Quest
Dark Grimoire: Breaching the Barrier
A World of Warcraft quest in Shadowmoon Valley. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
If you are a hunter, jump the first barrier (don't land on a glowing circle) turn your back to the Grimoire and hit "disengage". You'll easily clear the barriers.
Confirmed that hunter disengage works great for this. Just stand on the rock and you get right in. For anyone who doesn't know where the cave is, it's Swamplight Cave at 42; 73 near the shore.

Description
The components have been gathered and the "Arcane Bunker Buster" is assembled. Hopefully, this should pack enough punch to take out the barrier. There's only one way to find out...
