Kommentar von 473253

Arnokk der Brenner is a 91 elite Orc with a love for flamethrowers. He has a few nasty attacks:

Fiery Blast - his weapon spews a line of fire while Arnokk turns around his axis. He turns faster than you can run, so best back up when you see him cast this to be out of his range.

Burn - he throws fire in a mediumsized cone in front of him.

Scorching Earth - he aims his weapon on the ground and once it starts spewing fire, he walks backwards to create a path of fire on the ground.

He also has a wave of adds joining him at intervals; best AoE them down.

Kommentar von Roksta

I've completed the scenario and forgot to take this quest, now i can't get it completed :(

Kommentar von Dziewona

To people who have dropped the quest and don't know how to re-get it:

My roommate was in a party with me when we were doing this quest. However, she missed the first step and had to go back to get Aronakk. However, since we'd finished the scenario, he was no longer up. Figuring she could just drop the quest and pick it back up, starting fresh, she abandoned the quest, only to end up out of the phased Karabor and unable to get the quest where it indicated on the map.

She said she found it when she was headed for the flight point at Karabor, with the quest being available for her in front of the Temple, not to the side of it, as the map indicates.

According to Karadine, this NPC is Akama at 70.7, 46.2

Kommentar von mystery8

After completing the scenario my quest was still not marked as complete and I could not use the Fey Drake at the end.

I dropped the quest, hearthed out and came back and re-tried. Same bug happened.

A guildmate said that if I died after the cutscene that it would allow the quest to complete. i did not get a chance to try this as when I used my Garrison Hearthstone to hearth out (I still had quest in my log), it failed with a "Instance not found" error.

Suddenly my quest completed and I was able to use the Drake to leave.

Relogging didn't help. Hopefully this helps someone. This quest was pretty awesome, shame to have it bug out at the end.

The same guildmate just confirmed that killing himself by jumping off someplace high right after the cutscene finished did the trick. The quest completed.

A number of people are reporting that if you successfully hearth out and return it'll be completed.

Kommentar von 1317784

I have gotten to the end of this quest and Yrel is telling me to get on the Enchanted Fey Dragon and return to my garrison but there is no option to do so.

Kommentar von Nockd

At the end of this quest I was unable to mount the fey dragon until I approached some mobs and let them kill me. Once I died I got the completion and was able to mount the dragon and leave.

I recommend removing your gear before allowing them to kill you.

Kommentar von snags

Finished the scenario but didn't get credit for the quest, after multiple attempts and abandoning etc.

Eventually while looking up info in here/forums I was killed by random minions further back towards the fire guy and was then given credit for the quest and could jump on the dragon to leave.

So.. if you can't jump on the dragon at the end, go find something to kill you.

Kommentar von excalibrax

I went out to the water and drowned my self, upon spawning, the quest was complete.

Kommentar von chrisbowman

I had trouble mounting the drake, i abandoned the quest without leaving the harbor, ran back to the quest giver than ran back to the drake, was able to mount

Kommentar von Lickmycritt

For all of you crazies out there killing yourself to complete this quest

STOP

If you just wait around for a bit it'll complete. I was reading these comments & went to jump off to drown - as previously suggested - and as soon as I alt-tabbed back in, it completed.

Worked for my girlfriend and I both.

Kommentar von 1398103

Ok, I've had some MAJOR problems with this quest, but here's what I did.

From the start of the quest, I beat Arnokk, cleared a path (beat 5 guys), met Yrel at Karabor Harbor, Defended K'ara from invaders, defeated Commander Vorka, got the message that the scenario is complete, in chat Yrel says to take the fey dragon and meet at the garrison. There's no option to take the fey dragon. I was stuck! So I used my garrison hearth hoping that would help, it didn't. I went back down to Karabor Harbor, thinking that maybe I could jump on the dragon now? Instead it prompted me to start all over again - as soon as I got there the scenario restarted from the begining asking me to beat Arnokk again. I went through the whole thing all over to find the exact same result.

The FIX:

I killed myself. I jumped off the balcony which didn't kill me unfortunately so I jumped in the harbor and sat there underwater until I drowned. I resurrected and walked down the steps towards the fey dragon and yay! I had a mouseover arrow icon to jump on the dragon to fly it out of the scenario! The dragon flew me out and I ended up in Embaari Village to complete the quest.

Hope this helps!

CREDIT to user mystery8 for his edit - giving me the idea to kill myself. Thanks!

Kommentar von Bthoven

As many others have said, this quest is bugged at the end and you may not be able to mount the drake.

Some ppl have mentioned waiting, but I waited a good 15 minutes and nothing changed. I tried moving far enough away from the drake to have it disappear, but that didn't work either.

Eventually I had to strip down and let a mob kill me and I immediately got credit.

Kommentar von Cloudburst

At time of writing (14 Nov 2014, 3:40 CST), the only thing I had to do to be able to mount Raindash was relog. Don't know if this worked for anyone else; confirmation would be helpful.

Kommentar von Westy543

I finished the quest but was not able to mount Raindash. I used my Garrison Hearthstone, then took a flight path to the temple, and was then awarded progress on finishing the defense. Ran back to Yrel for turn-in.

Kommentar von 1190201

I'm having trouble killing this one. I'm a level 92 Windwalker Panda and I do okay until the adds come out, then all of them gang up and kill me. Any suggestions? I see the fire and such that he throws/spews, but dang! I'm unable to bring him down. My ilvl is 532. Help ?

Kommentar von warmgeoff

Well, my issue is not unlike below comment; 92 elite w/175k HP vs crap-geared toon PLUS like 5 adds. Now, the adds are not that bad, alone, but then fire-food comes over to fire you up, and he de-aggros if you try to hit/run/kite--not working for me-serial deaths...tried cat/balance...waiting to get back in and try bear--but we only have like 2 or 3 atticks... help for a poopy-butt drood?

OK--came back in after a good repair job and more courage (and some butt-hurt balm), and played a hit-n-run with him--switching to bear for mobs (take them away from Arnokk area), and used some measured, slower-kill patience. Works like a charm. Unless you have an agro pet, or some fierce equipment and skill, you aren't going to be able to get in his face and tank him--IMO. I have done this now with 4-5 toons, and I think the slow-kill is the only way for certain toons--agree?

I died just after killing the boss at the end. LOL. Came alive while instructions were given to use the Fey Dragon. Never even saw a Fey Dragon so I hearthed back to my Garrison as that is where quest says to meet. Could see the yellow question mark but no one to turn into. Looked here to see that it has been bugged and seemed to require a death (which I did already, must I really again?) So I saw the turn in maybe at Embari Village. Flew there and turned in the quest! Hope this helps.

Kommentar von 1399432

how in heaven's name am i able to complete this quest with my priest if those orcs jump out twice and kill me when i am at Arnokk the burner! it has me killed 8 times now! HOw do i complete this rotten quest with my priest?

Kommentar von gumby760

How about some real info about the quest? I can't find this commander guy I'm supposed to kill and nothing is marked on my map. Kinda stuck

Kommentar von 1399850

Ok squishy Mage I used the garrison ability after dying a bajillion times and it worked like a charm. You know the one where you can call 4 or 5 helpers. I didn't think it would work but thought I'd try it and it worked.

** HOW TO PICK UP THE QUEST AGAIN AFTER YOU'VE ABBANDONED IT **

I had so much trouble dealing with this quest. I got phased into the scenario and literally spent almost 2 hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong (this was on the launch day of WoD.) It accured to me, it was bugged, after doing the exact same thing on an alt with no problem at all. I was forced to hearth out of the scenario and abbandon the quest. Now heres the tricky part.

I could not find anywhere to pick up the quest again. I ran back to the place I got it the first time and the places where the questgiver would show up on the map. I then ran towards the scenario on the world map. At the start of the first set of stairs, the scenario suddenly started. It said I had to kill Arnokk aswell. But I didn't have the quest (?) I ran all the way up to the fountain and there he was. The questgiver. So you literally can't pick this up, if you're not zoned into the scenario.

I hope this somehow may have helped you aswell.

Kommentar von FalconFreak10

Take note - due to the way rewards are distributed, if you are a Feral or Guardian Druid, Windwalker or Brewmaster Monk, or a Rogue, you will receive NO LOOT. I discovered this the hard way when I realized it was weird that I received no reward for such a climactic quest. So word of advice to the Druids and Monks (sorry Rogues):

Right-click portrait > Change Loot Spec > Resto/Balance/Mistweaver.

Kommentar von 229013

i had a similar issue to others. i finished the quest and yrel said to meet at my garrison. got there and she was not there but the quest completion marker showed up on the mini-map. i went back to Embarri Village and she was there and i was able to finish the quest.

Kommentar von Thored

So just completed the quest, no dragon but big flashing garrison hearth button, used that. No place to hand in quest. Had to go to Embaari Village to had in another quest. There she was waiting for me.
No need to go killing yourself.

Kommentar von mill5034

Found Commander Vorka at 80, 46.

Kommentar von Eveena

I finally killed Arnokk by hugging the walls as I approached him and using my thrown weapon to kite him and then ran towards my defender buddies. He will only come half way and then run away, so you have to engage him. I used my Garrison Call to Arms and tried to stay out of his cone of fire. They took care of his goons. I did have to use one healing potion during the fight and had a battle flask on.

It was bugged for me and I couldn't do the next part at the harbor. Finally, I was able to engage the mobs starting from the top of the stairs and fighting my way down in the highlighted area. Vorok was there right between me and the water when I reached the bottom of the stairs. I used my Call to Arms again and got him the second time. No problems with the dragon ride home.

Kommentar von 1402196

Commander Vorka, How to Kill

I did this as a level 93 subtlety rogue, with only quest gear and no garrison assistance. (After dying several times.) So, all by my lonesome.

You start on the stairs facing the harbor. Between you and the harbor is a large rock. Vorka spawns in front of the rock. He seems to have three attacks.

1. He shoots fire. You can see his target as a circle on the ground. Stay away from the circle.
2. He calls down air support. Run around behind the rock (to the harbor side) until the skies stop raining fire.
3. He calls adds. Stay behind the rock (harbor side) so you don't have to fight both him and the adds.

Stay the heck away from the circle of his gun, and any fire on the ground, and any fire coming down from the sky. DO NOT try to tank him up close, not even from behind. (Though this may be possible if you have serious gear, which I don't have.)

The way I got him was:

1. Shadowstepped in behind him with Premeditate and ambushed, then hit with Kidney Shot on 5 combo points. I have the talent Internal Bleeding, so this dropped a DoT on him. Ran around behind the rock while he did this and that. (I can't remember if it stunned him, so I couldn't use Backstab, but I might be wrong.)
2. When it was clear, ran back in and hit him with Hemorrhage until I could get another full freight of combo points. This might require a doing a few hits, run behind the rock, then run back in.
3. When I had 5 combo points, hit him with Rupture. Another DoT. Ran out of range again.
4. Back in for more combo points and another Kidney Shot.
5. And so on until he died.

He doesn't appear to have any self-heals, so if you don't have DoTs, just run in, hit him a couple times, then run back behind the rock until he's done shooting fire and calling in air strikes. It might take a while, but if you stay behind the rock when he's doing damage, you should be okay.

Kommentar von jewels37

i completed this quest with no issues. however, i didn't realise till i hearthed back to my garrison and found a quest mark and no yrel, that i was supposed to take the dragon back. i looked for her and couldn't find her. if you go to Embarri Village she stands just northeast of the flight path. hope this helps!

Kommentar von alicat2441

I noticed several people with toons in cloth/leather are having major problems with this quest. I have a DK and had no problems, but my mage is getting slaughtered-dead at least 15 times. I submitted a suggestion to WOW and have asked for a fix, because it seems pretty stupid of the game developers to put a mage, priest, warlock, etc. in a melee fight and expect them to win against 10+ Iron Horde. I have told WOW that if this isn't fixed ASAP I will stop playing and Blizzard will not see another penny from me. I suggest all other having the same problem do the same.

Kommentar von 716334

Between the many known bugs and the ridiculous amount of mobs attacking you the second you rez, this has to be one of the worst quests in WoD if not the whole game. Yet another example of the rush to have the expansion released in time for Christmas and issues being given the "It'll be fine- we'll nerf it in the first patch and by then we'll have the money in our account" attitude we've come to expect. This should be posted as a group quest or have some assistance for classes/players that arent coming in with full raid gear from the previous expansion.

Kommentar von Wimbleton

Got lucky and my Feral had no trouble with the Burner. Couldn't exactly find the way to the harbor (signs were all in Draenei) but I eventually made it, found Yrel and Arak (or whatever his name was) but then nothing happened. Some guy was flying around on a jet-propelled pterodactyl, but I couldn't target him. I ran all over the area trying to find some way to trigger the next stage and finally had to hearth out for dinner.

So it's glitched as of today. But it looks like I missed an enormous reward of.....nothing? OK. I think I could live with that. Druids rule; others drool.

Kommentar von Throrsome

Impossible with shadow mage ...... had no trouble doing this and other boss's with warlock, feral druid, hunter and shadow priest! but my mage ilvl of 520 (pretty low) is having trouble with the last boss!

Kommentar von zaradann

Don't even bother unless you are level 100, this cannot be done until you have much better gear. At level 93 the adds swamp you. He will kill you and then every time you rez you will die by dozens of adds. This is certainly the worst quest in here so far. Even the garrison Call to Arms is no help at this low level.

Kommentar von aoeu

Every toon's fantasy is to have that massive aoe ability K'ara uses at the end. Epic.

Kommentar von Somnophore98

What a serious ..... quest is this: as a lvl 93 shadow priest I die all the time. This is not doable for a "starting" zone quest. Tired of running back all the time and waiting minutes to rez...

Kommentar von pat33

Major BUG for me

I'm used to xp several alts but I was in a hurry to kill this mini boss just after getting of of the fearie dragon and didnt get the quest , I said to myself go go go u can kill them all go... so the door opened I killed the last boss then Yrel wanted me to fly to my garison ..... wich I never do coz there is a treasure in the harbor , I got to the treasure then hs to lunarfall then to embaari ... but the quest giver was still at the temple ...

Had to run back to it then accept the quest defense at karabor.. all mobs where killed so I got to Yrel at the temple Faerie was frozen, force a relog from Windows then return to lunarfalll and then...to embarri.....

Why does this freekin door open if u don't have the quest prior?

Kommentar von rokinT

Just competed this with my 93 shadow priest. Had forgotten how miserable it was to do it (hunter did earlier). With Arnokk the Burner, you need to keep moving which is hard to do when you don't have many instant casts. So prepare to die a lot. You have to get rid of the NPCs along the way or they follow you. There are more NPCs that pop up and dying doesn't stop the aggro. Finally got the NPCs killed and then moved onto Commander Vorka. Again you need to keep moving and attacking.

Kommentar von Maizey

COMMANDER VORKA

I'm a level 92 Hunter with basic gear.
I had no bugs with regard to the fey dragon. HOWEVER, I did have something weird.

1. I died three times before defeating him and reading this thread.
2. I avoided standing in the flame arrow path (a v-shape).
3. I paid attention to when a red circle formed around me. I got the heck away/out of it.
4. I used the garrison command to weaken Vorka.
Here's where it got weird: My pet attacked Vorka and never died. On my last attempt, I was nearly dead and ran back to Yrel. I started regaining health and noticed Vorka was dying, and my pet's health was nearly 100%. I just stayed there with Yrel until my pet weakened Vorka enough to make a kill shot. Vorka died. The cinematic to get on the dragon started, and the quest ended.

I'm not super proud or feeling all-powerful. But it worked, and I'm glad. I did not have to suicide.

ARNOKK the BURNER

I died twice before reading this thread. Took the advice posted here to hug the wall, ignored the little guys who don't do so much damage, avoided the fire, used the garrison troops. No problem then.

Commander Vorka with all your gear RED

This is for those of you who have gear that has gone RED and you don't want to start all of this again to get to the last fight.

If your garrison is up use them to kill the mobs before Commander Vorka. It may take you a couple of goes due to Yrel (good lord, I hate her) bugging out. Delay your rez until your garrison can take them out. So, OK Yrel has disappeared and you've finally managed to take all the mobs out - time for Vorka... give him a little prod and run past him to the platform directly behind him (just behind the rectangle stone thing) he can't hit you with anything from there, hang about for 5 mins until you can send your garrison again, rinse and repeat until he is dead. Yes, this will take some time but if you are over having to abandon the quest to repair and kill Arnokk the Burner again (erk) this is your best bet.

Google some stuff and do some online shopping to pass the time, if you are out of his way you have time to wait for your garrison to do the heavy lifting.

Kommentar von Wimbleton

Tried this with my Combat Rogue and again didn't have much trouble with the Burner, mostly because I remembered the simple rule: Ignore the adds, kill the target, then Vanish. At about 5% health at level 92, so the comment about waiting to do this until level 100 makes sense. But then the battle with Vorka was a complete disaster. I couldn't drag him away from his spot and couldn't tell when the "satellite attack" would come, which one-shotted me (leather armor FTL) each time. I assumed the encounter was glitched, as it has been so many times before and assumed it would reset one of these times.

It didn't. There wasn't any way to finish it that I could figure out and I am pleased to report that I set a personal best record for armor repair: 184G. That was with leather armor.

If the encounter is working, it's kind of fun and kind of annoying at the same time, like it hadn't been well-thought-out. We are all so spoiled by the other brillaint stuff these designers do that we expect it all to be terrific. This one isn't. It's like trying to drive through Beirut during a streetfight; you might make it through but not without a few bumps, dents and maybe losing Aunt Tilly. If you have a lot of patience and a lot of gold, give it a shot.

If you're a time-constrained player, avoid this like the plague.

Kommentar von Eilonthay

Once you land and speak to Vindicator Akama, you're off to kill Arnokk der Brenner and then Kommandant Vorka in a three stage private scenario. But first, you must either dodge a few orc NPCs that literally jump into your path to him or spend a little quality time trampling them into the ground. Arnokk himself isn't so bad, so long as you stay out of his fire (and this coming from a boomkin, BM hunter, and an ele shaman).

Upon acceptance, Stage One starts:

Exarch Akama says: These are the last of our forces. We'll stay here to hold the temple gates.
Exarch Akama says: Champion, I need you to fight your way to the harbor.

If you talk to Akama right after accepting the quest, you'll get this:

When you fight Arnokk, he lets you know he's ready to turn you into a scorched marshmallow! Or maybe a burger with grill marks.

Arnokk the Burner yells: Prepare to be burned alive!
Arnokk the Burner yells: Taste the flames!
Arnokk the Burner yells: I'll burn the ground beneath your feet.
Arnokk the Burner yells: The Iron Horde...will...take you all...

Once he's dead, you're on to Stage Two, which means killing all the orcs between you and Yrel at the harbor. Because you "freed" the paladins and anchorites by killing those clusters of orcs, they will heal you before running off and vanishing. Meanwhile, Vorka will be yelling to his forces to bomb the temple, and bomb it they shall, which means avoiding the little fiery red circles as best you can that appear on the ground. They don't do much damage and if you have any kind of speed boost, you can run straight through before you actually get hit.

Karabor Paladin says: Thank you for your assistance, be healed and back to battle!
Commander Vorka yells: Iron Fleet! Darken the skies!
Karabor Paladin says: My thanks to you. Be healed and carry on!
Karabor Paladin says: Forward! We must stop Vorka!

Stage Three automatically starts once you reach Yrel.

Yrel says: Champion, the naaru has come to aid us. We must defend it while it gathers power!

If you speak to K'ara right after reaching Y'rel, the naaru will tell you this:

Defend me and I will break this siege, <Name>!

If you speak to Yrel right after you reach her, she will tell you this:

We will hold the Temple. I will not accept any other outcome.

K'ara has her own methods of helping you while she's charging up and will let you know when she's almost done. There is a bar that pops up that shows how far along she is. You get to battle a few waves of orcs and a couple of elites while you wait. There are two buffs she puts on you that help out a little, but they won't necessarily keep you from dying - K'aras Essenz and K'aras Gunst:

K'ara has blessed you with K'ara's Benevolence!
K'ara is nearing full power and gains K'ara's Defense!

Once K'ara is done, Vorka loses patience and jumps down to say hello. Your best bet is to kite him if you're able - he hits HARD. And the fire - the fire is bad.

Commander Vorka yells: ENOUGH. Play time is over. I will deal with you myself.
Yrel says: We've done it! Now to put an end to this assault...
Commander Vorka yells: Witness the TRUE power of the Iron Horde!
Commander Vorka yells: Soldiers - Come to my aid!

Upon Vorka's death:

Yrel says: We need to spread news of our victory. Take the fey dragon and meet me back at your garrison.

If you talk to Yrel after Vorka dies, she'll tell you this:

We've done it, <Name>! K'ara's energy has destroyed what's left of the Iron Horde Army.

We are safe.

It should be noted that the quest doesn't actually end at your garrison. In fact, if you take the fey dragon flight, you'll end up back in Embaari Village. Apparently this is some sort of leftover mess up from the beta and it still hasn't been fixed. Can't take the fey dragon because it's glitched out? No problem, really - just fly to Embaari Village and head toward the center of town. You'll know you're in the right spot when you see a lot of NPCs standing around cheering and clapping.

Yrel says: Hero, you fought fearlessly. For that, please accept my thanks.
Yrel says: The Light prevails because WE stand against the darkness.
Vindicator Maraad says: It is done. Victory is ours!

If for some reason you were queued up for a dungeon while you were doing this and it pops right before you tackle Vorka, you'll end up back at the start by Akama and have to start all over. This may or may not tick you off because if you're the appropriate level for the quest and don't necessarily have dungeon gear, this quest can take a surprisingly long time if things are dying slowly. YMMV

The next quest lead is mailed to you. Yrel sends you a note with a memory crystal that starts up Die letzte Botschaft des Propheten. After that's done, you can head over to The Draakorium to start the quests there, starting with GESUCHT: Maa'runs Huf and the neighboring Das Schimmermoor, if you haven't already done them. Die Geheimnisse von Gorgrond is listed as the next quest in the quest line (although you probably already picked up Willkommen in Gorgrond from your garrison by now, which makes it a little out of sequence, imo), but if you're not done with Shadowmoon Valley yet, it can wait...there's not much more to do before the zone is completely done.

Kommentar von FeralPaladinDPS

I had not many issues with this. I completed it as a Ret Pally, and just ran up, attacked and ran back until he died. After beating the final boss, Yrel told me to meet her at the Garrison, but the dragon took me to Embaari Village anyway. Only issue was a bug letting me run through the crystal on the dock. I couldn't see the circle on the ground and therefore died a few times bwithout realising.

Kommentar von 1433051

This quest seems super bugged. Ran through it first on my druid and only died once on the last boss.. I had NPC's healing me most of the way. Next time I did it ran through on my shadow priest. No NPC help at all, 10+ mobs coming at me at once and I can't even finish the stupid quest.

Kommentar von Talboth

This is probably the worst designed quest/scenario in WoD. I've played the horde side on multiple toons and you never encounter anything as frustrating as this quest. My mage I'm using is geared in basic quest gear as I did not level him in MoP and he gets absolutely slaughtered by the ridiculous mob of adds that swarm on the last boss. Even at rez... they just pour in like mad. I somehow suspect the NPCs are supposed to be doing something here... in fact, Yrel completely vanishes when the last boss spawns.

Kommentar von Fluffmeister

I'm a demonology warlock, level 92, and finally managed the very last stage by hitting the boss once or twice, keeping away from circles and fire, hiding behind the rock (behind the boss) and letting my pet do all the work. Once my pet got him down to about 1,000 health, I hit him and killed him (dont know if I needed to, but having died five times already in this quest, I didn't want to find I didn't get the credit!). I had to run around a bit to avoid the fire, but it worked.

Kommentar von Grizela

Worst quest ever!

This is the 4th toon I've done this on. Sure, I died a few times with each of the others (monk, hunter, mage) but this time I had to leave because I basically had no armor left. Cost my level 93 mistwalker over 100 gold to repair. She made it fine thru the flamethrower after only a couple of deaths*...then made it down to Yrel. Attacked by over 10 mobs and killed right away. Then she was attacked immediately on rez by (and I counted them) over 20 mobs. Aggro must be at least 100 feet. This happened five times. Maybe I will come back when I'm a bit longer in the tooth. Yes, I'm wearing questing gear...But this is a quest...and I was playing at level.

These complaints about this quest started during beta testing...only reason I can figure that it hasn't been fixed is there are some sadistic b*strds out there.

Sorry that I have no solutions here...just had to vent.

FOLLOWUP - Finally managed it by switching from Rushing Jade Wind to Invoke Yuen and also remembering (duh!) to use my Garrison Ability. It also helped that on this second time around the number of MOBS that attacked me were only about 10 at the most. And I was healed by Naaru's Benevolence a bit...that hadn't happened last time. I only died twice-and that was once I made it to the steps.

The Defense of Karabor http://youtu.be/12zZl8WAkNE

Fun fact: While on this quest, and as a healing class, you can heal the badly wounded Karabor Defenders lying on the mattresses. They then stand up and thank the healer/priest NPC. There are 6 right at the starting point and at least 16 more around the centre area, the previous quest's culmination point. Those at the starting point then run off somewhere, the other 16 just disappear after a few seconds.

I'm not sure if any of this makes any difference for the fights in the area though. It didn't seem like it to me, so probably not.

Kommentar von Ringthane

Hi, Yrel. I just wanted to let you know it's so nice of you just stand there while I'm being pummeled by every mob left in the zone. You're really doing excellent work, really top-notch. I hope to see you maintain such a high standard of excellence throughout the rest of the expansion.

(Sigh...)

Whoever created this scenario should be shot. Some parts of it are easy, while other parts are close to impossible. (It also depends on your class & spec.) How can you possibly win a fight when it's you against 50+ bad guys that suddenly run up on you?

This is one of the stupidist, most poorly designed quests I've ever done.

this is the worst quest ever. so frustrating.

i have been trying to beat this mission for 2 days now. i got the free 90 and have been trying to level it up and i have gotten to 92 now barely making it by the burner i was kinda scared but the elite? he has one shot me from full health atleast 15 times now and its starting to piss me off. im an elemental shaman anyone have any ideas?

Kommentar von 1486244

Why does everyone have such a huge problem with this? It's not that difficult. As long as you remember not to stand in the obvious danger zones, you'll be fine.
Every attack Arnokk throws at you is telegraphed and easily dodgeable as a result. His attacks deal friendly fire so to take care of the adds just position yourself so they get hit.
Just like with Arnokk, everything Vorka throws at you is dodgeable as well. Stay out of the red circles and the path of the air support and when he uses his grapeshot move a bit to the side. I've done these on a disc priest and a resto druid and I've never even used a healing spell. Sure it took a while, but it wasn't difficult in the slightest.

Kommentar von AnneTaylor

Died five times trying to kill Vorka with my warlock. Each time, just before he was dead I got squashed, and then he'd be back at full health. Then I realized that I was only being attacked when I attacked him directly or tried to funnel health to my Wrathguard. So I send the Wrathguard in to attack and just ran back and forth avoiding all attacks. Strange, but as long as I didn't get directly involved, the Wrathguard never lost health either, just whittled Vorka down while I ran around and made clucking noises. Not proud of it, but hey, whatever works.

This quest/scenario line was a PITA on my combat rogue (i don't remember it being awful on my hunter, but that was a while ago) THEN I remembered my Call to Arms. Cakewalk after that. Those guards made short work of Arnokk, and cooldown was up by the time I got to Vorka. We were given the tools, just have to use them :D

Kommentar von Gormadok

its not difficult at all. ofcourse some basics has to be known like avoiding massive aoe, crowd control etc etc. besides - you have your garrison skill "call to arms" which is very effective and helpful in critical situations.

94 gold in repairs later...

This questline is absolutely ridiculous. I struggled on my rogue, but nothing like I just did on my priest. NPCs are not helping like they should be on Alliance, and the adds are hitting way too hard. The bosses themsevles are fine and offer a good challenge, but when you die 9 times and get almost 100g in repairs afterwards is a bit ridiculous. And you have to do this to get to Gorgond. I died the most on the final stage, and after the first death Yrel disappeared and no longer was there to help. The only reason I was finally able to finish was because the boss just stopped spawning adds, or there were none left to come attack me from kills before dying. This seriously needs to be addressed, because I did not struggle like this on my horde for sure.

Kommentar von 1143396

I have completed this quest as a hunter, a mage, a warrior, a rogue, and a death knight. I just abandoned it as a paladin.

This is quite possibly the worst quest in WOW. It's so bad that Blizzard should refund the cost of WoD for this quest alone. Everything that is broken, bad, and buggy about WoD is present in this single instanced quest.

It's not a matter of mechanics. The mechanics are broken. My lvl 94 (!) rogue couldn't DPS fast enough to kill the first boss; I ended up getting him with a garrison attack, but I died right after he did.

The second boss was unattackable at least 50% of the time I ran this quest. Completely unattackable. As in, attacking him does no damage - but it aggros the entire rest of the instance as soon as you do it.

The NPC buffs you get are a joke for melee. The only class that I didn't die at least 3 times with was when I ran it as a hunter. And, in fact, this entire quest was largely a joke for Beast Master hunters; engage pet, auto-attack, repeat.

Kommentar von Pmos

I found a way to beat this guy with ease.
Behind the hill to your left when you face him, there are 2 npc that will help you if you lure the burner over to them, if you die all is fine, you wount have to start over.

cheers

Kommentar von starltdancer

level 93 night elf druid and I can't beat this no matter what I do. Call to arms just gets them fried. They didn't last two seconds. He's killing them almost immediately and it's a 5 minute cool down. I have had to reset my armor four times, died 10. I hit Arnokk with everything I have and try to avoid the fire. Then I tried alone got him down 1/4 and then tried Call to Arms and a band of Iron Horde showed up (about 10 of them) and we all died within 10 seconds. I just can't figure out how to do this without multiplayers and it's a single player quest! If I abandon I can't get to the next series. I tried healing the wounded at the south end and they didn't come to help. None of the Alliance force did. I even tried fighting the forces where Yrel thinking if I could free them up there they would follow me but every time we kill them all three more came rushing in. I literally fought at the south end for over an hour thinking they would stop coming. That didn't work either. Worst quest ever. I don't mind working hard on a quest but I can't win alone nor can I move forward. Someone suggested hiding behind a rock when the fire comes. That didn't work for me. He fried me around the rock. I also had to start over every time I died. He was full health upon return. So the below comment isn't true.
FIX THIS QUEST!

Avoid the flames and use your garrison ability on the mobs.

I don't know which quest is the all-time worst quest in WoW, this one or Stadt des Lichts

Easily started and finished with level 98 druid tank which got me to level 99 at quest turn in.

Kommentar von pablodee

Ok on my 93 Lock, with Shivarra demon. took me couple of deaths , but once i used my garrison help i had a few seconds to burn him down... stay out of the pattern on the floor before he casts and you take very little damage

Kommentar von debbyberry

Today's amusement: my boosted Discipline Priest could do this, no hay problema. My Arms Warrior (L93, IL 514) could not. Yes, of course it's the gear, but I've been finding this hilarious all evening. It's a first, anyway.

Kommentar von OrylieKT

As others have said, on Arnokk just pull him, pop your garrison ability and try to stay behind him and out of range if you are a ranged class. I died on my Holy priest first time. Second time I popped the garrison right away and got him down by staying behind him and at range. I had no difficulties on the final guy but again i moved quite a bit. use garrison again and it should be easier to complete.

Kommentar von watchout4snakes

In the confusion of battle, I found myself transported away from the action just as "Final Stage - Kill Commander Vorka!" was activated. Had a bit of trouble finding the final boss, but he is at 80.5, 46.6 (tu Wowpedia). You can stage on one of Vorka's flanks with pretty good isolation from mobs -- for example 80.3, 45.7.

Kommentar von zap24

i skipped wod during its initial release so i dont know if this scenario has been fixed and the newest patch broke, or blizz just hasnt bothered to fix it in 4+ years...

i killed arnokk on my third try, he is a hard but fair fight so i thought wow this is fun. worked my way to yrel and during the defense of the naaru i suddenly had like 10+ mobs on me, i managed to die only once cause the naaru seems to damage the orcs and heal you. but right after that, both yrel and the naaru stopped doing anything and i had all these mobs on me, ofc they insta killed me. so i rez and the moment i am alive, al these mobs from god knows where run to me again and i have this elite brute one shoting me with the assistance of 10 other orcs. died so many times i had all red gear, couldnt even summon the thundra mammoth cause i was in combat the second i rezed.

bubbled and hearthed to my garrison

screw this broken quest, this is not a git gud situation, its just plain impossible due to broken mechanics and i cant wait to cheese it at 110 just for the sake of it

Kommentar von cowchops

Couldn't move, so couldn't walk up to Yrel and turn in the quest. Tried hearthing, didn't work. Logging out and in worked, however. I used my hearth to garrison, so I don't know if you need to do that first.

Don't forget to go back to Embaari Village, as the question mark on the map will be mistakenly on the garrison.

Kommentar von jouissance

I honestly do not remember the last time anything in WoW made me this frustrated. Fury Warr, lvl 94, after a few tries I kill Arnokk, stunning the adds helped his fire kill them. I reach Yrel, and the thing with massive amounts of mobs gunning for me happens a few times. My gear goes red, I HS to my garrison, I come back into the scenario, and I have been put back to fight Arnokk AGAIN.
So, no thank you Blizz, I do not expect you to fix old stuff, but this is ridiculous.

Kommentar von andreios

I finally managed to get through this blasted thing, so I thought I would share my tricks. This is on a balance druid on 7.3.5 at level 97, and should apply well enough to any caster. (I do not know how well it would for melee as I have not tried it.)

The key is to make use of the friendly NPCs throughout the instance: if you can ensure that any orcs you are fighting are engaged with the Karabor defenders, their health will not regenerate when you die. This is the key to finishing this instance. Note that I said finish, not survive. I do not think there is a way to finish it without dying multiple times; I was in the red by the time I was done.

The first trash packs are not much of a problem if you are careful. CC the Void-touched Seers and pull the others from as far away as possible; this way you should be able to avoid the Grasping Tendrils ability.

The trick with Arnokk has been listed below, but I found it very helpful and will include it here for the sake of completeness. Before you approach him, take note of a large tree to the left. Around behind this tree are two defenders. Pull the boss from range, and kite him back around this tree; the defenders will engage, thereby saving your progress if/when you die. Otherwise his attacks are mostly avoidable. This is when you should first use your garrison ability.

From here there's a trash pack in front of the hallway; take them out and proceed down the hallway. You will then find yourself on a long, sweeping terrace above the harbor. Along this terrace are three trash packs, engaged by defenders; clear these out. Do not proceed down the steps! This is where the trick comes in; in my previous attempts, I cleared all the way down, and wound up with about half a dozen orcs from the swarm that would always insta-kill me and reset their health, rendering the scenario impossible to finish.

Once you have cleared out the terrace, you'll be at a broad staircase down to the harbor. Yrel and K'ara await at the bottom. On a landing about halfway down is a trash pack.You must not engage this trash pack! Instead, back up the terrace a little ways. You'll see that there's a series of garden terraces below you; jump down these towards the harbor level. (I would suggest staying as near to the wall of the building farthest away from the stairs, to you left.)

When you reach the bottom, head back around to K'ara. This will trigger the next phase of the instance, in which a swarm of orcs will attack K'ara, who will be "charging up" during this time period. This is where the trash pack we left behind comes into play! You will probably die to this swarm more than a few times; therefore, try to kite them slowly back up to the trash pack on the stairs. This way, they will "engage" with the defenders on the stairs, and will not reset when you die! It is imperative that you leave at least one of the stair orcs alive till the last; try to kill the swarm with its two elites about halfway between the landing and the bottom, where you should receive some mild assistance from Yrel and K'ara. It took me several deaths and returns; this will be faster if you just come back at the spirit healer at the top of the stairs. But eventually, you will whittle down the swarm and the trash pack, and have a clear go at Vorka!

For my run at least, Vorka was pretty simple. Attacking at max range meant I was out of range of most of his abilities, and for some reason he never left his spot to attack me. I just slowly whittled him down, and that was that. Having only done it the one time, I cannot say whether this is consistent or not, but at any rate that is how it worked for me. Again, I do not know how it will go on melee, but his main abilities seem to be pretty well telegraphed, so they should be avoidable.

Hope this is of help to anyone trying to finish this in 7.3.5!

Kommentar von geekygirlish

Leveling my first ally character to this lvl, I went into this blindly. Glad coming over here and seeing comments that others are finding it as difficult as I am finding it. I can't tackle multiple mobs and an elite, and altho the garrison ability helps, it is a 5 min cd. I stupidly thought the NPCs would help but they don't. With the new adjusted levels, I hope blizz is going to tweak this at some point. I suspect this was easier when you were a higher level wrt the zone. It's defeated me atm so I'm leaving it.
Just a comment that if you don't complete it, every time you go near the zone you are immediately ported into the scenario, which is really annoying! I have to keep hs or portaling out of it.

ETA: Ok, I finally completed this with my mage, but I was lvl 102 with Legion gear on. I still found it hard. I died a lot of times at greater gear repair costs :) I still think this was made to be one of the last q you did before you left the zone, I got the shadowmoon ach after I finally did it, and you would have been a higher level before the new adjusted zone levels. Anyway, a few strange things:
I flew into the area from the side and got portaled into the scenario, but I landed where Yrel is? I ran around looking for Arnokk but couldn't find him, even ran out of Karabor and into SMV! After running around killing mobs, I hs out and tried again coming in from the front. The NPCs still don't heal you,or maybe there are special ones that do? I could kite a few mobs into the NPCs and they sometimes helped me, but the dude healing all the wounded ignored me. I even stood in front of him on the person on the ground. No heals, and you are always in combat so no food and my healing potion was on CD.
Popped every CD, garrison and mirror image and managed to kill Arnokk. Found Yrel, and the next part was worse. The Na'aru did nothing and she buggered off. I died so many times with Vorka and as some have said every time I ress'd I was mobbed and died. Even tried hiding. Somehow he died, nothing to do with me and luckily I didn't have any of the issues of completing or turning in after that. I've done the horde equivalent side of this and it was nothing like this. I guess this is Blizz's apology to horde for giving all the trees for the lumbermill in the starting zone to the alliance? :)

Anyway, for ranged cloth wearers, this quest is pretty broken. Good luck!

Kommentar von Treaya

As a rogue this was very difficult for me, at lvl 96, the only way to kill ARNOKK the BURNER was to pull to the defenders without him resetting the good thing about this was the re enforcement's run to you and then reset because they are too far, every pack beyond that sees you in stealth and stops attacking the npc's so you will have to deal with them too all the way to the final platform.
this was also extremely annoying with all the mobs that come at you i died a few times while killing them off but the final boss guy is extremely easy after that.

Kommentar von hotcore

This was very frastrating and I wasted so much time trying to do this quest. It's simply not scaled correctly and very hard to complete. The first boss can kill you in a second if you don't follow the mechanics. Blizzard needs to fix this!

Kommentar von cattracks

SKIP SKIP SKIP! Leveling as a rogue so naturally I'm loaded with AC and never miss a dodge roll which is perfect if you enjoy getting one dazed by the mass of four guys that spawn RIGHT as he flame throwers you for 45% of your health every .5 seconds. If you're on any blood pressure medication... might wanna double dose for this quest.

Kommentar von Yotingo

So, this quest is OW...I don't remember having this much trouble on my hunter while this content was current (although I admit hunter is easy mode for most things solo-PvE), so I think the new leveling scaling probably has something to do with it.

Neverless, this is how I did it on my 97 Shadow Priest (geared mostly in quest greens):

The trick on Arnokk: HE WILL KILL HIS OWN ADDS if you lead them into the fire. The trick is not dying yourself while you're doing this. For Burn! I stand just behind his butt and usually the mobs will be standing up front of me, and hence in Arnokk's line of fire. Crunchy toasty orcs. For Fiery Blast I get behind Arnokk, then run out of range entirely so one of his mad turns in place won't burn me up (about 30 yards). For Scorching Earth, I make sure I'm not right ahead of Arnokk or behind Arnokk, and this is the best time to pop some healing spells or a bandage, as he is too busy making fire lines on the ground to attack you.

For the trash mobs in between bosses: kill all of them before moving on to the next group, because they don't seem to have a chain and will chase you throughout the instance. When I'm faced with a lot of them at once, I did the following:

DoT all the things with Shadow Word: Pain, then Vampiric Touch if I could.
Keep myself up with a combination of Shadow Mend, Power Word: Shield, Vampiric Embrace, Dispersion, Psychic Scream, Call to Arms (Garrison ability), and healing potions.
Die if necessary, then rinse and repeat. Luckily they don't seem to regenerate health in between deaths, so this was mostly chipping them down by keeping the DoTs up for as long as possible while staying alive myself for as long as possible.

Finally, the last boss is mostly just an exercise of stay out of the fire. Watch the ground for swirlies, as they have a tendency to blend in. Also make sure you're not standing right in front of a swirly, as the boss's Grapeshot ability comes with a knockback.

Don't forget to ride on the faerie dragon on your way out, then enjoy your just rewards for saving the draenei.

Kommentar von Dragonspirit996

I just finished this, so I thought I'd share my experiences. I'll start off with, I'm playing as a level 92 elemental shaman, and I didn't find the first boss too hard. But the part where you have to defend the stairs? Whoo boy was that tough. Eventually what I ended up doing was letting Yrel get all the enemies down to one health. She won't kill them, but if you lie dead on the floor and don't release spirit she will put them all down to practically noting so the can all be beat with one hit. After that all that was left was dealing with the boss, which didn't call any adds, so it wasn't that tough, the main thing to do was watch out for the circles on the floor.

Kommentar von Kynleath1066

Level 96 fury warrior. Here's what I did.

Before engaging Arnokk the Burner, make a trip to the hills over on the left. They're hard to see at first, but there are two Rangari scouts over there. Range pull him and get behind the scouts to use them as makeshift tanks. Do everything you can to get his adds to stand in front of the flamethrower. It may take a bit of fiddling to get them positioned correctly. Once you do, they die instantly. After this, pop your garrison ability and burn as hard as you can. (Pun intended.)

If you die (I died once), Arnokk will still in combat by the time you get back.

With the 7.3.5 scaling changes, this quest is a nightmare. Hopefully this helps.

Kommentar von Selerra

The difficulty of this NPC appears to have been resolved in the pre-patch for BfA (8.0.1). I attempted this today, after several fails in 7.3.5, and was able to get it first try.

Kommentar von TheSkullpitter

Still borked as all heck. The garrison rush does help with the bosses, at least until your zerglings vanish and you learn the true meaning of garrison rush, which is all the friends they met along the way, which are now your friends, and now you're dead. My poor squishy Frost DK actually got corpse-camped by the first boss and his cronies, which was easily the silliest thing I've seen in over a decade of playing. It's beatable, but it ain't fun.

Kommentar von TraumaCenter

Fun Fact- as a mage (or maybe another pet class?) my pet can attack Commander Vorka without pulling aggro. We know the alliance version of this quest is near-impossible to solo, so just have your pet to all the damage while you do push-ups or grab a cold one!

*K'ara's stupid essence thing that's supposed to give you 3% health/mana was not working at time of posting. I'm only in quest-level gear, frost mage.

Kommentar von Hakizu

You can't stealth past enemies as rogue.The whole thing is doable, but noticeably harder than regular questing content

Kommentar von Mathianas

If you're coming to this page trying to figure out why K'ara didn't spawn, let me save you half an hour of further frantic googling.

Go back to your garrison and do the quest Shadowmoon Invasion!. I tried all the normal troubleshooting steps, but only that fixed it. The last step in the scenario requires you to fly back to your garrison, and some part of the garrison phasing bugs out this scenario.

In other news, this is no longer difficult to do, at all. I'm not even 70 on the character I did it on and they all died in one hit, same as every other Draenor mob. ^_^
