WANTED: Rift Lords

WANTED: Rift Lords is a dungeon quest for level 25-30 in The Black Morass, added in The Burning Crusade. It rewards 1 reward item, 2 reputation rewards, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Mah'duun knows where you must go. Mah'duun knows that you must kill rift lords. But, Mah'duun does not know exactly when.

I know that does not make sense, but the voice on the winds was not more specific.

Travel to the Black Morass through the Caverns of Time and the way shall be made clear.

Rewards

Money21 gold
Experience4,100 XP

This quest can be solod.

Granted, it does require DPS of certain quality. As an almost dream geared MH/BT mage with a PvP spec I'm cutting it just barely. But hey, you can bring a friend, it's still easier than assembling a full group.

It's simple. Zone in, grab a Chrono-beacon. Run somewhat close to Medivh and deal with any animals that followed you. Then move closer to start the event.

Simply put, the first portal can spawn a Rift Lord. If it doesn't, just defend Medivh and hope the second one does. Regardless, once you get a portal with a Rift Lord, go there and use your Chrono-beacon next to the Rift Lord.

The dragon it spawns has immense threat generation. It lasts only 30 seconds, however. Simply burn the bastard down with all you've got. It's safe to kill it while the dragon is alive, you'll still get quest credit. (edited this part after 4 months \o/)

Afterwards, just run out and reset the instance. Do it until you've killed four. If you brought a friend you could of course stay and hope the next portal spawns a Rift Lord as well, assuming you don't need to wait for cooldowns to produce the DPS necessary.

You don't have to run out now, multiple portals will open. DO NOT stand next to Medivh and just kill the adds, you need to go to the portal to kill either the Keeper or the Lord. I had to kill three Keepers to get to the fourth Lord.
