I started doing these runs after watching this video, though I had heard of people doing it before. It took me probably around a dozen times to realize a few little mistakes I was making that kept getting me killed, so I figured I'd share them here in case others are having the same snags. 1. ALWAYS run in a straight line. Even a slight curve to your pathing can cause her to catch up to you early. 2. When you're a little ahead of her, but far enough away that fire blast is out of range, turn to face her and cast scorch then an immediate fireblast, and blink away immediately. I was turning to do the Scorch-Blast with Blink not quite off cooldown yet and it was getting me killed. I've found it best to just make sure the cooldown on Blink is done rather than with 2-3 seconds left. 3. If you have enough HP to survive a hit or two from her on the initial pull, you can actually trigger a Duststorm yourself. Pyroblast, Fireball, Scorch, Scorch, Fireblast, then turn and blink away. You'll get hit once or twice, but it's been triggering a duststorm about half the time, for me. Just make sure that duststorm's off cooldown (use Deadly Boss Mods) before you pop your Barov trinket to trigger another one. 4. As you're running through the place to get to her, all you Herb/Alchemists out there are going to be picking up Ghost Mushrooms and Blindweeds. These are the exact materials needed for Limited Invulnerability Potions, so you really have no excuse not to make some and have them with you since you're collecting the materials yourself for free. Once I started carrying some for those "oh shit" moments, she became a LOT easier. Two tips here if you want to add some gold to your runs instead of just rushing the princess... 1. You can go over and kill Tinkerer Gizlock very easily if you're Combustion spec. He stays in place and shoots you, so make use of Mana Shield and Flame Ward (for the bombs he throws at you) and have a health potion handy just in case, and he's simple. He drops a blue that's worth anywhere from 2g26s to 3g21s, so it's an easy bit of money to vendor. Also, herbs spawn over near him so that's also a benefit. 2. Kill the turtles around the Princess's area! They can drop big-mouth clams that have a chance to drop Golden Pearls, which are currently worth around 25-30g on my server. They're non-elite and die real quick with a pyro/fireball and fireblast combo.
Love your videos, just got the dagger yesterday after 298 runs! One thing that helped me a lot since I was doing this on a very under geared alt was to always grab an onyxia buff, it will last you at least 20-25 runs if you are only farming the princess. It also made pom pyro the best spec even without good gear.
16:13 I freaking love old fire mages. Favorite thing back in the day was soloing elites out in Azshara or Un'Goro. Wasn't at max level at the time, but I was able to get Ignite to chew away up to 2,500 of a mob's health at a time. Helluva feeling.
Just got my dagger drop on my 20th solo kill using the 3rd fire spec you outlined. Was a personal best kill time of 77 seconds, and I took no damage from her. Very very happy, and now I can respec back to my farm build 😬
For all my gnome friends out there there are a couple spots in the princess room where you will be swimming. I would suggest running in a circle once first to make sure you can run where you mean to pat. Good luck out there!
With Phase 5 now out, they have increased the dagger drop rate DRAMATICALLY. It is even more worth giving it a shot, should only take a couple of days to get the drop with these percentages.
Thank you for mentioning me, however in my video im frost/fire spec 0/20/31. they way I do it is about 10-12 min per reset so it avoids getting lockout. It's just is a way to make some extra gold on the side while farming dagger :) Great video.
Great vid! I personally found the range holding fire builds to be easier to execute. With the ability to outrange her boulders you can just run around absolutely howewer long you want. That way you can secure her kill every single time even if you fucked up somewhere.
thanks for all the clear tips. i was able to two shot her on my mage for my warrior alt's thrash blade quest and blackstone ring today. i failed on the first attemptbecause i did no research. the second attempt, i barely got touched and downed her quickly. all because of your video. thanks!
9:15 play her like a raidboss? activate mouse click makro for frostbolt spam and go afk? :D ( only at garr and nef i need evocation, always else the bosses just die )
One thing i’d like to add is that I personally prefer my deep frost winter’s chill spec for this farm because while deep fire is optimal in terms of speed I find the respec into fire unnecessary due to how fast you can bang out this farm. I can do the 5 instance lockout doing princess in ~40 minute while maintaining my raid AND 1 pull mara farming spec ❤️
Can you send your spec? I'm using a similar spec that is 1pull capable and winters chill, but I'm curious to see what tradeoffs you are making between arcane and frost.
Hi man been thinking of trying the deep fire spec now. Just got full t2 and the proc can proc on proc. Started neffy with 3 insta cast in row after first frostbolt! May not be bis dps set but its the best fun you can ever have as a mage while getting the 3 neffy loots! Also good videos to watch man
Took me 5 tries just to get it down. Definitely deep fire. After about 30 kills, no blade yet. I leveled a mage just to sit at maraudon whenever i feel like farming it.
this just in: the government has hired oghmage to be in charge of gathering enough currency for the entire 2 trillion dollar stimulus package. estimates have him ahead of schedule
Also I would love a video on tips on farms with the dagger :) I suppose Sunken Temple, ZF, Armory & ZG are some good farms but should be more out there?
Hey, I know I'm two years late but I've been playing in Classic Era and just leveled a mage. Your videos have been quite inciteful. I've gotten a couple kills at this point and have noticed that near the end of the fight, she slows down dramatically. Have you happened to notice at what percentage this actually happens or is it gradual? Thanks again!
If your mage has enough ZG rep maybe grab the 2 hour 20% run speed buff and the stam one which should help given the way you're kiting. Also, can I add... in Vanilla 1st time I ever went to Mara on my warlock we were with a rogue (bet you can see where this is going) and the dagger off princess dropped. I passed, mage was like ZOMG and needed.... "clank" rogue won it as the dps was like 1.0 dps better than his green. Might try my pimped out fire mage in there, she hasn't raided but has 280+ SP and has access to wizard oil and SP elixirs.
Great video as always. I've been curious about the Pom Pyro build. I am running princess as deep fire build. I hope the dagger drops soon so I can quit this farm...
Arlaeus the spot when you can farm a Blackstone ring for someone doesn't work. I tried with ML and nothing happened. I'll try again with regular group loot but yeah, was very strange... I was standing right into the corner as directed. EDIT**** Group loot worked so all good :) thanks mate
Would you think this Poss at 58? I want to farm the dagger sooner, but you don’t get final Pyro until 60, but you only really get one off for the whole fight by the looks of it, so wondered what else would hinder you by not being lvl 60.
so i usually run by 2-3 blindweed nodes per run and usually like one ghost mushroom node every other run doing just the normal run up to princess with sometimes going slightly out of the way for the ghost mushroom
If you run through all of Mara (Orange, Purple, and Falls) there are always 8 Ghost Mushrooms per run. Usually 3 Blindweed nodes down in the falls, so thats 3-9 blindweed per run. There are also 2-3 Stranglekelp down in the water where Rotgrip roams.
whats the addon or weakaura's that shows you how long timewise you have on your lock outs? that seems really handy as its often i get ported out after X amount of times cause i forget to keep track
@@gamersrevenge6528 really any frost build with water ele should be fine, PvP or PvE. but for an optimised princess farm i'd go something like this. tbc.wowhead.com/talent-calc/mage/-05023-0505000312230013051451 you don't really need ice floes for this encounter. summon your elemental and send it to attack princess, try to get your first frostbolt to land around the same time as your elementals bolt. kite princess, using fire blast when you can. command your elemental to follow if it's going to go out of range. the goal is to get your elemental to pull threat, giving you a huge gap and triggering a dust cloud. pop CDs and unload. continue to kite until you need to iceblock to avoid her melee swing stacks & proc another dust cloud. fire off some frost bolts and make some distance. cold snap close to when hypothermia debuff is almost up and summon your second elemental, once your elemental is almost out of range, iceblock and she will run to attack your elemental, giving you a huge gap and causing another dust cloud. pop icy veins again and unload onto her.
@@heyLuhz i pop mind quick and hasten then as my elemental is attacking then i take aggro and somtimes it will dustcloud when it gets to me then if she doesnt i use iceblock and send her to my elemental and she will usually pop dust cloud and i will basically just finish her off or if i dont and i get unlocky i just refresh my cooldowns
Currently running DM E for Arcane Crystals with my GF with your spec from the 2 man video, but what about going Presence of Mind and deep fire without Combustion for both Princess and DM E bosses? Or is Combustion too important for the mana regen (and damage) to pass up for instant Pyroblast? (Fresh level 60 Mage with 3 Pre-raid bis pieces and terrible trinkets)
Hey would the Houndmaster's Dog Whistle cause the dust storm? If so then anyone could use the strat to cause it since as even a fresh 60 mage it should be easy to kill the hound master.
My warlock got this dagger 3 times. Didn't farm for 20 + weeks cuz of the honor grind but came back to it and got 2 drops within last month april-may 2020. I still do this old school gold farm (princess, rotgrip, tinker) cuz I have herbalism and ghost/blindweed are high in the AH for LIPs. Seemed more time efficient then doing DM East solo farm without mining. Too bad my mage is on the same account and a new lvl 60 so farming this on my mage would be time inefficient.
So if you use rank 1 AE you will generate even more mana as it cost only 75 mana. plus with clearcast you can not only get off a free cone of cold but gain a couple hundred mana
I was lucky tonight, getting blade of eternal darkness. I did the zombies in ZF afterwards, but I did not see the proc during that pull, does blizzard not work with blade? :)
only works on the first tick of blizzard. You also need to face the mobs. The best way to utilize it is coc/flamestrike combos with arcane explosion spam.
Hi Arlaeus. Wondering if this is possible with my current raid AP spec, 31/0/20. I am well geared. I just tried, with minor movement speed increase, pots, etc., and died terribly.
Hey Arlaeus, I know this video is old but I would really like to get a link to the weak aura you use to track the kills and chance of getting the dagger. I tried accessing your discord to get the link but the discord link is now invalid. Might be a stab in the dark but I hope you can get back to me.
i was borrwing my f riends mage to get the blackstone ring about two weeks ago and the dagger dropped on the 2nd kill. but the tragic thing is i disenchanted it cause i thought it was useless compared to his mageblade.. didnt realise how good it was.
No problem! Get someone to invite your main, hop into an alt, get the invite as well. Then after every run log out of your main, wait 2 minutes for lead to transfer and reset on your alt
I knocked out an epic dagger in 16 runs, I didn't have a goal to knock it out, I just walked from the fact that it was boring and sometimes people could not recruit, now I have this blade, but I don’t understand how to use it ?! Is there any use in mare? Or is it just for ZG? I will be very grateful if you explain how to use it effectively
a tip: the Onyxia offhand is ridiculous for this! it's like barov trinket times two, you can pretty commonly get her to dust storm twice with the onyxia offhand cause the skele is such a tank
Hey Arlaeus, love the video. Excellent information as always! Question: What WeakAura/Addon do you have here that has the Princess Kills + Percent Chance info?
Hey man it's a custom developed weakaura based on the killtrack addon. Shoutout to Shocake who made the first part! It's in my discord if you'd like to grab the export!
@@arlaeus9491 Thank you! I had the killtrack addon - which is amazing Shocake! - and was able to find it in your discord and tweak it to do the percentile. Thanks again for your help and your content!
this dagger dropped on my mage 2th kill but I didnt know it was so good so when a warlock asked if he could roll I said yes and hes now level 50 and not even using it lmao fml
Getting intentionally hit at the beginning is not a good idea for people who watch your videos and then attempt it immediately following as most do. At least a mention of the fact that Princess thrashes and can easily one shot you would be helpful to know ahead of time. I was very confused the first couple times when doing your strategy and learning that the hard way.

You mention a link to a guide how to get the scepter @1:42. I can't find it.

nvm, got the dagger on 384 kill :D
2:30 does this spot also work for the quest reward?
It should count as a kill, so yes it should!
I can confirm it does. Sold the quest kill objective to a hunter.
Thanks alot for the guide! Got the weapon on my second kill lmaaaao

If your mage has enough ZG rep maybe grab the 2 hour 20% run speed buff and the stam one which should help given the way you're kiting.

Thanks for the great video, can you share the droprate - kills - weakaura? People asking since than
Great video as always. I've been curious about the Pom Pyro build. I am running princess as deep fire build. I hope the dagger drops soon so I can quit this farm...
Is it doable with a 31-0-20 raid build?
yes. it is very much doable, and you basically do it just like the pom pyro build
Very first solo kill - got the Blade....WoW gods bless me forever and ever
The ZG Rep comes only from the coins/tokens etc, right? Or does the killing give rep aswell so that farming with your main would be worth even more?
You get rep from killing each croc as well!
@@arlaeus9491 Good to know, thank you very much :) especially for answering so quickly
@@arlaeus9491 I believe up until revered then the rep stops from mobs. Just like with other rep.

Do you have a link to the scepter video?
Hi, love your videos. I was wondering, how does the level 45 I brought with me, loot the princess, since I skip all mobs to get to her?
Master loot?
you could probably farm crystal restore from un'goro to give you a some health regen
What about using Swiftness of Zanza?
I usually use a guildie who is out questing solo to do the reset.
You run around in a circle, fireblasting, and bait Dust Cloud with Iceblock or Barrovs/Ony offhand. Saved you 27m.
What if you die? How do you re-enter? run back in through purple?
Yes unfortunately and then back through the scepter portal

Too bad my mage is on the same account and a new lvl 60 so farming this on my mage would be time inefficient.
Arlaeus where did get ur Frost Resistance Ring?
went there to see if I could do it, had a friend to help me in case it would go wrong the first time.. Got the Dagger :p
Cuantas veces hay que matar la reina de mara para la daga eterna de oscuridad
Arlaeus uploads new vid = bored.exe has stopped working.
😁❤️
Hahaha
So if you use rank 1 AE you will generate even more mana as it cost only 75 mana. plus with clearcast you can not only get off a free cone of cold but gain a couple hundred mana
Pretty much, yeah. Its ridiculous.
Is it possible to get a new scepter? i deleted mine after i outlvled mara during lvling..
try putting in a ticket!
I was lucky tonight, getting blade of eternal darkness. I did the zombies in ZF afterwards, but I did not see the proc during that pull, does blizzard not work with blade? :)
only works on the first tick of blizzard. You also need to face the mobs. The best way to utilize it is coc/flamestrike combos with arcane explosion spam.
What is the trinket he keeps saying? Bearov? I can't quite understand thanks
It's the peasants call.
Hi Arlaeus. Wondering if this is possible with my current raid AP spec, 31/0/20. I am well geared. I just tried, with minor movement speed increase, pots, etc., and died terribly.
Yup!
865 kills so faar still nothing.got 2 times a boe epic drop tho and 1 travellers bagback
keep going man!
Finally droped after 1465 kills :)
How are you shooting fireblast behind you while running forward
How to solo as a mage? No way!! Thanks Arlaeus!!
Hey Arlaeus, I know this video is old but I would really like to get a link to the weak aura you use to track the kills and chance of getting the dagger. I tried accessing your discord to get the link but the discord link is now invalid. Might be a stab in the dark but I hope you can get back to me.
What addon is the princess kill counter?
Weakaura
i was borrwing my f riends mage to get the blackstone ring about two weeks ago and the dagger dropped on the 2nd kill. but the tragic thing is i disenchanted it cause i thought it was useless compared to his mageblade.. didnt realise how good it was.
Holy ship.....
you can restore it!! check out blizzard's restore system and you can restore disenchanted items!
prob a noob question but how do you reset easily w/o a second account?
No problem! Get someone to invite your main, hop into an alt, get the invite as well. Then after every run log out of your main, wait 2 minutes for lead to transfer and reset on your alt
If this dagger still useful at 70 for farming?
I knocked out an epic dagger in 16 runs, I didn't have a goal to knock it out, I just walked from the fact that it was boring and sometimes people could not recruit, now I have this blade, but I don’t understand how to use it ?! Is there any use in mare? Or is it just for ZG? I will be very grateful if you explain how to use it effectively
Can be done at 49.? Maybe with some reset spot
This guy spends hundereds of gold respeccing for us lol thanks bro
i got this like my 10th kill with a party won the roll when i was leveling a verry long time ago so nice to have ben blessed
Wow that's awesome, congrats!!
Got dagger few days ago. 256 kills. Great content. Keep up the nice work.
Congrats!!
why is boulder not stunning you?
So why isn't my barov trinket causing dust cloud?
Sometimes it bugs and doesn’t, you have to wait for it to trigger
@@arlaeus9491 Yeah just learning the fight. It seems to work best if I wait til after she casts her first boulder.
a wild hugme appears
@@TeAnaMysterio wooooooooooo T!
Which addon is showing her health?
I'm using mobinfo2-classic to see her health. Helps a lot when she gets below 25 percent and starts walking slower
i like to get swiftness of zanza with me and go purple side with herbing. that way its so worth it to herb.
Can you kill princesss in greens or blues?
a tip: the Onyxia offhand is ridiculous for this! it's like barov trinket times two, you can pretty commonly get her to dust storm twice with the onyxia offhand cause the skele is such a tank
This is the #1 thing that is missing from this guide, I was going to check the comments to see if someone else posted it
Yes! I've been trying to get it, but unfortunately haven't been able to
Ya I probably should have highlighted it more, I tried to show them as pictures but not a specific talk about them, sorry!
Hey Arlaeus, love the video. Excellent information as always! Question: What WeakAura/Addon do you have here that has the Princess Kills + Percent Chance info?
Hey man it's a custom developed weakaura based on the killtrack addon. Shoutout to Shocake who made the first part! It's in my discord if you'd like to grab the export!
@@arlaeus9491 Thank you! I had the killtrack addon - which is amazing Shocake! - and was able to find it in your discord and tweak it to do the percentile. Thanks again for your help and your content!
where is the nacro for instance resetting ?
this dagger dropped on my mage 2th kill but I didnt know it was so good so when a warlock asked if he could roll I said yes and hes now level 50 and not even using it lmao fml
was only him and I that rolled
What about arcane frost spec?
Same idea as the pom pyro, just with frost!
LiP would have been good to mention at the start lol.
Dropped first kill and a warlock won the roll while leveling. I'm over 400 pulls, it gets mind numbing.
whats a Erb?
Hahaha
Yaaaa been trying it the frost spec and it’s beeen haaaaarrrrdddddd but I keep trying I want that dagger
You're right, i was able to kill her in 33sec yet.
Getting intentionally hit at the beginning is not a good idea for people who watch your videos and then attempt it immediately following as most do. At least a mention of the fact that Princess thrashes and can easily one shot you would be helpful to know ahead of time. I was very confused the first couple times when doing your strategy and learning that the hard way.
that stopping for boulder throw doesnt work anymore
in tbc the dagger will be useless ".. any direct spell" :/
Arcane Power viable here? 31/0/20
