So, you want a specific elite? You have been looking for it and cannot find it? This guide is for you. I will show you the exact spawn spots so you can go there and just wait for them to spawn. I will focus on the elites that drop mounts and add more elites in the future. Alani It drops http://www.wowhead.c...y-cloud-serpent. The spawn time is 4h. Open the Vale of Eternal Blossoms map and head to the spot marked by the blue square: Alani is tricky. You would have to stand on the sword there to be able to pull it down and dps it. When you pull it down, just stand there and dps. Do not move at all. If you fall, it resets. Huolon It drops http://www.wowhead.c...x-cloud-serpent. The spawn time is 10m. Open the Timeless Isle map and head to the spot marked by the blue square: Note that there are plenty of mobs and an elite with high HP that you need to kill before pulling Huolon, or you die fast. Aeonaxx It drops http://www.wowhead.c...ent-stone-drake. The spawn time is 5h. Open the Deepholm map and head to the spot marked by the blue square (exact coords 44.9, 49): Note that Aeonaxx stands on the highest rock at that location in the sky. It does not move and just stands there on the rock. Fly up into the sky until you find the highest and largest rock that does not have any rock above it. Dormus the Camel-Hoarder It drops http://www.wowhead.c...ey-riding-camel(the only Camel currently acquirable) and also gives you the Camel-Hoarder title. The spawn time is 2h. Open the Feralas map and head to the spot marked by the blue square: This elite is quite tricky. It is bugged. So, the boss will show as dead always even when it is alive. How do you know if its alive? Simply, see if its standing or laying on its back. If it is standing then its alive. The loot on this boss is bugged. So, here is how you will deal with it. Before pulling the boss head to its left and keep moving on the shore until you find the only crab mob there. After that move Dormus near the mob. You will not be able to go all the way (mostly). Though, you can meet it half way. Kill Dormus then move to the crab mob and taunt it. I repeat taunt it with any of your spells that do not do damage. Keep running until the crab becomes near Dormus for AoE loot. Kill it then loot it. You will be able to loot the mount from Dormus now. Make sure you read this segment more than one time before you start. Poseidus It drops http://www.wowhead.c...ins-of-poseidus, the most wanted mount ingame. Few people know the spot for this elite and since it is BoE. People camp it always. It took me a while to find the spot since it is in a custom location (cannot be found on wowhead or other official databases). The spawn time is 24h. Open the Abyssal Depths map and head to the spot marked by the blue square (the exacts coords are 41.9, 75.8). When you go there you will find those elites named Devious Great-Eel near you with 223k HP. That is how you know you are in the right spot if you are not using a coords addon. Here is a photo to show you the exact spot where it stands: Like I said earlier, this is the most camped elite there is. Zandalari Warbringer It drops http://www.wowhead.c...ordial-direhorn. Spawn time from 5-10m. You can find the elites at the spots provided by this link: http://www.wowhead.c...lari-warbringer Note that the elites have high HP so you probably cannot solo this unless you are kiting which is not easy and takes a long time for you to kill the elite. Kael'thas Sunstrider It drops the http://www.wowhead.c...8/ashes-of-alar. You can find this boss inside the Tempest Keep raid. Though, there is an issue with it like the Dormus boss. The boss goes into the sky and it does not come down. So, go ahead and kill it when it is in air. After that, run as fast as you can to the nearest mob then taunt it. Do not kill it. Just aggro it and run back to the boss. Then, stand on the boss and kill the mob and loot the mob to see if the mount dropped or not. Notes: 1. The spawn times provided has 1-15m margin. So, add 1-15m to them. 2. If you see someone camping a spot for an elite especially the ones that drop items that can be farmed, just stand with them. They might know the exact time it will spawn. 3. The spawn locations I provided are the exact spawn locations and there are no alternatives to them. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. I have tested every single one of them. 4. Use the SimpleCoords v2.1 addon for coords provided. It is the best coords addon out there: http://www.wowinterf...=7816&aid=80881 I will be updating the guide adding new elites in the future and hence the unique items in the title. If you like the guide let me know.

This guide will help answer your questions regarding Darkshore 8.1. Note that Darkshore is currently buggy. Also, the elites/adds hit way too much than they should (from what I saw Youtube and experienced). Plus sometimes there are double spawns. So, you may want to team up with other players. I hope the developers change the damage modifiers for elites to 1/4 or even 1/3, of what they currently at. I also hope the developers fix the bugged items on Darkshore that disappear after use like pets. A. What is Darkshore (8.1) Darkshore is a new 8.1 map that allows you access to 355+ gear, mounts, pets, and toys. Note that the drop rate is very very low. So, if you are planning on gearing your char, do Arathi Highlands instead. http://us.forum.firestorm-servers.com/index.php?/topic/39528-bfa-fresh-level-120-guide-801/#comment-146576 B. How do I get to Darkshore 1. As alliance you can head to Stormwind docks, and find the deck with the ship that takes you to Darnassus. You will find a portal to Darnassus there. Use it, then move out of Darnassus, and finally fly to Darkshore. 2. Use the Mount Hyjal portal in Stormwind/Orgrimmar. Then, fly to Darkshore. 3. In the future, a quest will be available that will allow you to unlock the portal to Darkshore in Boralus/Zandalar (near the Arathi Highlands portal). C. I cannot find any players, what do I do You will find huge phasing issues in Darkshore. So, you would have to reset the phase from time to time. This can be accomplished by creating a "Premade Group" then leaving it. Do it whenever you feel you are all alone in Darkshore. Hopefully, those issues will be fixed in the future. D. I cannot find X elite, what do I do Sometimes elites do not spawn at all. Just move on. E. I found the X elite, but it is not attackable. Some elites become attackable during the week where your faction controls the map. Keep in mind that the world boss only becomes attackable when your faction is controlling the map. Currently, it is horde week. It will reset on Wednesday (tomorrow). F. How do I see the elites on map? You can accomplish this with addons. Download and install the following addons: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tomcats https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tomcats-tours-darkshore-rares Note: The addons are not Firestorm friendly. You will notice around 5 elites missing (when you are in Darkshore). When you open your quest log, click the new icon. Those missing elites are marked with red icons. Navigate to the following link, and read the first comment. It includes the coords to those missing ones. https://www.wowhead.com/npc=148787/alashanir#comments G. How do I ress when the button does not work? Log out and back, then click the button. If your corpse is gone and you cannot find it, use the spirit healer. H. Do the items actually drop? I have managed to get most of the pets, toys, and one mount so far. I got around 3 items after farming Darkshore elites on multiple characters (not worth the time). Keep in mind that some items disappear on use like: https://www.wowhead.com/item=166451/rattling-bones I have personally lost it after farming it on all my chars (a single drop). It was a very painful experience. So, you may want to hold on the items for now and not use them until they are fixed. I. Why cannot I see world quests? World quests are available only when your faction is controlling the map. Good luck.

So, you are new to the server and need gold fast. This guide is for you. The best way to get some money is farming stuff. Though, with you being new to the server. People will tell you that you need high level professions\toons to earn money. That is not true. I will share with you how I made around 30k gold within 2 days (few hours of gameplay) on my first toon here without any help from anyone. First of all, I learned mining and only farmed Copper Ore and smelted into bars then sold them on the auction house for 500g per stack. This is not much but it will help you get started and not ask anyone for money. You should check auction house prices and always undercut. You may sell Copper Bar stacks from 500-2000g depending on the AH prices. If you put the stacks at 500g they will sell really fast, though. After getting enough money to support yourself which is around 500-1000g buy some vendor bags from any of the main cities. Then, focus on one thing. Leveling up to level 40. After that you will go to low level dungeons and mass pull the mobs and kill them then loot gear only. Go to your bags and CTRL+Left Mouse Click the gear items. Keep only the items that look nice (visually) that are Bound on Equip. People pay a lot for those items because they use them for transmogs. Your cool looking items will sell for a lot of gold. Rate your items depending on how cool they look. If they are cool sell them for 1-2k. If they are super cool sell them for 3-5k. If they are awesome looking then try going higher. You can sell an awesome looking item for 10k believe it or not. Though, keep in mind that your prices should always be lower than AH. If you see more than 3 people selling your item at a low price just sell it lower than them or save it for later until it is no longer on the AH. It will take you around 2 hours to figure out how to deal with AH and sell your items at decent prices. Keep in mind that you can go higher or lower than the prices above depending on what you see on AH. Though, if you need the money you should always undercut (go lower than AH prices). By now you have enough money to buy anything you want that is necessary such as flying licenses and mounts. Now, you need to focus on one thing hitting level 58 then heading to Hellfire Peninsula. Now, you will level while farming mobs at the same time from the map. Do the same thing now, loot the corpses and get the gear items only. Though, this time you will keep all gear item drops no matter what their visual looks like. When you cannot carry anymore go ahead and find an AH. Sell the cool items like before. Sell the cool items for 2-3k each. Sell the super cool items at 4-5k. Sell the awesome looking items at 8-10k. Now you will be left with the non-cool items. Sell those at 500-1000g. Once you get to level 60-65 try running Hellfire Rampants dungeon on normal mode. You will get lots of gear items that you can sell. Though, you will be limited by your bag space. So, once you get enough money just buy 4xFrostweave Bag (20 slots). Then equip them as your main bags. The bags sell for 500-800g each so you need 2000-3200g to get them depending on how lucky you are. By now you have enough money to get those bags. That is it. If you read and follow this guide you will have lots of gold in no time. Here are further tips you should read: 1. Do not spend your money on anything unnecessary like exapnsive gear if this is your first toon. You will eventually get everything you want from drops and you will replace the items faster than you think. 2. It is best you create an alt toon one which sells your items and not use your main for selling. This step will help you avoid the trolls whispering you regarding your items and prices. Also, this is very useful because you can mail the items from your main anywhere where you can find a mail. So, you do not have to go back to the main city to auction when your bags are full. 3. Be patient it will take time for your items to sell, if you need the money and cannot play without it just farm the items sell them on AH and log back later. You will find that you sold several items. 4. While farming you get cloth items. Sadly, most of the time cloth sell at a lower price like 50-200g a stack depending on the item itself. If you are near your main city or any AH (or mail if you are using an alt) go ahead and auction it. If you are not save your space for the gear drops. Once you go to higher zones such as Northern maps. You can farm and sell Frostweave Cloth stacks. Those sell for around 500g a stack on AH. 5. When you clear the dungeons just go back and reset and start over again until your bags are full. 6. If you find a cool looking item and then you realized your toon needs it. Do not do it. You will replace that item, save it for the AH. If it is looking cool and you like it a lot save it for yourself. 7. You will find lots of gold beggars in main cities. Do not give them money. They are mostly lazy. An exception you can make is for lowbies who are asking for 5-10g. Those are the people who need the money and do not know how to earn it. You can give them the money but refer them to this guide. Help them get their own money. 8. If you need any items for your toon and find that they sell for a high price on AH, use world to get them cheaper. 9. Keep in mind that AH takes a big chunk of your gold. 10. Once you hit the Northern maps, you can sell the non-cool items for higher prices like 1-2k. When you hit the cata zones. You can sell the items for 2-3k. When you hit the pandarian zones you can sell the gear for a higher amount of gold. 11. It is a good idea to level your main and secondary professions while you level up. If you do not want the mining profession and you got enough money from it to support yourself drop it and take whatever profession you want. If you like the guide let me know.

So, you have finally reached level 120, and do not know what to do. No problem. This guide is for you. A. The Artifact Neck If you did not get the artifact neck, go get it now. https://www.wowhead.com/item=158075/heart-of-azeroth You can acquire the neck by completing the following quest chain: Alliance: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=53370/hour-of-reckoning Horde: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=53372/hour-of-reckoning After acquiring the neck, you will need to level it. You can get Azerite (to level your neck) from many sources. You can get some from random dungeon finders, raid finders, battlegrounds, arenas, and from elites. There is also the weekly quests that spawn once per two weeks (around the ship that takes you to the crossfaction maps). Those quests ask you for donations (several items/mats), and reward you with lots of Azerite. B. Arathi Highlands Warfront You will find a portal to Arathi Highlands in your main BfA city. For alliance, it is near the ship that takes you to the horde BfA maps. This new reworked Arathi Highlands map, has plenty of elites, that you can kill for Azerite, 340-360 ilvl gear, mounts, pets, and toys. You can kill all Arathi elites once a week (reset is on Wednesday). Download and install both of the following addons, that will allow you to see those elites on map: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/handynotes https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/handynotes-warfrontrares You need to download the versions for the Firestorm client (currently it is 8.0.1, but that will change soon). Follow this guide (by Alan), to download the right versions of those addons: http://us.forum.firestorm-servers.com/index.php?/topic/39122-how-to-download-addons/ To farm efficiently, you may: 1. Pay for a carry. You need to ask players of the same cloth type for a carry. If you are a warlock, for example, ask for a cloth carry. In that manner, the geared guy, would acquire items and trade them to you, so you have double chances for loot. If you are in a guild, you can ask them to carry you for free. Currently, a full carry (on reset), will cost you around 5k gold. Make sure you do not pay the players upfront, since there are plenty of scammers. If they ask you for gold upfront, do not join them. Remember people are doing the runs on reset, so you are just tagging along with them. If they go out of their way to help you, they will ask for 10k gold. 2. If you are poor and/or do not have a guild, look for people who are fresh to Arathi (like you), and do a run with them. Make sure they have the same cloth type. In that manner, you can help each other gear up with duplicate items, that you do not need. 3. If you cannot find anyone to do this with, go ahead and solo. If you are fresh level 120, you will want to wait for other people to attack the elite you want to kill, and when they start, you can engage the elite. There are elites that hit really hard. So, you may want to tag them, run away, and keep your distance until the boss dies (making sure you are still in combat). You will also need this trick for world bosses, since those bosses hit for a lot, and you may die before you are able to loot. Note: Arathi elites drop everything but rings and trinkets. You will also see a world boss in Arathi Highlands. This boss drops ilvl370-395 gear (including awesome trinkets), and it alternates between alliance and horde (one week for alliance and another week for horde). If you cannot attack the boss and it looks friendly to you, that means it is not your turn. I believe the boss resets on Wednesday 1PM server time. Alliance: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=52847/dooms-howl Horde: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=52848/the-lions-roar C. Emissary of War Emissary of War is a weekly quest. This quest rewards you with a 370+ ilvl item. https://www.wowhead.com/quest=53037/emissary-of-war Basically, you need to complete four mythic dungeons. The best way to do this, is to queue Freehold on RDF HC. Then, go out and change it to Mythic. After that, move to the final boss (skipping all other bosses), and kill it. You do this four times, and you are done with the quest. If you are a lowbie (<335), nobody would invite you to their groups. So, you need to make the group yourself. That is the only way you can do it, at a low ilvl. If you are new to Freehold, what you need to do is follow the tank. The tank will lead the way to the last boss, and he will pull all adds along the way. Once you reach the last boss, go and hide until the tank dies. The healer will revive him, and then you can start the boss. If you have pulled any adds along the way, you would have to go and die with the tank. Then, wait for the healer to revive you. That is unless you are a night elf (Shadowmeld) or have a way to get out of combat (like mages etc.) Once you kill the boss, follow the players. You will see them going for an NPC. Interact with that NPC, so it takes you out of the dungeon. Then, reset and redo. Note: There is an old bug with setting dungeons to Mythic, when you queue for RDF HC. So, what you need to do is right click your avatar (if you are the leader), then Convert to Raid and back to group. Then, you will able to change the dungeon difficulty to Mythic. D. World Bosses There are plenty of world bosses, that you can do once a week. Those bosses drop 355+ ilvl gear. So, watch out for people doing those bosses on world chat. People tend to advertise a lot for them. E. Weekly Chests Make sure you do at least one MM+ per week, for the weekly chest, which rewards you with Azerite and gear. F. Craft/Buy Items There are some items you can buy from the Auction House, that you really need. I am referring to the rings and trinkets. You should buy ilvl300-310 rings from AH for 1-2k gold each, or craft them yourself using Jewelcrafting. Just make sure you do not buy two rings of the same type. You can also buy a Darkmoon ilvl355 trinket for around 10-30k gold, depending on the trinket. You can buy the trinkets cheaper, if you ask in world chat. Here is a list of the trinkets: RDPS: https://www.wowhead.com/item=159126/darkmoon-deck-squalls MDPS/Hunters: https://www.wowhead.com/item=159125/darkmoon-deck-fathoms Heal: https://www.wowhead.com/item=159127/darkmoon-deck-tides Tank: https://www.wowhead.com/item=159128/darkmoon-deck-blockades Note: The MDPS trinket is always expensive, so you may need to haggle. If you are rich, you can buy other items from AH for 50k-3m gold. I hope you liked the guide. P.S. All the information above, is from my personal experience.

It is true, young Padawan.

3x. Though, we get 10x promotions from time to time.

It is not a bug. They were nerfed.

Hello, it would be really nice if you give us the lost followers reputation mentioned in the changelog: Thanks.

Firestorm copied all accounts from legion to BfA. I have suggested they flag characters on inactive accounts, for players who have not logged BfA since launch, so people are able to use those special names. They said they would consider it. That was a long time ago, though.

Did you finish the quest where you upgrade a piece of benthite into ilvl400? You cannot progress without it. Also, check your quests log and tell us what you see under Nazjatar. Screenshots would be helpful, too.

Read this:

Issue is now resolved.

Hello, I wonder if someone else has the same issue here. My Enchanting/Tailoring are stuck at 150/150 while they should be 150/175. Thanks.

This guide will teach you how to finish chain quests without suffering. Many players who struggle with chain quests actually miss one quest. Then, they struggle not knowing what to do. The solution is simple. You just need to find or remember the name of one of the quests in the chain. After that, use wowhead to find it. Then, use the following macro on each quest id in the chain, and it will let you know if the quest is complete (true) or incomplete (false): /run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(quest-id)) You can acquire the quest id (which is a number) from the wowhead link: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=quest-id For example, let us say I was doing the Nazjatar chain quest and I dropped a quest. Though, the server crashed and I have lost the quest name. What I need to do is use my favorite search engine to find one of the quests. So, after searching, I now know that "Up Against It" is one of those quests in the chain. I can use the search engine to find it by using "Up Against It wowhead" or I can query the name of the quest on wowhead, directly. After navigating into the quest: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=56644/up-against-it I can see that there are quests before and after it. Now, let me see if I have finished this quest or not: /run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(56644)) If I get the message "true" then I have done it, and I need to use the macro above on the following quests. Where the Road Leads is the next quest: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=55175/where-the-road-leads I use the quest id (55175) on the macro, to see if I have done it or not. If I get the message "false" then I have not finished this quest, yet. So, I go on wowhead and I click the name of the NPC that gives the quest (on Start: ), and find where that NPC is. Then, I go to that NPC and acquire the quest. That is it. Now, let us assume that the first macro reported "false" instead of true. That means I have to go backwards (previous quests) until I find the last quest that I have done (where the message would be true). Note: If you cannot find the quest on the NPC, check your quest logs and make sure the quest is not there.

H. Stay of Execution (Alliance) Update bb. Jaina is not visible on map for delivering the quest This quest requires you to finish the Nazjatar chain quest up to and including the following quest, to be able to see the NPC: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=55175/where-the-road-leads In case you have skipped or missed any quests from that chain, refer to this tutorial and complete the chain:

A. Fortunate Souls, Disruption of Power, and Dark Tides (Alliance) Relog if you cannot see the NPCs. B. Up Against It (Alliance) aa. No more NPCs around bug. Drop the quest. Relog. Use .fsd command or die. Ress. If you cannot find your corpse, queue for arena skirmish, and when you are inside, simply leave. Do NOT use the unstuck option from the website. Go back to the cave and take the quest. Redo the quest. bb. Going to the blue circle does not trigger the first quest objective. Try doing the quest legit by going to the circles on the map. If that does not work, do the following steps. When you go out of the cave, make a full U turn. Stand on the cliff (or giant rock) facing the open area. Then, watch the scene. Proceed with the quest. C. Where the Road Leads (Alliance) Examine the screenshot above. Dismount. Go to the orange circle on the map, to get the credit for "Follow Okani." Go to the blue square on the map to get the main credit / cutscene. Note: You have to do the steps above in order, or you will mostly bug the quest. If the quest got bugged, you need to drop and retake it. You may need to relog, too. D. Rescue The Farseer (Alliance) Delete the key if you have it. Wait for the elite (inside the cave) to spawn. You need to wait outside the cave, though. Keep away as far as you can. You will see the elite as a yellow dot on the minimap when it respawns. Go inside to get the credit. Kill the elite and loot it. If the credit for the key bugs, delete the key and kill elite again then loot it. Open the cage. E. A Worthy Ally If you are not getting credit, right click the follower buff (on your list of buffs) to remove it. Then, drop and retake the quest. It should work fine now. F. Princely Visit (Alliance) Examine the screenshot above. Dismount. Move near the target NPC and relog. Move to the arrow location and you should get the credit. Note: if those steps do not work for you, keep going back and fourth until you get the credit. G. Welcome to the Resistance (Alliance) Take the quest. Follow the NPC and right click it to skip the tour. Note: If this does not work. Drop the quest and relog. Then retake the quest, and repeat the steps above. H. Stay of Execution (Alliance) aa. Reach the exit bug Within the scenario, you need to kill the adds before going for the door required for "Reach the exit" credit. If you go for the door, Mathias Shaw will trigger the credit, but will get teleported to adds before it gets a chance to unlock the door/gate. If this happens, do the following: Right click the green eye icon on your mini-map, then leave the instance. Talk to Jaina again to send you back to the scenario. If you do not see the green eye icon relog (log out and back in). If that does not work, try the macro: /script LeaveParty() bb. Jaina is not visible on map for delivering the quest Drop the quest and relog. Go back to Stormwind and take the quest from the king NPC. Redo the quest.

For people who have issues with chains (like the ones above), refer to this guide:

Thanks, Hreyo. I appreciate it. P.S. I know you could teach me the spells and that would probably fix the issue. Though, there are many players affected by this issue. I have too many characters myself with dual professions facing the 150/150 bug.

Thanks for the advice, @Hreyo I appreciate it. Sadly, this does not help. I have tried this trick before and it did not work. Here are some screenshots:

After examining the professions issue myself, I have realized that this issue is caused by old players learning professions back in 8.0.1 where the max was 150. People who learned professions using the 8.2 client do not have this issue. The solution is too simple that it would take seconds to fix this issue in the database. Anyway, you could be patient and wait for them to fix this issue or you could learn professions on alts. You can also drop and retake the affected professions, and your max would be 175, BUT you will LOSE all learned recipes.

This issue is a bug. It happened to me on two characters already (I only play two).

I totally agree. The long spawn times on those rares make players frustrated. We do not know if some of the elites really spawn or not.

For people who learned professions before 8.2, we are all stuck at 150/150 except cooking/fishing. For players getting professions after 8.2 launch, they get x/175. Thanks for sharing, Acsulg.

I have offered to make an update for people who are stuck, but nobody is willing to make an effort to test the update.
