No key or attunement found: level only.
Not confirmed yetQuilboar, brambles, bones and a lot of frost at the end. Bad scenery, good loot. I've done business in worse.
Who it's for
- Both factions: A Host of Evil, Scourge of the Downs and Extinguishing the Idol are open to everyone.
- Horde players: An Unholy Alliance and Bring the End, both from Undercity.
- Alliance players: Bring the Light, from Stormwind.
- Groups of 5 (one source).
The route, in plain words
- Tuten'kash, summoned at a gong.
- Plaguemaw the Rotting, a quest boss: he only comes if you escort Belnistrasz.
- Mordresh Fire Eye, on a pile of bones.
- Ragglesnout, a rare.
- Glutton, who patrols below the Spiral of Thorns.
- Amnennar the Coldbringer, the last boss.
Boss order as given by the Forever guides. Another guide puts Plaguemaw at the end and Ragglesnout after Glutton: we check it in game at launch.
The bosses in one line each
- Tuten'kash: ring the gong. The first two rings bring waves of spiders, the third brings him. Turn his Web Spray away from the group and remove his curse.
- Plaguemaw the Rotting: adds spawn fast.
- Mordresh Fire Eye: a caster with skeleton adds. Area damage on the adds, interrupt his Fireball, watch for Fire Nova.
- Ragglesnout (rare): shadow spells, a heal and Dominate Mind. Interrupt Shadow Bolt and Heal.
- Glutton: tank-and-spank with an enrage. Stay out of his Disease Cloud (one source).
- Amnennar the Coldbringer: frost spells and a knockback. Tank him with his tent behind him, kill the Frost Spectres at range.
These tactics are not yet checked in Forever: to verify in game.
Quests to grab before you go
Take these before entering, or you'll run it twice:
- Outside the dungeon (both factions): A Host of Evil from Myriam Moonsinger, on the hill outside. Kill Battleguards, Thornweavers and Death's Head Cultists outside.
- Undercity (Horde): An Unholy Alliance (Varimathras), for Ambassador Malcin's head (an elite outside the dungeon). It starts with the Small Scroll from Razorfen Kraul.
- Undercity (Horde): Bring the End (Andrew Brownell), for the Skull of the Coldbringer.
- Stormwind (Alliance): Bring the Light (Archbishop Benedictus), kill Amnennar.
- Inside the dungeon (both factions): Scourge of the Downs and Extinguishing the Idol, from Belnistrasz in his prison cell. You escort him to the Quilboar Idol; Plaguemaw spawns afterwards.
Quest levels differ between sources (28-39 in one, 35-42 in another), and they count 6 or 7 quests: to verify.
Watch out
- Belnistrasz can't be healed during the escort.
- The gong: the third ring brings Tuten'kash, not more spiders.
- Amnennar knocks back: keep his tent behind the tank.
- Beta limit: the beta stopped at level 30, so nothing above 30 here was tested in game.
- Experience: one source says dungeon quests give much more experience than before on a first run; the Oct 1 patch halved that extra quest experience.
FAQ
- Where is the Razorfen Downs entrance in WoW Forever?
- Sources disagree. One puts it in the south-east corner of The Barrens (around 43, 95), through a bramble maze full of elite quilboar. Another gives an instance portal in Thousand Needles (47.8, 23.9). We check in game at launch.
- What level should you be for Razorfen Downs?
- Forever lists say 37-46. One source gives entry from level 35 and Group Finder from 34, but the Oct 1 patch opened it from level 25 in the beta. The beta stopped at level 30, so we confirm at launch.
- How many bosses are in Razorfen Downs?
- Six are listed, including one rare and one quest boss. One guide says seven, and a loot table also names a Lady Falther'ess: to verify.
- What is the last boss of Razorfen Downs?
- Amnennar the Coldbringer.
