the word. Tell people about my guide. Your friends, guildmates, boards you visit. Tell them that they are FREE and that they make you level much faster than other guides or questhelper.

2. When you try my guides, if you find any mistakes, leave a comment.

3. Post useful comments here. When people ask for advices and you know the answer, go for it and help them out, so I won’t have to do it myself 😛

4. And then of course, you can write a guide about an area of the game where you’re good. Direct message me on Twitter if you want to become an editor on Wow-pro!

5. You can also translate guides into other languages, if you are fluent in another language. Check our Guides in Other Languages section to see what has already been translated.

6. Leave a tip to the author of these guides : Donate!


Introduction

This guide is made for FAST leveling through the use of Optimized Quest Circuits. With this guide, questing will be very efficient and you’ll not waste any second running around and trying to figure out in which order to do your quests. Follow each instruction carefully and you will see for yourself. The quest choices and order to do them are optimal so that you run as few as possible while doing the most possible, turning several quests at the same time. It will be like grinding, because you’ll be killing stuff almost non-stop, besides you’ll also be completing a bunch of quests at the same time!

NOTE: Following this guide will get you the Quest Achievement for Grizzly Hills: Fo’ Grizzle My Shizzle. In fact, 100% of the quests of Grizzly Hills are included in the guide, or at least mentioned as optional.
The only one I didn’t include is a daily quest called [74] Riding the Red Rocket. For two reasons:

1. This quest is only available if your faction controls the Venture Bay lighthouse.
2. It’s rather annoying to do it without a flying mount. I recommend skipping this quest while leveling up and coming back to do it at level 80 and once you have your flying mount.

Everything described in this guide can be done solo (beside when I say otherwise). You can, of course, follow this guide while duoing, grouping, it’s not a problem, it works too.

DISCLAIMER: This guide does NOT take into account tradeskills, class specific quests or PvP. It’s 100% focused on getting the most experience possible in the shortest possible time while doing a lot of quests and enjoying as much content as possible. Any race/class combination can do this guide. Any complaints about PvP, tradeskills, or class specific issues will be ignored.


Basic rules

  • Spend your talent points so that you kill things as fast as possible. (e.g: Priest should specialize in Shadow Talents, Warriors in Arms/Fury, etc.
  • Don’t waste your time trying to find groups for questing, you can solo everything that is described in this guide unless I say otherwise. Only group with someone when it’s not gonna be a waste of time (e.g: meeting the person at the other end of the zone to show him the way to where your quest is, that is a waste of time)
  • Try to always log out in an inn or in one of the major cities when you take a break.

After having watched the video you should be more than ready.

Kill the thane and then fly to Venture Bay, as shown in the video.

2. You should be in Venture Bay now.

==Warning== We’re about to do 4 daily pvp quests. If you want to avoid PvP at all costs, skip this part. However please note that [74] Seeking Solvent counts for the zone quest achievement. Those quests are really quickly done and give 20K XP each, so I recommend doing them, even if you dislike pvp.

Get the 4 daily pvp quests:

  • [74] Keep Them at Bay!
  • [74] Smoke ‘Em Out
  • [74] Down with Captain Zorma!

a76circuit13.jpg

1. Go west to the area north of the docks in venture bay.

Go to the stables, it’s the first building you’ll encounter (18,79).

Inside the building you should see Venture Co. Stragglers.

a76img26.jpg Use the Smoke Bomb on them.

Tip: Just run in the building, gather them all in one bunch and then use the Smoke Bomb on them.

2. Go to the next two buildings to the west and do the same thing.

==Note== Kill Horde Units on the way

You should be done with [74] Smoke ‘Em Out very quickly if you bomb the 3 buildings.

3. Go southwest and kill Captain Zorna (13.5,80). She stands under a canopy, on the docks next to the westernmost ship.

She’s elite but she’s quite easy for any class.

HP: 30,000
Avg. Hit on Cloth: 800
Can be slowed and stunned (haven’t checked fear)

Now Finish [74] Keep Them at Bay! before going to the next step.

4. Go to the middle ship (16,80). It’s the same model as the boat from Booty Bay to Ratchet.

Go inside the cabin and clear the way to the last room.

==Warning== I really mean CLEAR the way. Kill all the Venture Co. in your way, even if you are a stealth class.

Once the way is clear, go to the last room where you should see the Element 115.

a76img27.jpg

Loot it. You’ll get the following debuff:

a76img28.jpg

That means it’s useless to mount or to sprint or anything like that. Just run straight back to the quest NPCs. You have only 3 Minutes to get there.

Go as fast as you can, avoid fights, and turn in [74] Seeking Solvent first.

Then turn in the other 3 quests:

  • [74] Keep Them at Bay!
  • [74] Smoke ‘Em Out
  • [74] Down with Captain Zorma!

Hearthstone back to Amberpine Lodge.

Turn in [74] The Thane of Voldrune.

You should be level 76 or somewhere around it. If you are ahead, that’s great, keep following the guide normally, don’t skip anything. If you are behind, that’s not a problem either, just keep following the guide normally. You’ll catch up eventually and there will be a lot of extra circuits at the end anyway 😉

Jump down. Go next to this tree.

a76img42.jpg Right-click the Verdant Torch from your inventory.

2. Now mount up and follow the slope, all the way up to the highest floor of the tree. There you should find Vordrassil’s Seeds:

Once you’ve looted all the seeds on this floor, mount up, take the northwestern exit.

You can find seeds everywhere in the furbolg camps around the base of the tree.

1. Go northeast to the isles called the Ruins of Tethys (78,37).

Once you’re on the isles, look around for a School of Northern Salmon:

a76img46.jpg

a76img47.jpg Get very close to it and right-click the Fishing Net.

Repeat this until you have 6 Northern Salmon. You can find more Schools of Northern Salmon all around those isles.

Tip: The water is shallow here, so you can mount up while looking for schools.

2. Go further northeast to Gavrock (80,34).

Turn in [75] Gavrock, get [75] Runes of Compulsion.

We are really close to Bloodmoon Isle here, so we have the option to do the group quest [75] Hour of the Worg.


Optional: [75] Hour of the Worg

This group quest is supposedly soloable by certain classes (Death Knights, Paladins, Hunters, Warlocks, Druids, etc). But it’s of course much easier to get a 2 or 3-man team for it.

So look for a group while following the rest of my guide, and when you find a group, come back to this section.

a76circuit29.jpg

1. Swim northeast to Bloodmoon Isle (83,28).

2. Follow the path up and there will be a camp to your right, where you should find a big worgen called Selas (85.5,27.5). Kill it.

3. Get back on the path and further up to your left you’ll find another camp, where you will find Varlam (85,24). Kill him.

4. Once you reach the top of the hill, go around to the tower towards the southern side and you’ll find a big worg called Goremaw. Kill it.

5. Enter the tower, fight your way to the top. There you will find the Shade of Arugal.

Shade of Arugal Strategy

HP: 107,000

Phase 1: Shadowbolts for ~1500 dmg. Goes to Phase 2 at 75-70% HP.

Phase 2: Becomes invulnerable and summons 3 adds. Kill the adds to go back to Phase 1. When he hits 50% HP, he goes to Phase 3.

Phase 3: Becomes invulnerable again. Mind controls a party member which you’ll have to bring down to 35% health.
Once you break the Mind Control, Arugal goes back to Phase 1.

Bring him down to 25% HP and he’ll go to Phase 4.

Phase 4: It’s just like Phase 2, but with 9 adds instead of 3.
Kill the adds, then kill Arugal.

Sasha will show up and help you finish him off during the last phase. After the fight is over, turn in [75] Hour of the Worg.


a76circuit30.jpg

1. Go south to a summoning circle with 4 dwarves Iron Rune-Weavers channeling (79,44):

a76img48.jpg

2. Go northwest to another summoning circle (75,37).

Kill the 4 Dwarves, Overseer Lochli will spawn. Kill him.

4. Go northwest to another summoning circle (68,30).

Kill the 4 Dwarves, Overseer Druval will spawn. Kill him.

a76circuit31.jpg

1. Go northeast to Drakil’jin Ruins (71,27).

==Note== Kill Drakkari Protectors and Drakkari Oracles on the way while going north.

2. Further north you’ll find an entrance to the catacombs at (71.5,23).

Look for Drakkari Canopic Jars:

a76img49.jpg

Loot 5 of them.

3. Go deeper in the catacombs until you see a yellow “!” on your minimap (69.5,17.5). If there’s no “!” on the minimap, it means someone else is doint the escort quest, so you’ll have to wait a little.

Go to that room and you’ll find Drakkari Tablets in a corner:

a76img50.jpg

Loot the Drakkari Tablets.

Now talk to Harrison Jones and start the escort quest [75] Dun-da-Dun-tah!
It’s an easy escort quest as long as you let Harrison Jones tank the elite snake for you.

a76circuit32.jpg

1. After the escort. Kill trolls in the ruins until you’ve looted 5 Sacred Mojo.

Then go to the middle of the Drakil’jin Ruins and find Drakuru’s Brazier, up some broken stairs (71.5,26).

a76img13.jpg Right-click Drakuru’s Elixir.

Turn in [75] Voices From the Dust, get [75] Cleansing Drak’Tharon.

Now kill trolls around Drakil’jin Ruins until you finished [75] Therapy.


OptionalInstance: Drak’Tharon Keep.

Now we’ve got all the quests for Drak’Tharon Keep:

  • [74] Search and Rescue
  • [75] Cleansing Drak’Tharon

So from now on, if you feel like it, you should look for a group for Drak’Tharon Keep. It’s a very nice instance for level 74-76 players, I recommend it.

If you don’t feel like it or if you don’t find a group, you can abandon [74] Search and Rescue, it can easily be picked up in the future at the Granite Springs, if you change your mind. However, do not abandon [75] Cleansing Drak’Tharon, as it’s rather annoying to get that quest again if you abandon it.


2. Ride southeast back to Harkor’s Camp. Turn in:

  • [75] Therapy
  • [75] Dun-da-Dun-tah!
  • [75] It Takes Guts…, get [75] Drak’aguul’s Mallet

a76circuit33.jpg

1. Now look for Drak’aguul. A big troll who spawns at (74,30) and patrols on the path towards Drakil’jin Ruins.

Kill him, loot the Drakil’jin Mallet.

Go back to Harkor’s Camp, turn in [75] Drak’aguul’s Mallet, get [75] See You on the Other Side.

2. Ride to Drakil’jin Ruins, go to the gongs infront of the catacombs entrance (71.5,25):

a76img51.jpg

a76img52.jpg Right-click the Drakil’jin Mallet while being very close to the one of the gongs.

You’ll die shortly after, it’s normal.

3. Go inside the catacombs and go deeper until you find Gan’jo.

Turn in [75] See You on the Other Side, get [75] Chill Out, Mon.

Right next to Gan’jo you should see Gan’jo’s Chest:

a76img53.jpg

Right-click it and loot the Snow of Eternal Slumber.

Talk to Gan’jo and ask him to return you to the living.

Go back to the previous room.

a76img54.jpg Target an Ancient Drakkari Warmonger or Soothsayer and right-click the Snow of Eternal Slumber.

Follow the Ancient Drakkari when it starts to run and then loot the Drakkari Spirit Particles after its mummy burns.

Repeat this 5 times.

4. Get out of the ruins, mount up and ride back to Harkor’s Camp.

Turn in [75] Chill Out, Mon, get [75] Jin’arrak’s End.

a76circuit34.jpg

==Note== Don’t forget to kill Longhoof Grazers on sight if you still need them for [75] Nice to Meat You.

2. Go west to another of those blue glow stones (71,39.5).

a76img59.jpg Right-click the Shard of Gavrock.

3. Go further west to Redwood Trading Post, turn in [75] A Bear of an Appetite.

4. Go southeast to another of those blue glow stones (74,44).

a76img59.jpg Right-click the Shard of Gavrock.

a76circuit36.jpg

Once you have one, go inside the building and free Prospector Gann from his cage:

a76img60.jpg

==Note== Kill every Iron Rune-Smith on the way until you’ve looted the Golem Blueprint Section 1, 2 and 3.

3. A few steps west you should find a path going up to the upper tier.

Once you’re up on the upper tier, go straight south and you should find Prospector Torgan in a cage, just outside of a dwarven building (76,58).

Free him.

4. Follow the stairs southwest and go all the way to the top until you find another dwarven building (76,62).

Outside the building you should see two cages. Prospector Varana is in one of those cages. Free her.

Now go inside the building and kill Iron Rune-Smiths until you’ve looted the Golem Blueprint Section 1, 2 and 3.

a76img61.jpg Once you have them, right-click one of the Golem Blueprint Sections and you’ll obtain the War Golem Blueprint.

Go back to Prospector’s Point, turn in:

  • [75] The Captive Prospectors, get [75] Why Fabricate When You Can Appropriate?
  • [75] The Perfect Plan, get [75] Looking the Part

a76circuit37.jpg

==Note== From now on, loot War Golem Parts on your way:

Kill an Iron Rune Overseer, loot an Overseer’s Uniform.

a76circuit38.jpg

Ride back to Dun’Argol.

a76img64.jpg Once in Dun’Argol, right-click the Overseer Disguise Kit. Yes, it works while mounted, and only if you are already mounted!

2. Ride up to the next tier with the two dwarven buildings.

First, go to the building on your right-hand side. You should find Rune-Smith Durar inside (75,57).

Get out of the building.

Mount up.

Use the Overseer Disguise Kit.

Ride back to Prospector’s Point.

==WARNING== Do NOT turn in [75] Put on Your Best Face for Loken. The disguise will be very useful for the rest of the quests.

a76circuit39.jpg

4. Once Iron Thane Furyhammer is dead, stay in the Golem Suit and run away until they give up on following you. Don’t bother killing The Anvil. (Please note that you take no falling damage in the suit, so you can jump off high cliffs too to escape).

Once they’ve given up on you, mount up, use the Overseer Disguise Kit and ride back to Prospector’s Point.

Turn in all 3 quests:

  • [75] Blackout
  • [75] The Iron Thane and His Anvil
  • [75] Put on Your Best Face for Loken

a76circuit40.jpg

1. Ride northeast to Gavrock, turn in [75] Latent Power, get [75] Free at Last.

2. Ride southwest to a plains area at (72,37).

a76img67.jpg Look for Runed Giants and use Gavrock’s Runebreaker on them.

  • If it works, the giant will become friendly and you’ll get a quest update
  • If it doesn’t work, the giant will attack you but will be in a much weaker state. So you’ll just have to re-use Gavrock’s Runebreaker until it works. Meanwhile, try to stun or to kite the giant until the item cools down.

Keep doing this until you’ve 4 Runed Giants Freed.

While you’re here, also kill Longhoof Grazers and Duskhowl Prowlers until you finish [75] Nice to Meat You!

Go to Hierophant Thayrenn, turn in:

  • [75] Vordrassil’s Seeds
  • [75] Vordrassil’s Sapling

Get the follow up [75] Ursoc, the Bear God.

You should be level 77 or somewhere around it. If you are ahead, that’s great, keep following the guide normally, don’t skip anything. If you are behind, that’s not a problem either, just keep following the guide normally. You’ll catch up eventually and there will be a lot of extra circuits at the end anyway 😉


Level 77


Optional: [75] Ursoc, the Bear God.

Fly to Westfall Brigade Encampment.

a76circuit41.jpg

1. Ride west until a narrow path going up at (51.5,27).

2. Follow this path up and you’ll find Tur Ragepaw (52,24).

Now before you talk to him, read the following paragraph.

Despite being a 3-man group quest, [75] Ursoc, the Bear God is soloable for tank and healer classes if you use the help of Tur Ragepaw correctly.

  • If you are a tank or pet class (Protection Warrior, Paladin, Feral Druid, Death Knight, Hunter, Warlock). Tell Tur RagepawWe could use a healer“. He will heal your tank or your pet through the fight.
  • If you are a healer class, tell Tur RagepawAssume your druidic bear form, Tur.” And he will tank for you as long as you keep him alive with your heals.
  • For other classes/specs it might be too difficult to solo the quest. With my mage in quest greens I couldn’t do it. It might be possible for rogues and dps warriors if they ask Tur Ragepaw to assume the role of a healer, depending on gear.

If you can’t solo it, try to look for a group. Duo’ing this quest should be easy.

==WARNING== During the fight, Ursoc will release a small black sludge called Blood of the Old God. Kill it ASAP, it only has 2K HPs, but it’s very annoying (does 1K damage + stun every 5 seconds or so).

a76img68.jpg After the fight is over, target Ursoc’s corpse and use the Purified Ashes of Vordrassil.

==Note== You can also use the Purified Ashes of Vordrassil on the corpse even if someone else killed Ursoc.

If you can’t find a group, just save this quest for when you reach level 80.


We’re done with the Grizzly Hills. It’s time to go to Zul’Drak. Please follow my guide to Zul’Drak!

I hope you enjoyed this guide. If you want to return the favor, please try to contribute.

    Awesome GuideJames your guide is fantastic!

    I started my first ever Alliance and from Deathknight starter zone I have followed all your guides after that.

    To try for extra gold I did level mining, skinning and finished the Netherstorm quests + half the Shadowmoon Valley.

    In Grizzly Hills I hit 80 with enough Gold to buy my fast fly mount + riding skills.

    Thanks mate!

    Short note to finishing upI’ve used this guide for my mage and warlock. Any issues I’ve found were minor. In both cases I ended up with a decent set of green and blue armor and well over 2000 Gold.

    As of the posting date, levels 78-80 have yet to be completed. I took the initiative and found that if you complete all the quests you can find in Zul’Drak and after that go to Sholazar Basin, complete all those quests and then to Ice Crown (Argent Vanguard and Valley of Echo’s), you’ll easily be in striking distance of level 80. All these quests are easily solo-able.

    Thanks for your guide, it made the game fun and much less frustrating.

    Feb 19, 2009 @ 7:38 am

    Actually, you’re ALL WRONG!Actually, you’re ALL WRONG! MUAHAHA!

    ‘Beside(s)’ can also mean ‘along with’ when it is used adverbially, such as ‘I can eat this food, and a lot else besides’.

    However, the usage of ‘besides’ we have here is a preposition, and as such can either mean ‘compared with’ OR in addition to, which is the meaning used here. 🙂

    BESIDES isnt EXCEPTHi Jame,
    Im guessing english isnt your first language.
    Just thought id bring to your attention your usage of “BESIDES” throughout the guide (not just Grizzly Hills) instead of “Except”

    For example, right at the beggining of this guide:
    “Get all the quests from here BESIDES [74] The Magical Kingdom of Dalaran:”

    Besides means: along with
    Except means: all but this one

    Big difference, and it might confuse others while reading your guide.

    On the other hand, great job keep up the good work. 🙂

    Well, the problem there isWell, the problem there is that the Dragonblight guide already says to pick up the quest that sends you to Zul’Drak, “Into The Breach!” (not to be confused with the totally different quest of the same name in Grizzly Hills). So if you following the entire guide exactly, this one in Westfall won’t be available.

    [75] Raining Down Destruction“Right-click the Boulder from your inventory and aim for a dwarf down in the trench.

    Repeat 5 times.

    ==Note== You can only carry one Boulder at a time.”

    This has been changed recently, you can now carry as many boulders as you need to complete the quest, just a heads up!

    Thanks for these awesome guides… I really don’t know what I’d do without them :)!

    Zul’DrakJust finished Grizzly Hills! Thanks to your guide and lots of rested XP I hit level 80. Wanted to post a thank you and add a suggestion. Not sure if you will cover this in your Zul’Drak guide but you may want to mention to speak to Capt Stoutmanlt in Westfall Brigade Encmapment to get the quest Reallocting Resources that sends you to Zul’Drak. There also should be a warning not to pick up any other quests that send you to Light’s Breach as that will make this quest unavailable unless you abandodn the other quest.

    Thanks again!

    here is a revision for you…For this part: Get all the quests from here BESIDES [74] The Magical Kingdom of Dalaran:

    You need to addon to this part, explaining that you should only get it once your level 77 to fly to dalaran, get the flight path and the ability to get a flying mount. I flew all over the place, trying to figure out how and where to get to dalaran, only to return back to grizzly hills to accept this quest after googling ‘how to get to dalaran’. Would have saved me some time and I’m sure it will do the same for others if you make this simple addition.

    Thanks

    Grizzled VeteranAgreed. The Achievement’s title is “Grizzled Veteran.” You don’t have to do all the quests the same day, and the Solvent quests don’t count toward this goal. As of 3.0.3, “Always Seeking Solvent” is an infinitely repeatable quest, not a daily, and while I’m not sure about the original, the repeatable version doesn’t flag you for PvP because it’s just a delivery, like “A Donation of [Cloth]” (no EXP, no rep as far as I know, but 2 Venture Coins per turn-in.)

    Could Also be Fighting MobsAlso, as with the main cluster of quest givers in Farshire, she may be fighting mobs (ghouls in Farshire, Marauders in Silverbrook) that wandered too close to the camp. While fighting, her “?” disappears, and she doesn’t offer the quest until she’s done fighting and back to her home location. You’ll have to either wait for them to fight off the mobs, or jump in and help. Though occasionally disorienting, it’s a nice touch; it makes the NPC’s seem a little more realistic.

    Good point. It’s justGood point. It’s just something I forgot to erase, because at the start I had decided to finish that quest much later on, and then I changed my mind.

    Eagle Eyes“==Note== From now on, kill Imperial Eagles on your way. We’re not in any hurry to finish that quest, so don’t go out of your way to hunt them:”

    Yet in the next but one paragraph you’re telling us to finish the quest already? Kill the note maybe, or just leave it at “From now on, kill Imperial Eagles on your way”

    Stick With ItIt’s your choice, but if you want the gold and the Achievements that come from completing these quests, you may as well do them now. I just hit level 80 in Grizzly Hills, right about where the guide predicts hitting level 76 (I stayed in Outland well past 70, plus I run lots of instances.) At level 78, you’ll still get full EXP for all quests in Grizzly Hills; if you ding 79 early on, you’ll only get 80% EXP for the level 73 quests, but there aren’t many of those here (the last one is about 1/4 of the way into the guide.)

    In other words, there’s little harm in questing, and there’s little harm in instancing. However, if you don’t have any outstanding quests for those instances, and/or you’re instancing with a series of pickup groups, your EXP/hour won’t be nearly as good as you’d get by following the guide.

    a typohey jame,

    wonderfull guide btw. just found a typo here

    Get the two follow ups:

    * [75] Vordrassil’s Seeds
    * [75] Vordrassil’s Sapling

    1. Follow the road a long way east until until (51,51).

    Look north and you should see a big opening inside this huge tree called Vordrassil.

    Once inside the tree, you should see a small tree down below:

    as you can see. until is put two times 🙂

    Achieve Daily PVPhey Jame thanks for what you do. i have been using your guides since level 40 and i honestly do not know if i can play without it now. it has become my security blanket. i just thought i’d mention at the beginning where you say you are leaving out the daily pvp quest riding the red rocket, that you might mention that there is an achievement for completing all the daily pvps in grizzly. that in order to get it you have to complete this quest. thanks again

    … Or Maybe We Don’tMight want to note.. the war golem summoned for this quest is a Companion, or vanity/non-combat pet.

    If you summon another vanity pet from your collection while the golem is out, you’ll lose the golem (thankfully not your progress) and have to re-summon it.

    Captain ZornaJust gave it a try. She is not immune to a priest’s fear! She ran everywhere, unfortunately for me she ran up onto the ship and brought friends but it is random where they run so just my bad luck. 😛

    And one more (again, forAnd one more (again, for now)…

    After we turn in Mounting Up, you advise us to re-equip our main-hand weapons. The item used in the quest, Stick, is a two-hander, so we have to equip main and offhand both afterwards.

    A couple of thingsFirst, for Heart of the Ancients, there’s no warning on the guide that fighting anything to clear to the top of the pumping station will flag you for PvP.

    Second, why not grab the PvP dailies before doing just that? That way we’ll get credit for the Horde kills on the way (Kick ’em While They’re Down, I think).

    Lastly for now, while gathering Ice Serpent Eyes for Shimmercap Stew, I’d suggest you change the instructions a bit. Currently you have it so that we’re trying to get all 5 along with the mojo before turning in Subject to Interpretation. However, Ice Serpents Eyes seem to have a worse drop rate than the mojo does, and there’s plenty of Ice Serpents around the Shimmering Snowcaps we’re after in the next step. I’d make step one a “start killing” and step two a “keep killing until”.

    I wouldn’t. They’re too easyI wouldn’t. They’re too easy to get while clearing to the braziers you have to reach anyway, for which kills you get XP.

    “Go next to Iron Thane“Go next to Iron Thane Furyhammer and The Anvil, which should be in the same room.

    Now do this:

    1. Use Ability #2
    2. Cancel the Overseer Disguise buff.
    3. Target Iron Thane Furyhammer and use Ability #1 whenever it’s up. Also use Ability#2 again whenever The Anvil recovers from the EMP.”

    I found number 2 not possible whilst in the Golem suit, the buff disappears although you are still ‘ wearing ‘ it and unable to attack either Thane or The Anvil.

    You can cancel the buff quite safely if away from Thane, the Anvil and 1 overseer who stands next to the power core, then click on the golem control and continue as above.

    Thanks

    mojo on the AHThe various mojo needed for Drakuru’s Elixir can be purchased off the AH. On my server they are being sold less then their vendor price.

    5 mojos of each are needed except for Zim’bo’s

    5 Frozen Mojo – Subject to Interpretation
    1 Zim’bo’s Mojo – Sacrifices Must be Made
    5 Desperate Mojo- My Heart is in Your Hands
    5 Sacred Mojo – Voices From the Dust
    5 Enduring Mojo – Cleansing Drak’Tharon

    I recommend they all be purchased ahead of time, except for Enduring Mojo and not Zim’bo’s Mojo unless cheap. Reason is that Zim’bo’s is a 100% drop rate and you will get lots of Enduring Mojo while in the instance.

    Grammatical error in introductionJust a small one that says:

    “1. This quest is only available if your faction to control the Venture Bay lighthouse”

    It should say:

    1. This quest is only available if your faction controls the Venture Bay Lighthouse.

    Love the guides and follow them religiously every time I make a character. I quit after getting burned out in BC, read your first WotLK guide and got hooked again. Now my mage is 75 and I’m addicted all over again!

    Thanks!

    Just finished this guide andJust finished this guide and hit 79, thanks! One problem I found,
    1. Ride to Kurun.
    Turn in [75] Into the Breach, get [75] Gavrock.
    I couldn’t turn in the quest at Kurun. Also, I couldn’t get any of the Venture Bay quests, but that was probably just me, seeing as I didn’t watch the video and must’ve ended up in a different part. Great work, any idea when Zul’Drak will be out?

    Seeking Solvent – PvP-free methodHey, here’s a little tip for the people who don’t like to PvP or do the PvP areas, but still want to do [74] Seeking Solvent to get the zone quest achievement. Or, of course, if the area is just really crowded and you know you can’t get out without getting your ticket punched.

    You can actually go onto the boat with the Element 115 and take it without having accepted the quest, and then you can just run it back without hassle from enemy players. The Venture Co mobs are not PvP flagged so you can kill them safely, and taking the Element 115 does not flag you either. You do have to flag for PvP in order to turn into the quest when you get back though, but at that point you should be safely out of danger’s way.

    Venture Bay questsHey Jame,

    I was doing the venture bay quests and saw a new kind of reward, Venture Coins. Doing the dailies you mention in the guide, you get 32 coins which is enough to buy some cool rewards at the Venture Bay vendor if your faction controls it.

    The vendor is at 13,86, named GRizzly Adams, and the rewards can be seen at this adress:

    http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=27760#sells

    I don’t know for other classes but the libram for holy paladins is pretty nice, worth looking into it i.m.o. and might be useful to note in your wonderful guide.

    Thank you again for the great help,
    Krusher
