--------------------[ IX. The Epic Hunter Quest ]-----------------------
========================================================================
I figured I’d add information about the epic Hunter quest so that
you’ll know what to do when the time comes. This section provides
details on how to start the quest and strategies on beating each one.
Although talent-only abilities such as Counterattack and Scatter Shot
are helpful, I’m aware that not every Hunter has them so I wrote these
strategies with that in mind.
------------------
Majordomo Executus
------------------
In Molten Core, after your raid group beats the second to last boss,
Majordomo Executus, a large chest spawns and one of two major items will
be in that chest: either the Eye of Divinity (for Priests) or the
Ancient Petrified Leaf (for Hunters). If you win the Leaf, it will give
you a quest that takes you to the center of Irontree Woods in Felwood,
where standing on a hill will cause three Ancient spirits to appear. One
will give you a quest where you must hunt down four demons, kill them,
and take their heads.
------
Onyxia
------
In addition to the four demons, you must also kill Onyxia for a chance
at receiving the Black Dragon Sinew, which is needed as part of the
quest series.
-----------------
Blue Dragon Sinew
-----------------
This is entirely optional. The elite blue dragonkin in the Mazthoril
region of Winterspring have a small chance to drop a Blue Dragon Sinew,
which will net you the Ancient Sinew Wrapped Lamina, an 18-slot quiver
with +15% ranged attack speed. If you manage to get a shot at killing
Azuregos, the outdoor raid boss, it has a 50% chance to drop the Sinew.
----------
Conditions
----------
Now here’s the catch: you must fight each of these four demons alone.
This means no pets or Battle Chickens or other helpers. If anyone else
touches that demon or heals you, it will cause the demon to despawn for
several hours. Each of the demons patrol around specific areas as a
humanoid but once you cause it to transform, you have 20 minutes to kill
it. No one may buff you during the fight but may do so beforehand. Also,
if your friends are going to provide auras, be sure to activate them
before the fight and do not leave the radius of the aura.
------------
Preparations
------------
Before you go on your demon hunt, make sure to pack your bags with
Major Healing Potions, Major Mana Potions, Demonslaying Elixirs, some
Magic Dust, and Shadow and Nature Protection Potions. You’ll also want
to bring a good weapon with you. Two good options are a pair of Bone
Slicing Hatchets or a Barbarous Blade.
Also, you’ll want to bring a Paladin or Priest with you if you get
killed. Chances are pretty good that you’re going to die a few times
before getting the strategies down. You may have them in your party and
they may buff you but just don’t let anyone heal you or touch the demon.
Having a Mage around for water would be nice too. For two of the demons,
you’ll also want to bring a second Hunter and a Warlock.
As a Hunter, you can expend a lot of mana in a short amount of time to
crank out some hard-hitting DPS but for these fights, you must learn to
conserve your mana. Be patient and don’t go all-out DPS unless you know
for sure that you have enough mana to finish the job.
When you do go searching for your demons, they’ll be walking around as
humanoids and won’t transform until you trigger it. You may use Track
Demons to locate them. Once they transform, they’ll immediately go after
you so Feign Death quickly if you’re not fully ready to start the fight.
Oh and just a warning to anyone who isn’t a Hunter: if you aggro the
demon while it’s standing around, you’ll be instantly killed.
Now, let’s go demon-hunting...
