Get through BF in record time and move on to instances that you actually want to run.. On Warcraft Episode “Blood furnace Overview” Mark: Welcome back to On Warcraft on On Networks, I am Mark Majcher. Arwin: I am Arwin Lietz. Mark: And we are going to be taking you through the Blood Furnace forge, furnace. Arwin: Burn that blood. Mark: Burning blood. Arwin: Burn it. Mark: This is another kind of medium sized, three boss instance with a bunch of stuff in it. Arwin: It is longer than the Ramparts, and it is a little bit more of a pain in the ass to get through, but it is all about the warlocks, wet dream! They love it here. And all the warlocks in there for mobs, they love you; they want to be with you so it is a good time. Mark: They love you until it hurts. Arwin: It hurts bad. Mark: Alright, we’re ready to go. Arwin: Let’s go, you have to get their first. Mark: We’ve got to get there, how do we get there? Arwin: Well they could not have made it anymore further away for the horde particularly but also for the alliance is a pretty big pain. You have got to go, if you’re starting at the Ramparts, because you know I get there now. Start at the summoning stone and you’ve got the head across to this tiny little bridge that is heading over to the, kind of like the alliance stronghold. You go across the little dirt path and then head around to the right crossing along the chasm edge. You’ll see a long flight of stairs which suck, because if you fall off of the stairs you have to go back and around and go back up the stairs and then you’ll actually walk along Ramparts, why you do not walk on the Ramparts to get to Ramparts I do not know. It is retarded, but you walk along the Ramparts and it will lead you right into the instance, which is at the top of Hellfire Citadel. You head in there and the same thing with the ramparts, you can go in there really early. It is not worth it though, because this instance is about an hour and ½ to 2 hours, much longer than the 45 minutes of Ramparts. Mark: You really only have to do it wants if you want to. Arwin: Just go in for the quest; just really go in for the quest. And that is a quest that you can pick up that 58. You have to start and do the Ramparts first and then go in and continue Hellfire. It is just a collection quest is pretty easy, just kill a couple of orcs and get; actually I think you get the blood. Mark: Awesome, in the furnace? Arwin: In the furnace that’s right, the crucible as it were. The other thing that you can do is this kind of a exploration quest when you go into the Blood Furnace, you have to go to certain points like the final boss and you’ll find that and no problem there. So… Mark: Let’s get in it. Arwin: We are in. We have figured it out and we have found where it was, the trash in here, there’s going to be some rogues stuffed in here. They’ll just kinda chill out and wait for you, they also respawn so even after you’ve found them and killed them if you inevitably wipe and come back in… Mark: Yep, they will be there waiting for you. Arwin: So don’t run in alone, it is silly. Mark: Keep a buddy. Arwin: Keep a buddy always at least a buddy, a buddy or four. Mark: Maybe five, or four. Arwin: The whole party in their but as I mentioned before it is a lot of warlocks, warlock paradise. This is where they go on spring break I think so when you’re in there killing you want to make sure to line of sight pull them so that they have to run forward and kill you, or try to. Hopefully they don’t. Mark: You do not want them to kill you. Arwin: You do not want them to kill you. Mark: Don’t do that. Arwin: But they fear because they are warlocks, so pull them away from any other mobs that you are fighting, and if they cast Hellfire or anything else like that on you move out of it. Just walk away. You do have some, some summoners; you want to make sure that you kill those guys first because they’ll come after you. So the trash is not too big, not too big of a deal nothing out of the ordinary. If you have a warlock in your party then it is super handy because they… Mark: They grabbed those monsters with their mind and throw them away. Arwin: They can enslave and you can have a monster tank for you to kill other things or whatever else happens. There are lot of fell guards in here and those are the big nasty tin men of the warlock world they’re pretty tough so again it is helpful to have a warlock insight. It is also really handy to have a crowd control in this instance. All three bosses somehow can benefit from, very benefit from the crowd control. So we will talk a little bit more about the bosses in other episodes. Beyond that, aside from nice to have a warlock, nice to have or really nice to have crowd control your typical fine and party is going to get through your just fine. Mark: Yeah, walk on through. Arwin: You just get on through and get your quest done, it is pretty standard and it has got good reputation, better loot than ramparts actually. Mark: But none as efficient time vs. the looting. Arwin: No, not as efficient, but when your grinding up from 61 to 62 this is another place to come. Mark: You’re going to hit it. Arwin: Hit it good. OK one thing to note if you do find yourself in the blood furnace and you want to jack up your experience in your reputation gain. Mark: You can do that. Arwin: You can do that, as you are in the Hellfire Peninsula there are PVP options, this is even on non PVP servers it is kind of cool. You can capture towers and you’ll go back to your town and get tokens or something like that, you will turn them in and they’ll give you different marks that add buff to you. The buff will give you 25% more honor, reputation game, and 5% more experience. Mark: That is good. Arwin: So if you find yourself in instance that frankly is not as efficient as ramparts in the Hellfire area. Mark: Say Blood Furnace? Arwin: I don’t know Blood Furnace? Mark: Blood Furnace right, yeah. Arwin: Use that buff and it will increase your reputation and experience game. Mark: Make it a little smoother for you. Arwin: Always a good thing, grind it on up from 56 to 62. Mark: Cool so let’s stop killing trash and start killing bosses. Arwin: That is right the next thing we are going to talk about is the first boss in the instance which is The Maker. Mark: The Maker. Arwin: He has quite a bit of trash to him, not as much as the Ramparts but we will take you all through that. Mark: But space it all out.
