After the 15vs15 battlefield Arathi Basin was released as part of the 4th phase of World of Warcraft Classic on March 10th, the four dragon world bosses Emeriss, Lethon, Taerar and Ysondre as well as the 20- Player Raid Zul’Gurub. Here we have some interesting information about the raid and original pictures from 2005 for you.
Zul’Gurub is coming April 2020 in the World of Warcraft Classic . Zul’Gurub is not only the troll classic among the WoW instances, but also the first “small” raid with 20 players, which finally made it possible for occasional players to raid spontaneously and farm very good equipment without time-consuming preparations. Here you can learn something about the background story and also find some tips.
Zul’Gurub – Story
1,500 years before the opening of the Dark Portal, the mighty Gurubashi Empire was torn apart by a massive civil war. An influential group of troll priests known as the Atal’ai summoned the avatar of an ancient and terrible blood god named Hakkar, the Soulflayer. Though the priests were defeated and eventually exiled, the great troll empire collapsed. The exiled priests fled far north to the Swamp of Sorrows , where they built a great temple to Hakkar in preparation for his arrival in the physical world.
Over time, the Atal’ai priests found that Hakkar’s physical form could only be summoned in the ancient capital of the Gurubashi Empire. In Zul’Gurub, Jin’do the Hexxer enslaved several Gurubashi high priests to help him summon their terrible god Hakkar to Azeroth. To tame the blood god, the trolls of the land banded together and sent a deputation of high priests to the ancient city. Each priest was a powerful champion of the primordial gods – bat, panther, tiger, spider, and snake – but despite their best efforts, they eventually succumbed to the influence of Hakkar. The champions and aspects now began to feed the incredible power of the Soulflayer.
Zul’Gurub – The most efficient route
Located in northeast Stranglethorn Vale, the 20-player raid instance was released on September 13, 2005 with Patch 1.7. Like Zul’Farrak, Zul’Gurub counts as an outer zone, which means that riding in the instance is possible. Zul’Gurub is the capital of the jungle troll tribes, led by the Gurubashi, who worship the terrible blood god Hakkar. It is believed that Zul’Farrak was once an outpost of this empire but was lost during the Great Partition. The most efficient route through Zul’Gurub is as follows:
Enter the instance and go straight across the first bridge. Then turn right, go up the hill and kill the High Priestess Jeklik .
Go back down the path and then across the second bridge to get to the area on the left where High Priest Venoxis is located.
Follow the right path behind Venoxis and continue up the instance. From here you can go up a hill on the left and kill Bloodlord Mandokir , or go right through the path with the spider webs to High Priestess Mar’li .
Those who want to do one of the Den of Madness bosses now head back down the hill and past the grand staircase on the right.
Going down the path on your right you will find High Priest Thekal .
Behind High Priest Thekal you will find off the left path the camp and the bank where the water boss Gahz’ranka can be summoned. Kill him if desired.
Back up the hill and down the path you’ll find a pyramid. Inside is High Priestess Arlokk .
After that, go back outside, continue down the path and – if you want and have time – kill Jin’do the Hexxer .
Finally, go back down the ramp and across the bridge on your right to the Temple of Hakkar where you will find the Blood God Hakkar!.
Zul’Gurub – Farm reputation with the Zandalari on Yojamba Island
Reputation with the Zandalar Tribe can be gained by killing trash mobs and bosses in Zul’Gurub, as well as repeatable and special quests that require turning in items from the instance to complete. Each full run through Zul’Gurub gives around 2,500 to 3,000 reputation with the Zandalari tribe . Before the release of the first expansion, The Burning Crusade, the main reason for reputation farming with the Zandalar tribe was for shoulder, head, and leg armor enchantments. There are also popular alchemy and enchanting recipes, and herbalists can use the Zul’Gurub blood scythe to farm blood vines to craft various crafting items. In the picture gallery in this article about the island of Yojamba, which introduces you to the Zandalari trolls on the island of Yojamba, you will find screenshots with quest texts, reputation items and reputation rewards.
