WoW Classic SoD: How To Grind Maraudon In Phase 4? - Routes & Notes
On July 11, WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 was officially released, and many players are very excited about the new discovery content. Phase 4 of WoW Classic Season of Discovery brings players the last set of dungeons that you can grind during your level 50 to 60.
The loot provided by these dungeons will be available until the end of the game. Therefore, you may end up running dungeons at level 60. This guide will specifically introduce you to Maraudon, which is explorable at level 50 to 52, and provides you with routes and some notes.
Maraudon is a huge dungeon in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4, suitable for entering and grinding when you reach level 50 and above. The bosses here range from level 48 to 51 only, so you will deal with these enemies easily and provide yourself with a lot of experience.
Routes
You can enter Maraudon from three different locations, and the routes you and your team will take will depend on which entrance you enter from.
If you want to start from the orange entrance, you can completely clear the dungeon. If you just want to clear all the bosses in the dungeon, you need to defeat Razorlash and enter the first large open area, then you can take a detour into the purple entrance and kill Lord Vyletongue. Finally, continue back to the main path, deeper into the dungeon.
If you want to be more adventurous, you can start from the purple entrance and defeat Maraudos, which is also required to complete the Pariah’s Instructions quest. After entering, you will see a waterfall in the dungeon, where you need to take a narrow path and fight Tinkerer Gizlock.
After the fight, continue up the slope path to defeat Landslide. From there, you can continue along the main path to Princess Theradras, and after defeating Princess Theradras, fall into the water and defeat Rotgrip.
If you want to go all the way to the end without having to backtrack, you can completely skip Lord Vyletongue, Tinkerer Gizlock and possibly Landslide. These bosses that will cause you to backtrack are actually insignificant in the dungeon and can be safely ignored.
Another popular route into Maraudon skips right up to the waterfall section of the dungeon, but only completes the last few bosses. This requires you and one of your group to have Scepter of Celebras, which is given to you when you talk to Celebras Redeemed in the first half of Maraudon.
The advantage of this route is that it allows you to defeat the bosses in the second half of the dungeon more quickly, the most notable of which is Princess Theradras, who drops some very useful loot for certain classes and SOD Gold that all players love.
This route is also the choice of some high-level players, as the monsters in the second half of the dungeon are a bit higher level. In addition, if you don’t need the loot in the first half of this dungeon, you can also use this route.
Here, I need to remind you that there is no exit in Maraudon. If you want to leave, you need teleport or hearthstone to help you leave this dungeon. If you really have no other way, just log out and reset to return to the nearby cemetery.
Enemies To Watch Out For
Although in theory, you will be higher level than the enemies in the dungeon and will defeat them easily, there are still some that you need to pay special attention to.
Creeping Sludge
These slimy-looking sludges will frequently cause a lot of AoE damage to nearby enemies. When facing them, try not to get close to them, but use ranged weapons to knock them down from a distance.
Barbed Lasher
In addition to the area of damage effect, these monsters also have a knockdown effect. If the healer on your team stands too close to them, the healer’s effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Noxious Slime
It’s actually not difficult for you to fight it, but after they die, they will leave a cloud of toxic gas on the ground. If you are not careful, you will be in danger.
Subterranean Diemetradon
These Diemertradons will cast Sonic Burst on you and silence anyone nearby for 10 seconds. Like Barbed Lasher, casters and healers in the raid should stay away from it.
Princess Theradras
As the final boss of Maraudon, Princess Theradras is much more difficult than any of the previous raids, so you need to know her skills in advance.
Her Repulsive Gaze can be very scary for you and your raid, and she will also throw Boulder at distant targets, which will damage their raid casters and interrupt their spell-casting. When she casts Dust Field, everyone should stay away from her, otherwise they will take a lot of damage.
This skill will also make it clear all obstacles in front of it, so have your raid tank and taunt her, otherwise she will hurt the lowest health among you.
More Tips
You need to have some ranged damage in your team to deal with Creeping Sludge, and for characters with healing skills. Because healers are very easy to get stuck in the crowd of enemies in Maraudon, it is beneficial to equip a few healing skills.
In addition to equipping skills, you also need to determine what loot your raid needs. Some bosses drop very rich loot, but their locations are too remote. If no one wants their dropped items, you need to discuss whether to skip or move on.
When you finally face Princess Theradras, remember to keep in touch. Princess Theradras may pose distinct threats to your team from different directions. If you are too scattered, it may be difficult for tank professions to regain hatred on the boss after Princess Theradras uses Dust Field.
After understanding the entire route and precautions of Maraudon, do you have more confidence to face this relatively simple dungeon? Go to Maraudon with your team!

WoW Classic SoD: How To Upg ...
The fourth stage of the exploration season is now online, and the level cap of the fourth stage is known to be level 60. So how should we upgrade from level 50 to level 60? There are many different things to do, and I also want to share some tips and tricks with you in this guide. This guide will work all the way to the highest level, and it’s very easy to follow, and it takes about 1 minute to set everything up. It will automatically detect the profession you are playing, and it will also guide you through the best route to collect runes when you level up, and there will be numbers on your map, and a lot of different things to illustrate, and it will also guide you through the best route to reach level 60. But remember to use your Cozy Sleeping Bag when the cooldown is over, because this will increase your experience value by 3% for 2 hours. Level Up Through Dungeons One thing you can do is to level up through dungeons. The first dungeon is Blackrock Depths. As an Alliance player goes to Dunbar Row, in Careers section, you will find an NPC that will give you the first quest. Then head to Burning Steppes. There will also be quite a few quests there, and you will get a lot of extra experience and SOD Gold, and even items, one of which will have you go and kill Master, this NPC or this Elite can be found in front of dungeon entrance portal. So be sure to keep an eye out for this as your group is heading into the dungeon. As a Hardcore player, you can also pick up quite a few quests there. This location has a keyer. You can change your hearthstone to this location. When you have completed all the different quests, go back with your hearthstone. Both factions can also pick up quests and Burning Steppes. You can use your Hearthstone to go back to both factions, or you can pick up a quest and Burning Steppes, as this NPC is neutral. Another neutral NPC can be found when you enter a dungeon, pick up Attunement to the Core quest, which is required to coordinate Molten Core. By doing this, you will also gain experience and accomplish different things. Explore Lower Blackrock Spire Next, you can hit Lower Blackrock Spire, which is the same location as Blackrock Depths, or very close. At this tower you can pick up different dungeon quests, which have hidden quests. If you are not an experienced player, talk to this NPC and listen to the story, and you will get an item. If you head to Burning Steppes, there will be NPCs there that you can talk to get different quests. These quests require you to complete dungeon as a party of five, without converting them to a raiding group. As a Hardcore player, you cannot take this quest. The quest will tell you to go back to Burning Steppes, which will take you to the quest chain. Once you complete the quest, you will get an amazing Trinket as a reward. Hardcore Players’ Quest Journey Another important thing is when you level up as a Hardcore player, by going to this camp in Western Plaguelands, after picking up these quests. You can also go to the Eastern Plaguelands, where you can pick up other quests. These are neutral NPCs and are also quests right in front of the dungeon entrance. If you think this is too hard, then you can also do Stratholme here, where you can get many items. In fact, there will be many quests here, and at this point you are also getting closer and closer to level 60. If you still feel that you are not strong enough to complete Upper Blackrock Spire, then you can do Dio, for example, because in Season of Discovery Phase 4, every dungeon will be open. If you decide to go to Upper Blackrock Spire, then as an Alliance player, you must go to a certain city to pick up this pre-quest, and the quest will tell you to go to Burning Steppes. If you have already gone to Lower Blackrock Spire and got the quest letter, remember to start the quest as well, in case you gave up on it before as a Hardcore player. Next, you have to go to Badlands, where you can complete a quest, and you can also pick up another quest from this dungeon. The fastest way to level up is definitely to do quests, and you can also level up a little slower, but make a lot of money at the same time. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy exploring Season of Discovery Phase 4 and your journey to level 60.Jul-15-2024

WoW Classic SoD: Demon Fall ...
As we all know, WoW Classic Season of Discovery brings a lot of new content to players in each phase. Well, Phase 4 is no exception. In addition to the new level-up Raids converted from the original dungeons, another new content is added: Demon Fall Canyon. As the highest level dungeon in WoW SoD, Demon Fall Canyon is naturally different from other ordinary dungeons. To enter Demon Fall Canyon, you need to go through a lot of hardships. So this guide will introduce what you need and how to unlock Demon Fall Canyon. Demon Fall Canyon Prerequisites First, for the level, if you want to explore Demon Fall Canyon and unlock its quest line, you must meet level 55 and above, and you must complete Wild Offerings questline in Phase 3-The Wild Gods. Even Shadowtooth Emissary in Emerald Sanctuary will not offer you the attunement quest Demonic Deceptions if you are not level enough. Likewise, if you are level enough but have not completed The Wild Gods, you will not get Demon Fall Canyon attunement. Shadowtooth Emissary can only be made a vendor after you meet the above two conditions, so both are required before you can unlock Demon Fall Canyon attunement. How To Unlock Demon Fall Canyon? Step 1 After you get Demonic Deception’s quest from Shadowtooth Emissary, the emissary will also tell you more about some strange events in Loa. This time your task requires you to defeat the demon Mannoroth in Grommash Hellscream and save Orcs from his fel blood. The emissary will also ask you to use an Owlbeast Pineal Glands to craft an amulet to dispel the illusions in this area, and will send you to Winterspring when you are ready. Owlbeasts in other areas will not drop this high-level item. Only Owlbeasts living in the high-level Winterspring will drop it, and there are also designated Owlbeasts - Berserk Owlbeasts, Moontouched Owlbeasts and Crazed Owlbeasts. The first two Owlbeasts have only a 25% to 30% chance of dropping Owlbeast Pineal Glands, and the last one has a very low drop rate or even no drop. You need to kill at least 6 of these Owlbeasts, and after completing it, you need to return to Emerald Sanctuary. In addition, the best place to collect Owlbeasts is north of Everlook. Step 2 After you get Pineal Glands and give them to Shadowtooth Emissary, in return he will give you Shadowtooth Illusion Ward and a bunch of SOD Gold as a reward for completing Demonic Deceptions quest. Shadowtooth Illusion Ward looks like a trinket, but it will get you used to all the new WoW SoD Phase 4 dungeons. When you are ready, start to head there, but you will find that Demon Fall Canyon is not in Felwood or Winterspring. So where is it? Demon Fall Canyon is located in the southeast of Ashenvale. You may think it is a bit far, but fortunately, it is not far on horseback. Step 3 As mentioned above, Demon Fall Canyon is located in the southeast of Ashenvale. So you need to look for a gray rift in the southeast on the map. Once you find it, you will find that it is very close to the location of Splintertree Post, only a few inches. The entrance to Demon Fall Canyon is just north of this gray area. But some players may wonder, why can’t I see it? Remember to check your gear slots. If you don’t have Shadowtooth Illusion Ward equipped, you won’t be able to see the portal to this dungeon. In addition to yourself, you must also make sure that everyone in your team has equipped Demon Fall Canyon attunement trinket. After confirming that everything is correct, you can enter the dungeon portal, which means entering the most exciting new Phase 4 dungeon. Although theoretically you can enter at a minimum level of 55, it is not recommended to enter Demon Fall Canyon at only level 55 because of the difficulty of this dungeon. Once inside, you can safely remove Demon Fall Canyon attunement trinket from the equipment slot and replace it with your regular equipment. However, every time you want to re-enter, you will need Demon Fall Canyon attunement trinket, which is equivalent to a key. Bosses In Demon Fall Canyon Grimroot is the first boss you encounter in Demon Fall Canyon. Turn left at the first fork in the path and after clearing all the trash along the way, you will find this hovering Mourning Guardian. If you want to make the fight easier, remember to clear all the trash in Grimroot’s patrol before starting the fight. After you finish fighting Grimroot, continue forward, and you will find Destructor’s Wraith. Don’t worry about this fight, as it is also a very simple one. After defeating the above two bosses, you can go back to the main road where you first entered the dungeon and you will encounter Zilbagob. It is very cute because it is an imp driving a Goblin Shredder. Continue back to the dungeon and you will see Memorial for Grommash. Turn your head to the right and follow the path up, remembering to clear the trash on the road as with the first boss. Once you reach the top, you will enter Demon Fall Barrow and you will also see Pyranis. During your battle with Pyranis, it will summon a lot of Summon Dread Fungus and Summon Dread Lasher, which you need to keep clearing. After the battle, continue to go deeper into Barrow Den and walk to the end. There you will meet Dreadlord - Diathorus the Seeker. It should be noted that this battle will have two stages, so please increase your defense and health attributes. After you defeat Dreadlord, go out of a portal in the battle room and you can return to Monument of Grommash and meet Hellscream’s Phantom. The above is some detailed information about Demon Fall Canyon. I hope this guide can help you with your exploration and wish you a happy exploration!Jul-15-2024

WoW Classic SoD: How To Get ...
In WoW SOD Phase 4, Tarnished Undermine Realms are the primary method for most players to obtain new gear and items, including parts for all tier 0 dungeon sets that can be improved in the new Phase 4 gear upgrade questline. If you’re also interested in how to obtain Tarnished Undermine Real, read on, as this guide will cover the full inventory of Tarnished Undermine Real vendor, as well as where you can find this Tarnished Undermine Real vendor. What Is Tarnished Undermine Real Used For? Tarnished Undermine Real acts similarly to SOD Gold in the game and can be redeemed for items from a new vendor in Booty Bay. The new vendor features a variety of useful SoD Phase 4 gear, including rings, weapons, other equipment, as well as various crafting recipes and fun toys. Such as Gift of Gob, it turns your friendly target into a Goblin for one hour, including Hunter pets. The new Pattern: Leather-Reinforced Runecloth Bag, with 18 slots, is locked behind this new currency, as well as numerous Alchemy recipes, pre-BiS gear, and other useful items. It will be an important currency before entering Molten Core, but to obtain Undermine Reals, you need to make sure you follow the right method. How To Get Tarnished Undermine Real In WoW SoD? The method to obtain Tarnished Undermine Real is simple. Each boss of the dungeon that reaches the maximum level will drop one of this currency every day, but you can’t farm the same dungeon repeatedly because it resets at 9 am server time. This system is a bit like Wild Offering system in SoD Phase3, but instead of being tied to only one boss in each instance, which you can farm repeatedly, Tarnished Undermine Real drops once a day from each boss in the instance. The best way to farm Tarnished Undermine Real is to visit the five main dungeons at the highest level. It is worth noting that to access Upper Blackrock Spire, you must find a UBRS-attuned player, or get attuned in Lower Blackrock Spire yourself. Tarnished Undermine Real Vendor Location Tarnished Undermine Real vendor is located in Booty Bay, and the vendor’s wares are available to both Horde and Alliance players. Look for Pix Nizzix in the northeast of the lower platform. He should be standing next to Auctioneer outside the shiphouse, where you can exchange it for Parrot pet. From the ship to Ratchet City, continue forward and turn left to find a Goblin standing on top of a crate. If you can’t see Tarnished Undermine Real vendor location, head to the lower planks of Booty Bay and look for Goblin hiding in a corner that may be surrounded by dozens of players. All Tarnished Undermine Real Rewards Tier 0 Dungeon Sets drop from the same dungeons as vanilla WoW. With this new currency, you can also redeem parts for the T0 Dungeon Set. The cost of each set follows the same formula. Specifically, in order to have Tier 0 Head, Chest, and Legs pieces, each will cost 50 Tarnished Undermine Real. And Tier 0 Belt, Boots, Gloves, and Shoulder pieces will cost 25 Tarnished Undermine Real each. In addition, for Tier 0 Bracers parts, you can exchange them for 15 Tarnished Undermine Real. Try to target dungeons that drop Head, Chest, and Legs pieces of your Tier 0 SoD Dungeon Set first. While farming these dungeons, you’ll earn Tarnished Undermine Reels, which can be used to exchange for other items, and if you can get these high-cost items, you’ll need to run fewer dungeons to get the full set. Overall, Tarnished Undermine Real plays an important role in WoW SoD Phase 4 as a new currency that opens the door to high-level gear and valuable items. Through diligent farming and wise dungeon selection, players can better cope with the upcoming challenges.Jul-19-2024

WOW Classic SOD: How To Def ...
Some time ago, World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery launched its Phase 4, in which Azuregos received a slight makeover. In Phase 4, Azuregos no longer appears in Azshara along with Lord Kazzak from Blasted Lands, but you can find him in the full Raid group in the new dungeon area of the zone. Compared to other bosses, defeating Azuregos is relatively simple, as it does not have a one-shot mechanic that cannot be dispelled. However, you must not take it lightly, and you still need to follow this guide to learn some strategies for defeating Azuregos and understand his location. It will also introduce what loot you will get after defeating Azuregos. Come and check it out! Azuregos Location To find Azuregos, you and your raid group should first go to the southern center of the zone - Azshara. When you or your group arrive here, you will see a road heading northeast. Follow this road until you are directly above the central mountain range in the area. At the top of the mountain, turn east carefully without falling off the cliff, then continue southeast to Azuregos. For Alliance players, head directly to Talrendis Point southwest of Azshara. Then head northeast at the fork in the road. Be careful not to head southeast too early to find Azuregos, as there will be a Horde encampment in the mountain that will block your progress. For Horde players, head directly to Splintertree Post in Ashenvale, then follow the road east to Azshara. Again, be careful of Alliance NPCs at Talrendis Point, which you can fight or bypass. Then continue northeast until you see a turning point and reach Azuregos. Once you reach Azuregos, you will see a dungeon portal in this location. This does not require any actions or coordination to unlock. If you can’t find the portal, you can look for a set of pillars where the portal will be, surrounded by crystals. Once you enter the portal, mount your mount, and you and your group can explore the area. Of course, your ultimate goal is to find and defeat Azuregos. How To Defeat Azuregos? Azuregos is a raid boss in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery Phase 4, so he has a variety of abilities that can make the fight a bit complicated. But don’t worry, you only need to focus on the most important ones. Before you start the fight, you need to do some preparation. Drinking Frost Protection Potion will help you mitigate damage and let your tank build up Threat for a few seconds before you can rush into the fight. But during the fight, you also need to pay attention to three of his mechanics. Its Teleport ability will teleport everyone on your team to Azuregos and reset your aggro. Once this happens, your team’s DPS and healers must keep Tank safe and ensure that it can build up aggro again. This allows your other classes to take other actions. For Casters and Mana-users, you should pay close attention to Azuregos’ Manastorm AOE ability. Because this ability will quickly deplete your mana, make sure you have a safe mana range. If Azuregos also has Magic Reflection active, don’t fight him head-on, and don’t waste your mana here. As for melee players, you just need to be careful to stay behind the boss, slightly to the left or right, but mostly on the side of Azuregos. This way you can avoid being hurt by Azuregos’ Frost Breath frontal cone and his Cleave attack. As I just said, be sure to keep your Tank aggro high, and for each class you need to choose the most suitable strategy, so that this boss battle is relatively simple. Here I need to remind you that during the battle, if someone dies, Azuregos will not restore a lot of health. Or it will become unbearable after three minutes, just like Lord Kazzak. Azuregos’s Loot In Phase 4, after you defeat Azuregos, you will get 11 rewards and a bunch of SOD Gold. They will drop from Azuregos as loot at different stages of the battle. Most of these items are for different classes, but are more useful for caster and ranged classes. For example, Mature Blue Dragon Sinew gives you a quiver with lots of arrows, and Mage’s Cold Snap wand gives you super high damage. But melee players don’t have to worry too much. You can find BiS cloaks and Puissant Capes suitable for many classes. In addition, you can also find an excellent two-handed sword called Typhoon. The loot will scale with the size of your group, so if you only use 20 players to fight Azuregos, you will encounter less competition in terms of loot distribution. But there are two sides to every coin, so your fight will become a little more difficult. In the World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery Phase 4, all World Bosses will reset twice each week. So if you don’t get the loot you want in a group of 40 people, you can try again. That’s all you need to know before fighting Azuregos in WOW Classic SOD Phase 4. I hope this guide can be seen by you and helpful before you fight. Have fun playing on Phase 4!Jul-29-2024
