We are not taking the quest [35] Brutal Politics because we decide to be friendly with the Gelkis Centaur Tribe which involves lowering faction with the Magram Centaurs. It doesn’t really matter anyway if the Magram centaurs hate you.

1. Let’s start with [33] Reagents for Reclaimers, kill Hatefury Satyrs in Sargeron, southeast of Nigel’s Point (75,20).

2. When you got 10 Hatefury Claws and 10 Hatefury Horns go west to the area just north of Thunder Axe Fortress (56,17) you will find a ruined caravan there. Look for Malem Chest. It’s not actually a chest, rather a crate. Open it, get the follow up.

3. Go back to Nijel’s Point and get the follow up. Turn in the Satyr quest as well but don’t get the follow up (huge time waste).

Sell and Repair.

4. Go southwest and past Thunder Axe Fortress. Then go west towards the sea until you see a big tower. Azore Aldamort is next to the tower just north of it down the cliff (38,27). Get the quest [33] The Sceptre of Light.

5. From there, go southwest to the shore towards (36,30), you should see the mast of a sunken ship. The Ravnitol Chest is on the shore at (36,30). Open it, and get the follow up quest. Right next to the chest is a black book named “Rackmore’s Log”. Click it and get the quest [36] Claim Rackmore’s Treasure. The Silver Key drops from Drysnap Pincer or Crawler. The Gold Key drops from any Slitherblade Naga.
Take a swim and kill Drysnaps around the ship until you get a Silver Key. It takes about 10 kills on average. Then further north go kill Siltherblade Nagas until you get a gold key. 10 kills on average as well to get a Golden Key.

You should be level 37 by now or close.

Level 37

6. Once you have both keys, go east to the Thunder Axe Fortress. Enter the fortress through the main gate (56,30), go kill the Seer (he has one guard) on top of the 1st watch tower to the left past the gates. Loot the Sceptre of Light.

Then go in the big building and talk to Dalinda, get the follow up quest [33] Search for Tyranis. Tyranis is in the other building (the smaller of the two), southwest of the main one. Kill Tyranis and loot the pendant.

Go back to Dalinda. Before you talk to her, clear the whole building. After you talk to her she will start to walk out of the fortress, escort her and make sure she doesn’t die. Once out of the fortress she will run away and you will get a “Quest Complete” message.

7. Go northeast and back to Nijel’s Point, turn in quests, get follow up [39] The Karnitol Shipwreck.

Sell and repair, next circuit is gonna be long!

4. Then clear yourself a path through the Nagas so that you can reach the statue on the northwestern part of the isle (28,6). Clear the way around the statue, get full health/mana and go click the statue twice. Lord Kragaru will spawn, a lvl 38 Naga. Kill it (soloable at 37) and loot the Book of the Ancients.

Before you go, kill Slitherblade Tidehunters and Slitherblade Sea Witches until one of them drops Karnitol’s Satchel. Takes 15 kills on average (Took me only 4 once, and another time it took 29 kills).

5. Swim back to Azore Aldamort get your rewards.

6. Now go southeast towards the Kodo Graveyard (48,55). Gather 10 kodo bones there, kill the Carrion Vultures if they are in the way. When you loot a bone there’s a 50% chance a lvl 37-38 Kodo Apparition will pop up and attack you. You can run away or deal with it, up to you, they disappear after about 10 minutes.

7. Once you got 10 Kodo bones, run east to Scrabblescrew Camp (60, 61) and get the quest [34] Kodo Roundup. Go back to the Kodo Graveyard and use the Kombobulator Rod on any Ancient, Aged or Dying Kodo. Once you have one tamed, run back with it to the goblin, then right-click on the tamed kodo. Rinse and repeat 5 times to complete the quest.

8. When done with that, go southeast to the Magram Village (70,70) and kill centaurs until you are friendly with the Gelkis (exactly 50 Kills, 46 if you are human). You can check your reputation with the Gelkis Centaur Clan by opening your character panel (”C” key) and clicking on the reputation tab or just directly press “U” key (or replace your exp bar with your reputation bar).

After those 50 kills you should also have 15 Centaur Ears by now, if you don’t, just kill some more centaurs.

9. Go southwest toward the big arch (63,79). Kill 30 Undead Ravagers there. Beware of the Outcast Necromancers, interrupt them when they cast their summon spell. If not, they summon an Undead Ravager. Sticking out tongue

10. When done with the 30 Ravagers, from the big Arch, go west, stay close to the mountain on your left until you reach Gelkis Village. Then go northwest until you find Uthek The Wise (36,79). Turn in the quest [35] Strange Alliance, don’t get the follow up.

11. Take the road east / northeast and then north. Follow the road until you reach Kormek’s Hut (62,38) and turn in [39] Bone Collector.

12. Then go north to Nigel’s Point and turn in all the quests. Get the follow ups:

1. [39] The Karnitol Shipwreck
2. [40] Down the Scarlet Path

Titan Panel XP rate results:

This session started with the Satyr quest and finished right now after turning in all the quests in Nijel’s Point. That was done with a level 36 character with average gear, solo, on a new server (no twink). I’ve tried it with 3 different classes and it works just as well. And there is still two quests to turn in, that’s just to show how efficient the quest path of Desolace can be when done the right way. Smiling

Anyway you should be level 38 by now.

Level 38

Warp to Ironforge, go to the Hall of Explorers and turn in the quest [39] The Karnitol Shipwreck. Train, restock food/drink, sell junk etc. When you are done fly to Menethil Harbor.

2. Go to the ship which is furthest to the south of the Theramore docks and clear your way through it until you reach a room that looks like the captain’s cabin:

In front of you a sea monster will spawn and attack the city. You’ll have 12 marksmen helping you shoot the monster BUT you are not supposed to fire at him with your own weapons. At the docks you’ll see canons which will become useable once the monster attacks for real. Basically your only job here is to run between two of the 3 canons and alternatively fire them at the monster until it is dead. You should be able to get the monster down easily before the marksmen are dead. Be careful of his water stream though, it pushes you back and you’ll have to run back to the canons.

10. When the monster is dead (really nice script) you’ll get some fireworks and you can turn in your quest at Major Mills.
