Weekend Part 3 of 3 - Inside the Firelands

Weekend Part 3 of 3 - Inside the Firelands

Let's start with Sulfuron Spire. It's located in Mount Hyjal to the south.


The Summoning Stone and instance portal are located at near ground level of the Spire. Here's a peek at the portal from the outside. Once inside, there is an Avenger's of Hyjal Quartermaster and an npc who can repair gear. Having a repair npc just inside the portal is very convenient, and the arrangement is similar to that of the Lich King, although less elaborate.


Turning around, this is the first real look at what is waiting for us inside. The small platform drops down a few short steps to the blackened ground. Farther down the hill is one of the Molten Core type mobs, prepped and ready for the likes of us. Every run Wild has been on so far has killed this mob first.


After felling the first mob, the raid moved deeper into open ground. There are single giants and groups of naga-like creatures, colonies of scorpions, and fast moving single mobs that can tangle a raid at any time.


After cutting a swath across the plain, the raid focuses on the giant mob that has been captured by spiders. The ground crawls with small eight-legged horrors while larger spiders spin their webs, keeping the hostile brute from breaking free.


Deeper into the hills we came across a phoenix which had also been caught by the spiders. We wiped on this one. Wave at Wild's murderer in the second shot.



At this stage the raid leader led us even deeper, between high rocks that left the spiders behind. At it's end the raid leader noted that this was the end of the road. Their guild had not been able get past this point. I believe it marked a passage into another area of the Firelands.


We didn't attempt it, though. The raid leader called it night.
