WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 3 Kicks Off

While our group has fallen off of the Season of Discovery wagon… we’re honestly in a bit of a hiatus save for Potshot and I… the world of Azeroth keeps on spinning even while we’re away.  And so Phase 3 of the Season of Discovery experiment arrived yesterday afternoon Pacific time. Now featuring Phase 3 Phase 3 lifts the level cap to 50, though to help people keep up there will remain an 100% xp…

Facing the Avatar of Hakkar

Facing the Avatar of Hakkar

It was time for another trip to Sunken Temple.  It was time to try the Avatar of Hakkar, the one part of the instance we had yet to attempt.  We got on together and flew down to Nethergarde Keep once more to join up.  Our group was:

Viniki – level 53 gnome warrior

Skronk – level 53 dwarf priest

Moronae – level 53 night elf druid

Ula – level 53 gnome mage

And we started running into problems…

It was time for our second run into Sunken Temple.  We did the downstairs bit last time, so it was time to move upward I suppose.

The Temple of Atal’Hakkar

We got ourselves online and on our way to the temple.  Our group for the week was:

Viniki – level 53 gnome warrior

Skronk – level 53 dwarf priest

Moronae – level 52 night elf druid

Ula – level 52 gnome mage

From Nethergarde Keep we rode on out…

After a week of getting class quests together and another wrapping up the lead-in quests for the instance, we were finally ready to step foot into the Temple of Atal’Hakkar, the Sunken Temple.

The Temple Awaits

We actually ended up heading in on Saturday, on very short notice, when it became clear we were all around and had the time.  It turned out to be a good thing too, as during our usual time…

The Long Road to Sunken Temple

The Long Road to Sunken Temple

I had a notion in my head that perhaps we could run down the lead-in quests for Sunken Temple and then maybe set foot in the instance for a bit, just to get started.  Some wildly optimistic part of my brain thought maybe we could even slip in and finish Moronae’s class quest.  WoW Classic, however, had other ideas.

But first we had to pick up where we left offwith Moronae’s class quest in Un’goro…

Class Quest Prep for Sunken Temple

Class Quest Prep for Sunken Temple

We decided that we had had enough of Maraudon in our two runs and turned our gaze towards Sunken Temple, or The Temple of Atal’Hakkar, to give it its proper name.

The Temple of Atal’Hakkar out in the swamp

But there was some preliminary work to be done.  Some of it was the usual rounding up of quests for the instance.  Oddly, my usual starting point for that, Icy Veins, doesn’t seem to have the…
