Figured this would be a handy series to continue, especially since the game is actually out now. I've even found a few new ones myself in my leveling - quests I didn't know existed for 15 years....pretty cool! Catch me live on www.twitch.tv/madseasonshow
MadSeasonShow I’m curious, which ones did you find during your leveling? Love you videos by the way. It has gotten me so immersed into classic. I love it! Edit: Grammar
I love your videos! They make me feel the game not just playing it! I also love the ff7 music that you are using in your videos and i would like to ask you if there is any chance that you are going to make same videos for ff7 ;; it would be awesome and as i can tell from the music you have to be a fan off ff7! I suggest to go for it! 😇
Don't want to be that guy but, here it goes, they aren't exactly secret are they? They aren''t hidden, they just don't have a massive yellow exclamation mark above them
The quest for the flame breath trinket was something I didn't know. I'm 45 on my warrior with no trinkets, so I'm planning on doing that chain tomorrow because of this video. Thank you, sir.
one is just learned yesterday is in Mulgore in the Brambleblade Ravine. If you go to the right at the very end there is a small cave with a scroll on the ground that starts a quest called "Attack on Camp Narache" where you will get your first shield. not a big one but i loved finding it because for me these little things are just what makes classic great. love your videos
Getting rewarded for exploration by secret unique content is one of the best feelings ever, especially back then when there was hardly a way to share and track all this information.
The 14 slot bag from Cortello's riddle is a must have for saving money on bags early on. I've also found 2 other 14 slotters from the 30-40 trolls in STV. I did those boats a dozen times in Vanilla and had no clue about the secret quest either, it's just that hard to spot in a random place, I think if I was looking for charts like the previous quest on the boats I may have found it, but no reason to be down in the bottom of the ships when the captains for the kill quest are all in the middle deck.
Thanks! I remember doing Loremaster in Wrath and, after doing all the quests from the hubs, trying to find the secret ones too! A few of these I already knew, but please, do more of these! It's a lot of fun seeing what quests I missed during those times.
I just watched episode 1 this morning. What a surprise to see episode 2. P.S never played WOW, ESO man myself but I love the insight into the world I missed
First time WoW player here. Started as a Gnome Warlock and found the hidden Icebeard quest a few hours before watching this video! Nifty. Icebeard KO'd the crap out of me, so I just pressed x and waited for someone to stroll by, and finally someone showed up willing to party with me.
I always look forward to your videos! I managed to find the three clues at the burnt down inn in Dustwallow, but I missed the other quests! That fire breathing trinket looks epic!
Alliance have more quests than horde, also they have way more alliance only rares than horde does, every area is set up more for alliance to make it easier also.
The burnt down inn, at least on the horde side, led all the way to the smith that made the shield. A Tauren in Thunder Bluff called Mosarn, quest is "The Black Shield". The line seems to end there though. If anyone knows more please share.
IIRC you open up a couple extra quests in Dustwallow that you can only do after you complete those quests. There's one guy connected to the burnt down inn that you have to escort for a bit who gets assassinated by someone at the end of it, and I think being able to do his quest requires completing all of the stuff at the burnt inn. But yeah, definitely for the Horde you can at least finish the black shield part.
Alliance OutRunner in The Barrens drop a quest that can be paired with "The Den" Quest in stonetalon mountains. There is also three named animals in The Barrens that drop scrolls that can be turn in for some fat xp
These are 4 elite mobs that look like alliance players on mounts and will heal/CC you like a group encounter, level 21-25. They mainly wrecked anyone autorunning through the southern barens or those clueless enough to get close, people never grouped up to kill them. But if you did you got rewarded with the quest item, very rewarding and cool.
This is a great series, Mad. I am not too familiar with all the hidden quests, so something like this is really helpful for those like me who really enjoy exploring the world...of Warcraft.
Have you ever talked about the graveyard next to Moonbrook in Westfall? In the daytime the graveyard has buzzards mobs and not much else going in. Come back during the night and the graveyard is filled with ghouls. In classic i would farm these ghouls as they had good loot tables.
Never knew about that one! The game does change a bit with day/night cycles though which was a big deal back then. In silverpine there's a werewolf camp where they're humans by day, and worgen by night. You also have the nightfin/sunscale from fishing....pretty neat!
Cortello's Riddle was always one of my favorite obscure ones since the travel was about the only big part. And I think it's kinda funny that the Holy Spring Water for that Westfall quest is something you'll likely stumble upon naturally when you level up a Horde character in STV. I think it's either the Yenniku quest chain or something else in the southern part of the zone that has you killing some of the mobs around the spring. I think my overall favorite random quest chain (wouldn't call it obscure, but it does feel random) is the 3 different quests to escort a robot chicken in some level 40-50 zones. I think that was in another fun Madseason video on classic stuff. BTW I totally remember Thottbot being around for the actual beta of WOW (I say actual beta because they invited some people when it was still listed as alpha, like a month before they went into beta status) though it was also kinda in beta compared to Thottbot when the game finally released.
People forget so easily what the internet and comments were like back then. Despite there being only Thottbot and Alakazham, there was a TON of inaccurate information, trolls and pretty much nobody moderated it and no upvote system so you had to read through all the comments and take many with a grain of salt and work out what looked legit, also most of the good players did not share information since why would they? Keeping it private kept that knowledge valuable and kept the best farming spots and exploits to themselves and their guild, people just shared much less back then and most of us were kids or angry teenagers and the internet was just a private place for nerds to joke and play games, now everyone wants their 5 seconds of fame and you got streamers and youtubers making millions from being the first to share knowledge with an entire world connected to the internet with an insatiable appetite for information, completely different world we live in today.
You found the quest as well doing Akris Reeds from the Booty Bay quest hub. All the items were actually connected to level-appropriate zones meant to be found while levelling. The sacks of corn, oat, and rye, are bit silly in their riddle but you'd naturally find them just by having the quest on you while levelling. Honestly the biggest stopper were that people didn't go to westfall in the first place to pick up the quest.
It was fate, fate i tell you! Today I found and got the quest Cortello’s Riddle, I was wondering about what was needed and saw you posted this vid, played it in the background listening and was like “hey that’s sounds like what I got, wait....IT IS! :D “ So thank you thank you for this super awesome video! You’re timing is perfect!
I'd love to see one of the "friendly" players of classic message Madseason in a group saying "Did you even play vanilla, noooob?" Well good sir, little did you know, Madseason is classic GOD. Great video man! Keep it up :D
I was the only one that found that riddle quest in my group, everyone else was just speeding through. I don't know why but at that point I realized something and I stopped speed running the game and started to enjoy the world.
Holy balls. I randomly found that chest in the Hinterlands and figured it for a quest I hadn't yet picked up - which I guess is correct, but way more complicated than I had figured.
That grain quest is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in any game before. I did it (with wowhead of course), and I feel like that was the most absurd treasure hunt they could have thought up...
The video is 12:30 long, which is 45 minutes in Asmon-time. The average human loses around 25 individual hairs in 1 hour. At this rate, he will have around 10-12 TH-cam videos left until he is completely bald.
@@godlygamer911 I can see why you're angry about someone having any amount of success. Maybe, just maybe, one of your videos will garner a positive ratio one of these days. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
the shady inn actually starts in... menethil harbour, I think. you basically get the name of the place and some vague directions to the place when you reach theramore.
It’s super unfortunate how the addon “Questie” makes all these cool secretive quests like “naw it’s right here fam. I got you lol” I guess I can see why some people choose to have it but I still kinda refuse to get it since I would rather have that more RPG feel and look for quests and talk to all the NPC but that’s just me
Almost everything that made vanilla so good is gone from retail wow, it's just a ghost of it's former self, everything part of the linear questing-grinding-raiding path that every single character and player must take, there is very little unique content anymore. Sure the combat is more interactive, but even that is infinitely more risk free and as a result - boring.
there is another quest that requires you to go and get that holy water from the naga camp in Stranglethorn Vale. the quest giver is an Orc Warlock in the gromgol camp.
Ahhh these kids......vanilla wow was a real game, quest took days as you had to actually FIND the items or NPC. Its what made in the wild player reaction so common and awesome.
I was pretty much a quest maniac back then. Having all characters at max level and doing all quests I could find. Have to say, I don't think I know about the one behind moonbrook, the one in the cave and gnomergan.
I have a question as to if anyone might know, has Blizzard ever hidden any items or quests in clickable items you can sit on, such as benches or chairs? Something so well overlooked in the game that there might be that one chair in the game that is used by npcs as drop spots such as you see in movies. Click the right chair ingame and stumble across a sealed envelope of a plot against the king or chief you must give to SI-7. I know there are quests like this, but how about anything implemented in this manor?

I just watched episode 1 this morning. What a surprise to see episode 2.

I like how horde questchain gives you super blue ring, than alliance quest just ends.. horde privilege
Alliance have more quests than horde, also they have way more alliance only rares than horde does, every area is set up more for alliance to make it easier also.
Don't forget Thrall's Resolve. My bear is pissed.
The burnt down inn, at least on the horde side, led all the way to the smith that made the shield.

Thanks alot for the 14slot bag and the good XP I got on the journey. Helped a lot.
That song at 9:00 was form an ice place on FFVII, yeah Dustswallow marsh wasn't complete until TBC also by adding a goblin town south.
Thank you. I actually found the scroll under the bridge earlier today and was so confused why I couldn't pick it up. Now I know there's a precursor.
The background music, FFVII, gotta love you for that one :)

Watching a WoW related video while listening to FFVII background music in it is treasure!!
Absolutely loving the Classic videos, even when they aren't relevant to my play through its great to see what else is out there 😊
gnomer had a lot of hidden things in it like the hidden 2nd entrance or the 2 engineer pets that dropped on an absurdly low rate from mechanical mobs
Is it truly og WoW without some absurdly low drop rate?

Really interesting. Shame they skipped the concept of hidden quests in the retail version.

Something so well overlooked in the game that there might be that one chair in the game that is used by npcs as drop spots such as you see in movies.
