Completed this quest last night as a solo lvl 32 fire/arc spec'd mage.

Actually I cleared this cave top to bottom twice, and the lower half a third time as I hunted for Uthil, for some reason I had a hard time navigating and locating him. 2 clears because I ventured down in there before I realized there was a quest for the area. :)

Dying in this cave is a serious pain in the butt - the long walk, fast respawns and mob spacing pretty much dictate that you have to rez right next to a mob and fight him immediately, and risk getting an add (or two!) right after that. If you die, I recommend finding an alcove that has only one mob in it, rez, and go all out on him with your whole bag of tricks before healing up (for the mage, druids were less dangerous than assassins so that's the rez mob of choice for me). Then just assume that the whole cave has respawned, because it probably has.

I had a hard time finding Uthil until I realized that there are two very similar looking rooms. In both cases, as you enter from above there is an arched bridge ahead of you and a pathway to the left: the pathway splits into a tunnel and a U-turn to the right (usually a mob hiding in the lee of the U). The second such room, if you follow the U-turn, will take you directly to Uthil.

Because respawn rates are high and everything's humanoid, this is a great place to farm for silk, if you can stand the tight quarters. Picked up about 120 silk and >20,000 xp in 2.5 full clears of the cave.

If you're careful and patient with your progress and pulling, you can fight almost every monster 1v1 with no adds. I also had no problems with the druids healing because I saved an instant attack in reserve for just such an occasion (or just CS'd 'em). That might be more difficult for classes without instant attacks.

Mages: fireballs are your friend against the assassins. DoT breaks their stealth, though you may have to retarget. IAM is also money, and if you get in trouble, Frost Nova. Don't blow your FN wad early, use it for when they stealth and disappear completely on you.

Also note: sheeped assassins can still disappear. Wacky.

If you want to solo this as a hunter, wait til lv32. I found it invaluable for all those stealthed undead.

My lvl 33 Druid just couldn't do this quest alone. The bosses keep healing themselves (mana seems unlimited) and undead constantly appear out of nowhere. Lucky if you don't fight 3 mobs at once all the time (most lvl 30ish). BRING FRIENDS!

If you're a Paladin/Hunter and you're still having trouble finding the named mobs, activate Sense/Track Undead. Forsaken are humanoid, Druids are undead.

I soloed this with my 34 rogue, but when the first guy got low on hp I gouged him, then used evicerate to finish him off so he never got a chance to heal himself.

Just finished up this quest last night.&nbsp It was more tedious than it was difficult..then again, I'm a lvl 36 hunter so it shouldn't have been that challenging.

Hunter's mark is excellent for tagging the cloaked rouges, but sometimes I wasn't fast enough on the draw so I used the flare ability that Hunters get.&nbsp Works great..also helps groups see cloaked chaps.

This quest ain't so hard, just have to be patient.
You can easily pull mobs 1 at a time, just move slowly and prepare for the unseen, keep you health and mana at max all time so you can strike when needed.

The bosses aren't aggresive, which means you can take out the mobs next to the boss without having to fight the boss at the same time. Then when all is cleared around them you can attack the boss.

Most bosses aren't really hard, the healing one can be tough though, especially when you lack the ability to heal yourself, so take potions to cover for that one.

watch out for Taneel Darkwood, your might want to be in a party just to kill him. I was a level 33 warrior, and I had trouble killing him. Once he gets down to about 20% health, he heals himself full. I had to get into a party to kill him. But the others I easily soloed

I really enjoyed this quest, only died once against the Druid who goes heal crazy as soon as you start fighting him. As someone pointed out before make sure you have plenty of arrows/bullets for this and plenty of food and mana potion. As you will be using a lot of healing for your pet and it will drain your mana. Always send your pet in first, wait until he's gotten the enemy down to half life and then attack, and watch your back, these guys revive quick! I got lots of xp even at lv 35, so I'll probably go back until I get to lv 36. -)

I was doing this quest on my Warlock and noticed something, each druid breaks the rules of druids. Now I know druids, and druids can not:
Use Shdaow Word: Pain
Cast Lightning Bolt
Wield Axes

The quest title is right, these are some insane druids.

Pretty easy quest to do as a level 35 fire Mage. The quest was gree to me so I knew it would not be too hard to complete. I can't use the reward but the exp and faction is useful.

Once you enter the underground lair take your time and kill one mob at a time. I fought my way down and to the right the whole way and found all the required named mobs. Easy kills but managed to take some adds here and there but I did not encounter any deaths or even any close calls.

Several green magical items dropped off the guard and patrol mobs:

Robust Tunic of the Monkey
Viking Sword of the Monkey
Firestarter
Superior Buckler of the Boar

After killing all three named mobs it's much more easy to hearth or port out. I ported out to Darn and flew to Azshara where it's a much shorter run to turn in the quest.

Besides the item reward, I got 3200 exp and 165 reputation points with Darnassus.

Excellent description and coords, i did this quest as a lvl 29 shadowpriest, and i was just gonna point out to the fellow priests here, if you do this before you have silence ManaBurn is your friend.

(This is only on the first druid, the others are cake)

Manaburn drains for ~100-200 each on that level and he had something like 1800 mana, shield up spam manaburn, dot up and start wanding.

When he regains enough mana to cast a spell manaburn again, bring a pot to be safe because he is extremely hard if you dont have any interupt abilities.

Solo'd as a LV34 Warlock, pretty easy. Hardest part was getting back out, I tried to hurry and avoid/run instead of fighting all the mobs (which BTW didn't work very well). As long as you're careful, look for the Stealthed guys and take out the wandering mobs first you should be fine.

Finished this as a lvl 29 NE Hunter It was not real hard as long as you know how to use your pet and take your time going through the cave. Each of the druids will not attack you until your attack first. This is good because you can clear out the room then send in the pet to attack. Each of them will focus on the pet and you can simply load em with arrows!

Soloed this as a lv32 Warrior. The druid that healed himself took me out the first time (I was lv30 at the time), came back with a 1.90 blue sword and ripped him a new one before he could reduce me to less than 50% HP.
The only time I had trouble was when after having fought 2 undead Rogues, 2 more came without me having chance to heal, then after THEY were dead a Dreamer came. After having sent him and his horse back from whence he came, I had used my Greater Healing Potion and was left standing with 19 HP.
Luckily I had bandages and food, so I survived fine.

Other two druids fell like traffic cones at a teenagers driving lesson.

i've been painstakingly crawling through for 2 hours. I've seen him on my minimap, but
don't know which level his dot's referring to. When people say "the first druid is easy and locacted at X" it doesn't help because your "first" could be different than mine.. ghrr.. use names plz..

i would definitely say this quest is worth the trouble.
i did it as a 36 priest and the only difficult thing was orientation in that *!@#ing cave (but the instructions on this site work). the druids are very easy to kill. u only have to be careful of the assasins and other bastards that pop out of the dark-go slowly and don't run. mostly i used shadow word pain+holy fire+starshards and i can confirm it is very efficient.mana burn is also a good choice. bring a lot of mana drinks though cause the mobs are usually one after the other so after each three u have to drink cause they drain your mana. i only died once when i was low on mana, took the wrong turn so 4 jumped me.
i got cca 200 xp per kill + 3 stacks of silk cloth +1 stack of wool cloth + some nice green items for sale on AH. all in all-definitely worth it!

u gain 3200 xps in this quest. this quest should be attempted with at least 2 people if u are in ur early 30's.

pretty easy at level 30 NE rogue with a level 27 NE Druid as the healer., the only druid that caused a problem was the first cause i missed kicks when he was healing so it took longer thant it should have.

Any who spoiler below about where i found the druids(dunno if there are more spawns)

First is across the bridge that is directly in front of you as you come down the winding path(with a second bridge adjacent and angling to the right. Then we took a rule of thumb and went Right at the fork went on down to the next fork and went right again and found the second druid in bear form cake. came back and went left(second stop) and went up the platform path and right. Night elves should note that this resembles the relics of awakening quest and that third druid is found in the room where you find the last relic. as the druids dont attack you until you attack them, just make sure youve dominated all other mobs before you rush in and attakc the druids.

House is at 75, 75

Tried this as a 30 druid. Fought/stealthed my way down to the first named druid on the list (Taneel Darkwood), across the bridge once you get down the first spiral. Managed to kill him, even though he was a pain in the rear. He heals, and casts Shadow Word: Pain. He finally died when he ran out of mana. Went to look for the next one, died and never managed to rez, so I just used the spirit healer. I definitely recommend having a partner for this quest.

Edit to add: Druids, be sure to use faerie fire on the assassins, so they don't disappear on you.

This cave is the same layout as from relics of the awakening, with the bosses in the same spots as 3 of the relics were. The spawn times aren't too fast, about 3 mins, by then you should be a couple kills on. If any kill takes you over 30 seconds then you are in over your head.

It says that you get 69oo XP, and I belive that there is something wrong.. Anyway, I got 3200 exp @ lvl 32. It's not to hard.. If you go in, two characters is enough..

Died deep down due to adds as a 30 rogue.
You need to bring ways of healing up (potions / bandages / food) in order to beat the respawn. A way to maybe stop the undead assassins from vanishing (and somehow continuing to attack you whilst stealthed!) is to coat your weapons with damage over time poisons. I didn't try it because I enjoy using gouge / backstab too much.

Duo-ed with a 29 hunter no problem. Mobs weren't lasting more than 5 seconds.

Ok, since it is actually kinda hard to give specific directions in this kind of dungeon (withthe levels being really annoying) the best advise one can give is to tell people to just stay left or right whenever you reach the dungeon's first intersection. If you have the time you will eventually make it up again and have killed all three bosses. The trick with this is that if you just choose to go to the same side for an entire dungeon you cannot miss it.

I did this quest on my first main char a druid back when WoW was first out and boy is it still as annoying now. I am logged out in the dungeon now because I couldn't get to the last one (the one way down) last night.

One boss is located right across the bridge from where you exit the long tunnel going DOWN into the cave. There are 3 bridges at that point and the middle one takes you to a druid (cant remember his name). Iirc the lowest boss is situated on a balcony in the lowest part of the dungeon.

I can confirm the coords on the house, though.

This almost goes without saying, but don't pull the ghosts before the area is completely clear. They won't aggro (hence Saylee's note about them being "yellow" con) until you attack.

Hunters, watch your use of multi-shot here. It can get you in trouble early if you're not cautious.

This quest is listed at level 32 and rightly so. Doesn't need to be elite either.

A lv32 hunter can solo this without a problem. lv32 gives you flare, enough time to use Hunter's Mark. Hunter's pet will continue attacking the mob even if the undead rogues use the fading thing.

Target pet, press F, and voila.

Easy. Decent green drops, at least for me. And plenty of silk cloth to sell.

Completed this solo as a L32 NE R. Slow and steady wins the quest. I tried stealthing past the initial mobs in the entrance tunnel, but found it easier just to kill them one at a time so I didn't have to worry about patrolling mobs coming up behind me.

The mobs thin out after you get past the initial tunnel entrance. Killing Taneel, Uthil, and Mavoris is easy as they don't aggro until you strike first...preferably from behind with a DOT like Garotte. You MUST pull the guard mobs (usually two) that will be close to each of them. I used a good bow to pull each of them out, then went after the prime targets in each case.

After you kill the last Druid, you can stealth your way out, Hearthstone back to town, or Vanish/Sprint if you get detected since the back-spawn will have filled the entrance tunnel with mobs again by the time you get done.

Worst quest, that I've ever seen. If you kill them, one by one, that's too slow. If you try to sneak, then there are those invisible undeads, and those patroling undead druids. It's not an easy quest I think. You can kill all mobs easily, but you can't sneak, so it takes too much time.

This quest does not need to be elite, I had no trouble soloing it as a lvl 32 hunter.

I'm a level 28 druid, I grouped with a level 29 rogue and we did it with no problems.

Solod this quest as a level warrior. Should have done it sooner but got side tracked. Was very simple unless you pull more than two mobs at a time, I took out three but it was in the begining of the cave where the guys are lvl 28. All in all a simple quest if you take it slow and keep your eyes and ears open.

Yeah this one sucks to say the least... cramped space+rogue undead+druid enemies healing themselfs=frustrating death... thats not even figuring in the fact that the place is a maze... i found and killed one only found another on my radar (i'm a hunter) but couldnt get to him..this place is to hard to do alone so dont bother.

Side note... Has any one noticed that some of the rooms in this place are bugged? you can't pull enemies out of them and you cant shoot in with out them evadign every shot and auto healing. (one of them had a warlock undead in it that kept making felsteeds he had 4 of them before i decided to commit suicide to get out of their). this doesnt make this place any easier.
