Preliminary info on WoW’s Mount Hyjal
So Blizzard finally decided to let World of Warcraft (WoW) players walk into the dangerous grounds of Mount Hyjal. We even shared with you yesterday some of the early exploits and developments inside the zone. But today, we’ve got more information straight from the official WoW community site.
According to player Kaydeethree, players are sent to the middle of the Alliance Base after zoning in with no exit portal in sight. Also take note that zoning in will also yield the Scale of the Sands vendors as well as three sub-instance portals: Alliance, Night Elf and Horde. Players are sent to Alliance Base because the other portals are still closed.
Since the other locations are closed, the Alliance Base is naturally under attack. Kaydeethree mentioned that a lot of 70 elite NPCs located in the camp will help out but you have to make sure that Lady Jaina Proudmoore remains alive. If she dies, it’s over. Enemies come in waves, with 10 per each wave and at the start. The wave rate seems to be pegged at 1/12.
The player also noted that he wasn’t able to find the Onyxia-style raid instance near the tree much like in live Hyjal. Further down the mountain, an abom/ghoul/necromancer camp was found near the “invisiwall” but Kaydeethree wasn’t able to come closer because the enemies are hitting rather hard.
It seems like Mount Hyjal isn’t a letdown after all. A lot of things are going on in there and we can’t wait to see the zone for ourselves. As a last note, Kaydeethree provided these stats for Jewelcrafters and T6 Mage.
See the stats after the jump!
