As you can probably now tell, we really love this Dungeon. The quests, the lore, the architecture, the ambiance, all come together to make Classic SFK one of a kind. How do you feel about Classic SFK?
SFK was the very first dungeon I did in 2005. I was a troll mage back then and I remember those 2 people from my guild who talked me into this for like 15 minutes because of that sweet decurse ability. 45 minutes later they managed to guide me to the entrance portal just to find out another 20 minutes later that I didn't buy the decurse skill. Ah, the good ol' days.
Sounds a lot like my first dungeon (Deadmines), also as a mage. They brought me along for the additional CC. I didn't even know what the hell CC was, but I was too afraid to ask, thinking they'd kick me out for being too big a noob. So, we go in and they start marking mobs and the group leader is like: 'Alright, mage, you CC the dude marked with circle.' I thought CC just meant 'keep the mob busy by attracting its attention so the tank doesn't get overrun.' Got pwned real fast ofcourse but they were real chill about it and explained what they wanted me to do. When you think about stuff like that, you're going: 'Damn, I was such a fucking NOOB back then.' But you still think fondly of those days. Some of my sweetest memories are from Vanilla and TBC.
As an Alliance player, SFK is not a usual haunt. Yes, some take the trek, but this dungeon is usually missed by the Alliance half. I do remember my first time running it though. A real-life friend of mine playing a gnome mage sent me a whisper saying he needed my help. I agreed and set out. I didnt even know where this place was. I just knew Alliance was not welcome there. And the NPCs and players alike let us know. Once in, i was very impressed with the Castlevania-esque feel of the place. Wiped a few times, but we got to the end and slew Arugal. And incase you were wondering... my mage friend got his robes.
Ah the Robes of Arugal! My first character, a shadow priest, wore those for quite some time. This was favorite lower level dungeon. Scholomance and Stratholme were the others in my top three. Scarlet Monastery was much beloved as well! It's a shame that they were all ruined!
There were several reasons to adore SFK farming: 1. The dungeon had a ton of bosses. This meant that you could gear up in a hurry by running through this dungeon and the consistancy with which they dropped some of the gear made it super reliable; that first boss dropped a set of leather shoulders that gave out a +8 to agility and could be equipped by folks who were level 18 and as such just about everyone grabbed them since that was a solid bonus for anyone. 2. Plentiful greens. Maybe it was the plethora of adds or just something about the dungeon, but this place seemed to drop a lot of greens. Now granted, randomly generated loot is sketchy, but it also means you could snag some odds and ends to help gear up, sell them on AH or DE them if you were an enchanter. 3. Skinners paradise. Prior to Cataclysm, worgen were skinnable and that meant that half the adds in the dungeon would provide light, medium and occasionally even heavy leather; I was able to grind my ass to 200 skinning just by farming this place ad nauseum, and I have fond memories of my paladin farming this place in my late twenties for stacks of leather to sell on AH. 4. To the point. Unlike some of the other dungeons in classic, SFK was pretty much one straight line (so people never got lost like in wailing caverns) and could be completed by a semi competent group in about an hour which meant that people could do it 3 or 4 times in an afternoon and that meant that you built frendships and trusts. 5. Forgiving. Also, since the dungeon wasn't really high level a fury warrior could pull on a shield or a shadow priest could try and heal; it wasn't ideal but it was feasible to do if you were careful.
SFK was a Dungeon masterpiece! it was the first lvl 20+ dungeon i went to back in vanilla, you needed to think and play as a grp about CC's and patroling npcs if not it was a wipe that is what made this the perfect dungeon in my opinion. i miss the commucation we needed back then to get through the dungeon not like today we just qq up get summoned in then everyone just does random shit until the dungeon is over then they leave in a heartbeat...
I remember loving this instance so much, every boss and lots of great loot. I was a mage back then and felt really proud i was able to cure curses and keep it going smoothly.
The thing I remember most about this dungeon is that it had a very low chance of dropping a BoE dagger that was highly desired by twink rogues who would pay ridiculous amounts of gold for one. A friend of mine actually got lucky enough to see the dagger drop on one of his runs AND he managed to get the winning roll on it. His party flew into a rage and argued and bitched and moaned, but he just ditched them and ended up hustling back to SW to sell it. Didn't take him long, because he managed to sell it that very same day for 300 gold (that was A LOT of gold, back then). For us low level noobs, 300 gold was an almost unfathomable amount of cash and it felt like you just watched someone win the lottery. And that's where his luck ended, because shortly after that he could no longer afford the subscription fees and I didn't see him online again until well into TBC, when his 300 gold fortune was ... less impressive...
I remember SFK fondly because it really helped me understand my CC potential as a mage. All because of that hay filled room with ghost wolves and worgen. Anybody who did SFK in vanilla probably know what I'm talking about. However, that actually wasn't my first experience with SFK. The first time I went in...makes me cringe and grin all at the same time. The first time I did SFK we had an asshole in the group that was as selfish as you can imagine. He was an undead rogue named Lickmyballz. I'm not even joking about that. He was also our party leader. He gave us all shit the whole time, even before we got into the instance. He taunted the healer, he taunted me, calling me a noob for picking the vending machine for a class and telling me my gear was shit even though his was no better. I ignored him. We also had a tauren warrior who was our tank, the others I don't remember. When I first entered, I was definitely in awe of the place. I remember the eerie music and how when the music was silent all I could hear was the wind and a wolf howling in the distance. I would have remembered it more fondly if it wasn't for Lickmyballz barking orders at us. I remember him telling me to not decurse people because it's extra XP or something. Anyway, there used to be a spot in SFK where you can actually fall off and get ported outside the instance(don't know if it's still possible now). Our tank had a lag spike and accidentally walked off, got ported out of the instance and fell down the cliffs. I was already running back to the entrance to use the summoning stone even before our tank apologetically requested a summon. Lickmyballz told him "No nooblet fuck ass you fell you get to walk back" which was completely ridiculous because the only way our tank could get back was to hearth to org, take the zep to UC then the FP to sepulcher and run all the way south to the instance. I said "No, c'mon one of you, just help me summon, it's no big deal." the other two agreed and one of them was already on his way to help me. Our tank just said "Yes please, thank you." Lickmyballz got furious at us, saying, "NO, HE'S A FUCKING NOOB IN THE FIRST PLACE HE WALKS OR I KICK HIM." We tried to reason with him, I even defended the tank by saying "No, it wasn't his fault, he lagged and accidentally walked off. It happens. Just let us summon him, it's much faster." Lickmyballz wouldn't listen to reason. "IM THE LEADER OF THIS GROUP. NONE OF YOU WOULD BE HERE WITHOUT ME. YOU DO AS I SAY WHEN I SAY YOU SCRUBS. AND ANYBODY WHO TRIES TO HELP HIM WILL GET KICKED TOO!" We were already a decent way through the dungeon so none of us wanted to get kicked. All of us apologized to our tank and he told us it was okay and that he was already on his way back. We were whispering each other, trying to find a way to get back at Lickmyballz. Karma beat us to it though. While the others and I were toying with the idea of ninja looting something from him, he was in the background, jumping around. Just as our tank made it to the entrance of the instance, guess who gets a lag spike and jumps clear off the edge. In all my years of playing video games, there are very few things that have ever compared the satisfaction if seeing that jackass eat his own words. All three of us that were standing there just typed LOL and HAHA in chat so much that our tank was confused. Lickmyballz kept demanding that we summon him but we just kept laughing. I don't know about the other two but I hardly had any air in my lungs to breath let alone the self control to calm down enough to type. When we finally told the tank what happened, the tank said "Well, guess you gotta walk back. Ha ha." To say Lickmyballz was pissed is an understatement. He kept demanding us to summon him. I said "Our tank is back, we don't need you." so we went on to clearing the next room all with Lickmyballz barking orders at us. He eventually left the group and we all /cheered. Just then, my warlock friend who was the same level as me came online and I told him we were doing SFK and asked him to join. He did, we summoned him and I was finally able to enjoy SFK for what it was. My favorite part was my lock buddy and I were the pinnacle of teamwork when it came time to CC that first pull in the hay filled room with the ghost wolves and worgen, you know the one. He had his voidwalker off tank a mob, I sheeped another mob, then I slowed another while he dotted it up. It was just awesomeness in spades that day.
I also loved SFK for that classic dungeon crawl feel in a castle. It also reminded me a little of Karnor's Castle in EQ. Another favorite of mine was Dire Maul tribute runs. You needed to be clever to get the most possible loot at the end. Plus Ogres. Always loved ogres.
I didn't start until Burning Crusade, but SFK was my favorite old-school dungeon. Especially since several classes had class quests to gather materials and items from the Keep to get some class goodies.
The best thing IMO about classic dungeons is the length. Each felt like a deep delve into a hostile area full of mystery (at least the first time in each). Classic BRD is still my favorite dungeon ever.
On my main, back in the day I had a fun story. A 2h axe with a shadow bolt proc dropped, and the party let me have it. We got to Arugal and guess who got mind controlled. I killed the party, but since I was on his side he let me live. Then I rezzed the party after he de-aggroed and the mind control wore off and we killed him. :)
These dungeons were created by Blizzard back when they CARED about the game and WERE GAMERS themseves. These days everything is done by devs that are NOT gamers and have crazy deadlines all in favor of making the most $ as possible. I honestly dont even remember any dungeons from WOD/Legion... while i could navigate most vanilla dungeons blind folded and know where all the bosses are
This is why I unsubbed and went to private servers (I'm a cata baby.) Grinding these dungeons leveling planted the seed, and seeing MC for the first time sold me. No regrets :3
I'm sorry but i have to disagree. Dungeons in WoW have ALWAYS been top notch. WoD had some SUPERB dungeons. Regardless how damn short that expansion was, it left us with some of the best dungeons in years! Auchindon, Iron Docks, Skyreach, ShadowMoon Burial Grounds and of course Grim Rail Depot! Best fucking dungeon ever! (i love trains). Legion had a share of annoying dungeons but let me tell you something, as a BIG WOW LORE NERD i had been waiting for Black Rook Hold for years! the ravencrest legacy? fucking yeah! And Maw of Souls... a ghost ship? cmon! And court of starts? one of the best rpg dungeons in decades! with so many interesting and unique features and mechanics! i mean cmon! theres a mini game of "guess who" just to get to the last boss! I loved every inch of that place. Oh and Karazhan? Man, did you run that place???? I hate revamps. I hate what they did to SM and Scholo... But Kara was NOT a revamp... we HAVE old kara.. AND the new one compliments it SO well! I want more like that. New dungeons that respects the original, as in we can run the original but also have the new one, and the new one is a worth continuation of the original lore? And BfA is following the trend of memorable dungeons. Waycrest Manor is the haunted house dungeon we always wanted. In many respects remind me of SFK. The story is gold. Is the culmination of everything in Durstvar, till the revelation the one behind everything is the very lady Waycrest, the mother of the person we been helping tru the whole zone! And the reazon she did everything was cuz she was desperate to keep her husband alive! Then we have Atal'dazor, king's rest, Tol'dagor, Underroot, Seralis Temple, hell, i don't like open world dungeons, but Siege of Boralus was fucking amazing!. ALSO BTW. Of course you can navigate Vanilla dungeons blindfolded dude... is because you ran them way too many times....... Same happens to me... but i don't see that as a pro... i see it as a con... i know the vanilla dungeons so damn well that i can run them with my eyes closed... so easily that is boring... And i love them... but i did each one of them so many times that is hard for me to run tru all over again... I counted 100 runs tru UBRS, JUST IN VANILLA, just on my paladin, to get him the lightforged spaulders... and my paladin isnt even my main! I ran that place so many times just on my paladin that i even can tell you i LOST the roll on the Blade of Sharam... against the imba dwarf tank with tier 2 and thunderfury! most people don't even know that weapon exists... let alone seen it drop... is so rare.
@jose juan andrade I think the dungeons were OK, maybe a bit too easy though. I did not enjoy the game and that made me NOT enjoy the dungeons either. I did not enjoy any classes mechanics since WOD. I hated how all loot is about the same and meaningless. I honestly do not remember a single name of any loot since WOD... and i played WOD/Legion/BFA here and there. The game is just not for players like myself anymore. I am very happy you enjoyed it a lot though, dont get me wrong. I just wish i could too.
I was pretty upset when I entered Shadowfang after they changed it. They ruined all the old dungeons in one way or another, either by nurfing enemy damage and abilities, or by making dungeons shorter and cutting off content.
SFK was for horde like Deadmines was for alliance. Sometimes, you would see the horde doing Deadmines, and sometimes you'd see alliance doing SFK. It was also the first opportunity for pvp servers to have pvpers wiping pvers, before they could go into the two dungeons
My favourite thing about SFK as an alliance player was the journey to get there the VERY first time you travel to it. Running from Wetlands through to Silverpine forest and everything that falls inbetween really instills a sense of adventure, this experience in itself is an excellent moment to get to know your group and the world itself. From crossing the bridge to get to Arathi Highlands, and then seeing the great wall and broken portcullis that seperates it from Hillsbrad Foothills. Seeing Durnholde keep as you traverse further, until eventually hitting Silverpine forest where the tone of the world descends into a darkness that is only exhacerbated when you finally reach the dreaded Shadowfang Keep. And that, my friends, is only the beginning. ;) See you in Classic.
Another wonderful video. Really well done, they storytelling that you are doing in the video really shows how much you have improved at this. I'd rate you one of the best WoW content creators in the world that are currently active. I really would like to emphasize the fact that you are so good at knowing the game, knowing which items are relevant etc, but also you are able to tie that together with one of the best storytelling experiences available. This combination really makes you such a wonderful blessing for the WoW community. Thank you so much! :)
It is amazing how good the loot from this instance is. You can actually do the dungeon in order to get the loot (even though I do it for the amazing atmosphere). But blizzard really put in a lot of work with the gear for the dungeon. The loot really provides the cherry on top and gives that real motivation for doing the dungeon. If you get a good drop and you are a average player, you can actually wear that loot for several weeks to come.
SFK is such a classic. I always loved it. It was my first WoW dungeon. I rolled an Undead and was wandering around in Silverpine Forest and blundered in like the noob I was, just thinking it was neat. Wow, what's this?? Of course i got killed immediately. I remember going years later with my belf pally to get the special steel hidden in the barn.
Shadowfang Keep holds one of the pieces to make the iconic Verigan's Fist for Paladins! The quest item lays in the stables. I won't forget that first pull of the felsteeds and the warrior just... melted. Those horses hit ridiculously hard.
This video was very thorough and well done, focusing on a lot of small but interesting vital detail. There was however one particular element they left out, which was very surprising to me. The legendary Shadowfang 1H sword, the highest tier in the lvl 19 twinking bracket from Vanilla - Wotlk. Dungeons were very much defined by the loot it dropped, and reputation around SFK from gear was the low lvl equivalent to Naxx with Corrupted Ashbringer and other gear.
I remember wildly running through the forest, on my first character back in WOTLK. I was doing a good job of escaping the group of mobs that I had pulled in accident. That is, until I ran right in to a Son of Arugal. Aka, a fast death for my level 14 (I think) Shadow Priest.
SFK, School, and UBRS were the most fun I ever had in dungeons in vanilla, the feel of each dungeon, the mobs, the bosses, and epic feeling when completing it all were so good. Those were the days.
How could you forget the elusive Shadowfang sword?! I believe it only randomly dropped there! What a great dungeon. I loved Mara, ZF, Scholo and Strath the most in vanilla. Also really liked the mini raids of UBRS and ZG
Are you talking about the butcher's slicer or the one that drops of the rare? If the rare, the armor is more remembered in our opinion. Thanks for watching!
@@DefcampMelderonTV You might not of ever seen it, it was a twink lvl 19 rare one handed sword that dropped off of any Worgen mobs in the keep. Was called the Shadowfang, had like five of them from running the place so much. It was a rare dungeon drop from the general mob pool sort of like the Deadman's Hand.
all dungeons were really good untill LFG and the remake of dungeons so. i rember fondly going to deadmines as level 8 orc. the journey from kalimdor to menethil harbor and then to westfall was full of dangers...the aliance preventing you from entering the dungeon so you had to run from them and probably die a few times before entering the dungeon. inside it was a serious pirate hideout from the gunnies and... it was so cool man...i feel blessed i experienced it :)
@@arkh1730 They're better paced, in general trash and mobs have more/better mechanics, having all quests inside gives you a sense of accomplishment even if you don't get anything else done (drops, level up, etc). Not really dungeon related, but it also helped that the class mechanics you tackled them with were more engaging (at least in cata, not sure about newer expansion). This being said, two things: 1. There's something to doing a quest chain before you can get a dungeon quest. What they should have done, is have some quests inside the dungeon, but save some for the people "bothering" to do world content as well. 2. Classic versions of dungeons are more memorable, for reasons mentioned in another comment thread here. You run them more, slower (in modern wow, everything seems to be a speed run), and thus have the chance to create more memories.
Sweet friggin' video! Having two seperate voices actually help me focus more on the information, I find it. And both your voices are nice to listen to, although not MadSeasonShow level, just yet :D
There is a piece of the Paladin quest for the Verigan's Fist that is done in that dungeon. In spite of it being a blue item, it is an epic upgrade at that low level.
Was waiting for you guys to mention Verigans Fist quest chain for Paladin's.. was looking forward to classic and I need to familiarize myself with that quest chain. Would be awesome if you guys could make vids on all the class quests that are musts like whirlwind axe at 30 for wars... Tbh, I never even knew about class quests back then...
we have a vid that really goes pretty deep into that questline back on one of our Super Plate Bros. Episodes. The episode is called "Defcamp gets a Hammer" and it is mostly about Verigans Fist! You should check it out! Also the SPB episode #20 is when we do SFK on our alliance toons.
SFK was my very first dungeon. i had rolled a paladin (buff monkey) and on my questline to get a weapon, I had to go there. I went alone not knowing anything about dungeons and couldnt get past the first worgen. asked for help and dint want to leave. its probably the catalyst that got me hooked on WoW. this and vanilla Scarlet Monestary were my all time faves. I still go through SFK ocassionly but sadly is lost a lot of luster. Also there was a pretty decent staff drop in SFK, but i cant remember what and off who. Great video, thanks for making it!
My favorite vanilla dungeon is Wailing Caverns. It is one the only noob stories I can remember. Trying to make my way to the instance itself. Getting lost once or twice die to how expansive it once was. *That damn jump, you had to time JUST RIGHT.* i still remind that leatherworking pattern vendor in a hidden cave above the main cavern.
They could return old dungeons like this as archives found by the Bronze Dragonflight and allowing you to return to old instances that was removed like the original sfk or original upper blackrock spires raid etc.
love classic sfk. Must get robes for my priest and all my alts. Then spend every October there because it's very Octobery. cata broke my heart with sfk, sm, ubrs ... I can't wait to see them all again
As an Alliance player this dungeon was so far away, so the lewt was that much more valuable (Much like Scarlet Monestary) Plus I really loved that fast-paced music.
I laughed at your section about rare loot as someone who ran SFK many 100s of times for Shadowfang. I love SFK but it's feeling of being railroaded makes WC shine above it imo.
People are giving Blizzard crap about how they are handling the game today (I Personally Blane Activision). I know they can redeem themselves, and they have two great things going for them, 1: They still care about the Lore 2: They ARE listening So even if they’re in a rut now, I know they can go from 1 to 10 in a single patch. They just need to remember “THEY ARE BLIZZARD”
It was nice but not that good for me. I remember doing hundreds of speed runs with my main to get that BoE blue dagger for my twink though, placed agility enchant on that one, and enchantment of the crusader on a blue sword I had.
Great video overall, was hooked the whole way through. Though i must say i could not take you seriously when you were raving about an item with 8 stamina :D
My favourite part was definitely the switch between musics. And the game tells you there « not only bosses can be annoying » when you encounter some trash mobs (anti-magic shield, aoe silence, the horrible curse, the ghost wolves that summon others, the curse that randomly reduces a skill...) Very impressive work on a dungeon, but while SM was good, it’s behind this one. But both of them are behind the best dungeon ever made: the stockades ! Just kidding, I meant Blackrock Depth, which is a masterpiece of a RPG by itself
man there are really people that play wow on a nother level. i havent read a single quest text in over 10 years of playing. the first thing i did after creating my first character was to disable sound. i could not care less why i have to kill bosses, since each boss is just another reskin of the usual mobs in its respective leveling zone, as long as he drops loot. without a damagemeter i wouldnt even play wow because the fun for me comes from competing with people in the meters.
Alliance had Deadmines. Horde needed an instance to be adequate. WC wasn't it. Something had to be it. Can't say if SFK was better than VC, but, it was good enough. Plus the design was cool. And they didn't need to rip off a popular 80s movie to make it.
WC was such a hard dungeon back then, as it was really long and most groups ended up breaking up before even getting it done + most people did not know about the murlock boss in the end, as people rarely got to that part anyway
Do you remember back in the days that they were petrified gargoyles on terrace top with their nasty fears? Well i didn't saw them in Vanilla Classic...
Chronologically he didn't. All of my SW experience is from the original Trilogy (4,5,6). I've watched the prequels maybe 2-3 times in total. Was not a fan
my first dungeon in WOW. A bunch of noobs who had no idea what they were doing, and made it a raid group to try to get through it. Even though you can't do quests or get drops with a raid I think, we still couldn't make it through. We sucked so bad.
11:24 Dude! You just stripped naked that corpse... and are now wearing a dead man's clothes! Out of joke, did you ever noticed all the agility the cloth items in that place had? That's why we casters were so unstoppable back in vanilla... we had too much dodge from all that agility
When i first found the Sons of Arugal on my warlock, they were certainly tough... but not unkillable. Stitches in the other hand... shivers! I remember people seeing Stitches in the road... and trying to fight him... Hahahahaha! Tho i managed to kite him on my lock and kill him a few times :) /flex
@@josejuanandrade4439 To me, it’s sad that they nerfed Stitches, along with every other elite in Azeroth, TBC and Wrath. Those named mobs, and outdoor instances packed with elite mobs, inspired players to group up and work together. By making all leveling content soloable, Blizzard effectively took the “Multiplayer” out of MMORP.
@@DefcampMelderonTV For the most part, you could say the same about Alliance players and Sons of Arugal. Off-topic, I enjoy your videos. I hope you do one on Vanilla Scholomance. What Blizz did when they revamped that dungeon is a crying shame.
Even if my character is Max level, I always kill that one Son of Aragul, you know the one, right by the ditch with that fallen tree, revenge! For so many deaths. I punk that guy if I am ever close and shout out to the zone if he has killed anyone and needs help.
i dont agree, i think ZF is by far the best place ever :) whenever i hit Tanaris i know im close. Great video as always Lads! Thank you! but i hear the same from alot of people shadow fang keep is so guuud! for some strange reason i havent hooked up with friends. yet, Normally i find my buddys in tanaris for some strange reason! :) after you hit the Brill you normaly go barrens directly. :(
Thanks for the comment. Actually, when I play undead, I always finish SIlverpine. It's one of my favorite zones. ZF is wonderful as well. That's in the plans too!
As you can probably now tell, we really love this Dungeon. The quests, the lore, the architecture, the ambiance, all come together to make Classic SFK one of a kind. How do you feel about Classic SFK?
the one flaw with SFK is there is no Quick Exit at the end
I love how the Pyrewood villagers turn into humans during the day and Worgen during the night. It adds a lot to the feel. :)
SFK was the very first dungeon I did in 2005. I was a troll mage back then and I remember those 2 people from my guild who talked me into this for like 15 minutes because of that sweet decurse ability. 45 minutes later they managed to guide me to the entrance portal just to find out another 20 minutes later that I didn't buy the decurse skill. Ah, the good ol' days.
Sounds a lot like my first dungeon (Deadmines), also as a mage. They brought me along for the additional CC. I didn't even know what the hell CC was, but I was too afraid to ask, thinking they'd kick me out for being too big a noob. So, we go in and they start marking mobs and the group leader is like: 'Alright, mage, you CC the dude marked with circle.' I thought CC just meant 'keep the mob busy by attracting its attention so the tank doesn't get overrun.' Got pwned real fast ofcourse but they were real chill about it and explained what they wanted me to do.
When you think about stuff like that, you're going: 'Damn, I was such a fucking NOOB back then.' But you still think fondly of those days. Some of my sweetest memories are from Vanilla and TBC.
@@Xylarxcode I can relate so much to this xD
Don't forget the bags that drop off the hell horses in the courtyard.
Forget that, not even an honorable mention for the dagger??? Some rogues are gonna want to talk with them !
All these years later, I'm still butthurt about Arugal randomly 1-shotting people with his shadowbolts.
As an Alliance player, SFK is not a usual haunt. Yes, some take the trek, but this dungeon is usually missed by the Alliance half. I do remember my first time running it though. A real-life friend of mine playing a gnome mage sent me a whisper saying he needed my help. I agreed and set out. I didnt even know where this place was. I just knew Alliance was not welcome there. And the NPCs and players alike let us know. Once in, i was very impressed with the Castlevania-esque feel of the place. Wiped a few times, but we got to the end and slew Arugal.
And incase you were wondering... my mage friend got his robes.
Epic tale!
Indeed!
Nice I mained Horde, but Deadmines was similar for me. I had to beg thanks a few times to make the trek so I could get my swords and bandana.
This was a good tale to read, I love hearing others talk about vanilla WoW. Everyone makes it sound so cool I wish I played it back in the day
Ah the Robes of Arugal! My first character, a shadow priest, wore those for quite some time. This was favorite lower level dungeon. Scholomance and Stratholme were the others in my top three. Scarlet Monastery was much beloved as well! It's a shame that they were all ruined!
There were several reasons to adore SFK farming:
1. The dungeon had a ton of bosses. This meant that you could gear up in a hurry by running through this dungeon and the consistancy with which they dropped some of the gear made it super reliable; that first boss dropped a set of leather shoulders that gave out a +8 to agility and could be equipped by folks who were level 18 and as such just about everyone grabbed them since that was a solid bonus for anyone.
2. Plentiful greens. Maybe it was the plethora of adds or just something about the dungeon, but this place seemed to drop a lot of greens. Now granted, randomly generated loot is sketchy, but it also means you could snag some odds and ends to help gear up, sell them on AH or DE them if you were an enchanter.
3. Skinners paradise. Prior to Cataclysm, worgen were skinnable and that meant that half the adds in the dungeon would provide light, medium and occasionally even heavy leather; I was able to grind my ass to 200 skinning just by farming this place ad nauseum, and I have fond memories of my paladin farming this place in my late twenties for stacks of leather to sell on AH.
4. To the point. Unlike some of the other dungeons in classic, SFK was pretty much one straight line (so people never got lost like in wailing caverns) and could be completed by a semi competent group in about an hour which meant that people could do it 3 or 4 times in an afternoon and that meant that you built frendships and trusts.
5. Forgiving. Also, since the dungeon wasn't really high level a fury warrior could pull on a shield or a shadow priest could try and heal; it wasn't ideal but it was feasible to do if you were careful.
SFK was a Dungeon masterpiece! it was the first lvl 20+ dungeon i went to back in vanilla, you needed to think and play as a grp about CC's and patroling npcs if not it was a wipe that is what made this the perfect dungeon in my opinion.
i miss the commucation we needed back then to get through the dungeon not like today we just qq up get summoned in then everyone just does random shit until the dungeon is over then they leave in a heartbeat...
I remember loving this instance so much, every boss and lots of great loot. I was a mage back then and felt really proud i was able to cure curses and keep it going smoothly.
Yeah, it was such a blast
Excellent video guys! I never consciously notice the shifting of ambiance and music in the Dungeon. Its very well done indeed.
I used to run this dungeon every day back in BC for a twink item that was BoE called the Assassin’s Blade for my lvl 19 rogue. 😊
The thing I remember most about this dungeon is that it had a very low chance of dropping a BoE dagger that was highly desired by twink rogues who would pay ridiculous amounts of gold for one. A friend of mine actually got lucky enough to see the dagger drop on one of his runs AND he managed to get the winning roll on it. His party flew into a rage and argued and bitched and moaned, but he just ditched them and ended up hustling back to SW to sell it. Didn't take him long, because he managed to sell it that very same day for 300 gold (that was A LOT of gold, back then). For us low level noobs, 300 gold was an almost unfathomable amount of cash and it felt like you just watched someone win the lottery. And that's where his luck ended, because shortly after that he could no longer afford the subscription fees and I didn't see him online again until well into TBC, when his 300 gold fortune was ... less impressive...
Great story. You're talking about the shadowfang dagger..it's got a 0.6% drop rate to my knowledge which is why we didn't highlight it here.
I remember SFK fondly because it really helped me understand my CC potential as a mage. All because of that hay filled room with ghost wolves and worgen. Anybody who did SFK in vanilla probably know what I'm talking about.
However, that actually wasn't my first experience with SFK. The first time I went in...makes me cringe and grin all at the same time. The first time I did SFK we had an asshole in the group that was as selfish as you can imagine. He was an undead rogue named Lickmyballz. I'm not even joking about that. He was also our party leader. He gave us all shit the whole time, even before we got into the instance. He taunted the healer, he taunted me, calling me a noob for picking the vending machine for a class and telling me my gear was shit even though his was no better. I ignored him. We also had a tauren warrior who was our tank, the others I don't remember. When I first entered, I was definitely in awe of the place. I remember the eerie music and how when the music was silent all I could hear was the wind and a wolf howling in the distance. I would have remembered it more fondly if it wasn't for Lickmyballz barking orders at us. I remember him telling me to not decurse people because it's extra XP or something.
Anyway, there used to be a spot in SFK where you can actually fall off and get ported outside the instance(don't know if it's still possible now). Our tank had a lag spike and accidentally walked off, got ported out of the instance and fell down the cliffs. I was already running back to the entrance to use the summoning stone even before our tank apologetically requested a summon. Lickmyballz told him "No nooblet fuck ass you fell you get to walk back" which was completely ridiculous because the only way our tank could get back was to hearth to org, take the zep to UC then the FP to sepulcher and run all the way south to the instance.
I said "No, c'mon one of you, just help me summon, it's no big deal." the other two agreed and one of them was already on his way to help me.
Our tank just said "Yes please, thank you."
Lickmyballz got furious at us, saying, "NO, HE'S A FUCKING NOOB IN THE FIRST PLACE HE WALKS OR I KICK HIM."
We tried to reason with him, I even defended the tank by saying "No, it wasn't his fault, he lagged and accidentally walked off. It happens. Just let us summon him, it's much faster."
Lickmyballz wouldn't listen to reason. "IM THE LEADER OF THIS GROUP. NONE OF YOU WOULD BE HERE WITHOUT ME. YOU DO AS I SAY WHEN I SAY YOU SCRUBS. AND ANYBODY WHO TRIES TO HELP HIM WILL GET KICKED TOO!" We were already a decent way through the dungeon so none of us wanted to get kicked. All of us apologized to our tank and he told us it was okay and that he was already on his way back.
We were whispering each other, trying to find a way to get back at Lickmyballz. Karma beat us to it though. While the others and I were toying with the idea of ninja looting something from him, he was in the background, jumping around. Just as our tank made it to the entrance of the instance, guess who gets a lag spike and jumps clear off the edge. In all my years of playing video games, there are very few things that have ever compared the satisfaction if seeing that jackass eat his own words.
All three of us that were standing there just typed LOL and HAHA in chat so much that our tank was confused. Lickmyballz kept demanding that we summon him but we just kept laughing. I don't know about the other two but I hardly had any air in my lungs to breath let alone the self control to calm down enough to type. When we finally told the tank what happened, the tank said "Well, guess you gotta walk back. Ha ha."
To say Lickmyballz was pissed is an understatement. He kept demanding us to summon him. I said "Our tank is back, we don't need you." so we went on to clearing the next room all with Lickmyballz barking orders at us. He eventually left the group and we all /cheered. Just then, my warlock friend who was the same level as me came online and I told him we were doing SFK and asked him to join. He did, we summoned him and I was finally able to enjoy SFK for what it was. My favorite part was my lock buddy and I were the pinnacle of teamwork when it came time to CC that first pull in the hay filled room with the ghost wolves and worgen, you know the one. He had his voidwalker off tank a mob, I sheeped another mob, then I slowed another while he dotted it up. It was just awesomeness in spades that day.
A great story of instant karma. Thanks so much for this story
I also loved SFK for that classic dungeon crawl feel in a castle. It also reminded me a little of Karnor's Castle in EQ. Another favorite of mine was Dire Maul tribute runs. You needed to be clever to get the most possible loot at the end. Plus Ogres. Always loved ogres.
I didn't start until Burning Crusade, but SFK was my favorite old-school dungeon. Especially since several classes had class quests to gather materials and items from the Keep to get some class goodies.
The best thing IMO about classic dungeons is the length. Each felt like a deep delve into a hostile area full of mystery (at least the first time in each). Classic BRD is still my favorite dungeon ever.
BRD is excellent
What a horrible night to have a curse.
Hey guys, this truly was an excellent video - would love to see you take on the other dungeons in the same fashion!!
On my main, back in the day I had a fun story. A 2h axe with a shadow bolt proc dropped, and the party let me have it. We got to Arugal and guess who got mind controlled. I killed the party, but since I was on his side he let me live. Then I rezzed the party after he de-aggroed and the mind control wore off and we killed him. :)
Such fond memories, i got my first rare dagger as a rogue in SFK
These dungeons were created by Blizzard back when they CARED about the game and WERE GAMERS themseves. These days everything is done by devs that are NOT gamers and have crazy deadlines all in favor of making the most $ as possible. I honestly dont even remember any dungeons from WOD/Legion... while i could navigate most vanilla dungeons blind folded and know where all the bosses are
Well said. Couldn't agree more
oh and i forgot to mention, later Blizzard had the audacity to go back and CHANGE classic dungeons such as SFK/Deadmines and literally ruin it :(
This is why I unsubbed and went to private servers (I'm a cata baby.) Grinding these dungeons leveling planted the seed, and seeing MC for the first time sold me.
No regrets :3
I'm sorry but i have to disagree. Dungeons in WoW have ALWAYS been top notch. WoD had some SUPERB dungeons. Regardless how damn short that expansion was, it left us with some of the best dungeons in years! Auchindon, Iron Docks, Skyreach, ShadowMoon Burial Grounds and of course Grim Rail Depot! Best fucking dungeon ever! (i love trains). Legion had a share of annoying dungeons but let me tell you something, as a BIG WOW LORE NERD i had been waiting for Black Rook Hold for years! the ravencrest legacy? fucking yeah! And Maw of Souls... a ghost ship? cmon! And court of starts? one of the best rpg dungeons in decades! with so many interesting and unique features and mechanics! i mean cmon! theres a mini game of "guess who" just to get to the last boss! I loved every inch of that place. Oh and Karazhan? Man, did you run that place???? I hate revamps. I hate what they did to SM and Scholo... But Kara was NOT a revamp... we HAVE old kara.. AND the new one compliments it SO well! I want more like that. New dungeons that respects the original, as in we can run the original but also have the new one, and the new one is a worth continuation of the original lore?
And BfA is following the trend of memorable dungeons. Waycrest Manor is the haunted house dungeon we always wanted. In many respects remind me of SFK. The story is gold. Is the culmination of everything in Durstvar, till the revelation the one behind everything is the very lady Waycrest, the mother of the person we been helping tru the whole zone! And the reazon she did everything was cuz she was desperate to keep her husband alive! Then we have Atal'dazor, king's rest, Tol'dagor, Underroot, Seralis Temple, hell, i don't like open world dungeons, but Siege of Boralus was fucking amazing!.
ALSO BTW. Of course you can navigate Vanilla dungeons blindfolded dude... is because you ran them way too many times....... Same happens to me... but i don't see that as a pro... i see it as a con... i know the vanilla dungeons so damn well that i can run them with my eyes closed... so easily that is boring... And i love them... but i did each one of them so many times that is hard for me to run tru all over again... I counted 100 runs tru UBRS, JUST IN VANILLA, just on my paladin, to get him the lightforged spaulders... and my paladin isnt even my main! I ran that place so many times just on my paladin that i even can tell you i LOST the roll on the Blade of Sharam... against the imba dwarf tank with tier 2 and thunderfury! most people don't even know that weapon exists... let alone seen it drop... is so rare.
@jose juan andrade I think the dungeons were OK, maybe a bit too easy though. I did not enjoy the game and that made me NOT enjoy the dungeons either. I did not enjoy any classes mechanics since WOD. I hated how all loot is about the same and meaningless. I honestly do not remember a single name of any loot since WOD... and i played WOD/Legion/BFA here and there. The game is just not for players like myself anymore. I am very happy you enjoyed it a lot though, dont get me wrong. I just wish i could too.
I was pretty upset when I entered Shadowfang after they changed it. They ruined all the old dungeons in one way or another, either by nurfing enemy damage and abilities, or by making dungeons shorter and cutting off content.
Couldn't agree more. I stopped playing retail but I couldn't set foot into SFK after they ruined it
I will never forget not having a druid or mage for decurse in SFK..
AOAAOAAAH!
SFK was for horde like Deadmines was for alliance. Sometimes, you would see the horde doing Deadmines, and sometimes you'd see alliance doing SFK. It was also the first opportunity for pvp servers to have pvpers wiping pvers, before they could go into the two dungeons
My favourite thing about SFK as an alliance player was the journey to get there the VERY first time you travel to it. Running from Wetlands through to Silverpine forest and everything that falls inbetween really instills a sense of adventure, this experience in itself is an excellent moment to get to know your group and the world itself. From crossing the bridge to get to Arathi Highlands, and then seeing the great wall and broken portcullis that seperates it from Hillsbrad Foothills. Seeing Durnholde keep as you traverse further, until eventually hitting Silverpine forest where the tone of the world descends into a darkness that is only exhacerbated when you finally reach the dreaded Shadowfang Keep. And that, my friends, is only the beginning. ;) See you in Classic.
Another wonderful video. Really well done, they storytelling that you are doing in the video really shows how much you have improved at this. I'd rate you one of the best WoW content creators in the world that are currently active.
I really would like to emphasize the fact that you are so good at knowing the game, knowing which items are relevant etc, but also you are able to tie that together with one of the best storytelling experiences available. This combination really makes you such a wonderful blessing for the WoW community. Thank you so much! :)
It is amazing how good the loot from this instance is. You can actually do the dungeon in order to get the loot (even though I do it for the amazing atmosphere). But blizzard really put in a lot of work with the gear for the dungeon. The loot really provides the cherry on top and gives that real motivation for doing the dungeon. If you get a good drop and you are a average player, you can actually wear that loot for several weeks to come.
Wow, Linus. Thanks so much for your kind words! That really meant a lot!
SFK is such a classic. I always loved it. It was my first WoW dungeon. I rolled an Undead and was wandering around in Silverpine Forest and blundered in like the noob I was, just thinking it was neat. Wow, what's this?? Of course i got killed immediately. I remember going years later with my belf pally to get the special steel hidden in the barn.
Awesome story! Thanks for sharing it
Shadowfang Keep holds one of the pieces to make the iconic Verigan's Fist for Paladins! The quest item lays in the stables. I won't forget that first pull of the felsteeds and the warrior just... melted. Those horses hit ridiculously hard.
They do!
For the leveling Dungeons SFK is one of my favorites. However SM is king!
Honako Green yeah bro SM is like a small raid and really deep
BRD is actually the best.
@@tylermoore8795 brd is life man.
This video was very thorough and well done, focusing on a lot of small but interesting vital detail. There was however one particular element they left out, which was very surprising to me. The legendary Shadowfang 1H sword, the highest tier in the lvl 19 twinking bracket from Vanilla - Wotlk. Dungeons were very much defined by the loot it dropped, and reputation around SFK from gear was the low lvl equivalent to Naxx with Corrupted Ashbringer and other gear.
I remember wildly running through the forest, on my first character back in WOTLK. I was doing a good job of escaping the group of mobs that I had pulled in accident. That is, until I ran right in to a Son of Arugal. Aka, a fast death for my level 14 (I think) Shadow Priest.
Oh, I've been there too, haha
son of arugal one of the most nostalgic things for me in classic
SFK, School, and UBRS were the most fun I ever had in dungeons in vanilla, the feel of each dungeon, the mobs, the bosses, and epic feeling when completing it all were so good. Those were the days.
As a pally you need to complete SFK to get your lvl 20 quest hammer, and when I did it on nost, it was a blast! Great dungeon and video about it guys!
Yes! Great point. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, ok but come on. The Deadmines are a great dungeon too.
Of course it is, just not our favorite
How could you forget the elusive Shadowfang sword?! I believe it only randomly dropped there! What a great dungeon. I loved Mara, ZF, Scholo and Strath the most in vanilla. Also really liked the mini raids of UBRS and ZG
Are you talking about the butcher's slicer or the one that drops of the rare? If the rare, the armor is more remembered in our opinion. Thanks for watching!
@@DefcampMelderonTV You might not of ever seen it, it was a twink lvl 19 rare one handed sword that dropped off of any Worgen mobs in the keep. Was called the Shadowfang, had like five of them from running the place so much. It was a rare dungeon drop from the general mob pool sort of like the Deadman's Hand.
@@chrisbaldwin8570 wow, just looked it up. I have never seen that drop before..and I've been in there probably more than 100x
@@DefcampMelderonTV Lot of dungeons had loot drops like that. Check out Deadman's Hand, one of my favorite pvp drops for the 40 bracket.
@@DefcampMelderonTV Err, 29 bracket. Memory failed me there a bit.
all dungeons were really good untill LFG and the remake of dungeons so. i rember fondly going to deadmines as level 8 orc. the journey from kalimdor to menethil harbor and then to westfall was full of dangers...the aliance preventing you from entering the dungeon so you had to run from them and probably die a few times before entering the dungeon. inside it was a serious pirate hideout from the gunnies and... it was so cool man...i feel blessed i experienced it :)
The remake of dungeons generally made them better (difficulty not withstanding).
@@LasherTimora in what way?
@@arkh1730 They're better paced, in general trash and mobs have more/better mechanics, having all quests inside gives you a sense of accomplishment even if you don't get anything else done (drops, level up, etc). Not really dungeon related, but it also helped that the class mechanics you tackled them with were more engaging (at least in cata, not sure about newer expansion).
This being said, two things:
1. There's something to doing a quest chain before you can get a dungeon quest. What they should have done, is have some quests inside the dungeon, but save some for the people "bothering" to do world content as well.
2. Classic versions of dungeons are more memorable, for reasons mentioned in another comment thread here. You run them more, slower (in modern wow, everything seems to be a speed run), and thus have the chance to create more memories.
@@LasherTimora wow is vanilla > wrath
Why didn’t you just take the zeppelin to STV and run up the coast. Woulda saved you some really good time
Sweet friggin' video! Having two seperate voices actually help me focus more on the information, I find it. And both your voices are nice to listen to, although not MadSeasonShow level, just yet :D
Lol Madseason is a master
There is a piece of the Paladin quest for the Verigan's Fist that is done in that dungeon. In spite of it being a blue item, it is an epic upgrade at that low level.
Was waiting for you guys to mention Verigans Fist quest chain for Paladin's.. was looking forward to classic and I need to familiarize myself with that quest chain. Would be awesome if you guys could make vids on all the class quests that are musts like whirlwind axe at 30 for wars... Tbh, I never even knew about class quests back then...
we have a vid that really goes pretty deep into that questline back on one of our Super Plate Bros. Episodes. The episode is called "Defcamp gets a Hammer" and it is mostly about Verigans Fist! You should check it out! Also the SPB episode #20 is when we do SFK on our alliance toons.
@@DefcampMelderonTV ohh awesome!! Thanks!! Definitely going to watch. Keep up the great content!!
Excellent work guys! Please do more vids like this.
SFK was my very first dungeon. i had rolled a paladin (buff monkey) and on my questline to get a weapon, I had to go there. I went alone not knowing anything about dungeons and couldnt get past the first worgen. asked for help and dint want to leave. its probably the catalyst that got me hooked on WoW. this and vanilla Scarlet Monestary were my all time faves. I still go through SFK ocassionly but sadly is lost a lot of luster. Also there was a pretty decent staff drop in SFK, but i cant remember what and off who.
Great video, thanks for making it!
That robe he drops thooo 🔥🔥
My favorite vanilla dungeon is Wailing Caverns. It is one the only noob stories I can remember. Trying to make my way to the instance itself. Getting lost once or twice die to how expansive it once was. *That damn jump, you had to time JUST RIGHT.* i still remind that leatherworking pattern vendor in a hidden cave above the main cavern.
Love the video! Friendly Suggestion: Add some music during the text transitions ex: 2:54
Hey thanks! There actually is a track playing during them..it's the SFK soundtrack. Perhaps we should have increased the volume
awesome video!. now i am even more excited to lvl a character again in classic wow!
Excellent to hear. Thanks for watching
The Butcher Slicer sword was great!! My fav on rogue
SFK, Stratholme and Scholomance were my favorite dungeons back in the day. Esp. the first two I ran ... so many times, I lost count.
They could return old dungeons like this as archives found by the Bronze Dragonflight and allowing you to return to old instances that was removed like the original sfk or original upper blackrock spires raid etc.
Oh god brings back memories I remember just seeing The Sons of Arigul? Scared the crap out of me.
Discount karaZhan was really cool
Wasn't there a few best in slot items for twinks? The robes from the final boss were prized by all casters iirc.
Yeah and the rings I believe
love classic sfk. Must get robes for my priest and all my alts. Then spend every October there because it's very Octobery. cata broke my heart with sfk, sm, ubrs ... I can't wait to see them all again
Because it dropped cloth in large amounts and cloth sold like hot cakes at the auction house.
It was all about thr guard captains mallet for me
As an Alliance player this dungeon was so far away, so the lewt was that much more valuable (Much like Scarlet Monestary) Plus I really loved that fast-paced music.
Yeah, scarlet monastery is one of my all times favorites, especially when you need to make some coin
Is it purely a 7/8 time signature? From a couple of listens I find it more to be 6/8, then 7/8, so basically 13/16. I may be wrong.
You are absolutely right. I just listened to it again. It goes from 6 to 7 for sure. Interesting. Nice pick up
I laughed at your section about rare loot as someone who ran SFK many 100s of times for Shadowfang. I love SFK but it's feeling of being railroaded makes WC shine above it imo.
For alliance players, VC was our equivalent. If you don't know "VC" you weren't there.
Deadmines was nice but tbh, I didn't get the same lasting feel from it
People are giving Blizzard crap about how they are handling the game today (I Personally Blane Activision). I know they can redeem themselves, and they have two great things going for them,
1: They still care about the Lore
2: They ARE listening
So even if they’re in a rut now, I know they can go from 1 to 10 in a single patch. They just need to remember “THEY ARE BLIZZARD”
Edit: And Hey Could be Worse.
Instead of Activision Blizzard, it could be Konami Blizzard
i really miss all of this
Waycrest Manor reminds me of SFK. The only dungeon which I liked in bfa.
It was nice but not that good for me. I remember doing hundreds of speed runs with my main to get that BoE blue dagger for my twink though, placed agility enchant on that one, and enchantment of the crusader on a blue sword I had.
very very vey nice video - enjoyed how every detail was in there, making all teh difference =D
Thanks so much!
I am literally drooling for sfk after watching this, great job!
Thanks so much!
I really like the eerie, creepy parts of wow so SFK is great!
Great video overall, was hooked the whole way through. Though i must say i could not take you seriously when you were raving about an item with 8 stamina :D
haha, I understand. However, that piece is so nice as a warrior or druid with aspirations to tank. Rings are hard to come by in early game
My favourite part was definitely the switch between musics.
And the game tells you there « not only bosses can be annoying » when you encounter some trash mobs (anti-magic shield, aoe silence, the horrible curse, the ghost wolves that summon others, the curse that randomly reduces a skill...)
Very impressive work on a dungeon, but while SM was good, it’s behind this one. But both of them are behind the best dungeon ever made: the stockades !
Just kidding, I meant Blackrock Depth, which is a masterpiece of a RPG by itself
One of the all time greatest dungeons in all of WoW!
Weren't SFK part of the Paladin class questline?
That's correct
Ohh the memoreis and the music :)
You can do a video on class quests in sunken temple
Not a bad idea!
I'm Alliance and love it. Can't wait to do it a few times while leveling up
SFK is largely well-designed...until you get to the large open corridor after traversing the ramparts and the entire foyer pulls for no reason.
Sfk and Scarlet mona, my two favorites lore wise.
shadowfang keep was soo cool few pretty awesome twink item droped there ;-))
good old times
man there are really people that play wow on a nother level. i havent read a single quest text in over 10 years of playing. the first thing i did after creating my first character was to disable sound. i could not care less why i have to kill bosses, since each boss is just another reskin of the usual mobs in its respective leveling zone, as long as he drops loot. without a damagemeter i wouldnt even play wow because the fun for me comes from competing with people in the meters.
Hey man, absolutely. I think that is what makes WoW great tbh. It's the way it can speak to so many people
Wait! You don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a sense of pride and accomplishment?
SFK is the second best vanilla dungeon ^^ (first is the glorius Shadowforge City of the mighty Dark Iron Empire, aka BRD).
BRD is excellent as well
more videos like these please
Alliance had Deadmines. Horde needed an instance to be adequate. WC wasn't it. Something had to be it. Can't say if SFK was better than VC, but, it was good enough.
Plus the design was cool.
And they didn't need to rip off a popular 80s movie to make it.
WC was such a hard dungeon back then, as it was really long and most groups ended up breaking up before even getting it done + most people did not know about the murlock boss in the end, as people rarely got to that part anyway
Do you remember back in the days that they were petrified gargoyles on terrace top with their nasty fears? Well i didn't saw them in Vanilla Classic...
You describe Darth Vader as if he didn't exist until the prequels.
Chronologically he didn't. All of my SW experience is from the original Trilogy (4,5,6). I've watched the prequels maybe 2-3 times in total. Was not a fan
O yes Pyrewood.....that place was nasty.
my first dungeon in WOW. A bunch of noobs who had no idea what they were doing, and made it a raid group to try to get through it. Even though you can't do quests or get drops with a raid I think, we still couldn't make it through. We sucked so bad.
11:24 Dude! You just stripped naked that corpse... and are now wearing a dead man's clothes!
Out of joke, did you ever noticed all the agility the cloth items in that place had? That's why we casters were so unstoppable back in vanilla... we had too much dodge from all that agility
jose juan andrade
It’s similar to intellect/spirit for melee classes.
I disagree about the Sons of Arugal being the first fel reaver. That honor clearly goes to Stitches.
"get off the road!!!"
Gets me every time
Haha fair point but horde players don't get to experience him
When i first found the Sons of Arugal on my warlock, they were certainly tough... but not unkillable. Stitches in the other hand... shivers!
I remember people seeing Stitches in the road... and trying to fight him... Hahahahaha! Tho i managed to kite him on my lock and kill him a few times :) /flex
@@josejuanandrade4439 To me, it’s sad that they nerfed Stitches, along with every other elite in Azeroth, TBC and Wrath. Those named mobs, and outdoor instances packed with elite mobs, inspired players to group up and work together.
By making all leveling content soloable, Blizzard effectively took the “Multiplayer” out of MMORP.
@@DefcampMelderonTV For the most part, you could say the same about Alliance players and Sons of Arugal. Off-topic, I enjoy your videos. I hope you do one on Vanilla Scholomance. What Blizz did when they revamped that dungeon is a crying shame.
Robes of Arugal is still a meme tho.
See's Son of Arugal in the woods.....o shit.
edit: What the hell happened...........?
I'm stopping watching because I'm getting too hyped I feekvlike I could cry. Take the stairs!
So many class quests took you there though many ignored than :(
Only 2 to my knowledge: paladin and warlock
I think mage may as well.
this video is awesome....and SFK it great. Coming up to it on my horde SOM toon.
son of arugal has ganked me more than other players.
protip: put a Mark on them so you can spot them instantly while lvling .
i also love shadowfang keep, dat envioment tho
hey can any1 tell me the ending songs name
No mention of the Shadowfang?
Even if my character is Max level, I always kill that one Son of Aragul, you know the one, right by the ditch with that fallen tree, revenge! For so many deaths. I punk that guy if I am ever close and shout out to the zone if he has killed anyone and needs help.
Utgarde Keep is well-liked?
During Wotlk? Absolutely
i dont agree, i think ZF is by far the best place ever :) whenever i hit Tanaris i know im close. Great video as always Lads! Thank you! but i hear the same from alot of people shadow fang keep is so guuud! for some strange reason i havent hooked up with friends. yet, Normally i find my buddys in tanaris for some strange reason! :) after you hit the Brill you normaly go barrens directly. :(
Thanks for the comment. Actually, when I play undead, I always finish SIlverpine. It's one of my favorite zones. ZF is wonderful as well. That's in the plans too!
Classic sfk > retail sfk
Question - how much is blizzard paying you for each positive video ? =)
lol. not a friggin' dime. We don't want Blizzard's money. We want Blizzard to improve the state of the game we love
