Welcome to [http://www.theamazonbasin.com The Amazon Basin]'s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki] page. The Basin's motto is "A community of friends playing games". We are a group of gamers interested in playing fair and respecting each other.

Our community consists of several guilds organized around the games in which we participate. Please feel free to explore the information we have available here and enjoy your time with the Amazon Basin.

Our wiki currently holds [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] pages contributed by our members!

== Updates ==

This is a test for creating a new page called [[Basin News]].

I've just merged the "Unofficial WoW Wiki" with the wiki database here. This was a very hairy process, but I'm pretty sure we didn't lose any data (all is backed up elsewhere if we did). WoW users will need to reregister. Please give a helping hand in getting the new wiki together. The WoW wiki can be accessed via the left nav or via [[Main Page WoW]] --[[User:Malphigian|Malphigian]] 17:11, 21 Feb 2005 (Eastern Standard Time)

The DAoC branch is working on their [[DAoC Main Page|Main Page]].

Wiki moved over from TPJ's server to the main Basin server. All the Basin resources are now hosted on the Basin server. Sorry for the downtime, but it was something that needed to be done. Back to Wiki'ing. (NLX3647)

You have to be logged in to make changes now. This is to prevent trolls and spammers from making changes and putting links up here that we don't want.

Xibalba: update to progress

Ok, thought I would just put a quick note in here outlining my plans for adding information to the wiki. I intend on modelling the page off the HG:L page as I think that looks quite neat. The following is a list of stuff I was intending on putting in the wiki:

*Warhammer Universe - a separate page giving some history and background to the Warhammer IP.
*Races - brief info on the races and a link to related classes - I ahve the outline in place now, jsut need to populate the pages
*Overview on the classes and links to a page for each class
*Locations - info on the different main areas
*RvR - a description of RvR and how it differs from PvP. I also intend on including info on scenarios, keeps, capturing cities etc.
*Game Mechanics - combat system, moral and tactics etc.
*Basin in WAR - will need some help with this but I was thinking of adding some info on how those currently in beta can hook up together as well as the status of the guild beta application.

I will add things to this list as I think of them. If anyone else has suggestions or comments stick them in here or just add whatever content you have to the existing page.

BTW, I am getting the same SQL error on this page as the HG:L one so i have added the same note.

Xibalba: fixed speeling

Ok, thought I would just put a quick note in here outlining my plans for adding information to the wiki. I intend on modelling the page off the HG:L page as I think that looks quite neat. The following is a list of stuff I was intending on putting in the wiki:

*Warhammer Universe - a separate page giving some history and background to the Warhammer IP.
*Races - brief info on the races and a link to related classes
*Overview on the classes and links to a page for each class
*Locations - info on the different main areas
*RvR - a description of RvR and how it differs from PvP. I also intend on including info on scenarios, keeps, capturing cities etc.
*Basin in WAR - will need some help with this but I was thinking of adding some info on how those currently in beta can hook up together as well as the status of the guild beta application.

I will add things to this list as I think of them. If anyone else has suggestions or comments stick them in here or just add whatever content you have to the existing page.

BTW, I am getting the same SQL error on this page as the HG:L one so i have added the same note.

== Walkthrough ==

Zul'Fasttrack: left side fast walkthrough. With decent firepower, the left side ZF walkthrough can be done in 30 minutes, not counting time to arrive at the instance. At the left side, you will find Hydromancer Velratha, and Gahz'rilla. On the way, you can scoop up a couple of scarab shells but not a lot.

The instance is mostly made up of groups of 3 trolls. General rule is that the Witch Doctors ought to be killed first because of their totems and heals. Stuns do help.

Another feature is regular patrols. Respawn rate is within 10 minutes. Only the big patrols, made up of two hunters and a lizard, are really annoying. There are two of these left side of ZF. They walk fixed paths and keep to their stretch (so respawn is no problem if you move on), but there's no telling where on their stretch they'll spawn. A safe way to demolish such a patrol is to halt it with distract (rogue), put one to sleep (rogue or priest), and kill at leisure.

Enter the instance and kill everything while moving North. Watch out for small patrols and the occasional single mob standing to the side. They tend to be overlooked. At the first square, hug the right wall. If you pull/attack the threespawn at the gate North of the first square carefully, you don't need to bother with any of the casters at the monument in the centre.

Move further North. Hug left wall to ignore everything stationary on the right. Don't attack anything at the second plaza either, but before you get there, move left through the jumble of stone blocks as a shortcut to the West. You can get onto the road again without aggroing any of the stationary mobs there, but there is one small patrol in that area so do look whether it's around.

West through the gate are a couple of tents and mobs in the corner. They can be safely ignored - just don't fight near there and hug right, moving NorthWest. There's a singlepull troll in the tent to the right, and another single behind it. In this area you'll encounter your first threespawn patrol. Fight it at the gate or near the right wall where you cleared the two singles. Oh, you didn't and aggroed the corner tents? Well, do you want to do this in 30 minutes or not? :-P There a stationary fourspawn too that preferably needs some CC.

The NorthWest stretch leads to an open area with a pool. Your second threespawn patrol circles the pool. This one and a couple of singlepulls can be dealt with at the entrance. Clear everything South and West of the pool, and all of the singlepulls. There's no problem if you leave the groups to the far North and far East untouched (even the fivespawn to the NorthEast). Hydromancer Velratha will be ambling around and can be singlepulled. He's a sissy.

Now you have a good cleared space to the West of the pool. If you bang the gong with the mallet, Gahz'rilla, a three-headed lizard with no sense of humour, will raise out of the pool and attack. A sturdy tank that is solid on aggro is all you need to tackle it. Oh, you didn't activate the mallet at the temple of Jintha'Alor in The Hinterlands and now Gahz'rilla won't spawn? Well, that's why we have the ZF left side fast walkthrough... See you tomorrow for another one! :-) -Rana

== Walkthrough ==

Zul'Fasttrack: left side fast walkthrough. With decent firepower, the left side ZF walkthrough can be done in 30 minutes, not counting time to arrive at the instance. At the left side, you will find Hydromancer Velratha, and Gahz'rilla. On the way, you can scoop up a couple of scarab shells but not a lot.

The instance is mostly made up of groups of 3 trolls. General rule is that the Witch Doctors ought to be killed first because of their totems and heals. Stuns do help.

Another feature is regular patrols. Respawn rate is within 10 minutes. Only the big patrols, made up of two hunters and a lizard, are really annoying. There are two of these left side of ZF. They walk fixed paths and keep to their stretch (so respawn is no problem if you move on), but there's no telling where on their stretch they'll spawn. A safe way to demolish such a patrol is to halt it with distract (rogue), put one to sleep (rogue or priest), and kill at leisure.

Enter the instance and kill everything while moving North. Watch out for small patrols and the occasional single mob standing to the side. They tend to be overlooked. At the first square, hug the right wall. If you pull/attack the threespawn at the gate North of the first square carefully, you don't need to bother with any of the casters at the monument in the centre.

Move further North. Hug left wall to ignore everything stationary on the right. Don't attack anything at the second plaza either, but before you get there, move left through the jumble of stone blocks as a shortcut to the West. You can get onto the road again without aggroing any of the stationary mobs there, but there is one small patrol in that area so do look whether it's around.

West through the gate are a couple of tents and mobs in the corner. They can be safely ignored - just don't fight near there and hug right, moving NorthWest. There's a singlepull troll in the tent to the right, and another single behind it. In this area you'll encounter your first threespawn patrol. Fight it at the gate or near the right wall where you cleared the two singles. Oh, you didn't and aggroed the corner tents? Well, do you want to do this in 30 minutes or not? :-P There a stationary fourspawn too that preferably needs some CC.

The NorthWest stretch leads to an open area with a pool. Your second threespawn patrol circles the pool. This one and a couple of singlepulls can be dealt with at the entrance. Clear everything South and West of the pool, and all of the singlepulls. There's no problem if you leave the groups to the far North and far East untouched (even the fivespawn to the NorthEast). Hydromancer Velratha will be ambling around and can be singlepulled. He's a sissy.

Now you have a good cleared space to the West of the pool. If you bang the gong with the mallet, Gahz'rilla, a three-headed lizard with no sense of humour, will raise out of the pool and attack. A sturdy tank that is solid on aggro is all you need to tackle it. Oh, you didn't activate the mallet at the temple of Jintha'Alor in The Hinterlands and now Gahz'rilla won't spawn? Well, that's why we have the ZF left side fast walkthrough... See you tomorrow for another one! :-) -Rana

Wailing Caverns

2005-03-08T05:50:04Z

Xibalba: Updated broken quest links

The Wailing Caverns is a level 15-24 instance located in The Barrens just southwest of the Crossroads. The recommended character level for doing this instance is 18-24 but a lower level group can do fine fighting the monsters outside of the instance. This will prove to be a challenging and rewarding experience for new folks just starting out. Wailing Caverns takes about 100-150 minutes to do a full clear at the appropriate level. The upper end is if you take your time and clear the rooms, the lower range for if you skip every group of mobs you can via mind soothe, or just walking out of aggro range. The zone respawn seems to be about 2 hours, so if you do die you still should have time to get back to where you died at.

== External Guides ==
'''[http://www.infoceptor.com/wow/walkthrough/wailing/ Infocepter]Guide with directions and annotated map'''

== Quests ==
Here is a list of all Wailing Caverns related quests. Some of these quests have very good item rewards. The experience gained from completing all the quests is significant for characters up to their mid-20s.

'''Wailing Caverns'''] Two quests are obtained in a cave just above the entrance to wailing caverns, it can be tricky to make the jump to get inside so you may want to go around to the hill behind the caverns so you can climb up above them. Then it will be easy to drop down to the cavern entrance which will be on the right side when you are facing the oasis. The cave above the entrance also has a leathercrafting vendor who sells two other deviate hide patterns. The three deviate hide recipes require deviate scales and perfect deviate scales that are obtained in the instance and the pre-instance areas in the cave.

'''[http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?q=875 Deviate Hides]''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Slick+Deviate+Leggings Slick Deviate Leggings] or [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Deviate+Hide+Pack Deviate Hide Pack (10 slot)] 
Deviate Hides drop off just about any monster with Deviate in the name, it is usually easiest and fastest to do this on mobs outside of the instance in a small group (2-3).

'''[http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?q=874 Deviate Eradication]''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Dagmire+Gauntlets Dagmire Gauntlets] or [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Sizzle+Stick Sizzle Stick] or [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Pattern%3A+Deviate+Scale+Belt Pattern: Deviate Scale Belt] 
The monsters for this quest are all inside the instance, unless you skip some monsters you shouldn't have any problem finishing this on one complete run.

'''Ratchet''' Either Alliance or Horde may take these quests. The rewards are XP and coin only.

'''[http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?q=704 Smart Drinks]''' 
These drop from any of the slimes you see inside or outside the instance. While doing some of the other outside the instance quests you will proboably finish this as well.

'''[http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?q=214 Trouble at the Docks]''' 
Mad Magglish is a stealthed goblin that patrols the cave outside of the instance. A few spots you can usually find him are: 
In an alcove to the right shortly after entering the cave 
After the shallow water section where you can go 3 ways, either down the left or right path 
Also he could be walking between either of these locations or dead and waiting to respawn.

'''Thunder Bluff'''

'''[http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?q=583 Serpentbloom]''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Apothecary+Boots Apothecary Boots] or [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Apothecary+Gloves Apothecary Gloves] 
This quest involves picking flowers inside the cave leading up to the instance. A small party can do this while doing the Deviate Hides quest. Serpentbloom can be found in the instance as well.

'''[http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?q=626 Leaders of the Fang]''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Crescent+Staff Crescent Staff] or [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Wingblade Wingblade] 
This quest is a part of a quest line which begins having you explore the Oasis of the barrens and eventually sends you off to thunderbluff for this quest. It requires you to kill 4 of the major boss monsters in the zone.

'''Mutanus the Devourer'''

'''[http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?q=3446 The Glowing Shard]''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Talbar+Mantle Talbar Mantle] or [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?s=Quagmire+Galoshes Quagmire Galoshes] 
This quest begins as a drop off of the last boss of the zone. Sort of another reward for finishing it all.

Note: Thottbot no longer lists this quest. Allakhazam has the quest listed as Alliance only. - Xibalba

== Walkthrough ==
This is a dungeon that many people complain about being confusing. However it is a lot simpler than most people know. First off a quick run through of the cave leading into the instance. This cave located SW of crossroads has most of the quests in it. Deviate Hides, Serpentbloom and Smart Drinks can all be done here, or later in the instance. Trouble at the Docks is only done in the this cave. As you enter the cave the path quickly heads right and then to your left will be a path with a shallow pool of water and 3 paths to choose. To head to the instance just continue down the middle path, however the other 2 paths are frequented by Mad Magglish for the Trouble at the Docks quest so you may want to check those out. Also as you travel through the caves keep your eyes open for serpentbloom a small plant that grows in these caves and in the instance. After following the center path from the shallow pool room you will get to another section with deeper water. There are some Deviate Threshers that will proboably attack you as you swim through it. Then you will enter a large room. This is a great place to run around and kill stuff for your quests and pick serpentbloom. If you just want to goto the instance then just follow the right wall, but look out for the hole in the path.

So now you are in the instance, you will be greeted by a friend Druid of Naralex that will cast Mark of the Wild on you if you talk to him. To get started the first boss is Lady Anacondra. Just head down the path killing the monsters in your way till you come to a large room with a river running through it. Stay on the upper level here above the water and take a left. Anacondra can spawn in a few spots but if you walk around this area you will find her. She can spawn inside any of the 4 circles of torches in this area. Once she is down, jump into the river and walk to the left (left as if you just entered the room). The little river will stop and open into a bigger room that has only one exit. Take that exit and you get to a hill covered with Stalagmites/Stalactites and some big snakes and druids.

First a bit about the druids and their abilities. They can cast Wrath a nature DD, Sleep a mez spell, a nature heal and can shapeshift into giant snakes giving them a good melee boost but taking away casting. You will have trouble getting them to come back to your group, unless you duck behind a corner, column, stalagmite or something similar. Also you can earthshock them as well to interrupt. They can be CCed with Sap or Polymorph. Also the verious beasts and shapeshifted druids can be CCed with hibernate. Using these strategies you shouldn't have any trouble with the pulls in this section.

Ok so you fight your way up this hill and take a left. There aren't really any tricky paths to get in your way, just keep on going and you will eventually get to Lord Cobrahn. You might fight a few large pulls but those should have a few non elite pythons that can easily be dropped by AoE or a rogue while the rest of the groups focuses on elites. Once you kill Cobrahn there is a ledge you can jump out of that will take you back to the starting room next to the river.

Now you need to head down the river going the other way. Along the way you will see Kresh a turtle that sometimes drops a good shield, but usually drops a bad shield. The river will end in a room with some crocs and a path on the other side. You will now goto fighting druids and nature elementals. This path will continue across a short bridge with 4 non-elite plant monsters. They cleave so can be powerfull in melee but die very fast. After that short bridge is a room with a big ledge to the right, just continue on till you get to the first fork in the path. The fork will have a path straight through the water that is the quickest. However if you go left you will still get there, just a tad slower.

Lord Pythas is linked with a druid, and has a wandering elemental that is very near and hard to single pull. You can pull the elemental single by waiting for him to path as far away as possible. Also watch for patrols in the room first to prevent getting adds. There proboably is a slime or 2 and an elemental. Use your CC spells here and the fight will be much easier. After killing pythas keep on moving and following the left wall. You will be in a room with a lot of pillars, take the shortcut going straight right after this instead of turning left. Both ways will get you by however. You will head down to a wet section, and shortly after it come to the pen with Skum in it. Kill his 2 guards and fight him for a chance at a good rogue cloak, or at least a decent dagger. Head on out of this room sticking to the left and you will go through a room that has a lot of wandering mobs. If you want you can sneak past most in the room and almost all if you use mind soothe. After this room there will be a short and easy jump. You can even run off the ledge and land if you do it in the right spot, however if you fall you have a long run to get back.

Now you are in the final stretch, just kill a few mobs while walking up this ledge to Lord Serpentis. You can fight Serpentis solo when he patrols out closest to you. Again like all the Fanglords he is an easy fight. Clear the rest of his room before taking on Verdun. Unlike the fanglords, Verdun is a difficult fight. Good healing power is advised, either a good priest, or a druid/shaman combo. He hits for 200-300 on tank types, so you really don't want to have him attacking the lightly armored types. His attack rate is slow, so if you keep up with heals he shouldn't surprise you much, just heal the tank after every single attack. Once you manage to kill the Everliving you need to return to the start of the zone, luckily they have installed a high dive in the hole right behind Verdun. Jumping in there will take you back to the river section near the beginning.

Head back to the zone in and talk to the Druid of Naralex now that you have killed all the Fanglords and he will go to perform a ritual to wake Naralex. You have a short and easy escort, he will stop at some of the torch circles and some creeps spawn, but nothing should be too difficult. He will even attempt to sleep adds. Just keep an eye on him and peel off any aggro he gets. Eventually he will lead you to Naralex and you have to defend him from a few attacks before Naralex wakes. First you have 3 elite snakes, CC as needed and kill these off. Next you will get 6 or so non elite slimes. AoE if you can, but again it shouldn't be a problem.

Finally in comes Mutanus the Devourer a giant Murloc. He has 2 special attacks a Fear and a Sleep attack. The fear is very short duration and there is nothing nearby to aggro, so it shouldn't cause much problem. The sleep cannot be cancelled by tremor totem so can cause some problems without a priest. However the sleep makes you hostile to your party members, use this to your advantage by having someone hit you to wake you up whenever he puts you to sleep. Remember to loot the item he drops to start the next quest. You need to talk to the goblin in ratchet, then you can turn it in to a Tauren on top of the mountain wailing caverns is in.

Thats it, you've done a full wailing caverns run and it should have taken about 100-150 minutes if you didn't have any wipeouts.

Hunter (World of Warcraft)

Xibalba: Added clarification for learning new pet skills

Azeroth is home to a wide variety of beasts. From the new world of Lordaeron to the old world of Kalimdor, all manner of creatures can be found. Some are friendly, some are ferocious - yet they all have one thing in common. Each creature shares a special connection with Hunters. Hunters track, tame, and slay all manner of animals and beasts found in the wild. Whether they rely on bows or firearms, Hunters consider their weapons and pets to be their only true friends.

One of the easier characters to solo with, especially after lv 10 when one is able to charm a pet. This is meant to be a beginning, so any players that have had experiences with higher level ranged hunters, (rangers), (mine was only lv 23), feel free to add aditional info. Also do not be afraid to disagree on some of my impressions, point here being to give input about the class.

[http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/spelllist.html?class=Hunter Hunter Spell List]

'''Outdoorsmanship'''

Raptor Strike - My main close combat skill, a last resort kinda thing if I drew too much aggro. More often then not, by the time the monster had gotten to me, one whirl from RS was enough to kill it.
Wing Clip - PvP skill, with talent investment able to make target imovable for 3 seconds.
Disengage - Fair chanse of changing aggro to another target. Good when pulling in instances for instance.

'''Beast mastery'''

Aspect of the Monkey - Main aspect when in close quarters, gives % to dodge.

Aspect of the Hawk - Main aspect when ranged skills. Increases ranged attack power.

Aspect of the Cheetah - Good when low lv for transportation. (For instance the trek from Darkshore to IF/SW).

Aspect of the Beast - Makes you show up as a beast on other hunters' tracking.

Eagle Eye - Good for scouting crowded areas, to see which mobs one can pull. Tip: To turn it off, just sit down (Type "X")

Revive Pet,
Feed Pet,
Tame Beast,
Train Pet - All these are mandatory if you have a pet. You get these for free through the 2 hunter quests the hunter trainer will give you at level 10. The first quest is to tame (charm) 3 particular animals, and the second quest (that gives you feed pet) asks you to visit a pet trainer.

Mend pet is great! It has saved my butt several times when I've been waiting for FA timer etc. That way your pet can tank, and even kill monsters that might kill you, while you build life. Necessary prereq for "Spirit Bond", (talent that tranfers pet hits to 20 life for it's master. ).

Track skills: -Track Humanoids, Beasts, Elementals, Undead etc. works well. I usually stay with Track Humanoids when travelling through contested areas with heavy enemy influence, Find Ore/Deposits in pretty safe areas. Track Hidden does not work at all.

A list of tameable pets is listed on the WoW Community forums [http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-hunter&t=155&p=1&tmp=1#post155 here].

Note! You will get rank 2 Growl, (a pet skill that makes mobs more aggressive towards your pet), for free. Higher ranks of growl can be learned from the [http://hunter.worldofwar.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=3&page=1 pet trainer], which in some towns hangs out with the Hunter trainer. The train pet skill is located in your general, (racial and so on), skill page. Train Pet will be available once the second hunter quest is completed.

In addition to Growl, pets can also learn Cower, Claw, and Bite. Different pets have different abilities, and you can learn them by stabling your "main" pet, taming a pet with the ability you want, and fighting with it for a while (you need to turn off the autocast and manually active the skill), until you've learned it (message in combat, or check your spellbook under Train Pet). Once you have learned a pet skill, that ability is available to train on your primary pet and all future pets. A list of which pets to tame for particular skills is [http://www.goodintentionsguild.info/hunters.html here].

Scare Beast - As there are a lot of mobs of the beast class, this may be a useful skill if ones resources are wearing thin, and or one wants to finish off another first.

'''Ranged attacks'''

Scorpid Sting - Good vs. physical attackers, (bow/gun/melee). Decreases agility/str for 20 seconds.

Serpent Sting - DOT, (Nature dmg), usually my third attack after Aimed- and Concussive- Shot. Some monster classes were immune.

Aimed Shot - Usually my opening shot. Adds 70 dmg to base at Rank 1. (Gained from talent tree).

Arcane Shot - Usually my fourth attack. Deals additional arcane dmg. Fires instantly.

Concussive Shot - Slows and stuns, (can add talent points to get 20% to stun).

Multi-Shot - Shoots up to three missilles. Demands tactical use to not draw too much attention to yourself. Not that vise to use solo.

Flare - Yet to be tested, will do so today.

Hunter's Mark - Great skill for party play! Shows which mob to pull next, (and adds ranged attack power). Awesome spell to tag Rogues with in PvP.

'''Talents'''

Keep in mind any skills you may want at the top of the talent tree. Most builds focus on heavy Marksmanship investment to get Trueshot Aura, or heavy Beast Mastery to get Spirit Bond. Investing in Survival is wise if you plan to do a lot of PvP, since you won't be able to rely on keeping attackers at range, but the top skill (Lacerate) is generally seen as not worth the investment, so that frees up points to use in the other trees. You can use [http://wowvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Talents.View&category_select_id=11 this page] to plan your talents.

'''Role in party:'''

Hunters mark, pulling, Concussive Shot, draw aggro with pet, (Growl). In addition to general damage dealing of course. If caster class accompanied with grunts, I found out that while rest of the party took care of the meleers, I'd send my pet to engage the caster, this seemed to work pretty well. [http://www.nuklearpower.com/hunter.php This] is an interesting article on party placement during pulls.

'''Soloing:'''

I usually scout/check area thoroughly first, if sure I will not draw aggro from several I send my pet to draw aggro with Growl, while he approaches I throw Hunters Mark. Then as mentioned above use a sequence of shots. The time it takes to build Aimed Shot is usually enough to stick monster to pet for the duration until kill. Some situations require one to pull first before engaging pet, usually it's wise not to use skills that causes great dmg then, so it is possible to derail aggro over to pet.

===PvP Talent Build (Marksmanship/Survival/Beast Mastery) - Sjur===

Note! This build is adjusted for playing on the PvP server, and I've not taken chance to hit into consideration, (regarding talents that give % to hit, (attack power). Hopefully some input regarding hitting warriors/paladins will be posted somewhere soon.

Improved Aspect of the Hawk - 5/5 points
Increases the Ranged Attack Power bonus of your Aspect of the Hawk by 20%.

Blackfathom Deeps

2005-02-12T00:24:21Z

Xibalba: corrected the location of the knowledge in the deeps manuscript

Blackfathom Deeps is an instance on the Zoram Strand of Ashenvale in the Northwest. The level range for mobs in the instance is 20-29. A recommended level range for this group would be 25-30. This instance is medium length taking about 75-145 minutes depending on group levels and how much you skip.

== Walkthrough ==
First off Blackfathom Deeps is located underneath some ruins in the north along the Zoram Strand. The Zoram Strand is the beach in the far Northwest of Ashenvale. Horde have an outpost in the south of the Zoram Strand and can get there quickly. Once you get to the ruins you will see a winding staircase going to water filled ruins at the bottom. You swim under the water into a cave full of Satyrs and Naga. In this pre instance cave are there are some quests you can do while waiting for the whole group to show up. However these creatures are elite and you will have some pulls of 2 so it might be too tough to solo depending on level. As you go along the cave you will eventually come to the instance portal. There are a few dead ends but the cave is pretty straightforward.

As you zone in you will be greeted by some neutral crabs and further along some hostile Makura along the waters edge. Fight your way to the water and swim to the other side. Here you will have to do a series of jumps with a difficult jump or 2 in there. If you miss a jump along these ruins you can swim back and try again. Once past this little jumping puzzle you will have a few murlocs along the path leading up to the turtle section. The turtle section is an island surrounded by a ring of water. Walk to the island and battle the first boss Ghamoo-ra the turtle. None of the other non-hostile turtles should add, but be carefull with AoE skills like Demoralizing shout and Frost Nova. Like all turtles this guy has super high armor but goes down fast to casters. Once you have slain Ghamoo-ra you have another boss nearby.

Just to the west of the entryway to the large room there is an alcove along the northern arc of the wall. In the alcove, at the bottom of the water, is a chest for the Knowledge in the Deeps quest.

Swim to the north-west underwater to a secret cave guarded by naga to find Lady Sarevess. Fight a few naga to clear the way to her and defeat her as well. She is a pretty easy fight, easier than the turtle IMO.

After killing her you can get a quest from an Argent Dawn member in another secret cave. Swim out of the naga cave and follow the wall south till you find another underwater passage leading to the cave with this Argent Dawn member. He will give you a quest to kill the leader of the Twilight Hammer deeper in the instance. After getting that quest continue out the northern exit of the turtle room.

Out here you will be back in a cave system full of naga and satyrs. Be warned some satyrs are stealthed so it can be hard to guage how many you are pulling when you cannot see all the creeps. Also you might find a chest somewhere in this area. It is not long before the path comes to a sharp Y instersection with the left path leading to murlocs. Back there with the murlocs you will find Gelihast a dual wielding murloc warrior. That path dead ends, but you can clear it and pull him for some good warrior drops, or maybe a 10 slot bag. After killing the murlocs head in the only direction you haven't gone yet, the other direction at the Y intersection.

It will put you in a room with a few short dead ends to the North and East. However Lorgus Jett for the Allegiance to the Old Gods (Horde) quest is down one of those paths. Also a treasure chest can be found in this area too. After killing Jett and/or getting your chest continue on down this path a bit and find the Twilight Hammer guarding some old ruins. Before we get to exploring the ruins there is a boss we can reach by swimming under the ruins to the north. As you swim north you will pass the Fathom Core underneath the ruins for a horde quest. If you have the quest and click the core a boss will spawn, so be prepared and only click the core when everyone is ready. The boss is a giant water elemental so is cold immune and deals all magic damage so armor means nothing, although Dampen Magic can help. After passing the core you will find an underwater passage to a large room to the north. You can see it on your minimap if you are having trouble finding it. In this room is Ol' Serrakis a giant thresher with an AoE lifetap. At lower levels the lifetap can make this fight very tough, but with good DPS you proboably wont even notice it. If you are having trouble back as many people off him as possible and attack him from range.

After killing Serrakis back up to where you entered the water and start into the ruins. After going down the stairs into the ruins just stick to the right and take the first path to the right going out. However you might see a treasure chest down one of the other paths, it is usually locked but if you see it feel free to clear the path to it. Ok so you went in and took the first right you are now on a bridge like structure that leads into a large building. Fight along the bridge until you reach the building. Inside is Twilight Lord Kelris, however the room is full of warlocks and elementalists and you might have some difficult pulls here because they do not like to be pulled to the hallway outside. Once you clear the room it is safe to attack Kelris. He casts a PBAoE sleep so dispel classes should be out of melee range, or if you have a shaman tremor totem can help. I believe he can charm a player as well, but solo he is a very easy fight and goes down like many of the casters in the game. With him dead you are very close to Aku'mai all you need to do is get that big door in the back open.

To open the door you need to light the 4 torches around the statue. Each time you light a torch some monsters will spawn and run to the center of the room. The non elites are best handled with AoE spells, while you should try to CC the elites as best you can. There can be some difficult fights here and you should make sure you don't spawn 2 waves at one time or you could be overwhelmed. After fighting your way through waves of enemies the doors will open leaving the path to Aku'Mai the hydra a short one. Go down this path and clear any other hostile spawns in the room before battling him. You might need to wait for him to path to the back of the room before you can clear the room out. However once cleared you can rush in and attack him. He is a tough melee fighter and your healer will be busy with heals, but he doesn't have any tricky attacks to worry about, just keep the tank alive and waste him with your DPS classes.

After killing Aku'Mai you can click the altar in the back of the room to receive a teleport to outside the instance. There is also a Dwarf that spawns after the battle. Alliance toons can talk to the Dwarf and be ported to Darnassus.

Xibalba: /* Current Basinia Residents: */

I thought this was an ideal project to test the functionality of the wiki. We are trying to figure out how many ACTIVE players we have on the city roster in SWG to make sure we don't lose our Metro status if/when SOE purges.

I'm missing 4 names (my list has 106, ingame shows 110 residents, but for the life of me, I can't figure out who I've missed.) The first step here is to verify everyone's status and I've started with the ones I know about. If you aren't comfortable mucking with the table, just add your notes to the bottom and I'll update it. Once we KNOW who is still playing we can go from there.

Just an FYI regarding Gwardolind (Maclaird) - the account actually is paid until December 17th, and I'm taking care of Gward's house "just in case" (not to mention to have a little extra storage space :)). So if SOE holds true to their 6 month rule, Gwardolind will remain a resident for a few months to come. --Stash

Just a couple of more notes based on having seen people in game - I'm pretty sure you can mark Atrim and Sla as active. I see Atrim regularly, and I know Sla is still playing. Kautan is on almost daily. I saw Saira pop up on my flist the other day, might wanna ask RC to be certain. Bardesol is playing on another server currently, so there's no chance his account will lapse, and I'm still making him drag Reyna back on an occasional basis to make sure structures don't poof. --Stash

Just a couple of more notes based on having seen people in game - I'm pretty sure you can mark Atrim and Sla as active. I see Atrim regularly, and I know Sla is still playing. Kautan is on almost daily. I saw Saira pop up on my flist the other day, might wanna ask RC to be certain. Bardesol is playing on another server currently, so there's no chance his account will lapse, and I'm still making him drag Reyna back on an occasional basis to make sure structures don't poof. --Stash

== Walkthrough ==
First off Blackfathom Deeps is located underneath some ruins in the north along the Zoram Strand. The Zoram Strand is the beach in the far Northwest of Ashenvale. Horde have an outpost in the south of the Zoram Strand and can get there quickly. Once you get to the ruins you will see a winding staircase going to water filled ruins at the bottom. You swim under the water into a cave full of Satyrs and Naga. In this pre instance cave are there are some quests you can do while waiting for the whole group to show up. However these creatures are elite and you will have some pulls of 2 so it might be too tough to solo depending on level. As you go along the cave you will eventually come to the instance portal. There are a few dead ends but the cave is pretty straightforward.

As you zone in you will be greeted by some neutral crabs and further along some hostile Makura along the waters edge. Fight your way to the water and swim to the other side. Here you will have to do a series of jumps with a difficult jump or 2 in there. If you miss a jump along these ruins you can swim back and try again. Once past this little jumping puzzle you will have a few murlocs along the path leading up to the turtle section. The turtle section is an island surrounded by a ring of water. Walk to the island and battle the first boss Ghamoo-ra the turtle. None of the other non-hostile turtles should add, but be carefull with AoE skills like Demoralizing shout and Frost Nova. Like all turtles this guy has super high armor but goes down fast to casters. Once you have slain Ghamoo-ra you have another boss nearby.

Swim to the east underwater to a secret cave guarded by naga to find Lady Sarevess. Fight a few naga to clear the way to her and defeat her as well. She is a pretty easy fight, easier than the turtle IMO. After killing her you can get a quest from an Argent Dawn member in another secret cave. Swim out of the naga cave and follow the wall north till you find another underwater passage leading to the cave with this Argent Dawn member. He will give you a quest to kill the leader of the Twilight Hammer deeper in the instance. After getting that quest continue out the northern exit of the turtle room.

Out here you will be back in a cave system full of naga and satyrs. Be warned some satyrs are stealthed so it can be hard to guage how many you are pulling when you cannot see all the creeps. Also you might find a chest somewhere in this area. It is not long before the path comes to a sharp Y instersection with the one end leading to murlocs. Back there with the murlocs you will find Gelihast a dual wielding murloc warrior. That path dead ends, but you can clear it and pull him for some good warrior drops, or maybe a 10 slot bag. After killing the murlocs head in the only direction you haven't gone yet, the other direction at the Y intersection.

It will put you in a room with a few short dead ends to the North and East. However Lorgus Jett for the Allegiance to the Old Gods (Horde) quest is down one of those paths. Also a treasure chest can be found in this area too. After killing Jett and/or getting your chest continue on down this path a bit and find the Twilight Hammer guarding some old ruins. Before we get to exploring the ruins there is a boss we can reach by swimming under the ruins to the north. As you swim north you will pass the Fathom Core underneath the ruins for a horde quest. If you have the quest and click the core a boss will spawn, so be prepared and only click the core when everyone is ready. The boss is a giant water elemental so is cold immune and deals all magic damage so armor means nothing, although Dampen Magic can help. After passing the core you will find an underwater passage to a large room to the north. You can see it on your minimap if you are having trouble finding it. In this room is Ol' Serrakis a giant thresher with an AoE lifetap. At lower levels the lifetap can make this fight very tough, but with good DPS you proboably wont even notice it. If you are having trouble back as many people off him as possible and attack him from range.

After killing Serrakis back up to where you entered the water and start into the ruins. After going down the stairs into the ruins just stick to the right and take the first path to the right going out. However you might see a treasure chest down one of the other paths, it is usually locked but if you see it feel free to clear the path to it. Ok so you went in and took the first right you are now on a bridge like structure that leads into a large building. Fight along the bridge until you reach the building. Inside is Twilight Lord Kelris, however the room is full of warlocks and elementalists and you might have some difficult pulls here because they do not like to be pulled to the hallway outside. Once you clear the room it is safe to attack Kelris. He casts a PBAoE sleep so dispel classes should be out of melee range, or if you have a shaman tremor totem can help. I believe he can charm a player as well, but solo he is a very easy fight and goes down like many of the casters in the game. With him dead you are very close to Aku'mai all you need to do is get that big door in the back open.

To open the door you need to light the 4 torches around the statue. Each time you light a torch some monsters will spawn and run to the center of the room. The non elites are best handled with AoE spells, while you should try to CC the elites as best you can. There can be some difficult fights here and you should make sure you don't spawn 2 waves at one time or you could be overwhelmed. After fighting your way through waves of enemies the doors will open leaving the path to Aku'Mai the hydra a short one. Go down this path and clear any other hostile spawns in the room before battling him. You might need to wait for him to path to the back of the room before you can clear the room out. However once cleared you can rush in and attack him. He is a tough melee fighter and your healer will be busy with heals, but he doesn't have any tricky attacks to worry about, just keep the tank alive and waste him with your DPS classes.

After killing Aku'Mai you can click the altar in the back of the room to receive a teleport to outside the instance. I believe there is a chest here for Knowledge in the Deeps an Alliance quest.

Rogue Talents

Xibalba: linked to the build, feel free to change this

This page is formatted with rogue talents listed by skill and tier. Comments follow talents in italics.

'''Builds''' 
* [[Group Rogue template]]

==Assassination==

===Tier 1 - Improved Eviscerate/Malice/Remorseless Attacks===

'''Improved Eviscerate'''

Increases Eviscerate damage by 5% per rank for up to 3 ranks 
''This is a key Talent in many builds. 15% more damage to your most used Finishing move and you cannot go wrong.''

'''Malice'''

Increases your critical strike chance by 1% per rank for each of 5 ranks 
''This is a great Talent for builds where critical hits are important.'' 
''If you're considering Dagger Spec, get this first - it does the same thing, but isn't restricted to daggers'' - Malaclypse

'''Remorseless Attacks'''

After killing an opponent that yields experience, gives 8% critical strike chance per rank for each of 5 ranks on your next Sinister Strike, Backstab, Ambush, or Ghostly Strike 
''This is useful when you are killing a large number of relatively weak enemies.''

===Tier 2 - Improved Slice and Dice/Murder/Ruthlessness===

'''Improved Slice and Dice'''

Prereq: 5 pts in Assassination

Increases duration of Slice and Dice by 15% per rank for each of 3 ranks 
''This is of very limited use. The default duration of Slice and Dice seems to be just fine.''

'''Murder'''

Prereq: 5 pts in Assassination

Increases chance to hit with Sap, Ambush, Garrote, or Cheap Shot by 3% for 1 rank or 5% for 2 ranks 
''This is quite useful. You want a high chance of your openers hitting.''

'''Ruthlessness'''

Prereq: 5 pts in Assassination

Gives your finishing moves a 20% chance per rank for each of 5 ranks to add a combo point to your target. 
''Another good one. More combo points means faster finishers for more damage.''

===Tier 3 - Lethality/Improved Expose Armor/Relentless Strikes===

'''Lethality'''

Prereqs: 5 pts in Malice, 10 pts in Assassination

Increases critical strike damage of Sinister Strike, Gouge, Backstab, Ambush, Ghostly Strike, or Hemorrhage by 6% per rank for each of 5 ranks 
''Very very useful. Rogue crits are in the 75-200% extra damage range. Rogue crits seem to happen about 10% of the time at the default rate. Mix that with crit chance boosting Talents and you can do monster damage.''

'''Improved Expose Armor'''

Prereq: 10 pts in Assassination

Increases armor reduction of Expose Armor by 15% per rank for up to 3 ranks 
''Expose Armor has limited use as it does not stack with the Warrior armor class reduction talent. You have better things to spend both combo points and Talent points. Give this one a pass.''

'''Relentless Strikes'''

Prereqs: 3 pts in Ruthlessness, 10 pts in Assassination

Finishing moves have a 20% chance per combo point to restore 25 energy

'''Improved Instant Poison'''

Prereq: 15 pts in Assassination

Increases chance to apply Instant Poison by 2% per rank for up to 5 ranks

'''Vile Poisons'''

Prereq: 15 pts in Assassination

Increases damage dealt by your poisons by 3% per rank for up to 5 ranks

'''Cold Blood'''

Prereq: 20 pts in Assassination 
Instant cast 
3 minute cooldown

Prereq: 20 pts in Assassination

Reduces cooldown of Kidney Shot by 2s/4s/5s for ranks 1/2/3

''Almost every Rogue should have this Talent. There are very very few builds that will not have this. You will probably use this skill more any other skill. Making it cheaper is good buy it first.''
