Hey man, I went for scarab lord specifically because of this video. I was transfixed by the quest, and your videos inspired me to go for my dreams. I never thought id actually accomplish it, but in fact, i did! Thank you for all of the videos, you have no idea how much they mean to some of us.
Best,
Bagel - Fairbanks Alliance
Everything you do is so good. There's no one like you. You bring the feelz
ur mom does too
Nobbel?
As always, chill, informative and enjoyable.
And I like the quest log name
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost my password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Aron James instablaster =)
I remember doing the quest chain in wotlk with guildmates, we haven't finished it but had some fun, and when we were doing eranikus seeing lvl 10 druids doing their class quests and not understanding what was happening was funny to see
Lol yeah I imagine there were a lot of low level druids scratching their heads during that finale.
"yeah I'm going to get my bear fo... Oh my god why is there a giant dragon in the middle of the city trying to kill me?"
Ahhh, the mother of all vanilla WoW questlines.
I sadly never got a chance to partake in that epicness.
Definitely stick with Quest Log. Great name!
It’s so satisfying learning now, literally 10 years later, that randos like the shade in Sunken Temple had a deeper meaning. I didn’t know the lore but just wanted to believe there was a deeper story to this green dragon boss. And there was, just not for the scrub player like me.
This is going to be my favorite series of yours, I can already tell. I was one of those nerds who started playing purely for lore and these very epic quest chains you’ll be featuring. Thank you!
Finally a modern video describing my favorite legendary quest line
"... but you took him down, a lucky person got some head". i loled
I love Eranikus character, and I didn't really like how when using the gem you get on the dungeon he would cry out in pain.
Its nice to see he got relieved of his suffering .
Honestly I love your videos, I could spend the whole day just listening to your voice. Calm and soothing, it's almost like a trance. Good job!
Just here 2 remind myself why im not gonna be a scarab lord
The good thing about finding your channel this late is the amount of content you already have. I gotta say never change your intro, I watch your videos before and after the storm ( my job) which is always calming and interesting keep them up we sure love them.
I tapped out at the same point you did ... you know, work, kids, life.... all that. This video brings back a lot of great memories of back in the day with friends. Thanks for all your hard work on this one!
Was just lurking, watching olds vids. And you bless me with this beauty. The GOAT
As always, great video! As someone who hadn't played WoW during vanilla (no $$ for it) and only on a few tbc/wotlk private servers later on (still no $$) this is incredibly interesting!
Only joined retail when WoD started so there is still so much cool stuff to discover about WoW.
Keep up the brilliant work!
Part 2 within the week hopefully =]
MadSeasonShow thank you for this, also big thumbs up for Donkey Kong songs you use in your videos from time to time, nostalgia trips 10/10.
Where do you record your vanilla shots?
You mind doing the "Hand of A'dal" quest line?
Please keep it Quest Log
Quests Archive could also be a nice name for the section.
Sweet! A new video from MadSeasonShow! Keep up the hard work man! I love the style of your videos too! I always wait for them to come out! Super excited for the next episode of this one and your vanilla stories!
Glad you like them....thanks for watching Sion!
man can i just say that you're one of the most gentle, honest and sincere speaking people on youtube. ive never played WoW in my life but forreal i could just keep watching your videos forever man, godspeed and cant wait for more great content, please never change your mic or how you speak
The name is perfect for the series! Informative and familiar. Can't wait to see more!
I see you posted a video.
I’m a happy guy.
I click the video and the intro music enters my ears.
I click like and smile while lowering my shoulders in relief.
The next 16.5 minutes are of pure joy.
Your videos are amazing
My life long WoW mystery has finally been solved.
When I first started playing in Vanilla I have faint memories of some how getting to Moonglade and there was a huge raid going on there. Until now I wondered where was I? Was it Moonglade? had no idea.....
thank you for confirming I wasn't tripping LOL
I've never really been interested in wow but because of your videos, and because of you sharing your experience i want to try it out! Looking forward to your next videos keep up the great work!
I really like your content and demeanor when you speak on these vids, always nice calming music, thank you madseason, you really do make nice content, and with this vid you just gained another sub, thanks man.
i burst out laughing around 7:15 when you're talking about all the fragments you need and it just shows the frustration with the guy swinging all misses lol
We as a guild recently completed this questline on a private server and holy hell is it epic! Especially the Moonglade fight it's enormous and easily requires at least one raid to complete if not more. And this is over a decade after the release, I can't imagine how difficult it must have been back then. The uniqueness of it all just adds to the experience. You get the whole guild out to help one member complete the quest, just like with Thunderfury, only with this questline you have to do it a couple of times. The pure joy of the person when he finally bangs the gong is just epic to me, even though I probably will never get to do it myself.
More of this Blizzard!
Amazing stuff. Started playing in bc..I heard all the stories of the gate opening and was so so wanting to do it all. Truly an epic wow moment
Thank you for the content. Love the series that you have so keep it up.
Thanks for watching them my friend
Can't believe I've been watching you the past few weeks and haven't subscribed till now! This is awesome, keep it up mate!
Awesome video, looking forward to part 2!
Such a good episode/series - keep them coming!
I distinctly remember how awesome the war effort was, and how hectic, chaotic, and frustrating the actual post-gong event was. I don't remember who opened the gates on my server, but I remember trying over and over to get to Silithus, and when I finally did it was laggy beyond belief. I live in a small town and our DSL speeds really haven't improved since those days, but back then I also had to deal with being on a crappy Dell that could barely (and I mean barely) run the game. Needless to say, I lagged for a few hours, got nothing done, died a lot, and logged off. It was epic, though, and I hope so badly that Blizz brings the event back on Classic servers.
Being on that side, though, I never really saw any of the scepter quests happening. One of our warriors was working on it, but I don't know how far he got. I didn't know half of what was involved, and I can't wait for part 2!
i really appreciate that you've put all this effort into cataloging old WoW history. i didn't get into the game until pre-cata, and even then could only play casually (actually casually, not this "only spends 100 hours/week farming and raiding definition of 'casual'"), so it was really frustrating being locked out of so much lore because it was such a ridiculous time investment, or because i didn't play the game when only certain parts of the lore were available.
I remember this on my NE Druid, my 2nd char.; It used to take along time to level. I started at the beginning with a shaman, then switched to alli druid.
It was pretty epic. I remember the giant mobs + players slowing the frame rate to a slide show when the showed up.
Your videos are great. Your voice and pleasant, positive speech make the videos very relaxing and interesting. Thanks.
Silithids who dropped the fragments were elites in Vanilla (turned to normal mobs in BC i guess) and damages they dealt were pretty high (most of them doing melee AND ranged damages so even kitting wasn't an option to avoid damages and spare life regen time by bandaging and/or eating between fiights...) so getting 200 fragments fast needed a solid group....
I am sick and I got really really bored. Thank you for giving me something to watch!
If you don't know about jimmy tatro you're welcome. lifeaccordingtojimmy
One of the coolest rewards during this chain was the ring that allowed underwater breathing. Extremely useful back then! Especially for non-undead characters
I knew about there being a huge quest for the kiragi title and mount but I had no idea it would be this epic!!!!!! Incredible!!
Quest log is an appropriate name for this series I'd say. Cool idea with tons of potential.
3:24 seems like a prophetically pointed jab at Pagle, where, if you haven’t heard, the “world stage” guild had collected basically all the mats for the turn in...except they miscounted and only had enough copper for one side, lol! Pagle’s great, but oof this made our event so much better!
Great video as always! Always look forward to these :3
Amazing episode, cant wait for part 2!
This brings back some memories :-) My guild, Destiny, succeeded this questline for the Alliance. A lot of team effort, remember we got some help from two other guilds doing some of the outdoor bosses.
Finally, I've asked for this 2-3 months ago, awesome
Friggin’ great series and vid man
13:10 I cant remember that Sound from Classic WoW
Awesome video cant wait for Part 2!
Being as how Wotlk is your fav, I’d imagine a wrathgate vid in the future. Can’t wait. One of the most well designed chains in wow imo
I'm sooooooo glad I did that quest during wrath. truly the most epic quest chain ever made. ever. really.
Incredible! Thank you for sharing with us!
Good work MadSeasonShow - great content and a great breakdown
good to see your videos back
Really good series. Your editing skills are gretting super impressive.
14:31
That kind of thing is exactly why Vanilla was so amazing. Nobody knew what was going on and the world was massive and mysterious. That game wasn't as big as it was for nothing.
also, the dude spit on the dragon lmao
I always enjoy your videos especially the classic WoW ones.
LOL 6:08 best line ever!
Agreed!
Pure golden gold
Damn you beat it to it :)
a lucky person got some head..
wondered if anyone else caught that, lol
1:55 What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger.
Great video, have been a very casual player since release. Fun to see what I missed!
Awesome serie and awesome video!
Good as always
awesome series idea !
Haha! I remember on Darkspear, the Horde didn't care much for new raids so the Alliance had to plead with the Horde to contribute to the war effort
saw ur vids before. love this series idea.. subscribed!
I'm so exited for vanilla I cant stand the wait! YAY
I was lucky enough to do this before it was removed. Absolutely the best quest chain ever in the game. Still have Dirges Kickin Chimaerok Chops in my bank!
Something that people who have only experienced Vanilla on private servers is this event was (at least on my server, Tichondrius) was more of a race than a combined effort. Nowadays on the private servers people will wait to hit the gong so as many people as possible can end up with the reward, and there isn't as much interference as there was back then. The Twilight Corrupter was a main point of contention. He had the same mechanic as Lord Kazzak where he would heal and get stronger with every player he killed, so sabotage was huge. There were spies set up on both sides, and every time a group would attempt, people would bring in their low level alts to suicide into him making him bigger and stronger, thus causing the raid to wipe. The Horde were able to get him down in the dead of night when we weren't paying attention and then focused all their efforts on blocking us there, so we had to get creative. We brought in 6 full raid groups to just zerg him down, but we crashed the server. So we coordinated the order in which each raid would engage, having delegates hopping between vent channels to coordinate logging in and charging into battle. After a couple of rotations we finally were able to bring him down. One of the most amazing experiences I ever had in WoW.
Looking forward for more episodes of this series.
Interesting to see what the quest line was about,the first half anyways,keep up the good work.
Always excited to watch some Madseason.
Keep the Epic job man
i love your channel !!
your voice is very soothing, i like your videos are very enjoyable.
I was so sad when they removed this before Cata, when there was a short time you could do this chain and get the title and quest rewards minus the mount. I was 2 quests from finishing and my internet was out for 2 days and then they applied the pre patch that removed it. Still salty about this.
You are the best, man. I never leave a comment on UA-cam anymore, but I randomly thought of it now and I Just have to. I stopped playing wow for good in late 2013, but since I discovered you a few months ago I always watch your videos when you upload. Your videos are of such a high quality, and you obviously work a lot with each video. Don't stop, you make the best wow-videoes (I've seen way to much wow-content over the years, so my statement is factually backed), and I hope you blow up and become the biggest wow-youtuber ever, because you deserve it.
"a lucky person got some head". You are a madlad indeed and im here for it 😅🙏
I did this questline last year on WARMANE server Icecrown -- was really interesting and fun! Explains a lot of elite lvl 60 zones in Azeroth i had no idea why they existed.
A title suggestion for this series,
Azeroth Activities.
Because quests take you all over the world. And it gives you a little bit of a theme because you already have Azeroth Arsenal
I love the name of the series it fits
I miss this so badly.
the best questline i ever saw in a game. absolute masterpiece.
Love your videos!
Thanks for watching them!
I'm one of Blackrocks Scarab Lords, some interesting numbers for the carapaces for the turn ins were:
For human - 74 turn ins (14,800 total carapaces)
For any other race - 84 (16,800 total carapaces)
As a mage you could solo most of the elites in hive Regal which were the ones that had an additional chance to drop a carapace, but most other hive mobs in silithus only dropped one. Mages could also AoE farm Hive Zora but it was a little more difficult to do because of the terrain and a few ranged poison mobs... So... yeah it took quite a bit of farming but proxy raids made it a little more bearable.
Good video man, brought some fond memories back :)
BMEmestetic I remember being on Aerie Peak around July 2006, in Silithus when the gates opened.. I saw the gong-ringer and was amazed, it was a legendary guild you always heard about but being in the opposite faction hardly ever saw any members of. I was 56 or 57 so was mostly just tagging along helping with killing the elites that spawned... one of the most amazing times of the game for me.
I soloed most of the chain in WOTLK and finished with some help but can’t imagine having done it in vanilla. I had Only One May Rise in my quest log when TBC hit and had it there forever, since my BWL guild never killed the boss.
This Quest Chain is by far the best one in the game.
I never did it (started to play just before the 1.9 patch, and by the time I reached level 6, Burning Crusade was there).
The very best quest chain I've completed was the Hunter's epic weapons, with Rhok'Delar and Lok'Delar. You know, that thing you start in Molten Core by looting a leaf.
Sweet mercy, that is some insanity!
500 is rep per quest turn in
200 is the amount of fragments needed
1-2 fragments per mob
42 000 Rep needed to neutral
It's about 16 800 bugs killed to complete the quest. 500/200 = 2,5. 42 000/2,5 = 16 800. This calculation is based on you getting 1 Fragment per mob(aka the lowest amount) but this is just to show the absolute minimum kills required.
Don't know the kill time of the mobs but let's say it's 30 seconds (I might be comepletely off here but if its double time here it will be double time /played later).
30*16 800 = 504 000 Seconds.
504 00 Seconds is roughly 5.8 days.
You have to turn in the quest 84 times to unlock the next part(If u start from 0 rep at hated).
Now I havent factored in the time to eat, drink, get ganked or even travel between the locations to turn it in. But let's just say we could easily double the kill time with this in mind(or even tripple) 10Days + /played for this alone is insane(this being doing this as a solo class). Of course if you have guildies helping you kill the mobs and grind for you this drastically reduces the time, because everyone with the item gets a fragment. Still tho 16 800 mobs is still a FUCK ton of killing, and that's going to take a long time.
Just as another example. If you were 10 players farming for the items and trading them to you it would take 1/10 of the time. So having people to do it with/for you is key here to not go insane x)
I should go to bed
This quest is nothing. Try farming rep for Steamwheedle Cartel or some other. There is a reason why you can get the title "the insane" through that. :D
On the Light's Hope private server (former Elysium who have gotten their input from the guys that did Nostalrius) we in our guild (so many nolifers) had sometimes 3 groups of 5-10 ppl in different spots in Silithus to finish the kill quest as soon as possible for 1 guy in our guild. Took us 3 days. I've never spent as much time in so few days Silithus as during that time...
I was on Kronos gathering these for someone with a group of 3 and just talkin'. Silithus has a pretty good soundtrack and general aesthetic, so it was pretty relaxing.
Actually values were 200 rep per 200 scales turned in, i.e 1 rep per scale, the values were changed in TBC to be 500 rep per turn in.
The drop values we're also 1-3, instead of 1-2.
Also something worth noting, the title was also added in TBC and was not available in Vanilla
Source - I completed the chain on Light's hope
First you need 2get some head first, otherwise all this has no meaning.
the fun thing with vanilla,is that it had a massively different playerbase than it has now,and people there actually extremely enjoyed being "punished" by these super overly long questchains that made you travel the entire word and were hard as ballz,i personally would do the atiesh questline for my druid all over again,because it was fun in a frustrating way,no way we could have anything similar to this now,because of the radical shift in the playerbase
Cool, finally! Love AQ
Liked how you called Anachronos "Ana", reminds me of Anakin from the Star Wars prequels. Anachron even sounds like Anakin.
Great stuff. Requested this ages ago on Twitter :P
Yep I remembered! Glad you like it
Great vid!
these are the best love them 10/10
and now this video is very relevant.
This is wonderful....
i love this questline...
Maws....
Eranikus....
...isle of alcaz
...the satyr in Duskwood
Most people never got to see this...
We are upon this great event in classic guys
The game needs shit like this again.. callbacks to old dungeons that kept them kinda relevant (sunken temple) and mystery and lore everywhere
I'm proud to have finished this chain before it was removed, I remember having the hardest time trying to fight the corruptor in duskwood since he would keep resetting when I tried to do him solo in wrath.
New name: THE QUEST TO QUEST FOR THE BEST QUEST TO EVER BE A QUEST WHILE QUESTING IN VALLINA... QUEST!
Proud owner of the scepter! Was able to complete it before Cata hit.
Sidnote: "Copper bars! And many other crafting materials." the only thing not appearing in the screen: copper bars
I never got that far into cleansing the dragon of his nightmare
Yes..new video!!!
This quest was always a mystery to me.
3waybar me too.. doing it in WOTLK was a real eye opener, and there’s so many interesting reward items along the way
Some very stronk and situational +resist items that would fill my bags :) I collected + resist items in Vanilla, you could laugh in the face of danger but I never had time to finish this line, I was awarded the head at the end but yeah then TBC came and fucked everything
