Samophlange Manual

Bring the Samophlange Manual to Rilli Greasygob in Orgrimmar.

	Samophlange Manual

Description

I think I can fix the samophlange, but I'm going to need the user's manual first. When I was in the Venture Company I had a rival, Boss Copperplug, who hoarded the secrets of the samophlange, giving out small bits of knowledge on the device to those he trusted. I wasn't one of the trusted few...

Boss Copperplug used to stay at the Boulder Lode Mine in northeastern Barrens. Get the manual from him, and if he's given pages from it to anyone, you'll have to collect them too.

You get the pages off of the following: (you need 5 total)
- https://classicdb.ch/?npc=3283
- https://classicdb.ch/?npc=3286
- https://classicdb.ch/?item=11148

Then you get the cover from: (can be found inside the cave)
- https://classicdb.ch/?npc=9336
- https://classicdb.ch/?item=11147

This gives you this (once combined):

only thing that really sucks about this last quest is the walk from the graveyard. its about 15 minutes and by the time you return respawns have already claimed your corpse as their personal %^&*!.

The mine is far up in the NE corner of the Barrens and is clearly on the Map. The fastest way to here is to take the back exit from Orgrimmer. Running from Org only takes about 3 minutes. So South after you cross the bridge out of Org. You should see the mine on your map. Bear right around the mountain and you will come across the road. Follow the road up the hill. The mine is at the top.

You need to collect 5 missing pages from the manual first. You do this by killing mob around the mine.

Once you have the missing 5 pages, proceed to the mine, which is to the left of the tower. Copperplug is deep in the mine. Just keep going till you find him. I soloed this as a lvl 24 Rogue. If you are careful, you should be able to solo it level 22-24 without a problem. Level 20, you might want some help.

Once you have recovered the Manual, open your bags and right-click on the missing 5 pages, which will reconstruct the full manual. Now you can Hearth out and turn in the quest. If you plan on fighting your way out, be aware that most of the mob will have respawned. It is almost faster to just Hearth out and wait for your 1 hour cooldown than to try and fight your way out of this place.

Happy hunting.

Very fast respawn rates. Be careful pulling, if you die you have to run all the way back from Crossroads and the entire cave will respawn by the time you get back. Which makes it very hard to find anywhere to rez in the cave. I died twice doing this quest and had to clear the entire cave 3 times because of the respawn rates.

If you must die, die with purpose: try running (and dying) right near Copperplug).

Then respawn and jump immed onto the barrel behind him. This will make you unreachable to them (and v.v, they will evade).

Powerup, then jump down, making your next life's aim: to KILL HIM and TAKE THE DROPs (Manual etc.)

At least when you die, you can just harvest the pages from the mobs outside the mine instead.

My advice is... don't die!
The corpse run is all the way from the crossroads so you stand little chance of escape from re-spawned mobs in the tunnel, take lots of healing pots.
Good luck all

After you get the quest, you can just go out of Ogrimmar and cut across the river and you'll end up right near the Boulder Lode. When you turn it in, you can cut back the same way.

I just did this quest as a Restoration INT/SPI tauren druid level 19. Killed them one by one, carefully calculating the range and looking around the corner of the tunnels. 2 times I had to fight two, managed to survive and then reached the boss room. Was able to lure everyone to me one by one put aside the boss and the two hiding in the small tunnel to the right (You can ignore those). Moved on the left side and Wrath him 3 times before he was able to walk around the small step, then fought him with some Rejuvenation on. Quite easy actually.

I'm a lvl 18 UD priest, and with a power word shield up i can take one on without losing any life or mana (just a curse then my wand) and they're dead before the shield is gone. If I did agro 2, i could still kill them both easily (never dropped below 1/2 life). Just be careful about pulls, i almost died when i pulled 3, but my psychic scream saved me.

I did not get the choice between these two items... it was a choice between a mace and a shield, neither of which I can use. I made sure to use WOW Update after logging, so hopefully the quest will be fixed on this site.

I did it as a 20 druid, was pretty easy, only got chased out of teh cave once, just watch for patrols and take no more than 2 at a time, use car form and fairie

After reading these comments I felt like I was preparing to solo Molten Core. However it was really pretty easy as a lvl 19 warrior.

- Be patient
- Pull with ranged weapon (even if you're a rogue imo)
- Hamstring (or equivalent if you have it to slow runners)
- Look for patrols before each pull
- They run on <20% hp. Save a little dps burst for then
- Be careful you don't miss any when you get to Copperplug. Tab for closest target or you'll end up with a big pull.

Had no problems at all doing this.

Stoneclaw totem is your friend.&nbsp Pull carefully, but throw down a Stoneclaw when you get an add.&nbsp Let the add attack that while you whale on the first mob.&nbsp You can often heal before they kill it.&nbsp And bring lots of milk and melon juice - it's a long way in there and you'll need to heal a lot.&nbsp I nearly died a couple times, but always managed to get one last earth shock FTW.

Little tip for this quest, First their are plenty of quests in progress in sludge fen, by that I mean people questing their always & the rogues poison quest is also on a hill in sludge fen. I suggest seeking a player to co-op or more, guaranteed to find help within 2min. and plenty of decent lvl.15-17 items in the cave along with the only area I've ever seen "flasks of oil" which sell well to engineers.

simple for a 18 hunter... profession engineering... I have pet aggro everything and toss in a stick of dynamite and an exploding sheep, drops the whole room.
That's how I pretty much do everything in the game thoug... so overpowered lol, I love watching xp spam my screen... I have more fun with this then my 60 rogue.

I soloed this at level 21 on my druid. I stealthed into the cave the first time and could not find the boss. 10 minutes later I got the cat's eye gem for another quest (random drop), and all 5 pages of the manual so I stealthed back in to see if I could find him.

In the cave, there is a room that is larger than the other small open areas. In this room is a tent - the boss should be standing under the tent. If he's not there, stay stealthed and in a corner for 10 minutes and he should respawn. Watch for pats.

If you are stealthed and going in, make sure to stay AWAY from the fires! if you burn, they see you and 2-3 could aggro onto you at once. Err on the side of walking too close to one rather than walking too close to the fire.

I just solo'd this quest as a 20 hunter, the method I used was a combination of not sucking and common sense.&nbsp Also, people are vastly exaggerating the respawn rate, I was disconnected in the middle of a run, had time to leave the game, wait a minute, log back in, and still only the first two mobs I'd killed had respawned.&nbsp Just send in your pet, Hunter's Mark, Arcane Shot and Concussive Shot, maybe one melee attack and they're gone.

Alrighty -- as a lvl 20 shadow priest it took me about 15-20 mins to clear the cave (no deaths). Move fairly quickly and be sure to watch for pats. The boss Copperplug is in the large chamber, so take that first left instead of continuing straight. (There were just extra mobs over there and no chest (for me at least).) Before you pull Copperplug, clear the two mobs down in the ditch to your right. That will leave you with just Copperplug and one other to deal with.

Be perpared to hearth out afterwards. Otherwise, you will have to fight your way back out. Bleck.

This is a great quest to pair with Miner's Fortune for the Cat's Eye Emerald.

Play smart and you will do fine. Good luck!

It's not worth it. Every time you die you have to ghostwalk 1/2 of the map. The the cave is so full w/ mobs... it should be instance. Almost impossible to do it alone.

I did this quest when i got to level 20. I am a troll hunter... it was pretty easy to do for a hunter. I would just pull the mobs to me one by one in that cave and kill them. I used immolation traps to soften the mobs.

I can see it being a bit harder for non-ranged characters though...

btw...i did get a choice between those two items. So the quest is accurate on the site here.
