For a fairly new channel, these guides are incredibly well put together and extremely informative. I'm genuinely impressed. You deserve far more subs, especially with how polished this is.
Really good and helpful guide. Especially the tips where to tank or where to stand (for example general angerforge). It is easy to follow, at least for me as the old memories slowly kicking in ;). I also liked the visualization of abilities and drops and the "cuts" to the respective NPC or locations. It would be also helpful in the beginning to include a short overview of the recommended route with a red line on the instance map or so :). Thx a lot for the great work
I used to solo this place for hours. I've loved dwarves since seeing the animated Hobbit movie as a very small kid, and I live the environment. Not to mention that not sharing loot and selling the Boe items, recipes, and schematics that drop from here made me an insane amount of gold.
Hi all, please let me know what you think of the new format, or if you liked the other better? I know there are a few inconsiistencies, but I plan to correct those going forward. Thank you :) Sorry guys, somehow my footage for the 3rd boss, Houndmaster Grebmar, magically disappeared. He's a super easy boss, just kill his hounds as he blood lusts. Here are the items he drops: vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?npc=9319
I am amazed that the vid is shorter than at least an hour! When I first went to BRD I spend at least twice as much hours trying to find my way in it. It is truely epic and unforgetable experience. Tnx for the video and the info, it truely brings some nice memories.

The rogue underworld, and the place to get your rewards from bar fighting. The entire dungeon is a gold mine for any solo, duo, or party with stealth users. Learn the routes and take payment as a scout for the players looking for a MC attunement. This is my all time favourite dungeon, and also the single dungeon with the best gear.
Well planned and executed video. - One part of the guide that will likely not work on Classic is your helpful marks on the map. If I remember correctly, there are no maps that pop up while in a dungeon/raid instance. Those were added later in WoW.
You can skip fighting the dragon if you have the molt from the Kalaran the Deceiver's questline in Searing Gorge. Taste of flame is simply a back-up if you accidentally got rid of it or thought it was junk at the time.
I can still see the whispers from my guildies back in the day "we need you to tank BRD for us" "escort run" "atunement run" and some nights i wake up covered in sweat because of "Emperor run" The Elyseum part with the torch guards omg... some people were bad there
You missed one boss, under the ring of law there is Houndmaster Grebmar. The entrance to him is along the same path as Lord Roccor. Also it wasn't Dagran Thaurissan that summoned Ragnaros, it was his ancestor. As that Thaurissan (along with the members of the Seven) were killed when Ragnaros was summoned.
Thanks for the lore info. I mentioned the missing Grebmar in a comment, but it's lost now :p not sure how it disappeared. Could have sworn i recorded the footage and its part of my script, but i realized it was gone after uploading
I'm digging the various dungeon guides you've got up, many WoW/WoW-classic content creators seem to have stagnated with regards to these sorts of walkthroughs.
@@rattlehead999 i have no idea i just read the tooltip from the screenshot, i'm by no means an expert in vanilla wow. That being said though, 6% would be a lot better even though it's still crazy low chance..
@@js11t well weapon drops in BFA, for example, aren't much higher in chance. Weapons and trinkets for that matter. No official percentages, but they are a lot lower than 10% for sure. The mythic+ chest has good weapon drop rates though. I have ilvl 370 trinkets on my ilvl395 dk and if the trinkets were ilvl 385-390 themselves I'd be ilvl 400+... I still have ilvl 370 one handers for frost, but for Blood I finally got a ilvl 405 two-hander.
@@rattlehead999 i see what you mean, but really you shouldn't compare classic/vanilla to bfa cause it's a totally different game imo. Just the fact alone that the game has shifted to more solo content/wqs it tells you how different they are. You didn't have the choice of mythic +/wqs/weekly chest back then. But i like both games, i wont not quit retail when Classic launches.
you can exp farm the Whats going on quest by abandoning it as soon as the gards come requires 2 mages 1 healer and 2 locks, have 1 mage flamestrike the group and the other nova as soon as FS hits then aoe, both locks hellfire till the mobs are dead pick up quest again and the gards will respawn keep doing it till 60.
iirc, you could easily spend 3 or 4 hours in this dungeon, and if you were rested when you started it you were pretty much guaranteed to level. Also, you don't have to kill Plugger Spazzring for the Goblin Jumper cables recipe, if you'd done the arena and he was yellow you could buy the plans from him.
hello, i loved your video, as a first timer who will step inside the dungeon it helped me a lot. is there a video where you talked about attunement quests? i want to get them done also
I'm working on those right now and they'll be released soon. I do talk about how to get attuned for certain dungeons in their appropriate videos as well.
I remember my tank having to warn me explicitly each time a quest, something needed to be looted etc...or I would simply miss it. SOOO entranced I was in drinking/healing everything got drummed out. Wouldn't read my quest log or forget just about anything. There was just the group and healzzz. (I was a damn good healer...but man I must have been such a pain to babysit my questing behaviour.) ...We had a very patient tank. lol
@@mfatal Hahaha, I think that might be a healer thing. I play tank 95% of the time, and almost always it's the healer that forgets to grab something. You guys have a hard job though, so I can't be mad.
You glossed over the room with the torchbearers - it was a nightmare as the respawn rate was almost instant so you had to keep moving and never went out of combat.
Very helpful vid, thank you. Was I understanding this correctly that there are multiple quests that require you to enter the dungeon, then leave it again, then come back to do the next phase? That seems very .........lame. But hey.....classic......
You’re good brother bear, keep up the great work. I haven’t played in years...bad break up with ex took much of the fun out of the game at frozen throne....but your vids make the nostalgia wash over me like a wave that I almost literally have to brush away with my hand....keep going bub. Look forward to more. 😁👍
Do them in the order I talk about them in the video. Pick everything up and run in there, you'll have to run the dungeon quite a few times. My guides can only get so specific while still fitting a certain time frame. I want to leave something for the player to discover themselves.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't know anything about being a healer. I've been playing this game for 15 years and have never maxed a caster. If you find it helpful I could always TRY and do some kind of noob series of me healing, but I can't promise good quality or to know what I'm talking about/doing.
Hey Thraex, would it be possible for you to do a guide for LBRS? I now have the ability to go through BRD without getting completely lost, but I still need to learn LBRS for when Classic launches. - Hopeful thanks in advance.
Also have you ever played vanilla wow tape can't make sure he has sufficient threat in vanilla wow a warrior for example if a DPS starts GPS on it boss before Warrior gets up 5 Sunday's he's pulling Negra it's that simple
So I'm not a newbie when it comes to wow but I've never run this instance ever, and I hear it's the best instance every conceived (all of blackrock). I'm currently lvl 56 almost 57, should I wait till I'm done questing everywhere in the world to do this place? Or should I start now. I feel like if I start now like I don't even know where to start with all the quests and content. How do I experience this place to the fullest.
Start now! Just pick up the first few quests in morgans vigil and head in. You'll end up going back quite a few times. Theres a lot happening in the dungeon - some things I didn't even mention in this video!
54 is actually a great level. You can get quite far. You might have a little bit of trouble on the final few bosses but with good healers and dps it should be no problem
I don't know how is it going to be in classic, but on Kronos, Thaurissan becomes immune to all magic damage, not just fire. Well, def immune to arcane and shadow.
@@Thraex "Magic Immunity" Also, you only need 2 runs to finish all Horde and neutral quests if you kill Pyron beforehand. The way you said it sounded like every other quest is behind a chain.
@@Thraex Yeah, I guess Angerforge should be a follow-up to kill on sight, didn't know that it's supposed to work like that. What about the princess though? You kill Pyron outside, then, on your first run, talk and defend the guy inside, and save the princess on your second one.
Until I see the bodies of my enemies float by I will hurt until they die, After this, I go home and sleep until tomorrow. Money means nothing when one has the faith to move mountains, but wait our father will not let me sleep lest I eat Pizza and Yogurat
3 hours is nothing. My guild leader told me he spent 5 hours there. Then days later I finally got to this instance, a priest told me he spent 7 hours there. I'm glad I only spent like 4 hours.
@@Thraex hah, so many of these retards trying to single out the one or two mistakes without them ever having produced a single shit themselves. Keep up the good work Thraex

THE BURNING STEEEEEPS
The rogue underworld, and the place to get your rewards from bar fighting. The entire dungeon is a gold mine for any solo, duo, or party with stealth users.

Hopefully someone has an addon by then, I figured theys still be a solid point of reference to use
You can skip fighting the dragon if you have the molt from the Kalaran the Deceiver's questline in Searing Gorge. Taste of flame is simply a back-up if you accidentally got rid of it or thought it was junk at the time.
Good to know, I could have sworn there was more to that quest line, but it's been so long that I completely forgot about that
i loved doing this dungeon as alliance in vanilla, the quests were great
I can still see the whispers from my guildies back in the day "we need you to tank BRD for us" "escort run" "atunement run" and some nights i wake up covered in sweat because of "Emperor run" The Elyseum part with the torch guards omg... some people were bad there
You missed one boss, under the ring of law there is Houndmaster Grebmar. The entrance to him is along the same path as Lord Roccor.

I know, right? Steppes is pronounced "steps", not "steeps".
I heard him say it and immediately went to the comments to make sure my reading comprehension wasn’t shit.
There’s always that one guy that uses all the unique pronunciations.
I googled the pronunciation and it is steeps as in steep mountain slope.
so much content in one dungeon omg
lovely content! just what I was looking for!
"You'll need to die anywhere on the mountain and find the ghost dwarf."
-me watching this while playing HC >_
Walkthrough my ass. It’s a Questthrough. I NEEDED THE ROUTE OF THE DUNGEON. I’m 10:42 in and not going further. Glad ya got your view.
Most of the quests weren't mentioned. What about the Arena? What about the escort quest, which ends in Stormwind? etc etc.
Ahhhhh... Another way distraction from the daily chores. :D
