Walkthrough:

Talk to trainer in Org or UC to get sent to the Altar of Storms in the Burning Steppes. There you will be given 2 quests. To speak to Lord Banehollow in Jaedanar and to get 30 raging beast’s blood from owlbeasts in Winterspring.

1) Banehollow – He is at the very back of Shadow Hold. Make sure to buy a stack of potions before you leave the altar of storms to make jadenar friendly to you. Head to the very back of shadow hold and banehollow will give you a simple quest to kill a level 58 who also brings a couple level 58 adds. Do it with a buddy or any other nearby warlocks and you’ll be fine. Return to Jaedenar and he will sell you the stardust you need for a mere 150g.

2) Owlbeasts – Go to Winterspring and kill -any- owlbeast for the blood. Drop rate is about 30-40% near as I can figure.

Return to the Altar of Storms in BS to get another series of quests. This is where you will need all the materials listed above.

Your next quest sends you to Scholomance. You must reach the Alchemy Lab in the room with Ras Frostwhisper in a 5 man group. This took us a couple hours and was by far the most annoying/tedious part of the quest, but those of you used to 5 manning scholo shouldnt have a problem. If you’re really in a hurry you only need to clear the patrols and the first group of mobs on the right to be able to sneak in and release your imp near the tables and get credit.

Once again you will return to the Altar in Burning Steppes where you will have to buy 3 more items for 150g, 50g, and 50g. One of the items starts the quest, one of the items is used during the initial part of the Dire Maul event and one is used to summon the dreadsteed. Doesnt really matter which is which, cuz you need em all.

Head to the west wing of Dire Maul and proceed to clear the pylons and open the way to Immol’thar. Kill the big dog then med up and activate your jar that starts the quest. The Imp will set up a wheel, candle and bell. Do not start this event without at least 15 soulshards in your inventory as you will need to use many during the battle.

During the battle, the candle will deal damage to all enemies within the ring, the wheel will reduce damage taken by your group inside the ring and the bell will heal people inside the ring constantly. You, as the warlock, must keep all 3 of these working. When you see one stop working you can fix it by moving to it and right clicking it which will also expend a soulshard. If you run out of shards it is game over.

How to get your priest epic staff on the first try:

Player Pre-requisites:

–> Mana pool of 8000+ buffed
–> Know how to remove diseases
–> Know how to target NPC’s by their health bar (“v”)
–> Holy Nova might help, but wont matter much at all. I did without.

Stuff to bring with you:

–> Eye of Divinity (You must WEAR it)
–> 15 Oil of Immolation
–> ZERO health potions
–> One or Two Major Mana Potions
–> Flask of Distilled Wisdom (Optional, but dont be a cheapass)

Once you equip the Eye of Divinity from Majordomo’s “Cache of the Firelord”, fly to Western Plaguelands. Once there, head to 21,21 on the map. You’re looking for a NPC. The NPC is to the WEST of the front Stratholme (Live/Scarlet side) just after you pass through a tunnel on the left sitting on a little mound. If you don’t see her immediately after passing through the tunnel, it’s for one of two reasons. First reason is someone else failed the quest. The NPC goes away for 2 hours. Yes, it’s a world timer. The second reason the NPC may not be there is because you forgot to equip the Eye of Divinity. If you dont wear it, you wont see the NPC. You must also equip the Eye of Divinity for the entire quest duration of the ‘event’.

So, what happens now?

First, you talk to the NPC. The first quest she gives is telling you to come back to her when you’re ready, so accept it and then turn it back in. The next quest she gives is called “Balance of Shadow and Light”. That’s the quest you cant screw up, because if you do you wait 2 hours to try again.

Before accepting the Balance of Shadow and Light quest, make sure you have all the player pre-requisites taken care of. Drink your flask of distilled wisdom to give you 10,000+ mana. This fight is mana intensive bigtime.
