World of Warcraft

Desolace on the western tip of Kalimdor is a devasted place. Beasts around here are level 30+ to 40 and fairly easy to beat if they do not attack in large numbers.

After flying to Stonetalon from Orgrimmar I took my dino southwest, through The Charred Vale, into Desolace. Last time I was here I was about to capture souls on the Ghost-o-plasm quest. I came back here only to discover I left the much needed quest box item in the bank..

So instead of just standing there I took the dino west and discovered Ethel Rethor where a fellow soldier was giving out low level quests. I continued along the shoreline to the south and ended up in a dead end. Back up north, east and south again with the mountains on my right I fought some kolkar riders in Valley of Spears.

In that valley I soon realised that level 38 kolkars does not attack level 47 players. So I took routes around the kolkars and ended up in front of a stone door. Once inside Maraudon I fought some level 40+ kolkars and “elite” warriors. Even further into the dungeon I came across some serious elite beasts. The first one was easy to blink away from in order to get to a portal (yes, a portal inside a dungeon).

The portal took me to Earth Song Falls (Inner Maraudon) and some nice looking waterfalls. Unfortunately the Inner Maraudon area was populated with Elite level 47 beasts and my attempt to kill one of them resulted in death, resurrection and 10 minutes of logging prior to riding over to Shadowprey Village where I discovered yet another flight path (find the flight master down by the water on the pier).
