[40E] High Inquisitor Fairbanks

Tactics for Fairbanks: Just kill him like normal Elite. He can Heal himself, thats all. To get to him we have to click a lantern.

Drops of Fairbanks:

Dusty Mail Boots
9.0 41 Mail Feet 2809 38.5% 2

Inquisitor’s Shawl
15.5 41 Cloth Shoulder 2375 32.6% 2

Branded Leather Bracers
11.0 41 Leather Wrist 2049 28.1%

[40E] High Inquisitor Whitemane

Tactics for Whitemane: Whitemane and Mograine have to be killed in the same fight. Check the tactics for Mograine!

Drops of Whitemane:

Triune Amulet
21.0 44 Neck 2344 36.7% 3
Whitemane’s Chapeau
37.0 44 Cloth Head 2327 36.4% 3
Hand of Righteousness
18.6 44 Mace Main Hand 1226 19.2%

[40E] Scarlet Commander Mograine

Tactics for Mograine and Whitemane: First of all we have to kill EVERYTHING in the Cathedral before pulling Mograine and Whitemane. If we just kill the guys leading to him, and pull him, when he yells, every other crusader in the building will charge at us along with him.  Once we kill Mograine the doors behind him will open and out will come High Inquisitor Whitemane. She’s pissed off that we killed the Commander. She is a priest type person, and will cast mainly smite for damage. When she gets down to about 1/3rd health she will stun everyone in the group and run over to Mograine’s body. She will then cast a spell that resurrects him. She then heals to full life. Then we fight the two together, starting with the High Inquisitor because she deals more damage with her spells and heals.

If we kill Whitemane before she can res Mograine, we will get no loot from them. So we have to make sure she does!

Drops of Mograine:

Aegis of the Scarlet Commander
22.0 44 Shield Off Hand 2968 40.7% 3
Gauntlets of Divinity
23.0 44 Mail Hands 1345 18.5% 3
Mograine’s Might
243 44 Mace Two-Hand 1280 17.6% 3
Scarlet Leggings

Quests for the dungeon

[37E] Harod 

Tactics for Harod: When we first reach Harods room, like with all bosses, make sure everyone is full Health/Mana, and everyone has all buffs. 

Padme has to jump down to Herod and let her engage the fight, all other shouldn’t start doing the damage right away, let Padme do some threat Damage and then start doing the damage. This is because Herod really hits heavy, al others should stay alert and don’t grab his aggro, because Healyum will quickly run out of mana for you. We have to stay in the ground, don’t use the stairs! Also don’t go outside the room, because you will agro 4 Elites that spaned as adds in another room, we can’t handel Harod when they are around.

Herod only has 2 abilities, one of them is really important:
- When he yells “Blades of Light!” EVERYONE stop doing damage to him and back off from his range, he will engage in a spinning move that will eat your HP like a fat kid on pie. While he’s spinning, no one can damage him, so don’t try. Take advantage of this though, he will stop for a few seconds for this attack and as long you are away from him, you can use bandages if needed and save Healyum some mana.
- His other ability (you can’t really do anything about it) is when he yells “Light give me strength!” he will enrage (something like Blood Fury) and do even more damage, he will only use this later in the fight.

Herod has over 10k of HP, and he is partially immune to fire so Fuegotte won’t do as much damage as normal. It will be a long fight.

When we finally down him, loot him immediately and roll fast, the room will get flooded by lvl 20 peasants who only have 100 hp. They are quite easy to kill, just concentrate around one place so Fuegotte can use a AoE. They will die fast enough.

Drops of Harod:

Raging Berserker’s Helm
35.0 42 Mail Head 3057 38.3% 3
Herod’s Shoulder
21.0 42 Mail Shoulder 2228 27.9% 3
Ravager
201 42 Axe Two-Hand 1265 15.9% 3

Scarlet Leggings
30.0 43 Mail Legs 964 12.1%

TODO’s before entering the dungeon

Just go there and get the boss, check the tactics above.

This dungeon will be the first real test for us as a group because any mistake here may cause the group to wipe. The dungeon must be cleared with care, since fleeing humanoids can easily pull lots of other mob groups.

So maybe we get a chance to test Padme’s wipe prevention ability. ;-)

[36] Test of Lore From Parqual Fintallas in Undercity.

The quest itself is very easy. We have to pick up a book from the library. The hard part here is the long chain of pre-requisite quest we have to pick up. See the ‘Todo’s before…’ below for more information. When we finaly turn this quest back in, we have to answer a question. The answer to the question is: “Ner’zhul” (Option 3). Then we have to turn in the last quest in Thousand Needles to get our reward.

TODO’s before entering the dungeon

First we can pick up the quest [38] Compendium of the Fallen  in Thunder Bluff. Second step is to get de questchain done for [36] Test of Lore. Here it is:

  1. Pickup [26] Test of Faith from Dorn Plainstalker in Thousand Needles
  2. DON’T jump yet… if we do we’ll die. Instead, turn around and find the planks slightly behind us and to the left. From there we jump…..   it realy is a test of faith. ;)  Almost as soon as we have JUMPED off the edge, we’ll see “Quest Completed”. About 75 percent of the way down we’ll be teleported back where the guy will reward us.
  3. Now we can get the follow up [30] Test of Endurance.
  4. Get to 27,49 and kill Grenka, easy as hell. Not realy a test of endurance.
  5. Turn the quest back in and get [30] Test of Strength and kill Rok’Alim allong the south side of Thousand Needles (between 11,22 and 26,42)
  6. The followup [30] Test of Lore brings us to Braug Dimspirit in Stonetalon Mountains (76,74). Here we have to pick up a book in his cave, answer a question (Answer is Neltharion option 2)
  7. Now we have to go to Undercity and talk to Parqual Fintallas who will give us the dungeon quest [36] Test of Lore

Now that we are in Undercity we can pick up the other 1or 2 quests.
