WARLOCK EPIC MOUNT QUEST

To put all questions and worries to rest.

Comprehensive materials list:
35 Black Dragonscales <NEED - Bumhug>
25 Dark Iron Ore (not bars, sorry) <I Have 23 of 25>
6 Large Brilliant Shards <NEED - Bumhug>
10 Elixirs of Shadow Power <I Have 9/30 Ghost mushrooms - Bumhug>
3 Arcanite Bars <NEED - Bumhug>
406 Gold

Walkthrough:

Talk to trainer in Org or UC to get sent to the Altar of Storms in the Burning Steppes. There you will be given 2 quests. To speak to Lord Banehollow in Jaedanar and to get 30 raging beast's blood from owlbeasts in Winterspring.

1) Banehollow - He is at the very back of Shadow Hold. Make sure to buy a stack of potions before you leave the altar of storms to make jadenar friendly to you. Head to the very back of shadow hold and banehollow will give you a simple quest to kill a level 58 who also brings a couple level 58 adds. Do it with a buddy or any other nearby warlocks and you'll be fine. Return to Jaedenar and he will sell you the stardust you need for a mere 150g.

2) Owlbeasts - Go to Winterspring and kill -any- owlbeast for the blood. Drop rate is about 30-40% near as I can figure. <COMPLETED Bumhug>

Return to the Altar of Storms in BS to get another series of quests. This is where you will need all the materials listed above.

Your next quest sends you to Scholomance. You must reach the Alchemy Lab in the room with Ras Frostwhisper in a 5 man group. This took us a couple hours and was by far the most annoying/tedious part of the quest, but those of you used to 5 manning scholo shouldnt have a problem. If you're really in a hurry you only need to clear the patrols and the first group of mobs on the right to be able to sneak in and release your imp near the tables and get credit.

Once again you will return to the Altar in burning steppes where you will have to buy 3 more items for 150g, 50g, and 50g. One of the items starts the quest, one of the items is used during the initial part of the Dire Maul event and one is used to summon the dreadsteed. Doesnt really matter which is which, cuz you need em all.

EDIT: While both warlocks in our group had the items, I was the only one who was activating quest events but the other warlock still got credit, so that makes me fairly sure that only one of the warlocks needs to spend the final 250g on the 3 quest items. Both warlocks will still definitely need to spend the 156g on the potion and stardust and be on that step of the quest though.

Head to the west wing of Dire Maul and proceed to clear the pylons and open the way to Immol'thar. Kill the big dog then med up and activate your jar that starts the quest. The Imp will set up a wheel, candle and bell. Do not start this event without at least 15 soulshards in your inventory as you will need to use many during the battle.

During the battle, the candle will deal damage to all enemies within the ring, the wheel will reduce damage taken by your group inside the ring and the bell will heal people inside the ring constantly. You, as the warlock, must keep all 3 of these working. When you see one stop working you can fix it by moving to it and right clicking it which will also expend a soulshard. If you run out of shards it is game over.

You must keep the things working while waves of demons come. They are of 2 varieties. Non-elite cannon fodder imps and elite felguard type demons. The imps are not much to worry about unless they are interrupting you trying to fix one of the parts of the ring so just keep their aggro off you and the candle will take care of them. Aggresively take out the elite felguard mobs as they spawn and use banish and/or enslave as necessary to keep from getting overwhelmed. Having 2 warlocks along for this part is not a bad idea (we had a warrior, mage, 2 warlocks and priest when we did it - yes both warlocks got credit).

Once you've been at it for awhile all the demons will disappear (when banish wears off those demons will disappear and so will enslaved demons when you cancel enslave). At this point you should med up and then summon the dreadsteed. The steed is a 61 elite that hits pretty hard and has a very powerful knockback attack. It is joined by a 62 elite dreadlord (the one you're stealing the mount from) who will sleep members of your group but doesnt hit especially hard. Try to stay within the circle during this fight as its benefits will still apply. Once the dreadsteed dies, a spirit will pop up that you can speak to. Speaking to it will complete your quest and teach you to summon the dreadsteed.

they gave us shaman a new quest that requires a bunch of stuff I have never heard of before - an i have no idea what the reward will be...
Looks like we need to be doing 5 man instance runs several times a week now...

There are specific epic mounts for each class? not just by race?

Hopefully you get a choice of epic mounts as well so that when everyone is 60 that not everyone is going to have the same mount?

Warlocks and Paladins have special mounts, special in the fact they are quest based instead of $$$ based, however there is no variance in appearance of our mounts.

im a lil bummed about the priest epic weapon. apparently its only an epic drop from kazzak and an epic from from majordomo's chest in MC. no biggie. :eek:

Just don't pick a stupid tauren because they don't get anything but those stupid kodos to ride.

I hate them.

AND this is a stupid game.

AND I hate Blizzard.

Just in case I haven't mentioned that lately.

Murrie
04-21-2005, 11:28 AM
im not bummed butress, if it wasnt hard it wouldnt be epic!

butress
04-21-2005, 11:55 AM
oh i know. the reason im bummed is that "bad luck" is a passive talent on my specific character. so somthing like this that is a rare drop, for someone in a small guild, and i'd have to probably roll against 7 other priests to get a shot at it... twice. well... it seems pretty impossible for someone with the kind of luck this game has assigned me. :)

its no biggie. my charstone dirk will pwn onyxia. you just wait and see. :p

I think I have some dark iron ore on Mileab but not sure how much. Will send it over tonight. If you wanna hit BRD this week we can go get some more for you too.

butress

woot. i have alli luck. alliance = pwnt. phear my epic stavf.

btw. lots of you mOOks are from IL, I see. what up. Manhattan/New Lenox/Frankfort here. peace out

Aasimon
04-21-2005, 01:29 PM
That'd be awesome Mileab.

I check the auction house for Black dragon scales, Large Shardys, and Dark iron and its all out of my current price range. Looks like Instances for me!!!

butress
04-21-2005, 02:02 PM
you may or may not know this... but ill offer it up anyway.

couple things that could help you get shards.... greens over 51 have a slight chance to drop from disenchant and blue items 51+ drop them every time.

An additional way to possibly get the shard is to check your instance group for an enchanter and mebbe see if they are willing to roll for the shard from greed loot as opposed to the vendor item. large shards have been relatively low in price (4g or so) but im sure that is subject to change. esp with the new focus on pvp and less on instances.

like i said.. you probably know all this. but. pants.

Riddick
04-21-2005, 02:06 PM
I'm just right over in Richton Park/Park Forest/University Park Butress. I think Mileab lives on south side too?

Whatever you guys need to farm, just let me know and I will be more then happy to bring Ridd out. I love farming with guildies but will never ever see me in a pickup group again with my warrior.

Aasimon
04-21-2005, 02:35 PM
I could get those black dragon scales relatively easy If I can convince a skinner to follow me around one evening. Unless these scales are drop only. Shards were about the only thing affordable from that whole mix. I am 300 herbalism/300 alchemy so the alchemical portions are attainable.

Miles
04-21-2005, 02:41 PM
No I live in w/sw suburbs about 17 miles from the loop. Bum if you need a skinner let me know. I will bring my agro magnet out there for you. Mile is a skinner but being L37 I might get us killed a few times.


Also I have 8 Dark Iron Ore in the bank and will shoot it over to you.

Aasimon
04-21-2005, 02:47 PM
Thanks Mil.. hey but look at the bright side... your aggro magnet will get loads of HKills sticking with Bumhug.

Riddick

I got a couple dark iron as well, only a few but welcome to them. Is the arcanite transmute a special drop recipe to get?

Miles
04-21-2005, 02:56 PM
No you can buy the recipe for 5g from the alchemy supply guy in Gadget. Have fun running in there at night without getting ganked though.

I already have all my transmute recipes, including aracanite. Just have no clue about how to transmute and what i need other than the recipe to transmute.

Thanks to you too Riddick.

transmutes require a certain item and the philosophers stone (permanent item to have in inventory in order to do transmuting)

from what i know, the arcanite transmute takes a thorium bar and an arcane crystal. it has a 2 day cooldown as well.

You can sell transmutes to lots of stuff as well, the arcanite Xmute goes for like 3-5g i think. :)

Sandotha in our guild is an herbalist alchemist if you have any specific questions in game.

SWEET! I have the philosophers stone recipe, so all i need is those components, a few thorium bars, and 6 days. Sweet thanks for the info.

dude i can totally help you out, i have my stone already but havnt ever transmuted anything...

butress
04-21-2005, 04:56 PM
NOOBS!!!!111eleven. ;)

i recommend it. like i said you can get all your arcanite done and start selling the xmutes as well. some nights when some dood wants his reaper, they are asking for like 9 xmutes or something.

there are essence transmutes as well.

a buddy of mine on another server made somewhere around 500g transmuting water to air before they added it as a drop in silithus a couple patches ago.

You get me 30 Ghost mushrooms and I'll craft that part of it for you.

You can find them easy at Skaulk Rock in the Hinterlands. Head in there and you should get 10 right off the bat... unless someone just harvested them on you. In which case you kill the stinky alb.

in that cave, there are three mushrooms and three mushrooms only, they respawn every 15 min. It is a good place to farm, especially if you are 60 because you can run aorund all the mobs. HOWEVER its slow.. and tedious. I hae also heard that there are lotsa ghost mushrooms outta East Diremaw.. and i remember being able to get a few outta Mauradon.

PS I will be updating my quantities of the materials by editing my first post here. I appreciate all the help from you lions.

04-22-2005, 10:17 AM
Imma need all that too when I get 60, so uhm Bum, why don't you just get double for me, mmmk.... Thanks ... :hump: :hump:

Morety
04-22-2005, 10:29 AM
I can recall 7 spawn points for ghost mushrooms in that cave. I spent a couple of levels in there.

If you plan on hitting the AH for these, they generally go for 1gp each.

Murrie
04-22-2005, 10:36 AM
1 gold per shroom??? holy fork! Im needed to go a flower farming!

butress
04-22-2005, 10:39 AM
dm east does have the shrooms and random weed drops on the vegative types that inhabit part of said instance area place.

I may be wrong on the spawn rate of the shrooms, but since warlocks need the shadow potions they have jumped up to about 3 gold per mushroom.

Before you start farming em for gold nab me 21 of em!!

Murrie
04-22-2005, 10:53 AM
I havnt ever used any in potions, i may have a bunch i the bank that I would be willing to sell for say 35 gold?

Morety
04-22-2005, 10:58 AM
The shadow pot's Aas is looking for will sell for 5gp each on the AH. Maybe more, but I figured the pots were 3 shrooms at a gold/piece, so I threw them up at 5gp figuring I know how to make them. They sold fast... and that was before the honor points kicked in.

Now, if I had them, I'd throw the shadow pots up for 7gp each and am pretty confident they'd sell.

Riddick
04-22-2005, 10:59 AM
I'll beat up Murr and take them from him to give to ya for 30g.

butress
04-22-2005, 10:59 AM
heh. i dont pick weeds myself. i just wait patiently while my pet rogue does.

i sew.

and dabble in the re-allocation of stat bonuses. :D

Riddick
04-22-2005, 11:01 AM
We don't have anyone in guild or alliance that knows Crusader do we? I got a orb but most of the ppl who do it in trade channel still want like 20g for the cast, bleh.

Murrie
04-22-2005, 11:03 AM
Dont think we have found that for Circe yet :(

Aasimon
04-22-2005, 11:10 AM
how about I give you a handjob for those mushrooms Murr?

butress
04-22-2005, 11:22 AM
its a tough farm for crusader enchant. rare drop in a pretty hot area of the plaguelands. i want to start farming it. but with pvp like it is now... i can only imagine how hard it would be.

Ivyrielle
04-22-2005, 09:06 PM
A guildie of mine on Warsong paid 200g for the Crusader enchant recipe.
