***Joana's 77-78 Scholazar Basin Guide***

 

Introduction:
Your arrival into the Basin is not a good one!  Luckily you run into Mr. Nesingwary, which like always has beast hunting quests for you to do!  What a surprise!  Or wait??  Hunt goblins.... ?  Yeah you'll see.  Later on you come across Freya, a huge anti-scourge giant, she has you do many tasks that are very delightful!  Then you come across the stupidest mobs in WoW (the Oracles, which look like mutated murlocs) and (the Wolvar, aka teddy bears).  Which one do you want to side with?  See Reference Map.

Interactive MAP MOD (MetaMap) Coordinates.

Go here to learn how to get map coordinates and Interactive Map Coordinates, which are very important to have when using my guide.

(Northrend Levels 70-80)

77-78 Scholazar Basin

Welcome to Sholazar Basin

01) The first thing to do is to fly to Dalaran.

02) Once there you will be able to accept a quest right in front of you called "Where in the World is Hemet Nesingwary?" from Archmage Pentarus.  Accept it.

03) "Where in the World is Hemet Nesingwary?" (Talk to the NPC to take the flight).  This quest immediately takes you to Scholazar Basin on a flying machine. The flying machine then gets shot down and you fly on a parachute to the ground.

04) Once on the ground go south a few paces (to 39.58, look for the question mark on the minimap) and turn in "Where in the World is Hemet Nesingwary?" ... Accept "Welcome to Sholazar Basin"

05) Now before we begin doing that quest we just accepted, it would be best to our interest to get a FP first in the middle of Scholazar Basin (at 50.62) down near the water almost.  (Don't worry about accepting any quests there yet).

06) Once you get the flight path (at Lakeside Landing, 50.62) then go west to the Nesingwary Base Camp (at 27.58) and turn in "Welcome to Sholazar Basin"

07) Accept these two quests in the Nesingwary Base Camp: "Venture Co. Misadventure" and "It Could Be Anywhere!"

08) Make Nesingwary Base Camp your new home.  Also note that you can rest in there where the beds are at.

09) Then go west a few paces to Weslex Quickwrench (at 25.58), accept the quest "Need an Engine, Take an Engine"

10) "Need an Engine, Take an Engine" (You need to go pick up a Flying Machine Engine that is located east at 38.56, See Pic)

11) Once you got the Engine, then go back to Weslex Quickwrench (at 25.58) and turn in "Need an Engine, Take an Engine" ... Accept "Have a Part, Give a Part"

12) "Venture Co. Misadventure" along with "Have a Part, Give a Part" (These quests have you go to Swindlegrin's Dig north-east (around 12.22) and pick up 9 Spare Parts on the ground there, along with killing 22 Venture Company members, pretty much any mob there will fit the bill for that).  While you are there try to accept and do the following escort quest first:  Also if you are having trouble with the steps in this guide, that is because you are not using a genuine copy of the guide. The full version can be purchased at "joanas world com"

13) "Engineering a Disaster" (Accepted at 31.41, up on the wooden platform)  If the NPC is not there, means that somebody else is currently doing the escort quest. This quest is easy.

14) Once those 3 quests are done, go to Weslex Quickwrench (at 25.58) and turn in "Have a Part, Give a Part"

15) NOTE: Turning in that quest just unlocked a flightpoint! The Spirit of Gnomeregan spawns on the left side of Weslex and now you can use it as a flightpoint.

 Northrend Flying Mount Quests

NOTE:  YOU NEED TO BE LEVEL 77 TO CONTINUE THIS SECTION, If you are not level 77 by now, then go to step #9 in this section.  Once you hit level 77 come back and do this section.  It's important because you will learn the 'Cold Weather Flying' for Northrend.  This ability enables you to use the flying mounts you obtained from Outland to use in Northrend.

01) Accept "Aerial Surveillance" (Right next to Weslex, 75.52).

02) Accept "Force of Nature" (from Pilot Vic at 10.62)

03) Once you are at River's Heart in Scholazar Basin turn in "Aerial Surveillance" ... Accept "An Embarassing Incident"

04) "An Embarassing Incident" (This quest has you go in the lake next to you and keep looking at the dirt mounds for the lost key, a lot of them will just spawn mobs, but keep on trying until the key shows up).

05) Once you found the key, turn that quest in ... Accept "Reconnaissance Flight"

06) "Reconnaissance Flight" The majority of this quest is a scripted flight, in which you just watch.  Eventually Pilot Vic asks you to take control of the aircraft and to return to Lakeside Landing on your own. You only have a few seconds to arrive before the aircraft explodes, so open your map and guide yourself toward the River's Heart (The very center of the map) ASAP. Remember once you get back press the 'Land Flying Machine' to land it.  Also look for the little circle of light-blue crystals that pinpoints the landing area.

07) Once that is done turn it in.

08) NOTE:  Turning in that quest unlocks your ability to learn 'Cold Weather Flying', which enables you to use flying mounts in Northrend.  You can use the same flying mounts you obtained in Outland.  This ability will cost you 1000 gold though.  If for some reason you do not have the 1000 gold right now, you can also learn this ability later in Dalaran at Hira Snowdawn (61.45 in Dalaran), or Roxi Ramrocket (at K3 in Storm Peaks).

09) "Aerial Surveillance" This quest has you use the new flightpath you just unlocked to fly to River's Heart, which is the first FP we got when we first entered Scholazar Basin.

10) NOTE: We will come back and do the quests in the River's Heart later.

11) Hearth to Nesingwary Base Camp.

05) Accept "Kick, What Kick?"

07) Once done, turn it in ... Accept "The Great Hunter's Challenge"

08) Also accept "Dreadsaber Mastery: Becoming a Predator" and "Rhino Mastery: The Test"

09) NOTE: Don't worry about specifically killing the 60 mobs you need for "The Great Hunter's Challenge" as you will automatically get those by doing the other 'hunting' quests.

20) "The Bones of Nozronn" (The location to burn the incense is (21.12).  Wait for the dialogue to end, and you complete the quest).

01) Go give the Jungle Punch Sample to Hadrius Harlowe and Hemet Nesingwary right at the base camp for the quest "The Taste Test".  NOTE: Tamara is at River's Heart, but we will do that later on.

02) "Still At It" (First you need to talk to Grimbooze's Assistant right next to Grimbooze, then simply click on the items he tells you to, then loot the barrel that spawns). TIP:  Just stand on top of the bananas and you will be able to stand still there and click on all the other items.  Once done, turn it in ... Accept "The Taste Test"

03) Go to the Nesingwary Base Camp and turn in "Some Make Lemonade, Some Make Liquor" ... Accept "Still At It"

04) Then turn in all other quests and accept all new ones: Turn in "Crocolisk Mastery: The Trial" "The Great Hunter's Challenge" "The Bones of Nozronn" "A Steak Fit for a Hunter" ... Accept "Crocolisk Mastery: The Plan" "Rhino Mastery: The Kill"

09) "Dreadsaber Mastery: Ready to Pounce" (Shango is found at 32.34 just north of Maker's Perch). See Video.

10) Once done, go back to the base camp and turn it in.

11) Go to River's Heart (NOTE: It is faster to just fly there with an epic mount than it is to use the flight path).

07) Accept "Post-partum Aggression"

08) "Post-partum Aggression"  TIP: Don't try to fight the beastie head to head, you will just end up taking a dirt nap.  Instead, ride around the camp in circles, dropping traps and charging back to the Broodmother (at 46.21) when you can and using the Gore ability after you stun it.  Let Hemet do all of the work!  See Video.

09) "Reagent Agent" along with "My Pet Roc" (These are both done at The Bonefields around 56.25)

04) "Returned Sevenfold" Thalgran Blightbringer is located at 66.44, just aggro him and use the Freya's Ward when he starts to cast the Deathbolt. You'll have to use it 2-3 times, just make sure you don't miss a reflect, or the Deathbolt hits you for about 8,000 dmg, See Video.

05) Once that is done, go back and turn it in ... Accept "The Fallen Pillar" and "Salvaging Life's Strength"

06) "Exterminate the Intruders" along with "Weapons of Destruction" (Both are done at Death's Hand Encampment, around 56.41).

07) "Salvaging Life's Strength" (The Sundered Shard is around 71.60).  Use the Lifeblood Gem quest item on the corpses of Lifeblood Elementals.

08) Go back to Freya and turn in "Cultist Incursion" and "Salvaging Life's Strength" ... Accept "Exterminate the Intruders" and "Weapons of Destruction"

09) "The Fallen Pillar" (There is a Cultist Corpse laying on the ground (at 65.60) where you turn this quest in at).  Turn it in there ... Accept "Cultist Incursion"

10) Once those 2 quests are done, go back to Freya and turn them in ... Accept "The Lifewarden's Wrath"

12) Once that is done, go back to Freya and turn it in ... Accept "Freya's Pact"

13) "Freya's Pact" (Simply keep talking to Freya to complete the quest).  Once done, turn it in ... Accept "Powering the Waygate - The Maker's Perch"

01) "Powering the Waygate - The Maker's Perch" The entrance to The Makers Perch is at 29.40, the switch you need to click on is straight ahead inside.

02) Once that is done, go back to Freya and turn it in ... Accept "Powering the Waygate - The Maker's Overlook"

03) Next fly up to Maker's Overlook (up at 80.54) and accept the quest "A Timeworn Coffer" from the box right before the entrance of the Maker's Overlook, See Pic.

04) "A Timeworn Coffer" along with "Powering the Waygate - The Maker's Overlook" The switch is straight ahead inside the Overlook and the key for the coffer randomly drops from one of the Sholazar Guardians.

05) Once those are done and the key for the "A Timeworn Coffer" quest has been turned in, go back to Freya and turn in "Powering the Waygate - The Maker's Overlook" ... Accept "The Etymidian"

06) "The Etymidian" Need to go through the waygate at 40.83, then It takes you to a previously inaccessible location in Un'goro Crater (north of Marshal's Refuge) known as The Shaper's Terrace, follow the path and you will see a big Etymidian where you turn this quest in ... Accept "The Activation Rune"

07) "The Activation Rune" If you look right behind you, you will see a huge staircase leading up into the Sharper's Terrace, the Omega Rune drops from High Cultist Herenn who is straight ahead at the end of the terrace.

08) Once that is done go back to The Etymidian (right outside) and turn in "The Activation Rune" ... Accept "Back Through the Waygate"

09) "Back Through the Waygate" Simply go back through the waygate and then back to Freya to turn this in ... Accept "Reclamation"

10) "Reclamation" Use the Omega Rune to call out your Etymidian (at The Avalanche, due east).  I suggest you start from the bottom of the Avalanche (around 72.43) and climb it killing the mobs on your way, so you learn your 5 abilities that The Etymidian has by the time you arrive at the elites. For the 3 elites it would be useful to clean the area around each of them and only concentrate on them. Be sure you are fully healed with life and mana before every boss fight and DON'T use Titanic Surge during a boss, you get hit 5 times harder during the Surge. Keep in mind the 'Maker's Sanctuary' ability takes you out of combat and heals any mobs totally up that you are currently fighting. See my fun YouTube Video I made.  Here is the info for the 3 elites:

11) Bythius (72.10), Just spam Colossal Strike (Cleave) and Cataclysm at him, don't worry about his dog.

12) Urgreth (78.37), Spam cleave and walked out of the AoE attack.  Worth saving the Reconstruction (heal) if you get a tick on you.  See Video.

13) Hailscorn (78.33), I just held on to Cataclysm (the AoE) and hit it every time the swarm of undead appeared and mashed Colossal Strike otherwise. He didn't cast the swarm about as often as I had Cataclysm up to kill it.  See Video.

14) Once that is done go to Freya to turn in "Reclamation".

Faction Quests (Frenzyheart Tribe & The Oracles)

01) "The Part-time Hunter" (Need to kill Pitch, a black cat down at 20.17)

02) Once you kill Pitch, one of the Frenzyheart Tribe sees you kill him and now has a quest available to accept called "Playing Along", accept it.

03) Go turn in "The Part-time Hunter" (at 50.62 down in Lakeside Landing)

Frenzyheart Tribe

08) Also accept "The Sapphire Queen"

09) "The Wasp Hunter's Apprentice" along with "The Sapphire Queen" (Done at the Sapphire Hive, around 59.79, the Queen is straight at the end of the cave)

01) Go do the following 2 quests south around 52.17:

02) "The Underground Menace" Follow the sandy banks along the river and look for the rumbling loose ground like the worms from HFP. Run over it, Serfex the Reaver pops up.  Level 77 non-elite. You can look for dead wasps on the ground, since Serfix likes to kill them.

03) "Just Following Orders" Go to the Injured Rainspeaker Oracle, at 58.62 and talk to it, kill the croc that pops out, then turn the quest in right there at the Injured Rainspeaker Oracle.

04) Once those 2 are done, go back to Frenzyheart Hill and turn them both in ... Accept "A Rough Ride"

05) "A Rough Ride" There's a big Croc just outside of town (at 57.68). Talk to it to accept the ride.

06) Once the ride is over turn it in (at your companion Gorloc) ... Accept "Lightning Definitely Strikes Twice" and "The Mist Isn't Listening"

07) "The Mist Isn't Listening" along with "Lightning Definitely Strikes Twice" (Both done around 25.37)  (The weather station is the big stone pillar on the edge of the lake in Mistwhisper Refuge, at 45.32)

08) Once those are done, turn them both in at (at your companion Gorloc) ... Accept "Hoofing It"

09) "Hoofing It" Just go back to Frenzyheart Hill (at 55.69) and turn this quest in ... Accept "Just Following Orders"

10) "Mischief in the Making" (Loot these from Skyreach Crystal Formations)

11) NOTE: Turning in that quests makes you hostile with the Frenzyheart Tribe and Friendly with the Oracles.  Don't worry if you think you made the wrong choice as this is part of the storyline between these two factions and there is nothing you can do to control it.

12) Accept "Fortunate Misunderstandings" (from the Injured Rainspeaker Oracle, at 58.62)

13) "Fortunate Misunderstandings" (Talk to him to begin the easy escort quest that takes you to Rainspeaker Canopy, at 53.56)

The Oracles

01) Turn in "Fortunate Misunderstandings" (In Rainspeaker Canopy, 54.16) ... Accept "Make the Bad Snake Go Away"

02) Also accept "Gods like Shiny Things" (From your companion Lafoo)

03) Go do the following 2 quests together [steps 4 - 5]:

04) "Make the Bad Snake Go Away" Venomtip is north-east of the Canopy at 51.57, and can be on either side of the waterfall.  The Emperor Cobra are all around the middle of Scholazar Basin.

05) "Gods like Shiny Things" Make sure you have Lafoo summoned. Look for shiny spots on the ground, which are found all around the Canopy.  Stand over them and Lafoo will dig them up.  Wait for him to dig them up and loot them.

06) Once done, go back to Rainspeaker Canopy, 53.56 and turn them both in ... Accept "Making Peace"

07) "Making Peace" (Shaman Vekjik is up at 51.64)  He will simply not accept making peace and knock you in the middle of the river.

08) Once done, go back (to Rainspeaker Canopy, 53.51) and turn in "Making Peace" ... Accept "Back So Soon?"

09) "Back So Soon?" Turn this in at Mistcaller Soo-gan (at 42.32) ... Accept "The Lost Mistwhisper Treasure" and "Forced Hand"

10) "Forced Hand" along with "The Lost Mistwhisper Treasure" (Treasure is located at 41.19 and the Warlord spawns in the same spot, Make sure Jaloot is summoned (by using the Jaloot's Favorite Crystal quest item) or you will not be able to loot treasure).  Also all the other mobs you need to kill are in the same area.

01) Once those 2 are done, go back to Mistcaller Soo-gan (at 12.68) and turn them in ... Accept "Home Time!"

02) "Home Time!" (Go back to Rainspeaker Canopy, at 54.56) and turn this in ... Accept "The Angry Gorloc"

03) "The Angry Gorloc" Mosswalker Village is around (45.72). Travel there and summon Moodle (with the Moodle's Stress Ball quest item), then turn this quest in ... Accept "Lifeblood of the Mosswalker Shrine" and "The Mosswalker Savior"

04) Then do those 2 quests around the Mosswalker Village:

05) "The Mosswalker Savior" The Mosswalker Victims are being dragged by Blighted Corpses, and are also around just sitting on the ground.

06) "Lifeblood of the Mosswalker Shrine" (Loot Lifeblood Shards, which are found mostly south of Mosswalker Village)

07) Once those 2 quests are done, make sure Moodle is summoned and turn them both in at him ... Accept "A Hero's Burden"

08) "A Hero's Burden" The 77 Elite you have to kill is in a cave and the entrance to the cave is at 70.58.  IMPORTANT: During this battle, when Artruis the Heartless's health gets around 30% or so, both Zepik and Jaloot get unfrozen and they both start attacking you. This is where you make the decision of who you want to side with and do Daily quests from now on with. To make the decision, simply kill either Jaloot (to become honored with Frenzyheart Tribe, but hated with The Oracles) or kill Gorloc (to become honored with The Oracles but hated with the Frenzyheart Tribe). It really doesn't make that big of a difference of who you side with, they will both supply daily quests and it is possible to redue this quest to reside with the other faction in the future if you wish. This quest is hard to solo, although I have seen a lvl 78 Paladin and a lvl 78 mage solo this quest, so you should get one or two other people to help you out.  See Video.

09) Once Artruis is dead turn in "A Hero's Burden" (at Artruis's Phylactery)

10) Then (depending on which one you killed) either go to Zepik and Complete the quest "Frenzyheart Champion" OR go to Jaloot and accept/complete "Hand of the Oracles", then accept the quest "Return of the Friendly Dryskin"

11) Accept "Return of the Lich Hunter" (From Zepik, that is if you killed Jaloot)

12) Go to Rainspeaker Canopy (at 55.69) and turn in "Return of the Lich Hunter" OR...

13) Go to Frenzyheart Hill (at 54.56) and turn in "Return of the Friendly Dryskin"

Daily Quests:

Faction (Frenzyheart Tribe)

01) The following Daily Quests can be done once per day.  I recommend just do them once and then just go to Storm Peaks.  NOTE: There are 8 total Daily quests, but only 4 of them are available each day, so different days will have different quests, once all 8 are done though, you get an achievement.

02) "Chicken Party!" (The Chickens are all around Frenzyheart Hill, and can be (and should be) picked up when mounted).

03) "A Hero's Headgear" First obtain one of the Venture Co. Explosives from one of the mobs at Swindlegrin's Dig (around 35.47), then go up to The Stormwright's Shelf (around 21.64) and kill a Stormwatcher, use the Explosives on it's corpse, then loot the head.

04) "Secret Strength of the Frenzyheart" First go to the Nesingwary Base Camp (at 67.28) and go to Grimbooze Thunderbrew and talk to him to obtain the Thunderbrew's Hard Ale. Next use the Wolvar Berries quest item to obtain the Secret Strength of the Frenzyheart.  Then go south over to Sparktouched Haven (around 30.75) and use the Secret Strength of the Frenzyheart item to kill 30 Oracles. This quest gets turned in at Shaman Jakjek (at 23.13)

05) "The Heartblood's Strength" First go to Suntouched Pillar (up at 33.52) and use the Vial given to fill it up with the water there. Then go north and kill a Goretalon Matriarch (at 51.61), they are red in color, See Pic. Combine the Water with the Heartblood, then go back to Frenzyheart Hill to turn it in.

06) "Tools of War"

07) "Kartak's Rampage"  First go kill Sparktouched mobs (around 31.16) until one of them drops an Oracle Blood. Then go over (to 23.83) and place the blood at the shrine there. Then use the big ape like creature to finish killing the remaining 50 Sparktouched mobs.  Once done, go to Shaman Jakjek (at 23.83) to turn this in.

08) "Strength of the Tempest"  Go up to 74.31 and kill Storm Revenants for 3 Essence of the Storm, and kill Aqueous Spirits for 3 Essence of the Monsoon, then walk over to the shrine at 22.38 and you will automatically get the 'True Power of the Tempest' to complete this quest.  Then go back to Frenzyheart Hill to turn it in.

09) "Rejek: First Blood"

Daily Quests:

Faction (The Oracles)

01) The following Daily Quests can be done once per day and generally are easy and quick to do. I recommend just do them once and then just go to Storm Peaks. NOTE: There are 8 total Daily quests, but only 4 of them are available each day, so different days will have different quests, once all 8 are done though, you get an achievement.

02) "Appeasing the Great Rain Stone"  Just like the quest we did earlier:  Make sure you have Lafoo summoned (by using the Jaloot's Favorite Crystal quest item).  Look for shiny spots on the ground, which are found all around the Canopy.  Stand over them and Lafoo will dig them up.  Wait for him to dig them up and loot them.

03) "Song of Fecundity"  Done at The Stormwright's Shelf (up around 24.35).  Use the Horn of Fecundity quest item on the Soaked Fertile Dirt mounds in the area.

04) "Power of the Great Ones"  First go to The Lifeblood Pillar (at 65.60) and use the Dormant Polished Crystal quest item at the big red crystal there.  Next go west over to (24.82) and use the Energized Polished Crystal quest item there (which makes you a lot stronger) and then kill 30 Frenzyheart mobs.  Once this is done, turn this in at Lightningcaller Soo-met (at Sparktouched Haven, 33.74).

05) "Song of Reflection"  Just fly to the tops of the four intact pillars and activate the Didgeridoo near the crystals in the center. You may have to take out some Cultist Saboteurs at the top of the northern Glimmering Pillar, but otherwise there's no fighting involved. The pillars are hard to miss, but here are the coordinates anyway:

06) The Glimmering Pillar:  19.37

07) The Suntouched Pillar:  33.82

08) The Mosslight Pillar:  76.25

09) The Skyreach Pillar:  23. 59

01) "Mastery of the Crystals"  Chest containing defenses is at 33.45, you can find the frenzyheart around 30.78 (You can find them attacking the Oracle villagers).  If you let the crystals do all the work you won't be able to loot them, so I suggest using an aoe type ability, or doing a little damage to each one before you use the crystals.

02) "Will of the Titans"  Fly to Sparktouched Haven (33.24), and kill Frenzyhearts until one of them drops a Tainted Crystal.  It has a very high drop percentage. Once you've got the crystal, take it to the Great Lightning Stone (33.75), and activate it. This will transform you into Soo-holu, a Spirit Beast which fights like a cross between a rogue, feral druid, and DPS warrior.  With the Soo-holu's power go south-west a bit and kill the wolvar.

03) "Song of Wind and Water"  Done at The Stormwright's Shelf (up around 14.65).  Use the Drums of the Tempest to transform into Haiphoon.  Initially you'll be in his water form, so go after one of the Storm Revenants.  You'll have a Water Bolt for your attack and Frost Nova to hold it in place.  Once it's low on health, use the Devour Wind power.  This will kill the revenant and transform you into Haiphoon's air elemental phase. Now you'll want to go after an Aqueous Spirit.  Alternate between Lightning Bolt and Windshear, the latter of which has a knockback, until its low on health.  Then use Devour Water to go back to the water form. Alternate between the two types of mobs until you've completed the quest.  There are a few things to be aware of:

    Be careful not to kill the quest mobs with Haiphoon's normal attacks. You must devour them to receive quest credit.

    In addition to the elementals, golems called Stormwatchers patrol the area. They're not elite, and you can kill them in either form.

    You can kill both water and air elementals in either form, but you can only use your Devour ability on the opposing element.

    While you're riding Haiphoon, you cannot loot. The corpses do seem to stick around for awhile, though, so if you finish the quest quickly enough you'll be able to loot them before they disappear.

04) "A Cleansing Song"  Atha is at Bittertide Lake (west of Glimmering Pillar).  Ha-Khalan is at River's Hear (middle of map).  Koosu is at Wintergrasp (south of Skyreach Pillar).
