Rewards will vary.

  • Option 3: There are claims that [npc=81431] can solo. While I use Teroclaw a lot in game and in strategies when possible, I did not find it a particularly easy pet to win this fight with this time. YMMV, and if you can make it work, just make sure you stack Flying in slots 2 and 3.

Humanoid: Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!

Open with Sandstorm, use it on CD. Use Deflection when there is one charge on Doom. Crush, Crush, then Crush some more. This will take you through the first two (Breezy Book / Helpful Spirit) and then just use deflection for the sleep dust (or don't) and Crush.

If something goes wrong? Throw in any pet as a backup to finish off the moth and feel free to get a leveler in there.
