New instances: Your favorite as well as your most dreaded

[Pie]

Since most of us are either 70 or near 70, I figured we all have had our fair share of instancing in new content. Which ones are you favorite, and last favorite?

I have really come to like shadow labyrinth and Steamvault. The fights are intricate and fun (especially the boss fights). So i would have to go with those two as my favorite. I haven't tried out Karazhan yet though, but it looks like lots of fun.

My least favorite, without a second of doubt in my mind, has to be mana-tombs. AoE mana burns for 2500, and a gargantuan 10-second counterspell? I'll pass.

I have only ventured into Ramparts, Pens, Underbogs and mana tombs. We couldnt down the last boss in the tombs but that was primarily because of our trash mob group we had thrown together.

I dinged 69 last night and their are only 2 68 and 1 67 in my guild so far. So I may be waiting for a bit to run anything else.

Shattered Halls is fun, provided you have the right group. I hate Slave Pens and Auchenai Crypts. Mana-tombs was easy, we were all 68+ when we first ran it lol.

Karazhan is a bitchhhhh to get attuned to, and it's even more of a bitch when you're inside. From what I've heard.

I personally hate all of CFR. It's almost as ugly and horribly designed as Mara.

 

[jd-inflames]

I'm still 61...so Ramparts and Furnace FTW

 

[Dream_Walker]

Ramparts is easy, but if you have a sucky group, the last boss is a bitch. Furnace is fun cause it isnt hard at all...
CFR isn't so bad.

IDK i dont have a fav/least fav.

I heard you just pick the quest up outside of the instance, run Steamvaults, get the pick-up drop in some pool not too far in and you're on your way. Unless it starts chaining like a bitch

KARAZHAN (10-man raid) (Deadwind Pass): Everyone in the group is required to have The Master's Key in order to enter Karazhan. The quest line for it starts right in front of the tower with a woman. She will give you two soloable quests which are done outside of the tower. You must then travel to Dalaran and speak with a mage on the northern side of the city. You will then receive a quest to get the First Key Fragment from a container near Murmur in the Shadow Labyrinth (level 70 Auchindoun wing). Once you complete that quest, you are then instructed to retrieve the Second Key Fragment from The Arcatraz (level 70Tempest Keep wing) and the Third Key Fragment from Steamvault (level 70 Colfang Reservoir wing). After you collect all three fragments you must complete the Opening the Dark Portal (Escape from Durnholde must be completed first in order to be able to enter the Opening the Dark Portal) inside the Caverns of Time to have Medivh complete the key.


It's not as bad as say Ony and such, but it's still a bitch.

I did the first few parts of this today in fact. You pick up 2 quest from the NPC out side of Karazhan. 1 is to take a gem to the pool and the well, both in the town right by the instance. The other is to collect 10 items from the ghost you kill along the way. Turn those in and you have to go to Dal to talk to another mage. He sends you back to Shat City to talk to someone then he give you a quest to go into Shadow Labyrinth (5 man) and retrieve the first peice of the key. I did the 2 single quest solo. its do'able but a real pain as the mobs respawn pretty quick. Here is the quest chain according to the wiki.

I thought it had something to do with being exalted...

Which one do you have to go back on the rep grind for?

 

[Renzokuken]

No rep required. Oh and on those underground water sources, i put my naked gear on and corpse jumped. That shit adds no matter how far away you are. Yes i'm lazy.

Mechanar is fun, but the last boss is a pain in the ass.
