World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade - Caverns of Time: Mount Hyjal



Caverns of Time: Mount Hyjal will ship with World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade expansion retail launch. The dungeon requires 25 player raid groups. However, not everyone can enter the dungeon. This dungeon requires many pre-requisites:

1. You must be level 70

2. Complete Caverns of Time: Durnholde (Old Hillsbrad) and Complete Caverns of Time: Dark Portal (Black Morass).

3. Talk to Soridormi (Adult) - the consort of Nozdormu. You may find her roaming around the clockwork in Caverns of Time. She will give you a quest titled: The Vial's of Eternity.

However, this is no 1-2-3 immediate quest. To acquire the two vials of eternity requires the completition of many quest chains that will take months to accomplish and good gear.

4. You must complete the Cipher of Damnation quest chain in Shadowmoon Valley and the Stormspire quests in Netherstorm. The Stormspire quest chain starts in Area 52 with the Consortium Ethereal. The chain ends when Nexus-Prince Harammad sends you to A'dal with a crystal. Maybe you should have talked to Akama at the Warden's Cage in Shadowmoon Valley.

5. A'dal will give you the Arcatraz Key quest: The crystal key is divided in two halves. The first half is held by the last boss of Tempest Keep: Botanica - Splintertree. The second half is held by the last boss of Tempest Keep: Mechanar. Once you assemble the Arcatraz Key and have completed the two quest chains: Stormspire and Cipher of Damnation -- Khadgar will talk to you, asking you to talk to A'dal. A'dal will give you the Kael'Thas dungeon key chain quest. The key is named Tempest Key - for the final showdown with Prince Kael'Thas Sunstrider.

6. Brace yourself - - you need to be revered with the Sha'tar Reputation faction to obtain the Tempest Keep Heroic-Dungeon key, Revered with the Lower City to obtain the Auchenai Key to unlock the Auchindoun Dungeons in Heroic-mode, Revered with the Cenarion Expedition to unlock the Heroic-mode for Coilfang Reservoir dungeons, and Revered with Thrallmar/Honor Hold to unlock the Heroic-mode Difficulty for Hellfire Citadel dungeons. Hope you have had fun reading this far.

7. Complete Trial of the Naaru: Mercy; Trial of the Naaru: Strength; and Trial of the Naaru: Tenacity. No easy task ... for you have to complete the three trials in Heroic-mode. Trash mobs hit for 15,000 non-crit damage, no less. You have to kill Murmur in Auchindoun: Shadow Laberynth, retrieve an unused Axe of the Executioner from Hellfire Citadel: Shattered Halls, Kalithresh's Trident in Coilfang Reservoir: Steamvaults, and to rescue Millhouse Manastorm (gnome) after killing the last boss of Tempest Keep: Arcatraz. Once you have completed those four dungeons in Heroic-mode, return to A'dal and he will grant you the Tempest Key to enter Prince Kael'Thas dungeon -- which requires 25 players. Kill Kael'Thas and loot his Vial of Eternity.

8. Now you need to kill Lady Vashj and loot her Vial of Eternity. No data has been gathered concerning the requirements to enter Lady Vashj's dungeon.

9. By now you should be Friendly with the Scales of the Sands faction.

10. Now you can enter Caverns of Time: Mount Hyjal

In this dungeon you go back in time 4 years into the past to fight alongside Malfurion Stormrage, Tyrande Whisperwind, Thrall, and Jaina Proudmoore against Archimonde and the Burning Legion. Your mission is to stop the Infinity Dragonflight from altering time.


THE VIALS OF ETERNITY

INTRO

Soridormi: The Battle of Mount Hyjal is one of the most well-guarded events of this timeline. Should an intruder alter its outcome, the impact would extend to all subsequent moments in history.

As the Aspect's prime mate I'm far more in tune with the flow of time than other bronze dragons. I recently sensed a minute ripple in time emanating from the events surrounding the Battle of Mount Hyjal. Someone or something is attempting to change this timeline and they must be stopped.

Soridormi: Seven vials were drawn from the Well of Eternity by Illidan. He poured three into the lake on top of Mount Hyjal and a second Well of Eternity was created. For years the rest were believed lost.

With the opening of the Dark Portal, we've come to know that he gave one each to his lieutenants Kael'thas and Vashj. Retrieve what remains of them; we wil need them as foci to open a gateway to any events tied to Mount Hyjal, recent or ancient. The outcome of the Battle of Mount Hyjal must be preserved.

I've asked the impossible of you, yet I expect you to succeed. Much depends on it.


QUEST OBJECTIVES

Soridormi at Caverns of Time wants you to retrieve Vashj's Vial Remnant from Lady Vashj at Coilfang Reservoir and Kael's Vial Remnant from Kael'Thas Sunstrider at Tempest Keep.

Rewards: 24g 60s
 
6. Brace yourself - - you need to be revered with the Sha'tar Reputation faction to obtain the Tempest Keep Heroic-Dungeon key, Revered with the Lower City to obtain the Auchenai Key to unlock the Auchindoun Dungeons in Heroic-mode, Revered with the Cenarion Expedition to unlock the Heroic-mode for Coilfang Reservoir dungeons, and Revered with Thrallmar/Honor Hold to unlock the Heroic-mode Difficulty for Hellfire Citadel dungeons. Hope you have had fun reading this far.

Count me out. The one thing I absolutely abhor about this game is the faction grinding.
 
The faction in Beta wasn't that hard, however I think they buffed the rep rewards to allow you to gain faction more quickly....am I right with that?
 
Is it possible to just have one person "unlock" heroic mode and let them be the raid leader to piggyback the other 24 people in?
 
I assume that it only takes 1 person to unlock it. And as Anita said (at least in beta) the faction "grind" wasn't much of a grind at all. I did each of the Hellfire Citadel instances 2 or 3 times - just trying to get a feel for them, plus all of the quests in the first zone, and was almost revered with Honor Hold. I haven't checked my Cenarian rep, Sha'tar rep, etc, but so far, rep hasn't been as brutal as it was with Timbermaw Hold, Cenarion Circle, Argent Dawn, or Thorium Brotherhood.

I think revered should be a fairly attainable goal.
 
They have buffed rep gain in the xpac, but remember that you will be getting rep from killing trash in instances now. I wanna say you get Sha'tar rep for doing any instance other than Hellfire Citadel, but I don't recall all the details. Anyway, I don't think it will be as bad (for that faction at least) as most rep grinds are now.
 
I've seen a lot of the "prereq" instances... they're not that hard. Murmur's pretty easy as long as you stay away from each other :)


IMHO these "Epic Quests" give you something to do to break up the monotony of endgame.
 
Kind of off topic, and kind of not, I have a question about the Caverns of Time. I have a quest that I picked up in Silithis (while playing Reasonable) a while back to discover the Brood of Nozagiougioahoa. However you spell that. Something about discovering the Caverns of Time in Tanaris. I've looked all around that place and I can't find anything. Anyone mind pointing me in the right direction by chance please?
 
Nozdromo?

Actually (to my great annoyance) Brood of Nozdromo has NO effect on the Caverns of Time :( They added two other Bronze Dragonflight reputations for Caverns of Time. Brood of Nozagiougioahoa is only for AQ40, it seems.

However... back to the question at hand.

The Caverns of Time is smackdab in the center of eastern Tanaris. You know the cave you go through to fight the pirates? Well, inside that ring-shaped mountain structure.

It's guarded by three large bronze dragons. The biggest one cannot be killed, but fighting them does bad things to your Brood of Nomuimuinukunukuapua'a rep.
 
Hmmmm. That's a bit of a pain since I killed two of the dragons to get close enough to the cave to complete the Silithus quest.
 
actually since the 2.0.1 patch, they moved the dragons to the side. you can ride right up to the Caverns of Time now.

Riding into the entrance to the tunnel should complete the quest for you, Reason
