The Nokhud Offensive
4 encounters, 38 boss abilities and 26 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
After Clan Nokhud captured the ancient eagle spirit, Ohn'ahra, civil war spread across the Ohn'ahran plains like wildfire. To the other clans, Ohn'ahra is more than a mere spirit: she is their goddess. Primalists summon elemental forces, and necromancers command the spirits of legendary centaur. Beset by enemies, the other Maruuk clans rally. The Nokhud tyrant, Balakar Khan, watches from afar, bellowing commands. Relentless enemy offenses will continue until his forces submit. The battlefield awaits.
