Un'Goro and Felwood

Started at level 53
Finished at level 55

Now that I was back in Un'Goro from the Linkin's Sword quest line, I decided to complete some other quests. In your running around, if you happened to pass The Undercity, head down to where they do all the testing in The Apothecarium and see Chemist Fruely.

[56] ...and a Batch of Ooze
Objectives : Collect 5 of the Pure Un'Goro Samples
Rewards : XP!

As the quest says, any ooze in Un'Goro will work for this. All of them will drop an Un'Goro Slime Sample, the tricky part is you won't know how many will net you the Pure kind until you get back to The Undercity. To be safe, collect as many as you can before heading back, I got between 10 and 15 and it worked ok.

When you get back to the Undercity, there is a small bowl with green goo in it on the table beside Fruely. Right click it to get the tested sample, and then right click the sample to see if you got a pure one. Once you have your 5 hand in, then sell the rest of the junk you get.

[52] Alien Ecology
Objectives : Use the Scraping Vial to collect a Hive Wall Sample
Rewards : XP!

To start with, I ran to the very south end of the zone. You can head straight down if you wish, but I took a little detour around the east side in a large arc for safety... and less mobs to knock me off my mount.

If you fight down the East side, you will kill through some Raptors before starting to see big green bugs and eventually enter The Slithering Scar. You are looking for the hive there and you need to kill your way just inside the entrance. As you enter the hive you will see you can go left or right, you want left, down the short tunnel into a small round room. If you clear that room and stand in the very center, you will be able to take your Hive Wall Sample.

[53] The Western Pylon
Objectives : Discover the location of the Western Crystal Pylon
Rewards : XP

[53] Expedition Salvation
Objectives : Collect the Crate of Foodstuffs and Research Equipment
Rewards : XP!

[55] Beware the Pterrordax
Objectives : Kill 10 Pterrordax and 15 Frenzied Pterrordax
Rewards : Sellable loot

After I collected my hive sample, I left the hive facing west. Mount up and make a bee line for the west wall, you will run through an area called Terror Run, and there will be level 54 and 55 mobs as well as elites, just try to run though.

Around the Western Pylon you will find the Frenzied Pterrordax's, and you should have already completed all the normal, lower level ones last time you were in the zone. Clearing the Pterrordax from around the pylon, as well as a couple around the base of the cliffs, I was already up to 7 of the 15 needed.

There are lots more Frenzied Pterrordax along the western wall heading north, in little pockets as well as flying around in the open. You should have no trouble killing the 15 needed for these. As with the lower level versions, the frenzied have a fear, although it seems to be a single target fear and hit my pet most of the time, not really effecting me at all.

Now comes the really fun part, you need to collect a box out in the middle of Terror Run. You can try to kill your way through the non elites, but personally I just soulstoned up and made a run for it. I have marked on the map where the Research Equipment is, and you are looking for a tent of sorts with a lootable box. If you mount up you can dodge most of the mobs on the way in, and if you do get agro when close, run around a bit to loose it.

When you think you are safe, run up to the box, demount and start looting. I got one mob jump me when I got off my mount, but a quick fear got rid of it long enough for me to loot the item and run out. If you do get agro, head for the water nearby, although some of the mobs can swim, they drop agro it seems as soon as you get out a bit.

Now that I had the hardest half done, time to get the other one, and for this, you need to head up near the Tar Pits. The crate of foodstuffs is very easy to get in comparison to the one you just got and you should be able to get it without any hassles at all.

[53] Chasing A-Me 01
Objectives : Find A-Me 01
Rewards : XP!

[55] The Apes of Un'Goro
Objectives : Collect 2 Un'Goro Gorilla Pelts, 2 Stomper Pelts, and 2 Thunderer Pelts
Rewards : XP!

Since I was up the north end of the zone, I started killing the Gorilla's at Fungal Rock. Before you head in though, ensure you have 1 x Mithril Casing as you will need it to get A-Me 01 going again. Once you have it, start fighting your way into the cave.

The Un'Goro Gorillas, Stompers and Thunderer's occupy the cave and the drop rate for their pelts was pretty good for me, getting one nearly every time. As you fight into the cave, you want to take the first tunnel on your right, and there at the end you should see A-Me 01 lying face first.

If you have your Mithril Casing on you, you can do the escort out straight away. It's one of the easier escorts I have done as you don't get ambushed by mobs, only the general respawn on the way out. You need to escort the Ape to the base of Marshal's Refuge, and after that I ran to Torwa (near path to Tanaris) to hand in the pelts.

[55] The Mightly U'Cha
Objectives : Retrieve U'cha's Pelt
Rewards : Sellable loot

[56] The Bait for Lar'Korwi
Objectives : Using the contents of Torwa's Pouch, summon Lar'korwi and defeat him. Retrieve his head.
Rewards : Sellable loot

After you hand in the Gorilla pelts, you need to head back to Fungal Rock to find U'cha. If you enter the cave, stick to your right and follow the path to the back where it will curve around, and eventually at the other end curve around again. U'cha is all the way at the back. Even though he was level 55 (and myself only 52) I had no trouble taking him down, utilizing the space he was in to fear quite safely.

Once he was dead I fought my way back out and towards Torwa, stopping at the Eastern Pylon on the way to summon and kill Lar'Korwi. At the back of the pylon is a rock, and if you right click the Preserved Threshadon Meat you should have on you, it will place the meat on the rock. After the meat is down, place the Pheromone Mixture on top and with in seconds you should see Lar'Korwi running at you.

Although the large dinosaur is level 56, just like U'Cha he wasn't really any trouble. I threw my DoT's on him while he was running at me and feared him. By the time fear wore off he was half dead so I replaced the DoT's and feared again... dead... easy. After I had his head, I made my way back to Torwa to hand in both.


I decided to head back to Felwood and clear up the last remaining quests I had for there. If you have made the run to Ratchet for the Corrupted Water, you can hand that in at Emerald Sanctuary when you land. For the rest of the quests though, we are heading North.

[54+] Verifying the Corruption
Objectives : Destroy 2 Entropic Beasts and 2 Entropic Horrors
Rewards : XP!

My first stop was at Shatter Scar Vale for the Beasts and Horrors. Don't worry about the elite tag as the mobs you need to kill aren't elite, only the wandering Infernals in the area which you can dodge with ease. Both the beasts and horrors look the same, yellow / green fire elementals and are all around the area.

[55] Cleansing Felwood
Objectives : Collect 15 Blood Amber
Rewards : XP!

Further north, just above Irontree Woods is a cave; Irontree Cavern. In the cave you will find the Warpwood Elementals and they will drop the Blood Amber, usually one every time. You should have no trouble pulling these singularly, even inside the cave.

When you hand this quest in, you get the option for further quests; Salve via Hunting, via Gathering or via Skinning. If you ask Maybess for a Cenarion Beacon, you will be able to loot Corrupted Soul Shards when killing certain mobs. The same beacon also allows those with the Herbalism ability to see Fel Creep. Skinners though will most likely already be collecting these as they can be skinned without the beacon. First time hand-ins for all three yield 4200 xp!

Each hand in nets you 2 x Cenarion Plant Salve. These plant salve's are used on the corrupted plants around the zone, and well worth doing as each plant you use it on will yield you 550xp! Using the salve on a Corrupted Songflower will convert it to a cleansed songflower and right clicking that will give you a buff that increases your chance for a critical strike by 5% while increasing all your stats by 15.

Finding and cleansing a corrupted wildblosson will reward you with a few Wildblossom Berries that heal 1933 health over 27 sec and increases your Stamina by 10 for 10 minutes. If you manage to find a Corrupted Whipper Root you will receive an item that restores 700 to 900 health, while a Corrupted Night Dragon will result in an item that restores 394 to 456 mana and 394 to 456 health. Please note the last two are usually a little more rare than the first...
9415263+
[55] Deadwood of the North
Objectives : Kill 5 Deadwood Den Watchers, 5 Avengers, and 5 Shamans.
Rewards : XP

If you run to the very north end of the main path, you will find Nafien and this furbolg will give you the quest to go and kill the Deadwood at Felpaw Village. The only difficulty really with this quest, is sometimes finding the mobs. These are the higher level furbolgs to the ones you killed last time, and like their lower level friends, they are also killed to raise Timbermaw faction, a faction a lot of people go after.

If there are people there just ask to join up for the quest killing, or come back later. The Shaman's will be the toughest mobs to kill as they nuke, but a cast of Curse of Tongues will help solve that pretty quick.

[55] Deadwood Ritual Totem
Objectives : Take the Deadwood Ritual Totem inside Timbermaw Hold and see if one of the furbolgs there will find a use for the item
Rewards : XP!

While killing the furbolgs, you may see a Deadwood Ritual Totem drop, this item begins the quest. The tricky part though, is you need to be at least neutral faction with the furbolg to hand in. If you do raise your faction high enough, you need to find Kernda inside the tunnels that join Felwood to Winterspring.

[55] Dousing the Flames of Protection
Objectives : Douse the flames of the four braziers of protection
Rewards : XP!

If, last time you were in Felwood, you collected the water sample from the moonwell for the Collection of the Corrupted Water quest, you would have done the running around the barrens etc. After all of that, you need to head into Shadow Hold which is the back cave at Jaedenar.

If you head into the cave, the first main area you come to will have the brazier of pain, and just a little further in, the brazier of Hatred. Watch out for the Legionnare's as they have a knockback effect which can not only interrupt your spells, but knock you into adds.

The tunnel is fairly easy to navigate, there's only one real way to go. Continue down the main path and eventually you will come into a large open room which has both the Suffering and Malice braziers. Once you have got those, head back out to hand in and get the next step.

[55] A Strange Red Key
Objectives : Search through Jaedenar to discover what the Blood Red Key is used for
Rewards : XP!

While fighting in the cave, you may see a Blood Red Key drop, this is to free Captured Arko'narin who is inside the cage where the brazier of pain is. Handing in the key eventually leads to an escort quest in which you escort Arko'narin down to where the last two brazier's are and then back up. It is up to you if you choose to do this, but even if you don't, handing in the key alone nets you over 5k xp!

[58] A Final Blow
Objectives : Kill Moora and Salia, and retrieve Shadow Lord Fel'dan's Head
Rewards : +10 Intellect, +10 Spirit, +9 Agility Cloth Belt

After you have doused all the flames and handed in, the next step requires you to head back into Shadow Hold, only this time further in. If you head back down to where the last two braziers are, you should see a small water area there with oozes. Fight through the oozes and up the other side, continueing down the tunnels where you will enter a large room with lots of mobs.

The first mob you will most likely encounter in this room is Rakaiah who you will need to kill if you decided to do the escort quest. Either way, you need to clear this entire room to continue on, and most of the mobs seem to come singularly even though they are so close.

Once you have cleared that room, continue fighting down the tunnels where you will come to a round-ish room that leads you left or over a bridge... go left. Eventually you will come to a larger room and be facing the three mobs you need. Clear all around this room before engaging the trio as you may need the space to fear.

I focused on the two Succubi first as they were lower level, and then honed in on Shadow Lord Fel'dan. It's handy to ensure you are soulstoned here as you can have a bit of trouble, but if you are prepared, and don't get any adds, you should have little trouble slaughtering them. Once done, head back up and hand in!

The following two quests are the start of An Imp's Request, the level 50 Warlock only quest. It is completely up to you if you start it now, but these two steps net you about 10k xp... so worth it.

[52] Hot and Itchy
Objectives : Bring a piece of felcloth to Impsy
Rewards : XP!

[52] The Wrong Stuff
Objectives : Collect 10 Rotting Wood and 4 Bloodvenom Essence
Rewards : XP!

For the piece of felcloth, you can just head up to Jadefire Run, it should drop relatively quickly. The Rotting Wood are from the Ironwood Tree's and the Essence from the slime right near Impsy. Overall I had a pretty good drop rate and it was nice and easy xp. The next step requires you to retrieve items from Sunken Temple. If you did decide to do these, you can combine 'The Wrong Stuff' with the ooze quest from The Undercity;

[52] A Sample of Slime
Objectives : Collect 5 of the Corrupted Felwood Samples
Rewards : XP!

Just like in Un'goro, any slime will do. And just like before, you need to collect samples before testing them back in The Undercity, only this time you want the small bowl full of orange goo. I had a lot better conversion rate with this one, only taking 6 samples to get the 5 pure.

[55] Melding of Influences
Objectives : Bring a Merged Ooze Sample to Chemist Fuely
Rewards : XP!

After you have completed the Un'goro and Felwood slime samples, you are given the next step which takes you back to Un'Goro to ...um ... mate oozes. As much of a pain as it is to run all the way back to Un'Goro, the 7000 xp I got at level 54 makes it totally worth it.

You need to find a Primal Ooze, these are the browny colored ones. When you get close to one, right click the barrel to release the Felwood Ooze and then kill the result. Return to Chemist Fuely to complete. Done.
